HDOT Completes Rebuild of Lala-Damaged Highway

A Komatsu excavator rebuilds the bank of Kaalaea Hurricane Lala washed out large sections of Mamalahoa Stream along Kamehameha Highway. A Cat excavator moves roadbed materials into place Highway (Route 11).

The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) reported on Aug. 24, 2026, that major roadway repairs to the sections of Mamalahoa Highway (Route 11) that were washed out due to heavy rains from Hurricane Lala were completed. Approximately two weeks of finish work such as permanent striping, guardrail installation and shoulder hardening will continue at the Pāhala Hospital site. Highway users are advised that single lane closures with alternating traffic control may occur along Mamalahoa Highway (Route 11) from Ka‘ū and Nāʻālehu as

crews add signage, repair guardrails, place barriers, install signage, replace pavement markings, fill erosion areas, repair electrical and water systems, and other safety installations to the rebuilt road On Maui, Crater Road (Route 378) crews spent time chopping and clearing large fallen trees and debris from the roadway throughout the week. Crater Road was reopened to all motorists as of Aug. 24, with remaining debris cleanup continuing outside of the roadway. On O‘ahu, crews continued to

Crews repair a section of the Mamalahoa Highway (Route 11) by Pahala Hospital.

proactively clear waterways of debris and sediment along various streams throughout the system. HDOT worked with utility companies to trim problematic trees near powerlines and roadways. Drain and shoulder clearing work continued to prevent ponding along major roadways like the H-1 Freeway, Likelike Highway and Kamehameha Highway. There is one remaining airport repair for damage caused by Hurricane Lala, which was a blown off section of terminal roofing at Lānaʻi Airport. Otherwise, there were no significant impacts to any facilities,

runways or terminals. Due to the forecast associated with Moke, interim repairs were made at Lānaʻi Airport. HDOT will assess the cost and schedule of permanent repairs this week. The repair work is not expected to impact passengers. HDOT Harbors crews cleared an estimated 18 tons of debris from land and waterside facilities at ports throughout the state between Lala and Moke to keep harbors navigable.  (All photos courtesy of the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation.)

Google, Beale Infrastructure Announce Okla. Data Center Google and Beale Infrastructure announced on Aug. 19, 2026, details for a new data center campus under construction in unincorporated Tulsa County, Okla., near Cherokee Industrial Park. The 506-acre campus will join Google’s global network of data centers that powers technology ranging from Google search to online banking, hospitals and emergency systems. “The Tulsa Regional Chamber is thrilled that Google is deepening its footprint in northeastern Oklahoma,” said Mike Neal, president and CEO of the Tulsa Regional Chamber. “We look forward to furthering a relationship that began nearly 20 years ago when Google announced it was coming to Mid-America Industrial Park in Pryor.” Google has invested more than $15 billion statewide since setting down roots with its first data center campus in Pryor in 2011. The company said in the release that it is actively expanding its digital infrastructure footprint in the state with new facilities under construction in Stillwater and Muskogee County.

In 2025, Google’s investments and technologies helped provide more than $2.6 billion of economic activity for tens of thousands of Oklahoma businesses, publishers, nonprofits, creators and developers, according to the release. “This project is far more than an infrastructure investment; it is a long-term commitment to Tulsa County’s future,” said Trystine Payfer, Google’s public affairs manager for Oklahoma. “Building data centers the right way means being a good neighbor first. Here in Tulsa County, that means strengthening the local energy grid and creating real, lasting opportunities for local businesses, families and schools.” “This project in Tulsa County is a continued vote of confidence in Oklahoma and its future,” said Julian Kudritzki, chief operating officer for Beale Infrastructure. Google said in the release that it builds its data centers with a commitment to support local utility systems and pay its own way. Powered by Public Service Co. of Oklahoma (PSO), the Tulsa County project includes construction of a new onsite substation funded by

Beale. These direct investments in utility upgrades will strengthen energy reliability and grid stability across the region. Located just west of Owasso, the new campus will bring significant public infrastructure upgrades. The project will enhance PSO’s transmission and distribution system reliability across the region, ensuring robust capacity for digital infrastructure and regional power demand. Google said in the release

that it is committed to growing responsibly. Its Project Clydesdale is funding and installing 1.5 mi. of new water lines and infrastructure upgrades for Washington County Rural Water District #3, ensuring the project’s local neighbors benefit from a more robust and resilient water system. Over the last few years, Google has contributed more than $2 million to support Tulsa County community partners such as Atlas

School, The Opportunity Project, OSU-IT, Tulsa Innovation Labs, Foundation for Tulsa Schools and Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance. Google and Beale said in the release that they plan to support the region’s heritage and future by working with local leaders and elders to launch new community investments and expand existing partnerships in education, nextgeneration workforce development, small business support and digital access. 

Chickasaw Nation Breaks Ground On $1B Medical Center Chickasaw Nation Gov. Chris Anoatubby led groundbreaking ceremonies on July 31, 2026, for the $1 billion Chickasaw Nation Health Newcastle Medical Center, marking a significant investment in First American health care access in the Oklahoma City area. When complete, the 160-acre Chickasaw Nation Health Newcastle Medical Center campus at the intersection of Southwest 16th Street and U.S. 62, will contain 12 buildings, including a hospital, outpatient clinic and more than 23 medical specialties. It will be one of the largest and most comprehensive First American hospitals in the United States, according to the Chickasaw Nation. “Today is the next step in our journey to provide quality, accessible health care,” Anoatubby said. “This will be more than just a hospital; this campus will propel health care forward.” Anoatubby said the medical center is another step in meeting the mission of the Chickasaw Nation, “to enhance the overall quality of life of the Chickasaw people.” “Once again, the mission extends to the community and other First Americans we will serve right here in Newcastle. When

Chickasaw Nation Rendering The Chickasaw Nation is building a 16-acre Newcastle Medical Center.

Chickasaws first arrived in this territory, they built schools, churches and hospitals so the generations coming after them would persevere and have even more,” Anoatubby said. “Today, we do the same. We build for families and communities today and for a

bright future for the generations that will follow.” The groundbreaking signified the beginning of the first phase of construction, consisting of about 700,000 sq. ft., including 50 inpatient beds, an emergency department,

surgical suites, labor and delivery, family medicine, pediatrics, specialty clinics, behavioral health, dental clinics, a full pharmacy and the beginnings of a research program. A contractor wasn’t named. Upon completion, the facility will grow to include a nearly 2.5 million-sq.-ft. medical campus with 140 inpatient beds and will employ more than 5,500. It is expected to serve more than 100,000 First Americans in the region. “This campus will do things most hospitals cannot,” Anoatubby said. “We are building medical residencies, training the next generation of doctors right here in Oklahoma, and in Newcastle. We are building a First American research center owned and operated by a tribal nation — the first of its kind anywhere in the country.” This project is a collaboration between the Chickasaw Nation and the Indian Health Service (IHS) Joint Venture Program. Through the program, the Chickasaw Nation finances the design and construction of the facility, and IHS commits to fund a portion of staffing and operational costs. 

