NCI Building System Employees Receive STEP AwardTeresa Lee and Arlene Gonzalez, of
Houston-based NCI Building Systems, haveeach been recognized by The ManufacturingInstitute and partners with the inauguralWomen in Manufacturing STEP (Science,Technology, Engineering and Production)Award for excellence and leadership in man-ufacturing. Lee and Gonzalez join select honorees
from across the country, representing all lev-els of manufacturing from the factory floorto the C-suite. In Texas, they roseto the top.“In an industry where there
are far more men than women inleadership positions, Teresa andArlene have both truly stood outas being highly capable andclearly worthy of recognitionthrough both their work ethicand a superlative commitment toquality,” said Tom Boal, vicepresident of engineering anddrafting, NCI Building Systems. “They each played an integral
role in launching ourExpressPlusä program and thengrowing it into something thatcan be called a remarkable suc-cess, by any measure. It’s an
honor for me to see them recognized fortheir individual and collaborative efforts.”Following the acquisition of
SteelBuilding.com in 2005, a project knownas ExpressPlus was initiated in the spring of2007 to enhance the online customer experi-ence. Lee was then charged with evaluatingthe existing e-commerce business and trans-forming it into a profitable and efficientonline business model for the NCI BuildingsDivision.
The Web-based system was built to helpconfigure, price and sell metal buildings.After implementing a successful new modeland then serving as the production managerthe first few years, Lee passed the day-to-day responsibilities to Gonzalez in 2010,who oversees all orders from the initial quotestage to customer support, continuingthrough delivery. From the growth perspective, Gonzalez
has effectively doubled the operation each ofthe first two years she’s had it.Both share credit for the successof ExpressPlus and remainimportant as the business movesinto the future. The STEP Awards are part of
the larger STEP Ahead initiativelaunched by The ManufacturingInstitute, Deloitte, University ofPhoenix and the Society ofManufacturing Engineers toexamine and promote the role ofwomen in the manufacturingindustry through recognition,research, and best practices forattracting, advancing and retain-ing strong female talent.“These hardworking women
are the faces of exciting careers
in manufacturing,” said Jennifer McNelly,president, The Manufacturing Institute. “We chose to honor these women because
they each made significant achievements inmanufacturing through positive impact ontheir company and the industry as a whole.” A 2011 survey from Deloitte and The
Manufacturing Institute found that nearly 70percent of American manufacturing compa-nies have a moderate to severe shortage ofavailable, qualified workers. Manufacturing companies cannot fill as
many as 600,000 skilled positions, even asunemployment numbers hover at historical-ly high levels. Additionally, labor statisticsshow that women are underrepresented inthe manufacturing workforce and in manu-facturing leadership ranks — a situation thatmust be reversed to preserve and grow theindustry. On Feb. 5, The Manufacturing Institute
and its STEP Ahead initiative partners willrecognize Lee, Gonzalez and other recipi-ents of the STEP Awards at a reception inWashington, D.C. The STEP Awards pro-gram will highlight each honoree’s story,including their leadership and accomplish-ments in manufacturing.

‘Dump Hunger’ Campaign to Fill Five Dump Trucks With FoodWhen the calendar turns to
January, donations to local foodbanks drop dramatically — a 36percent decrease on average inIdaho alone. In 2008, the Dump Hunger cam-
paign planned to fill one dumptruck with 75,000 lbs. of food andsupport local food banks whendonations are needed most. Five years and nearly two mil-
lion lbs. of food later, the 2013Dump Hunger campaign launchedwith its loftiest goal yet. WesternStates CAT, Albertsons and WellsFargo plan to fill five dump trucksand raise 375,000 lbs. for commu-nity food banks across theIntermountain West.“Hunger is just as prevalent
today, if not greater, as it was whenwe launched Dump Hunger fiveyears ago to support the communi-ties we call home,” said WesternStates President Tom Harris. “Thisdaily struggle for many familiesdoesn’t change after the holidays.Due to the tremendous support ofour customers, employees and thegreat partners of Albertsons and
Wells Fargo we’re excited to fillthose trucks and give back to thecommunities we serve throughoutthe Intermountain West.”Dump Hunger kicked off in
early January and runs to Feb. 8throughout Idaho, westernWyoming and Montana, and east-ern Oregon and Washington. Thegoal of the 2013 campaign is to fillfive Cat 730 dump trucks, theindustry’s largest payload vehiclein its class, which are individuallycapable of holding 75,000 lbs. offood.Food donations to the campaign
can be made at any Western StatesCAT location, participatingAlbertsons stores or Wells Fargolocations. Western States CAT andWells Fargo locations also acceptmonetary contributions for thecampaign. Donations made toDump Hunger stay in the localcommunities, supporting foodbanks at the most critical time ofyear. Participating food banks withonline donation capabilities alsoare listed at www.western-statescat.com/dumphunger.
