PennDOT Announces Road Closure Due to Bridge Projects

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) said Aug. 12, 2025, that the closure of Jenks Street in the town of Brookville will be extended through the summer of 2026 to allow for the partial demolition of the Interstate 80 bridges that pass over the roadway.

The project is in support of the larger I-80 North Fork Bridge Project, a $328 million effort to upgrade the freeway and its structures in Jefferson County, northeast of Pittsburgh.

BPC’s subcontractor, Pittsburgh-based Fay, had closed Jenks Street/Pa. Highway 4003 in September of 2024 to allow for partial demolition of the I-80 bridges over the roadway.

The shutdown was originally anticipated to end on Dec. 31; however, due to project scheduling needs, the closure will now remain in effect through the summer of 2026, PennDOT noted. Once a specific date is scheduled to reopen the road, additional information will be released.

Work also is under way in Pine Creek to replace the Richardsville Road/Pa. 4005 bridges over the interstate highway, as well as the extension of the North Fork Park Culvert, which carries I-80 traffic across the tributary to North Fork Redbank Creek.

In PennDOT’s most recent update on the project, it noted that Richardsville Road, which was shuttered in January 2025, will remain so until March 2028. During that time, crews will fully remove and reconstruct the roadway’s bridge over the freeway.

The entire construction effort is part of the PennDOT Major Bridges P3 Program.

Major Builders

Combine to Upgrade Bridges

Bridging Pennsylvania Developers — I, or BPD-I, is led jointly by Shikun & Binui Ltd. and Macquarie Capital as the lead project developers and equity members.

The BPC joint venture consortium includes the design and construction expertise of S&B USA Construction in Pittsburgh, and FCC Construction. S&B USA serves as the construction arm of Shikun & Binui and also is the parent company of Fay.

Other major bridge subcontractors on the I-80 North Fork Bridge Project include H&K Group in Skippack, Pa.; Wagman Heavy Civil in York, Pa.; Kokosing Construction Co.; and the lead designer, Michael Baker International — both of which are located in Pittsburgh.

The $328 million I-80 North Fork Bridge Project first got under way in June of 2024 with a projected completion set for the summer of 2028, according to the state transportation agency.

The interstate bridges are dual structures (one eastbound and one

westbound) originally built in 1962 and most recently rehabilitated in 2013. They support freeway traffic over North Fork Redbank Creek and Water Plant Road within a deep gorge in the Jefferson County communities of Brookville

and Pine Creek.

The existing bridges are separated by approximately 1,100 ft., with the Walter Dick Memorial Park located between and below the two structures.

Combined, the twin bridges are expected to carry approximately 30,900 vehicles daily — 44 percent of which is truck traffic.

PennDOT and its construction partners are aiming to provide safe, efficient and effective crossings of I-80 over the creek and Water Plant Road that appropriately accommodates interstate traffic with respect to connectivity, mobility, loading and geometry, according to an online description on the agency’s website.

The main spans of the existing bridges are steel two-girder systems with floor beams and stringers. In addition, the structures are fracture-critical since many of their components are nonredundant.

Both spans also have problematic fatigue details which have received multiple retrofits during their service lives, PennDOT noted. The department added that the eastbound bridge is in poor shape, while the westbound span is in fair condition. Inspections are required on a six-month and one-year basis, respectively.

As a result of their multiple issues, both bridges are nearing the end of their serviceable lifespans.

This particular section of I-80 has a posted speed limit of 70 mph but does not have the proper horizontal and vertical geometry to meet the 70 mph design criteria, according to PennDOT. Many vehicle crashes — nearly twice the statewide average — have occurred on this segment of I-80 due to a substandard curve on the western approach to the eastbound bridge.

W.Va. Wants to Install More Structural Monitoring Systems On Old State Bridges

A state and federal project that installed hightech monitors on a Huntington, W.Va., bridge could be rolled out to other West Virginia bridges to identify structural issues before they become safety hazards.

Gov. Patrick Morrisey and state Department of Transportation (WVDOT) Cabinet Secretary Stephen Todd Rumbaugh joined Shaz Umer, the director of strategic initiatives for the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), for an event Aug. 7, 2025, to celebrate the initial phase of a project to install sophisticated Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) equipment on the Frank Gatski Memorial Bridge over the Ohio River.

The $812,000 project, started by WVDOT in 2024, is being funded through USDOT’s Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grant Program. The funds will go toward the deployment of advanced structural health monitoring technology that uses sensors and data-driven tools to enable real-time tracking of bridge conditions.

system made possible by the federal SMART grant program.

demonstration projects that use technology to improve road and bridge efficiency and safety.

CGA Launches New PSA About Damage Prevention for 8/11

Common Ground Alliance (CGA), the national association working to prevent damage to underground infrastructure, released a new radio PSA to highlight the importance of contacting 811 before beginning digging projects.

The SHM system includes accelerometers, crack meters, tilt sensors and vessel collision detectors, according to a news release from Morrissey’s office. These tools provide continuous data that allows engineers to quickly address threats that could go undetected for months or even years.

According to officials, the system helps maintenance workers shift from reactive repairs to proactive monitoring. It is designed to enhance safety, improve efficiency, save tax dollars and establish the state as a leader in infrastructure innovation.

West Virginia is the first state in the country to use the Stage One SMART Grant specifically for this type of advanced bridge monitoring.

“Through the … SMART grant program, we’re bringing the future of infrastructure management right here to West Virginia,” Rumbaugh said. “What does that mean for our state? It means we can detect problems early before they become an emergency. It means we can prioritize our resources, making smart and more cost-effective repairs. And most importantly, it means safer roads, stronger connections and peace of mind for every West Virginian who travels across one of our bridges.”

In his remarks, Umer added, “This isn’t just about upkeep. It’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in infrastructure care.

“The technology installed in this bridge includes vibration sensors, tiltmeters, crack meters, displacement sensors, a weather station and a vessel collision detection system. These advanced technological sensors provide critical data on the bridge’s structural performance, enabling West Virginia’s Department of Transportation to prioritize repairs and make decisions more effectively. The system’s real-time data collection is a game changer.”

Morrisey Wants to Use SHM Technology Statewide

The SMART Grant program was created by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with $100 million in annual appropriations through federal fiscal year 2026. The grant is designed to provide funding for transportation

The program’s funding is divided among two stages, the Parkersburg, W.Va., news source reported Aug. 8.

The Huntington bridge was one of 127 first stage projects approved so far. Stage One projects also are eligible to apply for Stage Two grants, which could award up to $15 million and 36 months of additional funding.

“This project is a prime example of innovation and safety meeting critical infrastructure,” said Umer. “Every day, we’re dedicated to finding innovative ways to help people and goods move around safely and save taxpayer dollars in maintaining the infrastructure to do so. Today, we celebrate a significant advancement in that mission.”

The project is a partnership between the West Virginia DOT, HMTV and Marshall University.

Morrisey thanked U.S. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy and President Donald Trump for their support for the project.

According to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, among West Virginia’s total of 7,348 bridges, 3,489 need repairs and of those, 1,370 bridges, or 18.6 percent, were classified as being deficient.

In June, Morrisey announced a series of WVDOT reforms that included a directive ordering the agency to create a new project list to assess the need for repair and replacement of bridges and highways statewide. It also should prioritize the order in which those projects are to be completed.

In addition, the governor asked the state transportation department to work with federal counterparts and local counties to leverage additional resources for existing road and bridge maintenance and make better use of data to create a long-term plan to prioritize maintenance and make betterinformed financial decisions.

Morrisey pointed to the state’s use of a SHM system on the Gatski Bridge as a good example of what he wants to do across the state, according to the News and Sentinel.

“This is just an incredible opportunity, and it fits in very well with our long-term strategy in terms of how we’re trying to build up our infrastructure,” he said. “We’re rolling up our sleeves, and we’re getting to work and we’re laying out our plan. We need to be patching potholes and fixing the bridges, and that’s got to be a big priority. That’s why today’s announcement is so terrific.” 

Nearly 200,000 times each year, buried power, water, internet, natural gas and other utility lines are damaged by digging, costing the United States $30 billion annually.

The 30-second spot entitled “Problem” features a homeowner and contractor discussing the construction of a new deck, the contractor’s failure to contact 811 beforehand and the sound of a struck utility line. CGA President and CEO Sarah K. Magruder Lyle reminds listeners what’s at stake — communities, property and lives — and encourages listeners to visit 811beforeyoudig.com to find their state 811 one-call center.

The PSA will be distributed to radio stations nationwide beginning today, and also will be available on streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and others. The spot was specifically released today, Aug. 11, to mark National 8/11 Day — the national awareness campaign day that reminds Americans to contact 811 before digging.

