Mark Zishka. “We had to regularly go out and make repairs on the trusses. They were high maintenance bridges that we wanted to get off the system as soon as possible. Our maintenance crews were doing maintenance and often it came right before rush hour and created a lot of problems for commuters.” The crews didn’t exactly blow up the truss bridges, but rather set the charges and dropped them straight down. The tricky part

progress on the project,” said Kenna Carmon, ODOT division eight public information officer. Becco Contractors Inc. of Tulsa won the bid for the job and began work in July 2015. It included the removal of two truss bridges over Bird Creek originally built in 1960. “The Bird Creek bridges were in very poor condition,” said ODOT construction engineer

Seven western state departments of transportation claimed awards in a national competition highlighting excellence in projects that have improved travel safety, reduced roadway congestion and provided more mobility options. The Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, known as WASHTO,

announced the winners at its conference in Laramie, Wyo. WASHTO’s membership includes 18 western states and is the second of four regional groups naming recipients of this year’s “America’s Transportation Awards”. Now in its ninth year, the competition — which is sponsored by the American Association of State

Highway and Transportation Officials, the AAA motor club and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — recognizes the best transportation projects in three categories and sizes: • Quality of Life/Community Development • Best Use of Innovation • Under Budget. see WASHTO page 17

Sundt Construction…

New Mexico Veterans’ Home Celebrates ‘Topping Out’ Sundt Construction Inc. and New Mexico Veterans’ Home officials celebrated the “topping out” of the hospital’s new Alzheimer’s and Skilled Nursing facility in Truth or Consequences, N.M. More than 100 people attended the event commemorating the last major milestone before construction is complete in early 2017. The State of New Mexico selected Sundt as the general contractor for the $23.5 million project, which includes the construction of a new 86,000-sq.-ft. (7,990

sq m) residential development featuring a 39-bed special care Alzheimer’s unit and a 20-bed skilled nursing section for residents requiring physical rehabilitation or higher levels of nursing care. The facility also will feature a therapy pool piped with natural healing waters from the hot springs of New Mexico. Sundt officially broke ground on the healthcare construction project last year after more than eight years of planning by the city and state of New Mexico. Once com-

pleted, the facility will serve more than 70 percent of the existing clients at the New Mexico State Veterans’ Home and is expected to receive LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. A veteran signs the final beam before it’s lifted to the top of the building. Sundt Construction Inc. is

one of the country’s largest general contractors with offices in San Antonio, Fort Worth and El Paso, Texas; Tempe and Tucson, Ariz.; and Irvine, Sacramento, San Diego and San José, Calif. The 126-yearold firm is known nationally for its commitment to quality and inno-

vative approach to construction services. For more information, visit www.sundt.com. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Final Push for Entries in $20M Carbon-Capture Competition By Mead Gruver ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Organizers of an international competition to find ways to turn a profit from carbon dioxide emitted by coal- and gas-fired power plants are making a final push for entries before next week’s deadline. So far, 15 teams have submitted 20 entries to compete in the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE. Many others have expressed interest, said Paul Bunje with XPRIZE. This fall, XPRIZE judges expect to choose as many as 30 teams to begin to compete for $20 million in prize money. Winning uses of CO2, the gas primarily responsible for global warming, could include manufacturing graphene, a material much stronger than steel. “What we’re really looking for is to make sure there are teams that have the quality and ability to do this very hard thing,” Bunje said. “The teams that have registered so far meet that criterion. They are pretty impressive — everything from academia to startups

“What we’re really looking for is to make sure there are teams that have the quality and ability to do this very hard thing. The teams that have registered so far meet that criterion.” Paul Bunje XPRIZE

to big companies.” Formal entries were due July 15. Teams that pass this fall’s proposal review will advance to testing their ideas in laboratories. In the second round, XPRIZE will score teams on how much carbon dioxide they convert in the lab and the potential value of their products. As many as 10 teams will share $5 million and advance. The final round will involve putting real flue gas to use. Work has been underway at a coal-fired power plant, Basin Electric’s Dry Fork Station near Gillette, Wyo., to host the competitors.

