Hundreds of visitors had gathered to celebrate the sur- prise victory of one of their own in the hotly contested 2011 Caterpillar “Win a Cat Truck” contest. Aboard a decorated, water-gun saluted barge (courtesy of the Portland Fire Department), the grand prize, a brand new Cat CT660 vocational truck, arrived in Peaks June 13. There were cheers at the LPA Marine landing when it slowly rolled down the ramps and set wheel ashore. According to Caterpillar sources, the contest had been open and the public was asked to help choose the best, most deserving business case among more than 300 entries explaining why and how each company would put the new Cat truck to work. When results were tallied, from a grand total of 50,000 votes, 3,000 were from customers, friends and fans of local company LPA Marine, making it a clear winner. “We were very excited when we heard the news because for us it has a lot of mean- ing,” commented Chris Milton, president of Northeast Caterpillar dealer Milton CAT. “LPA repre- sents the type of business that’s at the core of our regional economy; family- owned companies that build their reputation one day at a time, one job at a time, deliv- ering their very best to their customers through thick and thin; every single member of my team is proud to play a role supporting them.” More than 50 employees from the Milton CAT Scarborough, Maine, loca- tion accompanied the truck on the barge when it crossed the bay to its new owner. Handing the keys to the truck to LPA’s Vice President Coley Mulkern, George Taylor, director of Caterpillar’s global on-high- way truck group reminded the enthusiastic audience that the contest had been a tough one. “The large number of entries made it very compet- itive, but in addition, the level was impressive, detail- ing business operation, chal- lenges, goals and plans; definitely not an easy win.” According to Taylor, Mulkern’ s explanation of the chal- lenges faced by his family’s island transport and construction business painted a complex picture where reliability was key. All materials used on the islands — drainage stone, seawall rip-rap, road gravel, winter sand and salt, waste-water drainage sand, topsoil, and landscaping material — need to be imported from the mainland. “The Mulkerns reminded us that a truck needs to be tough Maine’s LPA Marine Takes Delivery of ‘Win a Cat Truck’ Contest Grand Prize THE NEW ENGLAND EDITION A Supplement to: Your New england States Connection • rachel Slavid 1-800-225-8448 • kent Hogeboom 1-800-988-1203 “The Nation’s Best Read Construction Newspaper… Founded in 1957.” 1 1 1 11 2 16 201 3 9 1 95 95 495 95 9 16 3 26 2 202 89 93 93 95 2 7 4 7 2 89 89 91 91 3 7 2 2 6 90 90 495 95 93 195 95 6 95 7 6 395 95 84 91 91 84 95 e q u I P M e N t g u I d e FormErly July 4, 2012 Vol. XlIX • No. 14 ® Coley Mulkern (C) of LPA Marine shows off the keys to LPA’s new truck presented to him by George Taylor of Caterpillar.

Vt.’s Checkered House Bridge to Be Widened for TrafficBy Wilson RingASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Vt. (AP) After more than a year of plan-ning using computers, laser levels and measuring devicesaccurate to a fraction of a millimeter, it took engineers withtape measures and construction workers with sledgeham-mers to finally bring the 83-year-old Checkered HouseBridge into the 21st century. On June 18, workers cut the historic 350-ft. (106 m) U.S.
Route 2 bridge in two lengthwise by unbolting the bracesholding the trusses together and began the process of push-ing the sides apart to widen the span by 12-1/2 ft. (3.8 m). As far as anyone involved in the project has been able to
determine, it’s the first time such a technique has been triedon such a large bridge. Officials say the wider bridge is need-ed to accommodate modern traffic that frequently includesbicyclists, pedestrians and farm equipment. The span isscheduled to reopen a year from now. Despite the preparations, the hardest push was the first.
