Staying Ahead of Hackers Astec Industries Launches Major Rebrand…68

Though Construction Hasn’t Been Hit, Yet, Potential for Damage Is There Challenge-junkie cybercriminals have moved on from hacking personal information. Now corporate intelligence, infrastructure and even heavy equipment are targets. Though currently cybersecurity threats are incidental in the construction industry, the potential for widespread damage exists. What can contractors do to protect their company data and heavy machinery assets? “We’ve crossed the rubicon,” said Erol Ahmed; director of communications of Built Robotics, San Francisco.

ical infrastructure, pipelines and potentially heavy equipment.” Ahmed believes these large-scale operations make more attractive targets because the software used to run them is easy and accessible to criminals. “So, it’s important to provide the right protection for users as much as possible.” The bottom line, said Ahmed is yes, “we’re seeing an increase in ransomware and hacking, but we have the capabilities to fight back and keep our equipment running smoothly and safely.” see HACKERS page 72

Volvo CE Delivers Its Version of ‘Factory 4 Tomorrow’

Across 14 sites around the world, smart factory teams have been set up, tasked with looking for ways to innovate and impact the business.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is occurring at a speed that has never been seen before. It has the potential to change everything. For Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), it’s an opportunity not only for digital transformation, but to build a future that we all want to live and work in. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0 — which was first identified by Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum in his book of the same name — is revolutionizing the way companies manufacture, improve and distribute their products. Volvo CE is embracing the change and putting the power for innovation directly in the hands of its employees with a vision of the future it’s calling Factory 4 Tomorrow (F4T). Explaining the company’s approach, Lina Stålberg, manufacturing technology development and governance at Volvo CE, said, “For us, Factory 4 Tomorrow is about far more than just introducing new technologies, there’s a far higher purpose behind it. It’s about building a world we want to live in and workplaces we want to work in.” Across 14 sites around the world, smart factory teams have been set up, tasked with looking for ways to innovate and impact the business. Working closely with others at the site,

these teams are actively seeking ways to solve everyday business problems and challenges with the help of exciting new technologies, such as IoT, AI and machine learning. They will be experimenting and testing to generate new ideas and ways of working. It will be a complete overhaul of every production detail and the innovations that are explored could very well become a reality on the factory floor in the coming years. Automation in the factories and offices, for example, will reduce the need for employees to engage in repetitive tasks, creating a safer and more ergonomic work environment. Lina added: “To be successful, it’s critical to create the right culture for change. We want our people to be excited by the possibilities new technologies can deliver and the solutions they can provide to real problems they might face in their day-to-day jobs and lives. That’s why our approach is collaborative and very much bottom-up. We’re empowering our employees to help enact change.” Brunno Muller, head of advanced manufacturing engineering and research at Volvo CE, said, “Our role is very much to facilitate good dialogue and collaboration and provide

Factory 4 Tomorrow will explore new technologies and ways of working to make manufacturing more sustainable.

coaching and mentoring to help guide the site teams on their journeys. We hold the big picture, but it is up to the individual sites to identify areas for change. It’s very inspiring to see how engagement in Factory 4 Tomorrow is growing across the entire organization, from employees all the way up to leaders. And with it, we are all developing

new skills and competencies.” As well as creating an attractive workplace, Factory 4 Tomorrow will transform manufacturing processes at Volvo CE, delivering significant benefits for customers, many of whom are demanding more customization and more individualized products. Due to globalization and new technologies, flexibility and speed of change are becoming ever more important. A digital transformation will accelerate Volvo CE’s lean journey towards operational excellence. Optimized manufacturing also will bring sustainability benefits, helping to reduce Volvo CE’s industrial footprint. “At Volvo CE, our mindset is very much based on collaboration, both internally between teams and across sites, as well as externally with customers, suppliers and partners. We cannot build the future we want by ourselves. We need to step away from silo thinking and consider how we do this endto-end, joining forces with partners and sharing experiences,” Muller said.

New Tools Help Ideal Landscaping ‘Make the Grade’ By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

One thing is certain about Ideal Landscaping’s project at Hoover Road Park in Durham, N.C.: The Triangle company employs some of the best tools on the market to perform its grading project at the 50-acre soccer park. The 30-year-old commercial landscape contracting firm is based in nearby Holly Springs, southwest of Raleigh. Currently, Ideal Landscaping is working in Durham to install irrigation systems underneath four soccer fields. The family-owned landscaper is a subcontractor to Skanska USA, along with Raleigh-based Fred Smith Construction, the provider of the project’s subgrade. Skanska is the prime contractor for the $9.5 million upgrade to the park with the goal of making it a tournament level facility. “What we had to do was bring in all our underground irrigation, 6-inch mainline running into 2.5-inch valves, from which run various size lines ranging from 2.5-inch pipes down to one-inch lines,” said Cody Byrd, the install supervisor of Ideal Landscaping. “And when digging up subgrade, we must also maintain the subgrades because there’s so much drainage on this field. That means that we are using all our machines to slope everything back down to where we started after the pipes are installed. Eventually, after the irrigation and drainage is in place, I have to add 6 inches to that subgrade for the playing surface.” He added that besides installing the irrigation system, the

Cody Byrd (L), install supervisor of Ideal Landscaping, and Bob Hendrick of SITECH Precision in Raleigh.

drainage has been engineered to where a 12-in. trunk line has been positioned around the soccer fields, along with 2-in. pipes placed every 10 ft. on center. “We’re putting engineered soil on top of it that also drains very well, about 8 inches of water an hour,” Byrd said. “The idea is to allow the teams to be able to play on these field after a heavy rain.” According to the city of Durham website, the Hoover Road Park improvement project should be completed this fall.

Cody Byrd, the install supervisor of Ideal Landscaping, works the Trimble operating screen inside the Caterpillar 299D3 compact track loader.

Combo of Systems Makes Byrd’s Job Easier With an eye toward precision grading at the site, Ideal Landscaping’s prime piece of equipment is a Caterpillar 299D3, the manufacturer’s newest compact track loader featuring a high-flow XPS hydraulics system. The contracting firm acquired the Cat loader via its long-standing partnership with Raleigh’s Gregory Poole Cat distributorship. Byrd’s new machine also is fitted with a Cat BB124 box blade on the front end of the loader designed for grading and leveling. Operators can use the box blade both manually and automatically with the use of laser or GPS grading systems.

That last option is key to Ideal Landscaping’s entire operation at Hoover Road Park, Byrd said, because he also enlisted the services of the Raleigh office of SITECH Precision to equip him with the kind of technology that all but guarantees total accuracy in his crews’ irrigation installation effort. SITECH is a leading construction technology provider in North Carolina. Its experts can assist contractors using GPS systems in solving many of their issues on site with Trimble Heavy Industry machine control solutions. As an authorized Trimble distributor, SITECH offers Trimble products that can establish accurate grade control and site positioning systems, machine monitoring, construction software and wireless and Internet-based infrastructure. “I have a Trimble Zephyr 3 base station that we placed near the gate coming into the job site,” said Byrd. “The single mast on the Cat’s box blade is equipped with Trimble’s GCS900 3D system, and it is also used to get my grade back to subgrade.” The Zephyr base station receives GPS data from satellites in orbit and transmits to Byrd’s equipment in the field. The Trimble kit he purchased from SITECH also gives him a lightweight SPS986 Zephyr rover mounted on a pole so that he can walk the site to check the grades and do his field layouts for the irrigation and the drainage. In addition, the Trimble T7 field computer Byrd carries with him, about the size of an iPad, but much thicker, he said, is connected to each of the other Trimble systems on site. “The mast on the Cat loader’s box blade works in tandem with the Trimble Zephyr GPS system to guide the orientation see IDEAL page 64

Demolition Blows Center Span of Old Outer Banks Bridge The last remaining center span of one of North Carolina’s most famous bridges went up in smoke and flying debris on May 27 as part of a controlled explosion. Contractors blasted the final remaining horizontal section of the old Herbert C. Bonner Bridge over Oregon Inlet after initially trying to dismantle it in April. That effort failed when part of the bridge section collapsed unexpectedly, killing a construction worker. The demolition in late May was captured by scores of videos shared on social media, according to the Charlotte Observer. Motorists waiting at a safe distance were able to video the giant concrete span break apart in the explosions from a 1,500-yard safe zone maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The 55-year-old, 2.7-mi.-long Bonner Bridge is well known to locals and vacationers, who used it to travel to the southern Outer Banks...

