MILLER ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND GGG DEMOLITION, INC. Husband and Wife Team Provide Industry-Leading Full Demolition, Remediation and Recycling Services Throughout Southern California

By Brian Hoover, Senior Editor Miller Environmental, Inc. Miller Environmental, Inc. (Miller Environmental) incorporated in 1999 and quickly grew to become a leader in the Southern California demolition and remediation industry.

Gregg Miller started Miller Environmental after first going to work straight out of college at the University of North Carolina to work for an asbestos removal firm in Orange. Miller remembers learning all about asbestos remediation as it had just become regulated a few years earlier. After giving the company his all for 10 years, Miller was put into a position to move on and see what he could do with his own demolition and abatement construction business. Miller Environmental’s first job began in 2000 and it has a fascinating backstory. “My first job was a good one where a large national company was proposing to renovate a 10-story office building in Los Angeles,” says Miller. “I still remember walking into the interview when eight impressive gentlemen from a very large demolition company, dressed to the nines, came walking out.”

Miller was by himself, and shortly 6

Photos provided by Miller Environmental, Inc./GGG Demolition, Inc. after sitting down, they asked him the million-dollar question. “Looks like you just literally started your company yesterday. Why should we hire you?” Miller presented them with an intelligent proposal and a fair price. The interview must of went well because a few weeks later, Miller was notified that he had been awarded the entire interior soft demolition and asbestos abatement contract.

One steppingstone led to another and soon Miller was bidding his next project, which was even more interesting than the first. This large demolition project was to remove a portion of the Hughes Aircraft plant in Culver City that became known as Playa Vista. “We were selected for the project and moved on to the bonding phase,” says Miller. “I soon learned that the project was over our bonding limit as they told me that I would need to provide collateral if I wanted to move forward.” Undaunted, Miller moved on to another bonding company, and a few days later, he had his $3 million bond. “This job turned out to be very important to our newly formed demolition enterprise, as

this single project turned into $35 million of more work over the next eight years,” says Miller. What a learning experience for a new company as the team began to form around this project.

GGG Demolition, Inc. GGG Demolition, Inc. (GGG) is a fully licensed and insured, certified woman-owned business led by majority owner and company president Celin Miller. As a Woman Business Enterprise (WBE), GGG provides additional benefits to clients with WBE requirements. “I met my wife while she was working for a demolition company in San Diego.

One of my buddies called me Triple G because of the three Gs in my first name (Gregg). I always liked the nickname, and so we incorporated GGG Demolition, Inc. as a joke in 2012. Celin was ready to get back into the abatement and demolition business and GGG began officially offering demolition, hazardous waste, and remediation services in 2014 on her first job at Los Angeles City College. GGG focuses on federal, commercial, educational and industrial public works projects.”

C A LCO N T R AC TO R .CO M

Both Miller Environmental and GGG Demolition have been involved in a wide range of construction projects over the past 21 years.

These include everything from tenant improvements, hazardous material abatement projects, and the demolition of a long list of structures in various industries to complete plant closures and contaminated soil remediation jobs. Together, both companies have performed more than $1 billion in contracts since their inceptions.

Qualcomm Stadium Demolition – GGG Demolition, Inc. This landmark stadium has gone by many names over its 53 years of existence. The stadium was officially opened to the public in 1967 under the name San Diego Stadium. From 1981 to 1997, it went

by Jack Murphy Stadium, and then the naming rights went to Qualcomm until 2017. San Diego County Credit Union purchased the naming rights in Sept. 2017, and it remained that way until it closed for good in March 2020. Many still refer to the 70,000plus seat structure as Qualcomm Stadium. The 135-acre site it sat on for decades will soon become the home to SDSU’s new Aztec Stadium. Before that stadium could go up, however, the old one had to come down.

Clark Construction has historically performed a great deal of work for San Diego State (SDSU) over the years and they are the prime contractor overseeing the construction of the new SDSU Aztec Stadium. Clark Construction chose GGG Demolition, Inc. to perform all of the abatement, demolition and crushing work on the old stadium structure. Due to COVID-19, the demolition duties were moved up a year and began in Nov. 2020. “We had to make some quick adjustments to meet our client’s needs,” says Miller.

“We were given 9-months to complete the job, and we will be just about finished here in July.”

