Grimmer Construction Leads Franciscan Hospital JobGrimmer Construction Inc., a
northwest Indiana site-work andcivil contractor for undergroundutility installation, is known totackle some of the most challeng-ing underground projects in thearea, the INDOT 169th StreetReconstruction and Gary SouthLevee projects just to name a few.Founded in 1983 by Greg G.
Grimmer Sr., currently chairmanof the corporation, GrimmerConstruction “started primarily asa small underground contractordoing subdivision work. We havesince grown into doing civil, publicworks projects for the local munic-ipalities in Lake and Porter Countyin northwest Ind. state of Indianawork,” said Mark Grimmer, presi-dent, manages the company as partof the second generation including;John Grimmer, equipment manag-er; Dan Grimmer, project superin-tendent; and Margie Hofmann,project coordinator.To ensure the job runs smoothly,
the company relies on its fleet ofheavy equipment and those thatprovide it for them. “We do a mix of our equipment
fleet,” said Mark. “Primarily JohnDeere, Hitachi, Case, Kobelco andCaterpillar. We are currently aver-aging about 40 pieces of equip-ment including excavators, load-ers, dozers, scrapers, and articulat-ed dumps.”Recently, Grimmer Construction
was in the market for a new dozerto work on the Franciscan Hospitalproject in Munster, Ind.The project consists of a new
building addition and related sitework for General Contractor, Tonn& Blank of Michigan City. Grimmer turned to West Side
Tractor Sales Company, which hasa combined 10 stores to servicenorthern Illinois, southernMichigan and Indiana. West Side Tractor Sales
Representative Jeff Pratt recom-mended the John Deere 700Kdozer, which Grimmer purchasedand since then has been verypleased with. John Grimmer said, “The size of
the dozer was the right fit for cut-ting the roads, parking lots, and fin-ishing the earthwork. We were ableto hook up and utilize our GPSequipment for a smoother applica-tion and better efficiency.” Johncontinued, “the machine is very
versatile for small projects and italso has enough horsepower to dothe larger projects and move somedirt. One of the main reasons whywe chose the John Deere 700 sizeseries is that it’s not only a good fitfor this project, it can also work forthe local municipal street projectsand get it done quickly.”In addition to the dozer, Gimmer
Construction also purchased aTopcon MC2 from PositioningSolutions Company.Concerning the quality of serv-
ice given to them by the West SideTractor team, “We have been deal-ing with Jeff for roughly 15 years.Jeff takes care of the needs wehave and is very knowledgeable.When we have any questions, he isquick to answer. He knows thefield real well,” said Mark.

Crummy Roads an Issue in Michigan Governor’s RaceBy David EggertASSOCIATED PRESS
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP)When Democratic gubernatorial candidateMark Schauer took questions during a recentvisit to a union hall in suburban Detroit, meatcutter Jim Mesich brought up a long sourceof frustration for Michigan drivers: crummyroads. Why not, he asked Schauer, repeal a busi-
ness tax cut and put all the money towardimproving roads? Better that, he said, thanasking “common guys’’ to pay more at thepump. Schauer criticized Republican Gov. Rick
Snyder for being unable to persuade theGOP-led Legislature to pass a road-fundingfix and said Snyder’s “trying to raise taxeson you’’ through proposed higher gasolineand vehicle registration taxes. But Schauerwas less specific in detailing how he as gov-ernor would raise the minimum $1.2 billionmore a year that Snyder said is needed toavoid drastic deterioration of roads andbridges. Schauer favors keeping in place the cor-
porate income tax that Snyder enacted, sothat’s off the table as a potential pot of
money. He said he would look for savings instate departments to redirect to the trans-portation budget, lobby Congress to sendmore federal gasoline tax revenue back toMichigan and ask companies to pay their“fair share’’ in increased fees on overweightand oversized trucks. It’s unlikely those moves alone would
generate enough money, however, or be seenas a permanent road-funding solution. AHouse-approved bill that’s pending in theSenate, for instance, would generate just$8.6 million more than the current $4 milliona year in special fees assessed on heavytrucks — a fraction of the $3.7 billion trans-portation budget. Schauer, who voted for Michigan’s last
state gas tax hike as a freshman lawmaker in1997, may be leaving the door open toanother one. He criticized the idea whenunveiling his jobs plan in July, but whenasked in September by The Associated Pressif he was ruling out gas tax or license platefee increases, he said: “I’m just saying wehave to do this fairly.’’ Snyder and Republican legislators, he
said, “have proposed tax increases on thesame people they’ve already raised taxeson’’ — a reference to the 2011 tax overhaul
that slashed business taxes but eliminated orreduced tax exemptions on retirementincome and credits for homeowners, renters,children and low-income earners. Beforetalks on road funding stalled in June,Democratic legislators pushed for bills thatwould make more homeowners and renterseligible for an income tax break, a demandthey wanted in exchange for helpingincrease the gas tax. Both gubernatorial candidates agree
something must be done. Michigan spends less per driver on roads
than any other state. It ranks 33rd in spend-ing per lane mile and 47th per vehicle miletraveled, according to a state TransportationDepartment review of 2012 FederalHighway Administration Data. Yet Michigan also has some of the coun-
try’s highest taxes at the pump, about 10cents a gallon above the national average.That’s because the 6 percent sales tax also isapplied to motor fuel but mostly goes toschools and local governments under thestate constitution. Flat per-gallon fuel taxes — 19 cents for
gasoline, 15 cents for diesel — are faultedfor declining state transportation revenue aspeople drive less and with more fuel-effi-
cient vehicles. Though vehicle registrationand title revenue is up, it hasn’t offset thedrop in fuel tax revenue, a problem giveninflationary construction cost increases. Snyder, who blames election-year politics
for the most recent legislative opposition tohis call for more tax revenue for roads, saidresidents pay hundreds of dollars annuallyon unnecessary vehicle repairs due to poorroads. Repairing deteriorating highwaysnow would help boost economic develop-ment and save taxpayers a much larger billdown the line, he said. Schauer said if he was governor, he could
strike a bipartisan deal, referring to his timein Lansing when then-Republican Gov. JohnEngler signed a 4-cent gas tax increase. Both Schauer and the incumbent, though,
know the major political obstacles to dedi-cating $1.2 to $2 billion more a year to roadsand bridges. Mesich said pothole-ridden streets are
damaging his vehicles. “We pay enough taxes. I’m not opposed
to paying taxes because nothing is free. Justbe fair,’’ he said.

Firm Seeks Skilled Employees in Ever Changing Job MarketBy Jeff WinkeSPECIAL TO CEG
“I wouldn’t wish any specific thing forany specific person — it’s none of my busi-ness. But the idea that a four-year degree isthe only path to worthwhile knowledge isinsane. It’s insane.”
— Mike Rowe, Host of “Dirty Jobs” andtrade careers activistThe need is there. Visit construction con-
tractors anywhere in North America and it’llbe mentioned: the pressing need for goodemployees. The best and brightest could do well in the
field. The opportunities are challenging. Theincome can be immense. And growth withinthe profession is clearly there for the moti-vated. Unfortunately, American youth are not
told about the various possibilities in theconstruction market — and in most cases areactively dissuaded from considering any-thing that has to do with construction. Theoutdated stereotypes held by parents andschool guidance counselorsprevail. For many students whoare exploring career options,construction is presented as theoption of last resort or even athreat. They may be presentedwith the image of a scrubbed-clean youth in business attireversus a dirty, sweaty workerdigging ditches and are told:“Study hard, get a universitydegree or you’ll end up swing-ing a pickaxe all day.”The young in America are
still fed the promise that a col-lege degree is the only path tohigher earnings and success.Reality is not so certain intoday’s post-Great-Recessionnew world. The average tuitiondebt load for the class of 2012was $29,400, according to areport from the Institute forCollege Access & Success’Project on Student Debt. At thesame time that personal debthas been going up, collegesacross the country have beenhiking tuition and fees.Meanwhile, families’ incomeshave been shrinking and stu-dent loan debt has risen at anaverage rate of six percent per year from2008 to 2012, the report found.Recent college grads are finding that their
college diplomas no longer function likemagic wands that can open doors of oppor-tunity. Instead, they are settling for lower-paying jobs outside their field, while carry-ing a tuition debt load that easily exceeds
their income. In today’s world, it’s best to benice to the waiter and coffee-shop baristasince they are likely to be recent collegegrads carrying enormous debts, and still liv-ing at home with their dreams on hold. The unfortunate reality is that the intelli-
gence, creative problem solving, communi-cation skills and appreciation for technology
attributes that employersallegedly seek in universitygraduates is exactly what con-struction companies want. The diversity of disciplines
and evolution of technology inthe construction fields do notin any way reflect the stereo-type of someone who is notsmart enough to do anythingbut work in construction. Theconstruction field includesthose who create 3D digitalmodels of a construction site,operators of technologicallyadvanced million-dollarmachines that use GPS controlto achieve graded surfaces thatare measured in millimetersand workers responsible foraccurately mapping theuneven features of a raw con-struction site using satellitenavigation systems, inertial
measurement and laser scanning. Today, the best and brightest are what are
needed in construction and contractors areseeking just that.Understanding the demand for qualified
workers in the construction fields, TopconPositioning Systems Inc., a developer andprovider of technologies and products for the
survey and construction markets, has devel-oped outreach and partnership programs tohelp schools and colleges attract more stu-dents and to equip them with the latest tech-nology so their students graduate with expe-rience using state-of-the-art products.The Topcon Educational Partnership
Program (EPP) is missioned with helpingeducational institutions by providing dis-counted Topcon products for instruction, aswell as learning tools to aid in educating thefuture generations of surveyors, engineers,precision agriculture and construction pro-fessionals.EPP partner schools and colleges are
offered:• Access to the EPP instructor portal on
Topcon TotalCare — an online training andcustomer support site• Hands-on instructor and classroom train-
ing provided by a Topcon product specialist• Special product discounts for education-
al institutions• Direct access to Topcon Technical
Support• Free access to otherwise paid online
training services• Educational rental program that bundles
both product and one-on-one training from aTopcon product specialist
The Topcon Technology Roadshow is currently on a 24-city tour ofNorth America, spanning a 23,000-mi. circuit. The intent is to bringproducts and training close to those who can benefit from it.
Students from various trade colleges and university-level techni-cal programs have been invited to participate in two-day visits atRoadshow locations.