The 55-year-old, 2.7-mi.-long Bonner Bridge is well known to locals and vacationers, who used it to travel to the southern Outer Banks, including Cape Hatteras, from Nags Head, Manteo and the mainland. Prior to its construction, a ferry was needed to cross Oregon Inlet. It was replaced in 2019 by the $252 million Marc Basnight Bridge, “the first bridge in the state to incorporate stainless steel to thwart saltwater corrosion,” according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The new 2.8-mi.-long bridge is expected to have a 100-year life span. The ongoing removal of the Bonner Bridge made news earlier this spring when a section collapsed and killed a construction worker, McClatchy News reported. The 42-yearold man was part of a crew hired to dismantle the old bridge, officials said. “The collapsed portion of the bridge posed many challenges for removal so a crew from CDI [Controlled Demolition Inc.] placed explosive charges in precise locations that brought the structure safely to the ground,” the U.S. Coast Guard Station Oregon Inlet reported on Facebook. A 1,000-ft. section of the old bridge will remain standing at the south end as a pedestrian and fishing pier. The decision to leave the section is due in part to the Davis Slough, “a strong current of water” that flows under the span, McClatchy News reported in 2020. Experts feared removing that section could change the current in the Oregon Inlet, resulting in “beach erosion and rough currents.” The base of pilings at the north end of the bridge also are being preserved to prevent “harm to the sensitive wetlands and marine life” near the shore, NCDOT officials told the Observer. 

Darrell Westmoreland

North State Takes On U.S. Ecosystem Restoration With Linder, Terramac

Operator Daniel Westmoreland

In 1994, Darrell Westmoreland and his wife, Stephanie, founded North State Environmental as a stream and wetlands mitigation and restoration contractor. The WinstonSalem, N.C., based company has grown to 60-plus employees over the last 27 years and takes on a wide range of environmental projects throughout the United States. “I grew up watching my grandpa farm and developed a passion for the outdoors from a young age,” said Westmoreland. “A couple years after I graduated from college, Stephanie and I were able to start up North State Environmental together. At first, our main focus was erosion control and environment protection. About three years into the business, we moved into the stream restoration and mitigation, wetlands restoration and storm water work.” At its Big Run project near Moncks Corner, S.C., North State Environmental is completing 30,000 feet of stream mitigation. The four-month project provides credits for companies to offset other activities that disrupt natural environments. The remote location and challenging weather conditions of projects like Big Run means North State Environmental relies on machines that can handle a heavy workload while minimizing their impact on the ecosystem. To meet those demands while moving material, the firm utisee RESTORATION page 56

The Terramac “R” series are rotating units that allow movement in tight areas where you don’t want to spin the tracks.

North State Environmental uses the Terramac RT14R crawler carrier.

Parman Tractor & Equipment moved into its new, 20,000-sq.-ft. Nashville facility in November 2020 on the same property that had previously been the home of Cumberland Tractor & Equipment.

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Just two years ago, a new company, Parman Tractor & Equipment, opened its doors to contractors in Tennessee and other parts of the South wanting a distributor of top shelf construction machinery — one that is also expert in the art of treating its customers well. It was not long before customers found Parman to be exactly what they were looking for. Located in Nashville, with a customer service radius extending 100 mi. around the Music City, the new dealership sells, rents and services new and used skid steer loaders, backhoes, large and mini-excavators and compacting equipment for the construction business, as well as some agricultural equipment for that industry. In the case of Parman, though, the word “new” requires a bit of clarification. In May 2019, the dealership formerly known as Cumberland Tractor & Equipment was acquired by Parman Holding Corporation, an employee-owned petroleum products distributor, also headquartered in Nashville. The large conglomerate also counts Parman Energy Group and Signature Lubricants among its divisions. With the deal, Cumberland was renamed Parman Tractor & Equipment and the latter

has since worked to live up to and strengthen the old dealership’s good name and reputation in the region. It started by totally rebuilding the old Cumberland location into a more modern facility on the north side of Nashville. Parman also upgraded its capabilities and has completely revamped its approach to customer service. Rachel Hockenberger, CFO of Parman Holdings, explained that her company saw

Cumberland as an extremely attractive asset — one that was too good to pass up. “Parman learned of an opportunity to purchase Cumberland Tractor & Equipment through a Parman Energy Group customer,” she said. “Upon assessing the opportunity, we found synergies between service and reliability, which could complement both businesses. From there, it was a no brainer.” “Parman Energy Group has had robust

growth over the years stemming from organic growth and acquisitions,” said Steve Moore, CEO of Parman Holdings. “The acquisition of the equipment dealership has definitely been one of our most successful and gives us the confidence to further diversify and grow our Parman brand.” Parman Energy Group had partnered with Cumberland as a supplier for years prior to the acquisition, Hockenberger said, making the transition a smooth one and has maintained a good association with the former owners. Construction Business Dominates Company Focus Cumberland Tractor & Equipment started its life in 1981 as Nashville Ford Tractor Inc., owned by the Denny family. Over time, the original company grew and evolved into one of the region’s leading distributors before it was acquired in 2012 by a local heavy-duty truck dealer, who gave it the Cumberland name, according to Charley Crichton, president of Parman Tractor & Equipment. In the seven years between that sale and Parman Holding’s purchase of Cumberland, the distributor had begun to shift its business focus and growth more toward the construction industry, said Crichton, adding that Parman has been able to build its customer-

Joe Reynolds of Reynolds-Warren Equipment Passes Away Jasper “Joe” Reynolds, age 94, of Dallas, Ga., passed away May 23, 2021. A native of Young Harris, Ga, Mr. Reynolds lived in Cobb County for most of his life. He was a veteran of the United States Army, having served during World War II. Mr. Reynolds originally worked with Burch-Lowe in Georgia and went out on his own because he wanted to be his own boss, according to his daughter, Delores Stovall. He owned and operated Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company from 1977 until 2004. “He started the business in Stockbridge, Ga., in 1977. He truly enjoyed working with asphalt equipment, not so much the earthmoving machines. He wanted to sell his products to the counties and municipalities in the state of Georgia and over the years built that up to where he served most of them in some capacity. “When we were young, he was a salesman for chainsaw distributors. He started out in the chain saw business and we would tag along with him and we would watch him tear chainsaws apart and rebuild them, and that kept him on the road all over the southeast. He then

gravitated towards bigger machines with Burch-Lowe where he spent about 10 years. “He was loved by the contractors. He would go out with the road construction crews and actually do demonstrations. He had a pot hole patcher that he would take around and demo to the counties. He was extremely hands-on and enjoyed going out and meeting people and showing them how to run the equipment.” “Joe was respected throughout the state with paving contractors and county road departments for his honesty, integrity and knowledge of the equipment he represented,” Reynolds-Warren President Steve Meissen said on the company’s Facebook page. “Joe always took care of his customers, starting a tradition at ReynoldsWarren of great customer service which continues today.” “All along our desire has been to serve the asphalt paving and maintenance industry,” Mr. Reynolds said once in an interview. “We are not trying to be everything to everybody, and we are proud to be what people call a niche player specializing in asphalt equip-

ment. We have tried very hard to represent what we consider very good lines that service both the construction and municipal user.” Mr. Reynolds was a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church. He enjoyed farming his land in Blairsville and at home in Powder Springs, and shared that love with his children. “He taught me a lot about farming. How to run farm equipment. How to bale hay. He taught me a lot about both farming and gardening,” Stovall said. Mr. Reynolds is survived by four children: Brenda (Donnie) Ethridge, Marietta, Ga.; Dennis (Penny) Reynolds, Kennesaw, Ga.; Delores (Jimmy) Stovall, Dallas, Ga.; and Rebecca Farrow, Kennesaw, Ga; nine grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. He was preceded in death by his wife, Eva Reynolds, in 1997.