GGG’s first phase of work included removing the enormous number of furnishings and fixtures left behind. After this was complete, GGG moved on to the abatement phase, where they removed any small amounts of asbestos and other hazardous materials from the structure. Next came the universal waste removal to include light tubes, ballasts, exit signs, and more. The soft demolition came next, where GGG began removing things like drywall, ceiling tiles, floor coverings, and bathroom fixtures. After all of this was complete, GGG personnel could finally start the structural or hard demolition phase. “We utilized two crews that began working

the schedule from the scoreboard inward. Then our Volvo high-reach excavators went to work at the upper-level bleachers to demo from the top down,” continues Miller.

“We initially entertained implosion, but regulations and the potential for Air Pollution Control District dust control violations pushed us back into the more conventional methods.”

During the height of hard and soft demolition, GGG had a crew of around 100 onsite and 26 pieces of operated equipment. “We started the hard demo with two Volvo high-reach excavators along with numerous other conventional excavators at the ground level for separating the rebar from the DE M O & R EC YC L I N G / 2 0 2 1

concrete materials. We processed around 210,000 tons of concrete using shears, grapples, processors, and a lot of large 10,000 lb., 12,000 lb. and 15,000 lb. breakers,” says Miller. “We also made use of several off-road trucks, track loaders, and skid steer loaders throughout the jobsite.” According to Miller, the concrete was sized to 2-foot by 2-foot sections and then crushed to 1-inch minus. “We subbed the crushing to Griffith Company, and the final product will be left onsite to be used as fill and base material for future projects like the paving of parking lots during new construction.”

According to Miller, his vice president, Rob Schaefer, personally oversaw all operations on the stadium’s demolition. “Rob moved his life down to San Diego for the entire work weeks, and he and his crews have done an amazing job on this high-profile project,” says Miller. Schaefer points out that his crews started by taking down the most challenging portion of the stadium first. “The 1996 addition to the stadium was located on the eastside by the scoreboard.

This area made up around 25% of the entire project area and was very different from the remainder that was originally built in 1967,” says Schaefer. “Building codes were much different in the 60’s and did not call for as much rebar usage. As a result, the new section was full of rebar, and things were slow going at first. However, once we got through this area on each side of the scoreboard, the demo process began to speed up exponentially.”

Miller says that the next big challenge was getting to that highest ring of upper deck bleachers. “We had to create pad benches out of the rubble to put our Volvo high-reach excavators on so that we could reach the highest sections,” continues Miller. “We removed and separated 10,000 tons of rebar, 4,000 tons of steel 8

piles and 180 tons of copper, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.” Miller says that they surpassed all LEED requirements with an overall recycling percentage of 98%. He also says that most of the rebar was exported to SA Recycling on Terminal Island and the other non-ferrous metals went to other various vendors.

Schaefer points to the 1,400 steel piles installed before the stadium’s original construction as another significant challenge and time-consuming phase of demolition. “The initial extraction process for these piles was to use a vibratory rig, and in some cases a crane, to vibrate the beams out of place and then pull them up from the depths. We were able to remove around 400 piles entirely, but 1,000 remained solidified into the sediment layer and could not be excised from the earth,” says Schaefer. “These beams were anywhere from 36 to 100 feet in depth. The owner and general contractor decided to excavate down and torch the beams off at around 46-feet, and then survey them. This was deep enough to not interfere with future construction efforts.”

The Old Riverside Cement Plant – Miller Environmental, Inc. The former Riverside Cement Plant facility needed to come down to make room for the new Agua Mansa Commerce Park in the City of Jurupa Valley. The site was used previously by Riverside Concrete for cement production and mining until its closing in 2014. Miller Environmental was selected to do the complete abatement and demolition of all onsite structures. This included steel and concrete structures, storage silos, empty tanks, conveyor belts, utility tunnels, a cement bagging building, various cement production lines, and a control center and administration building. Miller began demolition in Jan. 2021 and is scheduled to have everything wrapped up by Oct. 2021, even after a significant delay caused by nesting birds.

“The Riverside Cement Plant had been around for 100 years and sat on nearly 200 acres. We are demolishing the complete site so five new buildings can be constructed that will encompass around 4.5 million square feet of warehouse space,” says Miller. { Continued on page 10 } C A LCO N T R AC TO R .CO M

“There were also 47 silos, ranging in height from 40 to 130 feet, and more than 30 structures onsite. In all, I think there were around 150,000 sq. ft. of large vertical steel structures.”