“Nearly 200,000 times each year, the buried utilities upon which all Americans rely are damaged through digging by homeowners, contractors and others,” said Sarah K. Magruder Lyle, CGA president and CEO. “This year, we’re taking to the airwaves to remind everyone that contacting 811 before digging is free, easy and in many places, it’s the law. On 8/11 Day and every day, those three simple numbers can help prevent utility outages, community disruptions, injuries and worse. Whether major construction or a small DIY backyard project, it takes just moments to contact 811. Doing so may save lives — including your own.”

As Key Bridge Demolition Continues, Md. Officials Prepare to Build New Span

Demolition of the remaining structures that were once part of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore is in full swing as transportation officials prepare to lay the foundation for a new, taller replacement.

Gov. Wes Moore led a delegation of federal, state and local officials on a tour of the bridge site July 30, 2025, as workers stripped slabs of decking from the steel skeleton.

Afterwards, Moore told reporters that the speed of the demolition work has been impressive and compared its progress to that of the building of Detroit’s Gordie Howe International Bridge, which he said, “took years just to get the permitting done.”

Initial estimates place the cost of the bridge reconstruction at about $2 billion, although its price tag has not yet been finalized.

“This is a team that has now gotten the permitting done in a matter of months,” he said. “That’s been able to really keep us on track to deliver something that’s going to be powerful, and a true project that the people of the state can be proud of.”

In March 2024, the Dali, a 948-ft. container ship, collided with a support structure on the 47-year-old bridge over the Patapsco River as it was leaving Baltimore’s harbor, causing the span’s center section to collapse. Six people on a road crew working on the bridge died as a result of the accident.

Demolition crews are now methodically peeling away the decking from what remains of the bridge. Each slab weighs between five and seven tons. Onlookers at the site on July 30 could feel the remaining structure shake as heavy equipment moved large chunks of the decking, according to Maryland Matters.

State officials said that bringing the bridge down piece by piece rather than using controlled demolition is environmentally sound and eliminates the need to remove debris from the river channel. The process to clear the road surface from the steel structure is expected to take nine months.

The demolition, including removing the steel structure itself, will continue throughout 2025, the online news site noted. Initial work is set to begin on the new bridge in late 2025, possibly as early as September.

Maryland state transportation executives have noted that the new span will be 230 ft. above the water line — about 45 ft. higher than the original bridge. The new alignment will run parallel to the old structure but will be approximately 260 ft. to the east.

Brian Wolfe, the director of project management at the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), told Maryland Matters that re-siting the new bridge was necessary to avoid debris and a riverbed he described as “almost like soup.”

“It’s upwards of 60 to 70 feet of very loose material [on top of] a hard layer that we can actually put our foundations into,” he said. “There was also some debris on the far side, by the north end, that we thought we could miss as we were starting the original design. But as we progressed, we realized that it was going to be in conflict, which was going to potentially [cause] a delay in the project.”

By shifting or moving the bridge alignment to the current location, he said, the designers were able to avoid that potential conflict.

The new span will be more than 400 ft. longer than the original bridge, with a length of 1,665 ft. between the two piers over the Patapsco River shipping channel.

Bridge’s Cost, Schedule Still in Flux

The initial phase of the new Key Bridge construction includes a series of test piles, or 2-in.-thick steel rolled into cylinders 8 ft. in diameter.

According to Wolfe, they will be driven into the riverbed and tested with millions of lbs. of force “in order to verify the foundation design our engineers are currently working on. Once we verify that it can carry the loads that we anticipate, that confirms the design and lets us finalize the details, lets us move ahead with procuring more materials, progressing the design and getting into construction.”

Plans for the four-lane highway bridge project also include inside and outside shoulders in each direction, something the original Key Bridge did not have, according to Maryland Matters.

Initial estimates place the cost of the bridge reconstruction at about $2 billion, although its price tag has not yet been finalized.

“We’re discovering a lot of things as we go along,” Bruce Gartner, MDTA executive director, told reporters at the demolition site. “Later this year, we hope to be out with more information, but we really want to get farther along before we do that update [so we] know exactly where we stand with cost and schedule.”

He noted that among the factors being examined are how inflation, supply chain issues and tariffs could affect the final project costs.

Promised Federal Funding Could Be in Jeopardy

Hours after the bridge collapsed last year, then-President Joe Biden promised full federal funding for a replacement span.

Today, however, concerns persist that the federal government might renege on the earlier agreement.

President Donald Trump continues to follow through on campaign promises to reduce federal spending. Included in that effort are cuts in aid to state and local governments. He also has shown a willingness to disregard funding earmarked by federal lawmakers and to take those battles to court.

Despite that, Maryland U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen has expressed confidence in the federal reimbursement.

“The federal funds are secure,” he said. “We put the funds earmarked essentially in what’s called the Emergency Relief Fund, and we increased [it] to $8 billion, so those funds are set in stone.” 

WVDOT Presents Check for WVU Tech Scholarship Fund

Transportation Secretary Todd Rumbaugh presented the check to Civil Engineering Professor Steven Leftwich, an instructor of Tech for the past 38 years.

State Transportation Secretary Stephen Todd Rumbaugh presented the West Virginia University Institute of Technology with a $10,000 check for the university’s Beckley campus.

In October 2024, the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) won the 2024 America’s Transportation Awards People’s Choice Award for the Wellsburg Bridge project. Sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), AAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the America’s Transportation Awards recognizes the positive impacts of state department of transportation projects have on communities across the nation.

West Virginia was one of 12 finalists in the national competition of the America’s Transportation Award. The People’s Choice Award was determined by public vote, and carried a $10,000 prize to be donated to a charity of the winning state’s choice.

Then-Transportation Secretary Jimmy Wriston, an alumnus of Tech’s engineering school, decided that the $10,000 should go to Tech’s Beckley campus to be used for a scholarship fund at his alma mater.

Current Transportation Secretary Rumbaugh, also a Tech engineering alumnus, recently presented the check to Civil Engineering Professor Steven Leftwich, an instructor of Tech for the past 38 years.

“A lot of students can’t afford to go to college,” Leftwich said. “I wasn’t able to get all my degrees without scholarships.

“This is really going to help our students,” he said. “We need more scholarships like this.”

Rumbaugh said he was proud to be able to present the check to help train a new crop of engineers.

“They’re our future,” he said.

The Wellsburg Bridge, which connects the communities of Wellsburg, W.Va., and Brilliant, Ohio, opened in September 2023 to a fanfare of marching bands, confetti and fireworks, completing a project that residents of the two communities had been pursuing for a century. An estimated 2,500 people turned out for the bridge grand opening. 

Alexandria, Arlington, Rebuild Bridge Over Four Mile Run

A project to rebuild a street bridge between the northern Virginia cities of Arlington and Alexandria will start in midAugust 2025, bringing approximately two years of construction impacts, Patch Media noted July 30.

Arlington County is leading the effort to reconstruct the Arlington Ridge Road/Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge over Four Mile Run, which is actually a more than 9-mi.-long creek that empties into the nearby Potomac River just south of Reagan National Airport.

Both localities cite the poor condition of the bridge, located within the lower 2 mi. of the stream, and which already has its west sidewalk closed due to structural deficiencies.

Preparations for the bridge’s upgrade are slated to begin during the first week of August on the Alexandria side of Four Mile Run.

The two cities, across the Potomac from Washington, D.C, are splitting the costs of the $23.8 million project. Its construction is expected to be completed in the summer of 2027.

Patch Media reported that the work will involve upgrading both the crumbling road and the underlying bridge deck.

Due to the condition of the current structure, Arlington County and the city of Alexandria are working as partners to fasttrack the design and construction of the replacement bridge.

Responding to citizen concerns for connectivity between the two towns and the impact to residents living in proximity, the Arlington Ridge Road/Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge will continue to operate during construction, but with reduced lane capacity.

Work will happen on one side of the street bridge at a time, meaning that the other side

will remain open to traffic in both directions. A sidewalk also will be available for people walking or biking throughout the duration of the bridge’s reconstruction, Alexandria municipal officials noted.

The initial phase of the rebuilding effort is likely to last for a year, with a single lane of traffic in each direction staying open while the southbound lanes are being improved. However, weekend parking along Mount Vernon Avenue will not be available at any time during the reconstruction.

The Alexandria city government said on its website that it will maintain proper erosion and sediment controls along Four Mile Run, which will include tree fencing.

The goals for the street/bridge improvements include:

• returning the structure to a safe operational condition for all users;

• improving access for people walking, biking and driving; and

• advancing the community vision of the Four Mile Run Master Plan, which looks to reinvigorate the stream, its trails and the floodplain to a more enjoyable state for residents and visitors alike.

Earlier, in 2022 and 2023, Alexandria and Arlington collaborated on a project to repair the West Glebe Road Bridge, another deteriorating bridge over the creek that links the two vibrant communities.

A local artist, Vicki Scuri, also is incorporating art elements into the design of the Arlington Ridge Road/Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge that takes inspiration from the natural beauty of Four Mile Run.

Once complete, that bridge and the West Glebe Road Bridge, located just a mile upstream, will be seen as a pair. The Arlington Ridge Road/Mount Vernon

New York City’s plans for a direct train link from Brooklyn to Queens, known as the Interborough Express (IBX), took a big step toward being realized July 30 when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced a board-approved design contract.

