Cleaning Up Wasteland Promotes New Natural Growth removal of 95 mi. (152 km) ofcrumbling roads. Construction isscheduled to start in December andwill take about three years to com-plete.
As the first federally fundedconstruction project of theComprehensive EvergladesRestoration Plan, commonly called“CERP,” it is what Lacy Shaw,project manager, called a hugemilestone. CERP provides aframework for restoring, preserv-ing and protecting the southFlorida ecosystem that surroundsthe Everglades, while providingfor other water-related needs of theregion. Plans call for a series ofmore than 60 ecological and watersystem improvements to be madeover the next three decades.
Wetland WastelandThe project area includes 55,000
acres (22,258 ha) of native Floridawetlands and uplands locatedbetween Alligator Alley (Interstate75) and the Tamiami Trail (U.S.41) in the southwestern corner ofthe state. Previously, the land was aprivately owned subdivision calledSouthern Golden Gate Estates thatwas developed in the 1950s,according to Tom Leicht, projectengineer.
Canals were dredged to drainthe site for the housing develop-ment and roads were installed foraccess, explains USACE’sOutreach and CommunicationManager Nanciann Regalado.Canal excavation and road con-struction disrupted the naturalwater flow by draining water awayfrom the wetlands, resulting inover-drained land because of thealtered flow and leading to reducedaquifer recharge, greatly increasedfreshwater point source dischargesto southern estuaries and permittedinvasion of upland and non-nativevegetation. Past dredging of the C-111 canal redirected water flows tothe east, reducing flow throughTaylor Slough into the northernFlorida Bay, impacting fisheriesand ecology. Although almostentirely surrounded by refugelands, the area suffered from a lossof habitat and ecological connec-tivity.
Surrounding public landsinclude the Florida PantherNational Wildlife Refuge,Fakahatchee Strand Preserve StatePark, Everglades National Park,Big Cypress National Preserve,
Ten Thousand Islands NationalWildlife Refuge, Rookery BayNational Estuarine ResearchReserve and Collier-SeminoleState Park. “It’s the hole in themiddle of the donut,” Regaladovisualized. Its central locationamong these nature preserves andwildlife areas reflects its impor-tance to the ecosystem connectivi-ty of the entire region. Loss of thatconnectivity was detrimental topreservation of sufficient habitatexpanses to support the endan-gered Florida panther and otherwildlife.
The developer built a few hous-es — lots were sold sight-unseen,predominantly to northern buyers— before going “belly-up,”Regalado said. For years, the area“just sat.” Eventually, the fewhouses built in this swamp landwere condemned. In 1974, CollierCounty commissioned the first
study to determine how to reversethe impacts of the failed develop-ment. Land acquisition began inthe 1980s, with the FloridaDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection spending roughly $250million on land purchases.
“The state bought the land aspart of the state forest,” Regaladosaid. By the time the Division ofForestry acquired the defuncthousing development, much of theinfrastructure was in decay — oldaccess roads were deteriorated. “Itwas a grid with crumbling roads.”
To expedite restoration, in a sep-arate project in 2006 the South
Florida Water ManagementDistrict plugged the northern sevenmiles of the Prairie Canal, whichsuccessfully reduced drainage ofthe adjacent Fakahatchee StrandState Preserve. They also removedabout 200 mi. (321 km) of road-ways adjacent to the canal betweenthe Prairie and Merritt canals andcleared exotic plant species fromthe canal banks. “It’s amazing tosee the effects already,” exclaimedShaw. “Growth has already startedand hundreds of birds havereturned. It exceeded expectationsof the scientists.”
Picayune PriorityThree years later, groundbreak-
ing for the PSRPdrew a big crowd.“Senator Bill Nelson was there,”Regalado recalled. “TheDepartment of the Interior, Fishand Wildlife Services and a lot ofothers came.” With about $40 mil-
lion in funds by Congressionalappropriation as part of theAmerican Recovery andReinvestment Act, the project isexpected to have an acceleratedconstruction schedule and createmuch-needed jobs in southwesternFlorida.
The restoration project involvesremoving 227 mi. (365 km) ofcrumbling roads and non-nativevegetation and plugging 48 mi. (77km) of canals originally dug toprovide flood protection for thesprawling, now abandoned GoldenGate Estates residential project.Three new pump stations will
allow natural resource and watermanagers to direct fresh water todrained wetlands as well as tomaintain current levels of floodreduction benefits north of theproject. Shaw added that the build-ing of a levee system will con-tribute to maintaining the samelevel of flood reduction north oflevee as before development.South of the levee, water will bepumped to spread out and rehy-drate the land. The Corps is carefulto specify that the project is notdesigned to provide flood control;it will only continue flood reduc-tion at the current level north of theproject area. “The water flowedsouth to the Gulf of Mexico,”Shaw noted. “This will createoverland flow, allowing it to returnto swamp conditions. We are ‘re-wilding’ the land.”
Harry Pepper & Associates willbegin by removing 95 mi. of roads
and non-native vegetation and willinstall 55 plugs in 13.5 mi. of theMerritt Canal. Then, Corps con-tractors will build an 810 cu. ft. (23cu m)-per-second pump stationand spreader canal that will allownatural resource and water man-agers to direct fresh water todrained wetlands, in addition tomaintaining flood reduction levels.This will restore fresh water wet-lands, and will improve estuarinewater quality by increasinggroundwater recharge and reduc-ing large and unnatural freshwaterinflows.
