R.J. Noble Rehabs 15.3-Mi. Stretch of PCH R.J. Noble Inc. is rehabilitating a 15.3-mi. section of Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) in Southern California under a $52.28 million contract with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The South Bay to Santa Monica project began June 15, 2026, and is scheduled for completion in late 2028 or early 2029. The work extends from Paseo Las Delicias in Torrance to Dewey Street in Santa Monica, passing through Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Los Angeles and Santa Monica. The project includes resurfacing and repairing two to three lanes in each direction, upgrading curb ramps to current Americans with Disabilities Act standards, constructing bus pads, sidewalks and bike lanes, improving drainage systems and culverts, installing new guardrail and upgrading electrical and traffic-control infrastructure. New striping, loop detectors, signs, signal poles, pull boxes and accessible crosswalks also are part of the project. “This project is preserving and extending the life of existing pavement to improve ride quality, as well as increase vehicle and pedestrian safety, facilitate better movement of goods, and provide enhanced pedestrian accessibility,” said Peter Jones, a Caltrans District 7 spokesman.

Better Safe Than Sorry

Risks of Minimal Insurance Can Wipe Out Good Construction Businesses With One Incident For a small construction contractor, a single catastrophic loss — a defective job, equipment collision or employee injury — can quickly surpass total liability insurance limits. The risk of underinsuring a company, especially when construction costs and labor shortages are at an all-time high, can easily devastate a contractor and force him or her to shut the business doors.

3West Equipment Builds Hydraulic Breaker Business

After years of working in bridge construction and using hydraulic breakers for demolition, Spencer Flatt became frustrated with the cost of the equipment, replacement parts and the time it could take to get those parts when a breaker went down. Flatt grew up in the bridge construction business, accompanying his father to job sites at a young age. He worked summers during his teenage years before eventually joining the operation full time. That experience put Flatt behind the controls of the same type of equipment his customers use today. Hydraulic breakers were regularly needed for bridge demolition, and Flatt recalled buying an early refurbished breaker that cost more than some of the new units the Okarche, Okla.-based 3West sells today. Parts presented another problem. When something was needed, he said it could take a month or longer to arrive. “Things break. There’s no way around it,” Flatt said. “That’s one thing I wanted to really shine on, just parts and availability.” Those experiences eventually led Flatt to begin looking for a better option for his own construction operation. Drawing from years of operating and maintaining hydraulic breakers, Flatt focused on components that had caused problems with breakers he had used in the field. “Parts that we could change, we changed and just upgraded,” he said. Spencer Flatt (L) and Clyde Brushwood have built 3West Equipment around a lineup of hydraulic breakers designed The first 3West breaker arrived in 2019. Instead of immediately taking the product to market, for compact equipment through large excavators. Flatt put the breakers to work in the construction operation. He considers the first four to five years a design and four-and-a-half years before requiring what he described as a and rebuild their breakers rather than reach a point where testing period, using the breakers on bridge construction and “soft rebuild” of wearable components. replacing the entire unit becomes the more practical option. demolition projects while evaluating the product. As the 3West breakers proved themselves on the company’s 3West stocks replacement components and offers rebuild That testing exposed the breakers to demanding jobs, they began replacing other breakers Flatt had previously options for its breakers. The company provides a two-year applications. Flatt said the units have worked through hard used. What started as an effort to find a better option for his manufacturer warranty covering the case and major internal concrete and bedrock, with applications ranging from bridge own operation gradually developed into a business. components, according to Flatt. demolition to rock work. Those jobs gave him an opportunity Today, Spencer Flatt, Raymond Flatt and Clyde Brushwood For Flatt, the goal is straightforward: Provide contractors to see how the breakers and the changes made to their make up the 3West Equipment team as the company continues with a quality breaker and stand behind it with the parts and components performed under regular use. to grow its hydraulic breaker business. support to keep it working.  According to Flatt, the first unit operated for approximately 3West offers breakers for equipment ranging from compact (All photos courtesy of 3West Equipment.) machines and mini excavators to larger excavators used in construction, demolition and rock applications. Flatt said the smaller breakers also have opened the product line to different types of work. He discussed units being used with mini excavators and compact equipment for applications where contractors may be working in tighter spaces, while larger breakers are suited for heavier demolition and rock applications. Flatt’s experience as a contractor continues to influence how 3West works with customers. Rather than simply matching a breaker to the size of a machine, he considers how the customer plans to use it. Machine size, application and whether the carrier uses a quick coupler can affect the configuration. A contractor breaking concrete may have different requirements than one working continuously in limestone, granite or quarry applications. “What will you be using it for? What machine do you have?” are among the questions Flatt considers when helping a customer select a breaker. That approach comes from years of buying and operating equipment and understanding that the application can be just as important as the size of the carrier. Parts availability remains another priority for 3West. Excavators equipped with 3West Equipment hydraulic The hydraulic breaker’s versatility allows it to handle a Flatt said he wants customers to be able to maintain breakers perform concrete demolition on a bridge project. range of demolition and material-breaking applications.

Powerscreen of California Celebrates 40 Years of Service It has been 40 years since Paul Campbell started his Powerscreen dealership in Napa, having emigrated from Northern Ireland to Northern California in 1985. Previously working as a salesman for the Powerscreen factory, this was a massive leap for the entrepreneur. Today, this jump has turned into a lasting legacy on his business’ team, community and region. This impact was emphasized at the 40th anniversary event, where the 100-strong Powerscreen of California team gathered to share their memories over lunch. While the equipment, facilities and territories may have changed, the culture and people have stayed consistent. That is why 15 of the colleagues who attended the event have worked in the business for more than a decade. Starting out supplying only Powerscreen screeners, crushers were bought into the range as part of a merger with Terex in 2009. Ecotec and Terex Washing Systems were added in 2012, then CBI in 2015 and EvoQuip in 2016. The most recent additions include KOBELCO excavators (2023), Bell Trucks (2024), Hyundai wheel loaders and excavators (2024) and MAGNA crushers and screeners (2025). This allowed the business to adapt to the