ROMCO Celebrates Grand Opening of Amarillo Branch

ROMCO Equipment Co. leadership, employees and industry partners gather outside the company’s new Amarillo branch during the grand opening celebration.

An aerial view of ROMCO Equipment Co.’s new Amarillo branch that spans approximately 5 acres and includes three service bays, a wash bay and a dedicated demonstration area.

ROMCO Equipment Co. celebrated the grand opening of its new Amarillo branch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 28, 2026, marking the company’s 17th location and continued expansion across Texas. Located at 15101 I-27 in Amarillo, Texas, the new facility strengthens ROMCO’s ability to provide equipment sales, rentals, parts and service solutions to construction, aggregate, paving, municipal˙ and agricultural customers throughout the region. The Amarillo branch represents a significant milestone in ROMCO’s continued growth strategy and investment in Texas. Leadership identified Amarillo as a critical market that would allow ROMCO to better serve customers across the Panhandle. “Amarillo was on our map from the very beginning

because it’s such an exciting market,” ROMCO President Steve Passmore said. The new location helps address one of the region’s greatest challenges: distance. Before the branch opened, many customers had to travel significant distances for equipment and service. The Amarillo facility provides a closer, more convenient resource while allowing ROMCO technicians and service personnel to respond more quickly to customer needs. “One of the biggest advantages of this facility is reducing travel time for our customers,” said Josh Adams, ROMCO’s West Texas regional manager. “Having local parts, service personnel and technicians in Amarillo means we can respond faster and help customers get back to work sooner. It’s a win for both our customers and our team.”

The ROMCO sign stands above several Volvo compact wheel loaders.

Opening the new branch required months of planning, coordination, hiring, facility development, inventory management and operational preparation. Teams from across ROMCO, along with support from parent company SMT, worked together to bring the vision to life. “Adding a new location is never easy, and it takes a lot of people pulling together to make it happen,” Passmore said. “Employees from across the company contributed to this effort, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of SMT and the many people who invested their time and energy into making this branch a reality. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone involved.” “It’s a beautiful facility, but a building is only part of what makes a branch successful,” Passmore added. “It’s the people inside who make the difference. We want to become part of this community, build relationships with our customers and local organizations, and create value beyond simply providing equipment and service.” The Amarillo branch creates new opportunities for professionals to build meaningful careers, while contributing to the long-term success of the communities they serve.  (All photos courtesy of ROMCO.)

OTA Board Awards $133M in New Construction Contracts

The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Board awarded more than $133 million in construction contracts on Aug. 4, 2026, for the Interstate 44/Turner Turnpike interchange reconstruction at Chandler on the I-44/ Turner Turnpike, a new interchange on the Interstate 344/John Kilpatrick Turnpike near Oklahoma City and an I-44/Will Rogers Turnpike widening near Catoosa.

Chandler Interchange Rebuild The board awarded a $29.9 million contract to Sherwood Construction to rebuild the interchange connecting the I-44/ Turner Turnpike and State Highway 18 near Chandler in Lincoln County. The project widens the SH 18 bridge over the turnpike, adds new exit and entrance ramps with tolling equipment, and removes the current interchange infrastructure. The bridge coming down has the lowest posted vertical clearance on the turnpike network and has been struck repeatedly by over-height vehicles, said Brad Manhalter of OTA’s engineering division. Executive Director Joe Echelle said the legal load height is 14 ft., and the bridge currently clears about 14.5 ft., leaving little

margin. Raising bridges above 18 ft. vertical clearance keeps oversized loads on divided highways rather than rural two-lane roads,

$55.5M Interchange Contract C3 Construction won a $55.5 million contract for a new interchange at the I-344/John Kilpatrick Turnpike and North County Line Road, spanning Canadian and Oklahoma counties. The work includes seven bridge widenings, retaining walls, frontage and local road construction, and mainline widening between Northwest 122nd Street and North MacArthur Boulevard. Manhalter said the interchange should relieve congestion along Rockwell Avenue, Council Road and Memorial Road, while adding access north toward Piedmont and the Deer Creek Public School District. Work is expected to begin in late fall 2026.

Will Rogers Turnpike Widening Manhattan Road & Bridge won a $47.9 million contract to widen nearly 2 mi. of the Will Rogers Turnpike to three lanes in each direction near Catoosa and Verdigris in Rogers County. 

Route 66 Spans More Than 2,000K Miles From Chicago to L.A.

A stretch of Route 66 in Oatman, Ariz. ROUTE from page 1

following the road from west to east, from Los Angeles to Chicago, celebrating 100 years since the road was established as part of the nation’s new numbered highway system. The caravan’s route is in the opposite direction from the one laid out in the 1940s song that helped cement the road’s role in American popular culture: Well, it winds from Chicago to L.A. More than 2,000 miles all the way Get your kicks on Route 66 — “Route 66,” by Bobby Troup Starting in California had its advantages, said Martin, whose Route 66 bona fides include serving as president of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, chair of the State Route 66 Association Working Group for the Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership, member of the Oklahoma Route 66 Centennial Commission

and the Tulsa Route 66 Commission, and an advisor to the nonprofit Route 66 Alliance. “The advantage of driving west to east is that California gets more of a fair shake when it comes to exploration. Many travelers cross the border from Arizona and try to get to the Pacific Ocean as fast as possible. By going the opposite direction, it encourages folks to linger a bit longer and see all of the great attractions and hear more of the stories in California before continuing east.” How did they build this highway a hundred years ago? First of all, Martin and other Route 66 enthusiasts will tell you, the road wasn’t built as much as it was assembled — from pieces of Native American trails and pioneer routes westward, and from rough county and state roads to railroad lines. “One of the first myths I have to dispel with people is they think Route 66 was built,” said Seth Chalmers, chair of the American

The 1923 Rainbow Bridge in Kansas remains open to traffic.

