Safety was a key factor in reconstructing a 3.5 mi. (5.6 km) stretch of Interstate 90 andapproach slabs for eight bridges at Exit 30 at Sturgis, S.D.
The project took place from the Lawrence County line at Exit 28 to just west of the Exit32 interchange in the northern Black Hills of South Dakota on the western edge of the state.
A curve at Exit 30 and a narrow 30-ft. bridge caused some safety issues that needed to beaddressed, said Brenda Flottmeyer, lead project engineer of the South Dakota Departmentof Transportation.
The main shaft of the 125-year-old San JoseMine near Copiapo, 500 mi. north of Santiago,Chile, collapsed on Aug. 5, 2010.
An estimated 700,000 tons of rock shifted, trap-ping 33 men 2,300 ft (700 m) underground. Thegroup was able to reach a reinforced area serving asan emergency refuge in the gold and copper mine,privately owned by Compania Minera San EstebanPrimera.

Tiffin Loader Crane Begins Administering NCCCO CertificationBy Kristie Pohlman SPECIAL TO CEG
Earlier this year, Tiffin Loader Crane in Tiffin,Ohio, one of Palfinger’s largest U.S. crane deal-ers, hosted a National Commission for theCertification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) work-shop to train examiners. This workshop served tonot only certify them as operators, but also toaccredit them for ABC (Articulating BoomCranes) and ABL (Articulating Boom Loaders)class cranes so that they are able to administer thepractical section of the certification as well. MattDrosky, production manager, and John Kosta,service operations specialist, both of Tiffin LoaderCrane, took part in the training.
Tiffin Loader Crane also recently conducted itsfirst session of NCCCO exams. This first roundof certification included 16 individuals scheduledfor the testing.
Putting his newly acquired skills to the test,Kosta administered the “hands-on,” or practical,portion of the test. He explained that the examina-tion also consists of a written section that is takenfirst and is administered by representatives fromthe NCCCO.
What the NCCCO represents is the develop-ment of standards for the required skills to safelyoperate cranes and establish an impartial and cred-ible examination for crane operators. InDecember 2008, Palfinger North America hostedthe first meeting of the new NCCCO-ACTF andhas been an active participant since.
There is a lot of information covered in this pro-gram and it can seem daunting, however the endresult will be improved safety at jobsites. Notonly will accidents, injuries and loss of life be sig-nificantly reduced by this program, but the imple-mentation of it also translates to cost savings.
Another benefit to having certified crane oper-ators will be that their expertise increases theirability to work more efficiently. This means thatprojects are more likely to be completed in a time-ly manner. The law for this certification is man-dated in many U.S. states already but numerouscompanies have taken the initiative to start theprocess.
“Many guys are surprised by the practicalexam. It’s not that it’s difficult, but it’s a matter ofcompleting the course in time” said Kosta.During the practical portion of the testing, opera-tors need to navigate a load through an obstaclecourse while maintaining certain factors such asavoiding poles set up as boundaries for the course.
When asked what his advice was to people whoneed to take the certification, Kosta stated “As faras the written part is concerned, the best thing youcould do is to go to the NCCCO website anddownload the study guides.”
When it comes to the practical side, Kostaencourages everyone to practice. “That’s the key,get in as much time on the machine as you can” hesaid.
To register for the certification, visitwww.nccco.org. CQ

Prior to the practical exam for NCCCO certification, attendees were permitted time to practice on the Palfinger cranes.

Univ. of DubuqueOKs $57M for NewArts Center, Housing
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) A $57 million project will bringa new performing arts center and additional student housingto the University of Dubuque. The Telegraph Herald report-ed that the school’s board of trustees recently approved theconstruction money, including $30 million for a PerformingArts, Worship and Campus Center and $27 million for hous-ing. University president Jeffrey Bullock said both will bebuilt at the same time and a groundbreaking will be on com-mencement day in May 2011.
Bullock said the decision by the board to pay for the proj-ects are second in importance only to the 1999 “Plan forTransformation.” Under that effort, 23 majors and 14 facul-ty jobs were cut to improve the university’s financial status,strengthen academics and attract more students.
Enrollment has since increased by about 1,300 studentsand donors have provided funding for many constructionprojects. The three-story performing arts center will span77,000 sq. ft. and feature glass, steel and brick. It is expectedto be finished in the fall of 2012.
Steadily growing undergraduate enrollment at the schoolhas heightened the need for housing. Enrollment grew fromabout 1,000 students in 2004 to about 1,590 students in 2010.
The university plans to complete construction of threesuite-style student residences in August 2012.

Pa. Companies Aid in Rescue of 33 Trapped Chilean Minersto cooperate in their own interests.
