ARTBA Says Strong SupportConsistent in Last 4 ElectionsVoters on Nov. 6 demonstrated once again
the importance of transportation by approv-ing 68 percent of the measures to increase orextend funding for highways, bridges andtransit, an American Road & TransportationBuilders Association (ARTBA) reviewfound. The association tracked 31 measures
overall — five were statewide initiatives and26 were local. All of the seven bond initia-tives were approved by voters. Eighteenmeasures were for increasing, extending orrenewing a sales tax for transportation pur-poses, two were property taxextensions and one was for alocal gas tax. The total valueapproved was $2.4 billion. The results are consistent
with previous elections,ARTBA said. In 2010, vot-ers approved 61 percent ofsimilar measures, 78 percentin 2008, 77 percent in 2006and 76 percent in 2004. “The results show the
American people are look-ing for solutions to addresstheir transportation chal-lenges and are willing to paymore if they know the rev-enue generated will be usedfor its intended purpose,”said ARTBA Chief Economist Alison PremoBlack, who compiled the list. Three of the four statewide measures to
raise additional transportation funds passedwith an average approval rate of 63 percent.Arkansas voters approved a one-half centincrease in the state sales tax to cover a $1.3billion bond issue for roads and bridges. Thetemporary sales and use tax will help fundimprovements for state highways andbridges, county roads, city streets and othersurface transportation. Alaska votersapproved a bond issue of $453.5 million fortransportation.Although a strong majority of voters (65
percent) in Los Angeles, Calif., supportedMeasure J, which would have extended the30-year one-half cent sales tax passed in2008 for an additional 30 years, the ballotinitiative needed a 66 percent super majorityfor approval. The current sales tax measure
is set to expire in 2039. Had the measurepassed, it would have extended the currentsales tax to 2069. Three ballot initiatives did not specifically
ask voters to increase funding for roads,bridges or transit, but they did address trans-portation issues. Voters in Michigan openeda path to one of the largest bridge projects inthe nation by rejecting an initiative thatwould have required a statewide referendumbefore building an international crossing toCanada. The referendum was initiated bythe owner of the Ambassador Bridge to pre-
vent a new crossing over the Detroit River.Earlier this year, the Canadian governmentannounced an agreement with MichiganGov. Rick Snyder (R) to build and pay for anew, publicly owned bridge betweenWindsor, Ontario, and Detroit, just 2 mi.south of the Ambassador Bridge. TheCanadian Transport Minister said the bridgewill now be built “as soon as possible.” Thecost of the project is estimated to be $1 bil-lion.Voters in Cornelius, Ore., rejected a meas-
ure to repeal the local fuel tax, which is usedto improve roads. Residents of VirginiaBeach, Va., approved a nonbinding referen-dum in support of having the local city coun-cil explore extending a local light rail systeminto the city. A complete copy of ARTBA’s report can
be found in “current issues” of the “govern-ment affairs” section of www.artba.org.

Arkansas Approves $37.8MContract to Widen HighwayLITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) The Arkansas
Highway Commission has awarded a $37.8million contract to widen a highway that willprovide a direct, four-lane route betweenLittle Rock and Jonesboro. The commission approved a contract for
Arkansas 226, which will link U.S. 49 nearJonesboro to U.S. 67 near Newport. Theproject involves the construction of twomore lanes for about 3 mi. (4.8 km) onArkansas 226 from its new connector to U.S.49 at Gibson, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. Robertson Contractors Inc., of Poplar
Bluff, Mo., submitted the lowest bid for theproject, which when finished will speed uptraffic between the state capital andJonesboro, the Craighead County seat. Eightother contractors submitted bids rangingfrom $38.4 million to $44.2 million.
Another contract will be awarded laterthis year to widen 1.85 mi. (3 km) ofArkansas 226 west to the future Cashbypass. The commission also awarded contracts
for five major projects in north and north-west Arkansas. Those projects include:$13.9 million for Arkansas 5 in StoneCounty, $6.21 million for Arkansas 16 inFayetteville, $5.4 million for Arkansas 265in Springdale, $4.39 million for Interstate540 in Washington County and $4.5 millionfor Arkansas 5 in Baxter County. Also Sept. 12, the commission ratified the
initial $225 million bond sale for a $1.2 bil-lion interstate repair program that willfinance about 75 projects on 455 mi. (732km) of interstate. Voters approved renewal ofa $575 million bond program lastNovember.

New Orleans East…
HUD Paves Way for NewHospital in Katrina-Hit AreaNEW ORLEANS (AP) New Orleans
Mayor Mitch Landrieu has announced fed-eral mortgage insurance approval that willallow construction to begin on a full-servicehospital in New Orleans East — one of theareas devastated by flooding in 2005 whenlevees failed during Hurricane Katrina. Landrieu’s office said that the U.S.
Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment made a commitment to insurea $97.6 million loan for the hospital. Hisoffice said the project, valued at a total of$130 million, will restore full-service healthcare to residents in New Orleans East — anissue Landrieu has emphasized since takingoffice in May 2010. The new hospital is planned for the site of
the former Pendleton Memorial MethodistHospital. “Securing this funding is a critical mile-
stone for the New Orleans East communityand our entire city as we continue towards
our goal of a full service hospital.” saidKaren DeSalvo, city health commissioner. DeSalvo said an urgent care center that
has been operating helped demonstrate tofederal evaluators that there is a demand forhealth care services in the area. DeSalvo said the 80-bed hospital will
likely handle certain initial services, liketreating heart attacks or strokes, but morecomplex procedures would be referred toother hospitals in the area. However, she saidthat the city is exploring public-private part-nerships that could expand offerings at thefacility. The city expects to begin demolition of
some unwanted buildings at the site andwants to begin construction by November orDecember. In addition to the $97.6 million inloans, New Orleans officials have alreadysecured $48 million in grants and fundingfrom the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency.

Hensel Phelps Employs Local Subcontractors on Projectlaboratory/cleanrooms, parkinggarage, and a central utility plant.Following construction of the newfacility, the existing AFTAC head-quarters building will be demol-ished. “The Air Force Technical
Applications Center, located atPatrick AFB in Cocoa Beach, Fla.,provides national authorities quali-ty technical measurements to mon-itor nuclear treaty compliance,”said Susan A. Romano, director ofpublic affairs for the AFTAC. “Thecenter develops advanced prolifer-ation monitoring technologies topreserve our nation’s security. Toaccomplish that mission, AFTACoperates and maintains a globalnetwork of nuclear event detectionsensors called the U.S. AtomicEnergy Detection System, orUSAEDS (pronounced use-aids).Once the USAEDS senses a distur-bance underground, underwater inthe atmosphere or in space, theevent is analyzed for nuclear iden-tification and the findings arereported to national commandauthorities through HeadquartersAir Force.”Site preparation for the project
began in January 2012, and thebeneficial occupancy date is sched-uled for January 2014. The con-tract calls for a 276,000 sq. ft.(25,641sq m) headquarters facility,a 38,000 sq. ft. (3,530 sq m) radio-chemistry analysis laboratory, a23,000 sq. ft. (2,136 sq m) central
utility plant, and a five-story park-ing garage. The hardened facilitywill be able to withstand aCategory 3 hurricane. “Despite some tropical storms
that came through Central Floridaduring the summer months of2012, the project is currently onschedule,” Romano said. “Weathercan sometimes be thebiggest hindrance in CentralFlorida, especially duringhurricane season, butHensel Phelps establishedwork-around solutions tomake up for lost time due toinclement weather.”Romano noted that, since
January 2012, more than7,000 20-ton dump trucksthat imported fill dirt, a totalof 140,000 cu. yds. (107,037cu m), made a one-way, 20-mi. trip through BrevardCounty without incident andin sync with the federalinstallation through entrycontrol points. The fill dirtwas used to raise the foun-dation to the proper eleva-tion. In addition, 350 tons(317 t) of steel were deliv-ered to the site.“They completed all
Environmental Compliancerequirements and permitswith St. Johns River WaterManagement for theWetland Mitigation Projectprior to start of vertical con-struction,” she said.
“Partners worked together toaccomplish the construction andenvironmental monitoring criteriato complete the permit goals.”Romano reported that in Fiscal
Year 2011, this project was thelargest dollar-value MilitaryConstruction (MILCON) projectin the U.S. Air Force.
“The radiochemistry lab isunique,” she said. “There is noother lab like it in the Departmentof Defense. The U.S. Government(USG) for its nuclear treaty obliga-tions and the national technicalnuclear forensics effort relies onthe fusion of information fromcredible sources to identify radio-
logical or nuclear materials,devices and/or debris. Thesesources include lawenforcement agencies, intel-ligence information anddefense agencies. The AirForce — and AFTAC inparticular — offers capabil-ities that other civilian agen-cies cannot, such as theWC-135, an airborne plat-form that collects particu-lates and gaseous effluentsand debris and laboratorymanagement expertise.”Romano noted that the
facility meets the U.S.Green Building Council’sLeadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design(LEED) program require-ments for achieving anoverall “Silver” rating. Themajor significance of thatrating is a reduction of cur-rent energy use by nearly 20percent. The project is expected to
create more than 200 localjobs while generating nearly$140 million to the localeconomy through subcon-
tracting.“Hensel Phelps has gone to
great lengths to reach out to region-al subcontractors to keep the proj-ect local to Central Florida,”Romano said. Major subcontractors included
Don Luchetti Construction,Melbourne, Fla., for site/civil; MCDean, Tampa, Fla., forelectrical/communications; CCKCorporation, Orlando, Fla., forconcrete; Ivey’s Construction,Merritt Island, Fla. for steel erec-tion; Critchfield MechanicalSystems, San Jose, Cal., formechanical systems; BeyelBrothers, Orlando, Fla., for craneservices; Affiliated EngineersIncorporated, Madison, Wis., formechanical systems; ModernPlumbing, Winter Springs, Fla., forplumbing; and Steel ServicesCorporation, Jackson, Miss., forsteel fabrication.Major equipment used on the