“We take pride in giving back tothe communities we serve, espe-cially when it involves fightinghunger,” said Mike Clawson, pres-ident of Albertsons IntermountainWest. “Dump Hunger has made atremendous impact in our neigh-borhoods when food banks needour help the most. We look forwardto seeing the passion and commit-ment of our team members, guestsand partners in action as we kickoff another successful campaign.”“Our team members are pas-
sionate about fighting hunger inour communities year round,” saidDon Melendez, Idaho Regionalpresident of Wells Fargo. “We takegreat pride in being a partner in theDump Hunger Campaign andhelping food banks around theregion start the year with plenty offood in their pantries.”In addition to customer food
donations, Albertsons will con-tribute $10,000 in food items andWells Fargo will donate $25,000cash to the participating food bankpartners involved with DumpHunger.
“We continue to see an increasein demand for our services, and theDump Hunger campaign is criticalto our post-holiday efforts to meetthis demand,” said Karen Vauk,president and CEO of The IdahoFoodbank. “Hunger is a problemthat impacts families and seniors inevery neighborhood and region,often regardless of employmentstatus. The Idaho Foodbank andour network of partners serve thosewho need help during challengingfinancial times until they are ableto move forward. Dump Hungerenables us to better serve those inneed after the holidays.”While the need for food contin-
ues to grow, food banks are experi-encing a dramatic shift in donationsources and types of food received.Manufacturing overruns, excessinventory and canned food driveshave been a substantial source offood in years past, however moreefficient manufacturing procedureshave decreased the number ofshelf-stable donations provided bycampaigns such as Dump Hunger.While perishable food sources help
fill some of the need, those servedby food banks continue to ask forshelf-stable foods that they canstore and use over time to feedtheir families.
Ways to DonateThose interested in donating
food to Dump Hunger can do so atany Western States location or par-ticipating Albertsons stores andWells Fargo branches in Idaho,western Wyoming and Montana,and eastern Oregon andWashington. Monetary donationscan be made at participating WellsFargo locations or online throughsome participating food banks.More details are available atwww.westernstatescat.com/dum-phunger.For more information on

Legacy Helps ODOT Double Its Salt Storage CapacityThe Tulsa Port of Catoosa has opened a new bulk salt stor-
age facility for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation(ODOT). Erected by Legacy Building Solutions, the mas-sive tension fabric structure provides 50,000 tons (45,359 t)of storage capacity for roadway deicing salt, nearly doublingODOT’s available storage across the state.“ODOT will distribute the salt stored at this new location
to maintenance distribution sheds ahead of impending snowor ice events during the winter,” said Craig Swengle, associ-ate vice president of Dewberry Engineers Inc., the primaryengineer/architect for public improvements at the Port ofCatoosa. “Previously, salt was stored in the open and covered with
tarps after being off-loaded from barges. The new buildingwill protect the salt supply from being compromised by windand precipitation.”Measuring 203 ft. (62 m) wide by 400 ft. (122 m) long, the
structure features 16-ft. (4.9 m) cast-in-place concrete wallsand a rigid frame roof design that maximizes the usable inte-rior space. To eliminate corrosion concerns, Legacy Building
Solutions installed a PVC tension fabric roof with structuralsteel frame that peaks to a maximum height of 70 ft. (21 m).All of the building’s steel, components and hardware are hotdip galvanized. “Once the general contractor completed the footings and
floors, Legacy installed the fabric building very quickly, inabout two weeks,” said Swengle. “It was a very positiveprocess with professional communication between Legacyand Dewberry throughout the project.”The new salt storage building is primarily cladded with
tan fabric, while also incorporating a white skylight to allowsunlight to illuminate the structure’s interior. The building isventilated with mesh eaves and is designed to withstandwinds of 90 mph and hold snow loads of 20 lbs. (9 kg) persq. ft.The Tulsa Port of Catoosa was strategically chosen as the
site for the new facility because it allows ODOT to transportsalt to the northern part of the state on a barge via inlandwaterway. This reduces material transportation costs for thetaxpayers and provides an avenue to procure extra salt ship-
ments when road deliveries aren’t feasible.Legacy Building Solutions specializes in the innovative
design, engineering and construction of fabric-coveredbuildings for several different industries and applications. For more information, call 320/259-7126 or 877/259-

The Interstate-880 corridor is a significantroute for commuters traveling to and fromthe Silicon Valley, from the Tri Valley Areaand Central Valley in the north, and the SanJose area to the south. Traffic has continuedto increase along this route, primarily in the“Golden Triangle” area bounded by SR 237,Route 101, and I-880.The Santa Clara Valley Transportation