Thus under the leadership ofUrzua and without knowing whenor even if they would be rescued,the men stretched two or threedays’ supply of food for more thantwo weeks, limiting themselves toa cracker and minute amounts oftuna and peaches every two days.Although they were unable to runit too long because of the likeli-hood of contaminating their air, theminers used a bulldozer to access apocket of water, having also drunkwater from the radiators of equip-ment entombed with them.
Since the miners could not bereached from the surface and theirwhereabouts was initiallyunknown, boreholes were drilledin an effort of find them.
Four T685WS exploration rigsmanufactured by West Chester,Pa.-based Schramm Inc. wereamong nine used in these attempts.The rigs concerned are owned byChilean drillers Adviser Drilling,Geotec Boyles Bros S.A., MajorDrilling S.A., and Terraservice. Allfour companies work in the miner-al exploration industry.
Although this drilling began onAug. 8, it was not until Aug. 22 thatTerraservice’s T685WS drillreached the trapped miners. A notefrom the men written in red inkannouncing they were well subse-quently came up attached to thedrill.
Three boreholes of 5.5 in. (14cm) diameter drilled by this rig andothers of the same model wereused to lower food, LED lights,water and similar supplies in 5 ft.long (1.5 m) plastic containers theminers dubbed pigeons or doves.Medications were provided by thisroute for three miners with healthproblems — Gomez has silicosis,Jose Ojeda suffers from diabetes,and Jorge Galleguillos, who is oneof 14 brothers and has hyperten-sion. However, Claudio Yanez wasreportedly not pleased wheninstead of requested cigarettes hewas sent nicotine patches.
Communication with the out-side world was facilitated viastreaming video, a camera havingbeen lowered to the men the daythey were located.
To reach the men, a narrow shaftwas bored for the escape capsule, atask made more difficult becausethe shaft began at an angle beforeplunging vertically due to thenecessity of curving its path to
avoid dangerous areas. The major-ity of the shaft passed through solidrock and in addition, once the shaftwas drilled, to guard against thepossibility of blockage it was nec-essary to close off fractured rock atits upper end. The first 165 ft. (55m) were therefore lined andstrengthened with steel casing.
Three simultaneous drillingoperations were undertaken toreach the men.
Plan A involved a Strata 950drilling rig run by CemetationCanada Inc. South African miningcompany Murray & Roberts wasalready operating the rig in Chileand it was the first to begin boringan escape shaft. Due to the methodof operation the miners had to clearaway drilling debris in round-the-clock shifts and it has been esti-mated they moved up to 771 tons700 t) in this fashion.
Plan C used a RIG-421 oildrilling rig. It, too, was already inChile, but had previously onlybeen used for oil exploration.Another Canadian company,Precision Drilling Corporation, ranthe rig, brought to the mine in 40trucks and assembled on site.While it was able to drill a shaftwide enough for the escape cap-sule immediately rather than hav-ing to make a borehole and enlargeit, at one point the drill size had tobe reduced, causing a delay inoperations.
The Plan B team succeeded inreaching the miners first, and twoPennsylvania companies playedvital roles in the daunting rescuetask.
One of the supply boreholesdrilled by Geotec Boyles Bros S.A.on Aug. 27 became Plan B’sescape shaft. For the job, Geotecused a truck-mounted SchrammT685WS reverse circulation rigwith a 750 hp onboard 500 psi aircompressor. The job involvedenlarging the 5.5 in. diameter tun-nel to a 12-in. (30.5 cm) diameterand then to 28 in. (71 cm), using aSchramm T130XD self-propelledmobile drilling rig.
Special measures were neededin order to accomplish the task anddrilling tool manufacturer CenterRock Inc., of Berlin, Pa., designedand manufactured the two drill sys-tems involved.
“We contacted the Chilean gov-ernment when we heard about theaccident, quickly designed adrilling program using our equip-ment, and proposed it to the
Mining Ministry. Fortunately theyaccepted our proposal and it wasput into action as Plan B,” saidBrandon Fisher, president ofCenter Rock Inc.
The two companies cooperatedclosely during the drilling, withFisher in daily communicationfrom Chile with Greg Hillier, prod-uct manager of Schramm. RichardSoppe, Center Rock’s director ofconstruction and mining tools, alsowas in Chile. He and Fisher wereon site for 37 days, supervising theoperation and maintenance of the
Schramm drill, which was fittedfirst with a Center Rock 5.5 in. by12 in. (14 by 30.5 cm) DHDHammer drill bit, changing to a 12-in. by 28-in. (30.5 by 71 cm) LP bitas work progressed on enlargingthe borehole.
Schramm also worked with JimStefanic, Geotec’s mine site opera-tions manager, and sent its fieldservice engineer Jeff Roten toChile to ensure the T130XD drillperformed to its highest level inround-the-clock operations.
The 12-in. diameter boreholereached the miners on Sept. 18,after a delay due to severe damageto the drilling bit caused by a steelbolt in the mine roof at 879 ft. (268m). In addition to repairing the bit,the crew had to remove the boltand the broken bit, using makeshifttools created on site.