Teams also will demonstrate technologies at a gas-fired power plant in Alberta, Canada. The winner of each side of the competition — at the coal-fired plant and the gas-fired one — will receive a $7.5 million grand prize. XPRIZE has held a number of competitions in recent years to spur technology development. They include the $10 million Ansari XPRIZE, which in 2004 went to the first private team able to launch three people into suborbital space twice within two weeks. The state of Wyoming has pledged $15

million toward construction of the Gillettearea lab in the hope coal-fired energy can emit less greenhouse gas while remaining competitive with renewable energy such as solar and wind power. Close to 40 percent of the nation’s coal comes from mines in Wyoming, the top coal-producing state. The Wyoming lab won’t be much to look at, just a modular trailer and a place where the competitors can truck in their devices and hook them up to the power plant, said Jason Begger, executive director of the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority. “They’ll be brought in, set down on the ground and plugged into the flue gas,” Begger said. “It’s almost like an RV park, providing a space and hookups.” Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association Inc. has promised $5 million toward the center. The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association has pledged $1 million. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Route 66 Becoming Green With Charging Stations, Solar Panels By Russell Contreras ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Route 66, the historic U.S. highway made famous for attracting gas-guzzling Chevrolet Bel Airs and 1957 Cadillacs traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles, is turning green. The Mother Road has seen in recent months a growing number of electric car charging stations along the 2,500mile path, and some states even are pushing for solar panels and electric buses. In Illinois, where Route 66 begins, the state has installed a network of electric vehicle charging stations from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River. BMW, Mitsubishi and Nissan are supporting the $1 million effort with technical help from the University of California at Davis. Officials say the project will cover eight cities, and each site will have at least one fast-charging station. “This infrastructure has the clear potential to save drivers money while delivering environmental benefits to the state and the nation,’’ Gustavo

Collantes, of the UC Davis Policy Institute and lead of the Zero Emission MAP initiative, said at the time of the project’s announcement. Earlier this year, Missouri’s highway department announced it was eying a project to cover a portion of its Route 66 with road-ready solar panels. Under the experiment, roadways would be embedded with solar panels to provide energy to nearby rest stops. The electronics of the panels would be inside glass-covered, hexagonal sections weighing about 70 pounds each. Solar Roadways, an Idaho-based company developing solar panels, said the formulated tempered glass would support the weight of semi-trucks and has a traction surface like asphalt. Solar Roadways also said it was in talks with a Ramada hotel in Kingman, Ariz., along Route 66 about placing solar panels in a parking lot. The hotel isn’t the one trying to get in the action. Bella Roma Bed & Breakfast innkeeper Laura Ferrary said she installed a Tesla supercharger at her Albuquerque spot after seeing an offer from Tesla seeking motel charging sta-

tion. She also anticipates more environmentally-conscience travelers in the future. “It’s just something I thought would be perfect for us since we like to be ecofriendly and those who drive Tesla cars are high-end travelers,’’ Ferrary said. In the six months her upscale bed & breakfast has had the charger, it’s been used only twice, she said. “But I bet that changes soon,’’ she said. The city of Albuquerque announced it would purchase a fleet of 60-ft. articulated battery-electric transit buses for a planned rapid transit project along Albuquerque’s Route 66 in the Nob Hill neighborhood. That project has drawn strong opposition from some business owners who feel it will disrupt the character of the area and the construction would hurt businesses. However, Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said the city would be better off. “The selection of electric buses makes the [transit] project an even more sustainable project for Albuquerque’s future,’’ Berry said.

Volvo Launches Range of Application-Specific Buckets Specifically designed to fit Volvo L110-L350 wheel loaders, the Volvo sand bucket, Volvo rehandling flat floor bucket and Volvo rehandling bucket enable operators to reduce cycle times through more efficient material handling and increased material capacity — reducing fuel consumption by up to 10 percent, depending on application, according to the manufacturer. “One of the best ways to increase production and limit fuel costs is to efficiently match the bucket to the job site,” said Stefan Salomonsson, product manager, wheel loaders at Volvo Construction Equipment. “These new buckets allow for larger material capacity and keep a clean and level work area, so operators can move more in less time. Plus, they’re specifically matched for a variety of ground conditions, so operators have an easier time capturing and delivering material.” Shaped to Perform The intelligently designed buckets are