Authority (VTA) and the CaliforniaDepartment of Transportation (Caltrans)partnered to effectuate a $70 millionimprovement project that will add more than4 mi. (6.4 km) of HOV (High OccupancyVehicle, or carpool) lane in each direction ofI-880 in Santa Clara County. The improve-ments take place between State Route 237 inthe city of Milpitas and U.S. 101 in the cityof San Jose. The project will fill an existing HOV lane
gap by extending the HOV system that con-nects northern Santa Clara County toAlameda County, a distance of about 20 mi.(32 km). HOV lanes have been shown to beeffective in reducing travel times during
peak commute hours.The State’s Corridor
Mobility ImprovementAccount (CMIA) funds allot-ted $50 million for the I-880project, and the other $20 mil-lion comes from VTA localprogram reserve funds.Project goals include
increasing highway capacity,reducing congestion, enhanc-ing safety, and improvingconnectivity between I-880and U.S.-101, two critical ele-ments of Santa ClaraCounty’s transportation net-work.“Our planning, design and
execution of this project hasbeen centered around keepingboth the public and our workers safe duringconstruction,” said Nilesh Pandya, Caltransresident engineer. “The end result will further enhance the
safety and mobility of the traveling public onthis busy corridor.” Bay Cities of Concord, Calif., began the
project in spring 2012 and plan to have the
HOV lane completed by summer 2013. Bay Cities is being aided by a handful of
subcontractors including MF Maher Inc.,Bortolussi & Watkins Inc., Linear Options,Central Fence, Professional Tree Care, andStatewide Construction. In addition to widening I-880 from six to
eight lanes, crews will widen and realign on
and off-ramps to I-880 at BrokawRoad Interchange, and constructa retaining wall throughout thecorridor.According to the The
Transportation Research Board,“the travel time savings andimproved trip reliability of HOVfacilities provide incentives forindividuals to change from driv-ing alone to carpooling, vanpool-ing, or riding the bus.” The first of its kind was a bus-
only lane on Shirley Highway (I-395) in northern Virginia outsideWashington, D.C., in 1969, fol-lowed by the contraflow bus laneon the approach to New York -New Jersey’s Lincoln Tunnel in1970. Both of these projects still
serve significant volumes of commuters.Major HOV systems now exist in manymetropolitan areas throughout the UnitedStates.

Crews used approximately 7,000 cu. yds. (5,352 cu m) of con-crete for the HOV lanes and the retaining wall.
The increase in traffic, particularly in the “Golden Triangle” area bounded by SR237, Route 101, and I-880, has made the HOV lanes necessary.
HOV lanes will be fully open to traffic in late 2013, with the entire project wrappingup mid-2014.

LiuGong Dealer On a Roll; Exceeds 2012 Sales ExpectationsDennis McShane knew that success was
going to take some time when WestraxMachinery took on the LiuGong construc-tion equipment brand in August of 2010. Notonly was the Chinese-based manufacturerrelatively unknown in North America, butthe California economy was in a deep slumpmaking any heavy equipment sale a chal-lenge.“We had a five-year plan for LiuGong,”
said McShane, sales manager of WestraxMachinery. “We really couldn’t have pickeda tougher time to take on this new equipmentline. We kept hearing ‘Construction equip-ment? In California? Are you serious?’People just weren’t buying back in 2010.”That was then. Today’s story is quite dif-
ferent. In 2012, McShane reported that his com-
pany shattered its sales goals for LiuGongsince January 2012. This includes the firstLiuGong ever sold in California and 2012sales surpassed every projection WestraxMachinery had in its third year carrying thebrand. McShane credits the support provided by
LiuGong executives like Fred Ridenour,general manager of business operations andMarcus Menough, western regional salesmanager. “We’ve gotten unbelievable support from
LiuGong North America on every level fromsales to parts and service. They deserve a tonof credit for our success,” he said.McShane also said a key order was placed
in late Spring by W.A. Rasic Construction ofLong Beach, Calif. The company orderedtwo LiuGong excavators and two wheelloaders after winning the bid for work on theLos Osos Wastewater Project (CollectionSystem Areas B and C) in San Luis ObispoCounty.W.A. Rasic Construction Vice President
David Lee said the LiuGong equipmentmet his company’s high standards.“For the Los Osos project, there were
very strict emissions requirements writteninto the RFP — even high by Californiastandards,” Lee said. “LiuGong’s machinescould meet those emissions standards,while having the quality and durability werequire from every piece of equipment wepurchase. The competitive, value-drivenprice was also enticing and a strong factorin our decision-making process.”Lee said they initially learned of
LiuGong at the ConExpo 2011 tradeshow. “We were impressed by their quality as
well as their determination to penetrate andsecure a position in the North Americanmarketplace. We knew LiuGong was seri-ous because they had Dennis McShane ontheir team. We’ve worked with Dennis formany years and trust him, knowing he onlyoffers quality products, backing them with
exemplary service.”McShane said that once a highly respect-
ed construction company like W.A. Rasicchose LiuGong, other Southern Californiacompanies took note and started makinginquiries. “When W.A. Rasic Construction bought
four LiuGong machines, our phones startedringing off the hook. Construction firmsappreciate the high-quality as well as thecompetitive pricing of LiuGong equipment.