Drilling to enlarge the boreholecommenced on Sept. 19. By Sept.23, the drill was 364 ft. (110 m)down. Five days later, it hadreached 987 ft. (301 m), havingsafely passed through the areawhere it had encountered the bolt.By Oct. 4, the drill had reached1,532 ft. (467 m) and on Oct. 9,more than two months after the
collapse, drilling ended at a depthof 2,041 ft. (622 m).
Finally, on Oct. 13, the rescuecapsule, having passed its test runswith flying colors, began its firstjourney to the bottom of the rescueshaft. Painted white, red, and blue— the colors of Chile's flag — the13-ft. (4 m) long steel cage was thebiggest of three constructed byChilean Navy engineers. The cap-sules were named after thePhoenix, a legendary bird said torise again from its own funeralpyre.
While there was always the pos-sibility of disasters such as the cap-sule being trapped by rock fall inthe shaft, the main concern oncethe men began their journey tosafety was whether they couldcope with the extremely confinedspace in the capsule. With two-waycommunication and a camerabroadcasting from inside it, theplan was that should signs of panicappear, the speed of extractioncould be increased to as much as10 ft. (3 m) a second, but fortu-nately the entire operation was car-ried out without the need to do so.
Finally, about 10 minutes intoOct. 13, after a record 69 daysunderground, Florencio Avaloswas the first miner rescued. Hehugged his wife and son, and thenembraced Chilean PresidentSebastian Pinera, who was closelyinvolved in rescue efforts. Avalos’brother Renan was the 25th to berescued.
Mario Sepulveda emerged sec-ond. His natural ebullienceendeared him to many followingthe saga, and he did not so muchemerge from the capsule as eruptfrom it. After hugging his wife,President Pinera, and anyone else
within reach, he presented the pres-ident with a rock signed by all theminers.
The fourth man to appear wasCarlos Mamani, the only Bolivianin the group. He had emigratedfrom Bolivia with 10 siblings dueto lack of work. Other minersbrought up included OmarReygadas, who became a great-grandfather for he fourth timewhile underground, FranklinLobos, who played on Chile’s soc-cer team when it qualified for the1984 Los Angeles Olympics,Richard Villarroel, an expectantfather, Raul Bustos, a hydraulicsengineer who had been in chargeof the miners' water supply, andJose Henriquez, who organized aprayer group underground.
The last miner to come to thesurface was shift supervisor LuisUrzua, followed by several res-cuers who had descended into themine to help the men get into thecapsule. Initially it had beenthought the rescue would take untilChristmas to accomplish, but with-in 24 hours of breakthrough theseemingly impossible mission hadbeen completed at an estimatedcost of between $10 to $20 million.

Crews work on the shoulders on a 3.5 mi. (5.6 km) portion of westbound I-90 by Sturgis, S.D. New concrete was placed to a thicker depth of 11.5 in. (29.2 cm), versus theprevious 8 or 9 in. (20.3 or 22.8 cm) depth to handle greater weight limits and create a longer road life.
South Dakota’s I-90 Gets Needed Upgrades Near Exit 30The eight bridges needed more work than
mainline paving, added Tom Stalley, projectmanager in the heavy highway division ofHeavy Constructors Inc., of Rapid City,S.D., the prime contractor on the project.Four of the bridges received epoxy chip sealoverlays while the other four were toppedwith a concrete overlay.
The 3.5 mi. portion of Interstate 90 wasrestored by removing the surfacing andinstalling new concrete pavement to a thick-er depth of 11.5 in. (29.2 cm) which is thenew standard, Flottmeyer explained. Theexisting pavement had a depth of 8 or 9 in.(20.3 cm or 22.8 cm), Stalley said.
“The depth was beefed up to the 11.5inches because of a combination of soiltypes and truck traffic, which have greaterweight limits. The thicker concrete slab alsocreates a longer life cycle than the thinnerslabs,” said Stalley.
The paving portion ties in with two previ-ous projects, creating a completely new roadat Sturgis, Flottmeyer added.
Eastbound lanes were reconstructed dur-ing the first year of construction and west-bound lanes were reconstructed during2010.
During the 2009 work season crews also: • Constructed median crossovers and tem-
porary ramps at Exit 30 off and on ramps. • Constructed a new approach and sleeper
slabs, and applied an epoxy chip seal to theexisting bridge deck surface on the east-
bound structure at Bear Butte Creek.• Constructed new approach and sleeper
slabs and installed a nonmetallic fiber rein-forced concrete overlay on the bridge decksurface on the eastbound structure at Exit 30over Highway 14A.
• Constructed a new approach and sleeperslabs, repainted the bridge girders, andinstalled a low slump dense concrete overlayon the bridge deck surface at the eastboundstructure of the DM & E Railroad.