Caterpillar Unveils First Hybrid Excavator, Cat 336E HCaterpillar Inc. unveiled the first model in
its new line of hybrid excavators, the Cat336E H, at its Mossville Industrial DesignCenter on Oct. 16 at a special trade pressevent, “The Next Generation is Here.” Thenew 336E H will be sold and serviced exclu-sively through the global Cat dealer networkfollowing the machine’s official launch atbauma 2013 in Munich, Germany. The orderboard for the Cat 336E H opens in Feb.2013, with factory shipments beginning inMarch 2013.The Cat 336E H uses a new hydraulic
hybrid technology developed by Caterpillar. “A hybrid is independent of any particular
technology — it doesn’t have to be electric,”said Ken Gray, global product manager oflarge hydraulic excavators for Caterpillar’sexcavation division. “There are many waysto store and reuse energy, including ourpatented hydraulic hybrid system featuredon the Cat 336E H.“Caterpillar has developed, built, and test-
ed electric hybrid excavators, but—untilnow—we had not found a hybrid approachthat would actually lower our customers’owning and operating costs,” Gray said.“Large excavators operate in high-produc-tion applications in which fuel is a very sig-nificant operating cost for our customers. So,the 336E H, the hybrid version of our work-horse 336E, is ideal for introducing our newhydraulic hybrid technology, with its morethan 300 filed patents.“We can’t wait to see the reaction of our
customers to the 336E H,” said Gray. “We’reconfident they will be delighted. No othercommercially available technology hashigher power density than hydraulics, andthat’s why we selected a hydraulic solutionto help our customers achieve substantialfuel savings. The 336E H also meets strin-gent Tier IV Interim/Stage IIIB emissionstandards. It is extraordinarily quiet, too. Soit’s a socially responsible machine for ourcustomers to own, and they will sacrificenothing in terms of performance, power,force, speed or production. Once more, theowning and operating costs for the 336E Hare actually lower than the standardmachine. That’s the value customers expectfrom Cat excavators.”“The 336E H is a game-changer — the
most revolutionary excavator to come tomarket in decades,” said Gary Stampanato,vice president of Caterpillar’s excavationdivision. “Customers aren’t going to choosethe 336E H simply because it is sustainable.They will select it because it actually lowerstheir owning and operating costs, and main-tains the performance of our industry leader,the 336E. Caterpillar has the most produc-tive and fuel-efficient excavator product linein the industry, and our customers are sup-ported by the best dealers in the world. The
336E H extends our leadership, is the rightthing to do for our customers and is a sign ofgreat things to come.”
gy centers on research and development inadvancing technology to meet customers’needs today, which is what the 336E Hdoes,” said Tana Utley, Caterpillar’s chieftechnology officer and vice president of theproduct development and global technologydivision. “We’re also continuously workingon innovations that we anticipate will meettheir future needs. That’s why we’re contin-uing our research and development in elec-tric hybrid technology too, which actuallybegan our hybrid development path severalyears ago.”“Caterpillar has an extraordinary team of
people working on hybrid technology solu-tions for the next generation of Cat hydraulicexcavators,” added Gray. “They are fromevery corner of the world, are among thevery best and brightest minds, and they arelistening very closely to our customers. It’sexciting for me to see their enthusiasm forthis project and the quality product they havedeveloped in the 336E H, and we’re just get-ting started.”“I am absolutely confident our engineers
will continue to discover and develop thebest hybrid approaches for Caterpillar’sextensive line of equipment and applica-tions, whether that’s some form of hydraulicor electric hybrid system or something as ofyet unknown,” Utley added. “At Caterpillar,we don’t simply engage in creating newtechnologies like the hydraulic hybrid sys-tem just for technology’s sake, or simply toprove that we can. Our technology strategy’sfocus never loses sight of what our research
and development efforts can mean to ourcustomers’ success — today and in thefuture.” Since the introduction of the 300 Series in
1994, the family of excavators has becomean industry standard in a large variety of gen-eral, quarry and heavy construction applica-tions. Caterpillar introduced the standard336E in 2010 as a direct replacement for the336D. The 336E was introduced primarily tomeet Tier IV Interim/Stage IIIB emissionsstandards, and like any new Cat machine, the336E includes several enhancements over itspredecessor, including more horsepowerwith greater fuel efficiency, more lift capa-bility, higher digging force and automaticaftertreatment regeneration, according to themanufacturer.The 336E H has all of the same powerful
advantages of the 336E with the biggest dif-ference between the two models being evengreater fuel efficiency. To achieve added fuelsavings, the design of the 336E H uses threebuilding block technologies that: • Conserve fuel with engine power man-
agement via the Cat electronic standardizedprogrammable (ESP) pump, which smooth-ly transitions between the hydraulic hybridpower sources, engine and accumulator. • Optimize performance using restriction
management via the Cat adaptive controlsystem (ACS) valve, which intelligentlymanages restrictions and flows to seamless-ly control machine motion with no loss ofpower, and to ensure operators experienceno difference in control, hydraulic power orlift capability. • Reuse energy via the hydraulic hybrid
swing system, which captures the excava-tor’s upper structure swing brake energy inaccumulators, and then releases the energyduring swing acceleration.