Society of Civil Engineers’ Arizona Section History and Heritage Committee. “It was a designation of a highway system that was already existing. It granted some realignments and improvements were made, but the road itself was pretty much there. So, it was really designated and improved rather than built. “And as those improvements were made, then, of course, you had more people driving and could afford vehicles and it became more of an engine of commerce and tourism than it was when it first started,” Chalmers said. In contrast to the interstates that replaced the U.S. numbered highways beginning in the 1950s, Route 66’s heyday was brief — a scant 30 years. But America’s first motorists loved it. It offered adventure, wonder, even danger — from washouts, potholes and failed pavement. The eight states it crossed — Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and California — hyped

Route 66 to bring in tourists and generate tax revenue. It became “Mother Road,” thanks to John Steinbeck and “Grapes of Wrath,” in which the highway conveyed the impoverished Joad family from Oklahoma to California. Its diagonal configuration encouraged the growing trucking industry. An expansive and exuberant popular culture gave it icon status. For the road-building industry, it was a challenge to develop better kinds of pavements and roads. “We had smart engineers,” said Mike O’Leary, who has worked in the asphalt industry since the 1980s. “They had to figure out how to build a road in the desert and how to build a road in the mountains.” Route 66 and its siblings were where engineers and builders learned how to keep those jittery early cars on the road and in one piece. see ROUTE page 24

Hapco Breaks Ground On OKC Manufacturing Facility Hapco broke ground on Aug. 4, 2026, on a new 270,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility in Oklahoma City, Okla., marking a significant expansion of the company’s United States manufacturing footprint and reinforcing its long-term commitment to American manufacturing. Van Hoose Construction is the project’s general contractor. Completion is expected in late 2027. The new facility will expand production

capacity for aluminum lighting poles serving commercial, industrial, transportation, municipal, utility and OEM markets throughout North America. The project is expected to create more than 80 new jobs and strengthen Hapco’s ability to support growing customer demand across the Central and Western United States. “As we celebrate 75 years of American manufacturing excellence, this investment marks an important milestone in Hapco’s

continued growth,” said Tom Hardy, president and CEO. “Oklahoma City’s skilled workforce, strategic location, and business-friendly environment make it an ideal place to expand our manufacturing capabilities and better serve customers across North America.” The Oklahoma City facility will complement Hapco’s headquarters and flagship manufacturing operations in Abingdon, Va., increasing domestic

production capacity while enhancing logistics efficiency, operational flexibility and customer service. “This investment reflects our confidence in American manufacturing and the infrastructure markets we serve,” said Chris Dyson, chairman and CEO of Dyson-KissnerMoran Corp., Hapco’s parent company. “Expanding Hapco’s manufacturing network positions the company for continued success while strengthening our ability to support customers nationwide.” The new facility is being developed at OKC 577 Commerce Park in Oklahoma City. The location provides Hapco with strategic access to major transportation networks and customer markets across the Central and Western United States. Representatives from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, The Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance, OKC 577 Commerce Park, Pascal Aughtry & Associates, Van Hoose Construction, Cooper Project Advisors and SESCO Lighting joined Hapco leadership for the ceremony. 

Route 66: What Began as Dirt Roads Took Decade to Pave ROUTE from page 18

History From the front window of his house, Jim Ross has a clear view of Route 66. Ross, a writer, photographer and Route 66 preservationist, modeled his red-brick house in Arcadia, Okla., after a 1930 Phillips 66 service station that still stands in nearby Chandler, Okla. Chandler was one of hundreds of small towns that Route 66 was created to connect. In 1952, he said, the original Route 66 alignment was bypassed “in favor of an improved alignment around the other side of the hill.” After nearly 100 years, the road in front of Ross’ house is in enviable shape. “Its’ survivability is a combination of the concrete base beneath the asphalt and the light traffic it has seen since its bypass in 1952,” he said. When America launched the highwaybuilding boom that created Route 66, there were about 2.5 million mi. of road. Only 1.29 percent were paved. Establishing a national network of roads was seen as a way to move military hardware and the mail around the country. The latter was a goal of the groundbreaking 1916 Federal Aid Road Act. It authorized matching federal funds for improving rural roads over five years. “The problem with the 1916 bill is that it didn’t require the highways to be connected,” Chalmers said. That was rectified in legislation which passed

in 1921. It also increased federal support for highways, including funds for improvements. “That was the first five-year federal program to give the states a certain amount of money to do road projects,” Chalmers said. “It gave the money to the states and the territories to say, ‘you can count on this money so you can plan these highways.’” The numbering system was introduced in 1926. North-south routes ended in “1,’ with east-west routes in “0.” The route that became Route 66 followed a largely diagonal course. Its fate was decided when backers prevailed in their choice of the snappy Route 66 over the bland Route 62.

Surfaces “Route 66 was mud to begin with,” said Mike O’Leary, based in New Mexico. “People got out there on the road and got stuck.” “When the Department of Highways was established, roads could not be taken for granted, especially in rainy seasons, and the speed limit often was dictated by a horse’s gallop,” Oklahoma’s Department of Transportation wrote during the department’s centenary in 2011. But improvements were already under way. “The roads Missourians drove over were mostly dirt — or mud or dust, depending on the season,” according to “Roads and their Builders,” published by the Missouri State Highway Commission in 1971. “They were mostly bad, too — until the arrival on the scene

of D. Ward King and his split log drag. And if they didn’t lift Missourians out of the mud, they at least smoothed it over.” Patented in 1908, the simple split log drag machine removed clods from the road with its first log and smoothed the road with the second log. It was a slow-motion era, Chalmers said. “Everybody was going about 15 miles per hour,” he said. “So, you didn’t have to worry about it when cars ran into each other on the road.” “Prior to paving, most were dirt roads improved with drainage. Those were followed by gravel and drain,” Ross said, adding that, early on, if a road was paved, it was likely in an urban area — “mostly in brick.” Although Route 66 was a priority, paving it still took 10 years to complete. “There was no model for these roads or pavements,” Ross says. The job went to Portland concrete, which was used largely in the east; and asphalt was favored in the west. In Arcadia, Okla., a stretch of concrete road gave way to asphalt with concrete edges — or vice versa. They were laid within a year of each other in the late 1920s. The meeting point is about one-half mile from Ross’ house. “These were two separate road projects,” he says, one concrete, one asphalt. The stretch of road carries a marker erected by the National Register of Historic Places. It notes the “unique stretch of road” beneath the

wheels of passersby. Regulations in Oklahoma called for a “uniform standard” of pavement. According to the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office, “The paving standard of 18 feet in 1925 was not increased to 20 feet until 1930, therefore some 18-foot-wide roadways were built, though the majority of paving projects occurred after 1930 … . Route 66 was paved piecemeal as matching federal funds became available.” “A less popular choice was a design consisting of a 2-inch asphalt driving surface over a 5-inch concrete base. The design was built in both 18- and 20-foot widths, and in most cases included 9-inch concrete edges,” according to the Oklahoma Route 66 Roadbed Documentation Project, conducted by the Oklahoma Route 66 Association in 20012002. Ross was a member consultant on the project. “Generally, selection of materials depended on sub-grade factors, availability and funding,” it added. Part of New Deal Much of the period during which Route 66 was paved coincided with the Great Depression of the 1930s. “Teams of mules and many men struggled with heavy equipment to accomplish the feat,” recalled “Route 66 in Oklahoma: An Historic Preservation Survey.” see ROUTE page 62

Much of Route 66 was four-laned in Illinois. After the road was decommissioned, Illinois closed one set of lanes in most places, tearing out some pavement to make it difficult to use.