Benefits of the completed proj-
ect include eco-system restorationthrough recharge of the aquifer andrehydration of the land. Thisprocess will help protect the watersupply and prevent saltwater intru-sion. That, in turn, will restore andenhance the habitat for fish andwildlife, including threatened andendangered species. As Leichtexplained, fish spawn there. “Thisis a nursery for all the fish of theGulf. The water affects the fish.With a sheet flow, you get the rightcombination of fresh and saltwater.”
The project also will reduce oreliminate over-drainage of adja-cent sensitive ecosystems, includ-ing the adjacent FakahatcheeStrand State Preserve, and reducefreshwater releases (point dis-charges) to improve the health andproductivity of downstream estuar-ies. “The south end where it dis-charges was a point discharge,”Shaw explained. “Now it willspread that discharge, which bene-fits the estuary because the stormwater runoff is filtered and there’sless salinity. The quality of waterdischarged is improved becauseit’s filtered by the ground.”
Part of the plan to return the areato pristine conditions includes amove to staunch the growth ofinvasive plant species like theBrazilian pepper and regrow nativespecies, Shaw said. That, togetherwith flood reduction protection forNorthern Golden Gate Estates andadjacent private properties, helpspreserve upland habitat for thegreater Everglades ecosystem,including the Florida PantherNational Wildlife Refuge.
In a report called a BiologicalOpinion, the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service quantified thelong-term beneficial effects of thePicayune Strand RestorationProject for the Florida panther. TheArmy Corps of Engineers provid-ed funding for a panther-prey studythat documented the use ofPicayune Strand by the Floridapanther and its primary prey:white-tailed deer and feral hogs.The study included placinginfrared remote cameras at regularintervals across the site. Biologistswill use the data collected over twoyears as reference when post-restoration data is collected, andprovides a scientific benchmark forfuture monitoring and evaluation.
“A key issue on this project wasto protect wildlife,” Regalado said.

Ross Clark Circle Project Reaches Toward Finish Linetions, and no overnight shut-downs,” explained Glenn Phillips,Dothan manager of general con-tractor APAC-Midsouth. “Still,anytime you restrict traffic to onelane, there are going to be a fewheadaches. And safety is always abig concern.”
Work on the project began withcrews in the wiregrass completingthe milling phase. Currently,asphalt widening is being carriedout, as workers replace a 4 ft. (1.2m) paved shoulder on the outsidelane and a 2 ft. (.6 m) paved shoul-der on the inside lane. The existingguardrails also are being removedas part of the repaving effort.
“This needed to be done,because the existing surface wasshowing excessive wear, ruttingand cracking,” said Phillips. “Thelife expectancy of the currentasphalt had reached its peak andsimply needed to be resurfaced.”
The Georgia-based MillerGroup was in charge of asphaltmilling. Estimator John Safranexplained, “ We used a CMIPR1050 milling machine with a12-foot cutter drum with numerousteeth that cut the asphalt off theroadway to a particular depth. Thisallows you to complete one lane ata time. The teeth, which are car-bide tipped, become one of thebiggest costs of a milling opera-tion.
“You always have to be con-cerned about breakdowns, eitheron our end or the contractor’s end,”added Safran. “Your goal is to getin, get the job done and get out.Efficiency is very important andevery minute counts. You have torely on others on the job, especial-ly when you have asphalt that hasto be laid back down within thesame closure period. It’s a prettytight operation. Plus, you’re havingto deal with traffic control.”
Lee Gross, president of OzarkStriping, agreed the main chal-lenge is dealing with countlessmotorists on the bypass, whichreportedly total 30,000 per day,according to the AlabamaDepartment of Transportation(ALDOT).
“You’re dealing with a tremen-dous amount of vehicles out thereon The Circle. That’s always aproblem for us on a job,” saidGross.
Gross said arrow boards and sig-nage help with traffic control, dur-ing both the initial painting and thereturn visit to make permanent
markings by machine and hand.“For this job, we don’t expect
anything out of the ordinary. Whenthey first do asphalt paving, we arerequired to come out and do tem-porary striping. There’s a 14-daycuring on asphalt, then we comeout and do the permanent stripingover about a week-and-a-half,” hecontinued.
Ozark Striping uses paintingequipment that’s unique to theindustry, for maximum perform-ance.
“It’s a thermoplastic powderthat’s heated to 400 degrees, andwe make it into a liquid. When weput it down it dries in less than twominutes. We keep the same trucksfor years and just use forklifts to liftout the old beds and replace what’sneeded and then weld everythingtogether.”
Weather hasn’t posed a problemthus far, except for slight rain andoccasional morning fog. More thana dozen crew members have takenadvantage of the sunny weather asthey run equipment including aCaterpillar paver, Ingersoll Randasphalt rollers and a Weiler widen-er.
Another subcontractor, H & LGuardrail of Troy, Ala., is per-forming the guardrail upgrades onthe project.
“We use a GRT Utilicorpguardrail hammer to install theguardrail posts,” said H & LGuardrail Vice-President JayCorley. “We’re also using aKobelco 135 excavator for some ofthe removal items.
“The most challenging part ofmy scope,” Corley added, “is thethree beam retrofit, because it’s
relatively new to ALDOT.Specifically, we’re looking at2,400 linear feet of three beamguardrail, 2,385 linear feet of WBeam guardrail and about twodozen guardrail end anchors.”
SR-210 is highly developed andheavily used both by those wholive and work in Dothan and bymotorists headed to Florida whouse it as a bypass around the city.A divided four-lane highway, theroad was built in the late 1950sand was made possible by formerAlabama governor Jim Folsom.Folsom determined the road benamed Ross Clark, in honor of his
brother-in-law, who passedaway in 1955.
