Costs to Replace Tennessee’s Chickamauga Lock Have Tripled A project to build a larger replacement lock at the Chickamauga Dam, first envisioned almost two decades ago, was projected at the time to cost less than $300 million and provide a quicker and more reliable water passageway on the Tennessee River near Chattanooga by 2020. But with congressional funding delays, pandemic-related problems with supplies and labor, and “concrete growth” in the existing lock chamber, the expense of one of Chattanooga’s costliest building projects has jumped more than threefold and been delayed by nearly a decade from the original projections. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported April 29 that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) told the Inland Waterways User Board (IWUB) earlier in the month that it estimates the total cost of replacing Chickamauga Lock has swelled to $954.4 million, up from the previous estimate of $757 million. Although the USACE earlier said the project was fully funded, completing the new lock is now projected to need more money in future years from the Inland Waterways Trust Fund (IWTF), which pays for all lock and dam projects in the United States. In a presentation to the IWUB meeting on April 13 in Pittsburgh, Pa., Kevin Jasper, the project manager of the new Chickamauga Lock, explained that the construction of the replacement lock “is significantly behind” the original projected completion in November, and efforts to speed the work have been unsuccessful. Oakland, Calif.-based Shimmick Construction is the prime contractor to build the new 110-ft.-by-600-ft. lock chamber on the Tennessee River below the Chickamauga Dam. The new and bigger lock will replace the smaller lock that was built when the dam was first completed in 1940. When finished, the replacement lock will be able to handle nine times as many barges at one time to help speed river shipments in the region. But Shimmick officials said the cost of their original $240 million project should be increased and more time given for completion due to delays and costs caused by COVID-19, material inflation, tight labor markets and supply delivery challenges. Last year, the contractor requested an added $96.3 million and 590 days to complete its work, according to Stephanie Hall, deputy district engineer for the USACE’s Nashville engineering district. “The increased cost for the project is a combination of several factors to include recent project delays, changes in site conditions, design enhancements, and the overall inflation factor associated with labor and

material in today’s economy,” noted Jasper, the interim project office chief of USACE’s Nashville District, in a statement. He added that Shimmick expects to complete its work in August 2025, and the USACE projects the overall project will be completed in either 2028 or 2029. “An additional $237 million is required to fully fund the project,” Jasper told the IWUB. “Current market conditions, extended project duration and increased inflationary rates will have impacts on required cost to complete the project.” Although work continues on the lock project, the USACE decided against distributing any new funds for more building contracts in the current fiscal year while it reassessed its cost and completion schedule, the Chattanooga news source noted. Earlier this year, Jasper, in a statement, assured those using the Chickamauga Lock, “The lack of funding this year will not impact ongoing work on the replacement lock.” Replacement to Overcome ‘Poor Geology’ According to the Times Free Press, he noted the new lock is required due to problems with “concrete growth” in the current 83-year-old lock, “which threatens the stability and operability of the existing lock.” The upstream approach wall above the dam, originally planned to be completed by May 2024, is only 12 percent completed. “Poor geology” has required revisions to planned foundation elevations, and the contractor has submitted a cost adjustment for redesign of the drill shafts. To build the new replacement lock,

Shimmick is excavating 9,900 cu. yds. of rock, demolishing approximately 3,600 cu. yds. of existing reinforced concrete spillway, and installing 43 reinforced concrete drilled shafts, the Times Free Press reported. The project also includes the construction of a new operations building and gate control shelters, the installation of electrical and mechanical systems to support the lock and operations building, and the operation and maintenance of the automated instrumentation system and dry commissioning of the lock. The conveyor system Shimmick developed delivers concrete overland and over the existing lock to prevent any disruptions to lock operations. “We are exceptionally proud to work on this important project for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — a project that will benefit the region now and for years to come — and are dedicated to delivering quality work that aligns with our commitment to providing the absolute best service and support to the communities we serve,” Shimmick spokeswoman Clara Marshall said in a statement. Better Lock Means More Efficient River Transport The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which was created in 1933 to harness the power and navigation of the Tennessee River, originally built the Chickamauga Dam and Lock using nearby rock aggregate that has since developed some structural problems. The Chickamauga Dam remains a TVA project, but the Chickamauga Lock is maintained and operated by the USACE and is

funded with both congressional appropriations and the proceeds from diesel taxes paid by river barges on America’s inland waterways. About 1 million tons of freight a year is moved through the gateway, and the new lock is projected to reduce commercial transit times by 80 percent, according to the USACE. The Chickamauga Lock also is the most active lock on the Tennessee River for recreational vessels, with more than 3,500 boat lockages each year. Cline Jones, the executive director of the Tennessee River Valley Association, said the barge industry was “surprised” by the size of the cost increases for the Chickamauga Lock replacement. But Jones, who has advocated for the new lock for more than a decade, insists the investment will pay off. “This is certainly a worthwhile project with over 319 miles of navigable river above the Chick Lock, including major facilities in Oak Ridge and nuclear plants at Sequoyah and Watts Bar that depend upon the river,” Jones said in an April 27 phone interview with the Chattanooga newspaper. “Some products can only be moved by water, and they can’t be shipped by rail or highway. This is still very important to this region and to the country.” He added that a bigger lock will help accommodate more and faster shipments of goods on the important Tennessee River inland waterway, one of the most efficient means of transporting heavy commodities and equipment in the country. The USACE projects the lock helps keep up to 150,000 trucks off nearby Interstate 75 and lowers the transportation costs for many regional companies. 

One of the University of South Florida’s (USF) most iconic structures is undergoing a much-needed renovation. To extend its lifespan, the 26-year-old water tower on the Tampa campus is being repaired and will soon be painted with a yet-to-be-revealed design. The tower has not been painted in more than a decade or received any significant construction improvements since that time, according to the university’s newsroom on April 14. The 212-ft. tower pressurizes and supplies drinking water to most buildings on the USF campus. Its revitalization is one of the most publicly recognizable projects being funded by an investment of nearly $73 million in the 2022 state budget to support USF’s Capital Renewal Program, which addresses a part of the school’s deferred maintenance needs. USF’s Office of Administrative Services, which oversees facilities management, used an inclusive process that involved input from officials at each of the college’s three campuses — USF Tampa, USF St. Petersburg and USF Sarasota-Manatee — to identify 87 critical projects. Most pertain to utility and plant operations, such as electrical, fire alarm and HVAC systems, as well as roof repair and replacement. USF Facilities Management recently unveiled an interactive map, allowing students, faculty and staff to view the location of each project and track its status. It can be found online at usf.edu/administrative-services/facilities/facilitiesinformation-services/maps.aspx. “The 87 projects on this list represent the greatest needs of our aged and/or failed infrastructure across the three USF campuses,” explained Scot Berrian, assistant director of Design and Construction, Office of Administrative Services. For instance, approximately 40 percent of the roofs on the Tampa campus are at or beyond the recommended age for replacement, USF noted. “What the USF community is not always aware of are the critical infrastructure and utility systems that support the entire campus,” added Hari Patel, director of Facilities Information Services. “More than half of this funding is going to projects that support utility infrastructure or multiple facilities. We wanted to bring transparency and awareness to the USF community about these projects and the areas they will impact.” Heat, ventilation and air conditioning needs also are being addressed with the replacement of 12 HVAC systems, although most of the work will not begin until early next year. The one in greatest need of attention belongs to the John and Grace Allen Building, the first building to be constructed when the university was established in 1956. While repairs have been made over the years, the roof has never been replaced and is long past its expiration. “I love the Allen Building and the beautiful courtyard,” said Risa Blake, administrative specialist in the Student Ombuds Office. “I’ve worked in the building since 2010. Sometimes it’s extremely cold in the office and other times it’s uncomfortably humid. We are really looking forward to the improvements.” see USF page 86

The equipment manufacturing industry is still recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic nearly three years after its onset. With that fact firmly in mind, AEM regularly surveys its members regarding their thoughts on various economic trends and how they are affecting their efforts to do business, both within the United States and abroad. In the latest survey, most respondents stated that they are still experiencing supply chain issues, with many saying that conditions continue to worsen. “Nearly all respondents still face supply chain issues with more than half experiencing continuously worsening supply chain conditions,” said Kip Eideberg, senior vice president Government and Industry Relations at AEM during the association’s recently held quarterly Equipment Market Outlook Webinar. “The two driving factors that we hear are the current supply chain disruptions and the workforce shortages.” The information obtained through the association’s surveys is just some of what is detailed in AEM’s Business Intelligence Dashboard and then later summarized in AEM’s quarterly Equipment Market Outlook Webinars. The ongoing challenges of high interest rates, as well as energy and material prices, have plagued the construction industry, but hope is on the horizon for these issues, as well as others, to eventually be resolved. So, with that in mind, let’s look at some of the driving forces and key points from AEM’s Q1 webinar regarding what equipment manufacturers in the construction industry will be facing for the remainder of this year, according to presenter Danny Richards, lead economist, construction, at Global Data. • Global construction output growth slowed in 2022 and is to remain sluggish in 2023. Interest rates remain high and could rise further in the first half of this year before central banks bring to an end this tightening cycle, assuming of course that inflation starts to fall. Energy and construction material prices also remain high. • Investment in infrastructure, as well as in energy and utilities, will be driving forces for growth. Investment in infrastructure will continue to be a driving force for growth, especially as the Investment Infrastructure and Jobs Act in the United States gathers momentum. Energy and utilities also will provide a boost to overall construction activity, with renewable energy projects remaining a key investment focus. • The industry is optimistic as it tracks $3.6 billion in projects across multiple sectors. Despite a relatively weak short-term outlook for construction output, there is still a sizeable pipeline of opportunities on the horizon over the next several years. • The decline in construction output is expected to slow in 2023. The United State was one of the few markets to register positive growth in 2020 and 2021. However, driven largely by intense inflationary pressure and a slowing residential sector, output dropped sharply in 2022. The data shows AEM CE indexes are in line with the average indexes. And, despite supply chain and workforce retention issues, many equipment manufacturers are hopeful for eventual resolutions to these ongoing issues plaguing the industry. 

