Masahiro Sakane, chairman of Komatsu Ltd., the parentcompany of Komatsu America Corp., was named one of thebest-performing CEOs in the world, according to a recentHarvard Business Review article. CEOs on the list wereselected from nearly 2,000 CEOs of large public companiesworldwide, and were ranked based on the performance oftheir companies over their entire time in office — or, forthose still in the job, up until Sept. 30, 2009. Sakane servedas president and CEO of Komatsu Ltd. from June 2001 toJune 2007.
The article commented that the rankings “highlight thegreat extent to which CEOs account for variations in com-pany performance, beyond those due to industry, country,and economic swings.” The article goes on to discern theimportance of objective, long-term measures to assess CEOperformance.
To be considered for the list, a CEO had to have assumedthe job of CEO no earlier than January 1995 and no laterthan December 2007. CEOs of all publicly traded companiesthat had made Standard & Poor’s Global 1200 or BRIC 40lists since 1997 were identified and considered, producing apool of 1,999 CEOs from 1,205 companies.
Three metrics were used in determining the success of theCEOs: country-adjusted total shareholder return, industry-adjusted shareholder return, and the change in equity marketcapitalization for the CEO’s entire tenure. The group ofCEOs included for consideration, came from companiesbased in 33 countries and represented 48 nationalities.
Sakane ranked seventeenth among his world-wide peersand was the top-rated CEO from a Japanese company.

Sixty-eight road projects in 31states will receive $93.9 million inPublic Lands Highways grant funds toimprove access to public lands, U.S.Secretary of Transportation RayLaHood announced Jan. 13.
“The roads that carry America toand through its national parks, triballands or any of the other federal landsneed help, just like the rest of thenational highway system,” saidLaHood. “These funds will help pro-tect the roads for the many whodepend on them and improve the qual-ity of life for communities served bythese unique places.”
The funds will improve andincrease accessibility on the lands of15 Native American tribes, 11 militarybases, 19 national park units, 10national forests and four nationalwildlife refuges.
Unlike most of the nation’s publicroads, which are managed by state
departments of transportation, federallands roads are maintained by varioustribal and federal agencies. Fundsfrom the Public Lands Highwaysgrant program supplement their exist-ing infrastructure programs. They alsocan be used for cities and counties thatare responsible for the roads providingaccess to federal and tribal lands.
Examples of this year’s grant recip-ients include:
• More than $4 million will beused to help improve road access tothe Flight 93 National Memorial inStonycreek Township, Pa.
• Nearly $3 million will be used forroad improvements near the forthcom-ing American Veterans Disabled ForLife Memorial in Washington, D.C.,between I-395 and the U.S. Capitol.The memorial is anticipated to becompleted by 2012.
• Nearly $2 million will be used tomake tribal road improvements on the
Standing Rock Sioux reservation inNorth Dakota.
• Nearly $1 million will be used foralternative transportation improve-ments around the Fort Baker area inthe Golden Gate National RecreationArea in California. This work includespedestrian connection improvements,upgrades to National Park Serviceshuttle buses, planning for bio-dieselrefueling capacity, and installation ofsigns, bicycle racks, benches and otherrelated equipment.
• More than $1 million will be usedto complete construction of the SR101/t3ba’das Parkway on theSkokomish Indian Reservation,Washington.
This is the largest amount of grantfunding awarded to public lands roadssince 2002, and the second largest inthe 79-year history of the FederalHighway Administration’s PublicLands Highways program.

water infrastructure programs. Also attending were leaders of business and labor organi-
zations, local and state government officials, and representa-tives of the rural, education and minority business communi-ties.
At the press conference, Slater spoke alongside SenatorsBoxer and Bob Casey (D-PA) and two representatives ofnational labor organizations.
Slater stated, “What we heard today was not only a com-mitment to a near-term jobs creation package, but a commit-ment from Senator Boxer to write a multi-year highway billthis year, and to start that process in March. We fully supportthis commitment and look forward to working with SenatorBoxer and her colleagues as they write this critical legisla-tion.”
He added, “We know many thorny policy issues have to beresolved before the House and Senate can come to agreementon a new multi-year highway bill, and that in the meantime —right now — Congress needs to pass some measures that canhelp to create jobs for Americans in the nearer term. Werespect and support this. But as soon as that work is done, wehope that our lawmakers will turn to our nation’s long-terminfrastructure investment needs. We must have a multi-yearfunding commitment to provide market certainty, so plannerscan plan, and business can invest. This is how the private sec-tor creates jobs.”
A Hard Number Look at the Need for
Infrastructure InvestmentDennis Slater, president of the Association of Equipment
Manufacturers recently spoke before a meeting of senatorsabout the state of the construction industry. He had the fol-lowing to report:
• 1.25 million. That’s how many jobs the constructionequipment industry supported in 2008.
• 550,000. That’s how many jobs the constructionequipment industry has lost in this recession.
• 50 percent. That’s how much employment in the con-struction equipment manufacturing sector alone hasdeclined since 2006.
• 22,000 deaths annually are related to deficientroadway conditions.
• Commuters in major urban areas waste 4.2 billionhours every year stuck in traffic — costing another $87billion to the economy in lost productivity and wasted fuel.
• At least 33 percent of our nation’s major roads arein poor or mediocre condition and 26 percent of bridgesare structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
• $225 billion. According to the SurfaceTransportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission, theU.S. needs to spend $225 billion annually for the next 50years to upgrade our surface transportation system. Weare spending less than 40 percent of this amount today.
• $350. That’s how much wealth is returned to theeconomy for every $100 invested in infrastructure,according to a University of Maryland study.
• 35,000. According to the Department of Labor,35,000 jobs are created for every $1 billion spent oninfrastructure.