FDOT Provides Temporary Fix to Buckman Bridge Construction crews spent nearly nine hours trying to fix expansion joins on the Buckman Bridge in Jacksonville, Fla., following reports of damage the morning of May 27. The southbound lanes of the bridge were reopened late the same day after the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pulled construction crews who worked on temporary repairs to the roadway, reported First Coast News. Those same lanes of Interstate 295 from U.S. Highway 17 to the Buckman Bridge were blocked shortly after 7 a.m. after the Florida Highway Patrol received a call about possible damage to the span. When troopers arrived, they saw “an area of minor damage to the roadway,” which forced the closure. FDOT spokesperson Hampton Ray said damage was discovered in the expansion joints in one of the central segments of the bridge. “The finger joints are expansion joints, so when concrete heats up it expands, and when it gets colder it contracts. We expect it, it’s part of our construction process,” he explained. Additional permanent fixes will take place in the Immediately following the clo- coming weeks.

Large metal plates were put over the finger joints.

sure and the arrival of crews on the scene, sounds of construction could be heard from underneath the center of the bridge. The FDOT told First Coast News that to remedy the situation, large metal plates were put over the finger joints. The state agency added that the temporary fix will be safe for drivers until crews can permanently address what it calls a “routine maintenance issue.”

Additional permanent fixes will take place in the coming weeks, Ray reported to the news outlet. He also expects those repairs to take place during non-peak travel hours. “We know it was a real inconvenience for people driving to work this morning,” he noted May 27. “We don’t anticipate another full detour of the bridge; when we do a permanent fixture of this [bridge], it will be looked at as lane closures.” Most Jacksonville residents have a lovehate relationship with the Henry Holland Buckman Bridge. While it provides a vital artery to cross the St. Johns River to access Mandarin or Orange Park, many commuters that use the crossing believe it to be too congested and a dangerous area for crashes. The Buckman Bridge first opened to traffic in May 1970 and became a powerful influence on development on both sides of the river, according to First Coast News. That led to a needed expansion project of the 3.1-mi.-long bridge in the mid-1990s because its average daily traffic use had increased nearly 11-fold in 20 years. The project added two travel lanes and two safety lanes to each of the twin spans before being completed and fully reopened in January 1997. 

Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) president Dennis Slater issued the following statement in support of a bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill that calls for a historic investment in U.S. roads, highways and bridges. “The Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2021 reflects many of the policies that are vital to keeping equipment manufacturers competitive in the global economy and creating new jobs, new growth and new prosperity for all Americans. “We applaud Senators Carper, Capito, Cardin and Cramer’s leadership in securing this historic, bipartisan agreement to fund America’s roads, highways and bridges. Their tireless leadership will ensure Americans have the safe, reliable, and modern surface transportation system our economy needs. “This investment will also benefit U.S. equipment manufacturers and the 2.8 million men and women who build the equipment needed to make a 21st century infrastructure system a reality. This represents an important step forward in advancing the ongoing national debate about the future of U.S. infrastructure and we look forward to working with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives to get a bill to President’s desk as soon as possible.” U.S. Senators Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW); Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va), the committee’s ranking member; Ben Cardin (D-Md.), chairman of the EPW Subcommittee on Transportation Infrastructure; and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), the subcommittee’s ranking member, on May 22 announced the release of a bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill that will be marked up by the EPW Committee on May 26, 2021. The Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2021 sets a new baseline funding level at a historic high of $303.5 billion for Department of Transportation programs for highways, roads and bridges. This marks an increase of more than 34 percent from the last reauthorization to pass Congress, the FAST Act, in 2015. The prior authorization for surface transportation programs expired in 2020; Congress passed a one-year extension that will expire on Sept. 30, 2021. For more information, visit www.aem.org. 

HOF Class of 2021...

ARTBA Inducts Father-Son, Inventor Into Hall of Fame The father-and-son team of Louis and Frederic Berger, and three-signal traffic signal inventor Garrett A. Morgan are the 2021 inductees into the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Foundation’s Transportation Development Hall of Fame. They were honored, along with the 2019 and 2020 classes, during a May 18 event at ARTBA’s virtual Federal Issues Program. The Hall “honors individuals or families from the public and private sectors who have made extraordinary contributions to U.S. transportation development during their careers.” Nominees are considered in two categories: • Transportation Design & Construction Industry Leaders (Individuals or Families): Recognizes men, women and families who have made significant contributions — beyond just having successful businesses or careers — that have notably helped advance the interests and image of the transportation design, construction and safety industry. • Transportation Design & Construction Industry Innovators: Honors the men and women who discovered or created a “game changing” product or process that significantly advanced transportation design, construction and/or safety. It seeks to honor the original innovator. Leader (Family): Louis Berger (1914-1996), Frederic “Fred” Berger (1947-2015) “I am not interested in building a bridge just because someone says one is needed. I want to know if it is needed, and why, and where is the best place to put it. I want to know how the building of that bridge will change the lives of the people who use it. The question that the engineer in the modern world must answer is, how can he use his skills and knowledge to help solve the big social problems that confront our society? How can he be a part of his time and a part of the world in which he lives?” Louis Berger, 1968 In 1953, Berger established an engineering practice — The Louis Berger Group (now part of WSP) — with a handful of employees in a small Pennsylvania office. While the company’s initial focus was on soil mechanics and foundation engineering, Berger dreamed of a full-service global engineering firm. He succeeded with help from son Fredric (“Fred”) Berger. While Berger launched the company, Fred emerged as a leader in the policy arena, actively advocating for the engineering industry and its role in globalism. He advised policy makers at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

(UNESCO), eventually being named UNESCO Ambassador by then U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Fred also participated in trade missions to Afghanistan to encourage the redevelopment of the country, driven both by the company’s professional work in Afghanistan as well as his personal commitment to establishing the American University in Afghanistan (AUAF). Together, the Bergers created a company that came to include more than 5,000 employees spanning 70 countries, impacting countless communities through their work and industry and charitable commitments. Louis Berger, an alumnus of Tufts, bestowed the Louis Berger Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Berger Family Technology Transfer endowment at Tisch Library. He also endowed several programs at Northwestern University, MIT and the NJ Institute of Technology. Fred also helped establish the Berger Charitable Foundation to continue the educational and community development giving of the Berger family and company. His legacy bequest is the source of funding for the Foundation’s ongoing educational contributions. Innovators: Garrett A. Morgan Garrett A. Morgan was a man whose lifetime achievement is a model of dedication to public service, safety and technological innovation. The child of former slaves and born in Kentucky in 1877, Morgan became an innovator and successful businessman. Driving his Model T Ford through downtown Cleveland, Morgan witnessed a crash between a car and a buggy, which led him to invent and patent the first three-stage traffic signal in the United States. His traffic signal was mounted on a Tshaped pole. It had three different types of signals: stop, go and “stop in all directions” to allow pedestrians to cross streets more safely. Morgan eventually patented his device in Canada and Great Britain and sold it to General Electric for $40,000. His traffic signal, for which he received a patent in 1923, is considered a forerunner of modern intelligent transportation systems. Prior to his invention, most traffic signs in use had only two positions: stop and go. These manually operated two-position signals were an improvement over uncontrolled intersections, but because they allowed no interval between stop and go commands, collisions at busy intersections were common. Morgan’s third position halted traffic in all directions before vehicles proceeded on either of the intersection’s roads, thereby improving safety. 

AED Holds 2021 Summit, CONDEX Show in Las Vegas

John Lamprinakos (L), president of Screen Machine and Diamond Z, and Timothy Miller, director of inside sales, were on hand to present Diamond Z’s line of tub, horizontal and solid waste grinders and sister company Screen Machine’s portable jaw, impact and cone rock crushers, screening plants and trommels.

CONDEX opens with its formal ribbon cutting.

he 2021 AED Summit was held at the Mirage Casino and Resort in Las Vegas from May 24 to 26. The most obvious news at this year’s event was that the rules have changed and attendees could see each other’s faces with the relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions. For most in attendance, the last time they have been able to attend a public event had been just a little more than one year ago, at ConExpo in Las Vegas. The big buzz at this year’s AED event was the dwindling inventories and lack of availability of the industry’s lifeblood — equipment — and dealing with the stark reality that this situation is not going to change anytime in the near future. see AED page 60

Witzco Challenger, a Fla.-based manufacturer of lowboy trailers, was represented at AED by President Josh Weinstein (L) and Shami Jimenez, sales manager. AUSA, a global manufacturer of compact industrial vehicles for moving materials and road maintenance, displayed its line of machines to an interested crowd of attendees at AED. (L-R) are Regional Sales Manager Steve Paley, Ignasi Moner and Anthony Buccini, all of AUSA.