Fuel SavingsThe 336E H delivers up to 50 percent
greater fuel efficiency, which is measured intons per liter, over the 336D. Customers canexpect the 336E H to use up to 25 percentless fuel compared to a standard 336E, andup to 33 percent less fuel than the 330/336D.All three of the technology building blocks,conserve, optimize and reuse, are integratedtogether to maximize fuel savings in a vari-ety of applications. Even in low-intensityswing applications, customers will still expe-rience significant fuel savings because of theconserve and optimize technologies, accord-ing to the manufacturer.
Return on Hybrid InvestmentBecause the 336E H burns less fuel and
reduces regulated engine emissions, owningand operating costs will be dramaticallylower compared to the standard machine,and its carbon footprint will be smaller, aswell. Precisely when customers will recouptheir initial investment in a 336E H dependson fuel prices and their applications.Assuming today’s fuel prices and a high-production application for a 336E H,Caterpillar estimates customers can realisti-cally expect to see a return on their invest-ment for the hybrid excavator model in as lit-tle as one year.
Durable and ReliableCaterpillar designed the 336E H to deliv-
er the same durability and reliability cus-tomers expect of all Cat machines, includinglarge excavators like the standard 336E. Thedesign of the 336E H uses Cat hydrauliccomponents with a long track record of dura-bility and reliability for maximum uptimeand productivity. Also like a standardmachine, 336E H components can bereplaced or rebuilt to maximize the hybrid’sservice life.
ValidationCustomers have been using field follow
machines, which are first productionmachines built for customer acceptance test-ing, to validate fuel burn, controllability, reli-ability and performance of the 336E H. In aformal production study completed inAugust 2012, results included greater fuelefficiency, and lower cab and spectator noiselevels than the 336E and 336D. Additionally,the ACS valve, which intelligently managesrestrictions and flows to seamlessly controlmachine motion, has been in the field since2008 with increased performance and relia-bility. The ACS and hybrid system also haveproven to work well together to maximizeperformance and controllability of worktools, including hammers, shears and grap-ples, according to the manufacturer.
The 336E H is the hybrid version of the 336E.

Prices ‘Mixed’ in Oct. ReportThe producer price index for inputs to
construction — covering materials that gointo every type of project, plus items con-sumed by contractors such as diesel fuel —decreased 0.4 percent in October, followingincreases of 0.9 percent in both Septemberand August. The index climbed 2.0 percentin the 12 months ending in October.Meanwhile, the indexes that reflect whatcontractors would charge for their workwere largely unchanged and mostly rose lessthan materials costs over 12 months — 1.0percent for industrial buildings, 1.4 percentfor new office construction, 1.5 percent forschools, and 2.6 percent for new warehous-es.
Simonson said prices for essential con-struction materials were mixed in October.The price index for diesel fuel rose 2.3 per-cent in October and 12.6 percent over 12months. Prices for copper and brass millshapes climbed 2.8 percent in October and4.7 percent year-over-year. In contrast, theindex for steel mill products dropped 1.9 per-cent for the month and 8.5 percent for theyear. The index for lumber and plywoodshrank 1.8 percent in October but was 6.2percent higher than a year ago. Indexes forgypsum products and insulation materialsboth fell 0.7 percent for the month but roserelative to October 2011 — by 14.1 percent
and 5.5 percent respectively.“Many of these price changes appear to be
short-term,” Simonson commented. “Whileretail diesel prices have dropped 15 cents pergallon in the past three weeks and copperfutures have declined, steel, gypsum andeven concrete suppliers have announcedhefty price hikes for December or January.As a result, contractors who have already bidto install these materials at fixed prices maybe headed for losses, and even bankruptcy.”
Association officials said declining publicinvestments in infrastructure and businesses’reluctance to commit to investments in theface of the “fiscal cliff” are forcing contrac-tors to keep bids low.
“With so few projects to bid on, contrac-tors are offering their services with little orno margin to cover materials costs,” saidStephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chiefexecutive officer, noting that recent CensusBureau data showed a 4.2 percent drop inpublic construction spending and a slacken-ing in the growth of private nonresidentialconstruction between September 2011 andSeptember 2012.
“Congress and the administration have tofind a way to avoid the catastrophic increas-es in taxes and cuts in infrastructure spend-ing that threaten many construction firmsand risk putting their employees out ofwork.”