Miller says that there were conveyors everywhere, and the Miller Environmental team removed more than 6,000 tons of steel and rebar. In addition, Miller Environmental processed around 200,000 tons of concrete, crushed onsite by subcontractor, North American Recycling and Crushing. “Our professional crews utilized several excavators equipped with breakers and shears, in addition to our Volvo high-reach excavator. We also went to the wrecking ball to remove the numerous silos onsite.,” continues Miller. “There were 50-acres of columns, footings, and drying beds on the north side and massive, 5-footthick retaining walls that were connected to the conveyor system.

We also removed more than 2,500 trees and turned the bulk of them into firewood. We are working for prime contractor KPRS Construction on this project, and Berner Leon and his team continue to do an outstanding job.”

LAC+USC Medical Center – GGG Demolition, Inc. Demolition is now underway at the LAC+USC Medical Center’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital located in East Los Angeles on the USC Medical Center Campus.

GGG Demolition began clearing the way for a new health care campus in Jan. 2021. The hospital being demolished is on the campus of the long-running television soap opera General Hospital. It had been vacant for the past 10-years due to not meeting current building codes. The structure required extensive retrofitting, so the decision was made to demo and construct the new Restorative Village Psychiatric Hospital in its place. The job began with GGG performing hazardous substance mitigation, followed by the demolition of approximately 440,000 square feet of hospital space and surrounding vacated structures.

According to Miller, the old hospital included two 9-story wings and two 7-story wings. The heavyduty165-foot tall structure also had two levels of underground mechanical and basement, and is said to have been built like a bunker. GGG Demolition started the $11.5 million demolition operation in Jan. 2021, which began with the abatement

of asbestos and other hazardous materials. “Most of the soft demolition was already completed through a separate contract.

Typically, we would consider doing a project like this as a floor by floor where we crane small excavators up to the top level and bring the structure down, floor by floor. We decided against that approach, in favor of the high-reach excavator, wrecking ball combo,” says Miller.

“The penthouse was up at 165’ and we used the old-style wrecking ball to bring down part of that area. This was a safe and efficient alternative, and the client has been pleased with our progress. They have also awarded us additional work across the street that begins next month.”

Miller points out that his 12-person team used six large excavators and one Volvo EC490EHR high-reach machine to bring down and process most of the building. “The client wanted the basement excavation area graded but left open for future building and backfill operations,” says Miller. Dave Anderson is our project manager on this project, and Humberto Garcia is the superintendent. They have done a great job demoing and processing around 41,000 tons of concrete C A LCO N T R AC TO R .CO M

and 3,200 tons of rebar and other metals on this project.

Equipment Fleet and Use of Operated Equipment Rental Miller Environmental and GGG Demolition share a fleet of more than 100 pieces of heavy equipment.

Their combined fleet consists of several dozen excavators, from 4,000 to 180,000 lb. capacities that can be equipped with 40 or so different attachments. They also own and operate 45 skids steers, a track loader, Volvo articulated trucks and Brokk demolition robots.

“We used operated equipment rental companies exclusively for several years. It wasn’t until 2007 that we purchased our first two 100,000 lb. excavators. We had them delivered directly to our Cal State Long Beach job where we took down a 3-story, 100,000 square foot classroom building,” says Miller. “We now have our own large fleet of heavy construction machines, but we still utilize operated equipment rental regularly. The issue is often not the equipment, but rather qualified operators to put on our machines. We have enjoyed working with rental companies such as Savala Equipment Rental and recently started renting operated machines from ECCO Equipment.”

CALCON TRAC TOR.CO M

Miller explains that they have been so busy over the past year where they had around 54 operating engineers working for them at any given time. “I started working with Vince Castellanos from ECCO Equipment in February.

ECCO has been a big help, offering great machines and service at a fair price. Our entire operations team has enjoyed working with the folks at ECCO,” says Miller. “We rented six off-highway trucks from ECCO on the Riverside Cement Plant demolition but used our own operators. We also rented several excavators from 50,000 to 180,000 lb. capacities.” In addition, Miller says that his company also utilized ECCO’s services on the Qualcomm Stadium demolition project. “We rented two rock trucks with operators, five operated excavators and a D8T dozer for a period of time at the peak,” continues Miller.