changing needs of the local industry and customers. Similarly, the expansion from one to six locations across California, Nevada and Arizona hasn’t just been a marker of the business’s growth but has allowed it to shape the face of West Coast industries. Alongside long-standing relationships with a range of customers, the business played a key role in some of the region’s biggest infrastructure, construction, and environmental projects. This includes the development of the Giants’stadium and Apple headquarters, alongside the reconstruction of the Oroville Dam. The impact made by the company only

grew with the acquisition by Molson Group in 2022. Sharing the same values and customerfirst focus, this opened up new investment and growth opportunities while keeping what made the business successful intact. This will only continue as the business looks forward to the next 40 years. With sustainability and electrification appearing on the horizon, the company will continue to invest in supporting infrastructure and helping customers expand their capabilities, including advanced aggregate processing technologies. Paul Campbell, ambassador to Powerscreen of California, said, “Any

success we’ve had is because of the people around us, the customers who trusted us, the employees who dedicated their careers to the company, and the partners who helped us grow,” said Paul Campbell, ambassador to Powerscreen of California. With their talent and support, we’ll continue to succeed and make a positive impact on our local industry and communities.” Gary McConn, president of Powerscreen of California, who joined the business in 1997, added, “It’s been a privilege to watch the company grow.

Ransom Ranch Puts I Dig Texas Attachments to Work Managing nearly 1,400 acres in the Texas Hill Country means there is rarely a shortage of work for Colton Richardson. As ranch manager of Ransom Ranch in Spicewood, Texas, Richardson oversees the day-to-day operation of the property, from caring for cattle to maintaining roads, controlling brush and rebuilding miles of fence across rocky terrain. Ransom Ranch is a growing cattle operation with a Wagyu crossbred program. The Spicewood property supports approximately 48 head of cattle, with the herd continuing to grow as the operation develops. “A lot of it is property maintenance, brush cutting and cutting cedar trees,” Richardson said. “But we’re always taking care of cattle.” Much of that property work is performed with a skid steer and attachments from I Dig Texas. Ransom Ranch uses a variety of I Dig Texas attachments, including trenchers, brush cutters, augers, hay forks, a Texas Post Driver, road grader, tree shear and broom, along with a Hay Cactus Jack attachment for removing cactus. “If I’m running that skid steer, I’m hooked up to one of their products,” Richardson said. Building Fence in Hill Country Rock Among those attachments, the Texas Post Driver Premium TPD-1250 has become particularly useful as Ransom Ranch rebuilds its interior fencing. Richardson said much of the property’s older fencing was only 36 to 40 in. high. The ranch has been replacing it with 52-in. fencing and has completed approximately

3 mi. of interior fence. The rocky Hill Country terrain can make that work difficult. “We used to auger holes, concrete the posts in, then you’ve got to let them sit overnight,” Richardson said. “Or we’d hit a rock, and have to jackhammer the rock out so we could get the post deep enough.” The I Dig Texas TPD-1250 is rated at an energy class of 1,250 ft.-lbs. and can be equipped with interchangeable tools for driving posts or breaking rock.

Richardson said he typically uses 2 7/8in. drill stem for fence posts and uses the post driver’s breaker point when he encounters rock. “They sent it with a bit, and it’s great at breaking rock,” Richardson said. “You sit on that tool long enough, it’ll drive through anything.” The biggest difference for Richardson has been time. Using the previous process, he estimated that constructing a mile of fence could

take a week to a week and a half. With the post driver, he said he can complete approximately the same distance in three days. “Now I can just punch the post in and be done,” Richardson said. The post driver also has been put to work on other projects around the ranch. Richardson used it to construct a water gap, driving 6-in. pipe approximately 10 ft. into the ground before building the remainder of the structure. Another water gap damaged by heavy rain is among his upcoming projects. Fencing represents only part of the work Richardson handles with I Dig Texas attachments. For Richardson, working with I Dig Texas is also about being able to explain the job he needs to accomplish and discuss which attachment fits the application. “If you need something, I’ll call in and say, ‘This is what I need to do. Do you guys have something that’ll fit the application?’“ Richardson said. “We’ll sit on the phone and talk through several different attachments and what would work, what would work better and what’s just not really going to work for me.” That approach has helped Richardson find equipment for the different demands of Ransom Ranch, from fencing and road maintenance to clearing brush, cedar and cactus across the property. “They’re very customer first,” Richardson said. “They’re not just trying to make a dollar. They’re trying to actually help you.” For Richardson, that means spending less time figuring out how to tackle the next job and more time getting it done.  (All photos by CEG.)

Toku Provides Q&A of Issues Facing Dealers, Contractors By Toku America SPECIAL TO CEG

The Demolition Equipment Market size was valued at $5.52 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $8.93 billion by 2032 — registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0 percent during the forecast period 2026 to 2032. The global quarry equipment market alone is anticipated to reach $10 billion by 2035 with North America expected to dominate the market — driven by significant investments in infrastructure and urban development. Consequently, the demand for advanced demolition equipment such as crushers, breakers, shears and excavators, often featuring smart mining and automation, is crucial driver in the race toward increasing productivity and reducing operational costs. In response to this steady market growth, Matthew Gruden, Toku America Inc. president, offers some insights to key issues facing the construction demolition market in the following Q&A analysis. With the rising trend of ‘smart machinery’, how is Toku responding to it and what products and technological advancements are leading the way? Gruden: “With the goal of enhancing efficiency and productivity, the demand for automated and smart equipment is on the rise — pushing the market towards more sustainable practices. The introduction of smart machinery equipped with advanced features like automation and enhanced safety measures continues to improve operational efficiency and reduce labor costs. “Toku is now offering telematics units by Trusted in the U.S. marketplace that provides GPS data on location of attachments,

prevents theft or loss and offers geofencing that creates virtual boundaries around specific geographic areas. All data is available to the customer through a portal providing actual and proper utilization data, and predictive maintenance.” What are the most current and pressing government/regulatory issues facing the demolition market? Gruden: “Due to noise constraints, you are seeing more large metropolitan areas mandating ‘silent demolition’. In the past, hydraulic breakers, which are very noisy, were used almost 100 percent of the time to break concrete and other aggregates. Due to these mandates, you are seeing more and more pulverizers being used to break concrete due to the

minimal noise created. “Governments are also promoting safer demolition practices to minimize accidents, control dust and reduce environmental impact. This regulatory push is expected to increase the adoption of modern, high-performance equipment across both public and private projects. Rising government investment and regulatory mandates support this adoption.” How do Toku’s products address high equipment and maintenance costs? Gruden: “Demolition equipment such as excavators, crushers and hydraulic breakers involves a high initial investment and significant upkeep costs. Regular maintenance and spare parts replacement can be substantial.