easy to fill, due to the bucket shape, balanced floor back ratio and countersunk holes. Spill guards are designed to deflect materials and protect the linkage, while convex side plates provide excellent retainment of material. To prevent different material grades from mixing, the buckets also feature minimized pockets. More Profit in Every Bucket Perfectly matched for transporting aggregate, the Volvo rehandling bucket allows operators to do the same tasks while using less fuel, resulting in more material in the bucket and faster cycles. For handling, stockpiling and loading processed materials such as sand, gravel and aggregate, the Volvo rehandling flat floor bucket is the perfect fit. For applications on sand or other soft terrain, the bucket maximizes traction and penetration. When operating in very soft ground conditions where tire traction is compromised, the Volvo sand bucket is the ideal

choice. Designed for handling sand or aggregate, the long bucket floor maximizes penetration for improved fill-factor, while its flat design helps to maintain a clear and level work area. Made by Volvo, for Volvo As with all Volvo attachments, the latest additions have undergone extensive testing to ensure the highest standard of productivity and durability across any application. High-tensile steel and wearresistant parts are positioned in critical areas, minimizing unscheduled downtime. The two-piece mid-section features a bolt-on cutting edge for easier replacement. All three buckets are available for both torque parallel and Z-Bar linkage on Volvo wheel loaders.

are redesigned with increased capacity and spillage protection for faster cycles at a lower operating cost.

Digga’s Auger Drives Deliver Powerful Performance

The Model 1MDS2 auger drive is designed for simple applications with single axis 2-way swing capabilities (FWD-REV), and the Model 1MDS4 is designed for those applications where dual axis 4-way swing capabilities (FWD-REV-LFT-RGT) are required.

With a maximum theoretical output torque of 2,119 ft-lbs, the new Digga mini-loader auger drives, manufactured by Iowa-based Digga North America, deliver more powerful performance than comparable units for increased overall productivity. The result of more than 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of planetary gearboxes and drives, the Digga 1MDS2 and 1MDS4 auger drives are engineered for use on mini-loaders and compact tool carriers. The new planetary gearbox-driven auger drives will work effectively on auxiliary flows of between 6 to 16 gpm (22.7 to 60.5 Lpm) to accommodate the wide range of units on the market today, and come complete with a unit-specific mounting plate for easy installation and set-up, according to the

manufacturer. The Model 1MDS2 auger drive is designed for simple applications with single axis 2-way swing capabilities (FWD-REV), and the Model 1MDS4 is designed for those applications where dual axis 4-way swing capabilities (FWD-REV-LFT-RGT) are required. Offering both designs ensures that the exact job requirements are considered without purchasing more than is needed for the application. In addition to the unique design characteristics of these mini-loader units, they carry an additional advantage as well. Digga drilling drives are covered by a 5-year warranty on the planetary gearbox and a 3-year warranty on the hydraulic motor, with lifetime shaft pull-out warranty for extra protection.

Digga is a leading global manufacturer of planetary gearboxes for machinery attachments, serving the construction and earthmoving industries since 1981. With world headquarters in Yatala, Queensland, Australia, and operating from five manufacturing facilities across three continents, Digga produces one of the largest ranges of high-torque planetary drives in the anchor/foundation and drilling attachment markets. Digga’s North American Operations is centrally located in Dyersville, Iowa. For more information, call 563/875-7915 or visit www.diggausa.com.

