When Timothy Konowitz was a kid, his hands wereattached to Tonka trucks. The sandbox was his oasis to shift,dig through, pile up and haul away.Not much has changed. Konowitz, owner of Miles of

Excavating in Wrentham, Mass., is living his childhooddream. The world, and his business, is moving other people’sdirt.“As a kid, I was always playing with Tonka Trucks. I

always shoveled people’s walkways to get extra money. Insixth grade, I bought a 1969 Cub Cadet Lawn Tractor. It wasused and I used it more. I cut neighbors’ lawns, cut every-one’s grass. I bought a little trailer for it and started fixinglawns.”By high school, Konowitz recognized his life’s ambition

and laid plans to achieve it.“Back when I was just out of high school, I knew what I

wanted to do. I worked for a couple of [local contracting]companies. In 1990, I started by splitting wood and selling

firewood, until I could afford to buy my first dump truck in1996,” said Konowitz. “I had a full-time job, and would run the truck on the

weekends and do deliveries. Soon, my boss said, ‘You’reready to be on your own.’ I kept saving and saving and sav-ing, and took a loan in 1995 and bought a rubber-tired back-hoe from Caterpillar, a John Deere 410. It was used,” headded. “Used,” as in built a few years before, and “used” asin worked out heavily.The dump truck also was very expensive for a young man

just starting out. “It took every bit of money that I possessed to buy that

thing. I had a note on it for $12,000 and I went on my ownto pay it,” said Konowitz.

From a Few Feet to “Miles”The one-man, one-truck operation became Miles of

Excavating in 1996. Two years later, in 1998, his brotherCorey came aboard, along with a good friend. Several labor-ers for bigger jobs were added, but never more than a

five-man crew. Konowitz’s popular company just celebrated 15 years of

continual growth and many additional services. He started with just one hole. “The first job I ever did was

digging around a building in Plainville [Mass.], so they couldmove the building down the street about two miles. I dug thefoundation, so they could put the beams under it.”Within weeks, he added, Miles of Excavating “just took

off. I started doing septic systems and I haven’t looked backsince. I just keep going forward.”

Headquartered at 242 Park St., Wrentham, Mass., Miles ofExcavating is a year-round service company. Alongside Tim,brother Corey Konowitz is superintendent and RobertShufelt is director of transportation.

900 Septic Systems, 200 Water LinesThe company has installed more than 900 septic systems,

installed and/or repaired more than 200 water lines and per-formed excavation site work on more than 1,000 residentialand business properties in 15 years. Additional services include septic system inspections,

septic maintenance, Title 5 inspections, sewer connections,water lines, road construction, grading, additions, demoli-tion, foundations, tree stump removal — and a New Englandwinter staple — snow removal.Miles of Excavating also offers screener rental, loam and

gravel sales, one-ton dump and 10-wheeler truck rental andmachine rental with expert operator.Konowitz and his crew always offer free estimates, 100

percent customer satisfaction and same-day emergency serv-ice. They also invite custom jobs and will do those jobs asrequested, specifically to meet the client’s needs.“We just started doing commercial work two years ago.

We are [doing] one right now. It’s huge. We are digging theparking lot, and demolished the building for Hollingsworthand Vose [a well-known engineered paper and interwovenmaterials company founded in 1843], on their site,” saidKonowitz. The job is under general contractor MajesticConstruction, out of North Attleboro, Mass.The crew also is starting a new project at the Dedham

Plaza, providing lot excavation and site work for a new bankgoing up in Dedham, Mass.“You should see the amount of work we have done this

week [Oct. 17]. Just today, we demolished that building andhauled out 155 cubic yards of asphalt and 100 cubic yards ofconcrete in one day with two trucks,” said the tired owner,who, if lucky, will get to shower after 8 p.m.Twelve-to-16-hour days are typical for him and his crew. “We do a lot of emergency water work. That’s just broken

pipes. Last week, we did eight leaks and the average dayended at 9:30 at night, from 6 in the morning,” added theworking owner, who is now 38.

Establishing “Miles”The popular name of his company is a play on words,

beyond mere “mileage.”“My brother-in-law came up with it. ‘Miles’ is my middle

name,” said Tim Konowitz. “I remember I had been in busi-ness just two or three weeks, and he said, ‘You need a bankaccount. You need a company name. What do you thinkabout ‘Miles of Excavating?’ I said, ‘Wow, that’s catchy.That’s got a nice ring to it.’ And off we went.”Konowitz said it is his tireless service and word-of-mouth

that keeps his small business hopping, summer through win-ter, with very few, if any, breaks.“What sets us apart is our service and the quality of work

PRECISIONSelf-Leveling Shoes

Make life easier for the operator. Because theshoes level themselves, he can simply ‘drop and

go’ without worrying about keeping the boxexactly level. This prevents premature wearingof the shoe. They also absorb impacts much

more easily than fixed shoes.

Sectional Steel Trip EdgeThe cutting blade trips in 2’ independent sec-

tions, which keeps more of the blade in contactwith the snow if an obstacle is hit.

STRENGTHBraced Side Panels

A plow that is not adequately braced will quicklyfail when driven into a snowbank or curb. The

400 stands up to those inevitable hits.Torsion Spring Trip Mechanism

Rugged torsion springs on the STE model pro-vide exceptional stiffness for attacking even

hard-packed snow while riding back fully oversolid obstacles.

High Density RubberRubber Edge models feature blades crafted

from the toughest compound in the industry.