These costs may discourage smaller contractors from adopting advanced equipment, limiting market growth. “To offset this, Toku offers a 3-year warranty on hydraulic breakers. They also feature only two moving parts. There is also a removable wear pad on our hydraulic pulverizers — eliminating the need for cutting out and welding on the new wear pad. Now, you just bolt it on which is less labor intensive. “The company’s service profile also offers hydraulic breaker rebuild options including: master seal kit, front tool bushing, spring pins/stopper pins, retainer pins, labor and return freight. Additional parts and labor will be quoted as needed prior to repairs.” How do Toku’s products

address stringent safety concerns? Gruden: “Demolition work often involves high operational risks such as structural collapses, flying debris and equipment malfunctions. This increases insurance costs and liability concerns for contractors as demolition activities are subject to strict safety and environmental standards. Compliance with regulations related to these often requires costly upgrades, specialized attachments and additional permits. Failure to meet these requirements can lead to fines and project delays, discouraging investment in new equipment. “The Toku hydraulic breaker operates as a hybrid essentially, meaning that it runs both off of gas and hydraulics and it has a low pressure gas charge. Many competitive products operate off a high pressure gas charge, meaning that it is far more dangerous to disassemble and repair their hydraulic breakers due to the risk associated with a high pressure gas charge.” Do Toku’s portfolio of products address the trending lack of skilled operators facing the market? Gruden: “A shortage of properly skilled operators can affect equipment utilization rates and project timelines. More so than lack of operators, however, there is a lack of labor in general so there is a greater demand for products that offer higher production with fewer operational support requirements. “Many of the Toku products can get the same amount of work done as 2-3 employees. In this particular case, let’s highlight the 2M-MSSLD which is the hydraulic hammer that is typically placed on a walk behind skid steer. Instead of 2-3 people breaking a see TOKU page 20

patio or sidewalk with jack hammers — or even more labor-intensive sledge hammers. The 2M-MSSLD will efficiently complete in a fraction of time with one person — versus the job of 2-3 people in a day.” What Toku products are best suited for demolition equipment by market application: i.e.-commercial buildings, residential buildings, industrial buildings, infrastructure, quarry, etc. Gruden: “While hydraulic breakers are our core product, we offer a full line of demolition equipment, including multiprocessors, crushers, pulverizers (both rotating and fixed), scrap shears, sorting grapples and hydraulic magnets. Equipment durability and high operational control strengthen segment preference. “Hydraulic breakers are expected to expand steadily due to their precision in breaking concrete, rocks and heavy structures. Growing demand in both urban and industrial demolition projects is likely to drive adoption.” What Toku products help the trend of sustainable recycling practices? Gruden: “Years ago, concrete and rebar could be recycled together, however, governmental stipulations now require all rebar to be out of concrete when going to the dump. Toku released a hydraulically driven sorting magnet that efficiently sorts through the crushed concrete, thus separating the rebar and the concrete. This magnet eliminates much of the manual labor associated with separating the materials. “Notably, Toku’s Striker FPV Series fixed hydraulic pulverizer secondary attachment is uniquely engineered for reduction and fragmentation of demolished materials, making disposal and recycling easier by separating the rebar from the concrete — delivering reliability, precision and optimal crushing force. What is the market outlook for demolition equipment in 2026 and beyond, and what does Toku see as the most pressing issues moving forward? Gruden: “I believe the overall construction market has been saturated with an over abundance of equipment due to over purchasing during COVID from 2021-2023. There were long lead times and backorders, and thus 2024 and 2025 saw less purchasing due to this. I believe that 2026 will see an increase in both equipment sales as well as attachments. “In addition, 2024 and 2025 saw higher interest rates than prior years, which also created a challenge to both dealers and endusers. With the rates coming down some and

the market now hungry for equipment, I feel we will see some growth in 2026.” Are there any specific challenges in the quarry market that Toku’s line solves uniquely? Gruden: “Hydraulic breakers in a quarry are subjected to an extreme environment, and will often see use a daily basis of 12 or more hours, which will shorten the product’s life. That said, the first area to start to prematurely wear out is the box housing. “Toku has developed an extreme duty package that will significantly increase the life of the box housing. Notably, it is manufactured from high-strength, wearresistant Hardox steel — known for its hardness and durability. This results in a longer product life, as well as less maintenance — which will equal more uptime for the customer as well.” How does Toku collaborate with enduser clients to maximize product/project efficiency? Gruden: “Toku has a long history of customer involvement in product development and has tested many products with customers in tough environments prior to official product release to ensure capabilities in all environments. Toku also has an engineering team available with over 40 years of experience to provide guidance and technical support in choosing the rock breaker system specific to customers’ needs.” How have supply chain issues affected Toku and how are they being addressed? Gruden: “Toku has addressed supply chain issues by maintaining approximately 4 months of inventory versus one to two months inventory in the past (on both whole goods and replacement parts) to ensure customer availability. We also push for domestic suppliers of components when possible.” What impact are tariffs (such as steel) having on demolition markets and how is Toku responding? Gruden: “Basically, all demolition attachments are manufactured somewhere other than the United States. Tariffs on imported steel could potentially increase costs for demolition equipment. U.S. tariffs on steel may lead to higher machinery expenses, such as excavators. This means that Toku, as well as our competitors, have had the same challenges with tariffs and have had to increase our pricing accordingly.” For more information, visit toku-america. com.