WASHTO Awards Western DOTs WASHTO from page 1

The projects are grouped into three sizes, small for projects costing less than $25 million, medium for those between $26 million and $199 million and large for those costing $200 million or more. Transportation projects that were completed in 2015 are eligible to compete. The nominations are judged by officials representing diverse industries within the transportation sector. “America’s Transportation Awards showcase the outstanding transportation projects that improve travel and quality of life in the United States,” said Paul Trombino, AASHTO’s president and director of the Iowa DOT. “Through these awards, we recognize state DOTs for their diligent efforts to help improve the quality of life and economic prosperity in communities across the country.” Nationwide, a total of 40 state DOTs participated in this year’s competition, submitting a record-high 84 award nominations. For just the WASHTO regional competition, 15 DOTs entered 30 transportation projects for consideration. In the Quality of Life/Community Development category, Washington State DOT won in the large group competition for its project to replace a bridge and add high occupancy vehicle lanes on Route 520 across Lake Washington, east of Seattle. An interchange and transit facility project by the Oregon DOT on Interstate-5 in Woodburn took top honors in the medium project group. And the project by the Idaho Transportation Department that improved travel conditions and access connecting Bannock Highway to South 5th Avenue south of Pocatello won in the small project category. In the Best Use of Innovation category, Texas DOT won in the large project group for its Lyndon B. Johnson Expressway project north of Dallas. Colorado DOT’s I-70 Mountain Express Lane project between Empire and Idaho Springs won in the medium project group, and the South Dakota DOT Jackson Boulevard Phase II project to reconstruct a section of Hwy 44 in Rapid City won in the small project group. In the Under Budget category, the Idaho Transportation Department’s Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle Program, which accelerated the construction of several transportation projects across the state, won in the large project group. Colorado DOT’s project to replace six obsolete bridges along US 6 in Denver won in the medium project group, and North Dakota DOT’s rehabilitation of the Sorlie Bridge that connects the cities of Grand Forks, N.D., to East Grand Forks, Minn., won in the small project group. Winners in the two remaining regions will be announced at their meetings in August. The 10 regional projects receiving the highest overall scores will compete for a National Grand Prize to be determined by a panel of transportation experts and a People’s Choice Award to be decided by online public votes. AASHTO will announce the Top 10 finalists during the last week in September. Online voting for the People’s Choice Award will be from Oct. 1 – 30. Winners of both national awards will be announced in November at the AASHTO Annual Meeting in Boston. Each winning state DOT also receives a $10,000 check for donation to a charity or scholarship program of its choice.

Work Continues Around the Clock...

Rio’s New Subway Line Is Running Out of Time Before Summer Olympics By Adriana Gomez Licon ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Two construction workers chatted while applying white grout to the walls of a new subway tunnel one recent day, their voices and the smells of the building materials stark reminders of what was missing: passengers and trains. Seven weeks before the Summer Olympic Games commence, a subway expansion that was supposed to transport hundreds of thousands of athletes and fans is not done. While Brazilian officials insist it can still be finished in time, frequent delays, skyrocketing costs and a financing snag have created doubts. Even if Rio de Janeiro completes the key part of the expansion in time, transportation experts worry it may be too late to adequately test the system before the Aug. 5 Olympics opening ceremony. The launch date has been repeatedly pushed back, with officials now saying they’ll cut the ribbon four days before competition begins. “They are leaving so little time to try this massive system,’’ said Jose Manoel Ferreira Goncalves, president of FerroFrente, an organization of railway experts. “What guarantee do we have that such a sensitive and complicated project is in order?’’ “Every hour counts,’’ Rodrigo Vieira, Rio de Janeiro’s transportation head, told The Associated Press, insisting the job would be finished. “We are working around the clock, 24/7 with 1,000 workers in each station.’’ Line 4 of the subway system was to be Rio’s most important Olympic infrastructure project. It was designed to transport passengers from worldfamous Ipanema beach to the modern suburb of Barra da Tijuca, home of the Olympic Park and Village, in less than 15 minutes, as well as to most venues where athletes will compete. In contrast, the drive along the highway through lush mountains and shantytowns takes more than an hour on a good day, raising the specter of a logistics nightmare if the line isn’t built and hundreds of thousands of visitors have

to take buses or cars on alreadyclogged roads. When Brazil won its bid back in 2009 to hold the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, its economic fortunes were far different. The discoveries of rich, offshore oil fields in 2007 made major infrastructure projects like Line 4 seem possible back then. But as global oil prices plunged in recent years, the state’s accounts were hit hard. The oil sector in Latin America’s largest nation also has been rocked by a major investigation into a colossal kickback scheme at state oil company Petrobras. Now, Rio state’s finances are in such bad shape the acting governor on June 17 declared a state of financial disaster, a move giving him more freedom to manage shrinking resources without breaking fiscal laws. Rio state has been skipping payments to teachers and retired workers. Some police stations are missing basic items like toilet paper, and residents have felt obligated to pitch in. “As the wealth has been wiped out, the dreams we had of the big transformations have also faded,’’ said Gilberto Braga, a finance professor at Ibmec university in Rio. The state recently failed to make an $8.3 million payment on a loan to the French Development Agency, which is helping pay for the subway project, forcing the federal government to intervene. Because of the missed payment, the federal government became wary of Rio state acquiring more debt. Brazil’s finance ministry now says it is reviewing the state’s ability to handle more loans and has held up $284 million that a national bank dedicated to infrastructure projects had earmarked to complete the line. “Rio’s financial worries are notorious. I acknowledge that it’s not a small feat [for the federal government] to approve a loan to a state in financial problems,’’ the state’s financial secretary, Julio Bueno, told the AP. “On the other hand, we have the Olympics. The subway is vital.’’ Despite optimism it will come