Post-Storm Construction Hiring MayBoost Industry, Aid U.S. EconomyBy Alex Veiga and Matthew PerroneAP BUSINESS WRITERS
Hiring in the long-depressed U.S. construction industrywill get a boost from the rebuilding that will followSuperstorm Sandy. Those jobs, in turn, could raise econom-ic growth, analysts say. The modest lift to the economy is expected to come in the
first months of 2013. Construction firms, contractors andlocal governments will hire to rebuild or renovate homes,buildings, roads and bridges that were damaged ordestroyed. “This is going to be a net positive, particularly in the mid-
Atlantic,” said Sophia Koropeckyj, managing director ofMoody’s Economy.com. Sandy inflicted up to $50 billion in estimated losses from
property damage, lost business and additional living costs.The damage was concentrated near the coastlines of NewJersey and New York. Construction jobs are especially vital to the economy. Pay
is higher than average: At $25.86, average hourly pay topsthe average of $23.58 for all U.S. private-sector jobs — andis far above the averages for areas like retail ($16.43) andleisure and hospitality, which includes restaurants and hoteljobs ($13.35). In addition, job growth in construction typically spurs hir-
ing for other jobs, like architects, real estate agents and sell-ers of appliances, building materials and office equipment.The stocks of home-improvement retailers like HomeDepot (up more than 3 percent) and Lowe’s (up nearly 6percent) surged even as overall stock prices were flat. Boats and cars destroyed by Sandy also will have to be
replaced, likely leading to some increased manufacturing. Economists caution that the construction hiring may be
only modest and will likely boost the economy only slight-ly. And the storm damage could slow growth a bit in the cur-rent October-December quarter. Factories, oil refineries,restaurants and stores that were closed or disrupted will cuthours or jobs. Some consumers will earn and spend less asa result. And some construction projects that had been set tostart will have to be canceled or put off. In the current quarter, the storm will slow the economy’s
annual growth rate by a slight two-tenths of 1 percentagepoint, predicted Mark Vitner, senior economist at WellsFargo. But Vitner thinks reconstruction will speed the econ-omy by the same amount in both the first and second quar-ters of 2013. Last quarter, the economy grew at an estimat-ed 2 percent annual rate. Any help for construction could help invigorate the econ-
omy. Since the Great Recession ended nearly 3 and a halfyears ago, economic growth has been slowed by lost con-struction jobs and diminished residential and commercialbuilding. Most of the rebuilding won’t start right away, analysts
noted. Insurance claims must first be settled. Governmentmoney will need to be allocated in some areas. And if thenortheast winter is severe, much work will have to be put offuntil spring. Once construction firms step up hiring in the first few
months of next year, Koropeckyj foresees a beneficial rip-ple effect. “Not only will it help construction directly, but also the
building supply stores, wholesale trade,” she said. “It’sgoing to be helping the automotive industry by boostingdemand for utility trucks and pickup trucks.” The need for rebuilding is widespread in the areas hit by
the storm. Along New Jersey’s 127-mi. (204 km) coastline,for example, Sandy wrecked thousands of homes, frommultimillion-dollar houses to modest bungalows, alongwith boardwalks, roads and bridges. “I have construction companies calling me — companies
from North Carolina that have moved up here and want topartner up with us,” said James Jefferson, co-owner ofProperty Services Integrated, a contractor in Jersey City.“We’ll hire another manager, if not two managers, andanother person in the office. We’ll probably pick up a hand-ful or six new carpenters.” Some contractors and construction firms could face a
shortage of the skilled workers they need for rebuilding.Many lost jobs and left the industry after the housing melt-down all but froze demand for construction. Nearly 30 per-cent of the industry’s jobs vanished. Their loss has been a chronic drag on the economy.
Typically, once recessions end, construction booms andfuels a new economic expansion. That didn’t happen afterthe recession officially ended in June 2009, which helpsexplain why growth and hiring have remained subpar since. Construction has begun to recover. In October, U.S.
home construction reached its fastest rate in more than fouryears — a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000.That’s more than 82 percent above the recession low. Yet it’s still well short of the 1.5 million annual rate con-
sidered healthy and the 2 million-plus homes that werebegun at the peak of the housing boom in 2007. Just in NewJersey, construction employment since the boom has shrunkby a third, or 60,000 — 12,000 of them this year. “It’s going to be harder for construction firms to find
these by-definition experienced workers,” said KenSimonson, chief economist of the Associated GeneralContractors of America. “Given that it’s been six years of nonet gain in [construction] employment, I think a lot of themwould be hesitant to say ‘I’ll drop the job I’ve now found orgive up on the training that I’m getting and go back to con-struction.”’ Some construction companies have struggled to find car-
penters or wallboard installers, in addition to pipe-fitters andwelders who have migrated to the oil and natural gas indus-tries, Simonson said. Still, most economists expect the sudden demand for con-
struction jobs to draw more workers into the industry, atleast temporarily. “We will see not only construction workers in the north-
eastern part of the country, but workers from around thecountry will be flocking to the area,” said Sung Won Sohn,an economics professor at the Martin Smith School ofBusiness at California State University. “I think it will be a significant boost to the construction
industry.”

50 ton (45 t) 5051 travelingaxle trailer has beendesigned for customersthat need to comply with43-ft. (13 m) kingpin lawsand regulations. Kingpin laws vary state
to state but generally applyto any trailer longer than48 ft. (14.6 m) and lessthan 53 ft. (16 m). Theseregulations typically dic-tate the maximum distancefrom the kingpin to the lastaxle must measure 43 ft. orless. Adding to its series oftraveling axle trailers,Talbert pushed the decklength to the limit, designing a 51-ft. (15.5m) traveling axle trailer to maximize thelower deck length and still meet the 43-ft.kingpin law. Talbert’s TA Series trailers are known for
their six-degree load angle. This gradualslope is ideal for the towing and recoveryindustry, as well as rental equipment andsmall to midsize construction equipmentwith low ground clearances, such as rollersand pavers.