FAE Brings Global Equipment Community Together in Italy Katherine Petrik

CEG SENIOR EDITOR

onstruction Equipment Guide was recently invited inside the Live the Difference 2026 experience, in which FAE welcomed hundreds of customers, dealers, business partners and employees from around the world to northern Italy. This global gathering was designed by FAE to showcase not only the company’s equipment and manufacturing capabilities, but also the people, relationships and culture behind the FAE brand. More than a traditional equipment event, Live the Difference gave guests from more than 40 countries an inside look at FAE through factory tours, live demonstrations of the manufacturing and testing processes and activities unique to the region — bringing together the company’s international community in the place where FAE began. The event began with tours of FAE’s production facilities in Gambellara, in the province of Vicenza, and Fondo, in the Val di Non region of Trentino. The tours gave attendees an opportunity to see FAE’s most advanced manufacturing operations and learn more about the production of the company’s equipment and attachments. Numerous cutting-edge processes were on display, from laser cutting and sheet metal bending to automated welding.

(L-R): After touring the mechanical technologies plant, FAE USA CEO Giorgio Carera discusses the manufacturing process with Blake Heller and Tabo Sotto of BurnBot, fire mitigation specialists based in San Francisco, Calif. FAE brought customers, dealers, employees and business partners from around the world together in Italy for Live the Difference 2026, a two-day event featuring factory tours, equipment demonstrations, product displays and opportunities to experience FAE equipment firsthand.

The Fondo facility is located in the Val di Non, a region known for its apple production, historic castles and mountain scenery. The area, sometimes referred to as the “Valley of Castles” or “Valley of Apples” provided an interesting backdrop to the factory portion of the event. Here, guests witnessed the advanced rotor balancing process, precision assembly, stateof-the-art final testing and quality control procedures.

The second day, which brought guests to the FAE offices in Fondo, took on a festive atmosphere with displays of FAE’s lineup of equipment for forestry, land clearing, agriculture and road construction, along with entertainment and remarks from FAE President Diego Scanzoni and branch CEOs from around the world, including the USA, Canada, Germany, France, China, Japan, and Australia. see FAE page 26

Tours of the tracked carrier plant provided a view of how the remote-controlled units (RCU line) are built and tested. This new plant opened a couple of years ago and these are the first tour groups to visit.

Host of the event, Diego Scanzoni, president of FAE Group, spoke on several occasions and was so thankful for the worldwide attendance of FAE staff, dealers, partner manufacturers and special guests.

Toku Promotes Advanced Attachments, Support Suite Today’s demolition equipment dealers are increasingly being encouraged — and in some cases required — to become “onestop shops” offering a suite of products and services under one roof or brand. This increasing demand is driven by evolving market dynamics, OEM strategies and customer expectations. In this onestop- shop model, OEMs are demanding more integrated supplier support, not just for equipment but for complementary parts, specialized attachments, tooling and valueadded services. Notably, the value of attachments in this trend is a critical component of the demolition equipment dealer market because they significantly enhance the efficiency, safety and versatility of demolition operations. The global hydraulic attachments for the demolition market was valued at $3.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach FPV Series Fixed Pulverizer

$4.89 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.2 percent. The United States market accounts for nearly 27 percent of global share. Attachments like hydraulic breakers, shears, crushers, grapples and multiprocessors enable contractors to handle a wide range of materials (concrete, steel, rock) without switching equipment. In fact, SH Series advanced attachments improve demolition Shears efficiency by 55 percent and reduce downtime by 30 percent through better tool integration and automation. This versatility allows dealers to offer one-stop solutions for a myriad of demolition needs. To support this dealer dilemma head-on, Toku America continues to expand its base beyond STRIKER hydraulic breakers with a full line of STRIKER hydraulic breaker RV Series demolition attachments to meet specific Rotating Pulverizer applications including: RS Series Crusher: A high-performance its innovative PRV (pressure relief valve) concrete-crushing machine built with system protects the crusher from hydraulic HARDOX and WELDOX for durability, pressure spikes. it features two large cylinders, hydraulic RV Series Rotating Pulverizer: Built 360-degree rotation, and precise jaw with HARDOX 400, the durable pulverizer positioning for efficiency in any work delivers 360-degree hydraulic rotation for condition.

FAE’s ‘Live the Difference’ Brings Dealers, Customers Together FAE from page 23

FAE USA CEO Giorgio Carera welcomed the guests from the United States by inviting the crowd to give them a big round of applause. He continued: “Tonight, we are celebrating more than a company. We are celebrating a community — a community built on relationships, trust, and shared values. We are proud of what we have accomplished together over the years, and we believe the best is yet to come. Welcome to the FAE family, welcome to our community, and welcome to our home. Let’s continue to make a difference.” A focal point of the event was the FAE Village, where attendees could see equipment and technology up close. The displays provided an opportunity to examine FAE’s machines and attachments, providing insight into performance in the field. As the sun began to set over the valley surrounding FAE’s Fondo facility, the “FAE Village Experience” moved toward what appeared to be its grand finale. Hundreds of drones took to the sky, creating a choreographed light show against the mountain backdrop, drawing the attention of the entire crowd by depicting FAE equipment, imagery representative of the FAE story, and ending with an inspiring, glowing FAE logo. Following the drone show, guests were guided into a previously unseen area of FAE’s PT production facility: one that had intentionally been left out of the earlier factory tours. Inside, the industrial space had been completely transformed to accommodate more than 1,000 guests for dinner and an immersive, futuristic show that would bring the evening to a close. Before the Live the Difference celebration dinner, FAE President Diego Scanzoni welcomed guests from around the world to the celebration, opening his captivating speech with the following words: “This event isn’t celebrating any particular milestone. More than a year ago, we simply decided that the time had come to do something I’d had in mind for some time. To take the opportunity to pause and say thank you. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us over all these years. Thank you for continuing to choose our products. Thank you for continuing to believe in FAE. see FAE page 30