Construction UnemploymentFalls to 7 Percent; Lowest in Yearsaren’t enough qualified workers available tofill them.”Construction employment totaled 6 mil-
lion in September, the highest total sinceMay 2009, with a 12-month gain of 230,000jobs or 3.9 percent, Sandherr noted.Residential building and specialty trade con-tractors added a combined 11,800 employ-ees since August and 129,400 (5.9 percent)over 12 months.Nonresidential building and specialty
trade contractors hired a net of 3,700 work-ers for the month and 100,300 (2.7 percent)since September 2013. However, heavy andcivil engineering contractors, which performthe majority of public-sector construction,increased their headcount by only 500 inSeptember and 29,000 (3.3 percent) over theyear amid tight government budget condi-tions.The number of workers who said they
looked for work in the past month and hadlast worked in construction fell to 604,000 inSeptember. The last time the number ofunemployed construction workers dropped
that low was August 2007, a time when theconstruction industry was struggling withwidespread construction worker shortagesthat prompted project delays and increasedcosts, Sandherr cautioned.Association officials said many firms cite
the lack of local, secondary-level vocationalprograms as one of the causes for the work-er shortages. As a result, association officialscontinued to urge federal, state and localofficials to enact the series of measures theassociation identified in its WorkforceDevelopment Plan that will make it easierfor school districts, local associations andprivate firms to establish career and technicaleducation and training programs.“Labor shortages happen when a growing
industry meets a stagnant pool of qualifiedworkers,” said Sandherr. “It is time to alignour education and training systems with cur-rent economic conditions so more youngpeople can benefit from the rebound in con-struction demand.”

Caterpillar Sponsors 2014High Horsepower SummitCaterpillar Inc. has sponsored the 2014
High Horsepower Summit (HHP), Oct. 6 to9 in New Orleans, La. The event is NorthAmerica’s leading conference on the use ofnatural gas to fuel high horsepower opera-tions. As an industry leader in the design andmanufacture of dual-fuel and natural gasengines, Caterpillar plans to highlight itscommitment to delivering the highest cus-tomer value for energy and power systemsoperations, as well as rail, marine and min-ing applications.“We’re proud of where our natural gas
heritage has brought us today and excited tolead the next wave of natural gas productsand services taking shape in the industry,”said Caterpillar Vice President with respon-sibility for the Large Power SystemsDivision Tana Utley, who presented thekeynote address at the Summit. “Cat natural gas products integrate the lat-
est innovative technology solutions with theperformance customers expect and deserve,and are bringing cost savings to our cus-tomers’ operations across the globe — fromour engines driving the world’s first naturalgas powered barge in Hamburg, to our gen-
erator sets operating in North America’slargest natural gas power plant in Kansas.”At the show, attendees saw examples of
how Caterpillar customers are using thecompany’s Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB)dual fuel solution in oil and gas, rail andmarine applications. Caterpillar product dis-plays included the 3512 DGB engine for oiland gas applications, the Electro-MotiveDiesel (EMD) 710 engine for locomotiveand marine applications, MaK dual-fuel,medium speed engines for marine applica-tion and gas powered electric power prod-ucts that feature the lowest owning and oper-ating costs in the industry. HHP attendeesalso heard about the company’s positiveresults with its products currently being test-ed in the field. EMD’s liquefied natural gaslocomotive test units have incurred morethan 5,000 test miles and achieved success-ful performance results while operating inNorth America this year.For more information visit www.caterpil-

AGC Presents Independence Excavating With Safety AwardFor a second time, Associated General
Contractors (AGC) awarded IndependenceExcavating its National AGC SafetyExcellence Award — First Place in theFederal and Heavy Division for 700,000 to 1million hours worked. IndependenceExcavating received this award based uponits exceptional safety performance, well-implemented safety program and an incidentrate at least 25 percent below that of its AGCmember peers.Independence Excavating’s Safety
Director Tom Steblinski cited the firm’s per-sonalized safety approach as the basis forthis award, as well as the absence ofreportable injuries on major projects includ-ing the Cleveland Convention Center demo-lition and site package and the Ford BrookPark engine plant demolition. “In my experience outside the firm,
[Independence Excavating’s] safety pro-gram is unlike most construction companieswhere safety personnel are office-based, pro-cessing workers’ compensation and paper-work. Our safety specialists and coordina-tors spend 80 percent of their time in thefield developing relationships with the guysdoing the work. We’re not the safety police,trying to catch them doing somethingwrong. We develop trusting relationships
with the workers and get their buy-in onsafety. Our safety personnel come from fieldpositions; we’ve been in their shoes. Theguys understand that we’re here to help themgo home safely to their families by abidingby safety regulations, all while helping themdo their jobs,” said Steblinski.The firm also finds its safety commitment
creates cost savings for its clients “Accidents — especially severe accidents
— will impact the day of the event and, tosome extent, the schedule going forward. Wemaintain utmost safety measures because weunderstand that accidents affect morale, thespeed of work, and our team’s comfort. Ourcommitment to safety and preventing
accidents delivers cost savings on each proj-ect,” said Steblinski.In fact, Independence Excavating remains
one of the few Ohio construction firms of itssize that is approved by the state of Ohio toself-insure workers’ compensation. The firmwas awarded self-insured status in 2005because of its strong financial standing andexcellent safety record. “We pass the cost savings gained from not
having to pay premiums on to our clients,giving them an even better price on eachjob.”With offices in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and
Chantilly, Va., Independence Excavating isan industry leader in challenging site devel-opment, heavy industrial applications, dem-olition, environmental solutions, concreteconstruction, aggregate crushing and one ofthe Midwest’s premier and diversified con-struction companies. Founded in 1956 bythe DiGeronimo family, IndependenceExcavating has earned a solid reputation forhonesty, integrity and outstanding perform-ance.For more information, visit

Indiana Department ofTransportation officials met with con-tractors, subcontractors, design engi-neers, utility company representativesand local government personnel atSeymour District offices Oct. 6 tolaunch the $16 million “diverging dia-mond” interchange project onInterstate 65 at C.R. 750North/Worthsville Road in JohnsonCounty.E & B Paving and Gradex are the
state’s prime contractors acting as ajoint venture to build this new-designinterchange to be located in PleasantTownship between C.R. 600N/TracyRoad and Greenwood’s East MainStreet. The contract calls for contrac-tors to have the interchange open totraffic by the end of next constructionseason. Earlier plans to construct the project
“under traffic” over a 2-year periodwere set aside in favor of an expeditedschedule. The city of Greenwood,Johnson County, Clark Pleasantschools and local emergency servicesagreed with INDOT officials that con-
venience to the motoring public wouldbe better served by detouring motoristsfrom Worthsville Road to the TracyRoad bridge at I-65 in order to cut theconstruction timeline in half.
Work Begins SoonPhase I realigns C.R. 200E/Graham
Road located on the west side of I-65.C.R. 200E’s intersection withWorthsville Road is to be movedapproximately 800 ft. (243 m) to thewest. INDOT’s contractor plans towork from south to north. Once relo-cated C.R. 200E reaches its junctionwith Worthsville Road, the road willclose for up to 10 days. This closureshould take place in mid-November.Phase II relocates C.R.
200E/Graham Road on the east side ofI-65 to approximately 800 ft. (243 m)north of its current position.INDOT anticipates demolition of
the existing Worthsville Road bridge atI-65 to occur during winter months —along with activities to begin buildingthe new 246-ft. (75 m) 2-span concretebeam structure over the interstate.
Initial bridge-building activitiesrequire significant excavation, gradingand dirt hauling at the construction site. Next spring, contractors and sub-
contractors will fully mobilized tocomplete the interchange and bridgereplacement project on or before thecontract’s intermediate completiondate of Nov. 20, 2015. At that time,motorists will experience a new, butproven, interchange design for betteraccess and improved safety — thefirst-of-its-kind to be built start-to-fin-ish in Indiana. This project responds to growing
safety and traffic congestion concerns.By adding I-65 access in JohnsonCounty, traffic should moderate at theMain Street and Whiteland Road inter-changes — and crash rates on I-65 andnearby access routes should decrease. For more information, visit