• Removed the existing rubberized asphaltchip seal from the bridge deck surface andapplied an epoxy chip seal on the eastboundstructure over the County Road.
• Constructed median crossovers andupgraded detour route surfacing in prepara-tion for the 2010 project work.
Very few materials needed to be hauledout of or onto the project site.
Stalley said that the subgrade preparationwas done by removing the existing concreteslab and salvaging that material for reuse.The exiting base was scarified and recom-pacted and topped with a new base and 11.5in. of concrete.
“The only materials brought in were con-crete paving and minor bits of base coursehere and there,” Stalley said. “We worked itout that once the existing concrete was offwe windrowed the gravel and did surfacework and brought the gravel back on top.”
Subgrade work was done on half the road-way at a time, and only about 1,000 ft.(304.8 m) of grading work was needed.
Flottmeyer added that the majority of theproject required no grading. The concreteand the granular material was removed andthe base surfacing was replaced.
Crews performed the subgrade prepara-tion using Cat 14 blades, scrapers for theborrow work, side dumps for hauling,Bidwell for the finishing work and Gomacopaving equipment.
Some borrow, about 7,800 sq. yds. (6,522sq m), was needed where the bridge waswidened, Flottmeyer said. About 109,000 sq.yds. (91,138 sq m) of mainline concrete wasneeded, along with 45,204 steel dowel barsto adjoin the pavement, creating 24 jointspacings, she added.
The South Dakota Department ofTransportation tried a different type of over-lay on Exit 30, using a fiber overlay on thosetwo bridges, Flottmeyer said. “This is some-thing we typically don’t see in this area butwe’re trying to determine if we can use thisprocess with the extreme freeze/thaw cyclesin South Dakota. Typically we use low-dense bridge overlay.”
The overlay is similar to what is typicallyused but in this case the ready mix plantadded fibers to improve the tensile proper-ties, which the Department of Transportationhopes will cause less cracking and a lessporous surface, she added. “We’re trying toprotect our bridge decks and extend theirservice life with an impermeable surface,which will protect the road surface fromroad salts and chemicals that are applied dur-
ing the winter season.”During 2010, the second year of the proj-
ect, crews:• Constructed a new approach and sleeper
slabs, and applied an epoxy chip seal to theexisting bridge deck surface on the west-bound structure at Bear Butte Creek.
• Widened the structure, constructed newapproach and sleeper slabs, and installed anonmetallic fiber reinforced concrete over-lay on the bridge deck surface at the west-bound structure at Exit 30 over Highway14A.
• Constructed new approach and sleeperslabs, repainted the bridge girders, andinstalled a low slump dense concrete overlayon the bridge deck surface at the westboundstructure of the DM & E Railroad.
• Removed the existing rubberized asphaltchip seal from the bridge deck surface andapplied an epoxy chip seal to the westboundstructure over the County Road.
• Removed median crossovers, permanentpavement markings, guardrails and signing.
The $11.6 million project proceeded rela-tively well with just a few issues. Traffic wasrouted head to head on either the westboundlane or the eastbound lane, depending onwhich half of the project was being con-structed, Stalley said, so there was no trafficto contend with.
However, detours caused some confusionfor motorists.

In six months, the Ohio Department of Transportation(ODOT) has completed two American Recovery andReinvestment Act (ARRA) funded bridge rehabilitationprojects that were on nine-month completion schedules.Both are in Wayne county in north central Ohio.
ODOT maintains an aggressive bridge inspection sched-ule and places projects on the board to correct deficienciesand structural obsolescence in a timely manner. One project— the S.R. 301 Bridge Rehabilitation Project — was alsochosen using the Community Economic Distress Factor.Wayne County’s unemployment rate was 5.26 percent, withan average income of $28,020.
The cost of the two projects was $3,050,326. Federal stim-ulus investment covered $2,845,390. Both bridges wereopened to traffic ahead of schedule.
The projects were scheduled to run concurrently, eachwith a 135-day detour, beginning in late April and early May.
“Prior to the stimulus, our intent was to have one done oneyear and then the other done the next with alternatingdetours,” said ODOT District 3 Highway ManagementAdministrator Tim Farley before construction began. “Butsince we moved them forward to get them built this year,we’re going to have a detour that's neither of these.”
Farley said the projects were included in this year’s planbecause they were “shovel ready,” which has a direct bear-ing on which projects are chosen for funding under ARRA.Engineering designs for both projects were completed someyears ago.
“There’s a very small window to get these projects pro-grammed and in the pipeline. We have the discretion ofchoosing which projects to go with, and these two happen tobe projects that were sitting on our shelves. They were goodprojects that we could get down to Columbus to sell,” saidFarley.
Material availability was the reason cited for the nine-month project duration. Bridge beams had to be fabricatedfor both projects.