Jim never felt he needed a consultant. Until now. His gra-cious neighbor Ken offered Jim two hours of his time gratisto share the “Top 10 Survival Tactics in a Tough Economy”:
• Cash flow is kingAs a small business owner, you must know how your cash
flows. This isn’t fancy accounting; it’s simply tracking howcash comes in versus how it goes out. Take two hours, anduse your QuickBooks or check register to get a grasp of thismonetary movement.
• Trim the fatMany small businesses experienced a tremendous run in
the last 10 to 15 years. Since they had good cash flow com-ing in the door, they allowed fat to accumulate in the thingsgoing out the door. Now is the time to look at where yourmoney is going, and eliminate unnecessary items. Thisincludes the business Hummer, that expensive copier leaseand the T1 connection instead of basic cable modem. Youmay need to make sometough decisions about elimi-nating employees. It’s criticalthat you get your cash out-flows to a manageable levelASAP.
• Look into the futureWhen clients and projects
were rolling, most entrepre-neurs believed that new busi-ness would materializewhenever things temporarilyslowed down. Those timesare gone. Analyze whatmoney is coming in during the next three months, specifi-cally from where, and when. Compare this to the new cashoutflows that you assessed in the step above. If things aretight, that’s fine; if more is going out than coming in, trimmore and find additional income. Do this exercise eachmonth, always looking at least three months out.
• Get back to basicsWhen you first went into business, you may have had to
fight and claw to make ends meet. Make a list of the thingsyou did back then to bring in revenue. You probably movedaway from many of those strategies when businessimproved. This is the time to aggressively return to them.
• Avoid the temptation of debtIt’s tempting to use debt and credit cards to borrow your
way through slow times. Since no one knows how long thisslump will last, borrowing may result in the demise of yourbusiness. Say “No” to using credit cards, the equity in yourhome, or any other borrowing. Resolve that you’re going toscratch and claw your way through this using the cash flowsof the business. You’ll come out stronger in the end.
• Be ready for an emergencyYou absolutely must have cash reserves, just in case. If
you have any money right now, create an emergency fundthat equals one, two or three months of your cash outflows.Put this in an account, and don’t use it unless it’s life-or-death
for the business. This provides a cushion just in case some-thing bad comes along at the worst possible time. If youdon’t have cash now, do everything you can to build up sucha reserve.
• Show your banker a planYour banker is probably as scared as you are. Show him a
concrete plan for getting cash flows back in shape. Ask yourCPA to help you format it. Once it’s complete, communicateto your banker clearly, and ask him to help you implement it.If you’re working with a quality financial institution, he’llwant to see you make it, and help you any way he can.
• Know who lays the golden eggsDon’t forget who’s paying your bills right now — your
customers. Although you want new business, it’s imperativethat you keep your existing customers. Your competition isdesperate, and they may try anything to get your customers.Call your clients yourself, ask them how they’re doing, andif there’s anything you can do to help them out. Ask if they’re
happy with your service, andwhat can you do to providethem with an even betterexperience going forward.
• Work on the impor-tant things
Many business ownersare in the same predicamentas you. The ones who sur-vive will do so becausethey’ll do the things aboveASAP and get their shiprighted. You must make timeto work on your cash flows,and improve the customers’
experience now. Set aside a full day within the next week towork on the items above, without interruptions and excuses.
• Reduce stressThe difference between the businesses that will get
through this slowdown, and those that won’t, has a lot to dowith the quality of decisions. To make great ones, you mustthink clearly. When you’re stressed, it’s nearly impossible tomake big decisions and show the leadership that’s needed tosurvive. Some suggestions to lower your stress level include:a daily 10-minute relaxation CD that walks you throughdeep breathing and stretching; yoga; exercise; and outdooractivities with your family. Anything that allows you to getyour mind off things and relax is good.
Entrepreneurs have a sink-or-swim, do-or-die mentality.Focus on the right things, and you’ll get through this.
Jim left Ken’s house knowing he had a tough road aheadof him, but felt he had the necessary tools to face the chal-lenges head on.

Komatsu America Corp. has introduced the hybridPC200LC-8 excavator into the North American market.
Komatsu’s goal is to meet increasing global environmen-tal concerns through the development of equipmentdesigned to reduce environmental impact, including CO2reduction. By developing a successful hybrid excavator inthe largest construction machine segment (20 to 22 ton),Komatsu’s green technology will have a substantial impacton saving fuel and reducing green house emissions.
“Komatsu’s decision to apply its engineering excellenceto the largest construction machine segment, clearly signalsour commitment to developing environment-friendly equip-
ment,” said Dave Grzelak, CEO and chairman of KomatsuAmerica Corp. “Since the company’s inception, Komatsuhas been setting the global standard for technology and engi-neering excellence and today that tradition continues withthe introduction of the Hybrid PC200LC-8 excavator.”
Powered by the Komatsu Hybrid System, the hybridPC200LC-8 uses a newly developed electric swing motor,power generator motor, capacitor and diesel engine.Komatsu developed its hybrid system to work on the princi-ple of swing energy regeneration and energy storage usingthe Komatsu ultra capacitor system. Komatsu’s ultra capaci-tors provide fast energy storage and instantaneous power
transmission.The kinetic energy generated during the swing braking
phase is converted to electricity, which is sent through aninverter and then captured by the ultra capacitor. This cap-tured energy is then discharged very quickly for upper struc-ture rotation and to assist the engine as commanded by thehybrid controller when accelerating under work load condi-tions.
In tests comparing the standard PC200LC-8 hydraulicexcavator to the hybrid PC200LC-8, the hybrid modelreduced fuel consumption by approximately 25 to 40 per-cent, depending on the application, according to the manu-facturer.
The SpecsThe hybrid PC200LC-8 is powered by the powerful, tur-
bocharged and air-to-air after-cooled KomatsuSAA4D107E-1 which provides 138 hp (103 kW). With anoperating weight of 43,643 to 47,260 lbs. (19,796 to 21,437kg), the hybrid PC200LC-8 has a bucket capacity of 0.66 to1.57 cu. yds. (.5 to 1.2 cu m). The hybrid PC200LC-8 has thesame vigorous working forces and performance levels of theconventional PC200LC-8.
The cab design assures operator comfort because the vis-cous cab damper mounts reduce vibration. A7 in. LCD mon-itor provides easy-to-read gauges and onboard diagnostics aswell as displaying the rear-view monitoring system for view-ing the work area to rear of the machine.
KOMTRAX on BoardThe hybrid PC200LC-8 also is equipped with the latest
KOMTRAX technology, which sends machine operatinginformation to a secure Web site utilizing wireless technolo-gy. Data such as operating hours, fuel consumption, machinelocation and machine utilization are relayed to the web appli-cation for analysis. The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring sys-tem increases machine availability, reduces the risk ofmachine theft and provides a wealth of other information todrive business efficiency.
The hybrid PC200LC-8 excavator was introduced to theJapanese market in June 2008 and has been successful inreducing fuel consumption. In addition, Komatsu introducedthe hybrid to the Chinese market in August this year.