Also known simply as“The Circle,” the road has aroute overlaid by US-84, US-231 and US-431. GenevaGrass general manager LynnBowman and his 12-mancrew are responsible for keep-ing APAC in compliance withthe Alabama Department ofEnvironmental Management(ADEM).
“Our job is erosion control.We have to retain storm wateron the project, so that it does-n’t affect private property,”Bowman explained.
Once the grass is mowedand all the potential water prob-lems are identified, the subcontrac-tor has to follow a specific erosioncontrol plan, then return at a laterdate to distribute lime and fertiliz-er. Materials used include siltfence, 20-in. (50.8 cm) diameterstraw wattles, inlet protectors, ero-sion control netting, seed, sod andmulch. Geneva Grass is using aBobcat with a trencher, Deutstchand John Deere tractors, twomulching machines, two seeders, ahydro-seeder and several watertrucks to complete the work.
“We’ll mulch and crimp rough-ly 4,000 pounds of hay per acre.This project is about 80 acres, sowe’ll go through a lot of hay,which we grow ourselves. There’sa good deal of maintenanceinvolved on our end. so we’realways the last men standing on thejob,” Bowman concluded.
The overall cost of refurbishingRoss Clark Circle is approximately$4 million, with work expected tobe completed by mid-summer.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Two post-Hurricane Katrina housing projects forspecial needs residents have beenstalled for months as the State BondCommission awaits a report from theUniversity of New Orleans.
The nonprofit developer Gulf CoastHousing Partnership has spent morethan $1 million preparing the stalledprojects: a new 70-apartment buildingin Mid-City and a 42-unit renovationin Central City, according to a reportpublished in The Times-Picayune.
The nonprofit is using the LouisianaRecovery Authority’s so-called piggy-back program to boost affordablerental housing by offering block grantsriding on top of financing through low-income housing tax credits.
Progress has been stalled sinceSeptember pending approval from thecommission, which is waiting for asecond round of independent studiesabout the city’s rental market beforemaking a decision.
“These projects are among the bestof the piggyback program,” LRA
board member Walt Leger Jr. said.“They address a critical need for a spe-cial needs population.”
The piggyback program has giventhe green light to 57 projects represent-ing investments of $591 million for7,554 rental units across southernLouisiana. Twenty projects are com-plete, and another 18 are under con-struction.
As of March, the overall occupancyrates of the completed piggyback proj-ects was 91 percent.
Many of the completed projectshave shown success so far. Amongthose are three projects in New Orleansby Domain Companies totaling 483units, with about half offering below-market rates.
“All three developments leased upwithin six months of opening and havemaintained 100 percent occupancywith waiting lists since that time,”Domain principal Matthew Schwartzsaid. “The model has proven tremen-dously successful, and we hope to con-tinue to partner with LRA on our
development plans going forward.” The State Bond Commission decid-
ed last fall that the special needs hous-ing projects would be deferred until thepanel received a final housing reportthat is being prepared at the Universityof New Orleans.
The report is expected to be releasedthis summer, meaning that bond com-mission action probably would not betaken until August or September at theearliest, representing a one-year delay.
The bond commission is a mixtureof House and Senate members,statewide elected politicians and repre-sentatives of Gov. Bobby Jindal, whocarries the most weight on the panel.
The Housing Partnership has devel-oped several projects on the GulfCoast. For financing these under thepiggyback program, the partnershiphas lined up a combination of federalblock grants and investors willing totake the federal tax credits through theproposed bonds.

Wacker Neuson SE, Caterpillar Sign Strategic AllianceThe relevant executive bodies of Wacker
Neuson SE, Munich, Germany andCaterpillar Inc., Peoria, Ill., have signed anagreement regarding the design, manufac-ture, distribution and support of Caterpillarmini excavators up to 3 tons (2.7 t). The aimof the cooperation is that the two partiesform a long-term strategic alliance.
The agreement with a term of 20 yearsincludes the development and manufactureof mini excavators with an operating weightof up to 3 tons designed to Caterpillar’s spec-ifications at Wacker Neuson’s productionplant in Linz, Austria. Wacker Neuson willleverage its manufacturing and productdevelopment capability to produceCaterpillar mini excavators in the under 3-ton category.
Caterpillar currently offers three modelsin this size range. The new model range willconsist of up to seven machines. The miniexcavators will be produced to Caterpillar’stechnical and brand specifications and willbe distributed and supported via Caterpillar’s
global dealer network, with the exception ofJapan. All Caterpillar models will be clearlydifferentiated from comparable WackerNeuson models in the same product range.The additional volume in the first year of fullproduction in 2012 will more than doublethe existing production volume of compara-ble mini excavators on Wacker Neuson’sproduction lines, according to the manufac-turer.
“We know many customers are lookingfor more options in this size range, and thisalliance will give those customers expandedchoices to help them grow their business,”said Mary Bell, Caterpillar vice presidentwith responsibility for the BuildingConstruction Products Division.
“There also is an ideal cultural fit betweenCaterpillar and Wacker Neuson, as bothcompanies have a strong focus on develop-ing and supporting world class products.Over the years, Wacker Neuson has devel-oped a strong reputation among ourCaterpillar dealers, who have become famil-
iar with Wacker Neuson’s Light Equipmentproducts, which are available at Cat Rentalstores,” Bell added.
The two companies recognize the benefitsand synergies of utilizing Wacker Neuson’sdevelopment and production capacity anddistributing machines via the respectivesales networks — a move that will improveboth companies’ competitive position,according to the companies.