Nick Ivanoff, president and CEO of Ammann &Whitney, has been elected 2014-2015 chairman by themembers of the American Road & Transportation BuildersAssociation (ARTBA). The announcement came duringthe association’s annual national convention, held Sept. 7 to9 in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.Ivanoff’s career in the transportation design and con-
struction industry spans nearly 40 years. He drives strategyand development for the venerable New York City-basedengineering and architectural design firm, which hasdesigned some of the city’s most iconic superstructures.Ivanoff’s decade-long ARTBA volunteer leadership
positions include serving as senior vice chairman, first vicechairman, Northeastern Region vice chairman, two-termpresident of the International Affairs Advisory Councilchairman, Trans2020 Task Force co-chair, and two-termpresident of the Planning & Design (P&D) Division. Hisservice to ARTBA was recognized in 2005 with the “GuyKelcey Award,” which honors outstanding leadership to theP&D Division.During his acceptance speech, Ivanoff outlined several
key goals for the year ahead as chairman. First, ARTBA will continue driving the transportation
funding policy debate in the Nation’s Capitol to help ensurepost-election congressional action on a long-term and sus-tainable revenue stream for the Highway Trust Fund (HTF).Once an HTF solution is identified, the association willcontinue to lead the industry charge in advocating for a sig-
nificant boost in federal transportation investment as part ofthe reauthorization of MAP-21. “Grassroots mobilization is the key to legislative suc-
cess,” Ivanoff said. “Our members are going to have to getout there, attack Capitol Hill, and let their elected officialsknow that robust transportation investment is crucial tothe economic vitality of the country.” Ivanoff plans to leverage the 20th Anniversary of the
ARTBA Foundation’s Young Executive DevelopmentProgram to expand its leadership programs and outreach tothe next generation of industry leaders. Membership development also is key to the association’s
future growth, and Ivanoff, as a past president of theARTBA International Affairs Advisory Council, said hisfocus will be not just on companies at home, but also oninternational firms doing business in the United States.Finally, Ivanoff said ARTBA will be announcing new ini-
tiatives in the safety and risk management arenas in comingmonths. His portfolio of professional affiliations also includes
working closely with the Society of Military EngineersNYC Post, and serving as a long-standing member in sev-eral other industry organizations such as the Institute ofTransportation Engineers, American Society of CivilEngineers, and the Women’s Transportation Seminar.

The new arrange-ment will create opportunities for expanded distribution byconsolidating the Liebherr product lines (earthmoving andmaterial handling equipment) into a single channel. “Along with our internal reorganization and the widening
of our product portfolio, we have been optimizing our distri-bution network and developing new partnerships… We wantto create value for our dealers and customers and ensure thatthe best available channels are in place to efficiently moveour products and services and to properly compete in newmarkets,” Mayr said. The restructuring initiatives that Liebherr Construction
Equipment Co. began in early 2013 have been pursued andintensified in 2014. Liebherr has renewed long-term part-nerships and has now extended its geographical footprintbeyond its predominantly eastern U.S. territory. TheNewport News, Va., based company has signed four newdealer agreements recently and continues to evaluate newpartnerships; ones that align with Liebherr’s core values andmeet the company’s long-term goals.

Annual Meeting, Convention…
NAWIC Installs National President, Board MembersThe National Association of Women in
Construction (NAWIC) installed Sandy K.Field as its 60th national president duringNAWIC’s annual meeting and conventionin Indianapolis, Ind., on Sept. 5, 2014. Field,office/HR manager of Horizon GroupInternational, has been a member ofNAWIC’s Houston, Texas, chapter since2005.“I am looking forward to next year as
NAWIC navigates through some excitingchanges, one being the redistricting of ourregions,” said Field. “The redistrictingbrings with it unlimited possibilities forNAWIC and its members. However, as withany change, it must be properly managed toenjoy a smooth, productive and effectivetransition. As president, it will be myresponsibility to see that the transition is car-ried out smoothly and in a manner that ismost beneficial to the association as awhole.”Field plans to spend her year in office
working to increase the value of a NAWICmembership.
“It has been my mantra for the past fewyears that we need to get back to the basicsof why NAWIC was founded. To ‘enhancethe success of women in the constructionindustry’ we must offer value to member-ship with programs that are relevant to theindustry and provide opportunities for pro-fessional development. One of my prioritieswill be to work with the chapters to evaluatehow we can increase the value of member-ship on the chapter level to not only bring innew members, but also retain our existingmembers.”Also during her tenure, Field plans to pro-
mote NAWIC’s mentoring programs. “Another priority of mine is mentoring
future leaders for the association. Our mem-bership is made up of very dynamic womenand we need to make sure we are buildingfuture leaders on all levels.”NAWIC also installed officers President-

Liebherr’s Newly Designed Generation6 Offers Reduced Fuel Consumption
Liebherr’s Generation 6 PR 736dozer has an operating weight between44,000 and 55,000 lb. (20,000 and25,000 kg) and has been newlydesigned for increased efficiency andfor reduced fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
This model features an electronical-ly-regulated travel drive with an inte-gral eco-function. When the operatorchooses between high-performancepotential and maximum economy, thesystem automatically selects the opti-mal setting for economical operation ofall travel-drive components.
Proactive power control is anotherGeneration 6 innovation. Travel drivesettings adjust automatically when theoperator selects a different level ofspeed by the joystick, which preparesthe power train for higher performancedemands. In addition to fast response,this new dozer offers increased per-formance potential.
To simplify the use of automaticmachine control systems, Liebherr sup-plies pre-installation kits for leadingmanufacturers’ systems. The automaticmachine control system provides theoperator with accurate guidance inorder to maintain consistent gradingquality.
Like all Liebherr dozers and loaders,the PR 736 features a hydrostatic trans-mission. This efficient driveline keepsthe engine speed at a constant level ofperformance. Power train componentsand Liebherr’s intuitive engine man-agement system match perfectly inorder to achieve high efficiency andlower fuel consumption, according tothe manufacturer.
The new PR 736 is equipped withseveral features that expedite and sim-plify service procedures. These includecentrally located maintenance points,access flaps and engine compartmentdoors that open to a wide angle. Themachine’s tilting cab is standard, andan optional radiator that can be swungout for cleaning is available.
The new PR 736 has long mainte-nance intervals for operating fluids.Depending on the nature of the work,and provided that regular qualitychecks are being performed, thehydraulic fluid interval can be as longas 8,000 hours of operation.
The standard Liebherr fleet manage-ment system LiDAT provides an accu-rate, efficient overview of essentialservicing work, warning messages, the
machine’s position and actual con-sumption data and filling levels.Depending on the customer needs, thedata is updated several times a day andcan be retrieved when needed bymeans of a web browser. An automaticalarm function also can be selected inthe event of a machine leaving its pre-determined zone or if a critical operat-ing situation arises.
Extended Track Life, HighComfort in Operation
The track assemblies for Generation6 dozers also have been redesigned. Inorder to extend the operating life of thetrack and the sprocket, the drivesprockets are now of larger diameterwith more teeth in mesh. When operat-ing in abrasive surfaces, optional trackassemblies with rotary bushings areavailable. In addition to being 100 per-cent exchangeable, they prolong thereplacement intervals for this specifictype of work.
With its downward-angled bodypanel edges and panoramic windowsthat include the door area, the PR 736provides the operator with a completeview of the machine’s working attach-ments and the surrounding terrain. Theexhaust system is entirely concealed bythe A-post so that the operator’s view isunobstructed. Increased visibilityallows for more efficient machine oper-ation and promotes safety.
The PR 736’s operator cab has been
newly designed. The operator canmove the ergonomically-shaped travelcontrols to the most convenient posi-tion. An integral contact switch in thecomfortable seat identifies the opera-tor’s presence automatically withoutthe need for a safety lever to beengaged. The desired travel speed canbe preselected with without shiftinggears. The speed can be saved in thememory when direct selection is need-ed.
The PR 736 is equipped standardwith a touch-controlled display. Thetouch screen is the interface for the newcontrol structure for modular construc-tion. Additional options such as revers-ing cameras can be incorporated on thisscreen, as well as functions designedfor further comfort such as air condi-tioning control. The PR 736 can beequipped with alternative operatorinterfaces, with an inching brake pedalor different control levers.
High-performance LEDs illuminatethe work area effectively, even in unfa-vorable conditions. The modular light-ing concept is integrated into the PR736’s redesigned bodywork and can bechosen specifically to suit the applica-tions that the machine will perform.