“The biggest challenge in sellingLiuGong equipment is getting a company totry it,” continued McShane. “Once they getbehind the wheel, they see for themselvesthe quality of the machine and its overallvalue.”For the Los Osos project, W.A. Rasic
Construction needed two excavators andtwo wheel loaders. The firm purchased a922D 50,500-lb. (22,906 kg) excavator anda 915D 31,460-lb. (14,270 kg) excavator.The company also bought a pair of 842III Zwheel loaders.For Los Osos, W.A. Rasic Construction is
building more than 150,000 linear ft.(45,720 m) of gravity water mains, sewerforce mains, recycled effluent water forcemains, and laying subservice horizontal per-forated pipe. Among this and other work, thecompany is also laying 27,019 linear ft.(8,235 m) of fiber optic conduit and puttingin five monitoring wells. The LiuGongmachines handle much of the excavationand loading work for the project.The 922D has a Cummins QSB6.7, 155
hp (115.5 kW) engine and a travel speed ofup to 3 mph (4.8 kmh). The machine has amaximum digging depth of 21 ft. 8 in. (6.6m) and an operating weight of 50,500 lbs.(22,906 kg)for solid results on the job site.The standard bucket capacity is 1.31 cu. yds.(1 cu m) and the fuel capacity is 108.8 gal.
(412 L). “The 915D can boost work efficiency by
up to 10 percent while cutting fuel use by 10percent versus other excavators,” McShanesaid. The unit’s smart engineering starts witha Computer Aided Power Control [CAPC]system. The CAPC automatically matchesthe hydraulic output needs to the user’sworkload, delivering the right amount ofpower with the precise amount of fuel foreach load. When extra breakout force isneeded, an automatic power boost providesa 10-second shot of up to 10 percent greaterforce. Plus, the 915D’s “straight-travel”function automatically holds the machine ina true line when moving forward, accordingto the manufacturer.The 922D and 915D also have standard
features like a closed, climate controlled cab,so crews can work year-round in comfort.The units also offer one of the widest cabs on
the market, as well as a large color LCDmonitor with a user-friendly interface forsimple operation.The 842III Z loader has a Cummins
QSB6.7, 193 gross hp (144 kW) engine witha net horsepower of 186 (139 kW). TheLoader has a standard bucket size of 3.5 cu.yds. (2.7 cu m) and an operating weight of33,601 lbs. (15,241 kg). The standard buck-et’s breakout force is 30,574 lbs. (13,868kg). The standard dump height is 9 ft. 9 in. (3m).Some of the features that impressed W.A.
Rasic Construction about the 842III Z wasits easy engine access, a diagnostic systemthat gives fast, accurate maintenance sup-port, a wet-disc braking system and areversible cooling fan for easy cleaning asstandard equipment.“The LiuGong machines will play a big
part in the successful completion of the LosOsos project. And as far as the daily costsversus other machines we considered,LiuGong measures up well,” Lee said. McShane said that the word is spreading
in his region about the quality and value ofLiuGong equipment. “With the economy the way it is, my cus-
tomers are looking for the highest value andreturn on every dollar they spend. When itcomes to LiuGong, they know the purchaseworks within their budget without sacrific-ing quality. We’re looking forward to a great2013.” For more information on W.A. Rasic

For the Los Osos project, W.A. Rasic Construction needed two excavators and twowheel loaders. The firm purchased a 922D 50,500-lb. excavator (shown) and a915D 31,460-lb. excavator.
The company also bought a pair of 842III Z wheel loaders.