Today’s economic realities now demand using every trickof the trade in order to make equipment last longer whilesqueezing every excess expense – including constantly pur-chasing new tools – out of the balance sheet.
Jerry R. Fifer, technical support manager southeast ofTramac said maintenance gaffes that cost companies both intool wear and big money for replacements come down tofour basics:
• All grease is the same, right? The Fault: Breaker tools or points become extremely hot
(as high as 400 F or more) when in use. At those tempera-
tures, standard lube grease will liquefy and run off the tool oractually burn up entirely, leaving a shorter lifespan for tools’bushings and broken tools.
The Fix: Good grease. Breaker grease should be, at min-imum, No. 2 lithium-based grease containing 3 percentmolybdenum. It should be rated to work at temperatures ofat least 500 F or more). Why is the molybdenum a “musthave”? It helps the grease stick to the tool and not run off.
• Where do I grease it? The Fault: Failing to put enough grease on and apply-
ing it in the wrong way can be just as bad as using low-
quality product.The Fix: Start with a quick examination. When the break-
er is raised vertically off the ground, the tool will drop downand expose the portion that is in contact with the lower toolbushing. The condition of this exposed portion is indicativeof the condition of the upper, unexposed sections. Theexposed portion should be thoroughly covered with grease.
But how to apply it? Use an automatic greaser (if avail-able) and set it to apply grease only when the breaker is oper-ating. If the automatic greaser runs while the breaker tool hasdropped down (see above) grease will be deposited on thetop of the tool. Then the next time the breaker is used thegrease (now trapped between the top of the breaker tool andthe bottom of the strike piston) will be forced through thelower piston seals and damage them. If applying lubricantmanually, the tool must be pushed upward into the breakerbefore greasing. This is easy to do by lowering the breakervertically and pressing the tool against the ground.
The bottom line: using the proper amount of high-qualitygrease and putting it on in the right way greatly reduces thefriction wear on the tool and tool bushings.
• When is it time to inspect?The Fault: Tool tops not checked regularly lead to more
damage overall.The Fix: The top of the tool takes a tremendous beating
from the strike piston. Eventually, the tool top’s surface willmushroom just like the top of a mechanic’s cold chisel orpunch. It is important that the mushrooming areas be filed offbefore they become so large that they break off. Brokenpieces of the tool can get trapped between the tool and thestrike piston, resulting in piston damage. Also be sure tocheck for damage on the areas of the tool that strike the toolretainers. Any mushrooming or other faults must be filed offat regularly.
An important reminder: different types of breaker appli-cations will result in more or less tool damage. Inspect andservice the tool once a week until experience teaches youhow long your service intervals can be.
• When do I replace the bushings? The Fault: Wear limits on bushings are routinely mis-
judged, resulting in piston damage and shortened lifespan onother parts.
The Fix: All breaker tool bushings have a specified innerdiameter wear limit. When this limit is reached, most bush-ings appear to have plenty of material left to wear off and areusually not replaced as recommended. But the key is toremember that the wear limit is not based on how muchmaterial is left but on the possible angle of engagementbetween the tool and strike piston. The lower bushing will bethe first to wear out. If it is allowed to wear past the limit, thetool can be at such an angle to the piston that the piston onlyhits the tool on the edge of the strike surface. Continuing tooperate the breaker in this way will damage the strike piston.In addition, wear on the upper bushing is accelerated whenthe lower bushing is worn out. The lifespan of the upperbushing can be extended by replacing the lower bushingwhen the wear limit is reached.

Excavating Under Bridge ProvidesExtra 20 ft. Needed for New Laneneer for CDOT’s Denver metropolitanregion.
In addition to the new through lanes,the project includes a dedicated turnlane from westbound Arapahoe Roadto northbound Yosemite Street andimproves left turn movement fromsouthbound I-25 to eastboundArapahoe Road.
The $2.4 million contract wasawarded to Structures Inc.(Approximately 60 percent of theDenver-based company’s work vol-ume, which totals about $20 millionper year, consists of projects forCDOT.) Structures Inc. began con-struction in late September. By the end
of January, the project was approxi-mately 40 percent finished, and has ascheduled completion date of mid-Juneor earlier.
To date, the project has gonesmoothly. “So far, so good,” saidBullard. “Over the last couple ofmonths, weather has been a little bit ofan issue, but now that things are start-ing to warm up a little we hope to getthings to accelerate.”
Tony Bruski, project manager atStructures Inc., agrees that workingthrough the winter has its challenges.Another object to overcome wasStructures Inc. having to re-phase theproject at least three times in order to
keep working while waiting for theutilities to be relocated. All together,utility relocation was delayed by nearlyfour months.
Now, crews are finally finishing upunderground utility work. They alsoare excavating under the bridge, inorder to gain the 20 ft. (6 m) needed forthe expansion of the new westboundthrough lane. Structures Inc. used theBobcat 442 with a 1,500 lbs. (680 kg)hammer to demolish 80 percent of theoriginal retaining wall, which was 220ft. (67 m) long and 12 ft. (3.7 m) tall, onaverage. Once down to the wall’s foun-dation, they were able to bring in a 320excavator, with a rented 2,500 lbs.
(1,134 kg) hammer, to complete thedemolition.
“We were using such a small pieceof equipment [for the first phase ofdemolition] due to the horizontal clear-ance between the traffic and the wall;there was eight feet between the trafficand the wall,” said Bruski.
The new retaining wall is a soil nailwall with a 7-in. (17.8 cm) concretefascia for decorative purposes. After itis finished, the contractor will be ableto add the new through lane.
To create the eastbound throughlane, crews are taking out the medianbetween two existing ramp lanes anddoing some repaving to turn one ramplane into a through lane. “That one wecan do without having to move toomuch dirt,” said Bullard.
Subcontractors are local companiessuch as American Infrastructure Inc.(underground utility installation),Standard Electric Co. and Taylor’sLandscaping LLC.
The improvements to the ArapahoeRoad/I-25 interchange are funded bymoney remaining from the SoutheastCorridor Transportation ExpansionProject (T-REX), the largest transporta-tion contract in Colorado history. The$1.16-billion T-REX project took placefrom 2001 to 2006.
DENVER from page 1
Because the current bridge spanrestricts traffic flow, adding anadditional through lane in eachdirection will increase road capac-ity.
A new dedicated turn lane will ease and improve left turn movement.