Rated an EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with peak winds of 165 mph, the twister uprooted or snapped hundreds, if not thousands, of trees at Burns Park, both north and south of Interstate 40.

Debris Clearing Continues After Tornado in North Little Rock Crews in North Little Rock, Ark., cleared enough debris in Burns Park to open the city’s youth baseball fields in late April, but most of the park — one of the largest municipal outdoor recreation areas in the nation — remains closed to the public in the aftermath of the March 31 tornado that swept through parts of central Arkansas. Rated an EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with peak winds of 165 mph, the twister “uprooted or snapped hundreds, if not thousands, of trees at Burns Park, both north and south of Interstate 40,” the National Weather Service (NWS) said in a report, before adding, “The tornado crossed I-40 just west of exit 150, passing over ball fields and recreation areas [Burns Park] west of Military Drive. A new fire station still under construction was also damaged along Military Drive.” On Facebook, people near and far commiserated over the destruction of the many trees that stood in the 1,700-acre park. “I grew up at that park in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s,” wrote Timothy Wilson. “It’s so dear to my heart. I’ll be coming home from Los Angeles to volunteer and help clean up.” Susan Devries also posted: “We were there just yesterday [April 10] at the NLR Animal Shelter picking up a newly adopted beautiful dog. The devastated trees [are] just heartbreaking.” In the hours after the storm passed, professional cleanup crews using skid steers, excavators and haul trucks began their efforts in Burns Park, according to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. The result is that only one month later, the youth baseball fields were accessible by entering Joe K. Poch Drive, the only way right now for people to come in or out of that area of the park. But Funland Drive, and all the softball, soccer and high

school baseball fields, along with a section of the Arkansas River Trail, will remain closed until further notice by North Little Rock Parks and Recreation. The Democrat Gazette also noted May 1 that the Burns Park hospitality center is open to the public for debris drop off, which will be temporarily moved to the soccer and softball fields. Five security checkpoints are set up around the park through Elite Protection Group to stop people from entering blocked roads. Maps are posted around biking and running trails to let anyone who does enter the park know what is offlimits. Luckily, only four out of 27 tennis courts at the park were damaged by the tornado, explained NLR Parks and Recreation Director Steve Shields. The Arkansas Tennis Association has opened the unaffected courts, including the indoor tournament building, which now has power, he added. On April 26, Shields also reopened the dog park next to the tennis center. Because a “mammoth amount” of construction debris has taken over the softball complex’s parking lot, he noted, an upcoming tournament in June will likely not happen. One of the largest features of the park that was not affected as heavily by the storm was the Burns Park golf course. Park officials said the pro shop is open and the course’s 18 holes were ready for golfers in late April. Contractors Crunch Fallen Trees, Dodge Floodwaters CrowderGulf Disaster Recovery & Debris Management, along with Hauling Away Disaster Debris Removal, both based in the Mobile, Ala. area, have each been contracted to work daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to collect and grind the tons

of broken trees at Burns Park, Shields said. First, they collect fallen trees to be chopped up and put through a grinder. Then, the mulch is piled high for 18wheelers to transport to landfills. Unfortunately, the weight of the heavily laden trucks has demolished large sections of the park’s roads, making it unsafe for other drivers. Repairing those stretches of road will happen after the cleanup is complete. Terrain with fewer hills in the park allows for faster clearing, the parks department told the Little Rock newspaper, but the cleanup teams have yet to tackle the larger challenges. Jason Rhodes, North Little Rock’s parks superintendent, said there is no way to know just when the park will be fully cleared, due to the “magnitude of trees.” Additionally, recent rain and storms have delayed progress on the work and caused excavators to be stuck in the mud. “There’s a lot of places we won’t be able to get to until it dries back out,” he told the Democrat Gazette. Another area of concern for Shields and Rhodes is the park’s kayak launch along the river, which is currently full of fallen trees and needs to be cleared as soon as possible. If it rains again soon and the Arkansas River rises, it could push the dock away from where it is attached to the shore. And if that were not enough, a 6-in. water main burst from a tree when it was uprooted during the tornado near the RV Park, causing more flooding and delays. “[Mayor Terry Hartwick’s] first concern, obviously, is the [city’s] streets and he made that known from day one, [and this park] is obviously secondary,” Shields said. “But we’re trying to open up as much as we can, [and] as soon as we can from a safety standpoint. “It’s like Mayor [Hartwick] has said, these kids have to have something to look forward to. That’s why we were able to [get] youth baseball and tennis [going again].” 

Northern Alabama Branch in Decatur

emphis-based Heavy Machines LLC recently held a grand opening for its newest location in the northern Alabama city of Decatur. The company’s eighth location in the Southeast, the Decatur branch joins long-established facilities in Mobile and Birmingham in the state that service Heavy Machines customers from the Gulf of Mexico north into Tennessee. The company has 10 total locations. From its address at 314 Beltline Road NW in Decatur, Heavy Machines carries Link-Belt, Liebherr, Yanmar, ASV, Dynapac, DEVELON (formerly Doosan) and many other brands. Prior to opening the new 5-acre Decatur store (including its yard and an adjacent lot), Heavy Machines had been servicing customers in the northern Alabama market from its Birmingham store, said Karen Follmann, assistant branch manager of the dealership. But because the central Alabama branch was a 90-minute-to-two-hour drive south of the Decatur area, Heavy Machines recognized that a new location in the state’s northern reaches would make things faster and more convenient for its customers. In terms of its service capabilities, the dealership features two drive-thru service bays that can take care of four large machines and approximately eight compact machines at a time, Follmann said. “Our parts availability and supply are well stocked, too, in our dedicated parts area,” she added. “We keep all pertinent filters and everyday use items in stock. Plus, we can get specialty parts the next day from the different OEMs.” Follmann said that Heavy Machines, which had spent several months setting up the Decatur branch, has so far been pleased with the reaction it has received from customers in the market. “Our customers are very happy we are here,” she said. “It cuts down on their travel time and down time because we do offer the parts locally. They do not have to have our service techs drive two hours or worry about all the extra expense and mileage to get what they need.” Heavy Machines has two service technicians working in Decatur currently, with plans to soon add a third, she said. Additionally, there are a pair of parts professionals on site. The company’s salesperson in the northern Alabama market is Vaden Mills.

segments of our business are performing well, and we are achieving growth both organically and through our accretive acquisitions. “Total revenues for the year increased 29.6 percent, or $359.0 million. Organic revenue growth for the year was $193.9 million, or 16.1 percent, when compared to last year. Importantly, this figure was driven by a 13.6 percent organic increase in our combined parts and service product support departments and a 10.3 percent organic gain in rental revenues when compared to 2021. Including revenues of $174.9 million from our 2021 and 2022 acquisitions, we achieved record total revenues of $1,571.8 million for 2022. “Given our diverse end-user market exposure and active M&A pipeline, we believe we are well positioned to achieve further growth in 2023. Demand in our Material Handling and Construction Equipment segments continue to be solid and will further benefit from infrastructure and other governmental legislation. As an example, our Florida operations are performing very well amidst the continued growth in nonresidential construction projects and significant state spending on highways. “We also continue to build our high-margin product support capabilities, which generates predictable, high-margin parts and service revenues. At year end, we had 1,150 highly skilled service technicians. Additionally, our warehouse systems-integration business continues to perform well, and we expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future as customers embrace robotics and automation. We are also very encouraged with our opportunities with Ecoverse as the market for environmental processing equipment is in its early stages of development in North America. Ecoverse will benefit from stricter federal and state environmental regulations which we expect will put an impetus on increased recycling and reuse of materials throughout both the U.S. and Canada.” For more information, visit www.altaequipment.com. 

Volvo Construction Equipment Shows Off Its New Electric

Steve Brown (L) and Rob Tavenner (R), both of Ascendum, welcome (L-R) Scott Bennis, Erica Sanchez and Dale Long, all of CRH Harrison.

Teresa and Rick Watson of Target Contracting in Swannanoa, N.C., have purchased 13 Volvo machines through the years and were eager to test out the new Volvo electric excavators and wheel loaders.

Ascendum Machinery welcomed many of its customers and area contractors to test out the new Volvo electric excavators and wheel loaders.

Karla Furnari of Blue Ridge Power operates the all-electric Volvo L25 wheel loader. She commented on how quiet the machine is and how it performed the same as the diesel version.