Company Philosophy Includes ‘Treating Every Job Like It’s Our Own Property’ we do. My brother Corey, RobertShufelt, we all treat every job like it’sour own property,” he said. Sometimes, the work involves

extraordinary care and precise touch,using all of their skill and experience,in difficult circumstances.“We did a septic system once that

was 30 feet down over an embank-ment. We had to rent a long-reach exca-vator to do the digging and the machinestayed on a two-lane highway, Route140 in Wrentham, traffic going by,while we did the work. No other con-tractor would even look at the job.”If, on the surface, his team doesn’t

know how to approach a problem, theydisassemble it, examine the variousparts, and put a plan together, like thepieces.“I’ll book a job, and my guys will

say, ‘I don’t know how we are going toget it done.’ When we don’t knowsomething, we take it like a puzzle, onepiece at a time, until it’s done. I tellthem, ‘It’s a jigsaw and we do it, piece

by piece.’ ”

Digging for GoldSpeaking of missing pieces, when

you dig for 15 years, you are bound tofind something you hadn’t expected inthe dirt.“We were working at the Dwight

Derby House in Medfield, [Mass.],which is the oldest house in Medfield.There were archaeologists siftingthrough the dirt we were digging, sort-ing through every ounce we dug out ofthe hole, and they found a gold cointhat was worth $180,000. That had tobe 10 years ago, now.”Did they share any of that with their

“Miles?” “Um, no, they didn’t,” Konowitz

laughed. “You’d think I’d find some-thing,” he laughed again. “Heck, all thedigging we’ve done. I was diggingonce in the Cemetery in Norfolk and Ididn’t even find any bones.”Konowitz is grateful for his cus-

tomers and for plowing through toughtimes like these. He credits his team.

“They are the best guys. I cannot askfor anyone better. I have the best guysfor the work that we do. Without them,we’d be nothing,” he said.Like adjusting for site depth and vol-

ume, you also have to shift gears witheconomics, when people cannot pay asmuch for jobs they desperately need,especially septic work or water emer-gencies.“You have to adjust prices in tough

times, and, basically, you don’t makenearly the same money you used tomake during them,” said Konowitz.“Fuel costs are up, materials are up. It’stough. We keep working because ofreputation, not necessarily [because of]repeat loyal customers. I mean, if I do aseptic system, I may not see them againfor 20, 25 years.”For more information, visit

I-95 Bridge Project DelayedOver Problem With SupportsPROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) A Rhode

Island transportation official on Jan. 10 saidmisaligned vertical supports discovered onthe Pawtucket River Bridge that’s under con-struction are not a “big disruption” and that afix should be completed quickly.Department of Transportation Deputy

Chief Engineer Frank Corrao said steel sup-ports were being fabricated to correct mis-aligned supports that were found by statesurveyors before Christmas. The steel sup-ports were expected to be made and installedby mid January, Corrao said. The contractor has begun dismantling

portions of the bridge that runs overInterstate 95. In the worst case, a support wasfound to be 3 in. (7.6 cm) off its mark. Thereare 15 vertical supports on the 351-ft. (107m) bridge that will serve as a service road foron-and-off ramps, said DOT spokesmanCharles St. Martin III. He said it’s not knownhow many vertical supports need realign-

ment. The supports connect the arch of the

bridge to the surface where vehicles willtravel. The contractor will pay for the fix, Corrao

said. The work is being done by S&R Corp.,of Lowell, Mass. and Pihl, Inc., ofCopenhagen, Denmark. The $81 millionproject began in November 2010. Federalauthorities are paying for 80 percent of theconstruction costs, St. Martin said. Thomas Bentsen, an executive vice presi-

dent at Pihl, said the contractor is investigat-ing how the problem developed. He also saidit’s unknown whether the planned fix willresolve the entire problem. The bridge was to open to traffic this

spring. But the project fell behind scheduleeven before state inspectors found the align-ment problem. Trucks should still be able toresume using the bridge by the end of theyear, Corrao said.

$12.8M Expansion Project forNewport State Airport PlannedCOVENTRY, Vt. (AP) Construction on a

new terminal building at the Newport StateAirport could begin as early as this summer,a big step in a $12.8 million expansion proj-ect designed to boost the area’s economy,officials said Monday. The plan also calls for adding 1,000 ft.

(305 m) to the existing 4,000-ft. (1,219 m)runway, improving water and sewer servicesand the access road, and adding servicesfrom Customs and Border Protection and theTransportation Security Agency, whichwould turn the facility into an internationalairport. “This 9-year project has put a focus on uti-

lizing our existing airports to mark Vermontnot only a destination for vacationers, butalso a viable economic force in the Northeastregion,” said Guy Rouelle, aviation directorof the Vermont Transportation Agency.“With new industry co-locating at the air-

port, freight service and charter passengerservice, we feel this will have a positive eco-nomic impact to the region.” The expansion of the airport, located in

Coventry just 15 mi. south of the Canadianborder, follows a business expansion of thenearby Jay Peak ski area and other growingbusinesses. The $2.1 million terminal expansion is

being funded with private money. The runway extension is expected to take

place in 2014, and a taxiway also will beconstructed. The longer runway will make itpossible for the airport to handle largerplanes with more passengers. If Customs and Border Protection makes

the airport a port of entry, planes would beable to fly directly to Newport from othercountries, a boost for many internationalbusinesses and tourist destinations in thearea.