Rendering of a new East San Fernando Valley Light Rail station

Global construction and development firm Skanska, in a joint venture with Stacy Witbeck, announced on Aug. 14, 2026, that it was awarded an additional contract by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project in Van Nuys. Along with preconstruction and early works, the contract’s total value for the project is $2.43 billion. The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project is designed to expand transit access and strengthen connections along the Van Nuys Boulevard corridor. The addition of new stations and connections to existing services will provide a more reliable way for people to get to work, school and other regional destinations. This added continuity to the broader Los Angeles County rail system serves the communities of Panorama City, Arleta and Pacoima while supporting long-term mobility efforts. This project is a progressive design-build, which integrated construction and design teams early in the development process. This allowed for early engagement with Metro and stakeholders to validate designs, address third-party constraints and refine construction approaches before full build-out, which will help manage risk, cost and schedule during upcoming construction.

“The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail project is an investment in mobility for the region,” said James Bailey, executive vice president of Skanska USA Civil’s West Coast operations. “The progressive design-build delivery method enabled us to collaborate closely with LA Metro from day one, bringing designers, builders, stakeholders and community members together to make informed decisions and help shape a light-rail system that will serve the East San Fernando Valley for generations to come.” “Delivering the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail requires getting every detail right, from utility coordination through revenue service, across some of the most active urban corridors in Los Angeles,” said Eric Meisgeir, project manager for Stacy Witbeck. “We will construct this project with the same focus on the work and respect for the community to deliver a project the San Fernando Valley can be proud of.” The project scope includes the construction of a 6.7-mi., at-grade light rail along Van Nuys Boulevard, a 26-acre rail and maintenance facility, 11 new stations including shade structures and utility relocations and improvements. The project began construction in July 2026 with expected completion in December 2031.  (All renderings courtesy of Marino.)

Recognizing Future Workforce...

AED Foundation Celebrates 150th High School Milestone As the equipment industry continues to face a shortage of an estimated 10,000 technicians each year, the AED Foundation (AEDF) is expanding its efforts to build the future workforce by reaching a major milestone: Waukegan High School became the foundation’s 150th AEDF recognized high School. The achievement marks another significant step in the foundation’s mission to connect students with rewarding careers in the equipment industry while helping dealers and manufacturers address the growing demand for skilled technicians, the association said. “Becoming an AED Foundation recognized high school is a tremendous milestone for Waukegan High School and our new diesel mechanics program,” said David Marks, CTE academic chair/ coordinator of Waukegan High School. “This recognition validates our commitment to providing students with an industryaligned education that prepares them for high-demand careers in the equipment industry. Through our partnership with the AED Foundation, our students will have access to high-quality curriculum, industry

standards and career opportunities that will help build the next generation of skilled technicians. We are honored to be part of this growing network of recognized schools and proud to contribute to strengthening the future workforce.” The AEDF recognized high school program introduces students to careers in the equipment industry through handson technical education and industryaligned curriculum while cultivating relationships among students, educators, schools, dealers, manufacturers and industry partners to build a sustainable talent pipeline for the equipment industry. In addition to recognizing high school programs, the foundation also accredits college equipment technology programs, ensuring educational programs at both the secondary and post-secondary levels meet industry standards and prepare graduates for successful careers. The success of the program is made possible by AED members and industry partners who invest their time, expertise and resources into developing tomorrow’s workforce, the association said. “West Side Tractor is committed to

our future workforce,” said Beth Bayless, training and development specialist of West Side Tractor Sales. “Helping students learn about the great career opportunities that exist in our industry is an important mission for West Side Tractor. We’re so excited that AED has reached 150 recognized high schools. It’s a great network that provides valuable connections and support for the AED-recognized schools.” Over the past four years, the AED Foundation has transformed workforce development across the equipment industry through accomplishments that include: • 104 accredited college programs across North America; • 150 recognized high school programs introducing students to careers in the equipment industry; • More than 5,000 students connected with equipment industry employers through AED Foundation workforce events; • Eighty-six percent of AED Foundation program students enter careers within the equipment industry including 1,447 newly certified technicians; and • More than $100,000 returned to

the equipment industry through federal and state workforce grants supporting workforce development initiatives. AED Foundation Standards Committee and its evaluation team leaders, who have dedicated more than 4,000 hours to evaluating post-secondary programs and curriculum to ensure graduates, are prepared to meet the evolving technical and workforce demands of the equipment industry, according to the association. “Reaching 150 recognized high schools is an incredible milestone because every school represents new opportunities to inspire students and strengthen our industry’s future workforce,” said Brian P. McGuire, president of the AED Foundation. “The success of this program reflects the commitment of educators, industry partners and AED members who are working together to address the skilled labor shortage. By expanding our network of recognized high schools, we’re creating more opportunities for students to discover rewarding careers while helping ensure the equipment industry has the talented workforce it needs for years to come.” 

Dash-5 Paver Resurfaces Winding Road to German Castle Ruins

Tight hairpin turns, steep gradients and narrow passages characterize the vital access road to the Falkenstein castle ruins, located at an altitude of 4,190 ft., and the hotel with a gourmet restaurant located just below. Here, the new Vögele road paver Super 1800-5 X demonstrates why it is the right choice for difficult paving tasks.