Cat 815 Soil Compactor Features Advanced Tech Upgrades The Cat 815 soil compactor features technology upgrades to help increase productivity and efficiency, so more area is compacted in less time on large earthworks projects. New machine designs and revised service groupings combine to cut maintenance costs up to 9 percent. With all components relocated from the cab roof to lower overall transport height, the redesigned operator’s cab upgrades the steering and climate controls to elevate comfort, according to the manufacturer. The Cat 815 is built for high-speed, high quality soil compaction with its four 39-in. (991-mm) wide steel drums. Drum design boasts a chevron pattern to the tamping tips, delivering high ground pressure and compaction, enhanced traction and smooth ride. A symmetrical tip pattern offers equal com-

paction effort in both forward and reverse, and the special tamper design reduces material fluffing. Adjustable cleaner bars eliminate material carryover regardless of rolling direction to maximize compaction efficiency. Technology Increases Productivity With the new 815 soil compactor, Cat Compact GPS mapping is now offered from the factory to provide visibility to compacted areas as well as cut and fill data. These new technologies allow companies to meet compaction targets quickly, uniformly and in fewer passes with the 815, saving on fuel and the costs associated with rework.

Operators are kept informed of compaction progress with Cat Compaction Control with Machine Drive Power (MDP). This energy-based measurement system correlates compaction with rolling resistance to indicate soil stiffness, improving compaction efficiency.

Real-time machine performance and operating data captured by the Vital Information Management System (VIMS) are conveniently monitored on the large, incab 3G touchscreen display. Accessed online via the VisionLink interface, Cat Link technology captures operating data such as

Revolutionizing Missouri’s Ditch Liners How 1,000 Lbs. of Spinning Metal Remade Ditch Liner Industry Near the Kansas City International Airport lies a welltraveled stretch of road that connects NE Cookingham Drive to I435. A 20-mi. jaunt separates the airport from downtown Kansas City, and while some drivers might make their way via the direct I-29 route, others choose the I-435 route that might take a little longer but sees less traffic. If drivers happened to take the Cookingham/I-435 route during late summer 2019, they may have caught a glimpse of an impressive road construction project and some never-before-seen equipment. The construction site was home to a 24ft.-wide, 1,000-lb. rolling tube of steel. And a real head-turner it was. Nature of Problem The onramp that connects Cookingham Drive to I-435 appears to the naked eye to be a standard ramp, but the positioning of the onramp and the surrounding area were causing headaches for the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). A field that runs parallel to the ramp often produces significant rainwater runoff that makes its way onto the onramp. In a usual case, rainwater and subsequent runoff don’t pose huge issues for highways and ramps, but this was a different story. Sedimentary dirt and debris filled the south side of the ditch and the onramp. As the ditch filled up with sediment and dirt carried by the runoff, the material would spill over onto the south lane of the onramp. This presented slippery, dangerous situations for drivers heading for the interstate at 55-60 mph. To combat the issue, MoDOT maintenance crews used heavyduty equipment to tackle the buildup, closing the onramp every few years to clear the ditch and roadway with skid steers, track hoes and several haul trucks. The last time they cleaned it, they shut down the onramp for two days to complete the cleaning. This method solved the problem temporarily but created headaches for drivers and a lot of unnecessary work for crews. MoDOT tried incorporating preshaped paved flumes to carry the

rainwater, but the flumes filled up just as quickly as the unpaved ditch and required just as much cleaning. MoDOT contemplated installing a rock-based lining, but research showed the quickly accumulating rainwater would likely carry the rocks away. MoDOT continued to search for a viable solution to address the maintenance problem and finally found a permanent answer as part of a large concrete patching job on the roadway. Search for Solution In the early summer of 2019, Realm Construction was subcontracted to patch the concrete on Cookingham Drive and the onramp to I-435. Russ Stark, manager of field operations, and his team specialize in concrete patchwork. They completed that portion of the job and then sat down to find a way to tackle the ditch liner, which was a concrete project they were less familiar with. Stark, who has worked for Realm for more than 11 years, needed to find a solution that would stay within the budget and the assigned timeframe. The mission was to essentially line the ditch with concrete, and Stark initially only knew of one conventional method to accomplish it. That method was to form the ditch in a sectional approach. This could be done either by pouring the

bottom concrete and pulling a tube or screed up by hand, or pouring it transverse — coming down the slope to the bottom and then back up. Crews would pour one 20-ft. bay, skip a 20-ft. area, pour another 20-ft. bay and so on. The next day, after the bays dried, crews could fill in the alternating empty areas. While this method is inexpensive and proven, it is time consuming and physically taxing. “If we approached this project the conventional way, we’d only be able to pour about four bays a day, which is 80 feet of ditch liner a day,” Stark said. “At that rate, the project would have taken us 15-20 days. I knew we could do it quicker than that.” Stark’s ultimate solution would include an approach that might end up with a higher initial equipment cost. But could that additional investment in equipment end up saving him time and money? Stark proposed commissioning a large metal flume drum from Curb Roller Manufacturing. The company is known for its hydraulic- and battery-powered concrete roller screeds, but also manufactures custom-sized rolling drums. The drums are commonly used for pouring streets, medians, v-gutters or flumes, and while the company prides itself on creating custom solutions, this drum exceeded the size of any created in the past.

“I had seen a ditch liner drum on a different project a year prior and asked the contractor — Clarkson Construction — who made it,” Stark said. “It was only about 14 feet wide and I knew we’d need something nearly double that size. But I thought it could work.” Curb Roller Manufacturing of Fairview, Kan., has been serving all industries from landscapers to government entities for more than 10 years. When Realm Construction approached them with the custom request, they were eager to engineer a solution. The contractors also were ready to begin the project, but delivering an oversized custom drum to a job site had its obstacles. First, Stark had to get approval from MoDOT to implement this unique equipment and process. He presented his case, highlighting the potential for a better finished product and a significantly improved timeline. Matt Daulton, MoDOT resident engineer of the project, reviewed Stark’s proposal and approved with one stipulation — using the Curb Roller couldn’t increase the overall cost of the project. “We try to encourage innovation on every project,” Daulton said. “I had never seen something like this, but our contractors and manufacturers in the industry often have new ideas and the best answers. So, we were open to it.” After gaining clearance from

MoDOT, Stark and his team had to work with the grading and excavation subcontractor who was preparing the ditch. The original design of the ditch, before implementing the Curb Roller idea, included varying widths and a flat bottom. This approach would save grading and excavating costs on a traditional concrete project, but the Curb Roller method would require a consistent width to successfully lay concrete. Stark was convinced that the extra cost in grading and excavating would make up for itself in the time savings down the line. “I knew that this would create a more uniform product, which would be easier for MoDOT maintenance to clean out,” Stark said. “The original cross section of the ditch had varying slope widths and lengths through the entire 1,600foot-long ditch liner. So, we had to get the grading team to adjust and create a consistent canvas for the concrete.” While the grading and excavating teams prepared the base, Stark worked with Curb Roller Manufacturing to design and craft the perfect flume drum. What a Drum It Was Kraig Pyle, general manager of Curb Roller Manufacturing, worked with Stark throughout the planning process. While the company specializes in custom drums, it had never designed something of this magnitude before. “We had designed drums as long and as large in diameter, but never with this kind of combination,” Pyle said. “This was so impressive because it had such a large pan and slope wings. We know the capabilities of our product and we were confident taking on this challenge. We knew that with a few adjustments and alterations, we could pull this off and save the contractor time and labor.” Stark officially submitted his order to Curb Roller Manufacturing: a 24- ft. wide, 1,000-lb. hollow rolling flume drum. He calculated the required slope of the sides of the ditch according to MoDOT requirements. Each wing section of the see DITCH page 40