Doosan. The closer you look, the better we get.
Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment
operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After
Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a
tough time getting his equipment working
again to help in the clean-up. But he never
expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan
excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of
saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck
in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner,
it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater
from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off
to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

HADCO Construction Tappedfor Mountain View Corridor
The Utah Department of Transportationhas selected HADCO Construction of Lehito build the Utah County segment of theMountain View Corridor.
The 3 mi. (4.8 km) construction area on2100 North from Redwood Road to I-15 inLehi, Utah, consists of constructing afrontage road system of two lanes in eachdirection with signalized intersections, build-ing four new bridges spanning the JordanRiver, and site preparation for a futureFrontRunner rail line. The project is slatedfor completion in the fall of 2011.
HADCO has commenced site-clearingwork and will close 2100 North from PointeMeadow Drive to Thanksgiving Way. Crewswill begin installing a storm drain line alongthe north edge of the project area betweenthe railroad and the Jordan River. It also willbegin placing fill material near the JordanRiver in preparation for the new bridges.
According to UDOT, future expansion ofthe corridor will occur over time by addingmore lanes when it is needed to meet trafficdemands and as funding is available. Thephased approach is to address short-termregional transportation needs while provid-
ing for a long-term solution for the future. The Mountain View Corridor is a planned
freeway, transit and trail system in westernSalt Lake and northwestern Utah counties,servicing 13 municipalities in the projectarea. To meet projected transportationdemands in the year 2030, the full build-outincludes a freeway that connects withInterstate 80 at 5800 West in Salt Lake Cityin the north and Interstate 15 at 2100 Northin Lehi in the south. The transit componentof the project is a high-capacity service lineon 5600 West in Salt Lake County that con-nects with both the planned AirportExtension at the International Center andMid-Jordan Line in South Jordan.
HADCO Construction was founded in1989 specializing in agriculture irrigationbut has transitioned into a $50 millionregional company with three divisions:heavy highway, commercial and residentialconstruction. Headquartered in Lehi, Utah,HADCO has more than 300 employees andspecializes in site development and excava-tion, while operating four sand and gravellocations along the Wasatch Front.
U.S. Transportation Deputy SecretaryJohn Porcari joined state and local officialsto kick-off construction on a project that willgive drivers using the Caldecott Tunnel nearOakland and San Francisco two additionallanes to alleviate congestion in this highly-trafficked route.
The $420 million project, which will cre-ate a new, fourth tunnel, will use $197.5 mil-lion from the American Recovery andReinvestment Act (ARRA), making it thenation’s single largest investment of ARRAtransportation funds to date.
“Embarking on a major project that willtunnel through the Berkeley Hills will notonly create good paying jobs for workers,but it also will greatly improve the quality oflife for East Bay residents and thousands ofdaily commuters,” said Porcari.
The existing three tunnels on SR 24,which give drivers a total of six lanes, areinadequate for the heavy volume of BayArea traffic each day. The route serves anestimated 160,000 drivers daily. When com-pleted in 2013, the new 3,389-ft. (1,033 m)-long tunnel will have 12-ft. (3.6 m) lanes, a
10-ft. (3 m) north shoulder, a 2-ft. (.6 m)south shoulder, a 2-ft. north emergencywalkway and a 3-ft. (.9 m) south emergencywalkway.
Work crews will advance from both theeast and west sides of the tunnel, excavatingand stabilizing small segments as they go, ata rate of about one to two yards a day.Situated less than half a mile from theHayward fault, the tunnel will be built towithstand an earthquake and will includeseven emergency escape passages to theadjacent tunnel and other safety features.
Of the $26.6 billion available for highwayprojects through the Recovery Act, $23.2billion has been obligated to more than10,600 projects nationwide — of which6,584 are under way. California, which has$2.54 billion in highway funds available, hasobligated $2.3 billion toward 809 projects,368 of which are under way. Recovery fundshave employed tens of thousands of men andwomen across the country and significantlyimproved nearly 24,000 mi. of infrastruc-ture.

Serving an estimated 50,000northbound vehicles and 25,000northbound pedestrians a day, theSan Ysidro Land Port of Entry isconsidered the busiest land port ofentry in the world.
Located between San Diego andTijuana, the port currently supports24 northbound vehicle lanes intothe United States and six south-bound lanes into Mexico.However the 30-year-old facility isaging and unable to handle futureincreases in vehicle and pedestriantraffic.
Recognizing the need for a com-plete renovation of the San Ysidroport, the U.S. General ServicesAdministration (GSA) — alongwith a handful of other partners —began an estimated $577 millionexpansion project in December2009.
“GSA has been hard at work foryears planning for the San YsidroLand Port of Entry. It is without adoubt GSA’s largest border proj-ect,” said Gene Gibson, regionalpublic affairs officer of GSA.“This project will ensure that U.S.Customers and Border Protectioncan more efficiently handle thenation’s busiest cross-border traf-fic, while at the same time height-ening the security at the facility.”
The expansion and renovationproject will be managed in threephases, which includes the demoli-tion of the existing port of entry;the widening of the northboundinspection area; and the installationof up to 60 new primary inspectionbooths.
The project also involves theconstruction of a number of newstructures and buildings, includingprimary and secondary inspection
facilities, an administration build-ing, a headhouse, a pedestrianinspection facility, several pedes-trian bridges and a southboundinspection facility.
“It is a massive project with somany moving parts,” Gibson said.
The first portion of phase Oneconstruction, which began in late2009, includes the demolition ofthe old pedestrian bridge; and theconstruction of a new East/Westpedestrian bridge and five levelemployee parking structure.
Construction of the $11.5 mil-lion pedestrian bridge was award-ed to the Costa Mesa, Calif.-basedClark Construction Group, whobegan work in December 2009.