By concentrating production of selectedproducts at Wacker Neuson’s mini excavatorproduction in Linz, Austria, the two compa-nies will leverage joint economies of scale inthe manufacturing and development process,while supplying their respective, comple-mentary sales channels with differentiated,competitive machines.
“We are delighted at the prospect of whatpromises to be a long term strategic partner-ship for both companies as we move forwardand probably will accelerate our investmentin a new and highly efficient mini excavatorproduction plant in Hörsching near Linz,”
explained Georg Sick, CEO of WackerNeuson SE.
The partnership will enable both parties tospread the cost of developing and modifyinglower-emission products across higher vol-umes.
About Wacker NeusonWacker Neuson SE is a global manufac-
turer of light and compact equipment withmore than 30 affiliates and more than 180sales and service stations across the globe.Manufacturing activities are distributedacross three German, one Austrian, twoAmerican and one Philippine productionsites. Almost all products manufactured bythe company are branded Wacker Neuson.The only exceptions to this in Europe areKramer Allrad products and Weidemann-branded agricultural machinery.

Ring Power Adds Master Craft Forklifts to CRS LineupFrom pallets of bricks to 20-ft. (6 m)
lengths of pipe, moving materialsaround an off-road work site is a realchallenge without the proper equip-ment. But a recent addition to RingPower’s Cat Rental Store (CRS) prod-uct lines, Master Craft’s rough-terrainforklifts are expressly built to handle thekinds of environments in which manyconstruction, mining, logging, utilitiesand sod farming customers work.
Comprised of more than 70 percentCaterpillar parts, Master Craft’s C-Series rough-terrain forklifts are essen-tially straight mast units mounted onbackhoe loaders, and run on the power-train and axles of a Cat 416E. RingPower CRS offers eight C-Series mod-els for sale in two- and four-wheel driveconfigurations with lift capacities rang-ing from 5,000 to 10,000 lbs. (2,268 to4,536 kg). The 8,000-lb. (3,629 kg),
four-wheel drive Master Craft MC-08-2137 is available in the CRS rental fleetin place of the JCB 940 model former-ly offered.
“Rough terrain forklifts are differentfrom traditional industrial modelsbecause they can maneuver off-roadthrough sand and mud,” explained BillMeadows, Master Craft general manag-er. “Four-wheel drive will get you out ofmuddy areas, just like a pickup truck.”
Rough terrain forklifts maneuvermore easily and are less expensive torent than other types of machines thattransport materials at off-road job sites,according to the manufacturer.Consequently, Master Craft’s forkliftsare used in more than 50 differentindustry segments, where tractive forceis needed to overcome the challengingunderfoot conditions created by mud,sand, debris and slope angle.
“Master Craft’s forklifts complementour already diverse product offerings,”stated Ring Power CRS Sales ManagerSaint Currin. “Since the majority of C-Series parts are available direct fromCaterpillar, our customers will be ableto rely on Ring Power’s signature serv-ice and support. Master Craft’s partner-ship with Caterpillar will allow us tostand behind our machines for the longhaul.”
Master Craft Industrial Equipment isa family-owned, rough-terrain forkliftmanufacturer headquartered in Tifton,Ga., whose sales account for 11 percentof the rough-terrain forklift market.Master Craft has been a business part-ner with Caterpillar for more than 10years.

Rogers Completes 13-Axle Trailer for Houston HaulerRogers completed an 80-ton (72.5 t) capacity, 13-axle
trailer for a specialized hauling company in Houston, Texas.(The term 13-axle takes into account a 4-axle tractor). Thetrailer employs a “west coast style” suspension that distrib-utes weight to the back six axles using a “rocker shaft” in therear of the trailer.
The air ride suspensions of the first three axles areattached to a sub-frame that “rocks” inside the rear frame;and it balances, like a teeter-totter, with the back three axlesof the “stinger” or bogie.
These suspensions have a special air-height adjustmentsystem that is controlled by hand valves. Each axle of themain trailer is fitted with shut-off valves and chains. Thetrailer, stinger and jeep dolly all have Air Weigh electronicscales installed to measure individual axle loads.
This trailer features a mechanical detachable gooseneckwith a 197-in. (500 cm) swing clearance. It uses the “pin andpaddle” connection method instead of the traditional Rogers“hook and shaft” connection. All of the structural beams arefabricated of 130K psi steel to keep the trailer’s weight to aminimum. The total weight, including the jeep dolly, is64,900 lb. (29,438 kg).
The platform deck is 30 ft. long and 10 ft. wide (9 by 3 m).Because of its modular design, the platform deck can be sub-stituted with another deck style, or a future deck insert can beadded to increase the deck length. It also is equipped withLED lights, three electronic back-up alarms and thirty-six
275/70R22.5 tires. This 80-ton capacity specialized Rogerstrailer, including the 3-axle jeep dolly, is nearly 107 ft. (32.6m) long.

Ray Ferwerda Jr., president ofGS Equipment Company recog-nizes an opportunity when he seesit. So when Constantino Lannes,president of Sennebogen Americaoffered his company an opportuni-ty to be the Sennebogen distributorin Florida, he immediately knewthis would be an opportunity thatwould work for both of them.
The two have known each otherfrom a previous relationship.
“I hadn’t seen Constantino inyears and I bumped into him at theAssociated EquipmentDistributors [AED] conference lastyear,” recalled Ferwerda.
Great Southern EquipmentCompany officially became aSennebogen distributor Dec. 21,2009, serving all of Florida exceptthe Panhandle. With locations inTampa, Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale,Orlando and Jacksonville, GSEquipment specializes in servingcommercial construction, roadbuilding, logging and mining mar-kets. It is a multi-line dealer offer-ing a complete line of equipmentfrom rollers and pavers to excava-tors and dozers and everything inbetween. All five of its locationsare now selling and servicing theSennebogen line of equipment.