The board voted at its monthly meeting to approve the full design of the proposed rail line, which will connect Queens commuters to the Brooklyn waterfront in Bay Ridge, all while bypassing Manhattan. Members okayed a nearly $166 million design contract with a joint venture made up of Jacobs Engineering and HDR.

In total, the construction is expected to cost $5.5 billion, amNY reported.

The design contract will include a “comprehensive scope of work,” where engineers will conduct surveys, geotechnical and environmental investigations and structure inspections, among other tasks, to advance the design.

MTA officials said that engineers also will assist in third-party negotiations and public outreach.

“The joint venture was selected because of its strong leadership team, thoughtful management approach, its comprehensive

understanding of corridor constraints and its extensive experience performing the work of comparable magnitude and complexity,” said Charles Gantz, IBX project executive.

The Interborough Express is seen by the MTA, along with many other state and local officials, as being a transformative rapid transit project that will connect currently underserved areas of Brooklyn and Queens.

When operational, the IBX “will substantially cut down on travel times between the two boroughs, reduce congestion and expand economic opportunities for the people who live and work in the surrounding neighborhoods,” according to the transportation agency.

IBX to Use Existing Rail Lines for Quicker Delivery

Plans for the IBX include turning existing infrastructure — notably a freight rail line that carries one to two trains a day — into a light-rail line that will serve approximately 200,000 passengers.

The project would be built along the existing Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)-owned Bay Ridge Branch and the CSX-owned Fremont Secondary, a freight line that extends from Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, to

Jackson Heights in Queens.

Using the existing rail infrastructure means the IBX could be built more quickly and efficiently, according to MTA. It also would preserve the Bay Ridge Branch’s use as a freight line, providing an opportunity to connect to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Cross-Harbor Freight project.

After it is completed, the IBX rail line will start at Roosevelt Avenue in Queens and feature 19 stops along the corridor before reaching the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Bay Ridge.

Its route will bypass Manhattan, but carry commuter trains through several neighborhoods, including Jackson Heights, Maspeth, Ridgewood, Midwood, East Flatbush, East New York and Brownsville — just to name a few — before the final stop at the army terminal.

Close to 900,000 people living along the route would have access to the new transit option, along with another 260,000 who work in Brooklyn and Queens.

The entire 14-mi. route would likely take about 40 minutes and connect to 17 subway lines, including the LIRR, adding more travel alternatives for New Yorkers who live in

transportation deserts with minimal train availability.

Daily weekday ridership projections by the MTA are estimated at 115,000.

Janno Lieber, who serves as the MTA’s chair and president, told amNY that the IBX will offer a “complete change of mobility and access for so many people.”

“This is a huge deal. The IBX is going to change people’s lives and folks are understandably psyched about it,” she said.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has championed the IBX project for the state-run MTA since she took office in 2021.

“She has been pushing it forward every step of the way and making sure we had the resources to advance it,” said Lieber.

In early 2022, Hochul directed the MTA to begin the environmental review process for the new rail line.

A year later, after extensive planning, analysis and public engagement, light rail was chosen because it promised to provide the optimal service for riders at the best value.

The IBX project will be funded through investments made for expansion within the MTA’s approved $68.4 billion 2025-2029 capital plan. 

Granite Acquires Warren Paving, Papich Construction Designs Receive Approval for IBX Light Rail Line in NYC

Granite announced that it has completed two acquisitions that strengthen its vertically-integrated home markets for a combined purchase price of $710 million, subject to customary closing adjustments.

Together, the acquisitions are expected to contribute approximately $425 million in revenue annually with an expected adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 18 percent. This implies a blended multiple of approximately 9.2x expected adjusted EBITDA.

“We are excited to welcome Warren Paving and Papich Construction,” said Kyle Larkin, Granite president and chief executive officer. “Their management teams have strong track records of success, and we look forward to combining our businesses. These acquisitions mark another significant step forward as we continue to grow our industry–leading, vertically-integrated business. With our strong cash generation and robust acquisition pipeline, I expect to continue to grow our home markets through bolt-on transactions and expansion into new markets.”

“We are excited to welcome Warren Paving and Papich Construction.”

Kyle Larkin Granite

Acquisition of Warren Paving Business

Warren Paving is a aggregates producer with vertically-integrated operations in the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast regions, operating a network of strategically located assets, including one quarry, one sand and gravel operation, 11 aggregate yards, three asphalt plants and a fleet of 168 owned and leased barges. This acquisition adds more than 400 million tons of aggregate reserves and resources and is a transformative opportunity to own and operate one of the largest and most attractive quarry and distribution networks in the Southeast, according to Granite.

Warren Paving’s assets are highly complementary to Granite’s

southeastern platform’s plant networks across Mississippi and is expected to generate annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $275 million and $52 million, respectively, representing an expected adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 19 percent, according to Granite.

Acquisition of Papich Construction Business

Papich Construction specializes in infrastructure projects, including road, rail and highway construction and supplies both internal projects and third-party customers with a full suite of asphalt and aggregates products, including sand, gravel and crushed rock. The acquisition includes a gravel mine,

two quarries and two asphalt plants.

Strategic, Financial Rationale for Acquisitions

Strengthens vertical integration with enhanced scale: The acquisitions strengthen Granite’s vertical integration in both the California and Southeast markets. The barge network in the Southeast presents significant opportunities to supply additional locations as we continue to expand and work to increase volumes.

Increases exposure to aggregates: These acquisitions increase Granite’s aggregates reserves and resources by approximately 30 percent and annual aggregate production by approximately 5 million tons, or 27 percent.

Enhances financial profile: The acquisitions are expected to be immediately adjusted EBITDA margin accretive, with an estimated annual uplift of approximately 60 basis points driven by the increased aggregates exposure.

Capitalizes on strong financial position: The strength of our bal-

ance sheet and underlying operations, supplemented by the amended and restated credit facility position us to continue to invest in organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

Financing

The acquisitions were financed through a new 5-year $600 million term loan, $100 million of cash on hand and $10 million drawn on an upsized revolver of $600 million. Granite’s pro forma net leverage ratio1 for an annual period, inclusive of the acquisitions, is well below its target of 2.5x.

“These acquisitions are in line with our capital allocation strategy and reinforce our focus on driving sustainable, long-term value creation for our shareholders,” said Staci Woolsey, Granite executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Our cash generation and upsized credit facility allow us to continue to execute on high quality M&A transactions while maintaining a prudent leverage ratio.” For more information, visit graniteconstruction.com. 

CAP Mid Air Park in Philadelphia to ‘Cap’ Busy Interstate 95

Setting Steel

The aptly named Central Access Philadelphia (CAP) seeks to place a “cap” on top of busy roadways, including Interstate 95, at the eastern edge of the city. The CAP will be a concrete lid on top of the highways that will enable people to walk or bicycle from downtown’s historic areas to Penn’s Landing at the Philadelphia waterfront. There, people will be able to take in the waterfront views, enjoy restaurants, amusements and hotels. Meanwhile, the traffic will continue to flow unencumbered beneath the park.

Along the way, people will be able to pause at the greenspace on the cap to relax under some 100 trees, catch a concert or even go skating in the winter. Making this dream come true will require some big muscles and big plans. Buckley & Co. will be bringing it all together as the general contractor for the cap job. Chad Lavallee PE, project manager of Buckley, will be coordinating an army of subcontractors with an equally impressive army of equipment for the job. The price tag for the work is $340 million.

The lid of the cap will be comprised of an 8-in. slab of concrete, complete with troughs to hold the trees. Of course, a lid like this will require enormous support from steel beams and a sturdy steel web to connect the beams to the concrete lid.

Workers are setting the steel pilings and footers that will support the cap. The Buckley team is working with High Steel Fabricator from Lancaster, Pa., to produce the steel and Connell & Co to install the steel girders to support the CAP. Workers will be using 240 girders, most of them 130 ft. long. By mid-July, the team had the first set of 80 girders placed over I-95 southbound. Workers hope to have another set of 80 girders hoisted into position over northbound I-95 in the summer of 2026.

Lavallee describes the cranes used for this work as “huge.” Buckley has used a 250-ton Kobelco crane for the work, assisted by a 200-ton Kobelco. “We had to use stretch trailers to bring in the beams,” said Lavallee. “We are using 100-ton Manitowoc cranes to place the cross braces between the girders to stabilize everything.”

American Pile is playing a key role by driving caissons 6 ft. in diameter to provide the footings for the support. The cap plan calls for 26 of these caissons to be installed. The team will be using a Liebherr 45-ton for this work, including coring through concrete. American Pile also has been using a Junttan pile rig on site driving 24-in. pipe piles into the ground. “Our team will be drilling into the bedrock to make sure we have a solid foundation for the bridges to support the

cap. We have run into some obstructions while drilling for the caissons, but we will work through that.”