Job Site With Many Challenges The road to the castle ruins, which is just over 1.2 mi. long, is only 10 ft. wide in sections and is already showing its age. The stretch of road is bumpy and has deep potholes. “This job site has a lot of tricky features. We are dealing with a steep gradient Wirtgen photo and very tight curves at the same time. That is a challenge for the paving and logistics,” said Sascha Böck, managing director of the contractor Josef Böck GmbH, describing the task. He planned the operation meticulously in advance.

activity for the summer. She would never have dreamed back then that she would one day drive a road paver. “Today, it is my dream job,” she said, describing her career choice. She has only ever operated Vögele road pavers and would not want to switch. “Why would I, when I’m already out here with the best machine,” she said with a smile. Drexler loves controlling large machines safely, even under difficult conditions, while keeping an eye on her colleagues at the paving screed and the entire working area. The further developed operating concept ErgoPlus 5 is helpful in this regard. While operators always have to get used to one or two new features on a new machine, she was able to get used to the new paver very quickly due to the operating logic being very similar to the predecessor model. Operation is even simpler and more intuitive; the SmartWheel enables very precise steering, and the new touch display offers many additional options, according to Vögele. “Visually and technically, you can see that the machine has been noticeably further developed,” she said about the new road paver.

the route, which is more than 30 percent in parts, paired with the tight hairpin turns, places high demands on the skill of the roller operator and the capabilities of the rollers. They must be driven with great sensitivity so as not to push the mix, tear it apart or cause the roller to slip. This is precisely where the 3-point articulation of the Hamm rollers proves once again to be a valuable feature.

Successful Premiere of New Super 1800-5 X After just a few days, Germany’s highest gourmet restaurant and highest castle ruins, as well as the hotel below, are easily accessible again. The use of the Vögele road paver Super 1800-5 X with the extending screed AB 500 TP1 made a significant contribution to this. For more information, visit wirtgengroup.com. 

Compaction On Slope of More Than 30 Percent For final compaction, the team uses an oscillation roller HD 13 VO and an Wirtgen photo HD 10 VT from Hamm. The Vögele paver Super 1800-5 X and the tandem Above all, the gradient of rollers HD 13 VO and HD 10 VT from Hamm.

Equip Exposition Releases Tips, Advice, Game Plan for First-Time Show Attendees Equip Exposition, the international landscape, outdoor living, and equipment exposition, issues advice for first-time attendees to the awardwinning event Oct. 20-23, 2026, starting with planning ahead. Last year, the show drew nearly 30,000 landscapers, dealers, contractors, hardscape experts and outdoor power equipment manufacturers and more to the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC). The event takes up more than 1 million sq. ft. of exhibit space (the equivalent of more than 17 football fields) and has a 30-acre outdoor demo yard. “I encourage attendees to have a game plan before attending Equip,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), which owns and manages Equip Exposition. “Download the app ahead of time, book your hotel room now and plan what you’ll do and see there. And definitely wear comfortable shoes.” The Equip app, a must-have guide to the show, is sponsored by Case Construction Equipment. Equip offers the following tips for the best experience possible: Before Show Register now: registrants receive Equip’s emails about event details, additions and special events. Sign up at EquipExposition.com for $30 before prices double to $60 after Sept. 10. On Oct. 20, the price doubles again. The atthe-door price is $120. Add education, certification classes and training to your registration before sessions sell out: explore ways to grow your business, address common problems, develop employees, and learn new skills and business opportunities at these sessions. Select classes, including the popular From Worker to Leader course, are also available in Spanish. Attendees can buy individual education sessions for a fee, but an Equip Academy pass for $170 will give attendees access to dozens of education sessions. Book travel arrangements and hotel reservations: last year, show attendees booked most available hotels (many on a complimentary shuttle route). Booking a room now ensures you are close to the event. Bring company teammates: bring your coworkers, service department

personnel, sales team and, if a dealer, your customers. Equip is a fantastic team-building opportunity, from shared educational experiences and testing new equipment, to having fun at concerts. Acting on new knowledge and ideas when you get home is easier with a bonded team. Download the Equip Expo app, sponsored by CASE Construction Equipment: the app, which works with any iPhone or Android phone, is your event guide. Find the Event Schedule with start times for sessions and maps for the entire facility, where the biggest giveaways are held, and more. Favorite events or locations to build a custom schedule. Determine the top three business problems you are trying to solve: identify and prioritize the speakers, exhibits, and education offerings that could help you in those areas. Plan your route: map the route from your hotel to the KEC and other venues, and look at available shuttles or rideshares to the event. Learn the main areas of the show. • The North Wing has registration, exhibits and badge pickup. • The South Wing has exhibits, Mulligan’s Mutt Madness, the Education Center and easy access to the 30-acre outdoor demo yard and the UTV Driving Experience. • The West Wing has exhibits, food options (as well as the rideshare pickup/ drop off zone) and badge pickup. • Freedom Hall hosts Tree Care Arena featuring hands-on workshops by Academy Trained and The Davey Institute. At Show Don’t get stuck in traffic: for ease of entry, don’t use the main gate at the show’s rush hour. If you are coming to the KEC later than 10 a.m. on a show day, use the Crittenden Drive or the Preston Highway gates and park on the North side, which is the best way to enter the KEC. Leave via a similar route to avoid any bottlenecks at the main gate. Parking at the KEC during the show is free. Start your day in the West Wing: ride shares and shuttles will drop off at the West Wing where attendees will find food and badge pickup. Avoid lines for badge pickup: print your badge at the Welcome Reception, sponsored by Caterpillar Inc., at

Churchill Downs’ First Turn Club or in the North Wing at the KEC. More locations are scattered throughout Louisville hotels and the airport. Talk with others: Equip is a city-wide event. People in your hotel elevator and restaurant are likely attendees. Take time to meet your colleagues as you navigate the halls, stand in line, or grab a bite to eat. Have fun at the events. Go to: • Welcome Reception at Churchill Downs sponsored by Caterpillar Inc. on Tuesday evening. • Mulligan’s 5K Fun Run and Walk, sponsored by Active Dynamics, on Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m. • The opening keynote on Wednesday morning featuring Mike Holmes, one of North America’s most trusted contractors and star of the HGTV show, Holmes Family Rescue, sponsored by Kress. • 4th Street Live! Concert on Wednesday evening, sponsored by the Propane Education & Research Council. • The Morning Show at Expo, sponsored by Rehlko, on Thursday morning. • The Women’s Leadership Reception on Thursday at 4 p.m., sponsored by Belgard, SiteOne, and Hunter/FX Luminaire. • ENERGIZE on Thursday afternoon, sponsored by Exmark and BOSS Snowplow. • The Closing Paristown Block Party on Thursday night at Old Forester’s Paristown Hall and the surrounding block, sponsored by Gravely. After Show Follow up with the people you met: swap ideas and remind each other to do “that thing you said you would do” when you returned home. Put new ideas from the show into action: Take that leap, do the “new thing,” roll out better pricing, marketing, services and more. Register for next year’s show planned for October 19-22, 2027, at the KEC. The show will begin a two-city rotation in 2029, biannually moving between Louisville and Orlando. Equip will be held in Orlando in 2029 and 2031 and will be held in Louisville in 2030 and every other year thereafter. For more information, visit equipexposition.com. 