To provide ongoing support for its familyof intelligent Machine Control (iMC) doz-ers, Komatsu America distributors have spe-cially-trained technology solutions experts(TSE) on staff. Every customer who pur-chases a Komatsu iMC dozer has the supportof a TSE, based at the distributor. The TSEsare supported by the dedicated intelligentMachine Control team at Komatsu AmericaCorp.
“Introducing and providing a dedicatedsupport position for our iMC machinesexemplifies the kind of service that our cus-tomers have come to expect from Komatsu,”said Jason Anetsberger, iMC product man-ager, Komatsu America Corp. Each technol-ogy solutions expert must undergo an exten-sive training program and is directly certifiedby Komatsu America before working as theTSE for a Komatsu distributor. The primaryrole of the TSE is intelligent MachineControl product training and support.
Bill Hankins, a TSE of The LyleMachinery Company in Columbus, Miss.,said, “As the TSE for my company, I’m the
one contact for our iMC customers. I’vereceived extensive training from theKomatsu factory, and I’m the expert whogoes out in the field to work with customers.I also serve as the primary contact for anyquestions our iMC customers might have.
“When you purchase this machine fromKomatsu and your local dealer, you’re notjust buying a machine. You’re buying a sup-port package that has very well-trained peo-ple lined up from coast-to-coast and border-to-border who are there whenever our cus-tomers need us.”
In the past — without integrated iMCtechnology — if a customer encountered aproblem or issue related to the machine or itsgrading performance, they had multiple con-tacts for support and input. Customers whopurchase a Komatsu machine with intelli-gent Machine Control technology now havethe ease of a single primary contact (theirTSE) for any questions and support.
With fully automatic blade control,Komatsu iMC dozers perform rough dozingas well as finish grading in automatic mode.When rough dozing, the automatic blade
control monitors blade load and adjustsblade elevation to minimize track slip andperform high-efficiency dozing. As workprogresses to the target finish grade, theautomatic blade control adjusts accordinglyto provide finish grade performance.
Following its successful launch of theD61i-23 in 2013, Komatsu recently intro-duced three additional iMC dozers into theNorth American market including the D51i-22, D39i-23 and D37i-23. The companynow offers four different size iMC dozers.
Jason Anetsberger of Komatsu Americasaid, “The included value of a technologysolutions expert, in addition to the addedintelligence, innovation and integrationavailable in these dozers significantlyincreases the value proposition, for bothexisting machine control users and newmachine control users.”

Critical Decisions Make All the Difference in Dozer LifespansBy Giles LambertsonCEG CORRESPONDENT
Bulldozers are tough machines, and own-ers and operators can extend their machines’working lives by making critical decisionsabout their undercarriage. The decisionsbegin before a new machine is ordered fromthe dealership.“One type of undercarriage does not fit all
applications,” warned Tim Nenne, aCaterpillar undercarriage market profession-al. Nenne began working with drivetrain andundercarriage issues at the Caterpillar TechCenter almost 25 years ago. “Now, we’reoffering more undercarriage than everbefore.”
Same, But DifferentWhy offer undercarriage variations? It’s
true that in the rumbling world of trackedequipment, the machines have some thingsin common. The continuous steel or rubbertracks that move dozers, excavators, mobilecranes, track loaders of all sizes, and othermachinery all have sprockets that drivelinked plates with raised grousers for trac-tion. The chained shoes cycle across idlersand rollers and under road wheels … aroundand around and around. But there are differences in the machines,
too. How a piece of equipment is used varieswidely and undercarriage reflects that.Consider dozers and excavators, two of themainstay pieces of equipment in any earth-moving contractor’s yard: They have greatlydifferent undercarriage requirements. Adozer and excavator can be operated side byside in a pit or a site preparation project andtheir undercarriage experiences much differ-ent stresses.Dozers have to be moving across a job
site to be productive. Sitting still, a dozer isjust a lump of iron. Until its blade startspushing or its ripper ripping, it might as wellbe a big boulder. However, an excavator canrumble up to a dig site, the tracks on themachine stop moving and subsequently notexperience a full revolution for an extendedtime. Yet while the tracks are mostly still, themachine is busy digging a hole with itsscoop, or swinging over and dropping a con-crete box into a hole using its boom, or load-ing trucks from a replenishing pile of mate-rial.“An excavator undercarriage is mostly
just a platform,” Nenne explained, so the liferollers and link assemblies on excavators candiffer greatly from those on dozers. On theother hand, undercarriage on track loadersmore or less replicates the technology on,say, a D6, because the two machines’ func-tion is more-or-less the same.
How Is It Used?So the first critical undercarriage decision
for a contractor buying a piece of trackedequipment is to know how it will be used. “The big thing is this: Choose the under-
carriage that best meets all of your needs,”Nenne said. “Consider the machine type, themachine’s application, the material it will beworking in, even your financial situation.Choose the undercarriage that will providethe best performance. “It always comes back to choosing the
right undercarriage,” he said. “You savemajor dollars in the end if you choose cor-rectly. It eventually will come back and costyou more if you don’t.” Nenne added that the most common error
a contractor makes is not fully specifying theweight of the machine to be carried on anundercarriage. It might be a 25-ton dozer asa base model, but one blade or another canalter the weight, as can the addition of a rip-per or a winch. The total machine weight isthe operative number in choosing the rightundercarriage set-up.The next most important consideration for
selecting an undercarriage is the conditionsin which it will be operated. “It is so important to understand the appli-
cation of a machine,” Nenne said. “Whattype of material will it be running in? Whatlevel of abrasion will there be? What areyour hours of use for the machine? Howlong do you plan to keep it? All of that deter-mines which undercarriage to choose.”That’s why Caterpillar developed a new
General Duty line of undercarriage, which
Nenne described as the “Volkswagen” line,an allusion to the economical but well-engi-neered VW “Bug” the German manufactur-er introduced to the United States in the1960s. General Duty is the lowest-costundercarriage option and will meet the needsof contractors in general purpose, moderate-use dozer situations.Cat Heavy Duty Undercarriage targets
most Cat customers and is for machines thatare operated many hours a day, every day —the high-production machines found onmany work sites. Cat SystemOneUndercarriage is the third option and also isaimed at high-use machines. However,SystemOne incorporates rotating bushingsand extended-life sprockets, idlers and
rollers. The system reduces maintenancecosts and lengthens the operating life of var-ious components.So from day one a buyer makes numerous
set-up decisions that will affect the bottomline. Example: A dozer to be operated inforestry work, crawling over stumps andsuch, needs a heftier undercarriage than oneloading some gravel now and then in anequipment yard. Another example: The typeof soil underneath the operating machineand the degree of slope at a work site candetermine whether to use standard track,wide track, or low ground compaction shoes.And so on.In the end, there are consequences from
having the wrong undercarriage on amachine. Nenne said the consequences canbecome evident in pretty short order. “If it’s a matter of a shoe width error, you
might notice that in the first hour whenthere’s a buildup of packed material in theundercarriage.” Other misjudgments may not show up for
a month or more as parts begin to break orbecome dysfunctional under stress.
Operator, Maintenance ErrorsYet even when a tracked machine has an
appropriate undercarriage, problems still candevelop if an operator fails to follow best-practices in the driver’s seat. Nenne said themost frequent failing of this type is habitualuse of a big tracked machine for nonessentialtravel.“Don’t use a tractor as a pickup truck,” he
said. “They are very expensive to move. Forexample, don’t drive the machine across ajob site to get it fueled. Drive the fuel truckto it. It is not the number of hours that wearsout an undercarriage, it is the number ofmiles or kilometers. Limit the miles, limitthe amount of movement.”The kind of movement also can exact a
toll on an undercarriage. Nenne recommend-ed that operators limit high-speed reversemovement, or limit traveling in reverse ingeneral. While SystemOne handles high-speed reverse better than other systems,additional bushing wear always occurs whena machine is traveling backward on itstracks. Another tip: Turning a dozer in thesame direction all the time causes unevenwear on undercarriage components, so oper-ators should try to alternate their turns.“An operator has the ability to make or
break an undercarriage,” Nenne said. Hesaid most operator abuse or misuse of atracked machine occurs on rubber-trackedmini-loaders, which are apt to be run by less-trained operators. But owners of huge dozers