It is all about having the best possible operators and laborers on every job that we take on. Working with operated equipment rental companies like ECCO helps us to accomplish that goal.”

Together, Miller Environmental and GGG Demolition billed $99 million in 2020, making that the best year in the combined companies history.

The companies, owners and employees feel very fortunate to have been deemed an essential industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. The husband-and-wife team has quickly risen to become one of the largest and most trusted demolition and environmental firms in all of Southern California. Their full-time staff exceeds 380 team members, as both companies continue to take on the most challenging projects. “I am very proud of our dedicated and experienced team members.

Everyone has done such an outstanding job taking us to the top of our industry these past 21 years. I want to thank our office staff, estimators, operators, laborers, mechanics, foremen, superintendents, and everyone at Miller Environmental and GGG Demolition. None of this would have been possible without these individual efforts, and I want them to know that Celin and I both appreciate them very much.” For more information on Miller Environmental, please visit www.millerenvironmental.com or call their Orange headquarters at (714) 385-0099.

ounded in 1961, American Wrecking was later acquired in 1986 by brothers Pepe and Jerry Galaviz.

Now in its third generation, American Wrecking has built upon its stellar reputation as specialists in the art of demolition, environmental remediation, asbestos abatement and hazardous material removal.

Headquartered in South El Monte, American Wrecking utilizes a fleet of over 100 machines to perform an average of 175 projects each year. The company proudly serves Southern California with a 100% success rate for implosions and a 93% average recycling rate.

Sheila Street Demolition Project – Commerce, CA Jerry Gutierrez Jr. Gutierrez now serves the 60-year-old construction firm as estimator and project manager. The following is just a quick snapshot of two of the jobs Gutierrez is currently managing for American Wrecking.

American Wrecking began demolition of 5200 Sheila Street in Commerce April 5, 2021. The project started with abatement of the roof penetration and floor tile. The next step was to perform the soft demolition of everything from drywall and partitions to the remaining flooring, bathroom fixtures and other non-structural elements. The project called for the complete demolition and removal of the 104,888 square foot

office building, 8,065 square foot cafeteria building and surrounding parking lots. The 5.6- acre site will be redeveloped with a modern one-story, 41-foot tall, 114,898 square foot speculative warehouse building. “Our soft demolition phase included the removal of non-ferrous metals, including 80 to 90-tons of copper and aluminum.

We processed another 800-tons of heavy-gauge metal, half of which was rebar,” says Gutierrez. “We

crushed all of the 15,800-tons of concrete onsite with a final recycling rate of 94%.”

Ricardo Arana (foreman), stands in front of a new Volvo EC750EHR highreach excavator, representing the new and improved way to do demo.

The structural hard-demolition of the 4-floor structure was made much easier using American Wrecking’s new Volvo EC750EHR Tier 4 Final-compliant high-reach demolition excavator. The Volvo EC750EHR was also equipped with a LaBounty UPX 950 universal processor. “Our crews demoed in 3-bay sections, 40-feet at a time, bringing down the structure one story at a time,” says Gutierrez. “We hit every column on the perimeter of each level, collapsing, lowering, and processing the walls in the process.” In addition to the Volvo EC750EHR, American Wrecking also utilized a Volvo wheel loader and five additional Volvo excavators equipped with munchers, breakers, buckets and grapples. “We used our Volvo EC350E, EC480E, and EC250E excavators to size the concrete to 2-foot-minus sections, before processing to 2-inch-minus with our mobile crushing unit. All of the crushed material was left onsite as fill and base material for future construction,” continues Gutierrez. “All of the demolition was complete by the end of June, 14

D EMO & R ECYCL I NG / 2 0 2 1

and the credit is due to our owner Pepe Galaviz and his crew for a job well done.” According to Gutierrez, American Wrecking also removed the concrete pads and footings to 5 feet below grade. In addition, 2,586-tons of asphalt was also milled off the parking areas and left onsite for future base material.

Alameda Street Cold Storage Facility Demolition – Los Angeles, CA Gutierrez was also the project manager for the demolition of a cold storage facility located at 668 South Alameda Street in the AVA Arts District of Los Angeles.