drum was 8 ft. wide, with an 8- ft. flat pan section in the middle. The drum was 52 in. in diameter with 4:1 backslopes. Since the ditch liner itself is 2 ft. deep, they achieved a 25-degree rise by implementing a 1- ft. drop for every 4- ft. run. Pyle sent Stark a design of the product, which he promptly approved. The company delivered the drum to the job site just five days later. Time to Roll By the time the drum arrived on the job site, the Realm Construction team had prepared the first section of the pour with forms, fabric and reinforcement. Not knowing exactly how quickly the pours would go or how much progress they’d make, the team prepared 500 ft. of forms. Also onsite was a Takeuchi TL10 compact track loader that provided hydraulic power for the spinning drum, as well as a Telebelt telescopic belt conveyor to place the concrete. The team modified the conveyor to lay the concrete in front of the tube. They began pouring the concrete — a MoDOT hand-finished paving mix with a predetermined slump calculation. “We were allowed to go to 5inch slump, but we aimed for a 3.5inch slump because of the slope,” Stark said. “We had more of a problem getting it too wet, which is ok because we just let it dry out.” The wet concrete problem —

which can be common on projects like this — wasn’t the only issue during the first day of pouring. “We got the flume all set up and moving it forward wasn’t a problem,” Stark said. “The only problem seemed to be related to the power source. The drum was binding up, but Kraig was on-site and he was determined to figure out a way to make it work efficiently.” The team poured 60 yds. and had to stop to address the power source. “A very simple problem quickly became apparent,” Pyle said. “We had improperly sized the control valve to the upsized motor to handle the larger drum. This restriction in the smaller valve was causing the loader to overheat. A larger prototype valve we had in the works reduced the back pressure and restriction, alleviating the overheating that was happening.” After Pyle figured out a solution for the power source issues, Stark and his team had to configure the dispersing of the material. This process presented its own set of issues. “We tried placing the Telebelt chute right in front of the tube to move the material forward,” Stark said. “When it was right up against the tube like that, it ended up spraying the guys like crazy. We moved it ahead and found that the ideal spacing was about 6 feet ahead of the drum. This allowed the majority to be placed onto the bottom and the excess fed up onto the sides. Not only did this work better, but our guys were a lot happier because they didn’t go home looking like a sidewalk.”

Curb Roller Manufacturing specifically designs products to get workers into a more comfortable concrete pulling position, instead of being on their hands and knees. If the crews had done the whole project by hand, there would have been an increased potential for injuries along the way.

Once everything was dialed in and set to the perfect speed, distance and power, the Realm Construction team was on a roll. They poured 400 to 450 linear ft. of concrete a day for the next three days, with virtually no roadblocks or issues. Despite the delays near the beginning of the project, they completed the project more than a week ahead of schedule. Combating Fatigue By implementing the Curb Roller method instead of one of the traditional hand-pouring options, the crews finished early and spared themselves the physical fatigue that would have resulted from doing work on their hands and knees. If the crews had done the whole project by hand, there would have been an increased potential for neck, knee and back injuries along the way. Since concrete work is already a physically taxing job, Curb Roller Manufacturing specifically designs products to get workers off their hands and knees into a more comfortable concrete pulling position. Running the Curb Roller drum involved two workers pulling and guiding the drum, a few guiding the concrete to the correct place, and a few finishing the concrete with channel mops. While the drum is designed to bring the “cream and fat” to the surface and push aggregate down, it still required a final hand screed to seal the concrete. By completing the project in

essentially three pours, the team was not only able to save time and physical labor, they also created a higher-quality product. With a traditional method and many sections of concrete pours, dowels would have been required in each bay to tie them back to one another. While incorporating dowels creates a sturdy project, it’s certainly not as uniform or smooth as the threepour approach with the Curb Roller. “If they’d done this by hand, the quality and consistency goes way down,” Daulton said. “Since they did it in three large pours, it created a monolithic, uniform product.” Proven By Profit With a traditional method, the process could have cost roughly $60,000 in labor. On a 15-day project with a 10-man crew costing roughly $400/day per worker, the cost is significant. With the same calculations on the Curb Roller six-day custom drum method, the labor cost equates to roughly $24,000 — a 40 percent savings in cost and more than 720 hours of saved man-power. While there were additional costs throughout the project — purchasing the custom drum, renting the Telebelt, etc. — Stark said they still ended up under budget on the project. “Everyone involved came out on top,” Stark said. “MoDOT got a higher-quality product in less time and with less traffic disruption. We saved time and money on the overall project, making it a more profitable venture. And Curb Roller

had the opportunity to test the limits of their drums.” Double Take Worthy On a project such as this, it’s no surprise that everyone involved was curious about the process. Workers, supervisors and even those driving by were spotted taking photos or video of the impressive setup. All of the contractors, manufacturers and MoDOT people involved kept a close eye on the project and were impressed with the equipment throughout. “This was a real partnership, and we were more than pleased with the end result,” Daulton said. “We’ve worked with Realm Construction in the past, so I trusted their judgement when Russ said he had a new idea. We got a better final product, and they were able to decrease their cost and share some of that with us.” The MoDOT maintenance team perhaps benefits most from the final product, since it makes their cleanup efforts a much simpler job. The team uses a skid steer to clear the ditch after every significant rainfall, and best of all it doesn’t require any lane closure or traffic disruption. The project showcased everyone’s ingenuity; it highlighted MoDOT’s judgement, the contractor’s ability to think outside the box, and the manufacturer’s highquality product. All parties agree, this project was a win-win-win. For more information, visit curbroller.com. 

The use of the Lutec Comicat CM 140 proved to be the right tool when Molson Coors needed to replace a floor at its Toronto facility.

Molson Coors needed to repurpose the concrete floor at its Toronto brewing facility. Besides the floor being 20 years old, the company wanted to convert the property from a production facility complete with bottle washer, filler and pasteurizer that drain onto sloped floors into a warehouse. Approximately 35,000 sq. ft. of concrete flooring needed to be removed from the 60,000-sq.-ft. facility and the sloped floors needed to be milled to prepare for new concrete to be placed back at a level grade. Site Manager Wayne Nyhuis considered redoing the floor in the same manner when he replaced a similar floor 15 years ago. At the time, they used a grinder. “It was messy,” said Nyhuis. Meanwhile, Tyler Thompson, vice president of construction at Ross and Anglin, attended the Canadian Concrete Expo in The Lutec Comicat CM 140 uses a 31-piece milling tool to mill up February 2020 and met Christoph Ott, of to 3 in. deep and 14 in. wide in a single pass.

Wirtgen’s WPS 62i Placer/Spreader Takes Lead On Concrete Paving Train When road surfaces and paths are paved over preplaced reinforcing steel, the concrete can often only be supplied from the side. Wirtgen’s WPS 62i/WPS 62 placer/spreader is a practical choice for this application. As the first machine in the Wirtgen paving train, it travels over the reinforcement in front of the slipform paver and texture curing machine. A truck feeds the concrete from the side, which the placer/spreader then evenly distributes over the entire working surface. The WPS 62i/WPS 62 is available with two different scraping units: in imperial units with working widths between 12 and 24 ft. and in metric units with working widths from 4.00 to 7.5 m. With both of them, the concrete can be laid up to 20 in. (50 cm) thick. Maximum Machine Availability Due to Flexible Conversion Due to the hydraulically telescoping machine frame and concrete scraper unit, the 2-track placer/spreader can be easily adapted to any job site situation. Due to its

fully modular design with standard hydraulic quick-change couplings, the WPS 62i/WPS 62 also can be easily converted and quickly prepared for transport to the next location. Standardized Operating Concept — for Entire Wirtgen Paving Train Operators also benefit from simple, standardized operation of the entire paving train. This is because Wirtgen’s development experts have applied the same operating used on the current series of slipform pavers and texture curing machines for the WPS 62i/WPS 62. 

The cab sits on isolation mounts and features a new Premium Plus seat with leather finish, forced air heating and cooling, two-way thigh adjustment, power lumbar and back bolster adjustment, and dynamic end dampening for total comfort throughout the workday. A flip-up armrest affords easier ingress/egress to the cab. Pressurized to keep debris out, the cab features an automatic climate control system that maintains the operator’s preferred temperature settings. Its sealed design lowers interior sound levels to improve operator comfort. The standard rearview camera is conveniently visible on the in-cab display to improve operator visibility when compacting in reverse. Lower Maintenance Costs Up to 9 Percent The new 815 soil compactor features improved airflow technology to reduce cleaning and maintenance. A new radi-

Access to the emergency shutdown, battery disconnect and jump start are quickly and conveniently accessed from ground level. Heavy-duty main structures are built to be rebuilt, offering multiple life cycles to lower total cost of ownership for the new 815. Heat-treated and direct-hardened, the adjustable cleaner bar tips deliver increased wear life with lower operating costs. The durable

tamping tips deliver a long life and are replaceable. Proven, Smooth Power The Cat 815 soil compactor is powered by the field-proven Cat C7.1 engine designed for maximum fuel economy, reliable performance and increased power density. Two engine package options are available — U.S. EPA Tier IV Final/EU Stage V and Tier III/Stage IIIA equivalent — for meeting local market emission standard requirements. Automatic engine and electric system shutdown controls reduce unnecessary idling to lower fuel consumption. Its Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) transmission control delivers improved shifting performance, achieves greater momentum on grades and saves on fuel by carrying that momentum through shift points.