Lavallee and the construction team will be starting two retaining walls this summer. The team will be using 80,000 cu.-yds. of Ultra-Lightweight Foamed Glass Aggregates (UL-FGA). This material is made from 99 percent recycled container glass and is 85 percent lighter than traditional materials. It is produced by a local contractor, AeroAggregates.

Working in tight spaces with active roadways is challenging. Workers and equipment have been equal to the task.

“JPC Group has been doing a great job of rerouting sewers,” said Lavallee. “That part of the work is about 75 percent finished. We needed that room to build some of the Front Street abutments.”

While construction for the cap is happening, parallel work has proceeded in a nearby parking lot.

“People entering the park from the south side will use a pedestrian bridge to get to the cap. When the south side pedestrian bridge is finished, it will be rolled into place. The cable-stayed bridge will weigh about 1,000 tons but building it away from the highway is much safer,” said Lavallee. Cyclists and pedestrians must now carefully negotiate busy

The south side pedestrian bridge is being built in a separate area. The cable-stayed bridge will weigh about 1,000 tons and will be rolled into place when finished.

traffic to get to the recently completed Delaware River Trail along the waterfront. The team will be cooperating on another heavy lift — relocating massive memorial statues that had to be moved away for the construction project. The bronze Irish monument weighs six tons, while the granite Scottish memorial weighs about 30 tons.

When the support structures for the cap are complete, Buckley will be partnering with Daniel Keating Company and Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) for the final build-out of the lid for the cap. The new park will be called the Park at Penn’s Landing and will link Philadelphia’s historic downtown and the scenic Delaware River.

Vögele’s New Electric Pavers — Low Noise, Zero Emissions

At bauma 2025, Joseph Vögele AG presented the SUPER 1300-5e, the company’s first fully electric compact paver.

Its little brothers, the battery-powered MINI 500e and the MINI 502e pavers with an electrically heated screed, have now also joined the family of machines with zero operating emissions.

Paving With Zero Operating Emissions, Low Noise

Whether it be official environmental standards, noise abatement regulations or sustainability goals, the demands for environmental compatibility and carbon neutrality on infrastructure projects are a constant growing challenge for construction companies. In view of this, electrified construction equipment plays an increasingly important role in the achievement of zero operating emissions in road construction.

Vögele has therefore expanded its range in the E-Power segment and is presenting not only the MINI 500e and MINI 502e mini class pavers at bauma 2025, but also is celebrating the first public appearance of the company’s new, fully electric, compact class paver, the SUPER 1300-5e.

All three models feature a battery-electric drive concept and an electrically heated extending screed. As low-noise machines with zero operating emissions, they are ideal for paving in urban settings, enclosed spaces, or in particularly sensitive areas, according to Vögele.

SUPER 1300-5e

the SUPER 1300-5e is the first fully electric compact class paver from Vögele, and simultaneously the first electric paver of the Dash 5 generation.

In combination with the AB 340 extending screed, it has pave widths between 5.9 ft. and 13.7 ft., making it the ideal choice for small and medium scale road construction projects. The liquid-cooled lithium ion battery from Kreisel Electric has a storage capacity of 126 kWh and works with 400 V in the high-voltage range. Depending on the paving method, it provides sufficient power reserves for a full working day.

High Performance Meets New Technologies

With its powerful battery, the SUPER 1300-5e achieves comparable drive power and paving performance to its conventionally powered counterparts in the compact class. As a Dash 5 paver, it offers an even higher level of operating comfort, automated functions and shorter set-up times than its Dash 3 predecessor, according to Vögele. The new technologies include the ErgoPlus 5 operating concept, new assistance and automatic control systems, additional comfort features and a new lighting system.

Mini 500e, Mini 502e With Two Battery Options

Vögele also is showing the MINI 500e and MINI 502e battery-electric mini class pavers. Both models are available

now, with a choice of two different battery options: The standard option has a storage capacity of 15 kWh and delivers sufficient power for a full working day. For longer operating times, Vögele offers an alternative, 22 kWh battery option that is good for up to two days of paving without recharging.

Both battery options work with 48 V in the low voltage range. In combination with the electrically heated AB 135 extending screed, the mini pavers offer pave widths from 10 in. to 5.9 ft., which enables construction companies to complete even the smallest paving jobs with a machine.

Easy Charging, Standardized Battery Technology

Both the electric mini class pavers and the SUPER 13005e can be charged quickly and easily: The mini pavers can be connected to a household socket or a wallbox. Depending on the battery version, the charging process takes around 5 to 7 hours.

The easiest way to charge the SUPER 1300-5e is by using a wallbox or a charging station. With a charging capacity of 22 kW, charging takes about five hours, while the use of a rapid charging station can shorten this to only one hour.

As the compact pavers use the same battery and drive technologies as all other compact e-machines from the Wirtgen Group, construction companies also enjoy the added value of synergy effects resulting from common charging procedures, maintenance and service and spare and wear parts.

Iowa DOT Unveils One-Man Pothole Filling Machine

Earlier this year, the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) purchased the state’s first self-contained pothole filling truck — a more efficient and safer option for fixing potholes on state roadways.

Operated by a single individual, the Cimline Durapatcher — currently deployed in Iowa DOT’s District 4, based in

Council Bluffs and in District 1, based in Ames — this selfcontained vehicle mixes and applies emulsion in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the labor.

More importantly, it is safer than the current pothole-filling method, which requires a dump truck and a trailermounted hopper to be followed by two or three staff to spread the material with shovels and compaction tools by hand — all while exposed to traffic.

After a tragic I-80 work zone crash that killed Matt Dickerson, an Iowa DOT District 4 staff member, near Council Bluffs in 2024, the agency’s field staff and leadership have sought out safer ways to accomplish routine work like pothole patching.

“The ability to remove staff from the operation takes more employees off the road … to do different tasks for the day. It also increases safety by putting one operator in a protected truck cab that protects them,” said Cory Kirkpatrick, maintenance supervisor for Iowa DOT’s DeSoto/Perry garage, in a blog post.

“With no staff on the roadway and faster filling, this truck also reduces the disruption to the public, so we’re able to provide a higher level of service to our customers.”

The agency said the Cimline Durapatcher pothole patching machine preps and installs a patch in minutes without the need for compaction. The truck chassis houses a hopper to hold the supply of rock chips and a 300-gal. heated oil tank that together produce enough product to apply approximately 10 tons of patch material.

Inside the cab, the operator uses a joystick to control mixing and pump the oil — known as emulsion — and rock material forward to a hydraulic arm and nozzle in the front of the unit. When the Durapatcher approaches a pothole, the operator can activate a compressor to clear debris and water.

The next step is to spray the emulsion to fully coat the inside of the pothole, followed by the application of a rock and emulsion mixture.

“We’re looking for a salt and pepper look with the black emulsion oil and the light-colored rock,” said Matt Conaway of the DeSoto Maintenance garage. “Then we’re adding another layer of clean rock over the top to protect the public’s vehicles from the oil.”

As Iowa DOT’s maintenance shops continue to learn more about operating the new system, the agency said reviews of the new pothole filling machine are positive as staff find the new technology to be more streamlined than the conventional dump truck and trailer method.

Iowa DOT added that staff report that the system is “instinctive” to new operators and allows them to get closer to the pothole to see where levelling is needed to provide a better seal and more comfortable ride for the public.

Sullair Celebrates 60th Anniversary With Picnic, Art Donation

Sullair, a Hitachi Global Air Power US LLC brand, reached a major milestone — 60 years of manufacturing air compressors in Michigan City, Ind. — with a company picnic that brought together employees, their families and distinguished guests to honor the company’s legacy, people and deep roots in the community.

“This anniversary isn’t just about honoring our past — it’s a celebration of the progress we’ve made and the future we are building together,” said Hideki Fujimoto, president and CEO of Hitachi Global Air Power. “For 60 years, our air compressors — proudly assembled in Michigan City, Indiana — have earned a global reputation for reliability and durability. This legacy and milestone are a tribute to the generations of dedicated employees whose hard work, passion and commitment shaped who we are today. Our future is full of opportunity, and I’m excited for what the next 60 years will bring.”

The picnic took place at the company’s Michigan City campus and featured food, games, music and entertainment for employees and their families. The celebration wel-

comed special guests including Masashi Mizobuchi, consul-general of Japan in Chicago, and Tetsuro Mitani, executive director of the Japan Chamber of Commerce

and Industry of Chicago. Since the company’s founding in 1965, the Sullair brand and Hitachi Global Air Power continues to grow, enjoying more than $45 million in investments from Hitachi — mostly in the company’s Michigan City manufacturing facility that employs more than 500 staff regionally.

In addition to the company picnic and in honor of the company’s 60th anniversary, Hitachi Global Air Power is gifting the city of Michigan City a mural, painted by renowned artist Felix Maldonado, Jr., and organized by the Lubeznik Center for the Arts. The mural will depict imagery reflective of the region’s industrial heritage and will be painted on several cityowned retaining walls along Michigan Boulevard. The mural is expected to be completed in September 2025.