family owned business that hasexpanded from a single operationin Tampa, to a network of branchoperations servicing contractorsacross Florida and South Georgia.It has been in business for 50 yearsand will be celebrating thatanniversary during 2010.
“My father started the business50 years ago. Like him, we areonsite and hands-on with our cus-tomers because we understandwhat it takes to be successful inbusiness today,” said Ferwerda.“Some dealerships are part of a
multinational organization that areperhaps not as customer driven aswe are. We are all about serviceand looking after our customers’needs.”
He said that Sennebogen also isa family owned business thatshares the same philosophy aboutservicing its customers, making thetwo a good fit.
GS Equipment Company isinheriting the responsibility oflooking after and maintainingSennebogen’s customer opera-tions. From this point forward,Ferwerda’s top priority is makingsure there is no lapse in support.
“We are prepared to do thatbecause we appreciate every cus-tomer,” he said. “We are veryproud of our reputation for serviceand support. We have built thebusiness on this and know what ittakes to help our client maximizetheir machine uptime.”
At present, GS EquipmentCompany is focused on dirt mov-ing activities and include in its areaof expertise site preparation equip-ment such as mulching, road build-ing equipment, paving and munic-ipal business.
Ferwerda has prepared for itsnew responsibility by ordering andstocking parts for all five locationsas well as machines.
“We have already made a majorinvestment in terms of stockmachines and parts inventory,” hesaid.
The company had previouslyventured into the scrap market butfound itself competing against thevery machines it now carries.
“Two years ago a lot of compa-nies were trying to get into thescrap business when scrap wasseeing record highs. We put a fewmachines out there but we didn’thave anything like a Sennebogen, apurpose-built machine. Everybodyelse was trying to turn convention-
al excavators into scrap handlers,”Ferwerda explained. “We didn’tknow enough about the industry tounderstand why, but we werelearning quickly. Some of our goodcustomers in transfer stations were
buying everything else from us,but when it came to material han-dlers they said Sennebogen wasthe way to go. We didn’t have any-thing that could compete so it’sgood to be representingSennebogen now.”
Teaming Up WithSennebogen
“The sales teams can’t wait.They are excited about represent-ing Sennebogen, a market leaderhere in Florida. They are eagerbecause Sennebogen gets us intoan industry where we will be ableto supply other types of equipmentwhen the new customers get toknow us. We already have anexcellent reputation in the industryfor service and now we are
expanding that customer base,”Ferwerda said.
New markets other than scrapthat GS Equipment Company islooking to penetrate, now that ithas aligned itself with
Sennebogen, include: demolition,logging — in northern Florida,waste and port applications.
“We are committed to giveSennebogen customers the atten-tion and time required to upholdthe Sennebogen brand,” saidFerwerda.
Parts and Service TrainingThe company started parts and
service training at its locations onJan. 4th to ensure a consistent con-tinuation of service. In order tomake it as efficient as possible,Sennebogen sent down a crew todo the training at its location. Oneof the significant benefits thatSennebogen has is the fact thatthere are no on-board computers.
“This really made the service
training go very easily,” saidFerwerda. “Our teams of factory-trained personnel are up-to-dateand current with the Sennebogenproduct line.”
One of the ways that GSEquipment Company is preparingfor the transition is by hiring aSennebogen specialist.
“This will really help our guysto understand the market. It bringscommon sense to the industry andgives us a solid understanding forthe applications.”
Mitch Roberts, a well knownSennebogen product specialist willbe assisting all of the salesmen.
“I am very pleased to have theopportunity to work with Mitch,”said Len Lawrence, the RSM forSennebogen. “We have worked ona lot of projects together and Iknow that Mitch will provide theproduct leadership that GSEquipment is known for.”
In the meantime, GS EquipmentCompany will be marketing itsnew line of Sennebogen machinesby attending the Institute of ScrapRecycling Industries (ISRI) showthis year as well as a number of theregional shows, including some forthe waste industry.
Ultimately, Ferwerda said thatnew opportunities will arise forboth companies as they both con-tinue to build upon their reputationfor providing specialty productsbacked up by quality customerservice.
“It’s a win-win situation becausewe both have the same approach tothe market. Sennebogen is veryloyal to its dealer base and we havean excellent reputation for servicein our region,” he said. “An oppor-tunity like this doesn’t come upthat often and this is one that weare looking forward to.”

Another jaw crusher in the Sandvik CJ200 series is now available — the CJ208.This is a crusher for customers who do not want to compromise between light-weight and heavy-duty equipment, mobile and stationary applications, and processflexibility and easy operation. The new Sandvik CJ208 is the smallest member ofthe family.
Sandvik’s CJ200 series offers a combination of lightweight equipment andheavy-duty crushing applications. The optimized crushing chamber provides ahigh reduction ratio and capacity. The CJ200 series’wide range of applications alsoincludes the possibility of producing a 0 to 1.5 in. (0 to 4 cm) final product in onecrushing stage. Moreover, the CJ200-series crushers are easy to operate and main-tain, according to the manufacturer.
The frame of Sandvik’s CJ200 series of jaw crushers is all-welded, making itequally strong in all directions and ensuring durability against shock loads. In turn,this minimizes the risk of mainframe failure, as seen with a bolted design.Furthermore, the design of the deep symmetrical crushing chamber maximizesfeed size, capacity and reduction.