Simply Cleaning Debris From Undercarriage Lowers Costsalso can incur extra operation and mainte-nance costs when jockeys operate themachines inefficiently.Field service personnel or shop mechan-
ics have a checklist of inspections for anundercarriage, and Nenne believes track ten-sion is checkpoint number one. If the linksare too tight, the system wears more quicklyand more fuel is expended. Proper tensiondepends on the application and working con-ditions.“Checking the track tension is the single
biggest thing you can do,” Nenne said. “Youcan’t control an application of a machine oroperating conditions, but you can controltrack tension.”He said operators have the first responsi-
bility to keep the track properly tensed. Ifworking in dust in the morning turns toworking in sticky conditions after a rainshower, an adjustment in the tension may berequired to optimize performance. “When conditions change, you have to
think about doing an adjustment. It’s proba-bly a half-hour job, but the cost of not doingit over the period of operation can be quitehigh.”
Components of the undercarriage weardifferently under different conditions. In ahigh-impact environment of hard rock,grousers will wear out quicker. If lots of sand— particularly wet sand — is runningthrough the undercarriage, bushing wear isaccelerated. In working in especially pack-able soils or refuse, material can get wedgedinto undercarriage areas and cause compo-nents to engage improperly and increasewear.Nenne said the simple act of cleaning out
debris from the undercarriage at the end of awork day will help keep down operatingcosts. He adds that engineering attempts toseal off critical undercarriage componentsfrom such debris haven’t worked. “A lot ofpeople have tried to keep material awayfrom parts, but if you do too much of that, itkeeps debris in instead of keeping it out. Youcan overprotect.”
Bottom LineThe rule of thumb is that an undercarriage
will absorb half of the cost of operating atracked machine. Nenne was asked if per-haps that ratio of expense didn’t shift some-what after the Tier IV regime increased thecost of engines and emission controls.
“I would say that it hasn’t changed,” hesaid. “Tier IV is an upfront cost for a buyer,but when you look at operating costs, theundercarriage is still going to come in at 50percent.”When a contractor opts to purchase a used
dozer or other tracked machine, the condi-tion of its undercarriage becomes a criticalissue. Nenne said it is possible to correctly
determine the working condition of anundercarriage by inspecting for dry jointsand other indicators of wearing and aging.Knowing the conditions in which themachine operated — sand or rock versusloamy soil — also can signal how much lifethe undercarriage still has in it.Nenne has no predictions about a future
mechanical system that will replace the tracksystem, which dates back more than a centu-ry in its modern form. But the Cat undercar-riage specialist said the manufacturer is pro-ducing undercarriages for some foreign mar-kets that have rubber-coated and sound-deadening components, which suggests thefamiliar clanking of a passing dozer mightbecome a thing of the past. “That undercarriage is more expensive
and harder to produce, but sound reductionin some parts of the world is important tocustomers so it has become a big part of ourthinking at this time.”For contractors focused on keeping down
costs, holding down noise might be a lesserconcern.

Work on Eastbound George V. Voinovich Bridge Beginsengineer. “The joint-venture team tookadvantage of this opportunity to propose adesign that simplifies fabrication and erec-tion. Rather than providing an integrateddelta girder shape, the TGR design separatesthe delta girder from the plate girder portionof the superstructure, and places bearingsbetween these two elements.“This results in an independent delta gird-
er that is post-tensioned to the pier, and has aseparate tension tie across the top,” headded. “Bearings are placed atop this deltagirder to support a ‘conventional’ plate gird-er superstructure.”Nick Graczyk, project engineer of
Trumbull Corp., said that the new designeliminates the need for complex temporaryworks to support and position the legs of thedelta frame during steel erection.“This will prove to be a more economical
design with cost savings from the design,fabrication and erection of the temporaryworks, as well as expediting the structuralsteel erection schedule,” he said. “The newdesign also simplifies the interface betweenthe delta leg and the plate girder superstruc-ture. It eliminates the complex fixed connec-tion of the westbound bridge which will sim-plify steel erection and fabrication.“It will also eliminate the ‘oversized’ field
sections that were required for the west-bound bridge,” he added. “Each section ofthe eastbound bridge will be able to be trans-
ported in an upright position, which is amore ‘conventional’ delivery method. Thiswill simplify the handling of the sections inthe shop and on site, as well as save in deliv-ery cost.”Asked about the challenges that are antic-
ipated, Stroh points out that the viaduct ofthe GVV Bridge is a continuous superstruc-ture over its nearly 3,000 ft. (914 m) length,with no intermediate expansion joints. “Its superstructure is comprised of a gird-
er and sub stringer floor system, and thedelta girder supporting elements,” he said.“The analysis must be a fully integrated 3Dmodel that accommodates the entire 3,000foot bridge length. This places special chal-lenges on the computer modeling and analy-sis of the structure. URS is utilizing LARSAsoftware for this analysis and has developeda detailed computer model that accounts forthe complex bridge geometry and integratesloading, and design/code checking capabili-ties into a single model.”The crews from the joint-venture also
have determined some of the challenges theywill have to overcome, including the soil sta-
bility of the west slope during demolition ofthe existing bridge and construction of thenew bridge.“Detailed analyses and monitoring will be
performed to check each of the loading con-ditions (earth and equipment loads) that theslope will encounter during demolition andconstruction,” said Graczyk. “The pile driv-ing operation for the new foundations of thebridge piers also will present challenges dur-ing construction. The design specifies thelargest H-pile section rolled in the industry[HP18x204] at a total length of 180 feet.TGR will use a 300T crawler crane[Manitowoc 2250 Series III] to suspend theleads and hydraulic hammer for the initial
The new bridge will require a vast amount of mate-rial, including: 11 million lbs. (5 million kg) of Hpile, 37 million lbs. (16.8 million kg) of structuralsteel, 11 million lbs. of rebar and 7,400 trucks fullof concrete.

In addition to the span being impacted by the geographic constraints of the Cuyahoga Riverand west slope, the project will have to deal with issues posed by the operations of the CSXrailroad, Norfolk Southern elevated train trestle, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authorityrail and others which present significant challenges for steel erection.

equipment owner received the surprise of hislife by being honored with a special editionone-millionth Bobcat T650 compact trackloader during Bobcat Company’s“Unstoppable” campaign and MillionLoaders Celebration contest. Steven Klumker, of Mancos, Colo., visit-
ed the Bobcat of Durango equipment dealer-ship thinking he was being interviewed as afinalist for the contest. Instead, he was hand-ed over the grand prize with his family onhand to celebrate with him. “This is a dream come true for me —
Bobcat machines have been our family’slivelihood and our lifestyle my entire life,”Klumker said after the “reveal.” “And I can-not wait to show this loader off.”Klumker’s entry was selected from more
than 12,000 that came in over six months,based on his answer to the question, “Howdoes Bobcat make you unstoppable?”“Steve’s was exactly the type of entry we
were looking for,” said Gary Hornbacher,Bobcat Company vice president of sales andmarketing. “He described how Bobcatequipment has helped his entire family —first- and second-generation Bobcat equip-ment owners — build a successful businessthat spans more than 40 years and has cov-ered six states. He and his family were earlybelievers in Bobcat machines, and Steve is agreat example of how a customer can beunstoppable with the right equipment and asolid relationship with his local dealer.”Klumker has used a variety of Bobcat skid
steer loaders, compact track loaders, com-pact excavators and attachments in countlessapplications, from a $300 million desertresort and golf club to a 36-year-long, five-phase housing development project. Hiswork has included building lagoons andswimming pools, backfilling utility trenchesand landscaping and tree planting acrossCalifornia, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utahand New Mexico. For more than 40 years,the Klumkers have been customers ofBobcat of Durango, in Durango, Colo., andBingham Equipment in Arizona.

Meyer Products’ ground tracking tech-nology (GTT) allows the plow to pivotup to 12 degrees in either direction toautomatically follow the contour of theroad. Ground tracking technology clearssurfaces faster and better than plows thatdon’t adjust to a surface’s contours,according to Meyer. Available as an option on Meyer Lot
Pro, Road Pro and Diamond Edge plows,GTT is possible because the moldboardand black iron move around a centerpivot point.In addition, GTT levels the moldboard
automatically when it’s raised and movedright or left, so the plow remains level
during transport. It also allows the plowto mount more easily on uneven surfacesbecause the mount stays level even if themoldboard is not.For more information, visit www.mey-

A high school student from Pennsylvania and an under-graduate student from Florida Polytechnic Institute werenamed winners of the American Road & TransportationBuilders Association’s (ARTBA) 4th annual “StudentTransportation Video Contest.” They will each receive a$500 cash prize. The association received more than 30 entries this year in
two categories. Sponsored by ARTBA’s Research andEducation Division (RED), the contest aims to raise aware-ness about infrastructure issues by challenging students todevelop a brief video exploring various topics relating toAmerica’s transportation network. Students were able tochoose their own subject matter, with most focusing on howtransportation infrastructure is built and paid for, the impactsof traffic congestion, transportation and urban developmentplans, and the public’s perception of transportation develop-ment. �Submissions were reviewed by a panel of ARTBA mem-
bers and the winning entries were screened during the asso-ciation’s 2014 National Convention, held Sept. 7 to 9 inCalifornia.
Category One — Elementary, Middle or High School Students: “Infrastructure:
the Unsung Hero” Ty Miller, Boyertown Area Senior High School
Miller, a 12th grade student at Boyertown Area SeniorHigh School in central Pennsylvania, created a thoughtfulvideo to underscore that transportation infrastructure is the
catalyst of American civilization. It discusses how the con-struction of bridges, canals, waterways, railways, airportsand roads are the “unsung heroes” of our society, spurringeconomic development, providing freedom of mobility anduniting the country. Second Place was awarded to: “The Million Mile
Problem” by Hill Chang of High Technology High School inLincroft, N.J.
Category Two — Post-Secondary, College orGraduate Students: “Our Deficient
Transportation Infrastructure” AuburyErickson, Florida Polytechnic University
Erickson, a freshman studying mechanical and industrialengineering in Lakeland, Fla., created an informative, four-minute animation outlining the importance the U.S. trans-portation system to the U.S. economy. As narrator, sheexplains how America’s transportation infrastructure hasbeen given a “D” rating by the American Society for CivilEngineers. She highlights the nation’s transportation fund-ing challenges, lack of investment and the importance ofmaintaining a well-developed and sufficient transportationnetwork.Second Place was awarded to: “The Cars of the Future-
Engineering” by David Baril, an animation major at theSouthwest University of Visual Arts in Glendale, Ariz.