On Dec. 21, 2012, ASA, ASA ofTexas, and other construction industrytrade organizations asked the TexasSupreme Court to respond to two cer-tified questions about state law in away that affirms legal precedent andprevents the erosion of insurance cov-erage provided by contractors’ CGLinsurance coverage. The two questions, posed to the
court in the case of EwingConstruction Co. Inc. v. AmerisureInsurance Co., relate to (1) whether the“Contractual Liability Exclusion” of aCGL policy excludes coverage fordamage arising out of a contractor’sdefective work, and (2) whether thatexclusion does not apply, according toother terms in such policies that rein-state coverage for “liability that wouldexist in the absence of contract.” ASA, ASA of Texas and the other
amici curiae told the high court thatcontractors are owed the coveragepromised in their CGL policies ineither case. “Applying the ContractualLiability Exclusion to property dam-age to an insured contractor’s worksimply because that property damagemay breach its contract has a pro-foundly negative effect on CGL cover-age for the construction industry,” theassociations told the court. To decide otherwise would be
“nothing short of a radical departurefrom the means by which CGL cover-age has traditionally been provided bythe insurance industry to contractors.” The U.S. Court of Appeals for the
5th Circuit on Aug. 8, 2012, asked theSupreme Court of Texas to decidewhen exclusions to insurance coverageapply. The appeals court vacated anearlier decision in the Ewing case on
the grounds that the state high courtand not a federal court should decidethe questions of state law. Contractors in Texas and across the
country are keeping a close eye on theoutcome in the Ewing case. “Anunwarranted over-extension of theContractual Liability Exclusion to aninsured contractor’s liability for prop-erty damage arising out of its ownbreach of contract is truly a gamechanger for the Texas constructionindustry and has potential ramifica-tions well beyond that industry,” ASA,ASA of Texas and the amici curiaesaid. ASA tapped its subcontractorslegal defense fund to finance the briefin this case. For more information, visit

Texas Needs to Tackle RoadFinancing as Population Growsneed to tackle road financing as the state’spopulation grows. TxDOT, which currently has a $10 billion
annual budget, relies on a 20-cents-a-gallonfuel tax that hasn’t been raised since 1991.State officials say they’ll soon run out ofmoney for any construction or expansionwithout changes. Among some proposals, the top ideas
appear to be rededicating sales tax revenueon vehicle purchases to TxDOT or adding$50 to the annual vehicle registration fee.Other proposals include ending diversionsfrom the gas tax revenue and taking $1 bil-lion from the state “rainy day fund” to createa highway infrastructure bank. Wilson, speaking at a 35W Coalition
meeting at Texas Motor Speedway in FortWorth, declined to offer support for any spe-
cific funding proposals, The Dallas MorningNews reported. But he said “there’s a lot ofdesire” from the House, Senate and governorto address infrastructure needs. Wilson did offer backing for a couple of
broader proposals that could affect TxDOT’sfinancial standing. He said he hoped the Legislature would
continue to approve public-private partner-ships, such as the LBJ Express in Dallas orNorth Tarrant Express in the Fort Wortharea. Those efforts, known as comprehen-sive development agreements, typically fea-ture managed toll lanes and allow for expe-dited project timelines. Wilson also said the problem of road dam-
age from heavy trucks associated with oiland gas development should be addressed.

AGC Says Fiscal Cliff StopgapDoes Little to Aid Infrastructurethe fiscal cliff has been — temporarily —relieved, construction employment shouldcontinue to slowly rise in 2013.”Construction firms employed 5.564 mil-
lion people in December, up from 5.534 mil-lion in November, Simonson noted, anincrease of 0.5 percent. However, the sector'soverall employment in December was only18,000, or 0.3 percent, higher than one yearearlier when firms employed 5.546 millionworkers. The industry unemployment ratefell from 16 percent a year earlier, indicatingthat formerly unemployed constructionworkers are leaving the industry at a fasterrate than they are being rehired.Both residential and nonresidential con-
struction added jobs in December, with resi-dential construction outpacing nonresiden-tial construction for the month. Residentialconstruction added 18,100 jobs inDecember, with residential building contrac-tors adding 5,800 employees and residentialspecialty contractors adding 12,300 newworkers. Residential construction employ-ment is now up by 29,800, or 1.5 percent,compared to 12 months ago.Nonresidential contractors added 11,900
jobs (0.3 percent) in December, but are downby 12,400 jobs (minus 0.4 percent) com-
pared to one year ago. Nonresidential spe-cialty trade contractors added 5,600 jobs forthe month, while nonresidential buildingcontractors added another 7,000 jobs.However, heavy and civil engineering con-struction firms lost 700 jobs during themonth, dragged down by continuing cut-backs in government infrastructure spend-ing.Association officials said the growth in
construction employment was likelyrestrained by uncertainties about what feder-al tax and spending levels would be in 2013as Washington officials worked to addressthe pending fiscal cliff. They noted that thestopgap measure passed early in Januarywould do little to resolve broader fiscal prob-lems that are making it increasingly difficultfor the federal government to invest in vitalinfrastructure projects.“Until Washington can address the broad-
er challenge of out-of-control entitlementspending we are going to see more politicalstandoffs like the fiscal cliff and fewerinvestments in infrastructure,” said StephenE. Sandherr, the association’s chief executiveofficer. “Congress and the administrationneed to focus their energy on addressing thefiscal imbalances that are the root cause ofthese recurring political crises.”

