A short 19-mi. (30.5 km) stretch of road justnorth of Detroit has been transformed into animprovement project with a rather complicatedstrategy. Extensive work on the I-96/I-696 cor-ridor in Oakland and Macomb counties has beendivided into four separate projects.
Project 1 consists of rehabilitation of eightbridges and repair of 4 mi. (6.4 km) of pavementin Oakland County between Novi and Halstedroads, including the I-96/I-696/M-5 interchangein Novi and Farmington Hills.
Project 2 picks up where the first project endsand involves pavement patching and rehabilita-tion of 42 bridges on I-696 in Oakland Countybetween Halsted and Campbell-Hilton roads.
Project 3 focuses on rehabilitating 22 bridgeson I-696, 15 of which are located within the I-696/Mound Road interchange.
Project 4 includes rehabilitation of six bridgesand extensive pavement repairs to I-696between Hayes and Nieman roads in MacombCounty. Also included are safety upgrades andlighting replacement on the median and ramps.
OverlapFor all practical purposes, the $67 million
overall project has been divided into two con-tracts — east and west — with two prime con-tractors: Dan’s Excavating out of Grant, Mich.,on the west contract and C.A. Hall on the east.
But even that division is a little blurry.“There are overlapping facets,” says Bob
Daavettila, construction director for Tetra Tech,
particularly concerning the bridge work. A total of 56 bridges will undergo rehabilita-
tion. Because C.A. Hall is a subcontractor for allbridge work on both contracts and since there’sa lot of bridge work in the west contract, Hall isdoing considerable work on both.
“Because they’re a major sub, it leads to a lotof coordination. Hall is at all the meetings forthe Dan’s contract.”
According to Daavettila, the two big con-tracts consist of a two-year project for $47 mil-lion to reconstruct pavement from Novi toFarmington Hills — the west project — and a
$14 million contract to conduct bridge rehabili-tation and concrete patching on I-696 — the eastproject. The west contract involves significantamounts of overlay, but there is none on the eastcontract. Instead, there is, as Daavettila says, “alot of concrete patching.”

Health care reform in the United States has been beaten nearly to deaththis year by advocates and critics alike. Yet as the debate moves intoOctober, the final shape of “reform” remains elusive and elastic with con-struction industry executives anxious about its impact on their companies.
Any change in the system definitely will have impact on contractorsand a sweeping change could upend smaller firms — and most construc-tion companies are small-to-medium-sized. The truth of the matter is the
reform model in which government would provide most health care serv-ices would dramatically change the way every business operates, large orsmall.
It is impractical to hope that health care reform will be tailored to theconstruction industry. Nevertheless, small businesses consistently favorcertain reform initiatives over others. Were Washington to institute reformalong the lines general contractors might lay down, the following featureswould be among the legislated changes:
• New authority for associations to negotiate insurance packages

Aseries of torrential downpours in the Atlantametro area in late September caused what U.S.Geological Survey experts deemed a 500-yearflood, leaving 10 people dead and 20 counties inGeorgia disaster areas. The rain also triggeredextensive flooding throughout Georgia,Tennessee and Alabama. Flooding in Atlantapeaked on Sept. 21, after more than 20 in. of rainfell overnight.
Georgia Gov Sonny Perdue quickly declareda state of emergency in 17 Georgia counties,clearing the way for the massive deployment ofstate personnel and equipment. PresidentBarack Obama followed suit in similar rapidmanner, issuing a Federal Disaster Declarationfor individual assistance to aid residents of the14 counties that were hardest hit: Carroll,Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Cobb, DeKalb,Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Newton, Paulding,Rockdale, Stephens and Walker
The Georgia Emergency ManagementAgency coordinated the state’s recovery effortwith local, state, federal and volunteer counter-parts.
“Damage assessment teams are continuing towork with local authorities in all affected areasof the state to assess losses,” GeorgiaEmergency Management Agency DirectorCharley English told reporters in the days fol-lowing the flood.
With reports of closed highways, roads,bridges, schools and businesses, and as many as20,000 homes and other structures that have suf-fered major damage, Georgia InsuranceCommissioner John Oxendine adjusted his ini-tial estimate of flood-related insurance claims,doubling the total to as much as $500 million.However, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, isn’thappy with even the revised numbers. She pre-dicted to presidential officials that damage willreach $1 billion, pointing out that repairing theR.M. Clayton sewage treatment plant on theChattahoochee River could cost $100 millionalone.

In trucking, cooperation is everything. The same could besaid for construction work, all contracting and the running ofany successful club or organization.
Cooperation in all these arenas came together as one at theAntique Truck Club of America’s Little Rhody Chapter’sSixth Annual Antique Truck Show on Sept. 13 on theWashington County Fairgrounds in Richmond, R.I.Working in conjunction with the Historical ConstructionEquipment Association’s (HCEA) Northeast Rockbustersonce again, more than 60 members of the local AntiqueTruck Club brought out their finest old equipment, to thedelight and surprise of other members, guests and enthusi-asts.
The Antique Truck Club and the Rockbusters hold thisevent every September, drawing people from every NewEngland state. Machines that range from the unusual to thesublime fill the flat fields of the fairgrounds for passersby to
admire.“We combine our shows. We support them and they sup-
port us, even in the rain,” said Jackie Volatile, who organiz-es these shows with her husband, Roger, the club’s president.
What made the presidential couple so proud this year wasthat the event was organized to raise money and food for theRhode Island Food Bank.
We brought in 800 pounds of canned goods. Last year, wefed 2,000 needy families for a year and we are quite proud ofthat,” said Jackie Volatile.
They also are very proud of the cooperation and sharedinterests of their members who bring any and all workingantique machines to these events, as long as they are able.
“We welcome classic trucks, we welcome tractors, any-thing that comes in,” added Roger Volatile. “Antique isantique to us.”
The Volatiles represent the Little Rhody Chapter at nation-al events, usually held in the National Chapter’s home stateof Pennsylvania. “There are 21 different chapters in the