RESPECTFULLY DISREGARDS CONVENTIONAL EXCAVATOR WISDOM.Plenty of people make compact excavators. But none can say they engineered the first mini-excavator, zero tail swing excavator, swing-boom excavator and rubber-tracked excavator. At Yanmar, we simply can’t stop innovating. That’s why our nine excavators – seven with true zero tail swing – are each purpose-built to overcome the most challenging conditions, work with unparalleled power and conserve fuel. So, if you just want to play around on your jobsite, go get any old excavator. BUT IF YOU’D RATHER RULE YOUR JOBSITE, GET A YANMAR.

XHP multi-terrain loadersfeature a dual suspensionundercarriage, completelynew modular cab,redesigned vertical liftloader linkage with Cat intel-ligent leveling, largerengines and enhanced per-formance compared with CSeries models. New elec-tronic controls and the newadvanced display enhanceoperator efficiency and anavailable industry-exclusiverearview camera enhancesoperator awareness. The newmachines excel in applica-tions where high power, high traction and limited ground dis-turbance are needed, such as residential construction, land-scaping operations and snow removal work, according to themanufacturer.Rated operating capacities (50 percent of tipping load) are
4,550 and 5,000 lbs. (2,063 and 2 268 kg), respectively. Thenew Cat C3.8 DIT engine develops respective net ratings of95 and 106 hp (71 and 79 kW) and meets US EPA Tier IVInterim and EU Stage IIIB emission standards. The D Seriesmodels accommodate required emissions controls with nocompromise in serviceability and with no interruption ofwork cycles.Compared with the C Series models, the 297D has
increases in horsepower of 4 percent, torque rise of 13 per-cent, and lift force of 19 percent. The 297D XHP featuresincreases in horsepower of 17 percent, peak torque of 27 per-cent; lift force of 19 percent; and rated operating capacity of10 percent. In addition, the 297D XHP incorporates an aux-iliary hydraulic system featuring a relief pressure of 4,061 psi(28,000 kPa) and outputs to 40 gpm (150 Lpm), resulting in95 hydraulic hp (71 kW) — 22 percent more than the 297C— for powering the most demanding work tools.The one-piece D Series cab is completely new — sealed,
pressurized and independent of the chassis. The new cab isspacious, quiet and available with a high back, heated, airride seat with seat-mounted adjustable joystick controls.Heating and cooling rates are increased 50 percent, alongwith 20 percent more airflow and a 50 percent boost in pres-surization. The advanced display (available for the 297D, standard
for the 297D XHP) integrates a security system that canaccommodate up to 50 operators and uses a full color, 5-inchLCD that enables on-screen adjustment of implementresponse, hydrostatic drive response and creep control speed.The system also expands diagnostic capability and allowsmaster code holders to review operator specific machine per-formance. An available rearview camera system uses thescreen to display high resolution images to increase the oper-ator’s job site awareness.For optimum machine control, the Cat intelligent leveling
(ILEV) system enables three production enhancing features:electronic dual self-leveling (automatically levels the loadboth raising and lowering); return-to-dig (automatically low-ers lift arms and returns work tools to a preset angle); and
work-tool-positioning (auto-matically returns attach-ments — cold planer ortrencher, for example — to apreset angle after reposition-ing the machine). When the new dial-type
throttle in the D Series cab ispaired with a foot throttle,the pedal functions as adecelerator (when the dial inthe high idle position), pro-viding an added degree ofcontrol and safety byenabling operators to quick-ly reduce engine/travelspeed. A new throttlesmoothing feature electroni-
cally “clips” the extremes of throttle pedal movement inrough terrain to yield steady, even travel speeds for operatorcomfort and material retention.
Design FeaturesThe undercarriage for the 297D and 297D XHP uses a
durable rubber track, which is lightweight, pliable and rein-forced with high tensile strength cords. The machines exertminimal ground pressure for superior operation in softunderfoot conditions. Multiple wheels distribute the machineweight over the track, and an elevated roller sprocket ensurespositive track drive. The multi-terrain loader dual-level suspension system
uses heavy duty torsion axles to attach the undercarriage tothe tractor and to attach the oscillating bogie wheel frames.The shock-absorbing capability of the torsion axles and theoscillating bogie wheels, which allow the track to conform tothe terrain, ensure a comfortable ride for the operator, opti-mum retention of bucket loads, steady traction and loweroperating costs, resulting from more effectively isolating thetractor from shock loads.A new cooling system design uses a hydraulically driven,
on-demand fan to draw air from the rear of the machine andthrough the side-by-side radiator and hydraulic oil cooler atthe top of the engine compartment. In addition, the systemdraws cool air from the engine compartment and mixes itwith the exhaust stream to reduce temperatures at the stackoutlet, and the stack is positioned to direct exiting exhaustinto the fan blast to quickly dissipate heat.Lift arms for D Series machines have been redesigned and
now use one-piece tubular design that adds strength to theloader linkage and retains excellent lift characteristics whileresulting in a narrower profile that improves visibility to thesides of the machine, to the work tool, and to the worktool/coupler interface. The overall advantage is increasedsafety, according to the manufacturer.The available automatic work tool coupler is now electri-
cally actuated, replacing the previous hydraulically actuatedcoupler. The new coupler is simpler in design, eliminatinghoses and connectors, and easier to install as an accessory inthe field.For more information, visit www.cat.com.(This story also can be found on Construction Equipment

pile drive. A second 300T crawlercrane [also a Manitowoc] will beused to suspend the leads anddiesel hammer [D160-42] for thefinal drive.”In addition to the span being
impacted by the geographic con-straints of the Cuyahoga River andwest slope, the project will have todeal with issues posed by the oper-ations of the CSX railroad, NorfolkSouthern elevated train trestle,Greater Cleveland RegionalTransit Authority rail, and otherswhich present significant chal-lenges for steel erection. TGR willuse two 300T crawler cranes (alsoManitowoc 2250 Series III) toerect the structural steel.“Another significant challenge
will be the erection of the delta‘knuckle,’” said Graczyk, “whichwill be grouted and post tensionedto the pier caps.”The river poses its own unique
challenges, but TGR, via seriouspre-planning, will mount a 300Tcrawler crane (Manitowoc 2250Series III) on a barge to erect thestructural steel spanning the river.“In an effort to offset the
reduced lift capacity of the craneon the barge, additional fieldsplices were added to the super-structure plate girders to reduce theweight of the lifts from the water,”said Graczyk. “The delta legs ofthe piers adjacent to the river, thatcantilever over the river, will beerected with the crane mounted onthe barge while a second 300Tcrawler on land will erect theopposite delta leg, as well as thepermanent tension tie.“Once the deltas are constructed
atop the piers,” he added, “shorterplate girder sections will be can-tilevered out into the river to adjustthe geometry of the structure andto provide a more feasible gap toerect the closure sections. Thecrane mounted on the barge willcomplete the span over the river by
erecting the ‘drop-in’ sections.”The construction schedule was
developed at an early stage duringthe estimate based on past experi-ence of bridge projects. “Construction of the pier foun-
dations [i.e. pile driving] begin inmid-July, with substantial comple-tion of the bridge scheduled for thefall of 2016,” said Graczyk.Primavera P6 scheduling softwareis being utilized by TGR to moni-tor the progress of the work.”The project will require a fair
amount of cranes to construct thebridge piers and deck — crawlercranes ranging from 150 to 275tons (136 to 249 t). Equipment onthe job will include Manitowoc2250 and Manitowoc 888 cranes, aTerex RT 780 crane, a KomatsuP220 tracked excavator, Caterpillartracked excavators — 330, 336and 360s, and John Deere dozers— 650 and 850s. The equipment iscoming from all three of the jointventure companies. As well, anAPE D160 hammer was pur-chased specifically for use in thisproject. When construction peaks, there
will be 150 to 200 workers on site.This number does not include thenecessary support staff, qualityassurance, designers and othersworking on the project, which iftotaled, would bring the number
closer to 500. All three companieswhich make up Trumbull-GreatLakes-Ruhlin have contributedcrews to the project.Major subcontractors to be
brought in for the project include:The Joseph B. Fay Company fordemolition, Controlled DemolitionInc. for the explosive demolitionportion, Amelie Construction &Supply to finish and install steel invarious sections of the structure,Foundation Steel to furnish andinstall rebar, The Shelly Companyfor asphalt paving and MillerCable for electrical work includingthe aesthetic lighting.Scheduling for the project is in
the final stages.“Prior to the start of any new
activity on the job a pre-activitymeeting is held which gathers allinvolved to discuss that particularaspect of the project,” said KarenLenehan, public information con-sultant to TGR. “Weekly meetingsare held to keep schedules co-ordi-nated. The schedule has beendeveloped so it is sequenced foryear-round work. Weather sensi-tive activities like pouring decksand painting is scheduled forwarmer months and structural steelerection and pile driving can bedone through the winter months.”Temporary offices have been set
up close to the job site which house
both TGR and ODOT officials.“It is a set up that allows easy
and constant communicationbetween TGR, URS, ParsonsBrinkerhoff, the quality assurancepartner on the job, and ODOT,”said Lenehan.The new bridge will require a
vast amount of material, including:11 million lbs. (5 million kg) of Hpile, 37 million lbs. (16.8 millionkg) of structural steel, 11 millionlbs. of rebar, and 7,400 trucks fullof concrete.“Timely, staged deliveries are
scheduled, so as materials aretrucked in they can be used direct-ly from the truck,” said Lenehan.“Some of the specialty items, suchas ornamental railings, will bestored at a location just off the jobsite. This site houses field trailersand offers space for equipment
storage as well. Piling was orderedin March of 2014 and structuralsteel has a lead time of 10 to 12months, so it will be ordered anddelivered over a course of ninemonths, with delivery to begin in2015.”Many barges will be employed
on the project and a crane will beused to load them. No temporaryroad will be required to support theconstruction.The joint-venture will have one
master mechanic on site, and spacehas been set aside for repair facili-ties, storage sheds for spare parts,temporary offices, fueling stationsand depots for oils.