Dynapac Unveils 5th Generation of Single Drum RollersDynapac USA has introduced four mod-
els of its CA-series single drum vibratoryrollers. The CA5000, CA5500, CA6000 andCA6500 have been equipped with a numberof enhancements over previous models,including optimized drum amplitude, auto-matic bouncing control and an overalldesign that makes it easier to service theequipment, according to the manufacturer.
Compaction is delivered by the new mod-els utilizing drum amplitude of .083in. (.2 cm.) This increasedforce allows rock fill tobe compacted in layersalmost 9 ft. (2.7 m) thickwith rock sizes up to 3 ft.(.9 m) in diameter. Italso requiresfewer passes toreach com-paction specifi-cations.
Automatic bouncing control measuresfeedback from the drum and eliminatesdrum bouncing or over compacting. Thisfeature improves compaction performancewhile extending the useful life of the equip-ment by eliminating drum double-jump,which could lead to premature failure ofmachine components, according to the man-ufacturer.
The CA6000D
model also features a governor to avoidcompacting at too high a speed.
A full package of design featuresenhances the serviceability of all models.The cross-mounted engine not only offerseasy access for service and maintenance, italso provides enhanced weight distributionand reduces overall machine length. Thehydraulic pumps, arranged in line with theengine, are easily accessed for servicing.
Another key feature is the “ECOmode” fuel conservation system thatminimizes fuel consumption aswell as carbon dioxide emissionsby ensuring that the roller does notconsume more power than neededat any given time. The models also
give attention to enhanced safety fea-tures with electronic drive control,which provides a “quick brake” func-tion and a tilt indicator. Dynapac’santi-spin traction system ensuresconsistent on-the-go traction andgradeability.
The combustion air intake isplaced on the engine hood with the
outlet running down the sides, thereby keep-ing the inlet air as clean as possible. Whencombined with the ejector exhaust outlet,this placement also serves to minimize noiselevels.
The CA rollers have static linear loads of280 pounds per linear inch (pli) on theCA5000, 310 pli on the CA5500, 335 pli onthe CA6000 and 365 pli on the CA6500. Allfour models are equipped with interim TierIV engines from Deutz, and can use a mix ofbiodiesel and regular diesel fuel.
Optional features on the new rollersinclude:
• Service interval alert on instrumentpanel indicates when a particular service isrequired
• Sustainability package: an rpm manage-ment system, biodegradable fill-for-lifehydraulic fluid, 50 hours service kit, electri-cal engine block heater and working lightswith LED lamps (CA6000D only.)
• Air-conditioned cabs with spin-aroundseat and steering module, offering move-ment of up to 180 degrees without stressingneck or body. Spin-around seats also areavailable as a standalone option, without thecab.
web-based soft-ware for life-cycle cost con-trol andi n c r e a s e dmachine avail-ability.The CA rollers
are available instandard modelswith a choice of
specifications andavailable options allowing
customers to “build”their own machines, orchoose from a numberof pre-defined pack-ages.

Volvo PF6160, PF6170 Wheel-MountedPavers Designed for Productivity
The Volvo PF6160 and PF6170 wheel-mounted paversare part of the PF6000-Series highway-class asphalt paverline that utilizes global technology to provide solutions thatincrease paving performance and provides maximum uptimefor the machine, according to the manaufacturer. Both the PF6160 and PF6170 are powered by a 205-hp
(153 kW) Tier III-certified Cummins engine. A level-loadsuspension design uses the two drive wheels and the centerof the bogie hydraulic system. This provides consistent andeven ground contact for stability. Both the PF6160 and thePF6170 come standard with the two-wheel front-wheelassist; however, the PF6170 can be configured with anoptional four-wheel front-wheel assist for all-wheel-drivecapability. The torque is adjusted based on the hopper load,optimizing the machine’s traction.
Material ManagementA number of features on these pavers provide contractors
with more options in material flow. The auger system is inde-pendent of the conveyor system with each of the two augerand conveyor drives using sonic sensors for more precisehandling of material. The conveyor system has chains thatare automatically tensioned for proper performance and lessdowntime. The conveyor chain cover cleans itself, providingeasier maintenance. Reversible augers and conveyors areoptional equipment.
A hopper capacity of 14.38 tons (13.04 t) gives each pavera practical production rate of 820 tons (744 t) per hour.Standard on all PF6000-Series pavers are hopper locks thatkeep hopper wings secure during transport.