Size Your Power: What to Know Before Choosing Generators

Choosing the right generator size is essential to ensure reliability, protect your equipment and avoid unnecessary costs. Whether your genset will be used for continuous, prime or standby power, careful planning can help you avoid common pitfalls.

Here are the key factors to consider:

1. Start with the Load

The first and most critical step in sizing a generator is understanding your power requirements. Identify the loads that are essential to your operation and determine their power demands when utility power is unavailable.

Create a list of all required loads, including their voltages, to size your generator correctly. Undersizing can lead to startup failures or even damage connected equipment. Conversely, oversizing can result in inefficient operation, increased maintenance and higher repair costs due to light loading.

As businesses grow, power demands often increase. It’s common to oversize a genset by a margin to accommodate future expansion but avoid going too far — expansion plans that take too long to materialize can lead to unnecessary expenses.

2. Understand the Type of Load

Not all loads behave the same. Loads can be broadly divided into resistive and reactive (non-linear):

• Resistive loads (such as incandescent lighting or heating elements) draw the same current to start as they do to run.

• Reactive loads (such as motors, pumps and HVAC systems) require significantly more power to start, making them the biggest factor in generator sizing.

Motors and similar equipment often list

their NEMA code on data plates, which indicates their locked rotor current. Using this data helps achieve more accurate generator sizing.

To manage reactive loads effectively and avoid oversizing, consider:

• Load sequencing: Bringing loads online in stages — allowing one motor to reach full operation before starting the next — can significantly reduce the generator’s required capacity.

• Advanced starters: Using soft starters or Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) can minimize the inrush current by controlling voltage and frequency during startup, allowing for a smaller genset without sacrificing performance.

3. Match Site Requirements

Voltage and frequency stability, as well as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), must meet the needs of your specific application. Generators used for life safety, fire prevention or other critical systems have stricter regulations, often dictated by local, state and national codes. Always verify that the engine and generator are correctly sized to meet these performance standards.

4. Choose the Right Fuel

Fuel type is another important consideration for commercial and industrial generators. The three most common options are diesel, natural gas and propane, each with its own advantages:

• Diesel: On-site fuel storage, generally lower cost per kW (depending on emissions requirements), but higher fuel costs and emissions. Fuel must be delivered during extended outages.

• Natural Gas: Cleaner emissions, lower fuel costs and readily available if a gas line exists. Generators typically have a higher upfront cost, and new gas line installation may add expenses.

• Propane: On-site storage, relatively clean emissions and often lower fuel costs than diesel. Like diesel, fuel must be delivered during long outages and per kW costs tend to be higher.

Each site has unique needs, so weigh the pros and cons carefully before deciding.

Power With Confidence

The right generator sizing ensures optimal performance, protects your investment and supports future growth. For expert advice tailored to your specific application, reach out to your HIPOWER sales or support team. 

Leica DS4000 Reveals Previously Undetectable Utility Assets

Leica Geosystems announced the launch of the Leica DS4000.

This utility detection system can identify underground assets up to 60 percent deeper than traditional systems, according to Leica. By integrating IDS GeoRadar’s patented equalized scrambling technology (EsT), it detects underground utilities more clearly at both shallow and deeper levels. It even reveals smaller objects that could have been missed before, such as fiber optic cables, according to Leica.

Beneath the ground lies a tangled network of cables and pipes. As urban spaces — and the ground beneath them — grow more congested, advanced underground detection systems have become essential for reducing risk before breaking ground.

“The DS4000 helps teams work more efficiently, confidently and safely,” said Matthias Twardzik, director, Hexagon Detection of Hexagon’s Geosystems division. “With increasing emphasis on safety, tighter regulations and more complex projects, precise underground utility detection is

becoming even more critical. With the DS4000, surveyors can deliver accurate data in complex environments and construction or utilities teams can reduce risk, avoid costly setbacks during excavation and keep their timelines on track.”

Being lightweight and portable, the

DS4000 is easy and safe for a single person to transport and operate. The wheels can be quickly swapped out, enabling one user to tackle both flat surfaces and rough terrain without interruption, according to Leica.

Furthermore, the antenna, which extends below the cart, is mounted on an automatic

height-adjusting system that lowers it for detection and raises it to avoid obstacles, reducing the risk of damage.

Recent reporting indicates that instances of equipment theft are on the rise — creating new challenges on job sites and driving up costs for operators, contractors and business owners. Let’s drill down into this data to better understand why enhanced security solutions, like Bobcat’s Machine IQ and other telematics systems, are now more important than ever for machine/ fleet protection.

• $1 billion: The estimate annual loss from equipment theft on construction and farm sites.

The National Equipment Register estimates the average cost of a single instance of equipment theft is $30,000. This does not even include consideration for loss of productivity from shutdowns or delays that stem from instances of theft.

• 36 percent of construction site thefts involve wheeled and track loaders*

Equipment that is easy to move, valuable and re-sellable makes ideal targets on unsecured job sites. Wheeled and tracked loaders sometimes share universal keys or lack immobilizers, and without real-time monitoring, can go unnoticed until the crew arrives the next day.

• 21 percent of stolen construction equipment gets recovered.

Only 21 percent of stolen construction equipment gets recovered**. This means targeted operators, contractors and business owners incur additional costs as they rebuild their fleets through new investments or rental. Furthermore, stolen equipment can result in disruption to cash flow, extended

timelines and increased project budgets, and an insurance premium increase after filing a claim.

*Reported by Sirix, Construction Site Theft Statistics, 2023.**Reported by the National Equipment Register, Verisk Insurance Solutions and the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), 2016.

While there are a variety of factors that can impact the likelihood of equipment theft — such as work site location or lack of adequate surveillance — enhancing security measures and improving asset tracking may help deter potential thieves. 

Wilmington, Del., Airport’s $9.8M Upgrade Adds Gate to Attract Another Airline

Delaware’s Wilmington Airport (ILG) is currently undergoing a $9.8 million expansion to attract a third Avelo Airlines plane and expand its commercial services.

The airport, which served a record 155,881 passengers from Chester County and other nearby areas in the first half of 2025, began the work in September 2024, the Philadelphia Business Journal reported.

Although the work is progressing toward a completion at the end of this year, Houston, Texas-based Avelo, which counts the Delaware airport as one of its bases, has not yet committed to stationing another jetliner there.

The Delaware River & Bay Authority (DRBA) hopes that the new service gate being added to the terminal will encourage the airline to make it a reality.

“We just want to invest in the future and expand economic development, kind of lay the framework for possibly an additional Avelo plane,” said Jennifer Oberle-Howard, a DRBA spokesperson, in speaking with the Business Journal.

In a news release, the agency noted that besides the new service gate, the airport construction also is expanding the passenger holding room by 6,000 sq. ft. and will provide space for an additional boarding gate and more concessions.

In addition, the work will enhance the baggage claim area with the installation of a new conveyor, improve the energy efficiency and resilience of the terminal utilities and provide capacity and accessibility upgrades to all public restrooms.

A key goal of this project, though, is creating room for an additional security lane to speed the TSA screening process, including a dedicated TSA Pre-Check Lane — a first for the Wilmington Airport, according to DRBA.

Since construction began in fall of 2024, work crews have completed the airport’s restroom renovations, installed a new baggage carousel and added another parking lot with 532 spaces, bringing the total to 1,345 spots.

In describing the Wilmington Airport expansion at the addition’s groundbreaking in 2024, DRBA Executive Director Thomas J. Cook said, “this terminal project will provide greater operational and scheduling flexibility related to commercial service while also improving the overall cus-

tomer experience. Wilmington Airport is on the move and we’re looking forward to unveiling a newly expanded, transformed terminal facility.”

Federal Funding Propel Airport Project Skyward

A $5.6 million grant award through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Airport Terminal Program was secured last year to help fund the improvements.

In 2023, Delaware’s congressional delegation in Washington sent a letter of support to then-U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for DRBA’s grant application to design and construct upgrades to Wilmington’s original 1955-era passenger terminal.

The funding is being used to not only help upgrade commercial aviation service from the airport but expand accessibility and replace an outdated power infrastructure. In addition, the project is supporting approximately 60 temporary construction jobs across multiple trades and allow commercial carriers to add 100 more jobs at the facility.

“We are thrilled about the expansion of our passenger terminal at ILG Airport, a significant leap forward made possible by the dedicated efforts of our Delaware federal delegation,” said Matt Meyer, New Castle County executive. “This $9.8 million investment not only enhances our airport’s capacity but also strengthens our commitment to providing exceptional service and connectivity for our community. Together, we’re paving the way for a brighter, more accessible future in travel.”

The Delaware River and Bay Authority, a bi-state governmental agency created in 1962, owns and operates the Delaware Memorial Bridge, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry and the Forts Ferry Crossing.