together, city officials have devised backup plans, such as special lanes and a rapid transit system for buses. Officials have dialed down expectations for the subway project for months. Last-minute construction on the line has created fears after an April bike lane collapse that plunged two joggers to their deaths. An ocean-front section of the lane, an Olympic beautification project inaugurated in January, collapsed into a heap of broken cement when struck by a large wave. Problems with other recently inaugurated Olympics-related projects have multiplied worries. A new light rail system connecting Rio’s renovated port area to one of the airports recently suffered a major power outage on the second day of service, forcing passengers to get off. A highway near Barra da Tijuca that was inaugurated in June is already damaged with potholes and large cracks. State auditors are examining why subway costs ballooned from the initial $1.6 billion estimate several years ago to $2.9 billion now expected. They also are seeking more information about plans to test the new line. “We want to know whether shortening the time to test the subway puts the safety of the passengers at risk,’’ said Jonas Lopes, president of Rio de Janeiro state’s court of auditors. Delays, blown budgets and graft are constant problems in Brazil. Federal police are investigating whether Odebrecht, a builder in the subway consortium, paid bribes to officials connected to Line 4’s creation. Another builder involved in the project, Queiroz Galvao, had its assets frozen in the Petrobras scandal. Meanwhile, full operation of Line 4 has been postponed to 2018. “It’s the way things work here,’’ said Hivonete Reis, complaining about how long it has taken to expand the subway to the southern part of the city where she lives. “They never give us anything on time.’’ (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

If the charges hadn’t been set correctly they could have fallen into the new bridges.” An earlier bridge demolition took place last December and went off without a hitch. “Generally what they will do is traffic is maintained until they are ready to detonate those charges,” Zishka said. “Then they shut the road down, set the charges and make sure the roadway is clear. Once they determine the roadway is clear of debris from the charges, they will open it back up to traffic.” Traffic in the most recent demolition on Bird Creek was shut down for only 15 minutes.

Texas-Based Oil Company to Build HQ in New Mexico HOBBS, N.M. (AP) A Texas-based oil company is constructing a $6 million headquarters in southeastern New Mexico’s Permian Basin. The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports that the Mewbourne Oil Company said it is building the 32,000-sq.-ft. (2,973 sq m) headquarters in Hobbs to provide more space for its 120 employees in the region. Mewbourne operates about 2,000 total wells. It has added modular offices and trailers to accommodate its growth. Ken Waits, Mewbourne Oil president, said the private company was doing very well before the downturn in the oil and gas industry. He said Mewbourne is working with Carlsbad-based NPSR Architects and Hobbs-based Lasco Construction. Construction is expected to take a year to complete. Steve Vierck, Economic Development Corporation of Lea County president, said the project is a vote of confidence in southeastern New Mexico.

U.S. Shoring Hosts More Than 80 Guests for Demo of Drilling Systems

.S. Shoring and Equipment Co., Euless, Texas, hosted more than 80 guests for a demonstration of the new Barbco Inc., TriBor and FlexBor drilling systems. Attendees came from 27 companies from all over the United States to the first-time event. Chad Pendley, national sales representative of U.S. Shoring and Equipment, welcomed guests to Texas and introduced Tony Barbera, vice president of Barbco Inc., and inventor of the TriBor system. Also introduced was Derik Engle, inventor and developer of the FlexBor system. All three men were on hand to guide the attendees through the processes that were being demonstrated and to answer questions. The new TriBor system is one machine that can do auger bores, pilot shots, HDD drilling and jacking. All of these tasks can now be performed from a bore pit that is as small as 16 ft. (4 m) in length. The TriBor system also allows for wireless, remote-controlled operation from ground level, keeping the operator out of the pit, as well as being able to operate the tethered power packs on-board mud pump. The FlexBor system demonstrated the ease of performing HDD (horizontal directional drilling) that virtually eliminates the threat of inadvertent returns and in most cases, eliminates the need and costs associated with drilling fluids inherent to conventional HDD methods. Benefits of the FlexBor system include the elimination of slip threats on steep side-hill applications; reduced/eliminated cuttings and bentonite disposal fees; more shallow and serviceable installations; and easier permitting in environmentally sensitive