Two cranes rest atthe site of the futurepedestrian bridge.
Page 40 • February 13, 2010 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • California State Section • Construction Equipment Guide
When completed, the pedestri-an bridge will cross over Interstate5 and the port of entry, betweenthe San Ysidro IntermodalTransportation Center andCamino de la Plaza, and connectto Camino de la Plaza from abridge landing, which will includea pedestrian ramp.
A staircase also will be con-structed at the eastern end of thebridge, connecting to the SanYsidro Intermodal Transit Center,and a pedestrian walkway will bebuilt, according to a GSA projectsummary contained within theEnvironmental Impact Report(EIR) statement.
The existing pedestrian bridgewill remain accessible to pedestri-ans during construction, but willbe demolished after completion ofthe new bridge.
To the west of southboundInterstate 5, a 300-parking space,five-story employee parking struc-ture will be constructed, alongwith a staff pedestrian bridge thatwill connect the parking structureto the operations center.
Construction of the staff bridgewill require the demolition of theformer U.S. Border Patrol (USBP)building and the reconfigurationof the Camiones Way turn-around.
Following construction of thestaff bridge, the existing parkinglot bridge will be demolished.According to Gibson the remain-ing portions of phase one con-struction will begin in the summer
of 2010.These portions include con-
structing six new northbound pri-mary vehicle inspection lanes;demolishing the existing north-bound secondary inspection area;and building a new secondaryinspection and operations centerisland.
The new secondaryinspection area wouldcontain up to 35 inspectionspaces and up to 19 inspec-tion booths. North of thesecondary inspection area,an approximately 2,700 sq.ft. auto seizure building andimpound facility would beconstructed.
A new, 50,000 sq. ft.operations center buildingand 24,000 sq. ft. centralplant also will be construct-ed immediately east of thesecondary inspection area.The existing central plant,which houses electrical andmechanical equipment, willbe demolished followingconstruction of the new plant.
Completion of all phase onework currently is planned for mid-2015, due to the delay in procuringthe remaining construction fundsfor phase two and three, Gibsonsaid, adding GSA is looking atoverlapping construction phases toallow earlier project completion.
As of fiscal year 2009, $293million in funding had beenapproved for the project. Phase
two of the port expansion projectis slated to include the demolitionof the existing pedestrian buildingand the construction of a newadministration and pedestrianbuilding.
The new structure will encom-pass approximately 100,000 sq. ft.and include an approximately20,000 sq. ft. underground deten-tion facility. Additionally, a new
North/South pedestrianramp will be con-structed.
During phase threeconstruction will focus on recon-figuring the southbound facilitiesso that they connect with Mexico’splanned El Chaparral facility.
Proposed portions of the recon-figuration include: the constructionof new secondary inspection areaslanes; the renovation of the exist-ing primary southbound inspectionarea; the construction a new south-bound roadway, at the terminus of
southbound I-5; and the construc-tion of a new southbound pedestri-an crossing facility. A number ofexisting structures also are slated tobe demolished.
The U.S. Customs and BorderProtection, U.S. Border Patrol,Federal Highway Administration,California Department ofTransportation, the nation ofMexico, the City of San Diego,and the City of Tijuana are all proj-ect partners who will work withGSA throughout the project. CEG