On hand for guests to look over and operate was the 100-percent electric Bergmann Americas C804, which is a 3.5-ton machine featuring a swiveling operators station with full controls that enables full control either direction. No more looking over your shoulder all day long.

olvo Construction Equipment held its latest Electric Demo Day event on May 5, 2023, at the Mills River, N.C., branch of Ascendum Machinery, just outside Asheville, where the manufacturer showcased its new L25 electric compact loader and ECR25 electric compact excavator to an audience of curious contractors and operators. Volvo’s Nick Tullo, head of new business development for the equipment maker, was on hand to answer questions about the latest electric models, which promise significant benefits for their users and the environment, such as zero exhaust emissions from use, significantly lower noise levels, reduced energy costs and premium warranty coverage. The new products’ benefits to the planet and its changing climate are paramount to Volvo, Tullo said. “For now, the main point is that they produce zero emissions and are completely diesel free, fume free and silent,” he said. “I would say it is definitely a change from what we are seeing in the industry. Volvo has launched five electric models in total, and we are the first manufacturer to come to market with these commercially available products. We now offer two compact loaders and three compact excavators.” Tullo added that the new Volvo electrics have been designed and built by their engineers to be familiar for owners of the diesel equivalent models, meaning the electric models’ power, weight and breakout forces are all like diesel machines. “That also means that the parts commonality on the electric models is also very close to the diesels too — about 80 percent alike,” he said. Volvo has partnered with Portable Electric, a Canadian maker of clean energy portable electric generators, to offer its Voltstack Mobile EV Charger trailers for boosting the compact excavators and loaders when they are on remote job sites. “Voltstack has proven itself to be the best solution for keeping our machines charged and ready to work,” said Tullo. “It’s an 80 kWh zero emission energy storage unit on a trailer weighing about 8,800 lbs. You can bring it out to a remote site to charge our excavators four times off one trailer charge, and twice for the compact loaders. With a fully charged Voltstack mobile unit, a contractor can use it as the project’s power bank while on site for a couple of days, and they can then tow it back to their shop and it’ll charge in about 12 hours on a level 2, 240V 40A circuit — even faster at around 3.5 hours if they have access to a 120/208VAC 80A 5-wire camlock.” He added there are different charging options for the electric machines because they come standard with the common 120V 3-prong outlet or 240V 4-prong NEMA 14-50 plug configuration. “Both plug types are so common that you’ll find them in most commercial buildings or other portable power solutions,” Tullo said. “For a true zero emission remote charging solution, this Voltstack trailer is a great way to go.”  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2023 Construction Equipment Guide.

Compacts During Demo Day at Ascendum’s Asheville Branch

(L-R): A few of the many dedicated Ascendum employees who worked hard to put on a successful event were Kristin Parker, Janet Howard, Brandon Drake, Cory Penland and Mark Davis. Kilian Hammerbeck (L) of Hoopers Creek Stone in Asheville holds the key to his latest Volvo machine purchase. With him are Grant Adams (C), president of Ascendum, and Stephen Roy, president of Volvo CE, North America.

(L-R): Looking over and getting ready to operate the Volvo ECR25 electric excavator are Ted Hitchcock, David Saltado and Noah Haney, all of Moore & Sons in Mills River, N.C. After operating the machine, they said it looks, feels and operates like a traditional diesel-powered machine, only quieter.

While operating the new Volvo ECR 25 Volvo electric excavator, this operator said it allows easy conversation while working in tight spots.

In addition to electric machines, Ascendum had Volvo diesel-powered excavators and Bergmann Americas trucks on hand for its customers to look over and operate.

The electric Volvo wheel loader feeds the 100-percent electric Bergmann Americas C804 truck.

Lindsey Glover tests the Volvo all-electric ECR25 excavator. Others around the machine said how quiet the machine is when digging.

Patrick McKenna (L) and his son, PJ McKenna, both help area contractors with their parts needs.

Volvo Opens Pre-Order Tool for Electric Asphalt Compactor Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) announced at ConExpoCon/AGG that North American customers can now reserve the new DD25 Electric asphalt compactor online. Deliveries are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2024. The pre-order system for the electric machines allows interested buyers to enjoy the convenience of an e-commerce tool while still getting customer support from their local Volvo CE dealer. The Volvo DD25 Electric made its debut at the Las Vegas trade show and was a popular product among attendees. Roadbuilders were interested in how the machine could benefit their fleets, as were officials from government departments. “It’s exciting to finally get to show off this new development in our electrification efforts,” said Justin Zupanc, head of asphalt compaction development. “We’re proud to offer our customers tangible solutions for reducing their carbon footprint, and we’re thrilled to launch our first zero-emission machine for the road segment.” The addition of the DD25 Electric asphalt compactor brings the Volvo CE electric lineup to six commercially available machines, with a mid-size excavator and mid-size wheel loader in the works. Looking Under the Hood The electric driveline of the DD25 Electric asphalt compactor is based on the same proven architecture and components found on the Volvo CE ECR25 Electric compact excavator and L25 Electric compact wheel loader, which have been successful in a variety of different applications and markets over the past few years. Its zero-emission operation makes the DD25 Electric asphalt compactor ideal for sensitive or urban environments with strict emission regulations and for organizations that are looking to meet their own sustainability goals. Zero tailpipe emissions also mean a cleaner and more enjoyable work environment for operators, site teams and passers-by. If used alongside other electric powered equipment, the DD25 Electric offers the possibility of a zero-emission job

The addition of the DD25 Electric asphalt compactor brings the Volvo CE electric lineup to six commercially available machines, with a mid-size excavator and mid-size wheel loader in the works.

site, the manufacturer said. The DD25 Electric asphalt compactor is expected to operate for a full shift on a single charge (depending upon the type of job and intensity of the work cycle) using the same charging solutions as its forerunners, which allows customers to choose the right charger for their operation. The machine comes with an integrated on-board charger that enables charging from zero to 100 percent in as little as three hours, depending on AC power level. With an optional offboard DC fast charger, this can be achieved in just over an hour. The double-drum DD25 Electric asphalt compactor offers

24 kW of available power, which is 30 percent more than the conventional Volvo DD25B compactor. The result is a more responsive machine in terms of speed and vibrations. It also performs better on grade due to the size of its components and better at high elevations when compared to a diesel machine, which loses power as you increase altitude, the manufacturer said. Pre-orders opened in North America first and will expand to other regions in the future. Those who would like to reserve a DD25 Electric asphalt compactor may visit volvoce.com/united-states/en-us/products/electricmachines/reservation/. 

Calder Brothers Receives Work-Based Learning Business Partner Award

(L-R) are David Calder, vice president design engineering, Calder Brothers; Jonn Harris, senior plant manager, Calder Brothers; Glen Calder, vice president operations, Calder Brothers; and Brad Dill, director of J Harley Bonds Career Center.

Calder Brothers Corporation has received the “Work-Based Learning Business Partner of the Year” from the Greenville County School system, in South Carolina. For the past year, Calder Brothers participated in the Work Based Learning program, where students apply skills learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios. Jonn Harris, senior plant manager at Calder Brothers Corporation, helped implement the Work Based program into Calder Brother’s Taylors, S.C., facility. “Initially, the work-based educational program through Greenville County was seen as another recruitment tool to find quality workers to fill our growing need for skilled employees — welders, machinists, painters, etc. — As the relationship has developed, we have embraced a much bigger role of mentoring young people as they develop a career in their chosen path. “Mentoring students from work-based education programs have helped attract, motivate and develop employees for Calder Brothers Corporation. Businesses implement mentoring programs to increase productivity, and therefore revenues. However, when we implement our mentoring programs, the sharing of knowledge has become an inherent quality, and the result is an increase in student learning. “Naturally, we would like to see our work-based students build a long career with us. However, all of us at Calder Brothers view this as our obligation and opportunity to give back to the community by helping these young people find their way in life.” 

GOMACO Names Scott Pedersen New Vice President of Engineering/Research Scott Pedersen has been named GOMACO’s new vice president of engineering/research and development (R&D). The appointment was made by Grant Godbersen, GOMACO’s vice president of manufacturing. He replaces Kevin Klein who recently retired. Pedersen has been with GOMACO since 1995 when he joined the R&D department as a drafter. He was promoted to R&D manager in 2009. He replaces Klein who has retired after 39 years of service to GOMACO, serving as a vice president for the company the past 16 years. Under Klein’s leadership, GOMACO saw the advent of new models of curb and gutter machines, including the GT-3600 capable of pouring a 2 ft. radius, and slipform pavers like the GHP-2800 with dual-telescoping abilities, along with several other models in the company’s full line of concrete paving equipment. He oversaw the evolution of the GOMACO machine control system and the advent of G+ controls, GOMACO’s own industry-leading and proprietary control system. The advancement of the control system also helped make stringless paving possible. Klein and GOMACO worked closely with Leica and

Topcon to help develop, test and prove stringless paving systems for slipform paving and curb and gutter applications. “With heartfelt admiration and appreciation, I would like to say thank you to Kevin for all his hard work, leadership, and dedication to GOMACO and our customers,” Kent Godbersen, GOMACO’s vice president of worldwide sales and marketing, said. “Kevin was always the go-to person when sales needed assistance in taking care of customers. His professionalism and positive attitude will certainly be missed.” “Scott, as our R&D manager, is the natural replacement for Kevin,” Grant Godbersen said. “He has worked closely with Kevin and managed the projects and personnel of the department and the R&D shop for the past 14 years. He’s traveled extensively for GOMACO, meeting with our customers at trade shows and on their job sites to test new machine ideas and concepts and discuss their equipment needs face to face. His professionalism and knowledge of the full line of GOMACO concrete paving equipment will be a great asset in his new position.” For more information, visit www.gomaco.com. 