“Creating construction jobs is an important part of theStimulus Program,” said ODOT District 3 Deputy DirectorJohn Hart. “Rebuilding the state’s infrastructure for currentand future economic growth opportunities is also importantfor Ohio. I-71 is the state’s third most-used freight corridor,so we need to maintain these bridges and interchanges alongthe corridor to support commerce throughout the region.”
Critical to nearby businesses in West Salem and thosecommunities along the U.S. 42 corridor in Ashland, Medina,Lorain, and Wayne counties, the S.R. 301 bridge over I-71connects rail and inter-modal transportation of goods andmaterials to and from Columbus and southern Ohio. Totalproject cost was estimated to be $1,592,026, of which
$1,519,660 was funded by ARRA. S.R. 301 is a north–south state highway beginning at S.R.
302 at West Salem and ending at U.S. 6 in the town ofSheffield Lake.
The S.R. 301 Bridge Rehabilitation Project (5690) wasdesigned to correct deficiencies found in the 302-ft. (92 m)three-span bridge that crosses over six lanes of I-71. Thebridge deck is 9,289 sq. ft. (7,766.7 sq m) The newly reha-bilitated bridge opened to traffic on Sept. 14.
The contract was awarded in July 2009 to contractorTerrace Construction Co. Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio, and wascompleted Oct 15.
Also in Wayne County, and a short distance from the S.R.301 project, is the S.R. 539 Bridge Deck Replacement (PID18242) project. This project was selected for ARRA fundingbecause of it’s economic development opportunities toAshland, Medina and Wayne counties and its proximity to“both major north/south routes and east/west corridors inOhio,” according to ODOT district 3 public information offi-

‘Buckeye State’ Highway Lettings
Two ARRAProjects Reach Conclusion Within Six Months
cer Brian Stacy.S.R. 539 is a short north–south highway which begins at
S.R. 302 south of Congress and ends at S.R. 301 in WestSalem.
The S.R. 539 bridge required rehabilitation of 282 ft. (86m) of decking, located between Ruff Road and Palmer Road.
The contractor is Wolf Creek Engineering & Contractingof Akron, Ohio. Total project cost was $1,458,300, with fed-eral stimulus funding of $1,325,730. The contract was soldin August 2009 and was completed in October.
The right lanes of I-71, both north and southboundbetween mile markers 196 and 199, closed for work as partof the State Route 301 and State Route 539 bridge rehabili-tation projects. Two lanes of traffic were maintained at alltimes in each direction. The posted detour route for bothprojects included taking S.R 604 to U.S. 42.
Average daily traffic (ADT) counts on I-71 in the proxim-ity of these two projects is 44,470. Approximately 1,590vehicles per day use the S.R. 539 bridge.
These two projects are among 33 ARRA projects ODOTdistrict 3 will complete in north central Ohio for a total esti-mated cost of $55 million.
“The program this year is about as ambitious as it’s everbeen,” said Farley at the April kickoff event hosted byODOT.

Multiple Projects Update,Upgrade South Dakota’s I-90trol scheme is there is a rail road on the eastside of the Exit 30 bridge and so during theconstruction different access points wereused for the ramps, which was a little con-fusing for local traffic,” Flottmeyer said.“During the first phase of construction, traf-fic had to be routed down a service road tothe Interstate, which is 1,200 feet past wheretraffic would normally enter the Interstate.”
During the second phase of construction,traffic was routed beyond the Exit 30 on-ramp to access another service road west ofSturgis; this caused a lot of people, while try-ing to figure out the detour, to make u-turnson the Interstate, Flottmeyer added.
Before bid letting took place the detourroute was proposed to take the detour to theWhitewood, S.D., Exit 23, creating a 14 mi.detour route.
This was a challenge for local businesses,Flottmeyer said, “So we took a second lookat the detour before letting the project. Wethink everyone was pretty pleased with thechange. We tried to work with local busi-nesses to minimize delays. Some deliverybusinesses are time sensitive and to add 10or 15 minutes to their route makes a big dif-ference.”
At the westbound off ramp the detourcaused considerably more traffic than theservice road would normally see and so
crews placed four inches of asphalt and apetro mat to handle the traffic load.
Flottmeyer explained that the countymaintains that road and the original plan wasto do a mill and overlay but when they start-ed the milling they discovered, as they weretrying to mill off one inch, the remaininginch was deteriorating.
So, crews installed a petro mat, which is ageotex-style material that is placed on theexisting surface and an overlay is placed ontop of the geotex.
“The geotex will bridge over any basematerial,” she said.
The project was completed on time, justbefore the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally thatdraws over 500,000 motorcycles to theBlack Hills each year during August. Theinterstate was opened to four-lane trafficbefore the Rally and after the Rally crewsremoved crossovers and signing and com-pleted punch list items into the fall.