After workers moved one 300,000-lb. (136,078 kg) trussabout 2 in. (5 cm) downstream on the Winooski River, crewsspent hours trying to free a single spot at the base of thebridge where, despite the specialized rollers it was laid onand pressure from hydraulic jacks, it remained stuck. “I’m really not surprised. It’s such a large structure and
such an old structure that there have to be points, frictionpoints, that it hangs up on,” said Dale Gozalkowski, of theAlbany, N.Y.-based engineer firm Clough Harbour &Associates, who helped design the project and watched June
18 as it was put into action. The original 350-ft. Pennsylvania truss bridge was built in
1929, two years after an epic flood washed out a coveredbridge in the same spot. The bridges are marked by the criss-crossing I-beams that form a latticework, creating a steelcanopy above the road surface. Vermont Transportation Agency officials have known for
decades that the aging bridge about 10 mi. east of Burlingtonneeded to be upgraded or replaced. The travel surface was 20ft. (6.1 m) wide, barely wide enough for two vehicles to passeach other, and the aging steel and the road surface was dete-riorating. For years, Vermont officials debated the best course of
action. They considered tearing it down and building a newone, leaving it alone or turning it into a one-lane bridge andbuilding another alongside it. But the bridge is the last of itskind in Vermont on a major roadway and, as such, is histor-ically significant, said Scott Newman, the historic preserva-tion officer of the Vermont Agency of Transportation. The total project cost for the bridge and the approaches on
both sides is about $16 million. A new open bridge couldhave been built for about $7 million. But the federal lawrequired that the historic bridge be preserved, if possible,Newman said. “Folks are always looking at the bottom line and I don’t
blame them. We are very conscious of the bottom line,”Newman said. “These are truly unique circumstances whereyou have a big structure that is highly significant where weneed to be in compliance with federal regulations.” But Vermont Transportation Secretary Brian Searles said
June 18 that the price comparison didn’t take into accountthe design-build system used for the Checkered HouseBridge. “One cannot discount the engineering significance of
what is being accomplished this week in Richmond,” Searlessaid. “It is a truly innovative undertaking that will preservewhat is believed to be a valuable historic resource.” Once the decision to preserve the bridge was made, it
became an engineering challenge. “This is not something you see in a textbook every day,”
Jerry Pfunter, of the Tallahassee, Fla.,-based FinleyEngineering Group, which was contracted for the actualwidening of the bridge. “Typically, we start with a cleanslate; we’ve got new members; we can build the traditionalconnections. Here we have a situation where we are partial-ly taking apart connections.” After the two sides were separated, workers used tape
measures to note the progress. At several points on the bridge, the workers reported by
radio the progress of the separation in inches and fractions ofinches. On one end of the bridge, an old-fashioned 4-ft. levelwas clamped onto the side of the bridge to provide an instantreadout of whether the bridge truss was perfectly vertical. Later, the truss had gotten stuck a second time, although
the truss was completely separated, and it appeared doubtfulthat crews would be able to make the push in one day.

enough to carry those heavy loads, and also able to negotiatethe rough landings, steep angles and rugged travelways that
barging to the islands entails, as well as meeting all DOT reg-ulations to run on mainland highways,” said Taylor. “And most of all, an island transport truck needs to be
dependable so as not to haveexpensive failures in remotelocations, since a lot of peo-ple, businesses and families,depend on their work.”But what people really
wanted to hear were ColeyMulkern’s words, and theywere short and simple. “This is a win for Maine,”
said Mulkern, “for a way ofworking, of coming togeth-er, and getting things done.”