Benefits of Ground Penetrating Radar While coring is destructive, ground penetrating radar is a non-destructive method for analyzing pavement. “The technique of using dielectric constant to relate to asphalt density has been around since at least the 1990s… but up until recently, the technology wasn’t precise enough to be able to use it for deployment on actual asphalt pavement projects,” Hoegh said. MnDOT Studies Uphold Value of GPR in Paving In 2020, MnDOT joined a group of states and the Federal Highway Administration in creating a

When it comes to asphalt, measuring pavement density is key to building longer-lasting roads. Paving contractors must ensure that the pavement is compacted enough to ensure long-term asphalt health. In addition, identifying the percentage of air voids in the overall placed pavement mix is the accepted measure of evaluating this key factor to the integrity of the roads. The current industry standard for measuring compaction and air voids are point-by-point techniques such as coring or using a nuclear density gauge, but up-and-coming Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology could provide a better alternative. Trouble With Point-By-Point Techniques Point-by-point technology is limited in terms of density testing. With these techniques, inspectors measure random sample locations of the pavement and extrapolate this data to the entire road. However, this technique does not cover a large area and could potentially miss problem areas. As Kyle Hoegh of the Minnesota Department of Transportation explained, “You could be at a location that is well within passing density, then move just a few feet away on the pavement and observe a failing density, which does not make spot-check methods well-suited for getting a reliable assessment.” Coring currently is the golden standard for assessing pavement health, but it has further issues. This destructive method tests for air voids at the cost of pavement integrity. Sometimes additional resources and road closures are needed to fill in these cored areas. Besides being destructive, this method also is lacking because it cannot provide real-time data, but rather requires a lengthy and costly process of sending out the cores to be analyzed. Nuclear gauge testing, another point-by-point method, requires certificates for safety and operation, which can be cumbersome.

Caterpillar Simplifies Nomenclature for Its Soil Compactor Line Models Caterpillar has launched an initiative to simplify nomenclature for select models in the Cat vibratory soil compactor range. To correlate with the GC models in the compaction product family, all models within the soil compactor line will feature weight-based names derived from the metric tonnage class in which the model competes. Additionally, the model series descriptor letter suffix will be removed. The Cat vibratory soil compactor line includes smooth and padfoot drum designs offering compaction widths ranging from 50 to 84 in. Durable and reliable, the rollers deliver

high compaction performance, speed and gradeability to maximize productivity on a range of soil types and applications, according to the manufacturer. The Cat CS10 GC, CS11 GC and CP11 GC Vibratory Soil Compactors retain their current nomenclature. For more information, visit www.cat.com/paving. 

pooled fund to experiment with GPR technology to improve asphalt pavement density. MnDOT became the leader of this national pooled fund, focused specifically on deploying continuous asphalt pavement compaction technology. Through this project, MnDOT collaborates with researchers and on-theground workers such as foremen and contractors in a unique and iterative process. Currently, MnDOT is familiarizing contractors with the technology so they understand the information it provides and how it can assist with construction practices. Contractors also provide valuable feedback in evaluating the protocols that are in development, with the ultimate goal of rolling out GPR as a quality assurance tool in Minnesota or recommending it for quality assurance nationally. MnDOT, provides density assessments throughout the project as a trial in creating protocols for future work.

“There are many contractors already doing everything they can to try to get consistently good density and are looking for any sort of information that can help them continue to improve. They’ve been very receptive to trial data collection on their projects, and we’ve even had multiple contractors using the information from the GPR technology to improve their compaction operations,” Hoegh said. The process thus far demonstrates the effectiveness of GPR in paving. For example, a MnDOT team recently tested the technology on a highway echelon paving project. Two asphalt pavers were simultaneously paving both lanes of a two-lane highway, which allows for good compaction at the longitudinal joint, or the area between those two lanes, since the compaction occurs while both lanes were hot. However, the MnDOT team was able to use a density profiling system to identify that less than a foot away from the joint there was a problem.

They noted periodic lower densities along one side of the joint, for as long as 100 to 200 ft. stretches. The MnDOT team was then able to collaborate with the contractor in real time to brainstorm. The team identified what was causing the lower densities and made the necessary changes to ensure adequate pavement density. GPR in Future of Paving These MnDOT projects have demonstrated the potential of GPR technology. The advent of the use of intelligent construction technologies in day-to-day work is occurring at MnDOT and other partners. The continued expansion of these technologies could benefit other states and even countries as more and more information of the paving process becomes available. Work to date shows that longer-lasting road integrity through improved density is on the horizon if this technology is adequately implemented. 

With front-to-rear weight distribution optimized for stability in tough cuts, standard electronically controlled all-wheel drive maximizes traction and mobility for the new RM600 and RM800.

Expanding the product line, the new Cat RM600 and RM800 reclaimer/stabilizers offer the power, performance and productivity needed to efficiently complete full-depth reclamation and soil stabilization projects. These versatile machines compete at the high end of the reclaimer/stabilizer size class with an all-new adjustable height design capable of cross-slope cutting, the manufacturer said. Their powerful turbocharged Cat C18 engine gives the RM600 up to 17 percent more power than the RM500B. The RM800 delivers up to 42 percent more power than the RM500B and up to 23 percent more power than the RM600. These reclaimer/stabilizer models adopt key rotor system components from Cat cold planers for dependable cutting and mixing. Featuring a belt driven rotor drive system, the machine is capable of flush-cutting on the right side. The new System K rotor uses the same cold planer fastener-free, dual-taper toolholder and base block components to deliver superior material quality on a range of projects. Exit and return-to-cut features simplify operation, save time and ensure the machine maintains a consistent depth of cut. Efficient Power, High Mix Quality Two configurations are available for the Cat C18 engine to meet regional emissions requirements. Its robust cooling system uses cool air intake to maximize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Allowing the system to cool more efficiently to extend cleaning and maintenance intervals, automatic cooling fans periodically cycle in reverse to clean the heat exchangers. A single Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors engine performance and provides diagnostics to the operator. With front-to-rear weight distribution optimized for stability in tough cuts, standard electronically controlled all-wheel drive maximizes traction and mobility for the new RM600 and RM800. Four height adjustable legs provide up to + or 12.5 percent (8 degrees) of slope on either side when work-

ing on uneven terrain or to maintain traction in challenging soil stabilization applications. Two high-tensile, six-rib belts with automatic tensioning prevent slippage, while the rotor drive features a hydraulically actuated, heavy-duty clutch that does not require adjustment. Abrasion-resistant, high-strength alloys of the System K rotor can withstand tough, high-power applications, and the cutting tools are strategically placed to deliver ideal material sizing and homogeneous mixing results. The versatile rotor can be configured with bolt-on paddle toolholder protection for full-depth reclamation applications or wedge protection to reduce drag for soil stabilization. The new models offer the power and performance to efficiently cut 96 in. wide at up to 20 in. deep. Advanced electronic controls plus automatic load control maintain rotor mixing depth and optimum machine speed to deliver ideal mix quality. Adjusting the front and rear mixing chamber doors enables instant modification of material gradation, and an easy-to-read indicator on the touchscreen display informs the operator of door positions. A rear rotor chamber door float feature simplifies operation by allowing the operator to select the desired down pressure. RM600 and RM800 also offer bi-directional cutting capability. Increased Versatility Wheel positioning at the corners lends to a highly maneuverable reclaimer/stabilizer design. The machines can navigate an incredibly small 10.1-ft. inside turning radius. Four steering modes — front only, rear only, crab and coordinated — further improve on-site maneuverability. Offering up to + or - 12.5 percent (8 degrees) of slope on either side when working on uneven terrain or to maintain traction in challenging soil stabilization applications, the four-post, adjustable-height design improves stability and cutting precision. see CAT page 46