Micro Surfacing Overcomes Road Failure Challenges For the past few years, the Utah
Department of Transportation(UDOT) was regularly forced topatch and repair a 9-mi. (14.5 km)section of I-80 — going east andwest — that begins at the top of theWasatch Mountain summit andextends to Salt Lake City, Utah.This section is commonly usedwhile traveling through the touristattraction of Parley’s Canyon, andto the popular resort town of ParkCity. It also was a highly used routeto the 2002 Winter OlympicGames, held in and around SaltLake City.
Previously, the state used anopen graded surface course(OGSC) that was made up of a thinlayer of hot-mix asphalt, com-prised of .5 in. (1.3 cm) aggregate,and provided a smooth and attrac-tive ride for motorists. An OGSCsurface treatment is designed tohave very small voids so precipita-tion seeps through it and drains offthe side of the road. This processoften works well, but not in thispart of Utah. Extremely cold tem-peratures prevented the treatmentfrom bonding correctly to theexisting asphalt overlay. Each win-ter, precipitation froze before get-ting the chance to drain and thencreated major potholes upon thaw-ing. So, the UDOT looked at othersurface options.
“The OGSC lasted only twoyears and it was failing,” saidDeryl Mayhew, UDOT residentengineer and overseer of the proj-ect. “We were patching potholesconstantly because the surface wascracking severely. We have manyfreeze and thaw cycles herebecause it might be in the 20s inthe morning and then up into the50s by the afternoon. The OGSCreally takes a beating during thesecycles, so we decided to see ifmicro surfacing could do betterbecause of its history of being a
good product.” Utah-based Intermountain
Slurry Seal won the Parley’sCanyon I-80 micro surfacing bid.It consisted of six total lanes —three going east and three goingwest — over a stretch of 9 mi.Intermountain Slurry Seal milledthe previous surface and then usedBergkamp Inc.’s M1 full-size con-tinuous micro surfacing paver toapply two layers, or a total of 1.2million sq. yds. (1 million sq m), ofType III micro surfacing treatment.
Mayhew said the results havebeen favorable.
“Last winter we only observedabout seven total potholes goingboth east and west,” said Mayhew.“And honestly, those had more to
do with the underlying asphalt sur-face that failed than the micro sur-facing. With the OGSC, we hadmore than 700 potholes per yearfor the last two years. The microsurfacing treatment has held upwell and doesn’t have the crackingthat we saw with the previoustreatment.”
Intermountain Slurry Seal tookon many challenges when theyexecuted this high-profile job:
Challenge 1: The ExistingSurface. Micro surfacing is idealfor protecting roads in the earlystage of deterioration and serves asa surface treatment that extends thelife of the existing asphalt. It does-n’t provide structural stability tothe road. With the previous surfacein such bad shape, IntermountainSlurry Seal performed a 1.5 in. (3.8cm) mill to remove the unstableOGSC layers before applying themicro surface. Afine head mandrelwith milling tools, or teeth, only.25 in. (.6 cm) apart was used to
create a smooth milling surfacethat appeased ongoing traffic andprovided a better bond between theexisting asphalt and the new microsurfacing treatment.
Challenge 2: UDOTRestrictions. With an average traf-fic volume of 51,000 vehiclesgoing in each direction per day, theUDOT and Intermountain SlurrySeal set up general guidelines tokeep traffic moving as efficientlyas possible. During rush hours, thecontractor was allowed only a sin-gle-lane closure, while off hoursallowed for a double-lane closureto do the necessary milling andsurfacing. Failure to comply withany of these lane closure limita-tions would result in a penalty of$1,500 for every 15-minute viola-tion.
“We did all of the milling workat night due to traffic restrictions,”said Rusty Price, general managerof the Utah-based Intermountain
see UDOT page 46
The micro surfacing mix included a polymer-modified emulsion toforce moisture out of the treatment so traffic could resume on theroad in less than an hour.
Intermountain Slurry Seal applied two micro surfacing layersover a 9-mi. (14.5 km) stretch of I-80 to create a level and safedriving surface.
Page 46 • February 13, 2010 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Paving Section • Construction Equipment Guide
Micro Surface — Existing Asphalt Bonding Process Crucial
Slurry Seal branch. “We cut theroad the full width every night so itwould be ready for motorists thenext day. That meant backing upthe mills and doing smaller stretch-es than normal. On an averagenight, we would cut between 4,500to 5,000 feet.”
Challenge 3: Proper Bonding.Due to temperature fluctuationsand the considerable amount ofsnow the Parley’s Canyon areareceives, proper bonding of thenew micro surface to the existingasphalt was crucial. IntermountainSlurry Seal thoroughly cleaned thesurface so the pavement wouldadhere directly to the new treat-ment. Nearly all of the micro sur-facing was done during the daybecause it adheres better in warmertemperatures, so the contractor wasforced to keep a concise schedule.
Challenge 4: EnvironmentalConcerns. Half of the job includedwork around the water shed reser-voir that supplies drinking water toarea residents. All mill tailings hadto be cleaned from the road eachday to prevent water contamina-tion. Micro surfacing is a greenproduct and is environmentallysafe, but letting it get into the areadrinking water was not an option.Parley’s Canyon draws a lot ofpop-up rain showers, so the crewwatched the weather constantly toensure the rain didn’t wash any-thing into the reservoir. In addition,as a highly travelled road, the crew
made sure everything looked pro-fessional to the public so theyknew the drinking water would bekept safe.
Preserving I-80 for theLong Haul
The Parley’s Canyon section ofI-80 is steep with eight percentgrades, windy and has limited visi-bility at night. The project also wasunique because the micro surfac-ing treatment was put on top of amilled asphalt surface. In mostcases, it is laid over the existingasphalt. Micro surfacing mixturesuse four main ingredients, includ-ing a polymer-modified emulsionthat produces a chemical reactionto force the moisture out andallows it to set in less than an hour— so traffic can return quickly. Intotal, Intermountain Slurry Sealused approximately:
• 16,000 tons (14,515 t) of TypeIII aggregate
• 1,850 tons (1,678 t) of poly-mer-modified emulsion
• 80 tons (72.6 t) of Portlandcement
• 300,000 gal. (1,135 L) ofwater
Due to the environmentalrestrictions, all of the materials hadto be stored at one end of the job.Each day, Bergkamp’s M1 wasfirst loaded with all of the neces-sary materials at the stockpile site.Then four Bergkamp mobile sup-port units and three Flow Boy sup-port units were loaded with materi-al and stationed at specific inter-
vals in front of the continuouspaver. As the paver ran out ofmaterial, a support unit slowlybacked up to the paver, connectedand transferred materials so itcould keep running. Those supportunits then went back to stockpileand refilled.
“This process reduces the num-ber of construction joints, orbumps, in the final surface,” saidPrice. “We also used Bergkamp’svariable width spreader box toadjust to varying pavement widthsand prevent overlap and gaps.Combined with a continuouspaver, this makes the road smoothand consistent for easy driving.”
To ensure a smooth and long-lasting surface, IntermountainSlurry Seal put the micro surfacingtreatment down in two layers. Thefirst layer was used as a scratchcoat to smooth and level the milledroad. It was applied thicker atabout 27 pounds per square yard.The second coat was applied as thefinal driving finish to provideimproved skid resistance and pro-tection against the extreme weath-er conditions. It was applied at 25pounds per square yard.
“When micro surfacing east, wehad a traffic control plan where theheavier trucks ran on the rightshoulder and the other vehicles ranin the normal right lane,” said
Price. “This allowed us to work intwo lanes at one time and still meetthe UDOT’s requirements. Whengoing west, there wasn’t enoughroom to do this so we had to per-form most of the micro surfacingin one-lane increments and thecenter lane at night. With thismicro surfacing treatment, I amconfident it will hold up better andwon’t delaminate from the pave-ment because it keeps precipitationout.”
New Technology AidsIntermountain’s FutureIntermountain Slurry Seal is a
wholly owned subsidiary ofGranite Construction Company,one of the nation’s largest heavycivil contractors and constructionmaterials producers. With a spe-cialty in various pavement preser-vation methods, IntermountainSlurry Seal’s three branches inUtah, Nevada and California worktogether and cover most of thewestern United States. The compa-ny added Bergkamp’s new M1Econtinuous paver to its arsenal andused it to help complement theoriginal M1 unit’s preservation ofI-80. The difference between thetwo units is that the M1E uses theEMCAD (Electronic Mix ControlAnd Diagnostic) System to simpli-fy maintenance and calibration and
help the owner or operator bettermonitor production rates and costs.
“We still like our other units, butwe felt this was the direction thatthe industry was going,” said Price.“This machine doesn’t have anychains or sprockets because it is allhydraulically driven and it has cutour calibration time in half. Andwith this new technology’s com-puterized monitoring system, weknow the percentage of each microsurfacing mix ingredient that goesonto the roadway at all times. Atanytime during or after the job, theowner or contractor can request aprint out of the system to deter-mine whether the contractor ismeeting the required specifica-tions. These pavers last a longtime, so if we didn’t move towardthis new technology now it wouldprobably be at least another tenyears.”
This was the sixth job thatIntermountain Slurry Seal used thenew paver on, doing other microsurfacing jobs in Utah, Wyomingand Idaho.
“The EMCAD System technol-ogy has proven to help reduce cal-ibration by up to two-thirds,” saidBill Cooper, Bergkamp’s sales andmarketing director. “Throughautomation, owners and operators

Mobile support units fed a constant flow of material to the continuous paver, reducing the numberof construction joints produced.
The UDOT chose micro surfacing because of its history of dura-bility to withstand consistent freeze and thaw cycles from fluctu-ating temperatures.