The CJ200’s heavy-duty capacity makes it a practical choice for stationary appli-cations. The crusher’s compact, low-weight and easy-to-install design also makes itideal for use in mobile applications. Its bolted feet enable the Sandvik crusher to beused as a stationary unit with zero degree inclination or on a mobile unit with five-degree inclination.
The Sandvik CJ208 and the other members of the 200 series are available with a rangeof optional equipment, such as automatic bearing lubrication, feed hopper, intermediate pro-tection plate and a complete drive package, including motor, bracket, pulley, belt and fly-wheel/belt protection.
The CJ200 series has low energy and operating costs due to its optimized flywheels. For example, theCJ208 model requires only a 74 hp (55 kW) motor to crush the hardest material with the smallest feed openings.

The Bradco 485 backhoe by Paladin Construction Groupincreases utilization of skid steer loaders and tractors. At 665lbs. (301 kg) without a bucket, its compact size allows oper-ators to easily move the unit around the job site and providesa maximum digging depth of 8 ft., 5 in. (2.6 m). The full180-degree dual-cylinder swing rotation provides equalpower in both directions. A 10-ft., 7-in. (3.2 m) horizontalreach from the swing post places dirt away from the diggingarea and minimizes the need to move the machine, accord-ing to the manufacturer.
The Bradco 485 backhoe is compatible with bucket sizesfrom 10 up to 24 in. (25 to 61 cm) and heaped capacities thatrange from .92 up to 3.1 cu. ft. (.02 to .08 cu m).
The Bradco 485 backhoe’s SAE float detent in the boomcircuit and circuit relief valve provide added protection andsafety — allowing the operator to smoothly move from posi-tion to position without error. Ahigh back adjustable seat andeasy-to-use swing speed controls make for comfortable, yetprecise bucket placement and digging.
In addition, the Bradco 485 backhoe is built tough from10 gauge high-strength 100 ksi steel, which minimizesweight, yet increases durability. An inline filter and checkvalve ensure longer valve life and replaceable hardenedbushings in all pivot points decrease maintenance require-ments. Stress proof pins and high-strength steel and ductileiron castings in high stress areas also reduce wear and main-tenance costs.

Erasing Human Footprint Clears Wayfor Florida’s Panthers, Black BearsThe baseline survey of panthers andblack bears provides useful informa-tion on numbers and locations ofwildlife. In addition to the pre-con-struction survey, ongoing informationis being collected. As Shaw stated, theydiscovered more panthers than expect-ed. “Our hope [for the project] is thatonce the ground is inundated and natu-ral hydrology occurs, the regenerationof wetland plants, such as cypress trees,will be more conducive to panther preyand other wildlife and this area willbecome a connector to neighboringareas.”
Just Another Day on The JobTo achieve pre-dredging levels,
crews will plug the canals, remove theold roads and build three pump stationsto redirect water into sheet flow acrossthe land. Shaw emphasized that theyare plugging the canals at road inter-sections, not filling them. The threecanals vary in size, but on average areapproximately 12 ft. (3.6 m) deep and75 ft. (22.8 m) wide.
The canals, whose sole purpose wasto drain the land, will be plugged withspoil from the roads that are beingremoved. “We’ll scrape dirt off theroad and dump it into the canal,” Leichtstated. The roads, which are severelydegraded, are asphalt, although he saidthere’s “not much asphalt left.” Crewswill be required to scrape off the topportion of the asphalt and stockpile it tomaintain for road maintenance. Thecrushed stone road base will be used toplug the canals. A few contaminatedsites are being cleaned up, Shaw inter-jected.
Three pump stations will be con-structed on the north side of the projectarea — one on each existing canal.Work on the two largest — the Merrittand the Faka Union pump stations —will start in June. Leicht, who said he’s“done a lot of pump stations,” indicatesthat “the most expensive piece [of theproject] is the pump station.”
In addition to the a 225 cfs pump sta-tions, the project calls for a 590-acre(239 ha) Frog Pond detention area tocreate a mound of groundwater to thesouth and west, preventing groundwa-ter seepage to the east and improvingwater delivery (quantity, timing anddistribution) to Eastern Florida Bay, aswell as a spreader canal to replaceexisting portions of the lower C-111canal and enhance sheetflow to FloridaBay.
Two different contractors are spear-heading work on the first two pumps.Shaw admitted it’s been a challenge tocoordinate access for both of them towork simultaneously. There are noenvironmental restraints, but becauseall workers must stay within the per-mitted area of the construction foot-print, the site could become congestedwith equipment that includes graders,end loaders and off-road trucks.
We have not moved dirt yet,” shenoted, “but the stars are aligning.” Thetarget completion date is September
2012 for major construction, exclusiveof the 12-month performance periodthat’s part of the contract. Leichtexplained that the South Florida WaterManagement will use that time as a“shakedown period to try out equip-ment. They will run a full season toexperience fluctuations and check forproblems while the contractor is stillonsite.” That period can be extended anadditional six months to accommodatea full season, if necessary.
Since they have to avoid workingduring the wet season because it’sswampy, the schedule could get com-pressed, making coordination of effortseven more complicated. The entireproject requires a lot of coordination,Shaw added, which also includes coor-dinating with forest rangers and parkvisitors. Along with wildlife andweather, coordination is one of thebiggest challenges of the project. Sofar, it isn’t expected to affect the workschedule, which is slated as a standardwork week. But the Corps wants toensure things run smoothly. “There area lot of eyes looking at this project. Fish& Wildlife Services is involved.”Leicht said there are a lot of stakehold-
ers involved, including the Corps andthe water management district. “It’shard to coordinate all of them, but wetry to include everyone as part of theteam.”