The tight scheduling to meet completiondates presented one of the few challenges ofthe project, Stalley said.
On an Interstate project and working tomeet completion dates before the Rallybegins require that crews work six days aweek.
“With Rally constraints we had planned towork six days a week from the beginning,”he said. CEG
Crews place rebar in preparation of concrete pouring on the Interstate 90 Exit 30bridge deck at Sturgis, S.D. The bridge was widened to create a safer driving situa-tion.

Eaton Corporation will begin offering retrofit versions ofits Hydraulic Launch Assist — HLA hybrid power systemfor refuse trucks later this year. The Refuse Retrofit Programwill be offered through select qualified partners andinstallers. Eaton is currently seeking partners for the pro-gram.
“By retrofitting existing trucks, Eaton is giving our cus-tomers a best-of-both-worlds scenario,” said Seth Deutsch,manager — Hybrid Market Planning. “Until now, our refusemarket customers in North America have been frustrated intheir efforts to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissionsin fleets of newer trucks with many years of service left inthem. They have been asking for a hybrid solution that doesnot require the purchase of a new truck, and we’re pleased todeliver the retrofit option.”
The Eaton Hydraulic Launch Assist (HLA) system is aparallel hybrid system, in which the conventional powertrainis supplemented by the addition of the hydraulic system thatpropels the truck forward and helps slow it down. The sys-tem is best suited for vehicles that operate in stop and go dutycycles such as refuse trucks. Benefits of the system include
20 to 30 percent improvement in fuel economy, longer brakelife, and increased productivity due to the extra power theHLA system provides.
Eaton hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric and twohybrid hydraulic powersystems, parallel andseries, are available orin development ontruck models includingInternational, Peterbilt,Kenworth, Freightliner,Iveco, DAF, Daimler,and Ford and on busmodels from Foton,Zhongtong, Yutong,JNP, King Long, ShenLong, Heng Tong, BCIand Solaris.
Eaton hybrid powersystems have accumu-lated more than 30 mil-
lion miles of road-tested service around the world.Companies such as FedEx, UPS, Coca-Cola Enterprises,
PepsiCo and Wal-Mart are using delivery vehicles with theEaton system. Work trucks with Eaton hybrid power also are
in service at FloridaPower and Light andmany utility and tele-com companies acrossNorth America. Benefitsof the existing Eatonhybrid systems includefuel savings up to 35percent, with similarpercentages in emissionreductions, extendedbrake life and idle timereductions of up to 87percent during work siteoperations.

General Grabs theConstruction MarketWith Wide Base
General Truck Tires has introduced its first all-positionwide base tire for NAFTA, the Grabber OA wide base insize 445/65R22.5.
Fleets operating in severe service and constructionapplications, such as fire service, waste hauling and con-crete mixing, need confidence that their tires can handleheavy loads and stand up to off-road conditions. TheGrabber OA(off road, all position) wide base, designedfor super single fitment for steer and trailer positions,addresses these needs with a high carrying capacityand reinforced shoulder to add protection againstcurbing and abrasions, according to the manufacturer.
The tire’s 21/32nds of tread depth, coupled with acut- and chip-resistant tread compound, also assuresthese demanding customers that they can depend onthis tire for long lifetimes, said Clif Armstrong, direc-tor of marketing of truck tires.
“The Grabber OA draws on nearly a century oftough General tire heritage to bring advanced durabili-ty to our on/off road customers,” said Armstrong.“Now by adding wide base sizes to our product portfo-lio, these drivers can depend on the Grabber OA widebase to handle even higher payloads and help them oper-ate quickly and efficiently in severe conditions.”
The Grabber OA wide base carries up to 12,800 lbs.(5,806 kg) in a super single fitment. The deep grooves inthe tread elements and an aggressive pattern help improvetraction on soft soil and muddy roadways.
The thick undertread also resists casing penetrations fromstones and other debris often found in off-road applications,allowing for multiple retreads, according to the manufacturer.
While the 445/65R22.5 size will be available for orders inNovember, additional sizes (385/65R22.5 and 425/65R22.5) arescheduled for introduction in 2011.

Navistar, a market leader in theNorth American severe service andmedium duty segments, is a naturalfit with the rugged durability ofContinental’s on/off highway andconstruction truck tires, said TomFanning, director of original equip-ment sales for Continental — TheAmericas.
“International truck customerscount on their vehicles to provideheavy duty performance and max-imum uptime, even in the mostdemanding conditions. Now theycan rely upon their Continentaltruck tires to work in tandem withthese powerful vehicles, providingthe top-level reliability and highmileage that can only come from atire engineered to handle thetoughest driving conditions,”Fanning said.
Continental’s expansion into theregional, on/off highway and con-struction segment is backed up bytruck tires engineered with maxi-mum resistance to damage, tread
patterns designed for optimumtraction, extra tough compoundingand stone ejection systems.