As pavementpreservation’s popularity increases global-ly, this technology is an excellent way toenhance performance and minimize jobcosts.”
Pavement Preservation On theRise in Utah
With the instability of the economytoday, many states are turning to pavementpreservation to keep their roads safe. InUtah a slurry seal costs about $1.30 persquare yard, a chip seal with a fog sealflush is about $1.75, an OGSC treatment isabout $5.00 and micro surfacing treatmentis about $2.50 to $3.00. The section of I-80in Parley’s Canyon was $4.50 per squareyard when combined with the asphalt mill.
“The future for micro surfacing in Utahis very promising,” said Mayhew. “I likethe product because the texture performsvery well, it provides great skid resistance,is very durable and goes down fast. InUtah, it is not uncommon for the elevationto rise 3,000 feet above sea level in a 10-mile stretch, so the cold weather takes abeating on the roads. The micro surfacing
treatment has proven to work very well inboth the low and high altitudes. For thatreason, our use of micro surfacing hasgrown tremendously in the last year or two.I now have a micro surfacing treatment onalmost every project that has a hot-mixasphalt component to it.”
When used as part of an ongoing surfacetreatment program, contractors can avoiddoing a complete mill and overlay formany years. While a mill and 4-in. (10 cm)asphalt overlay provides structural stabilityto the road, it also costs approximately
$20.00 per square yard.“If you want roads to last for 20 or more
years, it’s important to have a consistentplan of how to treat them,” said Price.“Slurry seal is definitely the most econom-ical surface treatment for residential streetsas far as costs go. Micro surfacing is idealfor higher travelled roads and will general-ly last about seven to eight years. Asphaltoverlays have their place, but I think sig-nificant money can be saved by keepingthose structurally sound roads preserved aslong as possible.”
The American Recovery andReinvestment Act (ARRA) is having apositive effect on pavement preservationcontractors as well. Each state is handlingits money differently. While some govern-ments are using the money to do newasphalt overlays, a lot of the money also isgoing toward preservation.
“Looking at the past ten years, I fullyexpect pavement preservation to continueto grow,” said Price. “Whether it’s directlyor indirectly related to the stimulus, peoplehave definitely caught on to its benefits.The future looks good.”

UDOT from page 48Winning Gold 4 Straight Years
In recognition of the obstacles it over-came to successfully preserve I-80, Utah-based Intermountain Slurry Seal was hon-ored for a fourth straight year with theInternational Slurry Surfacing Association(ISSA) President’s Award. The President’sAward is presented to the contractor thatexhibits the highest quality of workman-ship, while complying with the best stan-dards of practice. Each candidate isjudged on overall customer satisfaction,innovation of the project, appearance ofthe road, completion time and safety.
“This is very important to the crew thatperformed the work on I-80 and motivatesthem to continue to raise the bar,” saidRusty Price, general manager of the Utah-based Intermountain Slurry Seal branch.We’ve had an opportunity to do somecomplicated and challenging jobs over thepast four years, and this is an excellentway to pat them on the back for the excel-lent work and attention to quality theyhave shown.”

and 8-ft. wheeled Vision 5103-2 pavers fromVögele America offer versatility forAmerican contractors.
The tracked Vision 5100-2 asphalt paveris 18 ft. 2-in. (5.5 m) long, and with the stan-dard E-Z IV screed, permits 8 to 15 ft. (2.4to 4.6 m) of paving width, at a weight of34,050 lbs. (15,445 kg).
The wheeled Vision 5103-2 asphalt paver,similarly equipped with E-Z IV screed, is 19ft. 9-in. (6 m) long, at a weight of 32,849 lb.(14,900 kg).
Either configuration gives contractors theability to tackle large highway jobs, subur-ban streets, and heavy commercial projectswith optimum smoothness, productivity andeconomy.
“‘Quiet, cool and full of fuel’, was ouroperating mantra in designing the 5100-2and 5103-2,” said Brodie Hutchins, generalmanager, Vögele America Inc.,Chambersburg, Pa. “It sums up what the 8-foot machines needed to be. We kept themquiet, with cooler operating temperatures,but with a large fuel capacity, because most8-foot machines don’t carry enough fuel togo through an entire day of paving.”
“Bigger is better” was not the case here,Hutchins said.
“Our objective was to figure out how toput all the technology improvements of the10-foot machine into an 8-foot, smallerpackage for the customer,” he said. “Wedesigned in ErgoPlus technology, with itsease of operation and integrated leveling sys-tem. It’s exactly the same system as with the10-foot [Vision 5200-2 and 5203-2] pavers.Many of the maintenance-free features of the
10-foot machines have been brought over tothe 8-foot machines. Most important, wekept all of the operator comfort features. Forexample, the operator’s station can extendout beyond the edge of the machine, so theyget the same visibility they do on the 10-footmachines.”
In addition, fuel tank capacities are largerfor greater daily productivity.
“For the 10-foot machines, it’s 106 gal-lons, and for the 8-foot machines it’s 60 gal-lons,” Hutchins said. “That will be enough totake a customer through a 10-hour shift.Also, noise levels, operating temperaturesand fuel capacities all are major issues forthe 8-foot paver market, and we’ve solvedthose problems with the 5100-2 and 5103-2pavers.”
The Vision 5100-2’s independent augerand conveyor drive are equipped with foursensors. The outer center conveyor drive hasnarrow center chain guards. There is betterfeeding under the auger box for reduced cen-ter line segregation, and the pavers havestandard hopper wall thicknesses and func-tional hydraulic apron.
Both 8-ft. machines are powered by aCummins 170 hp (127 kW) Tier III emis-sions-controlled engine. On the 8-ft.machines, there was not the option of plac-ing the fan for exhaust or fumes extraction aswas done for the 5200-2 models, so theexhaust stack is placed differently than withthe 10-ft. machines. The stack is angled for-ward for operator comfort, keeping thenoise, soot and fumes up and away fromhim.