The 15,000-lb. (6,804 kg) planetarywinch, which comes standard on all trailersin Talbert’s 50-Ton TA Series, provides cus-tomers with an efficient winch. The plane-tary winch uses a direct-drive system andoffers up to twice the loading speed of theworm gear winch. Operators can runTalbert’s planetary winch through a multi-function wireless remote, which allows oneperson to load a piece of equipment withoutleaving the trailer. This is ideal for loading
inoperable cars or machinery, according tothe manfuacturer.For reliable performance in heavy-duty
industries, Talbert’s 5051TA also comprisesa T-1 & 80K steel beam constructed frame-work and 4-in. (10 cm) I-beam crossmem-bers on 9-in. (22.8 cm) centers to accommo-date more concentrated loads. Further, the I-beam construction prevents corrosion,unlike boxed crossmenbers that tend to rustfrom the inside out.
Other standard features include 1½-in.(3.8 cm) apitong flooring as well as side andcenter tie-downs. Apitong is a tightly woven,highly dense wood that provides a longerwear life because it is less susceptible tochipping or cracking than other deck materi-als. Side and center tie-down slots areinstalled for greater loading ease and appli-cation flexibility.For more information, call 800/348-5232

The Gehl vertical-lift V400 skid loaderboasts a rated operating capacity of 4,000lbs. (1,814 kg) and a true vertical lift heightof 144 in. (365 cm). The all-new V400 is a true vertical lift
machine, which means the lift path follows avertical line as opposed to an “s” shaped pathoffered by other vertical-lift models. Liftingup to 144 in., the V400 can easily load hightrailers and trucks. “Gehl is excited to regain the throne as the
world’s largest skid loader,” said SeanBifani, product manager. “The V400 fulfillsthe market’s demand for a high capacity skidloader. Paired with its high lifting height, theV400 enters the high-end of the skid loadermarket, where product options are minimal.The V400 provides maximum capacity andthe industry’s largest breakout force at 9,150lbs.”The V400 comes equipped with a power-
ful Cummins diesel engine providing 326ft.-lbs. (442 Nm) of torque and 99 gross hp(74 kW). The hydraulic fan with swing-outcooler reduces fuel consumption and noiselevels, and provides improved service
access. All daily maintenance and servicechecks can be performed through the largerear engine hood.When maximum hydraulic power is need-
ed to run demanding attachments, the V400skid loader is equipped with the tools to getthe job done right. High system pressure,with optional high-flow of up to 40.8 gpm(154 Lpm), is designed to handle virtuallyevery high-performance attachment.Standard Hydraglide ride control allows thelift arm to “float” when transporting loads,minimizing loss of material and offeringincreased operator comfort.The new operator’s compartment features
improved ergonomics and comfort. Thestandard level II ROPS/FOPS cab-forwarddesign optimizes the view to the bucket. Aside-folding restraint bar with adjustablearmrests increases operator safety and com-fort. An optional pressurized cab enclosurewith sound reduction material and a rear-mounted air filter provides a cleaner and qui-eter operating environment.For more information, call 800/628-0491

EVERYTHING YOU VALUE
Facility Aims to Increase EmploymentDobrogosz made “hundreds of presentations” after unveilinghis vision at a special event in 2005 featuring Jack Hannah,director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo. His legwork paid off in 2008 when the Greensboro City
Council picked up the idea. Soon afterwards, they put a $20million bond referendum up for vote. “It was the only one up for vote in 2009,” Dobrogosz
recalled. “It got an overwhelming response: a 61 percentmajority. It was clear that Greensboro wanted to do some-thing different, The time was ripe for new, innovative waysto create economic standing.”An economic impact study indicates that the new facility
could bring in $15 to 25 million per year through tourismand staffing. Dobrogosz anticipates a 50 percent increase infull-time staff plus additional seasonal employees — andthere could be even more with future phases. “The SciQuarium is just the first phase in the center’s
vision to build what will ultimately become the most diversescience destination in the state,” heexplained. “As Greensboro votersagreed, our ‘one-stop-shop for science’approach will allow visitors to experi-ence an accredited aquarium, sciencemuseum and zoological park all in onecost-effective attraction. Hands-on edu-cation and economic development werethe cornerstones for why Greensborovoters overwhelmingly approved thisproject, and we intend to honor theirsupport.”
Converting Vision into DesignThe budget for the 250,000-gal.
(946,353 L) interactive aquarium,more than 75 species of animals and astingray touch tank consists of $9 mil-lion in voter-approved bonds and $1million in matching private funds. The other $10 million is planned for
renovation and expansion of existingparts of the center. Phase 2 will includeupdates to the current 68,000-sq.-ft.(6,317 sq m) museum, and Phase 3 will include new animalsin an exhibit called Endangered Species Village. “We’ll spend $10 million now, $5 million in two years and
$5 million in another two years,” Dobrogosz calculated.Because the bulk of funding came from public money,
they had to go through the bid process. Even so, extensivenegotiations with the chosen contractor — New AtlanticContracting Inc. of Winston-Salem — were required toreach a $700,000 cost reduction without diminishing keyexhibits and visitor experiences.Architects and designers with experience in the zoo and
aquarium world were pre-qualified. Next, they solicited bidsand conducted lengthy interviews. Experienced aquariumdesigners Cambridge Seven Associates Inc. and local archi-tects Moser-Mayer Phoenix & Associates were chosen in2010. “The national group did the aquarium design,” Dobrogosz
explained. “We chose local architects to save money; theydid the civil stuff, the simple work.”The staff was intimately involved in design and species
choice, Dobrogosz indicated. Their first duty was to selecthigh-impact, cost-appropriate animal species that wouldboth inspire visitors and maximize the center’s involvementin endangered species breeding programs. Criteria included:• ability to manage the exhibits: “no whales”• visitor interest: staff observed visitors at other aquariums
to determine interest and “stay” time• endangered species for breeding in the species survival
program to ensure the facility remains “news worthy.”“We worked with the staff on the plan and visitor flow,”
said Peter Sollogub, associate principal, Cambridge SevenAssociates Inc., “but Glenn had the vision. He wanted inter-active exhibits.” To ensure that everyone involved was on the same page,
monthly meetings were held, beginning in August 2010. “We made drawings, brought in engineers and met regu-
larly,” Sollogub remembered. “There are many levels in thisproject: animal care, visitor experience, traffic flow, budg-et… But the welfare of the animals is fundamental.”