Single Claim Can Threaten Viability for Underinsured INSURANCE from page 1

It’s traditionally been common practice for insurance providers to base suggested insurance limits on a contractor company’s annual revenue. All that changed in the past decade. Now revenue alone is no longer a reliable indicator of potential loss severity, said one broker. Chris Ciccarelli, vice president of Amwins Brokerage New Jersey, sees claim severity outgrowing small trade contractors. In a September Insurance Journal article, Ciccarelli wrote that a single catastrophic loss that exceeds liability limits can threaten financial viability. “Small trade contractors face many of the same risk exposures as their larger industry peers,” he wrote. These contractors work on high-risk job sites, operate commercial vehicles and equipment and assume similar liability on their projects, he said. “One loss can quickly exceed the size of the business itself,” especially in light of higher construction costs, labor shortages and increasingly severe claims. Plus, the cost of insuring small to medium-sized trade contractors is growing. In early 2024, the average cost of commercial insurance rose 6.3 percent. Saving money on insurance costs is top of mind especially for small contractors, said Corey Sheridan, chief operating officer, Affordable Contractors Insurance. He said as insurance costs rise, many contractors opt for the minimum coverage necessary to meet contractual requirements and maintain cash flow. In an article for Construction Executive, Sheridan said this strategy might offer short-term financial relief. “But it can expose contractors to significant risks and potential financial ruin if unexpected events occur,” he said. “When contractors opt for the minimum insurance coverage, they expose themselves to a range of significant risks that can have severe consequences.” Financial liability is one of the most immediate dangers, but legal complications are another risk, said Sheridan. “Minimum coverage may not always meet all legal requirements, especially if regulations change or if a particular project has specific insurance mandates.” In fact, in some jurisdictions, minimum policies might fail to address stringent insurance regulations. Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to serious consequences, such as legal penalties, project shutdowns or prolonged and costly legal battles. Not only can they drain a contractor’s resources and delay project timelines, but the damage to a contractor’s reputation can be substantial. “If clients and partners perceive a business as unreliable or untrustworthy due to inadequate insurance coverage, this perception can lead to lost opportunities,” he said. A decline in business prospects can further compound the contractor’s challenges, he added. Plus, there’s the risk of losing valuable business assets. Contractors who do not have sufficient insurance coverage are at risk of losing equipment and materials in the event of theft, damage or disaster. Navigating Construction Business Storms But if revenue is no longer the sole measure of insurance coverage, then agents and brokers must dig deeper to assess a contractor’s risk potential. A provider must look at the full scope of an insured’s risk

Small contractors and subcontractors run the gamut of construct specialties, each with their own risks and challenges.

as well as his or her operations, the type of work done and the liability they assume. Only then can the broker establish limits that truly address exposures contractors face on the job,” said Ciccarelli of Amwins Brokerage. Though the nature of their work may vary and they may face different exposures, three challenges raise the stakes for all small trade contractors today. Ciccarelli believes these challenges are higher materials and labor costs, auto exposures and claim and litigation costs. Though small contractors may set work fees, material and labor availability and costs can change all that as they fluctuate during a project. Budget pressures can push a contractor to look for cheaper materials or sign on less-skilled labor to balance his or her costs and meet tight timelines. A small trade contractor looking to take on more jobs has to weigh time constraints, budget pressures and quality of work, said Ciccarelli. Despite the idea that small trade contractors manage smaller vehicle fleets than larger companies, even one employee on the road means auto risk exposure. “Bodily injury claims as a result of auto accidents can quickly exceed an entire contractor’s revenue,” said Ciccarelli. “As the auto sector remains volatile and claims remain severe, contractors cannot overlook fleet risks alongside the work they perform.” Finally, he noted, skyrocketing jury awards in recent years have exacerbated potential claim severity. Investigating and defending a claim is costly. A construction defect claim alone can impact several parties involved in a project. Determining who performed the work, when damage began and how far it spread can get quite complicated. Subcontractors could find themselves brought into litigation, as well, said Cicarrelli. They, too, can accrue significant costs to investigate and defend a claim. Agents serving as resources for their small trade contractor clients must start by looking beyond the general overview of

the insured, said Ciccarelli. He suggests that instead providers work to understand exactly what their clients do and how they operate. “Agents should work to understand where an insured operates, with whom they work, and how they perform work.” How are labor and material shortages impacting operations? How are contractors keeping up with tight schedules? How does the insured vet subcontractors? Does the insured rely only on certificates of insurance, or do they review policies and endorsements? Ciccarelli believes agents should not be aiming to make their clients appear risk-free. “Instead, agents should make sure the insured, agent and carrier understand the actual risk exposures at play and the coverage in place to combat them,” he said. By understanding the contractual obligations insureds are navigating, agents can in turn ensure their insurance portfolio aligns with their commitments. “For example, an insured might agree in a contract to maintain certain excess limits without realizing subcontractors are expected to carry the same.” If a contractor does not meet those requirements or appropriately transfer risk, he said, they could be left responsible for any contract gaps. “While insureds cannot control rising costs or how a jury might view a claim, they can make their business more defensible in the event of one.” Ciccarelli believes that concept of defensiblity begins with establishing a culture of safety. “Regular safety talks, documented procedures and visible safety practices can prove that a contractor prioritizes safety throughout an entire operation,” he said. These practices do not begin and end on a contractor’s property, he stressed. Instead, they extend to fleets on the road and employees on job sites. Safety talks, particularly around driving techniques and how to manage other drivers in the field, ensures that culture of safety spreads across the company. see INSURANCE page 60

ADA Concrete Work Provides Challenge for Contractor

The project includes resurfacing and repairing two to three lanes in each direction, upgrading curb ramps to current Americans with Disabilities Act standards and constructing bus pads, sidewalks and bike lanes, among other things. PCH from page 1