After many years of discussion, an ambitiousproject to ease congestion in Pennsylvania’sdensely populated Bucks and Montgomery coun-ties is finally under way withconstruction of a long-awaitedparkway.
The PennsylvaniaDepartment of Transportation(PennDOT) has estimated thatby 2020 the new highway willbe traveled by between 23,700and 28,300 vehicles daily
Certain changes, however,had to be made before groundcould be broken for the project.
According to PennDOT, theparkway had initially beenplanned as an expressway withlimited access. However, inMarch 2004, the departmentrealized its projected revenueswould not provide enoughfunding for all its proposed
projects and this particular job was among thosere-evaluated. As a result, a parkway was ultimate-ly chosen as an appropriate solution for improvingtravel conditions in the area while remaining with-in the limitations imposed by available funds.

Work on a Utah freeway reconstruction projectso unusual it was featured as NationalGeographic Channel’s “World’s Toughest Fixes”is heading for an on-time, on-budget completionat the end of the year.
What made work on a 2-mi. (3.2 km) stretchof I-80 in Salt Lake City project extraordinarywas the Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC)method using Self Propelled Modular Transports(SPMT) to construct six of 12 bridges and one oftwo ramps in the project.
The $139 million project along a 2-mi. stretchfrom State Street to 1300 East through Salt LakeCity includes construction of the bridges andramp “not at their final location,” John Montoya,project manager, said. Instead, the girders anddecks were constructed on the ground at a “bridgefarm.” Massive transporters moved them to belifted into place along the expressway.
Horrocks Engineering and H.W. LochnerEngineering are the designers and Ralph L.Wadsworth Construction is the general contrac-tor.
Some of the bridges were transported as muchas a mile and a half which is “a good distance,”Montoya said.
“That was significant. There are a fair amountof projects where you move a bridge a couplehundred feet but we actually moved some ofthem a mile and a half.”
The bridges that were moved vary in lengthfrom 85 to 173 ft. (25.9 to 52.7 m) and were 43 to94 ft. (13 to 28.6 m) wide, Carlye Sommers, pub-lic involvement manager for Lochner, said. Thelargest weighed in at 1,350 tons (1,220 t).
The SPMTs that moved the bridges hadapproximately 250 wheels and moved at an aver-age speed of five miles per hour, Sommers said.
The only route crews could move the bridgesdown was the same one they were working on so

Health care reform in the United Stateshas been beaten nearly to death this year byadvocates and critics alike. Yet as thedebate moves into October, the final shapeof “reform” remains elusive and elasticwith construction industry executives anx-ious about its impact on their companies.
Any change in the system definitely willhave impact on contractors and a sweepingchange could upend smaller firms — andmost construction companies are small-to-medium-sized. The truth of the matter isthe reform model in which governmentwould provide most health care serviceswould dramatically change the way everybusiness operates, large or small.
It is impractical to hope that health carereform will be tailored to the constructionindustry. Nevertheless, small businessesconsistently favor certain reform initiativesover others. Were Washington to institutereform along the lines general contractorsmight lay down, the following featureswould be among the legislated changes:
• New authority for associations tonegotiate insurance packages for theirmembers. Besides gaining clout in negoti-ating benefits, association insurance nego-tiators could win lower premiums, if giventhe opportunity. Associated Builders andContractors noted that private insurancecarriers must mark up premiums as muchas 35 percent when dealing with smallgroups in order to meet profit targets andoffset overhead. Whereas associations canprovide the same administrative servicesfor their members at a cost of 15 percent orless — if, that is, members are allowed tobuy insurance through small business

Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental Donates to Rawhide Boys RanchDawes Rigging & Crane Rental, a mem-
ber of the ALL Family of Companies, heldits 17th Annual Golf Outing on Aug. 10.
More than 125 people participated,including Dawes customers, equipmentmanufacturers, and Dawes and ALL man-agement. Through mulligans, raffles, and asilent auction, they raised $6,000 to benefitRawhide Boys Ranch in Wisconsin.
Steve Freckmann, Dawes’ general man-ager, presented the check to Dave Borash,Rawhide’s development manager, on Sept.11.
Rawhide is a faith-based, non-profit resi-dential care center offering moral guidance,
encouragement, therapeutic counseling, spe-cialized education, and work experience fortroubled teen boys.
Freckmann decided five years ago tomake the annual event more meaningful bybenefiting a local charity.
He said the choice of Rawhide BoysRanch grew out of his wish “to help boysand young men who are at risk for makingwrong choices that can lead to a life of fail-ure and broken dreams. I was very blessed tohave a wonderful father and mentor whokept me on the right path.” He added, “Anumber of young men who have worked forDawes could have benefited from a program
like Rawhide; some of these young menwashed out because they came from homeswithout a father figure and lacked a strongwork ethic and a sense of purpose. Now wehave a chance to give back and help these at-risk youths so they may someday enjoy thesame opportunities that many of us take forgranted.”
Freckmann added, “I’m grateful to ourcustomers for coming out during this tougheconomic time and for their generosity indonating to help these young men.”
Dawes has donated to other charitablecauses through the years, including UnitedWay, the Boys & Girls Club, Second
Harvest, and the Milwaukee RescueMission. ALL Family of CompaniesPresident Michael Liptak said, “We areproud that Dawes’ generosity upholds theALL Family of Companies’ commitment tothe communities in which we work.”
Dawes is a certified dealer of new equip-ment for Broderson, Elliott, Genie, Gradall,JLG, Link-Belt, Lull, National BoomTrucks, Peiner, Potain, Skyjack, Sky Trak,Snorkel, Shuttlelift, and Terex forWisconsin.