[3,991 kg]) and HD 14VO (9,500 lbs. [4,309 kg]). All ofthem are equipped with one oscil-latory and one vibratory drum.
The advantage of oscillation is itachieves a rapid increase in com-paction because the oscillationdrum directs tangential thrustingforces into the material to be com-pacted while remaining constantlyin contact with the ground. Thecombination of continuously act-ing static load and changingdynamic shear forces in the materi-al brings about a faster, better andmore gentle compaction.Moreover the amplitude and inturn the compaction power adaptautomatically to the stiffness pres-ent. Hamm achieves this effectwithout electronics, but throughintelligent application of the lawsof physics.
Wide ApplicationSpectrum for Oscillatory
RollersThe new Hamm rollers with one
oscillatory and one vibratory drumincrease compaction speed andquality, according to the manufac-turer. Applications can be found inurban centers for example. Thereason: oscillation drums can com-pact dynamically even on narrowconstruction sites, because thiscompaction technology does notdisturb buildings or pipeworkbelow the road surface throughvibration.
Oscillation also optimizes com-paction at joints to existing roadsurfaces, because it does not dam-age the cold asphalt. So the com-paction on small job sites will bemore effective than before whenusing oscillatory rollers.
During the compaction of thinlayers on tack coat or spray seal,the high compaction speed makesa noticeable improvement. A fur-ther plus point in favour of oscilla-tory rollers is that they also workvery efficiently on cooled asphalt.
Last but not least, oscillatorycompaction also optimizes manylandscaping applications. Water-
bound path surfaces or asphaltcycle paths can be compacted sig-nificantly more efficiently with thenew rollers than heretofore.
HD 10C VT Combi RollerThe HD 10C VT is the smallest
combi roller in the CompactLinewith a working width of 3.5 ft.(1.06 m) and operating weight of3,500 lbs. (1,587 kg). It comeswith permanent all-wheel drive asstandard. This distinguishes itfrom all other compact rollers inthis size and gives it outstandinggradeability in all situations,according to the manufacturer.
New Options: Drivers’Cab and Chip SpreaderHamm has developed a fully-
enclosed driver’s cab for thelargest models in the compactclass, the HD 13 and HD 14. Thepanoramic cabin features full
height glazing and provides anoverview of the construction site.Hamm also has thought aboutmany other niceties and safety fea-tures: heating, radio, screenwipers, four halogen front head-lights (H9) and two rear spotlightsare some of the cab options.
With its own chip spreaders forthe CompactLine, Hamm offers acomplement to the rollers forrepair work on motorways or otherheavily used roads. The linearspreader has stepless adjustmentand is operated from the driver’sseat. Its diffusion grill produces aremarkably even distribution pat-tern. The chip spreader is availablein two spreading widths: 3.28 ft. (1m)/53 gal. (200 L) or 3.95 ft. (1.20m)/63 gal. (240 L). Mounting iseasy with a forklift truck and themounting point close to themachine frame ensures a favorableweight distribution.
Drum Lighting and HingedScraper for More Quality
and SafetyHamm has included an extreme-
ly bright drum lighting in its pro-gram for the entire CompactLine.The environment-friendly LEDlighting brings good illuminationto the working area. This is animportant quality and safety fea-ture, as the compact rollers fre-quently work at the end of theroller group in poorly illuminatedareas.
Another new option for allCompactLine models is the springloaded hinged scraper. It keeps thedrums clean while compacting andcan be hinged out of the way bymeans of a foot pedal for replace-ment or cleaning.

Contractors Need Small, Powerful Machines for Tight SpacesBy Jeff WinkeSPECIAL TO CEG
Some projects have small, tight spacesthat require compact equipment with themaneuverability of a sports car, not an 18-wheeler. In these cases, contractorsemploy small dozers, mini-excavators andcompact track loaders. Add to that mix asmall milling machine specifically suitedfor removing road pavements, millingpavement strips, or milling tie-ins.
The latest addition from Roadtec Inc. toits line of milling machines is the RX-100e— a highly maneuverable mini-size millwith a base cutting width of 20-in. (50 cm),maximum cutting depth of 8-in. (20 cm),and a drum diameter with teeth of 30-in.(75 cm).
The weight, power and dimensions ofthis compact machine make it the perfectoption for cutting trenches, demarcationand cutting around manhole covers, or forother narrow spaces. The RX-100e fea-tures a shipping weight of 15,840-lbs.(7,184 kg), a length of 12-ft. 8-in. (3.87m), and a width of 4-ft. 8-in. (1.42 m).
The RX-100e is a 140 hp (103 kW)machine with a hydraulically driven drumand features large access doors on bothsides of the machine for maintenance
access to the interior components. A Cummins QSB 4.5 Tier IVi compliant
diesel engine powers the small utility coldplaner. The RX-100e 140 hp engine iscooled by a high-efficiency variable speedfan. The speed of the fan is based on cool-ing demand, which is designed to decreasethe engine load and increase the fuel econ-omy of the machine.
To add functional versatility, the right,rear leg tube on the RX-100e is positionedalongside the cutter housing for normalmilling, but the leg tube also can be rotat-ed to a position in front of the cutter hous-ing for flush cut operations.
The operator station includes simplecontrols and the operator seat, which incor-porates comfort suspension and can slideout to the right of the machine forenhanced visibility.
The Roadtec RX-100e utility millingmachine is expected to be the ideal choicefor congested urban areas and other con-fined work sites.