For the Animals“Animal habitat is number one,” Dobrogosz confirmed. Six major aquarium exhibits will highlight aquatic life in
various settings. The biggest attraction in the SciQuariumwill be a 100,000-gal. (37,854 L) shark tank with coral reefand an abyss where the two dramatically converge. In addi-tion, a hands-on sting ray touch tank, a penguin exhibit, a
new otter exhibit, an Amazon rainforestexhibit, an exhibit about endangeredfishing cats and jewel tanks for “freaksof nature” demonstrating the diversityof life and the Amazon River basin areplanned. One aquarium will be used byMaster’s degree students of veterinaryscience and husbandry for quarantiningand water testing. All the exhibitsrequire major water filtration. “We’ll use bio filters, fan filters, pro-
tein fractionators and other systems todemonstrate the various ways peoplemimic nature to purify water,”Dobrogosz said.But before water can be filtered, it
must be confined. Developing tanksand enclosing buildings are the first ofthe sequenced steps, explainedSollogub. Working in the six separateenvironments simultaneously, crewsconstruct the concrete tanks with rebar.Because some of the concrete rebatesfor the tanks were too small or too big
by a couple of inches, Dobrogosz said, crews had to cut theacrylic to fit or weld on extra material.Acrylic panels are installed to separate people from ani-
mals. They are very precise, molded pieces of acrylic built inColorado by hand. These large pieces are up to four inchesthick, depending on water depth, and have no mullions inorder to convey transparency. Fitting them in the NorthCarolina aquarium is a difficult process.“The first window is 10 by 18 [feet],” Sollogub said. “It
was placed in the ocean tank — the biggest tank — by scis-sor and fork lifts. We used small equipment to place them:no cranes.” The tank was then filled and watched for 48 hours to
check for leaks. The acrylic must hold water with differentwater systems, temperatures, quality and chemistry.Once waterproofing and water testing are completed,
“then the fun begins,” Dobrogosz said. The exhibit is readyfor lighting and the habitat. Although most aquariums usual-ly use artificial light to reduce algae, the SciQuarium will uselight tubes to allow natural sunlight in certain habitats. Usinga clay model and reference pictures, specialists mold featuresfor the habitat by hand.
For the VisitorsA new exterior product from Spain imparts the elegant
look of wood to the exterior. “It’s classy,” Dobrogosz described it, adding that animal
Science City USA will be a singlecampus with an accredited park,aquarium and school. Its crown-ing glory is the 22,000-sq.-ft. (2,044sq m), LEED-designed SciQuariumunder construction, the state’sonly center-of-state aquarium.

The Association of EquipmentManufacturers (AEM) announced the2012 inductees into the AEM Hall ofFame, which recognizes and celebratesoutstanding individuals in the off-roadequipment industry, and their legacy ofinnovation, service and leadership.Their vision and hard work have beencritical to advancing global economicand social prosperity; their legacystrengthens continued industry contri-butions to improving quality of life,and serves as an inspiration for tomor-row’s leaders, according to the AEM.AEM Hall of Fame inductees have
been evaluated by an independentpanel of industry experts on five crite-ria that are vital to the health of the off-road equipment manufacturing indus-try: 1) innovation, 2) industry contribu-tions, 3) leadership, 4) corporate citi-zenship/social responsibility and 5)sustainability.