Water and emulsion spray systems are available for the new machines, and the emulsion system features self-cleaning nozzles and is designed to deliver water as well as bitumen emulsion. Computerized metering delivers accurate application rates with variable flow rates of 8 to 500 gal/min. for water and 8 to 225 gal/min. for emulsion to meet site needs. The operator controls additive flow and customizes spray width from inside the cab. Simple, Comfortable Operation Inspired by the RM400 design, controls are grouped by function for quick and easy access. A small handwheel provides precise steering, while the operator easily matches machine speed and functions to gradation specification via the large, 10 in. color touchscreen displays and pushbutton controls. Hydraulically sliding side-to-side, the cab is easily positioned to enhance visibility to the front and sides of the machine. Floor-to-ceiling glass and an angle pane on the right-hand side provide a clear view to the work ahead and the leading edge of the cutting chamber. The cab’s fully pressurized design with air conditioning and heater/defroster provides a comfortable environment for the operator while keeping noise, dust and the elements out. Standard and optional cameras augment performance and safety for the new RM600 and RM800. Enhancing fore and aft visibility, standard front- and rear-mounted cameras provide configurable guidelines on the touchscreen display. Two standard cameras mounted above the front and rear mixing chamber doors give operators visibility to obstructions and material gradation. Optional side-mount cameras provide

views to each side of the machine. Reduced Maintenance Long service intervals reduce owning and operating costs for the RM600 and RM800. Engine oil service intervals occur every 500 operating hours. Provided recommended sampling schedules are followed, hydraulic oil service and coolant replacement intervals are extended to 6,000 and 12,000 hours respectively. Accessing maintenance points is easy with daily checkpoints centrally located on a secure platform. The standard compressed air system can power pneumatic tools and offers two access points to reduce the time for rotor bit changes. Service mode allows the engine to run while the machine is locked out, supplying compressed air so the rotor can be safely serviced. Side service doors provide quick access to inspect or change end ring bits without reaching inside the rotor chamber. Further simplifying rotor maintenance, the rotor can be hydraulically powered to turn in either direction using a control pendant. The new models feature built-in diagnostics to monitor machine systems, alert the operator of performance issues and simplify troubleshooting. Standard Product Link provides critical machine condition, operating and location data and enables the use of Cat Remote Services. Dealers can virtually diagnose machine issues prior to dispatching a technician using Remote Troubleshoot, helping to ensure the right tools and parts are available to perform repairs. Remote Flash makes sure the machine is working with the latest software, updated at a time convenient to the production schedule. For more information, visit www.cat.com. 

Wirtgen Unveils AutoTrac for Cold Recyclers, Soil Stabilizers In view of growing demands for environmentally compatible processes, the need for responsible handling of valuable resources is also increasing in the areas of soil stabilization and cold recycling. Cost-effective realization of these processes is only possible when they are efficiently executed. With the launch of the AutoTrac system for the WR series, Wirtgen now offers a technology that focuses precisely on this.

AutoTrac system helps Wirtgen wheeled recyclers to achieve greater process efficiency and, as a result of this, a high degree of environmental compatibility. It steers the machine accurately within tolerances of a few centimeters on the basis of a previously calculated reference strip and a specified overlap of adjacent strips, which enables consistent utilization of the machine’s ideal working width. AutoTrac relies, among other things, on various global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) for precise determina-

tion of the machine’s position and direction of travel. The system is operated from an additional control panel that also enables the operator to view information about the position of the machine and previously completed strips.

Ignite Offers Customers Opportunity to Find Right Fit Let’s get this fire started! A new concept attachment company — Ignite Attachments — launched its web-based business in November 2022 from Moorhead, Minn. Ignite is looking to shake up an established attachments industry and stand out from the rest. “We looked at the experience people have with their attachments and implements with the goal of improving it — from researching and buying to maintenance and service,” said Trisha Pearson, business director of Ignite Attachments. “We want to make it easy for them to find the right fit, at an accessible price and deliver it directly to their shop when they need it.” Ignite offers a direct-to-consumer online experience with several key features, including Fit Finder, which allows a customer to match their specific machine to the attachment being ordered. This enables a sure fit and allows the customer to make sure the attachment is compatible before they buy. Ignite’s “$100-or-Less” delivery to your door shipping fee takes the guesswork out of the final cost, especially when shipping heavy pieces of equipment like attachments. Most items ship the same day from the company’s warehouses in Reno, Nev., and Atlanta, Ga. Ignite ships to all 50 states, although some adjustments are necessary to ship to Hawaii and Alaska. The company has plans to partner with additional distribution centers within the United States to reduce delivery times in the future. Currently, the company offers more than 60 products on its web site and has an aggressive roadmap for product launches in the next few years, according to Pearson. Ignite has extensive attachment and implement offerings for skid steers, track machines, compact tractors, mini-loaders and excavator attachments. The 10,000-sq.-ft. facility in Moorhead can grow with the company to accommodate up to 60 people. It is where new concepts are developed. “It is a place to ideate, test and validate product performance,” said Pearson. “With opportunity to research, develop Matt Foley, lead engineer of Ignite Attachments, with and test on-site, we can quickly meet market needs.” For more information, visit igniteattachments.com.  the company’s newest attachment — the 74-in. rake grapple.

It’s ideal for working in more confined urban or residential areas and can mulch grass, brush and wood up to 5 in. in diameter using durable tungsten carbide tipped hammers. Plus, it’s designed to withstand harsh environments with components made from AR400 wear resistant steel. The MINISOIL cl takes the power of a PTO stone crusher and mulcher and brings it down to size for skid steers, compact track loaders and hydraulic tractors that deliver at least 28 gpm to 66 gpm of hydraulic flow. It’s designed to crush stones up to 6 in. in diameter and mulch wood up to 8 in. in diameter for land clearing, vegetation management and more. Compatible with most skid steers, compact track loaders and hydraulic tractors, it features a low profile design, crushes and mulches tough vegetation and rocks using three rows of stone crushing bars and tungsten carbide tipped hammers.

When Disaster Strikes: Essentials for Cleanup, Prevention Natural disasters can leave a trail of destruction and debris in their wake that litters the landscape and creates significant issues for landowners. When clearing vegetation and trees left behind by storms, floods and forest fires, the right equipment is essential for helping return the land to its natural state. “If you’re in the disaster recovery business or handle storm and fire cleanup, you need equipment that can cut, shred, mulch and process downed trees, broken branches and burnt brush,” said Matt Nelson, director of development for Diamond Mowers, a manufacturer of industrial mowing, mulching and brush cutting equipment for the municipal, skid-steer and excavator markets. Following are some must-have tools Nelson recommends for landowners, farmers, ranchers and contractors tackling disaster cleanup, fire prevention and recovery. Mulchers After severe weather or fire, the land can be layered with hazardous trees and brush. Removing these hazards calls for the powerful processing and rotation speed of a disc or drum mulcher designed for large mulch and brush management applications. Engineered to act like a flywheel, the distinctive disc mulcher design combines stored energy with hydraulic power to enable operators to cut and mulch trees and brush in their path effectively and efficiently. Conversely, drum mulchers get their name from their cylindrical, drum-like shape. These heavy-duty land clearing mulchers shred small trees and brush with a forward spinning motion — a quality that makes them great for quick brush and undergrowth removal. “By mulching downed vegetation and debris, you can return the materials and nutrients back to the ground, preparing the land for replanting and new growth,” said Nelson. Diamond Mowers offers the Disc Mulcher Pro X, which is compatible with standard- and high-flow hydraulic skidsteers and is available in 48 and 60 in. cutting widths to slice through trees and brush up to 14 in. in diameter and shred material up to 6 in. in diameter. For heavy-duty land reclamation projects, the Excavator Disc Mulcher Pro X is available in 36 or 48 in. cutting widths and can process material up to 12 in. in diameter. Additionally, Diamond’s drum mulchers in Open and Depth Control styles are compatible with standard- and high-flow skidsteers and excavators. These attachments can continuously mulch material up to 9 in. in diameter and are available in 60 and 72 in. sizes.

with an appropriately sized motor to match the machine’s hydraulic flow. “Removing stumps after storm or fire damage is essential for aesthetics, safety and sustainability,” said Nelson. “Stump removal minimizes maintenance obstacles and prevents insects or wild animals from settling in and causing further damage.” Supplemental Equipment Options In addition to the previously mentioned tools, most reclamation jobs also will require one or more of the following depending on the nature, size and scope of the disaster event: • Backhoe: good for light-duty shoveling and material handling in storm-damaged areas cluttered with debris. • Brush Cutter: tackles land and vegetation management challenges from cutting through tall, thick grass to clearing largescale brush and small trees. The miller stump grinder attachment allows the operator to cut stumps up to 36 in. • Bulldozer: can push large quantities of in diameter without ever moving the carrier. scattered debris into piles for disposal.

Essential for removing stumps after trees have been broken, burnt, or carried away by fierce winds, fire or flooding, this tool uses a rotating cutting disc that mulches stumps into small pieces. Diamond offers two wheel-based options for use with skid-steer carriers: • Miller Stump Grinder — This attachment allows the operator to cut stumps up to 36 in. in diameter without ever moving the carrier. The 26 in., 6-way grinding wheel features swing, lift and telescoping functions that allow users to process a stump while the loader is parked in one position, reducing the risk of soil or turf damage, and making it an ideal solution for arborists or where aesthetics are a significant consideration. This option also features a chain guard that helps protect the grinder and operator from flying debris, along with a convenient push blade that effortlessly fills in holes created while

For heavy-duty land reclamation projects, the Excavator Disc Mulcher Pro X is available in 36 or 48 in. cutting widths and can process material up to 12 in. in diameter.

Right Attachments Helps Va.’s Medek Corp. ‘Move Fast’

Adam Medek and his stump grinder.

Medek Corporation specializes in land clearing and grinding using equipment from Nye Mfg and National Attachments.