The Worldwide Leader in Concrete Paving Technology
New Name, Structure PlacesFP2 in Stronger Advocacy Role
The former Foundation for PavementPreservation has undergone a legal restruc-turing that will enable it to take advocacypositions for pavement preservation.
The foundation now is known simply asFP2 Inc., and is actively advocating in favorof pavement preservation in the ongoing fed-eral surface transportation reauthorization“inside the Beltway” in 2010.
“With this year’s transition of the formerFoundation for Pavement Preservation, acharitable organization, to FP2 Inc., with amission of promotion of pavement preserva-tion, we are embarking on a fresh start,” saidJ. Baxter Burns II, 2010 president of FP2,and executive vice president, Ergon Asphalt& Emulsions, Jackson, Miss.
Last year the existing FP2 board deter-mined that the foundation’s status as a publiccharity would not permit it to promote pave-ment preservation with the U.S. Congress asreauthorization loomed. Its response was theformation of a new entity, FP2 Inc., a non-profit trade organization that allows advoca-cy.
“FP2 Inc., will now have the ability todeliver far more to its supporters, without therestrictions of being a charity,” Burns said.“Our mission now is to advocate nationalpolicies, and support promotional activities
and research programs that advance pave-ment preservation.”
Promotional efforts will get strong atten-tion from the new FP2.
“We’ll define a beneficial pavementpreservation policy and advocate its adop-tion at all levels of government,” Burns said.“We’ll prepare and distribute new promo-tional information, and create national, uni-fied messages, all to support our new advo-cacy role in pavement preservation.”
In addition, FP2 will continue to be veryvisible at all national and regional tradeshows and conferences, and will continue itsfinancial support of the National Center forPavement Preservation (NCPP).
To this end, FP2 publishes a flagship quar-terly publication, Pavement PreservationJournal, and has extensively revised its Website, fp2.org.
In addition to Burns, FP2’s new slate ofofficers includes Mike Buckingham,Strawser Construction, Columbus, Ohio,vice president; Bob Koleas, WesternEmulsions Inc., Dana Point, Calif., secre-tary; Bill O’Leary, Martin Asphalt Co.,Houston, Texas, treasurer; and JimMoulthrop, Fugro Inc., Austin, Texas, exec-utive director.

Caterpillar has released theCB54, CB54XW and CB64asphalt compactors. The CB54,with 67 in. (170 cm) wide drums,provides a high static force andcompetes in the 8.8 to 12.4 ton (8to 11.3 t) class of asphalt com-pactors at 23,818 lb. (10,804 kg).
The CB54 XW, with 79 in. (200cm) wide drums, is designed forwider lane paving and also com-petes in the 8.8 to 12.4 ton class ofasphalt compactors at 26,230 lb.(11,898 kg).
The CB64, with 84 in. (213 cm)wide drums, is designed for widewidth paving and provides a max-imum weight of 30,291 lb.(13,740 kg).
Cat asphalt compactors featureversatile vibratory systems, a pow-erful Cat C4.4 engine withACERT technology, a reliablewater spray system, and servicefeatures that offer easy access andquick reference. These machinescan be used on all phases ofasphalt compaction, reducing theneed for a variety of rollers. Theywork well as a breakdown or inter-mediate roller because of theirhigh compactive forces. And, dueto the high pounds per linear inch(PLI) exerted by these machines,they also provide excellent resultswhen working in the finish posi-
tion, according to the manufactur-er.
Typical applications includehighways, city streets, countyroads, lane additions, industrialsites, overlays, airport runwaysand other production-sized pavingjobs.
The new frame design providesa clear view to the drum surfacesand spray bars, allowing the oper-ator to easily monitor water sprayperformance. The water spray sys-tem features a single tank, dualpumps, dual spray bars and triplefiltration that provides redundancyin the system and ensures reliableperformance to keep the machineon the mat. Customers will appre-ciate the dual spray bar perform-ance on polymer-modified mixdesigns, rubberized asphalt andother mixes that have a tendencyto stick to the drums, according tothe manufacturer.
Depending on operating condi-tions, the operator can now choosebetween single or dual spray baroperation. The CB54 XW andCB64 models are equipped with18 spray nozzles mounted overeach drum, while the CB54 uti-lizes 14 nozzles.
Caterpillar offers versatilevibratory systems that aredesigned to meet density require-
ments in the fewest number ofpasses while keeping pace withthe paver. Thick lifts and mixdesigns that consist of large aggre-gate, and low levels of filler andbinder are normally tough to com-pact. The five amplitude vibratorysystem offers a wide range ofamplitudes that apply extensiveamounts of force for enhancedperformance on thick lifts andtough mix designs. Versa Vibe is amulti-purpose, vibratory systemthat can handle a variety of mixdesigns. This system providestwo, high amplitude/low frequen-cy settings for tough superpavemix designs, and two, high fre-quency/low amplitude settings tomatch higher paving speeds. Thedual amplitude/dual frequencyvibratory system is similar toVersa Vibe, however, the dualamplitude/dual frequency systemonly utilizes a single amplitudewith each frequency.
The C4.4 engine with ACERTtechnology provides a gross powerof 137 hp (102 kW) and meetsU.S. EPATier III engine emissionsrequirements. The engine isequipped with an ECM that opti-mizes performance on inclines andthick lifts when rolling resistanceis amplified. The centered articula-tion hitch allows the drums to
track in the same path when turn-ing. This feature allows the opera-tor to stay focused on the frontdrum when working close toobstacles, while knowing the reardrum will follow. An optional off-set hitch provides up to 6.65 in.(16.9 cm) of drum offset to eitherside for more coverage.
The centralized station opti-mizes visibility to drum surfaces,drum edges, and both sides of themachine. Multi-position seatingprovides plenty of adjustmentsthat help the operator stay focusedand in control. An impact spac-ing/speed control dial used in con-junction with the propel lever pro-vides a cruise control type featurethat allows the operator to meetthe required impact spacing tokeep pace with the paver. Movingthe propel lever to full forward orto full reverse allows the machineto travel at the speed determinedby the adjustable dial.
An adjustable auto-vibe func-tion allows the operator to deter-mine when the vibratory systemshould engage upon starting out orwhen changing direction. Sinceeach job site requires its ownrolling pattern, the adjustable dialon the console can easily be tai-lored to match compactionrequirements.
Adjustable mirrors (optional onCB54) mounted on the verticaldrum supports greatly enhancevisibility to the drum edges andjob site in general. They are espe-cially effective on the CB54 XWand CB64 models, due to theirwider drums.
The engine and machine ECMsare compatible with Cat ElectronicTechnician, providing quick reso-lution to any issues that may arise.The hydraulic system containsgrouped pressure test ports and oilsampling ports that simplify diag-nostics; there is no need to breakinto the circuit and risk contamina-tion. The filters for engine oil,hydraulic oil, fuel and air, are alleasily accessible, while the drainports utilize remote lines thatmake collection clean and easy.
New features, such as the self-adjusting serpentine belt, the elec-trically actuated Prime Time fuelpump, and the quick-connect jumpstart post, limit service require-ments. The standard 500-hourengine oil change and the 3 year or3,000 hour vibratory bearing oilchange intervals keep service costslow. Extended service intervalshave a positive impact on the bot-tom line by maximizing uptimeand minimizing oil and filterreplacement costs.
The CB64, with 84 in. (213 cm) wide drums, is designed for widewidth paving and provides a maximum weight of 30,291 lb. (13,740 kg).