Beating the Big Boys Due to its compact size, the Comicat CM 140 could move unhindered around the facility. Its use also allowed normal operations to proceed at most of the site. “We had used a grinder and milling machines in the past. The machines are bigger and less maneuver, and they don’t mill any faster than the Comicat CM 140. Also, the Comicat CM 140 doesn’t get damaged when it hits rebar, but other milling equipment would damage if it hits rebar.” Nyhuis also had one time used a Fifty employees work at the Sakai America facility in Adairsville, Ga.

Freight bottlenecks cost the U.S. economy more than $42 billion in 2019 — a hidden tax on the American people that is only likely to increase as the country fully opens, according to a review of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) data. The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) study, “Throttled: The Economic Costs of Freight Bottlenecks,” also shows that freight shipments suffered almost 660 million hours of delay on the nation’s roadways. “Our examination brings into sharp focus the continued costs of congestion on America’s highway network,” said ARTBA Chief Economist Alison Premo Black. “Legislation to address freight mobility through increased federal transportation investment would help alleviate these bottlenecks, increase business productivity and power the economy for the next generation.” Among key findings: • New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, Houston, Nashville, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia and Atlanta are among cities hardest hit by freight bottlenecks. • The cost of congestion on the Interstate Highway System alone has grown 25 percent over the last two years — from $12 billion in 2017 to more than $15 billion in 2019. • The cost of congestion on the top 10 bottlenecks increased by 11 percent in just one year — from $761.8 million in 2018 to $848.4 million in 2019. • 26 states face $500 million or more in congestion costs annually. • Highway freight shipments experienced more than 658,854,025 million hours of delay in 2019, with more than one-third of those hours (36 percent) on the Interstate Highway System. FHWA calculates the delay per mile to quantify the cost of bottlenecks across major corridors and compares performance from year to year. Almost 73 percent of the value of domestic freight is shipped via truck and the value of truck shipments is expected to more than double by 2045, according to ARTBA’s analysis of FHWA’s data.

lizes two Terramac RT14R crawler carriers. “I enjoy being able to do something good for the environment by engineering with mother nature to fix some of the existing problems with our streams and wetlands,” said Westmoreland. “It’s rewarding to take something that’s in bad shape and not functioning the way mother nature intended and restore it back to its natural state. Our goal is to restore the ecosystem to a state where the public would never be able to tell it was touched by man.” A majority of North State Environmental’s projects are in sensitive ecological locations that require detailed work. “We’re not like most bulk earthmoving companies,” explained Westmoreland. “We’re building habitats for different species of plants and animals, which requires operators that can fine grade within a tenth of an inch. “At our Big Run job site and a lot of our other projects, we’re working close to the water table and flood plain areas,” noted Westmoreland. “Because of that, we prefer high floatation equipment with low ground pressure tracks. That’s where the Terramac machines come into play. Conventional earthmoving equipment will sink in these conditions, whereas the Terramacs allow us to keep our earthwork operations and projects moving forward. “The particular model we use is a Terramac RT14R,” continued Westmoreland. “We like the ‘R’ series, which are

rotating units, because they allow us to move around in tight areas where we don’t want to spin the tracks. We prefer to use the rotation so that we can drive into an area where we’re working, spin 180 degrees, dump or load material, then spin the truck back and drive out.” Westmoreland’s son, Operator Daniel Westmoreland, appreciates the technology on the RT14R crawler carrier. “The controls inside the cab and features of the machine make it top-of-the-line. Everything is joystick controlled, which means there’s no foot play or other distracting controls. By putting buttons at the operator’s fingertips and simplifying the joystick movements, the machine is easy and efficient to operate.” Dealer support plays an important role in North State Environmental’s decision to partner with Terramac. “Our trusted Terramac dealer is Linder Industrial Machinery, and they’ve provided excellent service and support for us,” stated Westmoreland. “Through Linder, we’ve had the opportunity to work with Terramac one-on-one, tour their factory and facilities, and talk to their team about parts and ideas to keep the machines running efficiently. Working with a dealer that stands behind their equipment and believes in the product is one of the most important things I consider when looking at equipment, and it’s clear both Linder and Terramac fully back their product.” 

Linder Industrial Machinery is North State Environmental’s Terramac dealer.

of 2021 Agreement Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) president Dennis Slater issued the following statement in support of a bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill that calls for a historic investment in U.S. roads, highways and bridges. “The Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2021 reflects many of the policies that are vital to keeping equipment manufacturers competitive in the global economy and creating new jobs, new growth and new prosperity for all Americans. “We applaud Senators Carper, Capito, Cardin and Cramer’s leadership in securing this historic, bipartisan agreement to fund America’s roads, highways and bridges. Their tireless leadership will ensure Americans have the safe, reliable, and modern surface transportation system our economy needs. “This investment will also benefit U.S. equipment manufacturers and the 2.8 million men and women who build the equipment needed to make a 21st century infrastructure system a reality. This represents an important step forward in advancing the ongoing national debate about the future of U.S. infrastructure and we look forward to working with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives to get a bill to President’s desk as soon as possible.” U.S. Senators Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW); Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va), the committee’s ranking member; Ben Cardin (D-Md.), chairman of the EPW Subcommittee on Transportation Infrastructure; and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), the subcommittee’s ranking member, on May 22 announced the release of a bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill that will be marked up by the EPW Committee on May 26, 2021. The Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2021 sets a new baseline funding level at a historic high of $303.5 billion for Department of Transportation programs for highways, roads and bridges. This marks an increase of more than 34 percent from the last reauthorization to pass Congress, the FAST Act, in 2015. The prior authorization for surface transportation programs expired in 2020; Congress passed a one-year extension that will expire on Sept. 30, 2021. For more information, visit www.aem.org. 

New Facility Puts Parman’s Operation Under One Roof With the top priority being on our patrons, we introduced Parman’s rally cry of ‘Totally Outrageous Customer Service’ and strive daily to make the experience of doing business with us a pleasurable one.” With its extensive inventory of parts and knowledgeable parts professionals, Parman Tractor & Equipment is a leading company that stocks construction equipment components in middle Tennessee. It ships parts each day to contractors across the Volunteer State and to customers in neighboring states, as well. The full-service Parman dealership

based capabilities on the shoulders of what Cumberland had established. In 2021, Parman Tractor & Equipment distributes several manufacturers of construction machines and tools, including Link-Belt, Takeuchi, New Holland Construction, Hitachi, Epiroc, Sakai asphalt rollers, Bushhog and Woods, among others. Takeuchi Excavators Latest Line of Equipment Shortly after the distributor began operations in 2019, Takeuchi became the newest equipment maker to join forces with Parman. As a result, the dealer now provides sales, service, parts and rental of Takeuchi’s construction model lines to contractors within its territories. Those lines include Takeuchi’s full catalog of building machines, including excavators, skid steers, track loaders and wheel loaders. Recently, Parman Tractor & Equipment was recognized nationally as Takeuchi’s “North American Dealer with [the] Largest Market Share Growth.” “This recognition reinforces that we are doing business the right way and our growth efforts are paying off,” said Colin Hockenberger, general manager of the Nashville dealership. He explained that 90 percent of Parman Tractor & Equipment’s revenues come from the construction segment of the business, which sells and rents small, compact and mid-size machines up to the 80,000-lb. Link-Belt excavators. “Takeuchi and Link-Belt are where we are at our strongest and they are our largest offerings,” Hockenberger said.

Shortly after the distributor began operations in 2019, Takeuchi became the newest equipment maker to join forces with Parman. As a result, the dealer now provides sales, service, parts and rental of Takeuchi’s construction model lines to contractors within its territories.