By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT

When Adam Medek plays pool, he isn’t afraid of the 8-ball being in a precarious position. “I like to be aggressive. That’s just the way I am.” He brings that philosophy to business as well. Starting a tree business at 18, Medek grew it into Medek Corp., a business with $15 million of equipment, 28 employees and a 12,000-sq.-ft. facility under construction. The company is located in the Richmond, Va., area. Medek and his team clear trees, stumps and brush. They also handle grinding and grubbing. “I have to move fast,” said Medek. “Because when a developer or city finally gets all the permits in hand, they want the area cleared right away so the next stage of Workers often use the stump shears to split stumps in order to feed a grinder. Once the product comes out of the grinder, it can be used as chips or mulch. development can get in after me.” Medek’s team gets impressive results. “I saw that I could get the stump harvester shears and One 11-acre area of Glen Allen, Va., was crowded with trees can shake free the dirt more quickly and move on to the next grapple rakes much cheaper than what the Nye products and all manner of wood debris.

National Attachments, RHD&W Team to Support Medek

Using sophisticated equipment like the stump shear and grapple rake, Medek can clear the land, stack logs and pile stumps for final processing. MEDEK from page 64

Although Medek is aggressive in business, he is careful in managing costs. He has a mechanic and welder on staff. The welder puts a “hard face” on the stump harvester and grinder to protect the equipment in its rough and ready environment — the bead on the face of the tool absorbs as much of the punishment as possible. “The bead wears down first and keeps the equipment in action longer,” said Medek. “When the welded material wears down, my guy just puts another bead on, and we keep going.” Medek loves the versatility of the Nye products. “We can switch from shearing stumps using the stump harvester attachment to a grapple rake attachment in order to load the grinder or grub the land with the removal of one small cylinder pin in only about 10-15 minutes. It saves us the expense of bringing separate excavators for each task. When I am going to Florida or elsewhere for disaster work, that can be a big cost savings.” He also has been impressed by the teamwork of working with National Attachments and Nye Manufacturing. On one occasion he needed a custom grapple rake that would enable his team to get more trees and roots cleared faster. Not only was Nye able to fulfill Medek’s request, but the company came back to him to get his input for future enhancements on its equipment. In today’s construction job market, owners bemoan the fact that it is so difficult to find good employees. Medek agrees. “That’s why I buy quality equipment,” he said. “I am trying to get the job done efficiently with as few employees as possible.” Medek’s extensive fleet includes seven selfloading grapple trucks with customized beds and trailers. While a traditional dump truck will hold about 20 cu. yds. of material, his custom

trucks can hold five times as much. They also can be parked closer to the edge of the street. This allows his grapple equipment to transfer high volumes of brush and trees quickly and easily into the bed for haul off, he said. Medek’s business receives high marks for “green” practices. “I try to recycle as much stuff as I can,” he said. As often as possible his team cuts off the tops of trees designated for removal and sends them through the chipper. These cuttings become chips that companies can use in their power plant generation. Some trees are cut up as logs and sent to mills for further shaping. Other grindings can be used as mulch. “I’m thinking about starting my own mulch company,” he said. “We try to maximize the profit out of each job.” Medek has worked with Wyatt Holzbach (RHD&W LLC Equipment Sales & Rentals) for more than 10 years in getting the right equipment for jobs, including the Nye products. As an independent dealer, Holzbach can procure products for his customers from virtually any dealer and he offers machines with Nye products readily available for sale or for rent. And he knows about Medek’s preferences for Nye products. “All my customers who have Nye products love them,” said Holzbach. “Adam’s company has had unusual growth. He was even successful during COVID when many companies faced downturns.” Holzbach likes the fact that Medek knows the value of quality and dependability. “The stump harvester shears and grapple rakes attachments from National Attachments have had a big part in his success.” National Attachments is the exclusive distributor of NYE products in America and Offshore.

Construction Technology Investment Hit $5.38B in 2022 TECHNOLOGY from page 1

in its day-to-day operations has been proven wrong again post-COVID. That’s the word after observations by IntellectSoft, a digital transformation consultant and engineering firm. “The reality is, compared to others, engineering and construction stepped out of the pandemic crisis in a better state despite all odds,” said the company. “Many wonder where such a drive came from. Well, the allowance for sustainable growth and new use of technology in construction made it all possible.” David Mitchell, founder and CEO of construction technology company XYX Reality, agreed. “Many construction sites today look like something out of a sci-fi movie,” said Mitchell. Sites are filled with automated robots, extended reality headsets, touchpads and everything with a flashing light, Mitchell said. “Increasingly complex software — and hardware — is changing the construction industry.” In fact, construction technology investment hit $5.38 billion in 2022, according to investment specialists Cemex Ventures. Suite of Complements Mitchell said BIM alone has virtually eliminated the cumbersome process of communicating, from the back office to the job site, the daily operation plan. “This digitization of the design and build process gives construction crews and engineers the ability to manipulate, simulate and visualize models in real time,” he said. An expanding suite of complementary technologies that integrate with BIM are bringing digital designs into the physical world. That’s making it easier to build to specs, boosting construction to eliminate rework, said Mitchell, in management consultant Fast Company’s website blog. Field engineers can compare holograms of 3D design models to real-world structures using Augmented Reality (AR). They can monitor a building in real-time using sensors to compare it against a digital twin and proactively identify errors. Finally, said Mitchell, “construction is going digital, taking human error out of the picture once and for all — a critical step in eliminating error.” The accuracy and speed of digital information means it can be shared easily, especially using cloud platform. Digitally enabled hardware can collect data in the field. This feature establishes a home for artificial intelligence (AI) in construction, said Mitchell. Compute vision (CV) brings AI to life by analyzing images. It also can monitor environments and identify any perceived safety risks on the job site. AI can “handle project data, managing resources like budgets, materials and energy to automate processes” that ultimately free up time for other tasks, he said. Another headache eliminated from the project: rework. A “stubborn stumbling block,” rework is quickly becoming a thing of the past. “Architects, engineers and construction crews are already adopting cutting-edge technology,” said Mitchell. Lead general contractors are seeing the returns, reporting as much as nine times ROI, he said. “We’ve seen AR reduce rework to as little as one percent on projects, providing cost and environmental savings.” Mitchell believes it’ll take time to convince an entire industry to “adjust to this futuristic normal,” and confidence

The construction industry has embraced new technology, such as BIM, AR and VR, to quickly ramp up workflow and make job sites safer.

BIM aids in construction site safety by eliminating risk and providing a common digital platform for stakeholders to collaborate.

is needed. “But it’s already happening and is accelerating,” he said. “It’s catch on quickly — or be left in the dust.” Getting On BIM Bandwagon Each software component to a BIM system is unique in one way or another, said Jim Stephen, account executive of Microsol Resources. But all the components have a common goal for their users of managing projects more effectively and efficiently, said Stephen in an article for ohsonline. Software functionalities include the ability to create accurate 3D project models including all elements and phases of construction. Data management is another BIM feature, tracking performance metrics, material specs and cost information, said Stephen. The systems allow multiple stakeholders to work together on a project in real time via cloud-based platforms. And the renderings they offer are realistic images of a project, designed for client presentations and reviews.

BIM features can analyze and simulate the design of a project to identify potential problems on the job. These functionalities are capable of estimating the cost of the project and then creating a completion timeline. “This list is also growing,” said Stephen. “As technology continues to develop and more products hit the market, there will be new ways in which BIM can be used.” Construction site safety is a key benefit of BIM. It can play a major role in eliminating risk by providing a common digital platform for stakeholders, he said. The technology improves hazard prevention “perhaps the most beneficial way in which BIM can support safety on construction sites.” First, it can help with the development of a detailed plan covering all steps of the project and can identify potential risks along the way, said Stephen. “This makes it easier to identify areas that may be more prone to hazardous activity and proactively address them before construction starts.” The digital reports and simulations generated are valuable in understanding the risks associated with a particular task. “This aids in creating safer conditions for works, as well as reducing the time and effort spent on rectifying errors.” And, said Stephen, BIM’s ability to streamline communication among different teams on a site is key to ensuring safety during construction. “By creating a single source for project information and a platform for real-time collaboration, BIM can reduce the risk of miscommunication or mistakes.” The technology also allows stakeholders to coordinate and visualize onsite spatial relationships to reduce hazards associated with the site’s physical layout. This includes the ability to measure distances between objects, identify blind spots and assess interferences between different areas of the site. see TECHNOLOGY page 88