First Impressions Shine for Bobcat T630 M-Series LoaderIn today’s economic environment,
Superintendent Bob Brzezinski is constantlylooking for ways to keep costs down whilestill getting his projects done. His solution:Buy Bobcat loaders and attachments to dothe same work as larger, single-applicationconventional units.
Brzezinski oversees the maintenance andconstruction of approximately 50 mi. ofroadway.
“We use Bobcat loaders forgrading, sewer work, backfill-ing trenches, asphalt repairs,demolition, and disastercleanup,” he said. “TheBobcat loaders make it somuch easier when we’re doingconstruction work. They’reeasier [to maneuver] than a bigwheel loader on our job sites.We’re often working in con-gested streets and nearbyareas, and parking is always anissue.”
First M-Series LoaderAtlas Bobcat sold
Brzezinski the first M-Seriesloader — a T630 compact
track loader — to complement the depart-ment’s S220.
“When we lay sewer pipe and the groundgets wet, the tracks make it easy for us tobackfill,” he said.
In addition to the benefits of a rubber trackundercarriage, Brzezinski said a number ofM-Series loader improvements were notedimmediately. Here’s what he had to sayabout four important areas:
• Visibility: “The visibility is great withthe bigger windows. We can easily see thecutting edge on the bucket, and I like thelarger window on top when we’re loadingtrucks.”
• Pressurized cab: “This is the firstmachine that I’ve ever owned with anenclosed cab with heat and air conditioning.It’s so quiet. We don’t hear the noise fromthe machine and the other noises outside,
and the dust stays out com-pletely.”
• More cab space:“I’m a big guy, so I like theadded room and morespace to operate the con-trols.”
• Pushing per-formance: Brzezinski saidhis department has a con-ventional wheel loader andthe new T630 will out-pushit. “It’s got a lot of powerfor the size of machine.”
Attachments ReplaceDedicated Machines
Brzezinski believes inhaving an assortment of
attachments rather than stocking larger, spe-cialized single-use equipment. His attach-ment inventory includes the following:
• Augers• Brushcat rotary cutter• Buckets• Dozer blade• Hydraulic breakers• Industrial buckets with grapples• Planers• Snowblowers• Sweepers“I try to buy attachments to minimize the
amount of equipment in our department andthe money we spend,” he said. “We don’thave the room to store the bigger equipment,so it’s better to have one loader and variousattachments rather than a specialized piece.We work off of tax dollars, so we try to makeevery dollar stretch.” For example,Brzezinski said his department will use itsasphalt planer to patch holes in the roadsinstead of contracting out the work.
Brzezinski has benefited from the Bobcatmunicipal program at a time when budgetsare tightening. He’s strongly consideringtrading in the S220 for a new S630.

Visionaire’s Model 2900 Idealfor Off Highway Vehicle Cab
Visionaire Inc. of Grand Prairie,Texas, announced the Model 2900remote coolant heater for applicationswhere engine coolant is not readilyavailable to heat an off highway vehi-cle cab.
The compact model 2900 contains aWebasto coolant heater that uses dieselfuel to generate 8,600 to 17,000 btu/h(2.5 to 5 kW) of heat. The 2900 alsohouses the coolant reservoir, filters,pumps and plumbing necessary for aself contained heat source. An avail-able auxiliary fuel tank can be mount-ed beside the unit, reducing exposedplumbing.
Available alone or in combinationwith various Visionaire air handlers, the2900 reduces the number of redundant com-ponents inside compact cabs. In crane, boomtruck, and mining equipment cabs, designengineers often have to find space for bothan air conditioner and a diesel air heater. Twoseparate systems mean separate inlet andoutlet ductwork, blowers, and controls.Often placed under a seat pedestal or arm-rest, the heater becomes difficult to service
and is neglected. The 2900 allows cab designers the flexi-
bility to integrate heating, cooling and cabpressurization into a single in-cab systemkeeping combustion, fuel and noise outsidethe cab. The 2900’s steel enclosure allowsvarious mounting configurations and easyaccess for service.