Cutting Edge Facility Now Open After more than a year of construction, accompanied by pandemic-related delays, Parman moved into its new, 20,000-sq.-ft. Nashville facility in November 2020 on the same property that had previously been the home of Cumberland. “We had been operating from three separate buildings that had once been a dairy farm and was in dire need of an upgrade,” said Crichton. “Now, we have our parts, service and sales departments all under the same roof. The new building affords us with ample office space to go along with a new retail area for parts and plenty of storage for parts inventory. Our 12-bay service shop is completely connected, and we can boast of having a 7-ton crane that covers the entire shop. Also, our service department customers can now receive expedited repairs with the latest tools

and resources.” He added that Parman Energy Group installed a centralized lubrication system with 30 lube reels throughout the entire dealership shop, providing customers with premium Chevron ISOCLEAN lubricants. All In the Name of Customer Satisfaction Colin Hockenberger noted that the new and expansive Parman facility represents the main addition to the distributor’s customerdriven capabilities, although it is certainly not the only one. “While we primarily offer the same services [that Cumberland did], we are always looking for ways to improve our business,” he said. “We have also invested in additional equipment, information technology [IT] infrastructure and added new positions to further support our customers.

Parman Tractor & Equipment distributes several manufacturers, including Sakai asphalt rollers.

employs a total of 33 people, six of whom are in management and administration. It also has a four-person sales force, another seven in the rental department, six operating behind the parts counter and 10 technicians working in the service bays. “We have some employees that have been with the company for over 20 years, and, overall, we have an average employee tenure of seven years,” Hockenberger said. “The industry knowledge that our employees possess is impressive and our customers can see that in the services we provide.” For more information, call 615/865-7800, or visit www.parmantractor.com.  CEG

Equipment Industry Professionals Gather for Annual Summit, Discussion AED from page 34

Equipment distributors are being faced with difficult decisions on how to manage their current inventories of new equipment and rental fleets. Another major topic of discussion was the infrastructure bill currently being worked on in Washington, D.C., and whether or not a compromise is in the making. AED

One of the industry’s innovators in online equipment auctions, bidadoo, is represented (L-R) by Mark Hanson, vice president of sales; Howard Hawk, president; and Frank Wilson, vice president of operations.

brought in local Congresswoman Dina Titus (D), who expressed considerable optimism that a compromise bill was indeed in the making, which ordinarily would only have a positive spin for the industry. However, it only increased some concerns as to how the equipment for a major infrastructure rebuilding program would be supplied.

Going up and down the site, by myself, I can do it all in one day. I am not employing multiple machines and guys on site trying to get it perfect again.”

Pavement Award The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA) announced that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has won a Perpetual Pavement Award (PPA). The 2020 award is for a 3.012-mi. section of a two-lane roadway on State Road 40 in Marion County that was originally constructed in 1954. This is the 11th PPA in as many years for FDOT. To qualify for this prestigious award, a pavement must be at least 35 years old and never experienced a structural failure. The average interval between the resurfacing of the winning pavement must be no less than 13 years. The pavement must demonstrate the characteristics expected from long-life asphalt pavements: excellence in design, quality in construction and value for the traveling public. Engineers at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) evaluated the nominations and validated the winners. This 66-year-old award-winning section of SR 40 extends from milepost 23.528 to milepost 26.540 in Marion County. The original construction consisted of 12 in. of stabilized subgrade, 6 in. of lime rock base, and 1 in. of a Type II asphalt mixture, followed by a 0.5-in. asphalt surface treatment. In 1983, the roadway was overlayed with a 0.5-in. Type II leveling course, 1 in. of Type S structural asphalt mix, and a 1-in. FC-4 friction course. In 2004, it was resurfaced again, when it was milled to a depth of 2 in., followed by the placement of 2 in. of a Type SP Superpave asphalt mixture, and a 1.5-in. FC-6 friction course. From the project’s original construction in 1954, the total thickness of the pavement has increased 4 in. Today the road has a traffic count of 8,400 vehicles per day, with 11 percent trucks. The road has performed well during its 66 years of use. As the resurfacing intervals were at 29 and 21 years, it easily meets the criteria for a PPA. “Reliable infrastructure is a critical component to keeping our state moving and economy growing, and Florida continues to lead the nation in transportation infrastructure durability and condition,” said FDOT Secretary Kevin J. Thibault. “FDOT is proud to receive its 11th Perpetual Pavement Award, recognizing the long life of State Road 40 in Marion County, which accommodates more than 1,000 heavy trucks and an additional 7,400 vehicles per day.” “One key indicator of quality in construction is a smooth, long-life pavement,” said Amy Miller, national director of the APA. “Long-life asphalt pavements serve the community, reduce the money needed for maintenance and conserve raw materials, ultimately leading to a truly sustainable structure that exemplifies the triple bottom line. “Asphalt roads can be engineered to last indefinitely with only routine maintenance and periodic surface renewal. Perpetual pavements use fewer natural resources and offer road owners and users what they want most — an economical, smooth pavement that serves the community for decades.” The Asphalt Pavement Alliance is a coalition of the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the Asphalt Institute, and the state asphalt pavement associations. The Asphalt Pavement Alliance’s mission is to establish asphalt as the preferred choice for quality, performance and the environment. For more information, visit www.driveasphalt.org. 

NCDOT’s $360M I-40 Project Involves Replacing 12 Bridges

NCDOT photo

The $360 million I-40 project was designed to help ease congestion and delays, make travel safer throughout the area and better accommodate motorists due to future growth.

Main materials required are concrete, ABC stone, asphalt, soil and steel. The estimated quantity of dirt/material to be moved on the project is 1,450,000 cu. yds.

work zone leaves drivers with little room to compensate and make corrective maneuvers.” Lane closures, road closures and hauling operations must be completed during hours of the day with lower traffic volumes, and the best time to do this is during the night or on weekends. Standard day shifts are daylight hours Monday through Friday, with some Saturday work. Night shift is typically 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday through Friday nights. “Traffic is the biggest challenge on project,” said Bullock. “With the amount of daily traffic passing through the work zone, the project has to be prepared to complete nighttime work promptly, in order to remove traffic control devices each morning to ensure a safe work zone. The amount of traffic volume also limits the scheduling options for the contractor, restricts hauling of materials to and from the project and increases the amount of time to safely complete operations. Traffic shifts throughout the project take significant planning to ensure their success.” Bullock noted that most operations are ongoing, although some in a more limited capacity than others, due to weather. “Utilities are being moved, water and sewer installation is

to regional commuting patterns, particularly during morning and evening rush hours. “With Raleigh and Research Triangle Park serving as employment centers for the region, many people commute into the Raleigh area and live in outlying towns and surrounding counties. This section of I-40 serves suburban communities in Wake and Johnston counties, and also connects to the I-95 corridor. In addition, this leg of I-40 ultimately serves as a primary route to the North Carolina beaches, and during the summer months tends to experience heavy traffic volumes around the weekends.” An estimated 35.6 million vehicles traveled the roadway in 2015, causing congestion and frequent delays, especially in the morning and afternoon rush hours. By the year 2040, traffic is projected to increase 65 percent, with conditions particularly worsening around the I-40/N.C. 42 interchange, due to a significant increase in residential and commercial growth. “Over the last 10 years, North Carolina has consistently been identified as one of the fastest growing states,” said Hopkins. “If we want to continue to be a place that people

want to work and live, it’s important that our infrastructure keep up with this growth.” S.T. Wooten serves as the general contractor of the project. “S.T. Wooten is an award-winning North Carolina contractor, with nearly 70 years of experience in heavy highway construction,” said Hopkins. “Their experience with similar projects helped to make them an ideal prime contractor for this complicated interstate widening project. “Crews constructed a temporary ramp from a bridge on East Garner Road to facilitate hauling operations in the median of I-40. This ramp allowed more than 21,000 truckloads of material to be delivered directly to the median, without having to access I-40. By doing this, the contractor was able to continue hauling during times of higher traffic volume, but without the impact to the motoring public.” According to Robert Bullock, NCDOT resident engineer in charge of the project, lane closures are limited to nighttime hours, when traffic is significantly lower to mitigate delays as much as possible. “The contractor is required to and has maintained the same number of travel lanes throughout construction. The project has created some traffic shifts along I-40. Motorists are coping well with the construction, as no lanes have been reduced. Motorists continue to be encouraged to pay extra attention to the roadway while driving through the work zone, as barrier wall throughout the project protects both the traveling public and workers, but limits the available shoulder area available for vehicles. Distracted driving through the