That team effort means reinforcingenvironmental awareness and empha-sizing the project goals. “We had akickoff meeting to make sure the con-tractor was aware that it’s an environ-mental restoration project,” Shaw indi-cated. “It’s important that we don’t dis-turb the area; everyone must stay with-in the footprint.” As Regalado
explained, “It’s a sensitive environ-ment; we must protect it.”
They also must report all wildlifespotted. “We’re cognizant of the habi-tat with endangered species,” Shawcontinued. “We’re aware of the wildlifesurveys on denning panthers and thepossibility of wildlife encounters.Through the Environmental EducationProgram, we educated the workers onwildlife and what to do if they encoun-tered any.”
Dubbed a “crown jewel” of CERPby Paul Souza, field supervisor of theU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s SouthFlorida Office, who marvels that thearea was once “slated to become a sub-urb of Naples,” Picayune Strand isexpected to show the positive effects ofrestored hydrology in a fairly shortamount of time.
“It doesn’t happen very often thatsomeone restores property to naturalhabitat and erases the human footprint.Not many areas are being put back,”Regalado reflected.
(This story also can be found onConstruction Equipment Guide’sWeb site at www.constructionequip-mentguide.com.) CEG
The Army Corps of Engineers provided funding for a panther-prey studythat documented the use of Picayune Strand by the Florida panther andits primary prey: white-tailed deer and feral hogs.

ARTBA Chairman Says It’s‘Time to Level With the Public’which by itself will tremendously increasedemand for all products and commoditiesand American jobs. A third truth is thatfreight demand also will double in the next40 years, from 15 billion tons today to 30 bil-lion tons.
“For the future, we absolutely need tomake adding significant new capacity to thenation’s highway system a top federal prior-ity. We need to address the known trafficchokepoints and create regional critical com-merce corridors to move goods,” Tate said.”That is not to say that we don’t also need toadd capacity to the other modes. We do,including to our ocean ports and the connec-tions to them. High speed rail could certain-ly compete with aviation at some point.”
In a fiscally-constrained environment,tough choices will have to be made by elect-ed leaders, the ARTBA chairman said.
“Spreading the peanut butter aroundwon’t cut it,” he said. “The question needs tobe ‘What investments will give theAmerican people as a whole the biggestreturn on their investment and help ensure agood quality of life for our grandchildren?’”
Tate lamented the nearly 10-month delayin passage of a new surface transportation
bill and its impacts on the construction mar-ket. The current highway and transit pro-gram law — SAFETEA-LU — expiredSept. 30, 2009. The current law is operatingon its fourth short-term extension — the lat-est one expires Dec. 31, 2010.
“At Caterpillar, we’ve had to lay off morethan 20,000 employees over the past twoyears, in large part, because the domesticconstruction market has been so bad,” Tatesaid. “Contractors will not make investmentsin expensive new equipment if they areuncertain about the availability of futurework. And the truth is, federal funding iswhat drives the state highway and transitconstruction programs.”
The best thing Congress and the presidentcould do to foster economic growth and jobcreation is to pass a robust, multi-year reau-thorization done right after the election orfirst thing in 2011, according to Tate.
“Again — tell the American public thetruth. There will be a direct correlationbetween the economy and quality of life weleave our grandchildren and the investmentchoices the president, this agency and theCongress make in transportation over thenext several years. Failure to make the hardchoices is not an option,” Tate concluded.

By James McRaySPECIAL TO CEG
Hubbard ConstructionCompany recently completed theinstallation of two 24 in. (61 cm)butterfly valves off a 36 in. (91 cm)methane gas trunk line. The trunkline was located about 25 ft. (7.6m) below grade. The water tablewas approximately 10 ft. (3 m).
The two butterfly valve tapswere just a small part of the OrangeCounty (Florida) Landfill Cell 10
Expansion project. But the installa-tion challenges were anything butsmall, according to the contractor.
“We were fighting water thewhole time,” said Hubbard ProjectEngineer Javier Saldana. “We usedas many as eight submersiblepumps at each of the two locations,and it still took a week and a half toget each location dry enough to tapin the valves.”
However, getting rid of thewater was only the first challenge.Keeping the excavation open andsafe for installation personnel towork in the trench was the second,bigger challenge.
Tight-Sheeting Not AnOption
Tight sheeting is typically thetechnique of choice for shoringwhen excessive water is present.But sheeting was not an option inthis instance. Instead, the contrac-tor turned to the Slide Rail ShoringSystem.
“Using sheeting would have
cost $350,000 or more,” saidSaldana. “Plus, we’d need specialpermits and special engineering,and vibrating in sheets couldloosen the new berm and damagethe new liner causing even moredamage.”
Instead, Saldana and ProjectManager Robert Tanksley contact-ed Efficiency Production — amanufacturer of Slide RailSystems and other trench safetyequipment — for information onits Slide Rail System.
“We watched their video, stud-ied their installation manual; all theinformation they provided us,”explained Saldana. “And we gotonsite assistance from ProfessionalShoring and Supply right here inOrlando.”
Dig and Push Efficiency’s universal slide rail
is a component shoring systemcomprised of steel panels (similarto trench shield sidewalls) and ver-tical steel posts. The system can beused in a variety of configurations,such as small four-sided pits; largeunobstructed working pits as big as50 by 50 ft. (15 by 15 m) withEfficiency’s ClearSpan System; orin a linear Multi-Bay configurationto install length of pipe over 40 ft.(12 m).
Slide Rail is installed simultane-ously as the trench or pit is exca-vated by sliding the panels intointegrated rails on the posts — anoutside slotted rail first, then anopen-face rail on the inside — then
pushing the panels and posts incre-mentally down to grade as the pit isdug; a process commonly referredto as a “dig and push” system.Efficiency Production offers anopen-face rail design on its SlideRail posts.