HydrauliCircuit Technology Experiences Major GrowthIn 1996, David Perry, CEO of
HydrauliCircuit Technology(HCT) was busy assembling andselling hydraulic kits for attach-ments from his garage.
The company, which specializesin production of easy to installhydraulic kits to operate attach-ments or combination of attach-ments on excavators, loader back-hoes and wheel loaders, wasn’tthere for long, however, as growthcame quickly for the Jonesboro,Ga., company; the following yearPerry moved the operation out ofthe garage and into a 3,000 sq.-ft.-facility and hired staff members.
In 1998 he had to double hissquare footage required to buildhydraulic kits, and then again in1999. In 2009, he expanded yetagain.
This latest expansion puts HCTinto a facility that is almost triplethe size of the previous location —35,000 sq. ft. — and was purpose-ly designed by Perry and built forfurther expansion of his business.
“The previous facility was only13,500 sq. ft. and we were com-pletely full. To accommodate pro-duction, we had to rent additionalspace in adjacent buildings,” Perrysaid.
Situated on a 12.5 acre sitelocated on a street appropriatelynamed Fluid Drive, inMcDonough, Ga., the new site waschosen to provide the companywith plenty of space for expansionand loading and off-loadingmachines. The square footage isbroken down to 25,000 for shopspace and 10,000 for office.
The new facility provides morespace for design, assembly, ship-ping and storage of hydraulic kits.It also equates to providing HCT
with capabilities it did not havebefore, and is equipped with brandnew machinery, including digitalautomated tube bending equip-ment; semi automatic phased pulseMIG welding; and in-house pow-der coating ovens for components.A new sandblast booth and phos-phate steam degreaser will providecleaned and degreased compo-nents to work on or to powder coat.There are a total of five shop bays,four of which are dedicated baysfor in house hydraulic kit installa-tion and can accommodate virtual-ly any machine the company pro-vides work on.
“With more service bays we areable to accommodate moremachines than ever before. Weoffer local dealers such attractivelabor rates for installing the kitsthat they like to bring the machinesto us. Having a particular modelexcavator or backhoe in our shop is
the best way to obtainengineering informationfor producing hydraulickits on other likemachines. When amachine is in our shop,we’re not only installinga hydraulic kit, we’redoing a comprehensive study onthe machine’s hydraulic and elec-tronic system to develop the tech-nology and engineering for numer-ous kit designs on that model.,”said HCT president, Navin Baliga.
All kits are custom built tomatch the machine and attachmentspecifications.
In looking back at the progres-sion of his business, Perry said,“our original customer base wasend users back in the early days ofthe company. Business thenexpanded more to equipment deal-erships, which quickly became ourlargest customer base. Now, we are
the OEM kit supplier to manyattachment manufacturers. Mostrecently, we have begun to workwith the carrier machine OEM’s.So we’re seeing the OEM as thedirection for future businessexpansion. We think there will beopportunities with this new facilityfor the OEM’s to bring machineshere. Whereas before, thehydraulic kits were shipped outand installed in the field, we can doresearch and development here forthe OEMs.
“We already are working withcompanies such as Komatsu, JohnDeere, CNH Corp. Kobelco,
Doosan, Link-Belt, Volvo, IHI,Kubota and Takeuchi. Right now,we are working with a manufactur-er on engineering, design anddevelopment of wheel loaderhydraulic kits for utilizing roll outbuckets, hydraulic forks and differ-ent attachments where you need athird hydraulic function.”
Recently, HCT plumbed a brandnew John Deere 850D, 85-tonexcavator, at their facility inMcDonough which was transport-ed from the port of Savannah, Ga.
“Having a convenient locationjust off of Interstate 75, theJD850D was dropped off here forthe work and then was transportedon to the end user in Knoxville,Tenn. We anticipate more businessbeing conducted in the same wayin the future. Savannah is a majorentry point for excavators andother machines coming into theU.S. We make it very convenientto drop off a machine at our facili-ty to have the work done beforebeing transported to its final desti-nation,” Perry said.
“Looking back, it seems likethere has been a natural progres-sion of starting with end users, thento equipment dealers, then ontoattachment manufacturers, andnow to the manufacturers of thecarrier machines. It has been a lotof fun, and we are looking forwardto the next phase of growth for ourcompany,” Perry said.

Municipalities Team Up for Bishop Ford Freeway Rehab under way quickly, with crews starting workon May 11.
Holy Highway Work, Batman!Formerly known as the Calumet
Expressway, the Bishop Ford Freeway isnamed after Chicago religious activistBishop Louis Henry Ford, who preached inChicago for 40 years and presided over theChurch of God in Christ. He died in 1995.
The southside roadway is a portion ofInterstate 94 that runs from Interstate 57south to the intersection with Interstates 80and 294 (the Tri-State Tollway) and IllinoisRoute 394. It turns into the Dan RyanExpressway to the north and the KingeryExpressway to the east of the Tri-StateTollway.
The Bishop Ford is the only toll-free free-way-grade road in the greater Chicago areawith the designation of freeway. All the oth-ers – Dan Ryan, Kennedy, Edens,Stevenson, Eisenhower, Elgin-O’Hare,Kingery and Borman – are called express-ways, a Chicago colloquialism.
As the main link between Chicago andnorthwest Indiana, it sees heavy traffic, themajority of which, according to IDOT’sMarisa Kollias, is truck traffic. Originallyconstructed in 1962, the Bishop Ford is oneof many aging roadways in need of refur-bishment.
On the SurfaceTwenty years ago when Myszkowski first
worked on the Bishop Ford, the asphalt mixwas very different. It would “rut heavilyunder stress from truck traffic,” he said.
Today, the stone matrix asphalt mix used onthe project is designed to last longer, with noruts. The new mix doesn’t separate.Therefore, there are no “pockets” in the newsurface that lead to pot holes and ruts.Another improvement is the material’s skidresistance. “We’ve been using it on theexpressways for about 10 years. It performsvery well.”
One ironic twist in using the new mix,however, is that takes longer to apply.Although pavers used to go 40 to 50 ft. (12to 15 m) per minute, crews on the BishopFord are going 20 ft. (6 m) per minute. “Youcan’t go as fast with this mix,” Myszkowskiexplained. “Quality comes first.”
The slower speed doesn’t mean worktakes twice as long, though. Transfer devices— shuttle buggies — are used to haul themix from the plant and dump it into thepavers. Because the pavers are moving moreslowly, the shuttle buggies are able to keepup with them so they never have to stop.
In addition to the typical pavers androllers on a road construction job, the BishopFord project requires a three-wheel roller.The older model was brought back,Myszkowski said, because the new asphaltmix demands static rolling rather than vibrat-ing. The older roller’s 85-in. (215 cm) deckhelps speed the process.
Approximately 90,000 tons (81,650 t) ofthe asphalt mix will be used on the 9-mi.roadway, with a different mix being con-cocted for the shoulders. Myszkowskiexplains that one 3-mi. (4.8 km) sectionsouth of the steel bridge at 142nd Street willget a 4-in. (10 cm) base, while the rest of thefreeway will get a 2-in. (5 cm) base. Becausethat 3-mi. stretch is more deteriorated, hesaid crews had to strip all the old asphalt offdown to the concrete. On the rest, crews aremilling off 2 in. before repaving.
Scheduled ClosingsWhen you remove asphalt, Myszkowski
continues, you have to do it twice. “You canonly take off two inches at a time becauseyou don’t want too much difference betweenlanes. It’s a safety issue.” That’s why crewsare doing all asphalt work at night. The roadis open to traffic during the day, althoughsome lanes remain closed during the day forcenter median construction and guardrailsreplacement. Bridge work also is being donein “staged construction,” while one lane isclosed.
It’s a unique project, according toMyszkowski, because of the schedule,which calls for nighttime and weekend laneclosures, with some single-lane configura-tions, since much of the work will be done inthe overnight hours. He explains the reason:“We can’t put [three lanes of traffic] into onelane until late at night.” However, crews
have to be completely off by 5 a.m. A 90-minute tear-down shortens the nighttimeworking hours.
During weekday rush hours, they’re try-ing to maintain three lanes of traffic in eachdirection. However, Myszkowski said theyare allowed to close one lane. And, in fact, insome sections, traffic has been reduced totwo lanes for months. Traffic along theStony Island feeder ramp has been reducedto one lane in each direction intermittently,as have exit and entrance ramps at 111th,115th, 130th, 147th and 159th streets,although ramps are not being closed concur-rently.
The DOT has alerted travelers that long-term lane closures are necessary to completebridge, patching and median work at variouslocations and times and to expect delays orseek alternate routes and public transporta-tion.
All closures are weather-dependent, as isthe schedule. Myszkowski explained that ifit’s raining at 8 p.m., they aren’t allowed toput up lane closures for the entire night. “It’sa safety issue. We don’t take chances on anexpressway.”
Weather also affects delivery of theasphalt mix, which requires a two-hour cur-ing period at the plant. Approximately 400tons (362 t) is mixed in each batch and sits ina silo, curing, for two hours before beinghauled to the work site. It is replenished aspaving progresses. But short hours on nightjobs force Myszkowski to play weatherman.“We fight the battle: do we make the mix?We hate to make it if we have to cancel apour because of weather. That hurts ourbudget.”
Weather permitting, the majority of the
work this time around is expected to be com-pleted in the fall of 2009. A mostly dry sum-mer has helped keep them on schedule, soMyszkowski anticipates finishing on time.Additional nighttime lane closures will benecessary in the spring of 2010 to completethe project.
Continued CooperationLane closures have increased congestion
on this heavily traveled stretch of road.Kollias said the DOT has worked exhaus-tively to get the word out to impacted munic-ipalities (Chicago, South Holland, CalumetCity and Dolton) and travelers through mes-sage boards, press releases and various newsoutlets, issuing updates on traffic changes aswork progresses.
“They’ve done a great job getting theword out,” Myszkowski said. “There’s beena positive response. People are aware of thework and taking alternate routes.” Evencrewmembers have been forced to find alter-nate routes. More than 100 workers areonsite during the two shifts.
Myszkowski said he looked for sideroutes to get asphalt in quickly. He said it’sworked out well — the best he’s seen it of allthe times he’s worked on the Bishop Ford.He expects this to be his last time resurfac-ing the freeway, noting that the 10-yeardesign of the new matrix should last until heretires. “If you can get 10 years out of a bitu-minous job with the kind of weather andtraffic we have up here, it’s outstanding.”