Hyundai Provides Muscle for Farm Compost Operation
Rhode Island may not be one of the largest statesin the country, but its geographic location makes itone of the most nutrient rich. Nestled between theNew England mountains and the eastern coastline,the small state of Rhode Island is an ideal place forthe production of compost. Michael Merner,founder of Earth Care Farm and Rhode Island’soldest compost farmer, learned this first hand whenhe began his compost business in 1979. Since thattime he has made a living by utilizing the naturalbyproducts of the state to manufacture compost forsale to local farms, businesses and homeowners.By continually replenishingthe land in harmony withnature, Merner is helping topreserve high soil quality forfuture generations.When people think of
composting, they often thinkof large production facilitieswith enormous screenersand a distinct odor, many ofwhich are operated by town-ships that collect leaves andbrush from local residents.Very few people think of asmall, family owned andoperated farm producing afinished product that smellslike sweet earth with thebelief that there’s no suchthing as waste in nature.Earth Care Farms is just
that, a small, specialty farmthat produces 3,000 cu. yds.of chemical free composteach year. To yield that amount of compost annually, thefarm must accept and continually move three times thatamount of material, up to 9,000 cu. yds., due to its reductionin volume while maturing. With such a high volume of mate-rials to be moved on their small, 30-acre farm, 3 acres ofwhich serve as their compost footprint, the staff relies heav-ily on their equipment fleet which includes three wheel load-ers, a rented screener, a backhoe and several compact trac-tors, the workhorse and muscle of the daily operation beingtheir Hyundai HL760 wheel loader.Merner said that, “Our equipment is indispensable, partic-
ularly the Hyundai loader. Without it, we’d need 1,000 peo-ple with pitchforks to manually do the work of this onemachine.”According to John Barth, general farm manager, Earth
Care Farm takes equipment purchases very seriouslybecause they are so reliant upon it. “We purchased the Hyundai HL760, 215 horsepower,
39,460 pound, 4 wheel drive loader just over two years agoto help support our growing business and to assist us in mov-ing large amounts of material and mature compost quickly.We owned other loaders at the time, but following some
research, the HyundaiHL760 made the most sensefor our application. Oncedelivered, it quickly becamemy machine of choice.“The hydraulic response
on the HL760 is phenomenaland its econo-mode allowsus to save money on fuelwithout sacrificing perform-ance, while remaining envi-ronmentally consciousthrough lower emissions.With fuel being such a keyexpense in the manufactureof compost, the econo modeon the HL760 was a hugeselling point. In addition, themachine moves quickly.With four forward and threereverse speeds, it can travelup to 21.3 miles per hour,which helps us get moredone in less time.”
The Hyundai loader is used daily to move materialsdumped at the facility to the large, maturing compost piles.Once the material is moved to the piles, the loader is furtherused to incorporate the new materials into the piles and toaerate and mix the compost 5 yds. at a time. Every pile iscompletely mixed and aerated every three weeks. Equippedwith a 5 cu. yd. bucket and 30,510 lb. breakout force, theHL760 moves numerous types of material.“Every day we get a variety of materials delivered to the
The variety of materials in Earth Care Farm’s compost is nutrient rich, encouraging large vegetable growth.John Barth shows off some of the farm’s huge rhubarb.
Earth Care Farm’s Hyundai loader is used for a minimum of 40 hours each week.
Earth Care Farm has been selling compostsince 1979.

Pavement Recyclers/Bagela USAreceived the 2012 Connecticut GreenBusiness Awards’ Green Business of theYear award.“Basically what our equipment does
is take a 100-percent recyclableresource and recycles 100 percent of itinto quality reusable asphalt,” said GregHarla, director of sales and marketing.The recycling process, said Harla, has
minimal petroleum burn-off. That’sachieved through a heating process thatproduces only environmentally friendlysteam during the course of conversion. Harla established the company along
with Technical Director AlanThompson and Managing Partner DaveBrennan. When Harla took a closer lookat the industry, he became convincedthat Bagela Asphalt Recyclers was theright product line for the company. The 100 percent re-use is what
impressed him most. “Asphalt is one of the few commodi-
ties with which you’re able to do that,”he said. “With tires and glass there’salways some sort of by-product. Asphaltis 100 percent recyclable.” Pavement Recyclers customers are
about 50-50 between private contractorsand municipalities. The state ofConnecticut is among its clients. So areother states, including Kansas andTexas. Even though there’s a growing
emphasis on green manufacturing andproduction throughout the country, thismethod of asphalt recycling remainsfairly novel, said Harla. “My job is to promote the concept
along with the equipment. It’s moreabout educating the markets that thistechnology is available. And not only isit available, we sell it.”