Volvo CE Expands U.S. Footprint With Debut of U.S.-Built Excavators, Loaders Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is expanding its United States footprint, resulting in more than 50 percent of its North American machine supply being produced at its Shippensburg, Pa., facility. Less than a year after announcing plans to localize more machine assembly, the company is delivering its first American-built excavators and larger wheel loaders to customers. A total of 11 additional models will be produced in Shippensburg, shortening customer lead times by more than six weeks, according to Volvo. The company marked the milestone with an event attended by legislators and business and industry leaders on Aug. 19, 2026. They got an inside look at the manufacturing transformation and Volvo CE’s ongoing efforts to develop a localized supplier base. “What you see today is manufacturing resilience in action: adapting with purpose and speed to increase capacity and build more machines closer to our customers,” said Scott Young, head of region, North America. “This achievement advances Volvo CE’s long-term strategy to strengthen stability and flexibility across the North American market while supporting our employees and the regional economy.” The expansion brings Volvo CE’s North American production portfolio to 30 machine models, including excavators, wheel loaders and compactors. With the most recent investment of $40 million, Volvo CE has invested more than $1.4 billion since 2007 to triple its annual output capacity and build workforce skills to support growth and increased digitalization. Volvo CE acquired the site and its road development division from Ingersoll Rand in 2007 and established its North American headquarters there in 2012. Currently, over 750 people are employed at the location. “Volvo CE has taken seriously its commitment to investing in and revitalizing American manufacturing,” said Rep. John Joyce. “This facility right here in Shippensburg is not only building world-class construction equipment; it is creating opportunities for families and workers throughout our community.”

Thinking Globally, Executing Locally While Volvo CE has made major strides to expand its North American capabilities, building a stronger local supply chain to support has been incremental and is one of the most critical opportunities — and challenges — for Volvo CE and the equipment manufacturing industry. “Strong, mutually beneficial supplier relationships have been fundamental to how Volvo CE works with its suppliers for decades,” said Todd Papple, Volvo CE’s head of purchasing Americas. “But increasingly, success requires a broader ecosystem — where businesses, economic development organizations and communities work together.” Volvo CE announced its ambition to grow its business with Pennsylvania suppliers by 30 percent by 2030. Meeting this goal will hinge on strong partnerships with suppliers, giving them the confidence to invest in their operations to meet manufacturer specifications and volumes while remaining cost competitive, according to Volvo. To support this initiative, Volvo CE partnered with the Franklin County Area Development Corporation to support a global excavator counterweight supplier’s decision to land a regional operation. The supplier is investing more than

$1.5 million in a local facility, creating jobs to complete and deliver counterweights directly to the Shippensburg plant on a just-in-time basis. Growth From Within The company increased production capacity through automation, process improvements and more efficient use of existing factory space, enabling growth while maintaining its existing manufacturing space and workforce. The plant’s combined 436,000-ft. assembly and fabrication footprint was reengineered creating three flexible production lines capable of building the full range of excavator, wheel loader and compactor models while adding new excavator welding capacity. To upskill its existing workforce, Volvo CE invested in extensive onsite and offsite training with sister factories in Sweden, Korea and Brazil, equipping employees with new technical skills and expertise. In total, employees completed more than 180 hours of individual training while gaining invaluable cross-cultural experiences. The North American site also is pioneering a new “utility specialist” approach for production of large wheel loaders, which require 30 percent more parts and complexity to build on the same line. Employees were cross trained in multiple zones to provide additional support at stations requiring extra labor, helping maintain a steady workflow. Innovation around the way we work and insights from the pilot can be applied to the excavator line and shared across Volvo CE sites worldwide. “Over the past 11 months, our teams have demonstrated exceptional commitment and execution to expand our production capabilities here in Shippensburg,” said Gustavo Casagrandi, head of operations, Volvo CE Shippensburg. “Along the way, we’ve developed new technical capabilities within our workforce, making us more resilient, and competitive as a manufacturing facility.” The Shippensburg-based technology team also is evolving from a single-product focus to a more flexible operating model, deploying resources where they are needed most across the product portfolio. This more integrated approach to manufacturing and engineering enables Volvo CE to better support North American customers while laying the foundation for a more resilient, responsive and sustainable future. 

Creating Connected Job Sites — Why Eliminating Data Silos Makes Difference Concerns about costs and attracting enough workers to complete jobs continue to dominate conversation. While the adoption and deployment of technology can help address both concerns, technology is only truly effective when data silos are eliminated. Cloud-connected collaboration platforms enable teams to share realtime data, creating a single source of truth, according to Leica Geosystems. Too often though, technology is a “bolt-on” to existing frameworks and processes, and although it can help align teams, silos remain on the job site. The real challenge is figuring out how to break them down.

Why Breaking Down Silos Matters The modern job site is more technologically enabled than ever before, whether it’s smart wearables, machine control or digital twins, according to Leica. However, many companies are reluctant to use technology to its fullest potential, which creates data silos. The tangible benefits of eliminating silos include helping organizations complete projects on time, to specification and on budget, according to Leica. When teams operate from a single source of truth, it reduces the potential for mistakes and the need for rework. Eliminating rework also leads to safer job sites, reducing both monetary and human costs associated with accidents and mishaps, according

to Leica. How to Eliminate Data Silos Making the elimination of silos a reality requires a look at the technology deployed on the job site. Technology empowers teams to capture minute details about the job site in real time. Comparing this information to project plans requires stepping back

to consider every piece of equipment and every function performed on site. According to Leica, the first step is to ask simple yet critical questions: How does this equipment or this function play into the larger effort being expended on the job site? Is every function being captured and relayed to a central database? It’s not always about new technology; often, it’s about changing old habits, requiring teams to adjust their approach. Capturing data and working from a single source of truth isn’t a hindrance. Rather, it’s what makes the job site run smoother, added the company.

Making Job Sites Fully Connected As the workforce becomes more technologically advanced and digitally connected, it is naturally eliminating silos, but the opportunity for companies is to look at their workflows, see where the holdups exist and decide how to change them, according to Leica. Often, it doesn’t require a major overhaul. Rather, it necessitates small adjustments to ensure everything is aligned and fully connected. When this happens, silos don’t just Leica Geosystems graphic disappear; they become impossible to Safer job sites reduce financial and human costs associated with accidents and mishaps. create. 