It also manages two airports in New Jersey (Millville Executive Airport and Cape May Airport) and three in Delaware (Wilmington Airport, Civil Air Terminal and Delaware Airpark).

All DRBA operating revenues are generated through the bridge, ferry and airport facilities. 

Uncertainty in Supply Chain, Material Costs Is Nothing New

equipment rental and staging to subcontractor assignments and jobsite security. Here’s how to ease the headaches when supplychain issues crop up.

“What once seemed like temporary disruptions have become a persistent reality,” said attorney William Blasses about today’s construction logistics process. “Meticulous planning can be undone overnight by a single supplier’s inability to deliver.”

In this environment, said Blasses, with Kerr, Russell and Weber PLC, the standard contract is either a safeguard or a liability.

In a post on the website of the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP), he talked about logistics strategies.

It All Begins at Contract Stage

“Proactively embedding resilience into these agreements is no longer just a legal formality but a core business strategy,” he said. “By tailoring key clauses to their needs, companies can better insulate themselves from costly volatility.”

Blasses urges clients to consider the foundation of any agreement — clarity — before examining specific clauses.

Contracts riddled with ambiguous terms,

he said, are invitations for future disputes because each party will interpret subjective terms advantageously.

“A truly defensive contract systematically replaces such ambiguity with objective, measurable standards,” said Blasses. “This precision is the bedrock of an enforceable and reliable agreement.”

Setting boundaries and expectations for both parties, reinforces the business relationship and avoids the potential to deteriorate it over time, said Blasses.

Market volatility spells price fluctuations in key construction materials, cautions tax and accounting firm RSM.

Supply-chain digitalization and scenario planning are “no longer aspirational; they are essential,” said business advisors with the organization.

“Forward-thinking construction leaders are responding proactively,” said Mac Carroll, real estate industry analyst. They ask the right questions and invest in strategies that build resilience.

RSM clients’ biggest question is how to prepare for potential cost increases.

A focus on forecasting, communication and relationships will get contractors through the challenges, believes Joe Barbalaco, a

public agencies like Massport, Boston Public Works and MassDOT, all making for a well-rounded client base.

According to MacKay, a key to the company’s success has been a focus on quality service and long-term client relationships.

“We are usually not the cheapest contractor,” MacKay said. “We just give the best service and the best quality. That’s how we’ve grown.”

One of the company’s earliest turning points was a 2006 site and concrete package for Cell Signaling Technology (C.S.T.), a local cancer research firm. That job led to repeat business on a second job for C.S.T that helped the company weather the effects of the 2008–09 recession. More recent milestones include $8 million dollar jobs in Somerville and East Milton Square and a $20 million MassDOT project in Newburyport in 2021.

On the Boston College project, MacKay Construction was tasked with installing 10,000 ft. of electrical duct banks across a property that neighbors the former residence of Tom Brady and current homes of Robert Kraft and other highprofile figures.

Diversifying, Collaborating With Partners Proves Beneficial

management consulting manager. He advises clients to run a sensitivity analysis on current and upcoming projects to assess how margin would shift with changes in key material prices.

Barbalaco gives clients a list of steps they can take now:

• Ask suppliers for their forecasts on material input prices that could impact upcoming projects.

• Lock in long-term contracts with suppliers, where applicable, to purchase materials at prices that your margin can bear today.

• Diversify the procurement function through relationships and forecasting with multiple suppliers, including local and regional suppliers.

• Review inventory management strategies and revisit escalation clauses in current agreements to manage volatility and spread its impact.

• Communicate with subcontractors to understand the pressures they are facing and how they are managing them; identify hurdles you can overcome together.

• Talk to your bank to secure and protect funding capacity, such as lines of credit, to enable your firm to deal with surprises.

• Connect with your accounting firm and bonding company about the balance sheet and run best-case and worst-case scenarios to prepare for a variety of outcomes.

“Contractors should be proactive in managing price increases and communicating with owners and subcontractors,” said Barbalaco. “Uncertainty surrounding material prices and material availability is not new to contractors who survived the COVID-19 pandemic and in many cases thrived.”

The lessons learned from price escalation clauses during the pandemic have contractors reviewing, revisiting and building on those provisions, noted RSM.

David Luker, a risk consulting partner, recommends contract provisions for material price fluctuations as incentive for both project owner and contractor.

“One approach is to establish a material price escalation fund, which would release funds to contractors in documented cases of price increases,” he said.

A material price escalation fund also returns funds to the owner when prices remain stable or decline, functioning like an allowance or contingency account.

Harnessing Data for Better Business Footing

RSM advisors said clients leveraging technology to harness internal and external data are better positioned to navigate uncertainty.

They ask construction leaders to consider which projects, teams or clients are performing best, and where client organizations can create the most value.

Barbalaco believes an enterprise resource planning system and project management software that align seamlessly with business needs are essential. With the most efficient software solution, tracking inflows, outflows and true project profitability are at a construction executive’s fingertips.

“The right solution depends on your firm’s size and complexity; however, the key is to maximize the value of whatever system you choose,” said Barbalaco.

“Equally important is having strong data governance in place to ensure that data is accurate, consistent and accessible across systems and teams,” he said. “Without a clear data governance framework, contractors risk making decisions based on incomplete or conflicting information.”

Incentivized contract provisions for material price fluctuations or a material price escalation fund is one solution when supply-chain challenges threaten a construction contract.

This can happen especially when dealing with multiple projects and external providers, added Barbalaco.

Grace Ellis, content manager of Autodesk, said the key for contractors to stay ahead of the supply chain game is to keep up with trends. Following supply-chain trends will help you identify opportunities and action steps for your teams and projects, she said in a blog post.

Start by focusing on planning with accurate forecasts, she urges Autodesk clients.

“Costs tend to fluctuate when the supply chain is tight, so it is essential to plan and forecast appropriately,” said Ellis.

Pay attention to events that may affect the supplies you need and factor those in when planning your budget and forecasts.

“It also helps to adopt solutions that make it easy to amend costs and bids,” she said.

A cloud-based platform enables all stakeholders to collaborate in real time so when prices fluctuate everyone can see changes and adjust accordingly.

Choose the right partners, advised Ellis, adding that for successful supply-chain management, multiple parties need to work well together. That includes suppliers, contractors and subs.

“For this reason, you must select the right construction partners for your project,” she said.

Evaluate potential suppliers and partners by looking at the quality of their goods or services, particularly amidst recent supply chain challenges.

“Ask for references and consider their post-sale terms,” said Ellis. And use a supplier management system to review and track vendor information.

“Some solutions allow you to input your supplier requirements and standards, so potential vendors or partners can determine if they are a good fit,” she added.

Create clear communication processes to avoid issues and ensure everyone can relay information efficiently, the content manager advised.

The specific process will depend on your project and team, said Ellis, but should include:

• Status and availability of materials. Pay attention to any goods or supplies you need for the project and where they are in the supply chain, she said. Look at the materials in the pipeline and determine whether everything is on track.

• Potential or predicted issues. Instill a forward-thinking mindset in your partners to empower them to foresee potential mishaps. “Brainstorm solutions with your vendors and contractors, then produce action steps if things go differently than planned,” she advised.

• Changes in pricing or lead times. “You will want to know about price changes and delays sooner rather than later,” said Ellis. It’s crucial to make sure these are brought to your attention ASAP, then work with stakeholders to change course when needed.

• Invest in the right tools. Autodesk preaches to clients that technology is not a magic fix for all supply-chain issues but can improve efficiency and reduce risk. “Cloud-based construction management solutions enable teams to work smarter and have a better handle on all materials needed for a project,” said Ellis.

• Better insights into supply product information and pricing. “Modern construction platforms can connect to suppliers for real-time quotes and pricing data,” she said. “In a rapidly changing environment, having updated info is critical for putting together accurate budgets, quotes and bids.”

• Improve collaboration and communication between teams. Using the right construction solution makes staying connected with your team immensely easier, believes the Autodesk content manager. With it, stakeholders can collaborate on a single platform, so supply chain updates, issues and action steps are raised and resolved quickly.

• Integrated supply chain workflows. Connected construction solutions enable the user to capture data in the field, which can then be synced with other applications. These integrations speed up admin and procurement tasks, saving time and lowering unnecessary costs, said Ellis.

• Streamlined payments and billing processes. “Connected construction also simplifies payment- and billing-related workflows,” by enabling subcontractors to digitally submit pay applications. From there the processes will route those requests to project managers for prompt approval. “Modern tools can let you and your subcontractors track payment status online, reducing the need for back-andforth conversations,” said Ellis. She believes improving supply-chain systems takes time and money, but offers an organization more transparency, tighter cost control and ultimately more work.  CEG

New Kemroc Chain Cutter Helps MacKay With Boston College Electrical Project

A close-up view of the Kemroc attachment, which, when using it, means no need to hammer or haul away oversized materials.

TECH from page 76

“We were digging in pudding stone, a soft rock that doesn’t fracture like granite or shale,” said shop manager Brian Gillis. “It breaks into powder and makes hammering extremely inefficient.”