Operator ControlsThe PF6160 and PF6170 feature dual control stations,
which can pivot at two points for comfort, and each seat maybe extended beyond the edge of the machine for improvedvisibility. An open deck space improves mobility for theoperator and increases visibility, and secure handrails pro-vide added safety. The operator panel keeps all controls,gauges and warning lights at the fingertips of the operator,with the ability for the panel to tilt or swivel to fit the com-fort of the operator.
Your Choice of ScreedThe Volvo PF6160 and PF6170 can fit the Omni 318,
Omni 1000 or Ultimat 200 screeds, allowing the flexibilityto build a paver to fit the needs of the application. Bothpavers have a screed width of 10 ft. (3 m) and a maximumpaving width of 26 ft. (8 m). PF6000-Series pavers have a30-kilowatt generator providing plenty of power to thescreeds. For more information, call 828/650-2000 or visit

KGM Runs Around $20M in Equipment Per Day for Jobwith completion expected in 2015.“We’re probably running about $20 million worth of
equipment on a daily basis,” said KGM Equipment ManagerBill Forgey. “Just focusing on utilization of the equipmenthas been a big job.”The bridge that spans the north section of Lake
Washington is approximately 7,000 ft. (2,133 m) long, butthe project also includes road construction and land-basedinfrastructure.The design-build bridge brings together many architectur-
al aspects. There are 77 pontoons — big concrete hollowboxes (with cells inside) that are joined together to provide afloating platform for the elevated roadway to be built on.They are anchored down to the lakebed with 4 in. (10 cm)diameter steel cable to a series of large concrete anchors andshafts which are driven into the lake bottom. The six laneroadway deck is elevated on columns that are roughly 10 ft.(3 m) above the pontoons. Upon exiting thefloating bridge, motorists will enter a 700 ft.(213 m) land-based bridge before joining backto the existing roadway surface at grade.“There’s also a 19,000-square-feet four-
story maintenance facility that’s being con-structed,” said Erik Nelson, KGM’s projectmanager. While WSDOT specified the design of the
pontoons, Kiewit was responsible for theremainder of the project’s design.“A floating bridge is quite technical and
complex — there are a lot of load conditionsthat must be considered and a lot of differentand unique criteria associated with it,” saidNelson. “Some of the pontoons are being fur-nished by WSDOT via another contract andbeing manufactured in Aberdeen, Washington— a four-day ocean tow that presents us witha lot of challenges — timing, weather condi-tions and seascapes.“The remaining pontoons are being built
under this contract at a facility in Tacoma,” headded, “so we have to coordinate the con-
struction and towing of the pontoons and get them to the laketo join them in their corresponding final alignment. There isalso an adjacent contract on the existing SR 520 highway onthe east side, so there is a lot of coordination and timingrequirements associated with the project that have to beaccounted for.”Planning for the bridge project was extensive and required
nearly a year to determine the overall design, the deliveryand work schedule, and the amount and type of equipmentthat would be needed for the multi-year project, as well asaccounting for unexpected delays and potential surprises.“So far our planning has been excellent and we’ve gotten
off to a good start,” said Nelson.The underwater portion of the project is complex and div-
ing teams with solid construction experience have beenbrought in to work at the 200-ft. (61 m) depths. Diving to thatdepth requires special equipment, including a compressionchamber.
“When we designed the anchors we had to take intoaccount the soil conditions and properties,” said Nelson. “Itrequires a lot of planning to coordinate the underwater andabove-water construction and ensure that all safety concernsare met.”The marine equipment employed by KGM includes
barges, derrick barges and tug boats – quite the flotilla.“Most of the time we have six to eight derrick barges
working,” said Forgey. “The largest one is a 400-ton DB 24crane that is owned by Manson. The other derricks we’reusing are owned by General and have a lifting capability of150-ton and 100-tons.”The DB Columbia and DB LA barges are owned by
General. The tugs were supplied by Manson and Westar.The anchors are being cast at Kiewit’s site at Kenmore, 20
mi. (32 km) north of the bridge. The gravity anchors (whenfilled with rocks) weigh over 560 tons (508 t), while thefluke anchors weigh 112 tons (101 t).
“We’re picking up the fluke anchors with a120-ton shuttle lift and moving them out on atrestle and loading them on the barges,” saidForgey. At the Tacoma site, Forgey is employing a
150-ton (136 t) Liebherr crawler crane and twoLiebherr 44-ton (40 t) tower cranes help buildthe pontoons in a dry dock.“We’re also using a lot of other gear to aid the
work such as hydraulic cranes and smaller fork-lifts at our facility in Kenmore,” he said. “Wehave two crawler cranes — a 240-ton American9310 and a 300-ton LR1280. We have a 30 tongantry crane that will be doing some of oursmaller pre-cast work, which includes a 120 —shuttle lift.” He added that nearly 95 percent ofthe equipment to be used on the project is ownedby the joint venture.Xtreme Manufacturing built two types of
pick and carry extended boom forklifts —10,000 and 15,000 lbs. (4,536 and 6,804 kg).“We bought five new ones for the job,” said
Forgey. “The forklifts pick and carry forms,deliver small tools, and can transport supplies tojob locations.”