Custom Sheeting GuideFrame Panel
Hubbard rented fromProfessional Shoring, a two-bay 4-sided Multi-Bay configured sys-
tem which incorporated sheetingguide frame panels that integrateinto the slide rail system by replac-ing an inside panel with the guideframe. The custom sheeting guideframe allows KD-750 sheeting tobe installed deeper into the excava-tion. It can be placed tightly aroundor next to the existing pipe.
It was the first time the HCCcrew had used Slide Rail, but it metall their expectations.
“We loved the system,” said
Saldana. “When we first got to thesite, we were apprehensive neverhaving used it before, butEfficiency’s Greg [Ross, Slide Railmanager] and Rod [Austin, SlideRail specialist] did a great job ofteaching us how to use the systemproperly. We were very impressedat how quickly and easily the sys-tem went in, and came out of theground.”
“It’s always interesting to see thereaction of contractors the firsttime they use Slide Rail,” Rosssaid. “The first day, they usuallyare intrigued on how and if it’sgoing to work; the second day,there is usually a bit of consterna-tion as they have to overcomeunexpected ground conditions try-ing to put the system in one pieceat a time; but by the third day, theyreally get the hang of it, and theyreally start to figure out that this isa great system.”
Hubbard had the Slide RailSystem on rent for two months,and its team got the first valveinstalled a week ahead of schedule,which allowed ample time to com-plete the work at the second bay.Hubbard used a Cat 450 excavatorand Komatsu JJ4 front loader toexcavate at each location. The pipecrew installing the valve and new24 in. (61 cm) HDPE pipe wereAlliance Contracting, located in St.

To shore tightly around and along side of the gas main, Hubbardutilized Efficiency’s sheeting guide frame panels that integratesinto the Slide Rail System by replacing an inside panel with theguide frame. The custom sheeting guide frame allows KD-750sheeting to be installed deeper into the excavation.

Efficiency’s Rod Austin (L) and Greg Ross taught HubbardConstruction employees how the system works.

NYC Team Bringing Transitional Shelters to HaitiBy Karen MatthewsASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
NEW YORK (AP) A team of New Yorkarchitects flew to Haiti with prototypes of anoctagonal vinyl structure they hope willhelp house some of the 1.5 million Haitiansstill homeless because of the Jan. 12 earth-quake.
The first of the aluminum-and-steeloctagonal structures will be built in Jacmelin southern Haiti under an arrangement withthe nonprofit group Rural Haiti Project.Each has 166 sq. ft. (15.4 sq m) of space andis designed to withstand wind, hurricanesand earthquakes.
Haiti’s housing shortage is acute, withhomeless camps growing instead of shrink-ing as even more people leave standinghomes in search of aid or unable to pay rent.Others are afraid to return to the thousandsof homes rated safe to enter, unsure ofwhether another quake will come.
“There are people who are in these vul-nerable conditions every day that can’t live
in those situations very long without gettingsick,” said architect Rodney Leon, projectmanager of the octagonal shelter. “So wewanted to find something that was some-where between a tent and a permanenthouse.”
Deutsche Bank provided a $50,000 chal-lenge grant for the project, calledHaitiSOFTHOUSE, and organizers haveraised most of the other $50,000, said GaryHattem, president of the Deutsche BankAmericas Foundation. The structures can bemass produced for less than $3,000 each.
One of the structures designed by Leon— who also designed the African BurialGround National Monument — went ondisplay June 3 at the bank’s U.S. headquar-ters on Wall Street.
“This is so far superior to the tent com-munities that people are in,” Hattem said.
The SOFTHOUSE units can be clusteredfor extended families or for use as a schoolor clinic. The units can be assembled in oneday and, weighing about 400 lbs. (180 kg),can be picked up and moved by hand. They
are designed to last up to five years. Architect Lonn Combs said the octagonal
shape is “inherently more rigid against lat-eral forces” than a square.
There has been no shortage of ideas fortransitional shelter — which many expertsbelieve will become permanent anyway. Formonths, entrepreneurs have visited officials,selling projects for house-building factories,experimental structures and prefabricatedhuts.
Meanwhile, navigating Haiti’s byzantine,corruption-addled customs system has beendifficult. Builders have complained ofdelays at ports and at the border, holding upconstruction.
Combs said there is no one single solu-tion to Haiti’s housing crisis.
“What makes us unique is that we haveaccess to a site in Jacmel right now,” he said.“We will be able to provide 20 units nextmonth in a kind of field test.”
The United Nations’ envoy to the Haitianreconstruction committee, Edmond Mulet,told the group at its meeting on June 2 that
Haiti’s struggling democracy is in jeopardyif earthquake survivors’ lives are notimproved.
“The longer that the victims continue liv-ing in precarious conditions, the more theywill have reason to be discontent,” Muletsaid at the meeting in the Dominican resortof Punta Cana. “That discontent can bemanipulated for political ends.”
The committee is led by former U.S.President Bill Clinton and Haitian PrimeMinister Jean-Max Bellerive. Clinton, whoheads the committee overseeing Haiti’sreconstruction money, advocated a USAID-funded project in the capital region to build125,000 temporary shelters at a cost of$1,300 each. The structures could be mademore permanent with optional upgrades.
The problem, aid workers told him, isfinding landowners willing to turn overproperty to become hardened long-termcommunities. Those could easily becomenew shantytowns, with no plans for newtenants to pay rent or become property own-ers themselves.