Much of the work is being performed during weekday overnight hours to minimize impacts on residents, businesses and motorists. Moving Toward Paving R.J. Noble, which was awarded the multi-year project in 2025, has completed or is progressing on ADA ramps, electrical improvements, bus pads and slab replacements, also known as cross gutters. Over the coming year, the contractor will complete much of the concrete and electrical work while transitioning into the project’s major asphalt paving operations. The paving schedule is being coordinated with preparations for the 2028 Summer Olympics. “We anticipate beginning the paving operation tentatively in mid-November, inclusive of the segment between Venice Boulevard and Dewey Street,” said Francis Garcia, R.J. Noble’s senior project manager. The first resurfacing and pavement rehabilitation phase runs from Station 1698+00 to 1762+00 and must be completed within 250 working days. Paving in that segment is expected to be completed by the end of November. “Once complete, we’ll proceed south through the project and turn around every 5-mile segment,” Garcia said. “At some point, the paving, electrical loops and striping will work simultaneously in different phases of the project like a conveyor belt.” Approximately 90 percent of the pavement rehabilitation will use rubberized hot mix asphalt gap graded (RHMA-G). The work is progressing from the northern end of the project southward. Approximately 70,000 tons of existing pavement will be milled and replaced with about 70,000 tons of new asphalt. The milled material cannot be recycled on site. “The majority of the project is designed for a .20-ft. pavement section on 80 percent of the project,” Garcia said. Milling and paving operations will occur simultaneously, allowing crews to mill and repave the roadway during the same overnight work window. For the cold-planing and overlay operations, R.J. Noble is using a Roadtec RX700e-3 cold planer, Roadtec RP-250e paver and a Cat CB10 roller.

Milling and paving operations will occur simultaneously, allowing crews to mill and repave the roadway during the same overnight work window.

Paving operations generally will be conducted in 1- to 1.5-lane-mi. segments. Other work, including concrete ramps, slab replacements, bus pads, electrical modifications, inductive loops, striping and drainage improvements, will take place in shorter segments. Full-depth reconstruction ranging from 3 to 8 in. will be performed at most intersections. ADA Work Presents Challenge One of the project’s biggest logistical challenges involves reconstructing the numerous ADA curb ramps while maintaining safe access for the public. Garcia said the previous Pacific Coast Highway project used rapid-set concrete for ADA ramps, allowing crews to pour, strip forms and backfill curb slots during the same overnight shift.

More than 25 R.J. Noble and subcontractor personnel can be on site during busy shifts.

The current project specifications call for conventional minor concrete, which requires a considerably longer construction sequence. “With minor concrete, the sequence is form and pour curb returns, strip curb return forms, form for landings, pour landings, allow for a 24-hour cure and hope that by Thursday night the ramp is cured enough to strip the forms and backfill the slot with asphalt in time for the weekend,” Garcia said. The difference has increased the amount of time individual ramp locations remain under construction. R.J. Noble and Caltrans are discussing whether the construction methodology can be modified to accelerate the work. “The change will result in a significant cost increase,” Garcia said, “however, safety for the traveling public and convenience should be considered.” To date, the project has not encountered significant soil, water or utility conflicts. “While the job doesn’t anticipate any issues with underground work, it doesn’t mean there won’t be,” Garcia said. Drainage Work Ahead Drainage improvements at the southern end of the project near Palos Verdes Boulevard are scheduled to begin in early 2027, potentially in March or April. The work will start with excavation and removal of existing facilities, followed by installation of reinforced concrete pipe, culverts and catch basins. Crews then will construct the associated concrete flatwork and turn pockets. “It may be completed concurrently with other operations, just depending on the phasing and progression of the schedule,” Garcia said. Equipment for the drainage work will include a backhoe, excavator, skiploader and steel-drum roller. The paving operation will use the same basic paver and roller equipment deployed elsewhere on the project. Guardrail work at Culver Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard has been completed. The work included a concrete anchor block, Midwest Guardrail System and vegetation control. O’Duffy Construction performed the anchor-block work and Maneri Traffic Control installed the guardrail. see PCH page 55

The project represents a $1 billion-plus investment in power infrastructure that will help strengthen grid reliability, reduce congestion and expand access to diverse power supply resources across the West. “Reliable power increasingly depends on our ability to move electricity across regions, and that requires major investment in transmission,” LS Power CEO Paul Segal said. “SWIP-North will complete an important new pathway between the Pacific Northwest and the Desert Southwest, improving reliability and giving the Western grid greater flexibility. Projects of this scale take persistence, and we’re proud to have spent more than two decades advancing this corridor to construction.” SWIP-North is the final segment of the Southwest Intertie Project — a transmission corridor first conceived in the 1980s and advanced by LS Power since it acquired development rights in 2005. Once complete, the corridor will span 576 mi., connecting Idaho’s Magic Valley near Twin Falls to Nevada’s Eldorado Valley south of Las Vegas. More than 70 percent of SWIP-North will be built in Nevada. Once in service, it

will complete a high-voltage transmission corridor stretching from southern Idaho to southern Nevada, building on two earlier phases developed by LS Power: the 231mi. One Nevada Transmission Line (ON Line), built in partnership with NV Energy and placed in service in 2014, and the 60mi. DesertLink line, placed in service in 2020. Together, these transmission paths create a critical link in the regional grid and enhance reliability through their connection to the California Independent System Operator (California ISO). “Construction of this last phase of the Southwest Intertie Project underscores Nevada’s position as a strategic energy hub

for the West,” Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo said. “SWIP-North will provide benefits for Nevadans, including additional transmission capacity, new energy import and export opportunities, increased energy reliability for residents and businesses and enhanced resiliency against extreme weather events and wildfires.” Once SWIP-North is energized, the full transmission path will be capable of transmitting more than 2,000 megawatts (MW) of bidirectional electricity — the equivalent of serving more than 1.5 million homes — across the regional grid, including 500 MW of northbound capacity dedicated for Idaho Power customers. “SWIP-North represents a unique

cooperation between multiple regions, states and utilities — and a great example of innovation and collaboration between a private developer, LS Power; Western electric utilities, NV Energy and Idaho Power; and a regional grid operator, the California ISO, to balance cost allocation, capacity sharing and benefits,” LS Power President Paul Thessen said. Specifically, the California ISO, NV Energy and Idaho Power will all share capacity rights on the line. This stems from an agreement between NV Energy and LS Power affiliates whereby NV Energy covers all costs for ON Line; LS Power covers all costs for SWIP-North; and both share capacity across the full path. LS Power has assigned its capacity rights to the California ISO and Idaho Power. Construction on SWIP-North began in summer 2026 and is expected to be completed in 2028. Great Basin Transmission was selected by the California ISO in 2023 to develop, permit, finance, construct, own, operate and maintain the SWIP-North Project, with final cost recovery approval in 2024. Idaho Power obtained approval for participation in the project in 2025. LS Power Senior Vice President of Development Mark Milburn said the project will add approximately 300 construction jobs, generate more than $375 million in regional economic impact from construction-related activity and provide millions in property tax revenue annually. 