SCDOT’s Carolina Crossroads Features S.C.’s First DDI SCDOT from page 1

Contracts for the final three segments of the project will be let at a later date, SCDOT said. The extensive rehabilitation project is badly needed as the convergence of traffic on Interstate 26 and I-20, and south to the point where I-126 is formed, has long created a pinch point in the part of Columbia west of the Broad River. That has led to clogged highways and frequent accidents, particularly during rush hours. In fact, SCDOT has noted that more than 134,000 vehicles, including freight haulers and cars passing in, out and around South Carolina’s capital city, motor through “Malfunction Junction” each day. But Brian Klauk, SCDOT’s project manager of the freeway rebuild, is quick to point out that his agency did not hang the notorious nickname on the troubled highway/interchange system. He does know, however, that it has fallen to his agency to fix the problem, and he is confident that SCDOT has a reasonable, if costly, long-term solution. “The Carolina Crossroads Project will implement modern infrastructure design throughout the I-20/I-26/I-126 corridor that will make it safer and easier for drivers to navigate through the area,” Klauk explained. “For example, we anticipate incorporating a turbine design and collector/distributor ramps at the I-20/26 Interchange which will eliminate the need for drivers to [hazardously] weave through multiple lanes of traffic to connect from one interstate to another.” An alternative to conventional interstate on- and offramps, turbine designs are four-way directional interchanges. They have become a popular choice among freeway designers in recent years because they require fewer levels (usually two or three) while retaining directional ramps throughout, and feature right-exit, left-turning ramps that sweep around the center of an interchange in a clockwise spiral. Klauk said the contractors at Carolinas Crossroads also will build the first diverging diamond interchanges (DDIs) in South Carolina’s Midlands region so motorists can more safely make left turns onto the interstate. “When the project is complete, we’ll be saving drivers an average of 112 hours in annual drive time by creating more efficiency throughout the corridor,” he noted. The design of the Carolinas Crossroads freeway upgrades also calls for the construction of 132 mi. of new lanes; 14 mi. of widened interstate highways; 43 new bridges; seven reconstructed interchanges to replace outdated cloverleaf loops; and safer interstate exit points that are farther apart and separated from other freeway traffic. Klauk said SCDOT is employing “an innovative delivery approach” in each of the first three phases, at least, to streamline the final design and building to allow the project to finish quicker. “The approach is the use of design-build procurement for the construction work,” he said. “This means that we competitively secure the services of a designer and contractor [Archer United] on a single team. Combining these disciplines can yield a final design with improvements that capitalize on the combined strengths of [each company].” Construction on Phase 1 of the Carolinas Crossroads got under way in 2022, with a nine-year project timeframe, according to SCDOT. Two Interchanges Combined Into One Phase 1, on the south end of the overall project, is being

Nearby, improvements also are planned to increase traffic flow along I-26 heading in the direction of U.S. Highway 378/Sunset Boulevard. Among them are lengthening the I26 eastbound exit ramp to U.S 378 to accommodate the large number of vehicles that exit there in the afternoon and prevent stopped vehicles on the interstate shoulders. “The Carolina Crossroads project is one of unprecedented scale for the state, so the project team went to great lengths to incorporate best practices and risk mitigation strategies [to] put us in the best possible position to get ahead of the challenges that come with a project of this size,” Klauk said. “A lot of our risk mitigation measures include advance work on permitting, right-of-way and the incorporation of a quality assurance program.” The first phase is slated to be completed and open to traffic in late 2024. Phase 2: Midlands’ First DDI Like Carolina Crossroads’ first phase, the second also is in SCDOT photo its embryonic stage of construction, Klauk noted, with Construction on Phase 1 of the Carolinas Crossroads AUJV putting the finishing touches on its design. Much of got under way in 2022, with a nine-year project time- the same work already done in the earlier phase is being perframe, according to SCDOT. formed in Phase 2. “The key features of Phase 2 will be the building of three built at a cost of $210 million. It centers on the reconfigura- new bridges and the implementation of an offset diverging tion of the I-126/Colonial Life Boulevard interchange where diamond at the Broad River Road interchange at I-20,” he two existing bridges are being rehabilitated and three new said. “This part of the project also will include construction overpasses, including the first DDI, are being constructed to of a new collector/distributor ramp that will make it easier create a less-congested, full-access interchange. for drivers to access I-26 westbound when coming from I-20 By moving the current I-26/Bush River Road interchange westbound.” a short distance to the southeast and combining it with a Another major component of this segment of the project rebuilt I-126/Colonial Life Boulevard crossing point, AUJV is the removal of the shared ramp with Garner Lane Road to will produce a new full access freeway interchange at eliminate possible wrong-way driving out the eastbound Colonial Life. SCDOT believes the update will improve traf- entrance ramp to I-20. fic flow and safety by removing an adverse weave on I-26 The turbine interchange at I-20/I-26 and the widening of westbound between I-20 and I-126. see SCDOT page 82 SCDOT photo

both freeways will be key to reducing congestion and improving safety within the corridor, Klauk added, while noting, “the DDI interchange at Colonial Life Boulevard/I126 [part of Phase 1] and the offset DDI at Broad River Road/I-20 also will be important incremental improvements that the public will experience in advance of the construction of Phase 3.” SCDOT listed the cost to build Phase 2 at $210 million, with all work done by the AUJV team. Columbia area drivers can anticipate completion on this part of the project in early 2025. Outmoded I-20/I-26 Interchange to Get Makeover None of the final three phases planned for the Carolina Crossroads rehabilitation and construction project have yet been designed, Klauk said, but most of the goals for each have been set by SCDOT. For instance, when major construction on Phase 3 starts in late 2023, the state agency envisions it taking place at, or near, the very heart of the interstate corridor, where I-20 and I-26 meet to form a complex interchange. There, the crossing point currently relies upon cloverleaf ramps to connect drivers to each direction of the two freeways, but SCDOT intends to install a new turbine interchange in their place. Other highlights of Phase 3 include improving a second Bush River Road interchange, this one to the west at I-20, and a reconstruction of the I-26/St. Andrews Road inter-

change. If all goes to plan, substantial completion on the third phase should occur by the fall of 2028, according to SCDOT. Last Two Phases Likely to Wrap in 2029 It will be 2025 before Phase 4’s construction gets under way, but when work does ramp up it will include a reconstruction of the I-26/Harbison Boulevard interchange to make it easier for motorists to access the interstate. More work will be done to relocate Jamil Road and Fernandina Road, each of which run parallel to I-26 on either side of the freeway between Harbison and St. Andrews Road, to prepare the highway to be widened with an additional lane in each direction as part of Phase 5. In that fifth and final last phase, to begin in 2027, contractors will have the task of building several key elements before SCDOT declares the Carolinas Crossroads project finished, hopefully sometime in 2029. Besides the widening of I-26 to accommodate more vehicles, the builders also will: • Create full-width, 12-ft. inside shoulders on I-26 to improve emergency vehicle access and provide a safer refuge for stalled vehicles. • Reconfigure the existing Piney Grove Road entrance and exit ramps to I-26 to make it easier for drivers to access the interstate. • Adjust the ramps at the Lake Murray Boulevard and Broad River Road interchanges to accommodate the I-26 widening.

Phase 1, on the south end of the overall project, is being built at a cost of $210 million.

SCDOT Views Work as ‘Malfunction’ Correction In addition to making the freeway corridor safer and easier, Carolinas Crossroads was proposed with South Carolina’s future population growth in mind as the state continues to be a popular relocation spot for many people from across the United States. The upgrade and modernization of the outdated triple interstate corridor is also critical to the state’s economic vitality, state officials contend. When it is complete, the eventual transformation from a freeway “malfunction” to a modern, spacious people mover comes on the heels of another of the state’s traffic “pinch points” recently rebuilt at the I-85/I-385 interchange in Greenville. A third such fix is needed at Charleston’s I-26/I526 crossing and is currently on the SCDOT drawing board as part of its 10-Year Plan to upgrade the state’s substandard roads and highways.  CEG

Besides the Ombuds Office, the Allen Building is home to several other departments, including the Office of Veteran Success, the Office of Graduate Studies and Student Success offices. Currently, it also houses the Judy Genshaft Honors College, which is moving into its new building in May. “Over the nine years that I’ve worked in the Allen Building, we have had several leaks from the roof into classrooms and offices,” said Charles Adams, dean of the Judy Genshaft Honors College. “The HVAC system similarly needs a complete overhaul. We are very grateful to the state for providing funding so that these conditions can finally be addressed.” The USF campus projects are set to be completed throughout the next three years, with the revitalized water tower ready by the start of the 2023 fall semester. The Office of Administrative Services is working closely with the Office of Supplier Diversity in its efforts to promote upcoming construction work opportunities.

The machine, an A30G articulated hauler, has been purchased by Pennsy Supply Inc., a CRH company and long-standing Volvo CE customer, for use at its East Petersburg Quarry in Pa. The hauler was handed over by President of Volvo CE Melker Jernberg to Scott Parson, president Americas Materials at CRH — a long-standing customer of Volvo CE. “At Volvo CE, we believe partnership is the new leadership. The handover today to Pennsy Supply demonstrates what can be achieved when we work together with like-minded and forwardthinking partners who share our vision and commitment to sustainability and want to lead our industry to change,” Jernberg said.

Volvo Group’s Journey Toward Fossil-Free Steel In October 2021, Volvo Group unveiled the world’s first vehicle made from fossil-free steel. Then in May 2022, Volvo Trucks started to introduce fossil-free steel into parts of its range. In June 2022, Volvo CE became the first manufacturer in the world to deliver a construction machine made with fossil-free steel to a customer. The company will continue to introduce production using fossilfree steel into its machines and components, dependent on aspects such as steel availability.