The current rehabilitation project involves resurfacing all lanes and shoulders ofthe 9-mi. (14.5 km) stretch of freeway between Martin Luther King Drive and 159thStreet, as well as pavement patching, bridge repairs, new guardrail installation andexit/entrance ramp resurfacing — including the Stony Island Feeder Ramp.
One of nearly 250 “shovel-ready” con-struction projects in Illinois, the $27.5million job, funded by PresidentObama’s American Recovery andReinvestment Act, is a joint ventureheaded by Chicago area-basedGallagher Asphalt and K-FiveConstruction. Let in April, work gotunder way quickly, with crews startingwork on May 11.

Friends, Colleagues MournDeath of Tim Atchley, 53
Friends and colleagues are telling storiesabout Tim Atchley, a long-time employee ofTramac.
And whether they’re talking about hisencyclopedia-like product knowledge or hisneed for speed, they are all smiling as theyremember.
Mr. Atchley died in Indianapolis, Ind., onSept. 1 at the age of 53, following a coura-geous battle with cancer, but it was his mixof professional leadershipand personal friendlinessthat are being fondly recalledand honored.
He was employed in theheavy construction equip-ment industry all of his life,from his earliest mechanictraining in Nashville, Tenn.,where he worked as a welderto pay for his schooling. Heeventually went to work fora heavy equipment dealer insouthern Indiana as a fieldservice technician, then laterwith other road equipmentmanufacturers in variouscustomer service positions.Most recently, Mr. Atchleywas with Tramac/DIIAttachments, a division ofDoosan InfracoreInternational, as a productsupport manager helpingdealers throughout the coun-try.
“Throughout his sickness,he worked and traveledwhen he was able and remained optimisticabout the future,” said Joe Forth, generalmanager. “He joined Tramac in the mid-1990’s and went through a lot of changeswith many of us. But one thing I knew — Icould always trust him and rely on him to dothe right thing. No doubt about it.”
His hands-on experience working onmachines themselves gave Mr. Atchleyenormous credibility in the industry and as amanager.
“The dealers’mechanics that worked withTim knew he was able to do any task hewould ask them to do. This credibilityallowed Tim to immediately get to the heartof any problem and his training programswere always well received,” recalled Tramaccolleague Jerry Fifer.
Fifer also saw first-hand how Mr.Atchley’s extensive product knowledge,service experience and easy way with thosewho worked for him allowed him to managein a way that produced almost immediatemutual trust.
Greg Clinton, another Tramac employee,recalled the two sides of Mr. Atchley: theweekend side when he and his wife wouldjump on their motorcycles, and the weekdayside totally dedicated to helping customers.
“I remember he would tell me on Mondaymornings about his weekend travels. Herarely used a map. They would just get onand ride,” said Clinton. “Professionally, Timwas incredible. Calls were always returned,
his reports were detailed to the point thatquestions were answered before you couldask. Tim was a straight shooter, no-nonsensetype of person. He loved his work and was afantastic communicator and teacher.”
Along with his love of motorcycles, Mr.Atchley was passionate about auto racing.As a young man he owned and raced a sprintcar, and was well-known at most of thetracks in the Midwest. One friend recalledMr. Atchley keeping his gear in the trunk ofhis car at all times in case an owner needed alast-minute substitute driver.
Ron Van Dunk, a 16-year friend and col-league agreed that Mr. Atchley was an all-around reliable and consistent professional.
“Tim was two different people. There wasthe intense ‘at work’Tim and then there wasthe fun-loving Harley riding Tim. He wasalways the kind of guy that would be therefor you and do anything to help you, both inbusiness and personally. I miss him deeply,”he said.
Tim Atchley lost his battle with cancer on Sept. 1.