To reduce disruption in the upscale neighborhood and avoid over-excavation, the company turned to Joe Tedesco of Gorilla Hydraulic Breakers, who proposed a solution: try the Kemroc chain cutter with no obligation beyond a onemonth rental and pick maintenance costs. If it didn’t work to MacKay’s satisfaction, the company was under no obligation to purchase.

“Joe [Tedesco] gave us the opportunity to demo the equipment without forcing a full purchase,” MacKay said. “That kind of service is rare.”

The attachment — a 36-in.-wide double drum cutter with a center chain, located between the two drums — allowed MacKay’s crews to dig clean, accurate trenches in one pass. The design of the attachment eliminates the need to move the drums from side to side while cutting. The result is a trench that is the actual width of the cutter and eliminates the wear on the excavator of moving the stick back and forth. It produces a finely ground material suitable for applications that require neatness and minimal surface disturbance. The result is the neatest trench on the planet, according to MacKay.

“It was like putting a reclaimer on the end of an excavator,” Gillis added. “It left a great finish and cut through frost without producing chunks.”

Of the 10,000 ft. installed, approximately 5,000 ft. were completed using the Kemroc. The duct banks, fully encased in concrete and rebar, were installed to spec under utility oversight.

This type of operation created a significant amount of wear on the attachment. The chain cutter’s picks (cutting teeth) were inspected daily and replaced, as needed.

“It comes with a tool kit,” Gillis said. “Swapping a pick takes about two minutes. If you stay on top of greasing and

pick maintenance, wear on the chain itself is minimal.”

Gillis added that Gorilla’s service was unmatched.

“They were instant — whether we needed to talk to someone or have a tech come out, it happened fast. It is among some of the best service we have ever received.”

Ultimately, MacKay purchased the Kemroc from Gorilla.

MacKay said the company owns a number of hydraulic hammers from different manufacturers, but going forward, he plans to transition to Gorilla products as existing hammers phase out. A 10,000-lb. Gorilla hammer with an automatic greaser also was part of the recent purchase, and it has exceeded all of the company’s expectations, he said.

MacKay first heard about Gorilla through long-time industry contacts and Jeff Masterson of Master Rents, who gave him Tedesco’s number.

“It was a call I am very pleased that we made,” he said. “Jeff [Masterson] is someone whose recommendations we take seriously; he has never steered us wrong and has been a good friend.”

Though MacKay Construction remains open to multiple brands, it prioritizes service and resale value over initial cost.

“We buy based on the relationship and the support behind the product,” MacKay said.

Today, MacKay Construction typically runs 10 to 15 jobs at any one time, including site, utility, paving and emergency maintenance for 24-hour facilities. One client estimated a million-dollar-per-hour loss if water was lost, highlighting the stakes involved.

Despite a busy workload, MacKay maintains a hands-on approach with a great team led by Kyle Annutto and support staff that works extremely hard to keep everything going around the clock.

“We’re a blue-collar company built on safety, quality and service,” he said. “We keep hitting singles, staying on base. That’s how you stay in the game.”

BOSS Celebrates 40 Years of Innovation, Releases New Products

Founded in 1985 in Iron Mountain, Mich., BOSS began with a snowplow design aimed at meeting the rigorous demands of commercial snow removal experts. Over the past 40 years, the company has consistently introduced new solutions.

Marking four decades in the snow and ice management industry, BOSS Snowplow announced the release of four new products: Cold Front technology, SL4 LED headlights, the SmartTouch+ universal controller and TEV.

“Cold Front technology, SL4 LED headlights and SmartTouch+ represent the next generation of innovation in snow and ice control, delivering smarter, more connected tools that maximize efficiency, visibility and control,” said Jody Christy, vice president of BOSS Snowplow. “By adopting this technology now, contractors and fleet managers are adding technology that builds confidence, adds efficiencies and elevates their fleet’s performance at the highest level for years to come.”

Introducing 2025-26 Product Lineup

• Cold Front technology: This electrical system simplifies snowplow and spreader wiring, streamlines vehicle integration and eliminates the traditional 13pin plug. By combining power, ground and control wires into a single connector,

Cold Front technology simplifies installation and boosts performance across select BOSS plow models, according to BOSS. Note: Cold Front technology is not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.

• SL4 LED headlights: These headlights offer brightness and visibility, featuring ClearBeam technology that provides more than 200 degrees of vision, expanding the operator’s

field of view. Integrated turn signals, parking, warning and accent lights ensure comprehensive safety and visibility from all angles, according to BOSS. Note: SL4 LED headlights are not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.

• SmartTouch+ universal controller: The SmartTouch+ controller offers instant responsiveness and universal compatibility with all BOSS Cold Front technology plows. Its modern, intuitive interface allows operators to seamlessly control plow functions and SL4 headlights, enhancing both efficiency and customization, according to BOSS. Note: SL4 LED headlights are not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.

• TEV: BOSS Snowplow’s first TripEdge V-Plow, designed to prevent damage to both the plow and vehicle when striking low profile obstacles. The design maximizes the capabilities of equipment, improving traction and maneuverability in snow and ice. TEV will be the first product that will have both the new SL4 headlights and Cold Front Technology, according to BOSS.

These products will be standard on models including the DXT, XT, TEV and Super Duty (excluding the 10-ft. HD DXT) for the 2025-26 season.

Guidelines Prevent Damage During Snow, Ice Removal

Chemical deicers and snowplows are commonly used in winter to eliminate hazardous ice and snow from parking decks and structures.

While deicers are doing their job melting away snow and ice, some may actually be corroding the parking structure’s concrete and reinforcing steel, and some snow removal techniques may actually be doing more damage than good.

Western Specialty Contractors, experts in parking garage restoration and maintenance, offer several tips to minimize unnecessary damage to parking structures during the winter months, and keep drivers safe.

Snow Removal Tips

• Clearly mark expansion joints in a way that will be visible to the equipment operator when the deck is covered with snow.

• Establish a snow removal pattern so that the plow blade approaches expansion joints, control joints and tee to tee joints at an angle no greater than 75 degrees.

• Equip snowplow blades and bucket loaders with shoes or rubber guards that prevent direct contact with the deck surface.

• Do not pile snow on the deck surface. Piles of snow can exceed the rated load capacity and cause cracking in the concrete deck surface.

Deicing/Salting Tips

Using chemical deicers to control ice and snow buildup is common. However, these chemicals can have a negative effect on concrete and reinforcing steel and should be used sparingly. There are several different types of deicers on the market that can be used, however, only those approved by the American Concrete Institute are recommended.

•Sodium Chloride — (road salt, table salt) This is the most common used salt deicer. It has little effect on concrete, but promotes corrosion in reinforcing steel and other metals. Use of this type of deicer is NOT recommended.

Western Specialty Contractors, experts in parking garage restoration and maintenance, offer several tips to minimize unnecessary damage to parking structures during the winter months, and keep drivers safe.

•Calcium Chloride — This is a major ingredient in most commercial deicers. It has little effect on concrete, but promotes corrosion in reinforcing steel and other metals. Use of this type of deicer is NOT recommended.

• Ammonium Nitrate or

Ammonium Sulfate — Use of this deicer will lead to serious concrete deterioration due to its direct chemical attack on reinforcing steel. Use of this type of deicer is NOT recommended.

• Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA)— The effects of this deicer

are similar to salt, but it requires more time to melt ice. It has no adverse effects on concrete or steel reinforcement. If a deicer is required, a CMA is recommended. It is important to minimize the amount of deicing chemical applied during the first two years of the concrete being installed. During this time, the concrete has an increased permeability which can allow the deicing chemicals to migrate into the concrete more rapidly. As concrete ages and cures, it will become less permeable and chemicals will not penetrate as easily.

It is important to remember that the use of deicing chemicals in general are not recommended. The safest way to remove ice and snow is to use a plow. Sand also can be used to increase tire traction on the deck, but be sure to protect the drainage system when washing down the deck after its use.

Nine New Franchise Locations Accelerate PIRTEK USA’s 2025

Continued Q2 Growth

PIRTEK USA continued its growth in the second quarter of 2025, marking another milestone in its franchise development journey.

The company announced the opening of nine new locations and the signing of 10 new units, further expanding its footprint to meet the rising demand for premium hydraulic and industrial hose services across the United States.

This quarter, PIRTEK’s nine new locations saw the company expand its presence in Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Texas and South Carolina, as well as its first-ever location in Delaware. The franchise agreements for 10 units bring eight new owners to its growing franchisee network. This expansion includes three new units in Ohio, underscoring the brand’s commitment to strategic growth in high-potential regions.

“Our Q2 performance reflects the strength of our brand and the unwavering demand for fast, reliable hydraulic and industrial hose solutions,” said Kim Gubera, CEO of PIRTEK USA. “We are proud to welcome new franchisees and expand into new markets, including our first location in Delaware. Our commitment to exceptional service and franchisee support remains at the heart of our continued success.”