“All of these factors provideexcellent durability and long origi-nal mileage that complement thework site-readiness ofInternational brand severe servicevehicles. Drivers of InternationalPayStar, WorkStar, and DuraStartrucks will now be able to dependon Continental tires to keep themmoving safely, even in unpre-dictable road conditions,” Fanningsaid.
“The severe-duty cycle ofInternational WorkStar and
PayStar trucks required a tire selec-tion that can perform under theseconditions, and Continental trucktires have the intelligent engineer-ing and durability required,” saidMelissa Gauger, vocational mar-keting manager for Navistar.
“International trucks can tacklesome of the most severe conditionson earth and routinely come backfor more. With our MaxxForce bigbore engines and heavy duty chas-sis features, we needed to selectoriginal equipment tires that wereequal in capability and strength tothe components of the truck itself.
“This is why Continental truck
tires are the new standard for oursevere service and medium dutyvehicles. We have confidence thatour customers will be just as satis-fied with their Continental tires asthey are with the power and relia-bility of their new Internationaltruck,” Gauger said.
With the Navistar fitment,Continental is expanding its foot-print into the severe service andmedium duty vehicle segments tohighlight its tire products that areengineered for maximum durabili-ty.

cy. “People now tend to see any project as a waste of money,and that’s just wrong.”
“I call it the Bridge to Nowhere syndrome,” he added.“High-profile projects get publicized and they become asymbol for any infrastructure project that’s out there, andeven the ones that are justified get tarnished by the samecharge.”
The so-called Bridge to Nowhere would have cost hun-dreds of millions of dollars to connect one Alaskan town toan island of 50 residents. It figured in the 2008 presidentialelection when then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was criticizedfor initially backing the plan, which was eventuallyscrapped.
The other cautionary tale is Boston’s Big Dig, the high-way and tunnel project that was originally envisioned at lessthan $3 billion and wound up costing nearly $15 billion.
The Big Dig has made it far easier for motorists to get toand from Boston’s airport, and it eliminated a noisy andunsightly elevated highway that cast a shadow over somehistoric neighborhoods. But construction was plagued byyears of delays, corruption and shoddy workmanship thatresulted in the death of a motorist in a ceiling collapse.
Other countries are spending heavily on job-creatinginfrastructure. Projects include Algeria’s $11.2 billion east-west highway; a planned $10 billion bridge linking theIndonesian islands of Java and Sumatra; and China’s $60 bil-lion Yangtze River diversion project.
Australia plans to spend $38 billion to relieve traffic con-gestion in Melbourne, while Britain is preparing for a $45billion high-speed rail link between London and the WestMidlands. Japan is building a $70 billion highway fromTokyo to Osaka, scheduled for completion in 2020.
A report this month by the U.S. Treasury Department andthe Council of Economic Advisers paints a picture of a coun-try dissatisfied with the state of America’s aging infrastruc-ture and in favor of improvements, but not necessarily eagerto commit the dollars to fix it.
Infrastructure spending in the United States stands at 2percent of the country’s gross domestic product — half whatit was in 1960 — compared with approximately 9 percent inChina and 5 percent for Europe, according to the govern-ment report.
“During recessions it is common for state and local gov-ernments to cut back on capital projects — such as buildingschools, roads and parks — in order to meet balanced budg-et requirements,” the report concluded. “However, the needfor improved and expanded infrastructure is just as great dur-ing a downturn as it is during a boom.”
The American Society of Civil Engineers calculated thatthe United States would need to spend an additional $1.1 tril-lion over the next five years to restore roads, bridges, dams,levees and other infrastructure to good condition. In its latestreport card, the engineering society gave the nation’s publicworks a “D” grade.
“Somehow we believe if we ignore it, it will go away,”said Blaine Leonard, the society’s president. “And it won’t.We have to stop hitting the snooze button on this problem.”
He said now is a good time to spend money on infra-structure because construction companies in this weak econ-omy are hungry for work and the costs are relatively low asa result.
Major infrastructure projects of the past benefited fromstrong leadership, notably the interstate highway systempushed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s, hesaid. Today, though, “there isn’t any high-level leadershipabout infrastructure,” so there’s no agreement about priori-ties, Leonard said.
CG/LA Infrastructure LLC, a Washington consultingfirm, recently put together a list of the worthiest 100 large
infrastructure projects in North America, totaling about $400billion. Among the suggestions: a next-generation air trafficcontrol system; high-speed rail linking Minneapolis,Milwaukee and Chicago; a pair of highway projects inTexas; and the tunnel that New Jersey’s governor has threat-ened to scuttle.
To be sure, there are large-scale projects under way,notably in California, where a combination of federal dollarsand voter-approved bonds and local tax increases are fund-ing improvements, from highway widening to the $6.2 bil-lion renovation of the Bay Bridge between San Franciscoand Oakland. And recently, Arizona and Nevada hailed theopening of a $240 million bridge that bypasses Hoover Dam.