Maximizing equipment use and scheduling maintenanceare critical to the success and schedule of the project. Forgeyis using job equipment maintenance system software toensure that there are no unexpected breakdowns, that regularmaintenance is done, and that this work is taken care of dur-ing off-hours and downtime.“All our repairs and maintenance are based on hours of
use and we focus on getting all our hours into the computerprogram to stay on schedule,” he said. “One key to successof our job scheduling is to maintain a five week look-aheadschedule and communicate that on a weekly basis to every-one on the project team in a project meeting.”Nelson noted that this project is providing a valuable
experience and lessons that can be applied on future projects.“Not only is this project unique,” he said, “but so is the
variety of equipment. In addition to marine equipment, wehave traditional land-based equipment as well as loaders,dozers, cranes, forklifts, etc. It’s important to us that we arebuilding a project that really benefits the public and are per-forming well in meeting the needs of client.”

Anchorage Mulls Options forTroubled Port Expansion JobANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) The best
options for the troubled Port of Anchorageexpansion project involve removing most ofthe new dock areas built, then either replac-ing the old dock or shoring it up, city offi-cials said. One possible fix would leave the two
major cargo carriers at the Port ofAnchorage’s old dock, which officials say isdeteriorating, the Anchorage Daily Newsreported Dec. 17. Possible ways to resolve the project came
out of a recent three-day session involvingkey players, including the port, cargo carri-ers, consulting engineers CH2M Hill and theU.S. Maritime Administration, the federalagency that managed the beleaguered proj-ect. The city has been working for more than
a decade to improve and replace the 51-year-old dock. Under a design patented by PND
Engineers Inc. as open cell sheet pile, thenew dock was being built as a series of U-shaped steel cells backfilled with gravel tocreate new land, instead of a traditional dockon piling.
Major construction was halted in 2009and 2010 after components of the new dockwere damaged. Last year, the Maritime Administration, or
MARAD, contracted with the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers to determine whether thecell sheet pile design could be constructed atthe port site. The Corps hired CH2M, whichconcluded an open-cell dock structure couldfail during an earthquake even if the steelsheets were driven into the seafloor correct-ly. PND Engineers disputes that contention. “We at PND and our subcontractors stand
behind the design and analysis we per-formed, which was validated after multiplereviews by MARAD, USACE [Corps ofEngineers] and other public entities as wellas PND’s 32-year reputation and history ofsuccess,” PND president John Pickeringwrote in a Dec. 4 letter to the municipality. PND still is reviewing its draft copy of the
CH2M Hill study, but wants to help themunicipality complete the port project,Pickering wrote. The 2,200-page study is scheduled for
public release in February.

CEG Announces New Auction Results Web Site FeatureConstruction Equipment
Guide’s (CEG) Auction ResultsPage is a new addition to the CEGWeb site. The Auction Results Page
allows users to gain access to theresults of thousands of recent auc-tions held across the UnitedStates. This new feature includes adatabase of thousands of pieces ofequipment. It also was designedto make the process of searchingauction results both streamlinedand detailed at the same time.“We recognized the need for
our readers to have access to thelatest auction results from all overthe United States,” said RobTredinnick, head of the Webdepartment of CEG. “What we’vedone with this feature is givenWeb users the ability to quickly find the results of hundredsof auctions in a variety of ways.”Users can choose one of two methods to search the
Auction Results Page: The first method is to simply browsethe Results Section by Equipment Type and then drill downby Manufacturer. The second method uses the AuctionSearch Page’s powerful database to enter a host of options inthe search. Users can search the database by entering specif-ic Model Numbers, Hours/Miles, Price, Year, location of
auction by zip code, to list a few methods.Allowing users a choice of how they want to find their
results was a key component of the page. “We wanted the best of both worlds,” said Tredinnick.
“This is a large amount of data to be searched. By keeping itsimple, we allow users to cut through all the data to getexactly what they want. But we also knew that many peoplewill have very specific searches, so we also allowed for thatas well.”
The database itself contains equipment culled from auc-tions across the country. Categories include Aerial Lifts,Cranes, Backhoe Loaders, Excavators, Hydraulic Breakers,Skid Steer Loaders, and much more. The manufacturers list-ed include Caterpillar, Liebherr and Terex, to name just afew.To view the Auction Results Page, go to: http://