GridLiance West’s Transmission Upgrades Project Debuts GridLiance West, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Transmission LLC, joined federal, state and local leaders on Sept. 8, 2026, to celebrate the start of construction on the GridLiance West Core Upgrades Project. The $1 billion project includes approximately 155 mi. of new 230-kilovolt and 500-kilovolt transmission lines and new and upgraded substations in Nevada that will enhance the reliability of the electric grid and support the state’s continued economic growth. A contractor wasn’t named. The GridLiance West Core Upgrades Project represents a long-term investment in Nevada’s energy future. Designed to replace existing infrastructure and expand transmission capacity, the transmission upgrades will help ensure homes, businesses and industries have access to reliable

and affordable electricity for decades to come. When completed in mid2028, the expanded transmission network will unlock access to additional energy resources, create opportunities for new industrial investment and generate tax revenue for local communities

that will help support schools, emergency services and public infrastructure. The GridLiance West Core Upgrades project represents: • 500 jobs created during construction; • an estimated $90 million in property and sales tax revenue; and

• an estimated $553 million in annual economic impact. “This is a significant investment in Nevada’s energy future and demonstrates the critical role transmission infrastructure plays in powering homes, businesses and industries said Matt Valle, president of NextEra Energy Transmission.

Office of Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo photo GridLiance West joined federal, state and local leaders on Sept. 8, 2026, to celebrate the start of construction on the GridLiance West Core Upgrades Project.

“Economic growth depends on reliable, affordable electricity and the infrastructure needed to deliver it. Today’s groundbreaking reflects what can be achieved through strong collaboration among industry, government and local communities.” “This project is another important step toward securing Nevada’s energy future and strengthening our position as the energy hub of the West,” Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo said. “Reliable, affordable energy is essential to supporting Nevada’s growing economy, creating good-paying jobs and attracting new investment. By modernizing and expanding our transmission infrastructure, we are building the capacity needed to power Nevada’s continued growth and ensure our state is ready to meet the energy demands of the future.” 

Cleaner Way to Build — Felling Trailers Invests in People

Felling Trailers photo

Weld production

Felling Trailers, Inc. has made a series of major equipment and technology investments over the past few years aimed at reducing its environmental footprint while improving efficiency across its Sauk Centre and Litchfield, Minn., facilities. These investments continue an environmental commitment that earned the company the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers’ (NATM) Green Manufacturing Award in 2018 and reflect Felling’s belief that smart manufacturing and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. For Felling, sustainability isn’t a single achievement to point back to. It’s an ongoing way of doing business. One of the most visible changes has taken place on the

shop floor itself. Felling has completed a comprehensive LED lighting conversion across all 11 buildings on its Sauk Centre campus, replacing older fluorescent fixtures to improve visibility and reduce eyestrain for employees while cutting energy use. The retrofit of the shop production area alone reduced fixture wattage by more than half, saving an estimated $26,200 per year in energy costs; combined with upgrades to the corporate office parking lot and additional production buildings, the lighting projects now save the company more than $40,000 annually. At its Litchfield facility, Felling upgraded its welding fume and gas ventilation system from a soft start to a variable frequency drive (VFD), allowing the system to run at just 30 percent of its previous capacity while still fully

protecting employees’ breathing zones. This change also saves an estimated $25,400 per year in energy costs. The company’s environmental investments extend beyond its own walls: it bales cardboard from incoming shipments on site and donates it to Cardboard Cares. This local organization funds art education for K-12 students in the community. “Our team and our community are as much a part of this commitment as the environment itself,” said Brenda Jennissen, Felling Trailers president and CEO. “Every initiative we’ve added since 2018 has been chosen because it makes Felling a safer, cleaner place to work and a better community member to Sauk Centre.” see FELLING page 52

where America’s independence was celebrated 250 years ago and we thought EUFMC would be the perfect location to show off our American-made bucket trucks and this tribute to the nation’s 250th birthday,” Terex Utilities Product Marketing Manager Tyler Schwingler said. Following its debut at EUFMC, Terex Utilities’ TRX52 will be making stops at events in Minnesota, Texas and Nebraska through the end of July. Other equipment that Terex Utilities showcased at EUFMC was the new Terex TRX Series, the 3rd Eye 360-degree camera system and a hands-on demonstration of the Terex Flex Pro digger derrick controls. 

Belmont Trailers Announces ‘Trailer Studio’ Platform, an Interactive Online Configurator

Belmont Trailers announced the launch of Trailer Studio, an innovative online trailer configurator that gives customers and dealers a faster, easier and interactive way to design custom Belmont cargo trailers. The new platform will make its official debut during the 2026 NATDA Trailer Show in Nashville, where attendees will be among the first to experience its powerful capabilities. Trailer Studio transforms the trailerbuying experience by allowing users to configure a trailer from the ground up.

Every choice is instantly reflected on-screen, making it easier than ever to visualize the finished trailer before placing an order, according to Belmont. “Trailer Studio represents a significant step forward in how customers interact with

our products,” said Brian Simmons, sales manager. “Whether you’re a contractor, business owner, motorsports enthusiast or recreational user, this new tool gives you the confidence to build a trailer that’s tailored to your exact needs. It also helps our dealer network streamline the quoting and ordering process while ensuring greater accuracy.” Designed with both customers and dealers in mind, Trailer Studio offers a more intuitive purchasing experience by simplifying complex product selections and providing a clear visual representation of every configuration. Once a design is complete, users can review their selections and submit their build to an authorized Belmont dealer for pricing, availability and order placement.. Visitors attending the 2026 NATDA Trailer Show are invited to stop by the Belmont Trailers booth #2814 for a live demonstration of Trailer Studio and discover how the platform is changing the way custom cargo trailers are designed and ordered. 