However, many projects recently completed or in thepipeline secured funding before the economy went into aslide. Some of them might not be approved today.
In New Jersey, construction on a rail tunnel connectingNew Jersey and New York City — the largest transportationproject under way in the United States — began in 2009under then-Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat. It is projected todouble train capacity at peak times as well as provide 6,000construction jobs immediately and up to 40,000 jobs after itscompletion in 2018. About $6 billion of the cost is beingcovered by the federal government and the Port Authority ofNew York and New Jersey.
In early October, Republican Gov. Chris Christieannounced he was pulling the plug because the cost hadescalated from $5 billion in 2005 to more than $9 billion bythe federal government’s estimate, and as much as $14 bil-lion by Christie’s reckoning.
“I simply cannot put the taxpayers of the state of NewJersey on what would be a never-ending hook,” he said.
Christie later agreed to reconsider. In Hawaii, Republican Gov. Linda Lingle announced
recently that she wouldn’t sign off on a federally subsidizedrail line until an updated economic study is conducted. Andthat may not be completed before she leaves office in lessthan two months. That means the project’s fate could be inher successor’s hands.
In Seattle, new Mayor Mike McGinn is threatening tohold up construction of a massive highway tunnel to replacethe waterfront’s dilapidated, earthquake-damaged AlaskanWay Viaduct because he fears city taxpayers will be on thehook if costs spiral beyond the $4.2 billion price tag.
“The issue of the overall cost of the tunnel has been a con-cern to voters since before the recession, and I think theseverity of the state’s and the city’s fiscal situation is causingpeople to take a harder look at ... an expensive and risky proj-ect,” McGinn said.
In Wisconsin, Ohio and California, Republican candidatesfor governor have vowed they won’t endorse high-speed railprojects, despite the promise of billions of dollars fromWashington.
In the United States, it often takes a catastrophe to giveinfrastructure improvements more urgency. TheMinneapolis bridge collapse in 2007 that killed 13 peopleprompted reviews of aging bridges around the country.
“Unfortunately, our attention span is short,” Leonard said.“You would think the Minneapolis bridge collapse wouldhave sent repercussions throughout the system that wouldhave resulted in a transportation funding bill, but it didn’t.Even bridge funding bills didn’t get through Congress.”
Consultant Norman Anderson of CG/LA Infrastructuresaid the federal government’s recent emphasis on smaller,“shovel-ready” projects to stimulate the economy is mis-guided and shows a lack of vision.
“You don’t do ‘shovel-ready.’That is idiotic and extreme-ly uninformed,” he said in an e-mail. “You do projects nowbecause they produce value for an economy 20 to 30 yearsinto the future, as well as producing immediate jobs.”

Powerscreen Pegson XA750 Stays Large Scale User FriendlyPowerscreen, a provider of mobile crush-
ing, screening and washing equipment, haslaunched the Powerscreen Pegson XA750,offering customers greater jaw crushing pro-ductivity at up to 827 tph (750 t).
Pat Brian, Powerscreen global sales andmarketing director said “The Pegson XA750has been designed to ensure that large scaleend users and operators experienceunmatched performance, reliability and pro-ductivity in the toughest of applications.”
The Pegson XA750 is fitted with ahydraulically driven pan feeder and live pre-screening unit, complete with a bolt-in car-tridge style grizzly section, to remove finesand sizes prior to crushing, avoiding packingand unnecessary manganese wear. Pre-screened material can be stockpiled via anoptional dirt conveyor, or re-directed via theby-pass chute onto the main product con-veyor.
An unrestricted feed opening of 55 by 32in. (140 by 81 cm) prevents bridging andmaintains a consistent feed to the powerfulTerex WJ55 single toggle jaw crusher,which features a hydraulic closed side set-ting (CSS) adjustment system that can bechanged at the touch of a button for maxi-mum control of product sizing.
Powering the Pegson XA750 is the latestgeneration 389 hp (288 kW) diesel engine,which uses a direct drive system to achieveenhanced power transmission and fuel effi-ciency versus hydrostatic systems. Enginepower is transmitted to the crusher via arobust, self adjusting dry plate clutch withself regulation “push button” auto start up
sequence and v-belt drive. User benefits include a hydraulically
adjustable product conveyor with a 13 ft. 1in. (4 m) discharge height, a modular hopperthat can be removed for transport and twospeed tracks for maximum site mobility. Theproduct conveyor can be raised and loweredhydraulically during operation and for trans-
port and maintenance purposes.Maintenance downtime is reduced due to ahydraulic draw back rod retention systemand under crusher access. The plant weighs159,000 lbs. (72,000 kg), including magnetand dirt conveyor.