What Can Contractors Do to Protect Company Data, Assets? HACKERS from page 1

How It Happens In early May, Colonial Pipeline suffered a ransomware cyberattack that impacted computerized pipeline management equipment. The pipeline originates in Houston, Texas, and carries gasoline and jet fuel mainly to the southeastern United States. Colonial Pipeline Company halted all of the pipeline’s operations and paid the requested ransom of nearly $5 million within several hours after the attack. The hackers then sent Colonial Pipeline a software application to restore their network. It was determined to be the largest cyberattack in U.S. history on oil infrastructure. In 2019, two white-hat hackers selling security software from Japan-based Trend Micro proved how easy it would be to hack a construction crane. With permission from machinery owners, while sitting in their car, the two hacked cranes and other construction machinery at 14 different sites in Italy. The cranes’ vulnerability lies in their communication systems, which connect machine to controller. According to wonderfulengineering.com, “the simplicity of the hack signifies just how disastrous it can be if the cranes were to be hacked with malicious intent.” The two Trend Micro staffers believe the damage could vary from theft and extortion to sabotage and injury. Attacking the Benign Equipment rental company BigRentz came up with a list of 15 surprisingly hackable items used every day. The company attributes the ease of hacking to the Internet. “Now, the Internet of Things has made it possible to hack items you may never even realize were hackable,” the company wrote. “Hackers can infiltrate everything from trucks and equipment to building heating systems and even your office coffee pot.” And, the article noted, RFID tags and sensors have made shipping containers and boxes of inventory vulnerable. “Generally, the more places you store data, the more risk it presents,” said Ahmed. “The more parties that have access to that info, the more risk you have.”

So, connecting a device to a machine, being near that machine to access data, then uploading that data into the Cloud creates vulnerabilities. Once in The Cloud, it can be exposed to an attack from the dealer’s or owner’s computer. “The less places data lives, the safer it is,” said Ahmed. “But that’s kind of impractical in today’s world where people want data from anywhere.” The company has developed an AI guidance system, hardware and software that lives on the equipment. For example, it can be mounted on the back of an excavator so it runs autonomously. The system is fully wired to The Cloud or the Internet. Data can be accessed remotely through the Internet, but the system is closed, which means it’s not tied to a network. Built Robotics believes in encrypting data to make it as safe as possible to ensure less worry, Ahmed said. Infiltrating Construction Beyond car keys and coffee pots, BigRentz noted building cameras, office printers, security systems and smart refrigerators are vulnerable. In the construction industry, GPS systems, drones, wearables and heavy machinery can be hacked. “To get into a piece of heavy equipment, it has to be a new model,” said Ahmed. Older machines that don’t involve sophisticated computer technology are generally safe in this regard. More industrial types of machines are being ransomed because they’re very expensive, Ahmed noted. Newer models record location info along with metrics on that particular unit, such as fuel levels, cycle times, operating hours, distance traveled. “At first glance, it doesn’t seem like revealing info, but that depends on what the hacker wants to do with the data,” he said, adding that location data is most critical. BIM software is commonly used these days. Key questions users ask of it most often is “where’s my machine?” “is it on?” and “is it operating?” Ahmed said “that’s what owners and operators, and thus hackers, care about.” Most popular drone models can be taken over by a hacker who can then lock out the owner, preventing them from regaining control. “Once the hacker has control of

Drones can be hijacked by hackers who can lock out the owner and preventing him or her from regaining control of the device. Hackers can steal, crash or use a drone to damage other equipment on the job site.

the drone, they can steal it, crash it or use it to damage other equipment on the site,” noted BigRentz. If hacked, wearables can tell an attacker the crew’s comings and goings and allow access to protected files, such as blueprints and site worker credentials. “In places like airports, city skyscrapers or government buildings, a hacker could sell information gained via wearables to criminals, leaving the location vulnerable to physical attack,” said BigRentz. In the Trend Micro crane-hacking demonstration, the two researchers noted that a hacker could steal equipment, use it to cause damage to property or people or even for extortion. And those are the obvious direct damages. More costly can be indirect losses, noted Secuvent, a cyber threat analytics and risk advisory service based in Salt Lake City, Utah. “As dealers, once the knowledge of compromised information is known in the marketplace, customers tend to shift their business elsewhere, and the dealers’ brand name suffers long term,” the company noted in a blog. “As manufacturers, delays up to multiple weeks are detrimental to an organization’s ability to deliver products on time and ruin an organization’s timelines.” Other indirect costs are the breach of intellectual property, such as blueprints or schematics; the leaking of sensitive data associated with an organization’s competitive advantage, such as their bid data and strategy; and losses related to the sabotaging of autonomous or precision farming equipment. “These indirect costs typically affect agriculture and construction equipment organizations disproportionately, compared with other industries,” the company noted. While larger manufacturers and

dealers are better equipped and have more resources, they are only as prepared as the capabilities and strength in business understanding they have in place, believes Secuvent. Smaller manufacturers, suppliers and dealers normally have fewer resources available for cybersecurity. An intrusion can be more devastating if it leads to the business’s entire closure. Defending Yourself Ahmed of Built Robotics reminds contractors there are basic common-sense actions they can take, the same advice given to prevent personal info from being stolen: Choose strong passwords and practice good data hygiene as a dealer, end user or manufacturer. Make sure your data is encrypted. Monitor unusual connections to servers from people trying to break in. “Hackers will try, so we have to have ways to keep an eye on those things.” It’s all a part of being proactive, he said. BigRentz said if you can register your device with the manufacturer, make sure you do. “This will put you on the mailing list that companies use when they roll out security upgrades after they become aware of a new hack their product might be vulnerable to.” Then, said the equipment provider, make sure you stay up-to-date on all patches and install them as soon as they are released. “Most hackers find their targets using a search engine that returns lists of IoT-connected devices in a particular area.” Hackers will search for the type of device they’re targeting and look for any that haven’t upgraded their security recently. So, if you frequently install security patches, you’re unlikely to appear on the list of vulnerable devices the

hackers will target, said BigRentz. “Finally, any equipment that you don’t use frequently, consider renting on a case-by-case basis instead.” Each Internet-connected item that resides on your work site or in your warehouse is a potential point of entry for a hacker to access your entire network. “By limiting the number of machines you own, you lower the possible points of entry hackers can use and make yourself and your firm more secure.” Built Robotics’ heavy machinery works within a geofence. Ahmed said that keeps it safe within a certain area. It helps, too, to know what your state requires in the way of equipment registration and proof of ownership. You can take advantage of these laws. For example, “theft can be difficult in California, because all heavy machines have an identification number on them,” said Ahmed. “So even if you could steal a machine, it might be hard to resell.” What the Future Holds Ahmed stressed that the hacking threat to construction equipment is pretty small for the time being. He said he knows of no public cases of it happening on a large scale. “We consider it a minor occurrence, and it has been for a while. The number of people affected by hacking is related to how likely something might be hacked,” he said. “Because there aren’t as many machines as there are cars or trucks, we don’t see a focus on construction equipment right now.” He said heavy machinery manufacturers are devoting resources to working on autonomous technology. It’s been in place since the 1990s in the mining industry. “Mining is ahead of construction in that regard. But construction is a more dynamic environment.” And he suggested the next security dilemma may be even more critical. Beyond autonomous machines and industrial vehicles, there are bricklaying robots and rebar-tying robots. “What happens when these robots start talking to each other? It brings in another security layer.” Be proactive, said BigRentz. “The best way to defend against an attack is to educate yourself on your own devices and learn how hackers might be able to target them.” 

Ron DeSantis’ signing of the state’s budget, and through support from the Legislature, Florida is continuing to fund key transportation initiatives that enhance safety across the transportation system and embrace innovative solutions to increase mobility as Florida continues to grow.

Thibault. “The investments made during this Legislative Session will bolster communities as they recover, keep Florida’s economy thriving, and continue to position Florida as a nationwide leader in transportation.” The final budget includes: $9.44 billion for the department’s Work Program and debt service • $2.8 billion for highway construction to include 210 new lane miles