Wirtgen’s Tier IV Interim W 250iWIDRIVE Matches Brain With Brawn
Wirtgen’s Tier IV interim-compliantW 250i offers high rates of productivi-ty, maximum cost efficiency and fuel-efficient i-machine technology. Thislarge cold mill can remove asphalt lay-ers with a milling depth of up to 14 in.(35.5 cm), and cut portland cementconcrete surfaces at a high advance rate.
This is possible due to its muscularpower plant, matched with WIDRIVEintelligent machine management sys-tem, three selectable milling drumspeeds, and dual engine concept, whichkeeps operating costs exceptionallylow for a cold milling machine in thisperformance class, according to themanufacturer.
The dual engines of the W 250i —also seen on the W 210i — makes vir-tually two machines in one: a high-per-formance milling machine with the fullpower of two engines totaling 990 hp,and a cost-efficient mill with a singleengine at 599 hp to economicallyremove softer asphalt surface coursesor porous asphalt, for example.
The machine operator can set theoptimum drum speed for any job fromthe operator’s platform via a selectorswitch, allowing him to adapt immedi-ately to changing conditions.
For standard milling jobs, such asthe removal of a surface course, the W250i can operate with the mediummilling drum speed of 1,800 rpm,which produces reclaimed asphaltpavement (RAP) at preferred aggregatesizes. When removing thin surfaces atthe maximum advance rate, the highmilling drum speed of 2,000 rpm maybe selected, producing a superiormilling texture. And for maximum pro-ductivity at lowest cost, the slowestspeed of 1,600 rpm is the right choicefor reduced fuel consumption and lowcutting tool wear.
The W 250i’s standard cutting widthis 7 ft. 3 in. (2.2 m), but this can beextended with additional drum units forworking widths of 8 ft. 2 in., 10 ft. 2 in.,11 ft. 6 in., 12 ft. 6 in., and 14 ft. 5 in.(2.5, 3.1, 3.5, 3.8 and 4.4 m). Theoptional FCS Light quick-change sys-tem for milling drums permits a varietyof different milling operations via dif-ferent milling drums.
At the operator’s platform, a multi-functional control display serves as apractical information hub. It can beswung to the left or right of the opera-tor, together with the level pro control
panel, and displays operating status andservice data.
The control display provides user-friendly diagnostic options with cleargraphics for identifying the source ofany problem. Another handy functionis the logging of job data at the end ofthe day, showing how many truckshave been loaded and the overall ton-nage achieved.
Wirtgen's WIDRIVE machine man-agement system handles many tasksfor the operator in automatic processchains, making it easy to learn how tooperate and control the W 250i. Anoptional camera system with two or sixcameras also is available to monitor upto six working areas on the control dis-play.
The optional parallel-to-surface(PTS) system automatically aligns theW 250i parallel to the road surface,ensuring simple, accurate operation ofthe machine in demanding profilingjobs. PTS also assists the operator inpositioning the machine in the milledcut to initiate the milling process. Inautomatic mode, the system takes careof all the steps that the operator wouldotherwise need to select manually, oneafter another.
The operator activates the level prolevel control system at the flick of aswitch, and all four crawler track unitsof the large milling machine are low-ered simultaneously at high speed.When the milling drum unit reaches thesurface to be milled, the lowering speedis reduced and the milling drum slowly
penetrates the material down to the setdepth. The automatic process helps toprevent excessive cutting tool wear oreven tool failure when milling starts.
The same applies when the W 250iis aligned transverse to the direction oftravel. In many cases, cold millingmachines need to overcome signifi-cant differences in height when beingmoved into or out of the milled cut.The integrated four-fold, full-floatingaxle balances out all four track unitsquickly and reliably to reduce themachine’s lateral inclination to a min-imum. This lends a high degree of sta-bility to the large milling machinewhile the operator moves forward nor-mally, according to the manufacturer.
The W 250i’s intelligent speed con-trol (ISC) system prevents crawlertrack slip and ensures perfect tractionof all track units to achieve maximummilling performance. This, in turn,reduces track pad wear. When negotiat-ing bends, the ISC system automatical-ly increases the speed of the outercrawler tracks depending on the steer-ing angle. As a result, even extremelynarrow bends can be milled using theall-track drive.
An optional vacuum cutting system(VCS) to reduce particulate emissionsat the cutter head is available.

Coalition officials noted that in July,despite overall partisan gridlock, Congressoverwhelmingly extended authorization forthe surface transportation program andenacted a temporary funding patch for theHighway Trust Fund (HTF). That patchensures federal highway, bridge and transitinvestments will continue through next May.However, it was the fifth time in the pastseven years Congress took that approach,requiring nearly $65 billion in supplementalfunding to avoid significant cuts to trans-portation investments.On average, the HTF provides 52 percent
of the funding for highway and bridge capi-tal investments made by the nation’s statetransportation departments each year,Coalition officials added. “Congress needs to ‘keep the horse before
the cart’ and address the trust fund’s long-term revenue problem as was done in the1997 and 2004 tax bills. Then it can developand properly fund a six-year program billearly in 2015,” TCC Co-chair Pete Ruane,president and CEO of the American Road &Transportation Builders Association, said.“And ‘status-quo’ funding levels would sim-
ply perpetuate worsening traffic congestionand the inadequate physical condition of thenation’s highway and transit network.”The latest Congressional Budget Office
projections indicate Congress will need toidentify an additional $7 billion just to pre-serve highway and transit funding for the lastfour months of fiscal year 2015. Federal dataalso show maintaining current programfunding beyond 2015 will require an averageof $16 billion in additional revenues eachyear. That, Coalition officials point out, isthe revenue equivalent of a 10-cent increasein the federal gas tax.Despite widespread desire for a multi-
year federal surface transportation programreauthorization bill to boost economic com-petitiveness and job creation, such legisla-tion cannot move forward until a long-termtransportation funding solution is in place.Coalition officials are urging Congress toidentify and pass a funding HTF revenue fixto ensure Americans and the U.S. economycontinue to benefit from a world class trans-portation network.

Topcon Develops Outreach Programs to Attract Students
• Job postings and internship opportuni-ties through Topcon and its vast dealer net-work
• Online course material including pre-sentations and videos
Recently, EPP partners were invited to animpressive collection of products, systems,software and technology, showcasing whereconstruction has come and is heading, that ison tour in an interactive demonstration andeducation traveling solutions center. TheTopcon Technology Roadshow is currentlyon a 24-city tour of North America, span-ning a 23,000-mi. circuit. The intent is tobring products and training close to thosewho can benefit from it.
The 52-ft. long mobile solutions centeralong with pop-outs and adjunct tents func-tion as the hub for presenting the latest posi-tioning technologies in the construction,surveying and GIS, and architecture/engi-neering/contractor (AEC) professions.
The new mobile classroom within the
customized 18-wheeler trailer seats morethan two-dozen visitors and not only allowsfor centralized demonstrations of the latestTopcon products and technologies, but isdesigned for interactive training sessions aswell.
Trade colleges and university-level tech-nical programs have been invited to partici-pate in the two-day visits at the locations.Counselors, instructors and students havehad opportunities to rub shoulders with sitesurveyors, 3D model builders, earth-movers, and milling and paving contractorswho are coming to see the latest technologyand solutions to their evolving needs.
“I have 24 students about to graduatefrom our heavy-duty-equipment technicianapprentice program who I asked to join meat the Toronto visit of the TechnologyRoadshow — 18 made it,” said Tim Allan,an instructor in The School ofTransportation at Centennial College,Toronto, Ont. “They loved seeing all thetechnologies in the display trailer and thor-oughly enjoyed the hands-on machine con-
trol demonstrations that went on outside inthe field. I was happy that they were askingthe Topcon people good, challenging tech-nical questions rather than just commentingon the operational.”
Allan learned about the TechnologyRoadshow from one of his students whoread about it in a construction trade maga-zine. Having access to the latest productsand seeing demonstrations of how criticalreal time data is to the successful comple-tion of construction projects made theirattendance worthwhile, Allan said.
Thomas Baden, instructor of heavyequipment operation at the Perry Campus ofHocking College, located in NewLexington, Ohio, was accompanied by twoother instructors and 15 of their studentswhen they attended the ColumbusRoadshow.
“It was amazing to see the newer tech-nology and how comprehensive the Topconoffering is,” Baden said. “My students — infact, all of us — are still talking about it.”
Baden said his students were a bit intimi-
dated when they first arrived but the Topcontechnical staff quickly made them feel wel-come.
“The Roadshow was worth it if only tosee how the GPS system controls themachine to achieve grade,” said Baden.“This opened our eyes to how extensive thetechnology is.”
At the Charlotte Technology Roadshow,Joshua Aldridge, instructor of the heavyequipment operator program at StanlyCommunity College, located in Albemarle,N.C., attended the event with nine of his stu-dents.
“My students were surprised to see all thetechnology out there and how machinesworking on a site can be linked to a super-visor on the site and to an off-site office,”Aldridge said. “I didn’t realize how precisethe grade control technology has become,and it seems like the cost for a system hascome down a bit from a few years ago.”

The Associated GeneralContractors of America will providehighway work zone safety trainingclasses next year due to a federal safe-ty grant the association earned. Theassociation will use the $135,000Susan Harwood Training Grant fromthe U.S. Department of Labor to offerthe safety training classes designed toprevent injuries among highway, streetand bridge construction workers, offi-cials said.“No amount of safety gear will pro-
tect a worker if they get hit by a speed-ing vehicle,” said Stephen E.Sandherr, the association’s chief exec-utive officer. “The best defense fromcrashes is teaching crews how to setup and operate safer work zones”According to the latest federal safe-
ty data, from 2003 to 2010, 962 work-
ers were killed at road constructionsites between 2003 and 2010.Meanwhile, a survey conducted by theassociation last spring found that 45percent of contractors had vehiclescrash into their work zones during thepast year. Even worse, workers areinjured in 20 percent of those crashesand killed in 6 percent of those crash-es.The highway work zone safety pro-
gram will be offered in eight differentlocations beginning in January 2015.Sandherr added that the associationexpects the training to have the impactof reaching and protecting thousandsof workers on hundreds of job sites byincorporating best practices that willbe used over and over. The programwill provide comprehensive informa-tion about proper set up of highway
work zones, flagger safety and heavyequipment management, he added.��Inaddition to the highway work zoneprogram, the association offers a vari-ety of safety programs and materialsthat many member construction firmscurrently use on areas such as fall pro-tection, crane safety and safety pro-gram management. The associationoffers educational materials to mem-ber firms as well as online and in-seatsafety training programs.“Our goal is clear, we want every
worker to go home safe and healthy,every day,” Sandherr said.For more information, call 703/548-