Toll Road Widened to Accommodate Population Growth
and Reith Riley Construction Co., for the job.Since the fall of 2006, Indiana Toll-Roads Contractors
LLC has worked on the Indiana Toll Road projects betweenmile post 10.6 and 20.27 — widening the major thorough-fare from two to three lanes.
“The road will be widened and reconstruct — decksremoved,” Jim Wiseman of Indiana Toll-Roads ContractorsLLC, said. “ The upper decks are being removed. [We arealso doing] earthworks, widening, new columns and sup-ports, pretty much a total reconstruct.”
Additionally, the project consists of concrete paving,asphalt paving, new bridge structures, new columns andearthworks.
This design-build project was divided into three phases.Each phase included pavement and structure enhancementsto accommodate an additional driving lane.
Completion is scheduled for end 2010. These works are in accordance with the Mandatory
Expansion Projects required by the Indiana Toll RoadConcession and Lease Agreement.
A Growing PopulationIn operation since 1956, the Indiana Toll Road stretches
157 mi. across Indiana from Ohio to the Illinois state line.The highway links Chicago with the eastern seaboard andalso serves as the primary connecting route to the ChicagoSkyway.
“The traffic studies have been in place for years,”Wiseman said. “The Indiana Toll Road has seven countiesalong that span, but the most heavily traveled area is LakeCounty and Porter County, because of their proximity toChicago. If you listen to the radio in this area, I-94 is con-stantly backed up, so [the toll road has] become a tremen-dous asset as an alternative route.”
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, St. John’s popula-tion more than doubled. In Porter, it grew by 33 percent. Asa result, this population growth was the impetus for widen-ing the Toll Road.
The project materialized in 2006 when the governor of
Indiana, Gov. Mitch Daniels, leased the Indiana Toll Road toIndiana Toll Road Concession Company for 75 years. At thatpoint, Ferrovial Agroman Indiana LLC and Reith Riley wentinto a partnership and the Indiana Toll-Roads ContractorsLLC were formed to perform the Mandatory ExpansionWorks.
“By the fall of 2006, the project started and has been in fullgear ever since,” Wiseman said. “We’ve pretty much workedeven through the winters because of our tight time frame.The project is slated to be finished by December of 2010.”
Wiseman added that the project also employs a crew of125 to 200 workers on any given day.
“This area has exploded with Illinois residents movingfrom the south suburbs over here,” Wiseman said. “Peopleare coming, so it only makes sense that you’ve got to preparefor the future by widening the roads.”
Because of the heavy traffic caused by this populationexplosion, the state of Indiana had already begun wideningthe Indiana Toll Road, but then the state leased the road toIndiana Toll Road Concession Company LLC.
“One of the commitments that Indiana Toll RoadConcession Company LLC made, [when they leased the tollroad], was that they would continue with this project andwiden this portion of the road,” Wiseman said.
Facing ChallengesIndiana Toll-Road Contractors not only have to contend
with traffic but with neighboring buildings and businessincluding U.S. Steel. Wiseman said dealing with under-ground utilities has been the one of the biggest challengeson the Indiana Toll Road widening project.

“We’re finding surprises on a daily basis sometimes,”Wiseman said. “There’s everything from fiber optic lines tohidden sewers that have been there for a hundredyears…When you’re right next to one of the biggest steelmills in the world, you can imagine what’s underground.”
Indiana Toll-Roads Contractors LLC has “about a dozen”subcontractors to help with the underground surprises, but ithas still been a challenge, mainly because utilities take time.
“We’re under a strict time limitation, so any chance thatwe [can work, even in] inclement weather, we’re out thereworking. In the last winter, we really had a major effortthrough the winter and though rainstorms,” Wiseman said.
Cutting Bridges in HalfThe Indiana Toll Road project runs across different land-
scapes including the Grand Calumet River. Engineering the project around the snaking river also has
been challenging at times.Wiseman noted that, during construction, Indiana Toll-
Road Contractors LLC also were required to maintain twolanes of traffic in each direction.
“There are areas where we’ve actually got to split thebridge move traffic to one side while we tear the other sidedown, and finally and jack it up to right elevation and per-form a brand new deck, which becomes a huge engineeringfeat,” Wiseman said.
Big effort is also put in to maintain two lanes of traffic ineach direction, and that’s important on a project like this,because many commuters depend on the Indiana Toll Road.
Maintaining the MachinesBecause of the size of the project, Wiseman commented
that Indiana Toll-Road Contractors has been using Caseequipment, rented from McCann Industries, for the project.
“It’s worked out absolutely wonderful,” Wiseman said.“We’ve had a wide variety of Case equipment out there andit has performed beautifully.”
Currently, there are 13 machines on the job: six Case exca-vators — two CX210s, a CX225, two CX330s and aCX290; two 721E Case wheel loaders; two FB208 vibrato-ry compactors; an SV212 vibratory compactor; two 850Kdozers; and a 580 Super M.
Wiseman added, on average, 15 to 25 machines work atthe job site.
The equipment has the Qualcom Tracs system installed onit, and the system doesn’t just track stolen equipment. It alsotracks things that are much more mundane, such as when tochange the oil.
“[McCann] knows when it’s time for servicing, whetherit’s a $100 service, a $500 service, a $1,000 service, whetherit needs an oil change or it’s time for filters or it’s time fortransmission fluids,” Wiseman said. “At that point, McCanncalls us and we give them approval to go forward.”
Like clockwork, McCann does the maintenance and then
sends an invoice.“And it’s done. It’s one stop shopping. It’s been really
effective and very easy to track that way,” Wiseman said.Maloney added, “Our service manager, Tom Crawford,
coordinates with the Indiana Toll Road Contractors field per-sonnel. [They determine] when the most opportune time is toservice [the equipment] to keep the disruption to a minimum,so we go out evenings or on a Saturday or when we knowthe machine is down to get the maintenance done.”
Most of the maintenance is done onsite.“There’s been minimal down time,” Wiseman said.