In addition to its franchise growth, the company continues to champion military veterans. One of the new franchisees signed this quarter is a Navy veteran, Allen Wix, who will own and operate PIRTEK North Charleston in Charleston, S.C. This reinforces PIRTEK’s dedication to supporting veterans in entrepreneurship.

“As a Navy veteran, I’ve always been drawn to structured systems and mission-focused work, and PIRTEK immediately stood out as a natural fit,” said Wix. “With my background in B2B marketing and leadership, I recognized the essential value this service brings to the industries that keep our country running. I’m proud to bring PIRTEK to Charleston and join a franchise system that truly supports its owners and the communities they serve.”

PIRTEK prides itself on quickly and efficiently filling customers’ hose service needs, having the widest variety of superior products and parts to keep essential projects running. Their quick turnaround time also is credited to the one hour ETA on-site emergency hose service offered 24/7/365. This service enables customers to be up and running again quickly, minimizing equipment downtime due to a hose failure.

PIRTEK onboards potential franchisees who prioritize customer service, and welcomes driven individuals from all industries, regardless of technical experience. The initial investment ranges from $235,137 to $666,638. Franchisees can expect extensive in-person and online training, ongoing support and exclusive territories.

RB Global Announces Leadership Changes, Appointments

RB Global Inc. announced leadership changes and senior management appointments, effective Sep. 1, 2025, to position the company for accelerated and consistent growth.

“Since becoming CEO, I’ve been laserfocused on setting the right foundation for our growth for another 50-plus years,” said Jim Kessler, chief executive officer of RB Global. “With this go-forward structure, our teams are set up to focus on big-picture strategy and efficiency, while also strengthening how we can deliver on our commitments to each marketplace’s unique needs. We’re making it even easier for our partners to do business with us, helping them succeed and setting ourselves up for strong, sustainable growth.”

RB Global’s senior leadership teams will provide strategic oversight, efficient scaling and promote best practice with functional support teams at the enterprise level, while two specialized, high-performing marketplace execution teams spearhead the go-tomarket level. Keeping its go-to-market leadership close to customers and the verticals they operate in helps to maximize the speed and efficiency with which buyers and sellers can do business on the company’s platforms, add value for its partners and position the company for a strong future, according to RB Global.

Specialized Marketplace Leadership Teams

Carmen Thiede, chief transformation officer and chief of staff to the CEO, will begin her transition into retirement, following two years of focus on critical integration work to help unlock the full value of the Ritchie Bros. and IAA businesses under RB Global. During this transition, Thiede will serve as a coach and advisor to the go-to-market lead-

ers, using her expertise to help ensure a smooth handoff and continued momentum.

Under the new operating model, each marketplace will leverage the unified executive leadership team to set enterprise-wide vision, growth strategy and operational discipline, while empowering brand-specific go-to-market teams to drive execution tailored to their unique marketplaces. The goto-market sales leaders — both of whom have been instrumental in driving performance alongside prior leadership — are already deeply embedded in their teams, strategies and relationships.

Their proven expertise and continuity of leadership will help to ensure a smooth transition and position the business for growth in this next chapter, as Jeff Jeter, chief revenue officer, begins his transition toward retirement and serves as a strategic advisor for the go-to-market leaders.

The Ritchie Bros. go-to-market teams will be led by Jake Lawson, president and head of Ritchie Bros. North America sales, and Shiv Dutt, who has joined RB Global as executive vice president and head of Ritchie Bros. Marketplace. As leaders of the Ritchie Bros. business, Lawson and Dutt will work closely with Steve Steinberg, senior vice president and head of strategic management and decision support, to drive gross transaction value growth within the Ritchie Bros. marketplace. Doug Rusch, executive vice president and head of strategic accounts and

rouse in North America will continue in his current role, reporting to Lawson.

IAA’s go-to-market teams will be led by Sam Wyant, executive vice president and head of IAA North America sales, and David Rymarz, who will assume an expanded role as senior vice president and head of IAA Marketplace.

“In addition to forming and deepening relationships by delivering on commitments, these teams will use data to guide decisions, make sure we’re meeting our goals, put our time and money where they’ll have the most impact and track our progress so our partners get the full value out of our new way of working,” Kessler said. “We will continue to aim to overdeliver on our commitments to our partners, and provide them with the industry-leading platform to buy and sell assets in the verticals that we operate in.”

Realignment, Centralization of Enterprise Support Functions

Randy Berry, executive vice president and head of IAA Operations, will be transitioning into retirement. Steve Lewis, chief operations officer, will take on the responsibility of overseeing IAA’s operations in addition to his current responsibilities. As part of RB Global’s commitment to operational excellence, the technology team, led by Nancy King, chief technology officer, also will now report to Lewis in his expanded role, helping

to ensure platform enhancements are tied directly to operational priorities. Karl Werner, chief business development officer, will continue in his role leading the IAA International businesses, reporting to Lewis.

As part of the new organizational structure and priorities for the company, Eric Guerin, chief financial officer, will assume an expanded role in addition to his current responsibilities, now also leading global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate development efforts, which will continue to report through Werner.

Christopher Carlson, currently senior vice president, global controller, will become chief accounting officer, and Darren Watt, chief legal officer, will report to Guerin, helping to strengthen the connection between financial oversight and legal and regulatory compliance, including the environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting team.

Drew Fesler, chief people officer, will be transitioning into retirement. Jen Schmit, currently executive vice president, global HR, will step into the role chief people officer and lead the company’s global talent strategies following Fesler’s transition.

“We’re evolving our already strong leadership position to emphasize sharper focus, faster decision-making and stronger collaboration,” Kessler said. “We’re grateful to the leaders who are retiring for their many contributions in building the foundation we stand on today. Going forward, our next generation of leaders knows exactly what to focus on, how their strategies will drive consistent growth and how to guide their teams to move with speed and unity — delivering greater impact for our partners and for the future of RB Global.”

ConExpo-Con/AGG Preps for 2026 Event to Extend Lineage

As ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026 nears, the construction industry’s premier event celebrates its rich lineage — 117 years in the making and North America’s unmatched platform for construction innovation.

From humble beginnings in 1909, when the original Road Show in Columbus, Ohio hosted 40 equipment manufacturers in a 40,000-sq.-ft. space, to today’s 2.9 million-sq.-ft., 2,000 exhibitor event, ConExpo-Con/AGG’s evolution embodies the exponential growth of the construction industry.

Milestones in Storied Past

• 1909 — The inaugural Road Show, Columbus, Ohio, spotlighted machinery

soon dubbed “hazardous equipment” over 40,000 sq. ft.

• 1928 — Detroit hosted the Combined Biennial Show, later known as the Concrete & Aggregates Show.

• 1963 — The Columbus Road Show rebranded to the Construction Equipment Exposition & Road Show.

• 1969 — “ConExpo” emerges as the new moniker for the event.

• 1996 — ConExpo and Con/Agg formally unite under the ConExpo-Con/AGG banner in Las Vegas, transitioning to a triennial frequency.

• 2005 — AEM assumes sole responsibility for managing the show; in 2018, it secures operation rights through 2040.

Record-Breaking Scale, Reach

1996 vs. 2023: Exhibitors rose from 800 to 2,056; exhibit space ballooned from 1 million to 2.83 million sq. ft.; attendees jumped from 84,000 to 139,110.

In 2023, ConExpo attracted ~139,000 visitors — including 24,000 international attendees from 133 countries — with exhibitors representing 36 nations.

Forging the Future — ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026

Set for March 3–7, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Las Vegas Festival Grounds, the next edition continues the tradition of excellence with:

• 2,000 exhibitor brands;

• 2.9 million sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor displays;

• 150 educational sessions spanning technology, sustainability and industry best practices;

• new ground breakers stage; and

• new workshops: small business, EmpowerHER, shop talks and walks, “A century of progress is reflected in ConExpo-Con/AGG’s scale, scope and spirit,” said Dana Wuesthoff, ConExpoCon/AGG show director. “This event continues to elevate the equipment manufacturing industry — amplifying innovation, insight and influence.” 

Apex Abatement and Demolition Releases Instant Budget Calculator

Apex Abatement and Demolition LLC announced the release of an AI-powered instant demolition budget calculator.

The free online tool provides fast, rough cost estimates for commercial and residential demolition projects, helping contractors, property owners and developers plan more efficiently.

The calculator uses artificial intelligence to generate a budget based on pictures, project size, structure type and other basic inputs. While the tool does not replace a formal estimate, it offers valuable insight into project costs at the planning stage, saving time and reducing guesswork.

“We built this tool because clients often ask us for quick ballpark numbers,” said Robert Sullivan, owner of Apex Abatement and Demolition LLC. “With this calculator, they don’t have to wait for a call back — they can explore costs right away, then follow up for a formal quote.”

The Instant Demolition Budget Calculator is accessible now at apexabatement.-com/instant-demolition-budget-calculator.