Felling’s Factory Upgrades Benefit Employees, Environment FELLING from page 49

The company also partners with Clean Earth (formerly Stericycle) to properly manage liquid paint waste and fluorescent bulbs, recycling more than 3,000 bulbs following the lighting retrofit alone, and with EMR Northern Metal Recycling to recycle approximately 250,000 pounds of scrap steel every year. In 2025, Felling also recycled 4,000 pounds of used tires. Alongside these initiatives, Felling has made significant investments in cleaner manufacturing technology. A new 92,000-square-foot Powder Coat Paint Facility, added in 2023, expanded Felling’s finishing capabilities. The facility uses automated Gema Technology and a Therma-Tron-X sensor trolley track systems streamlining the application of a durable, consistent powder coat finish. The added capacity has also contributed to a reduction in Felling’s facility-wide volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, from 5.00t in 2024 to 3.49t in 2025. Powder coat and wet paint remain complementary finishing options at Felling, each suited to different trailer capacities, applications, and customer needs. Felling also upgraded its fiber laser cutting technology from 6kW to a 20kW Mitsubishi GX-F Fiber Laser, which cuts energy use per part, reduces reliance on delivered assist gases, and lowers material scrap through AI-based monitoring. A new BLM Group tube laser brought previously outsourced fabrication work in-house, cutting transportation needs and material waste, and five electric forklifts are now in daily use across the Sauk Centre and Litchfield facilities. “Investing in this equipment was as much a business

decision as an environmental one,” said Pat Jennissen, Felling Trailers vice president of sales and marketing “When we can cut waste, cut energy use, and build a better trailer at the same time, that’s the kind of investment that makes sense on every level.”

These investments mark the latest step in a commitment that has continued steadily since NATM first recognized Felling for its environmental initiatives in 2018. Nearly a decade later, the company continues to look forward for new ways to manufacture responsibly. 

Drainage Improvements On Tap for Contractor in 2027 PCH from page 44

The project uses standard MGS with an AGT tri-beam connection and SFT end treatment at the anchor block. Coordinating Crews, Equipment R.J. Noble’s management team includes General Superintendent Chuck Spiers, Senior Superintendent William Wright and On-Site Foreman Taylor Moore. Garcia said close coordination among the crews is essential because concrete and electrical operations frequently take place in the same work areas. “The team is very proactive and efficient,” he said. “We have open communications and receive constant updates on the scope. Between the current crews consisting of electrical and concrete, there is constant coordination to schedule and plan work effectively in order to efficiently complete the concrete work simultaneously with the electrical work.” More than 25 R.J. Noble and subcontractor personnel can be on site during busy shifts. Major subcontractors include Nobest Inc., which is handling concrete work, and California Professional Engineers. Together, the subcontractors account for approximately 30 percent of the contract. R.J. Noble generally owns the equipment it uses on the project but also works with vendors including Mr. Squirts Water Trucks, Sandoval Sweeping and Cutting Edge for equipment and support services.

Equipment maintenance is a key component of keeping the multi-year project on schedule. “The main repairs for the grinder equipment are the carbide teeth,” Garcia said. “At the end of each shift, we must inspect and replace any damaged teeth. Otherwise, most of the failures are very minor and do not impact production.” Mechanics are available on an on-call basis, while yearly, monthly and daily inspections are used to identify potential problems before they affect production. Garcia said maintaining strong relationships with equipment dealers and suppliers also contributes to safe and efficient operations. “The dealerships are helping by becoming a vital part of the operation in regards to housekeeping and maintaining clean and safe conditions at the construction site,” he said. “The basis of any relationship is loyalty.” As R.J. Noble moves from concrete and utility improvements into the project’s major paving phase, crews will increasingly work in overlapping segments along the 15.3-mi. corridor. The phased approach is intended to keep the heavily traveled highway operating while the contractor completes the pavement rehabilitation and accompanying safety, accessibility, drainage and traffic improvements.  CEG (All photos courtesy of Caltrans.)

To date, the project has not encountered significant soil, water or utility conflicts.

Implement Effective Strategies to Safeguard Business INSURANCE from page 36

“Agents should advise that safety policies, practices and discussions should be formalized, communicated to all employees and documented.” Once documented, they should be available for easily reference to address employee questions and any potential claims, added Ciccarelli. “Contractors who are pulled into litigation can prove a documented history of effective safety practices and paint a more accurate picture of how the business operates.” Ciccarelli believes smaller revenue does not necessarily mean fewer risks. Far from it, he said. Small contractors “assume significant exposures by the nature of their businesses, the organizations for whom they work, and the vehicles on which they depend.” Agents and brokers who understand those exposures can help ensure the right policies and limits are in place if a major loss occurs, he added. Putting Together Plans for Insurance Coverage Sheridan of Affordable Contractors Insurance said understanding the

complexities of obtaining comprehensive insurance coverage can be daunting. “But implementing effective strategies can safeguard a business against unforeseen risks,” he said. Here is his list of contractor considerations: • Conduct a risk assessment: Regularly evaluate potential risks specific to projects. Identifying these risks allows contractors

to determine the necessary coverage and avoid being underinsured. • Stay updated on regulations: Insurance requirements can vary significantly by region and project type. Keeping abreast of changes ensures coverage remains compliant and prevents legal issues. • Review the policy annually: As a

Traditionally, it was common practice to base suggested insurance limits on a contractor’s annual business revenue. All that changed in the past decade, and now providers recognize that revenue alone is no longer a reliable indicator of the severity of potential loss.

business grows and evolves, so do its insurance needs. Conducting an annual review with an insurance provider helps adjust coverage to match the current risk profile. • Invest in safety training: Reducing jobsite accidents not only protects the workforce but also minimizes insurance claims, potentially lowering premiums over time. • Document incidents thoroughly: In the event of a claim, detailed documentation can expedite the process and verify that the coverage is appropriate. Contractors should keep accurate records of incidents, including photos, witness statements and detailed reports. • Seek expert advice: Consulting with an insurance expert can provide tailored insights into the best coverage options for a business. Experts can help identify gaps in current policies and recommend appropriate solutions to mitigate risks. “These strategies allow contractors to better manage their insurance needs, guaranteeing they are well protected against potential liabilities,” said Sheridan. “This proactive approach secures the business and enhances its reputation and client trust.”  CEG