T800, T370 Trucks Help Kokosing Construction Reduce CostsAs one of the largest contractors in
Ohio, Kokosing Construction has beengrowing and prospering since 1951. Thecompany is about as diverse as it getswith operations in 10 states, in 25 differ-ent fields — from asphalt paving andbridge building to laying sub aqueouspipeline and building water treatmentplants.
“In a down economy, it helps to bediversified,” said Wayne Queen, truck-ing manager of Kokosing. “It also helpsto have a well-run equipment operationto control costs, which allows us to beultra competitive on bids. It’s anotherthing we feel separates us from the com-petition.”
Running nearly 2,000 pieces of heavyequipment, which includes Class 7 and 8 trucks, dozers,excavators, cranes and a litany of other equipment, the com-pany has won numerous local and national awards for itsprojects, the quality of its work, and the management of itsoperations.
“Safety and quality are at the core of Kokosing’s ideolo-gy,” said Queen. “While it may cost more up front for betterequipment and investing in people to do a better job, it paysout in the end. As an example, we’ve been buyingKenworths as our primary truck for 10 years now and we candocument their payback in lower operating costs and higherresidual value.”
The company runs 42 Kenworth T800s and a number ofT370 medium duty trucks as lowboys, fuel and lube vehi-cles, boom trucks, flatbeds and water trucks. The companyalso uses a T370 and T800 as jet trucks — vehicles equippedwith a tank and power sprayer (up to 65 gal. [246 L] perminute at 2500 psi) to clean out sanitary lines.
According to Queen, the value of a Kenworth has beenseen over time.
“Some of the corners on the cabs of our other trucks haverusted out, so corrosion — due primarily from the heavyroad salt we have in Ohio — really takes its toll on equip-ment,” he said. “But with Kenworth’s aluminum and fiber-glass construction, it’s not a problem. Our goal is to get twobody mounts out of a truck, and with a Kenworth, that’s agiven. I can’t say that with confidence about other makes.”
While service longevity is a key, serviceability and cost ofownership also is a bottom-line difference maker. The com-pany looks at its operational costs on a cost-per-hour, versuscost-per-mile basis.
“We look at these numbers when we assign equipment
costs on a project,” Queen said. “Looking at the costs ofoperating Kenworths over the past 10 years show we’ve hadno increase, other than for fuel or lubes. That’s huge whenyou consider inflation, so our ‘real’ numbers have actuallydecreased.”
And the Kenworths keep on running. “That’s vital of course,” Queen said. “Many in the con-
struction world look at water trucks as the last life for a rig.But we don’t. We’ve put into service new Kenworth T800swith 4,000 gallon tanks. They’ll only put on 15,000 miles perannum and operate 7 months out of the year, but they’re vitalin keeping dust down on projects; for servicing our asphaltrollers; curing bridge decks; washing down concrete pavers[with 100 foot water hose with adjustable spray head]. If we
have a water truck that’s down, that’spotentially $1,000 an hour we’re losing.We don’t take chances with our equip-ment.”
And Queen said it’s the company’soverall philosophy that if it puts out thebest in quality, it has to invest in the best.
“We run two shifts — so night and dayoperations, with much of our equipmentrarely resting,” he said. “Right now in thesummer we’re virtually running at 100percent equipment utilization. So, wecan’t afford downtime. Plus we want ourdrivers to be productive and comfortable.The trucks have an excellent turningradius and are very comfortable to drive.One of our best decisions was to go withKenworth’s extended day cab. The driv-
ers love all the extra room.”The Kenworth extended day cab enhances driver comfort
with an additional 6 in. of length and 5 in. of cab height com-pared to Kenworth’s traditional day cab. The extended daycab also offers 2 more inches behind the wheel, additionalleg room, up to 21 degrees of recline in the driver’s seat, and2 extra cu. ft. of storage behind the driver’s seat.
Dealer support and spec’ing assistance also comes intoplay. Queen said his relationship with Columbus Kenworthis excellent and a creative spec’ing process between the deal-ership and Kenworth engineering helped Kokosing solve amajor challenge.
“We had a long-term project where we had to go over a 30to 35 percent grade over rock and dirt. We worked withKenworth to spec a T800 fuel truck with a locking rear dif-ferential, a Hendrickson PRIMAAX suspension — air bagswith torsion bars, and a 470 hp engine with 1,650 footpounds of torque driven through a 10-speed transmissionwith oil pump. The rear axle ratio is 4.78. The truck worksbeautifully.”
While Kokosing generally keeps its T800s for eight tonine years or 800,000 mi. (whichever comes first), there isno shortage of buyers for the second life of the Kenworths.
“We have an excellent maintenance program and keepdetailed records,” said Queen. “We’ve never had to trade inour vehicles — we’ve always had operators waiting in linefor our trucks. And another plus is resale value. We com-mand high value when we sell our Kenworths.”