Hyperscalers Create Big Demand for Skilled Workers JOBS from page 1

Data center “hyperscalers” Google, Amazon and Meta are funneling millions into the construction of mammoth data centers across the country. These mega projects require infrastructure, and the demand for craft workers to build the infrastructure is inflating worker salaries as a result. According to Fortune magazine, this year upwards of $100 billion could be invested by these tech companies into the U.S. data center buildout. Bank of America estimated global hyperscale spending rose 67 percent in 2025. The company expected another 31 percent rise this year. It reported a shocking $611 billion investment has been made in the nation’s AI buildout in just two years. And Fortune reports that as a result, construction workers are experiencing a pay bump for data center projects. Finding the right workers is still a challenge, though. “The AI race is now front-page news,” said Fraser Patterson, CEO and founder of Skillit, construction’s first AI-powered hiring platform. On a mission to fix the industry’s labor shortage, Skillit has been working on the labor infrastructure for AI construction projects. Zoom Out, Challenge Comes Into Focus “We’re in a multi-trillion-dollar buildout investment cycle that’ll support the energy, semiconductor and manufacturing sectors,” Patterson said. “There’s no AI without that infrastructure and there’s no infrastructure without skilled labor.” Suddenly, the industry is seeing a huge tech shift, added Patterson. And a problem that was persistent for years is now front and center. Alongside fuel, labor is the number one challenge in our ability to build out AI infrastructure, he said. That’s why there is so much interest in this problem. “I think for many years it wasn’t just underinvesting in American skilled craft workforce, but it also was misdiagnosing the problem,” he said. “We have something like 400,000 workers missing from about 8.3 million workers on the

union hall, or ‘this worker we just hired knows of a worker.’ It’s a very inefficient, painful process to discover, assess and bring skilled workers onboard. That’s the underlying problem, we believe.” He said if the company’s AIbased system could solve just this challenge, 95 percent of the construction workforce would become available for infrastructure jobs. “We’ve never before had workers be able to digitize who they are as a nuanced craft worker,” he said. Skillit’s team developed a construction-specific, craftworker-first onboarding experience. “As a result, we’re able to find them,” Patterson said.

HIPOWER: What to Know Before Choosing Generator Choosing the right generator size is essential to ensure reliability, protect your equipment and avoid unnecessary costs. Whether your genset will be used for continuous, prime or standby power, careful planning can help you avoid common pitfalls. Key factors to consider: 1. Start with the Load: The first and most critical step in sizing a generator is understanding your power requirements. Identify the loads that are essential to your operation and determine their power demands when utility power is unavailable. Create a list of all required loads, including their voltages, to size your generator correctly. Undersizing can lead to startup failures or even damage connected equipment. Conversely, oversizing can result in inefficient operation, increased maintenance and higher repair costs due to light loading. As businesses grow, power demands often increase. It’s common to oversize a genset by a margin to accommodate future expansion but avoid going too far — expansion plans that take too long

indicates their locked rotor current. Using this data helps achieve more accurate generator sizing. To manage reactive loads effectively and avoid oversizing, consider: Load sequencing: Bringing loads online in stages — allowing one motor to reach full operation before starting the next — can significantly reduce the generator’s required capacity. Advanced starters: Using soft starters or Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) can minimize the inrush current by controlling voltage and frequency during startup, allowing for a smaller genset without sacrificing performance. 3. Match Site Requirements: Voltage and frequency stability, as well as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), must meet the needs of your specific application. Generators used for life safety, fire prevention or other critical systems have stricter regulations, often dictated by local, state and national codes. Always verify that the engine and generator are correctly sized to meet these performance standards. 4. Choose the Right Fuel: Fuel type

to materialize can lead to unnecessary expenses. 2. Understand the Type of Load: Not all loads behave the same. Loads can be broadly divided into resistive and reactive (non-linear): Resistive loads (such as incandescent lighting or heating elements) draw the same current to start as they do to run. Reactive loads (such as motors, pumps and HVAC systems) require significantly more power to start, making them the biggest factor in generator sizing. Motors and similar equipment often list their NEMA code on data plates, which

is another important consideration for commercial and industrial generators. The three most common options are diesel, natural gas and propane, each with its own advantages: Diesel: On-site fuel storage, generally lower cost per kW (depending on emissions requirements), but higher fuel costs and emissions. Fuel must be delivered during extended outages. Natural Gas: Cleaner emissions, lower fuel costs and readily available if a gas line exists. Generators typically have a higher upfront cost, and new gas line installation may add expenses. Propane: On-site storage, relatively clean emissions and often lower fuel costs than diesel. Like diesel, fuel must be delivered during long outages and per kW costs tend to be higher. Each site has unique needs, so weigh the pros and cons carefully before deciding.

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

Underground Utility Damage Costs U.S. $83.2B Annually Yellow outline is cut line. DO NOT PRINT. Half Page Ad W- 10.125 H - 5.25

Damage to the utility lines beneath America’s feet costs the United States’ economy an estimated $83.2 billion every year — more than $227 million every day — according to a report released by Common Ground Alliance (CGA). The new estimate is nearly three times the widely cited $30 billion benchmark established in 2019. It reflects the rising number of damage incidents alongside the most comprehensive accounting of what happens after an underground power, gas, oil, communications, water or other critical utility is struck. The new report’s most striking finding: Repairing damaged utility lines represents just 5.9 percent of the total economic impact. For every dollar spent on direct repairs, nearly $16 is lost to consequences such as business interruptions, construction delays, emergency response, road closures, injuries, property damage and community disruption, according to the CGA. Damage to buried utilities costs more than $227 million every day according to CGA’s landmark new report. “This is a wake-up call for everyone who builds, operates, protects or depends on America’s critical infrastructure,” said CGA President and CEO Sarah K. Magruder

Lyle. “This first of its kind analysis puts a comprehensive number on the problem. An $83.2 billion annual impact makes clear that underground utility damage is not just an industry problem. It’s an economic problem, a public safety problem, a human impact problem and an infrastructure problem that threatens businesses, workers and taxpayers.” CGA’s new report, Between the Lines: The True Cost of Damages to America’s Buried Utilities, statistically models 668,999 damage incidents in 2025 and measures their consequences across five dimensions: direct repair, operational response, business and economic impact, human impact and community and environmental impact. The report arrives as excavation is accelerating nationwide to support broadband deployment, data center construction, energy and water upgrades, housing development and other major infrastructure projects, according to CGA. “America is investing historic sums in new infrastructure, yet damage to underground infrastructure is creating economic harm on a staggering scale,” Lyle said. Repair Bill Only the Beginning Of the estimated $83.2 billion annual impact:

• $32.6 billion, or 39.2 percent, falls on communities and the environment, including property and road restoration, disruption to public facilities, relocation support and environmental remediation. • $31.6 billion, or 38 percent, comes from business and economic disruption, including outages, lost revenue, delayed projects and reduced productivity. • $7.8 billion, or 9.4 percent, results from operational response, including emergency services, traffic control, investigations, insurance and regulatory compliance. • $6.2 billion, or 7.5 percent, reflects human impacts, including injuries, fatalities, medical costs, lost wages and long-term disability. • $4.9 billion, or 5.9 percent, is attributable to direct repair of buried utilities. Community, environmental and business consequences alone total $64.2 billion — more than three-quarters of the overall impact, according to the report. The report also reveals that incidents that don’t draw national attention result in enormous costs to communities. Moderate incidents represent approximately one-fifth of modeled damages but generate $64.5 billion — more than three-quarters — of the total economic impact. Damage in urban

areas accounts for $77.9 billion. $83.2 billion in preventable damages could fund numerous national, state and local budget priorities, according to CGA.

Putting Billions In Perspective According to CGA, the scale of the economic loss, the $83.2 billion annual economic impact is equivalent in scale to: • Paying the average electric bill for 48 million American households for an entire year; • Paying the average natural gas bill for 97 million American households for a year; • 17 months of full federal highway funding for all 50 states; and • The entire combined annual state budgets of Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Vermont, Montana, Maine and Rhode Island.

Five Years of Damage Could Erase Investment If annual damage costs remain at their current level, the cumulative economic impact would reach approximately $416 billion over five years. That’s nearly onethird of the entire $1.4 trillion electric grid modernization investment anticipated from 2026-2030, according to CGA. 

The New Deal’s Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) provided workers to build the road, according to the National Park Service. “Road improvements and maintenance work were central features of the New Deal’s Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Project Administration (WPA) programs,” it wrote. “From 1933 to 1938, thousands of unemployed men and youths from virtually every state were put to work as laborers on road gangs.” “At that time, the New Mexico Department of Transportation did a lot of their own construction, Chalmers said. “They had their own equipment: hydraulic bulldozers, concrete mixers, batch plants. So, a lot of that technology already existed. I think a lot of that was based on the railroads.” Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation website shows the construction in 1919 of the first section of what would become Route 66 in Oklahoma, with a “waterbound macadam surface, macadam base and ‘Topeka asphalt’ surface placed near the state capitol.” “The first concrete pavement (with exposed concrete surface) was a 7.825 lane-mile section placed in 1922 from Tulsa to Catoosa,” according to roadsandbridges.com. Missouri declared its stretch of Route 66 fully paved in 1931. That March, the Laclede County Republican, of Lebanon, Mo., reported on a celebration of the completed road. At the gathering, Charles U. Becker, Missouri’s then secretary of state, recalled the situation a dozen years earlier, “when Missouri still was ‘in the mud’ … and the road system then was a helter-skelter maze of country roads, ‘nothing more than a disconnected chain of cow paths.’” And Gov. Henry S. Caufield spoke of the expenditure of $12 million to bring Highway 66 to its “present state of perfection.”

“Having strategic partners … is a strong signal that the industry is ready for, and consolidating around, a new category of AIpowered craft hiring infrastructure.” Patterson said the construction industry is entering an era where workforce infrastructure is as critical as project management, procurement, and scheduling. “As a self-performing contractor, we understand firsthand how complex and dynamic the skilled craft labor needs are,” said Eric Lamb, DPR Construction board member. Lamb said Skillit’s platform reflects that direction as its AI-powered infrastructure helps DPR teams connect with talent in the skilled trades. DPR supports an approach “that expands access to meaningful work and drives more predictable outcomes for our project teams and their customers,” he added. Jit Kee Chin, chief technology officer of Suffolk Construction, said Skillit is addressing a critical gap in the industry with purpose-built technology. “Construction’s workforce challenges require new infrastructure and smarter systems,” said Chin, managing partner of Suffolk Technologies. Skillit’s technology is designed “for the realities of construction hiring and labor deployment,” Chin added. “As labor becomes the industry’s most constrained resource, the ability to attract and deploy skilled talent will increasingly define the winners and losers in construction,” he said. Skillit is creating the talent network for 80 percent of workers who don’t sit behind a

desk, said Diana Kay, Suffolk Technologies partner. In an era defined by renewed investment in physical industries, this fundamentally changes how labor is found, mobilized and managed.” Skillit also is being tapped by dozens in the construction sector, including Swinerton, Mortenson and Brasfield & Gorrie Industries. These relationships further support the company’s continued growth across the built world, said Patterson. He believes the challenge for skilled craft workers going through traditional recruiting channels is a lack of “first-principle thinking” on the part of the recruiters. Until now, “they didn’t have the insight into the fact that there’s not a shortage but an access problem,” he said. Recruiters, union hall conversations and word-of-mouth referrals don’t target the enterprise contractors who do 70 percent of the infrastructure work. He said until they find Skillit, customers are using online sites like Indeed or job boards and recruiters. “It’s not a great solution for all the points mentioned,” he said. “Many are using staffing agencies,” he added. “But that gets expensive if you’re scaling a data center project. Multiply that by 15 to 30 workers’ first year wages.” Furthermore, said Patterson, word-ofmouth and employee referrals can actually be a double-edged sword. “You hire a supervisor who comes with five workers. That works out great until the supervisor leaves and leaves with those five workers. It’s not a great strategy for now or for the future as America scales its AI and data center infrastructure.”  CEG

The campaign is anchored by a workforce-focused commercial that celebrates the people who build, power and feed America while highlighting the opportunities available across the skilled trades and manufacturing, according to I Make America. The commercial will run for three months across social media, digital video and connected television. “Manufacturing workers are helping build the future of this country, but too many people still do not understand the scale of our industry or the career opportunities

it provides,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM senior vice president of government and industry relations. “By joining forces with the mikeroweWORKS Foundation, we are challenging outdated perceptions and inspiring more people to build their futures with these family-sustaining careers.” Mike Rowe filmed the campaign during an appearance with the AEM Manufacturing Express at ConExpo-Con/ AGG, where he joined AEM leaders and equipment manufacturing workers to discuss the importance of skilled work, career and technical education and the role manufacturers play in strengthening local communities. “Campaigns like these are essential to closing America’s skills gap, by showing the next generation of skilled workers just how much opportunity is out there,” said Rowe. The campaign will run through the 2026 leg of the AEM Manufacturing Express tour, which kicked off on Sept. 1, 2026. 