Earth Care Farm Leans onHyundai Wheel Loadersfarm, from leaves and woodchips, to veg-etable clippings, to local fish byproduct andseaweed, to zoo manure, to restaurant andfood scraps. The diversity of the materialsthat go into our compost is what makes it sonutrient rich and sought after,” statedMerner.Not all compost is created equal. Many
larger, production oriented compost facilitiesuse just leaves and brush which may be taint-ed by herbicide residues or sewer sludge,which often contains heavy metals to createcompost. These materials have very littlenutrient value and are generally low cost.High-quality compost is made from a broadvariety of nutrient rich, chemical free mate-rials and is typically twice the price of land-fill compost, but you get what you pay foraccording to Merner. “The higher the nutrient value in the com-
post, the higher the per cubic yard price andthe greater the yield in terms of growth forcrops, flowers, etc. The most unique attributeabout the compost produced on our farm isthe addition of the marine byproducts fromthe many fish processing plants in southernNew England. The fish byproduct adds alevel of fertility to the compost incomparableto any I’ve seen during my 33 years in thebusiness. The soil web and nutrient analysistesting we do support this.”In addition to moving materials into the
maturing compost piles, the Hyundai loaderis used to move and load mature compostfrom the piles into the screener, where anyparticles larger than 3/4” are removed. Oncescreened, the mature compost is ready forloading into the trucks of landscapers, gar-den centers, farmers, gardeners and home-owners as they arrive at the farm. “We work this loader for a minimum of
40 hours each week. When you depend thatheavily on one machine, it needs to be reli-able, it needs to be comfortable and it needsto be supported, because when you work amachine that hard, eventually it’s going toneed some maintenance. The Hyundai HL-760 met all these criteria.”Kahn Tractor of North Franklin, Conn.,
was the dealer who introduced Earth CareFarm to the HL-760 loader. Having ownedother loaders, the staff knew what they werelooking for and trusted the dealer and itssales representative to stand behind the prod-uct.“The cab on the HL760 is extremely com-
fortable year round,” said Barth. “Its climatecontrol in terms of air conditioning and heatallow us to work productively on the coldestand hottest days of the year. The cabin airfresh filter is also a nice feature, particularly
since the smell of some of the materialsdelivered before its incorporated into thecompost piles can be pretty offensive.Another nice feature of the cab is its wide,tinted and laminated windshield, which hasno framing cutting through it, allowing me tosee in all directions to easily assess both theterrain and the work to be done.”Maintenance on the Hyundai HL760 also
was well thought out. The loader has easy-to-access service points for routine mainte-nance and oil changes, as well as an easy-to-access pilot filter, grease fittings, centralelectric controllers and fuse box and remotedrain port. To date, routine maintenance isthe only time that the Hyundai HL-760 has-n’t been working on the farm.When asked why their business continues
to grow, Barth said, “Most of our new busi-ness comes from word of mouth. Whensomeone’s neighbor sees a garden withplants that are thriving, full of tomatoes orrhubarb that are twice the size as theirs earlyin the season, they ask questions. Theanswers to those questions typically result innew customers for our farm. Word of mouthis our only form of marketing.”Base materials delivered and incorporated
into the piles are turned in an aerobically-managed compost system. Each batch ofcompost takes approximately one year fromstart to finish. The mature, finished blackcompost bares little resemblance to theingredients it was made from, with theexception of little pieces of shellfish, whichgive Earth Care Farm’s compost a regionaluniqueness not found in compost producedinland. Earth Care Farm was founded by Michael
Merner in 1972, with the compost operationstarting shortly thereafter. Merner has madehis living by allowing local businesses andtowns to dump natural waste byproductsfrom around the state on his farm for incor-poration into the chemical free compost thatis manufactured.