The 2012 AEM Hall of Fame Inductees
John Deere (Deere & Company)John Deere was a leader in his day in
vision, innovation and improving thequality of life for his fellow citizens.The company marks its 175th anniver-sary in 2012, recognizing the signifi-cant influence Deere has had for
almost two centuries in equipmentmanufacturing — an impact theIllinois blacksmith could not haveimagined when he was first compelledto create tools that have evolved intomachinery that helps build and feed theworld.“John Deere” has been synonymous
with equipment almost since JohnDeere moved from New England toGrand Detour, Ill., where his skills as ablacksmith were immediately indemand. Deere ultimately took hisbusiness to Moline, Ill., which hadaccess to better transportation routesand essential energy sources.If Deere could have seen the future
in 1837 when he created his innovativeself-scouring plow for midwesternfarmers, he would have been amazedand proud to see that his namesakecompany would become a worldleader in machinery manufacturing.Deere built a global company on the
core values of integrity, quality, com-mitment and innovation — one thatproduces machinery with a myriad ofapplications in agriculture, construc-tion, forestry and turf care. John Deeremade an everlasting mark and earnedhis place in the AEM Hall of Famethrough the development of equipment

Grand Opening Slated in 2013banners provide a lot of “pop.” Other than the unusual material, it’s a rel-
atively conventional building, Sollogubbelieves, and tanks are made of convention-al material. What makes this project uniqueare the animals and the philosophy of mixinglife science with visitor experience. “I’ve done a lot of aquariums globally, but
I’m really excited for this project; it’s veryspecial,” Sollogub stated.Dobrogosz hopes everyone feels the same
way. Already ranked number three in fieldtrip destinations, the Natural Science Centerwill become a three-in-one destination whenwork is completed, and also will offer travel-ling exhibits. For those coming to theGreensboro attraction, there will be hands-on SciPod education stations with focustanks providing habitats for species related tothe feature habitats and interactive exhibitsassociated with each of the habitats. A dra-matic new lobby will feature a submarine. Abathroom will be added. The new gift shopopened in October and the first-ever café,Meerkat Café, opens in March.An art feature is planned and someday
Dobrogosz envisions a high school on site. “A hundred to 150 students would start as
museum curators. Every subject would bebased on science. In addition to catering toK-12 students, the Center will offer a collegedegree program. Students in the Zoo &
Aquarium Science program can do labshere,” Dobrogosz explained.It’s Dobrogosz’s intention to “hit every
audience.” Maximizing the full demograph-ic adds another dimension to the visitorexperience — and helps pay the bill byattracting a larger range of people. Moreimportantly, it integrates the community.After all, it was the passion of the communi-ty to do something unique and different thatmade it all possible. Already he said they’vereceived requests for special events such ascorporate parties and weddings. In addition,membership is up.
Countdown The grand opening is still nearly a year
away. “We were supposed to get the keys in
December, but now it looks like Feb. 15-March 15,” Dobrogosz estimated. “Delaysare common in the aquarium world and thereare always surprises in construction.”There have been no major changes in the
plan, so he’s hopeful that the new target dateis realistic. Because it will take an additionaltwo to three months to get the animals to theSciQuarium and quarantined, he anticipatesopening between May 15-June 15, 2013.

John Deere Named to AEM’s 2012 Hall of Fame Classmanufacturing to its status today asa key contributor to our economicwell-being and quality of life.
Pierre Bataille (Poclain)Pierre Bataille was an industry
innovator and a responsible leader,contributing to economic develop-ment in France while improvingquality of life for his workforceand the industry.The technology he helped
develop, high pressure hydraulics,played a part in the huge increasein productivity for agriculturalworks, handling operations andearthmoving. He was a pioneer indevelopment of the hydraulicexcavator. He was the instigator touse production assembly lines forexcavators in the early 1960s,increasing production and reliabili-ty; his concept of the swing driveand boom remain a standard today.A leader in social responsibility,
Bataille offered interest-free loansto his employees, a majority ofwhom were former farmers livingin poor conditions who then moreeasily became homeowners. He
developed a technical training cen-ter to provide workers and excava-tor operators with job training.Bataille established one of the firststaffed company cafeterias for hisemployees and a network of busesto safely transport them to andfrom work; while not a widespreadpractice in the 1960s, Bataille insti-tuted noise-reduction measures inthe plant and on excavators.Bataille’s civic service included
leadership of French standardiza-tion and business developmentorganizations, and he also servedas president of the Committee forEuropean ConstructionEquipment. In 1990, Bataille wasawarded the rank of officer of theLegion of Honor by the Frenchgovernment in recognition of hisentrepreneurial leadership.
Wood Brothers — Keith,Leonard and Mervel (WoodsEquipment Company)Keith, Leonard and Mervel
Wood were problem solvers, risktakers and entrepreneurs who usedthese skills to fuel their drive forinventing and manufacturing. As
pioneers in the development ofrotary cutters and mowers, theWood brothers helped create aprevalent product category for theshort line industry.One invention that dramatically
affected the agricultural industry isthe company’s iconic Batwing
rotary cutter, known generically asthe flex-wing rotary cutter, firstshipped in 1963. Other key inven-tions include the single V-belt drivesystem, used on virtually all resi-dential and commercial mowers inuse today, and the single attach-ment pin blade retention system, a
design still used on most Woodscutters today.The brothers sought to adapt
their equipment to all types, sizesand models of trac tors, includingtwo adaptors that were predeces-sors of today’s standard 3-pointhitch. In the 1970s, the Woodbrothers elevated product supportto a new level, ensuring sales andservice were available across thecountry in the days beforeovernight delivery.Starting the company after
World War II in Oregon, Illinois,the Wood brothers contributedgreatly to job creation and devel-opment of skilled labor in theregion, training thousands aswelders, machinists, metal fab -ricators, painters, engineers andoffice personnel. Sustainability forthe brothers was always aboutdoing right, for example, metalscrap recycling (not widespread inthe ’40s and ’50s).Nominations for the next Hall of
Fame will open in June 2013.For more information, visit