Felling’s Air Tilt Deck-Over Eliminates Need for HydraulicsIn September of this year Felling Trailers
released the Air Tilt Deck-Over. This designutilizes air, powered from the tow vehicle, totilt the trailer and optional ramps, eliminat-ing the need for hydraulics. The air powerfrom the tow vehicle fills two air bags,which then raise the trailer smoothly; the airbag will then keep the deck in the tilted posi-tion to allow for loading/unloading of multi-ple pieces of equipment. The deck then low-ers itself by releasing the air pressure at acontrolled rate to prevent the deck fromslamming down. These trailers also are
equipped with Felling’s air-latch system(deck lock). This allows the user to lock andunlock the deck with the flip of a switchinstead of working with cumbersome leversor walking from one side of the deck to theother.
Towing capability andbalance were achieved byplacing the axles furtherback on the Air Tiltmodel than other tilt trail-ers on the market. Thesemodels also are usefulfor transporting low
clearance equipment such as pavers, scissorlifts, forklifts and more with its low-clear-ance loading angle. With the option oframps, a load angle as low as 7 degrees canbe achieved for loading equipment.
In the construction of this trailer Fellinguses a high grade 80 steel for
the main struc-tural beamsthat was fab-ricated in-house. The
use of thesebeams in turn
increases the trailer’s strength yet reducesthe total trailer weight. There are two basemodels for the Air Tilt; the FT-40 TA, whichhas a load capacity of 40,000 lbs. (18,143kg) and the FT-50-3 TA with a load capacityof 50,000 lbs. (22,679 kg).
Standard Features include• Deck — white oak 2 in. nominal and 6
ft. wood inlaid beavertail• Main beam and crossmembers — high
strength grade 80 steel• Approximate deck height — 32 in.
loaded• Tilting mechanism – (2) air bags• Felling Air-Latch System (deck lock)• Tie downs and storage — 10 D-Rings
and toolbox with lockable cover• 25,000 lb. oil bath axles (CTR)• Brakes — 2S/1M with park brakes on
all axles• 5-year limited structural warranty• 3-year paint warrantyFor more information, visit
www.felling.com.
The Air Tilt Deck-Over utilizes air, powered from thetow vehicle, to tilt the trailer and optional ramps,eliminating the need for hydraulics.
HTB LT Rear Air SuspensionAvailable on ProStar Trucks
Hendrickson’s weight saving HTB LTrear air suspension is now available onInternational ProStar trucks, HendricksonTruck Suspension Systems officialsannounced.
A lightweight, non-torque reactive rear airsuspension, HTB LT delivers the additionaladvantages of smooth ride and low mainte-nance and weighs in as the lightest suspen-sion in its class, saving up to 263 lbs. (119kg) compared to industry standard 40,000 lb.(18,144 kg) suspensions, according to themanufacturer.
Fleets in weight sensitive applicationssuch as tankers, bulk haulers and refrigerat-ed carriers, where a pound saved is an addi-tional pound of payload hauled, derive greatbenefit from HTB LT. The weight savings isattributed to its optimized design featuringparallelogram geometry, which eliminatesleaf springs and reduces components for
additional weight savings.HTB LT’s torque box system improves
multi-axial stability and control, according tothe manufacturer.
The cross-member, frame hangers andtorque rods are efficiently designed to reduceweight while improving durability. Large,direct acting air springs carry 100 percent ofthe vertical load, as compared to trailing armsuspensions where vertical load is sharedbetween air springs and leaf springs. Thiskey difference reduces vibration and harsh-ness.
HTB LT’s centrally placed frame hangereliminates the dual hangers found in a trail-ing arm suspension. Innovations like shockabsorber mountings integrated with thetorque rod further reduce complexity andpart count.

Teamwork Key to Successof Toll Road Construction
“They’ve been just absolutely phenomenalas far as being able to service our needs,being there on a timely basis.”
The Case of a Missing CaseThe Qualcom Tracs system came in
handy almost instantly and saved IndianaToll-Road Contractors a valuable piece ofiron.
This occurred when Mike Maloney ofMcCann Industries called Wiseman to ask ifthe machine was where it was supposed tobe in November 2008. Maloney informedWiseman that his Case equipment hadmoved off the Indiana job site.
No one expected it to turn up in SouthHaven, Mich.
“These machines are locked into an areabased on their Qualcom GlobalTracs GPSsignals,” Wiseman explained. “You can setboundaries and say, ‘If this machine goespast Broadway [Street] on the west andTennessee [Avenue] on the east, send analert,’ and McCann gets alerted through thesystem that the machine is on the move.”
After receiving the call, Wiseman sent asupervisor to check on the machine, but itwas nowhere to be found.
“So at that point, McCann’s service man-ager got into the system and started tracking[the machine],” Wiseman said. “He discov-ered that the machine was sitting on the cor-ner of I-94 and a side street in South Haven,Mich.”
Wiseman called the South Haven policeand within a couple of minutes, the machine
was located in the parking lot of the RamadaInn.
“That’s a testament to the GlobalTracssystem,” Wiseman said.
Unfortunately, they never caught the per-petrators.
“They [perpetrators] took the machine.Obviously they had to have a lowboy tomove it,” Wiseman said. “Somewhere alongthe line, they must have got spooked. Theytook it off of the lowboy and just dropped itin the parking lot. We were never able tocatch them, but within three hours, we hadthe machine back at the job site.”
Teamwork Gets It DoneDuring the whole project, Indiana Toll-
Road Contractors has had to work closelywith the city of Gary, Ind., with the state ofIndiana, with local business such as U.S.Steel, with major utility companies and evena minor league baseball stadium.
Wiseman said that Indiana Toll-RoadsContractors LLC keeps an eye on local traf-fic while keeping public safety in mind.
“It’s been a major feat keeping everybodyin the loop and safe,” Wiseman said. “Thegeneral public is our main concern.”