TX 1000 0 Experts Consider BIM Critical Component of AEC Industry TORO.COM M

TECHNOLOGY from page 74

“Such planning can reduce the likelihood of accidents due to inadequate space or incorrect placement,” Stephen said. A BIM construction site simulation offers workers a virtual walk-through of their workspace, as well as the potential hazards they may come across. Finally, BIM enables architecture, engineering and construction professionals to standardize and prefabricate components and materials in a controlled environment. “This contrasts with the traditional way of doing things on site, which is often unpredictable and chaotic,” said Stephen. “In a digital environment, engineers can accurately assess each element to make sure it is safe and suitable for use in the actual construction process.” Experts consider BIM a critical component of the modern AEC industry’s innovation and eventual transition into a fourth revolution, said Stephen. “Its capabilities are a significant upgrade from decades past, when professionals would rely on multiple physical plans and tools throughout the building process.” Other Technologies Gaining Ground Beyond BIM and automation, self-repairing materials, drones, virtual reality and sustainability are at play in the “coolest” construction technologies in use today. Trimble believes that self-healing building materials such as concrete made from fungi “might not be as far-fetched as it sounds.” In the company’s Viewpoint blog, Charity Heller wrote that technologies are in fact being developed using bacterial

or enzymes to create self-healing concrete. Synthetic building material can strength and grow itself, “meaning stronger and more durable structures, and longer time in between maintenance,” wrote Heller. With augmented and virtual reality tools, workers are able to accurately test out designs, plan projects and create 3D models of their build specs. “The virtual environment helps construction professionals undertake complex engineering tasks with stunning visuals, a wider range of materials and collaborative working options,” said Heller. “Augmented and virtual reality tools are starting to replace traditional methods like paper blueprints with interactive visualizations.” This in turn allows for deeper exploration of the project,

leading to better results and a great deal of saved time, she said. “Therefore, virtual reality tools are becoming essential for architects and construction workers to make sure their work is planned out correctly.” Heller said what’s new in data automation is the huge volume of construction data being collected. “More importantly, turning all that data into actionable information that can accessed by the right people,” she said. Cloud-based construction technology delivers connected, role-based information to different construction teams. The teams may be in different locations and need different levels of access and types of information. The cloud can facilitate the sharing process. Sustainability has been top of mind for many construction companies for a while now. Many of the cool technologies Heller discussed have the additional benefit of advancing sustainability, she said. “But there are many new technologies that make it easier to reduce emissions, waste and use fewer resources and less energy.” Solar panels, for example, generate power, reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable materials at play now include cork, bamboo and mycelium. Use of low-carbon cross-laminated timber is set to more than triple by 2030. And, noted Heller, prefabrication and modular building materials continue to lessen the environmental impact of the construction site. “It’s an exciting time to be looking ahead at construction technology, even if hover-cars are still a few years away.”  CEG

Four Ways to Address Industry’s Technician Shortage By Julie Davis SPECIAL TO CEG

It’s no secret to anyone working in equipment manufacturing the ever-growing technician shortage is a problem poised to get a lot worse before it gets better. According to a 2020 AED Foundation industry research report, the industry may need to fill as many as 73,500 heavy equipment technician positions by 2025. In addition, the report stated equipment manufacturing possesses a job opening rate three times higher than the national average. Among survey respondents, 95 percent agreed with the assertion there was a skills gap in the industry, while 89 percent reported a shortage of workers within the walls of their respective companies. Now, I don’t want to suggest the widespread technician shortage can be quickly addressed, let alone easily solved. However, equipment manufacturers can (and should) embrace and adopt a number of short-term and long-term strategies to set themselves up for sustained success as it relates to workforce development. Focus On Retention So many pieces of the technician workforce puzzle can only be lightly influenced. However, one area companies can focus efforts to drive positive change as it relates to retention is workplace culture. Start by asking the following two questions: • Are exit interviews being conducted? — Technicians leaving an organization within the first six months could indicate an onboarding problem, while technicians leaving between 2.5 and 3.5 years could indicate

a lack of development opportunities. With exit interviews, it’s worthwhile to have both a manager and human resources representative conduct interviews separately, as each position is likely to elicit different responses from departing employee. • Are staying interviews being conducted? -- Talking with staff in key positions about their individual experiences can shed light on missed opportunities or future red flags. Engaging in staying interviews can be particularly helpful in the first 12 months to understand what it’s like to be onboarded and how new employees experience the existing culture within the organization. Start by creating a culture check-in by surveying all employees. What changes can be made based off all the information learned? And remember, to those companies who aren’t currently acting on employee feedback being received, asking for additional input can (and likely will) negatively impact culture moving forward. Fill Talent Pipeline There’s really no overstating the importance of finding ways to fill an organizational talent pipeline. And while it takes time to secure a return on investments of time, effort and resources to do so, it’s worth it to take proactive steps to ensure desired results. Simply contacting the nearest local technical college once or twice a year isn’t going to be enough to attract and acquire talent. Regularly engage with educational institutions. Be part of review committees. Get in front of students in classrooms. Donate equipment. More than anything else, do what it takes to be top of mind when these schools begin looking to place their best stu-

dents. It will pay dividends over time. In addition, it’s important to connect with high schools feeding into technical college programs. One effective way to do so is to introduce the high schools to a free, available high school technician curriculum offered through Curriculum for Ag Science Education. It’s not just an ag technician curriculum, but rather a program which introduces the technician career to a wide audience and enhances industry perception to parents, teachers and students. As a bonus, there is a built-in industry connection opportunity though the collection of used parts and by offering several class visits. Organizations must be willing to shed light on the significant industry demand for qualified workers and worthwhile career opportunities, because chances are they aren’t aware of the extent of the existing technician shortage. Technician program partnerships, apprenticeships, job shadowing or any other work-and-learn program are the most effective way to connect with new workers. And, ultimately, partnering with education is critical for retention, as technicians require ongoing training and development. Diversify, Optimize Recruitment Strategies Want to really move the needle when it comes to acquiring talent? Do the following: • Actively recruit women and minorities. • Change the way job postings are written and where they are being posted. • Check language in job postings via a gender decoder website to determine if it’s overly masculine. • Target locations and events where some-

one with the skills, interests, and hobbies of workers the organization wants to replicate might be out and see if the openings can be posted. Collaborate With Others Because the technician shortage is one of the industries biggest issues, AEM’s Workforce Development Committee has created a technician taskforce. We’ll be sharing examples of survey questions, stay interview questions and other practices being used by industry members to help move the needle in this space. AEM also is partnering with, and supporting the work of, the AED Foundation. If you’re not aware of the AED Foundation’s work to accredit 100 colleges and recognize 150 high schools in heavy equipment technology programs, you can learn more about its Vision 2025 by visiting the AED Foundation website. When it comes to understanding the work being done to support the industry’s need in this space, there are many associations that are trying to collaborate rather than duplicate efforts. Just as there’s no one thing that a company can do to help ease the technician shortage, there’s no one associate that can solve the challenge on their own. With much work to be done and a new technician taskforce being formed, more information will be generated on this topic. In the meantime, make sure to visit AEM’s Workforce Solutions Toolkit to access valuable resources. For more information, visit www.aem.org. 

Cemex Reports Quarter 1 Solid Growth in Sales, EBITDA Cemex reported a 9 percent growth in sales and a 6 percent growth in EBITDA in the first quarter of 2023.

EBITDA margin showed significant sequential improvement, with a 1.9 percentage points increase. Consolidated 2023 First Q1 Highlights • Net Sales increased 9 percent to $4,036 million. • Operating EBITDA increased

6 percent to $733 million. • Operating EBITDA margin of 18.2 percent, with a strong sequential improvement of 1.9pp and the lowest year-over-year margin decline in five quarters. • Free Cash Flow after Maintenance Capital Expenditures was negative $55 million, a yearover-year improvement of $120 million. • Year-over-year reduction of 3 percent in CO2 levels. • Issued $1 billion of subordinated perpetual notes, the first of its kind in the industry, accelerates the path towards investment grade. • Leverage ratio at 2.62x, a reduction of 0.22x versus fourth

quarter of 2022. (As calculated under Cemex’s main debt agreements) • EBITDA growth of 34 percent in Urbanization Solutions business. • Incremental EBITDA contribution of $40 million from growth investments and Urbanization Solutions. Geographical Markets 2023 Q1 Highlights • Net Sales in Mexico increased 13 percent in the first quarter, to $1,097 million, while Operating EBITDA increased 9 percent to $344 million. Sequential EBITDA margin improved 4.7pp to 31.4 percent.

• Cemex’s operation in the United States reported record EBITDA (On a reported basis since 2006) with a growth of 15 percent, despite significant weather challenges impacting most markets. Net Sales increased 5 percent to $1,255 million. EBITDA Margin increased 1.5pp to 18.3 percent while improving sequentially for the third straight quarter. • In the Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia region, Net Sales increased 14 percent in the First Quarter, to $1,234 million. Operating EBITDA was $148 million, 15 percent higher. EBITDA Margin of 12.0 percent was down 0.3pp.

• Cemex’s operations in South, Central America and the Caribbean region, reported Net Sales of $411 million in the First Quarter, an increase of 4 percent. Operating EBITDA decreased 21 percent to $84 million. EBITDA Margin declined 5.9pp, to 20.4 percent. Decreases in EBTIDA and EBITDA Margin are mainly attributable to higher energy and maintenance costs and lower cement volumes. Note: All percentage variations related to Net Sales and EBITDA are on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations compared to the same period of last year. 