The existing 135,000 square foot building was demolished to make room for a new 7-story podiumtype building consisting of 475 live/work units and just under 50,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. American Wrecking began demolition in Sept. 2020 and completed its work in Dec. “Although this former cold storage facility was only one-story, it also had 57-feet high walls that needed to come down within a minimal

footprint. We had Industrial Street on the north side, Alameda on the west side, a restaurant and school on the south side of the property, and other buildings on the east side. Space was limited, and safety was the number one concern on this compact site,” says Gutierrez.

“We positioned debris nets in the school and restaurant area and used innovative techniques to bring down the tilt-up structure panel by panel.”

According to Gutierrez, the job began with asbestos abatement on the roof mastic and some of the tile flooring. American Wrecking then moved on to the soft demolition phase before once again deploying their Volvo EC750EHR high-reach excavator to bring down the 57-foot and 45-foot wall sections. “Half of the work was done at night due to the special measures used to bring down the walls,” says Gutierrez.

“We broke the taller walls at the bottom and created holes at the top to attach cables that were used to pull the sections inward. We had our Volvo 350s and 480s on site to { Continued on page 16 } C A LCO N T R AC TO R .CO M

We were able to achieve an overall recycling rate of 92%. Even with the space constraints, our crews, led by owner Jerry Galaviz, did another outstanding job.”

Goodman Commerce Center Demolition - Los Angeles Glenn Bell is the chief estimator and senior project manager at American Wrecking and has been with the company since 1995, working his way up from his initial position as a $5 an hour intern.

Glenn meets and listens to the client’s needs and advises them on available value engineering methods.

Bell then manages the work from that point to completion. Bell was the project manager on the Goodman Commerce Center (GCC LA) project at 4841 West San Fernando Road in Los Angeles. “We started this three-phase demolition and rehabilitation project in April 2020, and after remobilizing at least 10 times, we finished our portion of the work in September,” says Bell.

“The first phase was to completely gut Building 1, which had previously been used as a distribution center for a well-known grocery store chain. We started by doing the soft demolition, which required removing vast amounts of racking and then basically stripped down the interior to just four walls and a roof. Next, we cut openings for the new rollup doors and sawcut and removed slabs to make room for new elevators and stairs.”

Bell points out that Phase 2 was the real meat and potatoes of the project. “We were contracted to remove around 250,000 square feet of a 102-feet-tall rack supported structure and loading dock system.

The entire section was built with a specialized racking system with a roof and unique skin on the outside,” says Bell. “This 5,000-ton, tube steel, rack supported structure is one of many built back in the 80s but represented the first time our company had ever brought one down.” According to Bell, this particular rack-supported structure was more extensive and taller than other similar buildings. “At the time of bidding on this project, there was not a high-reach excavator available that could reach 102 feet in height. We were prepared to use hand wrecking methods where we would cut the roof open and use cables to pull over each section of racking,” continues Bell. “However, we decided instead to make a huge

capital investment in the new Volvo EC750EHR high-reach demolition excavator that had just become available. The EC750 is the largest production, high-reach excavator available in North America right now, and we accepted delivery just as we were starting this project.”

Bell says that the contract required American Wrecking to deliver the site’s north end in 65 working days. “Meeting the tight schedule was a challenge but our crew, led by foreman, Ricardo Arana, did an exceptional job under pressure,” says Bell. “At the project’s height, we had two foremen working separate portions of the job, along with eight heavy equipment operators and 10 laborers. In all, we demoed and crushed 65,000 tons of concrete to 1-inch minus.

We achieved a 97% recycling rate and left the crushed material onsite for future construction use.” Bell says that they performed minimal { Continued on page 18 }

abatement of floor tile and drywall joint compound. We also removed and recycled steel, reusable lumber and non-ferrous metals like aluminum and a substantial amount of copper.

American Wrecking maintained the salvage rights on this project, where the scrap value represented a portion of their pay. “We took a gamble and decided not to sell the copper right away, which turned out to be a smart decision. Copper prices are up almost 100% from this time last year, and we still have not yet sold,” continues Bell.

“On the flip side, steel prices went down significantly at the beginning of this project but came back up to acceptable levels before the end of the job.”

After the entire rack-supported structure was brought down, American Wrecking moved on to the third phase, where they went after the sturdy foundation. “Most buildings have perimeter footings and column foundations. The weight is distributed differently on this particular type of structure and because of this, the building had a mat foundation,” says Bell.

“So, a 40-foot band of concrete going inward included 36 inches of double mat rebar, while the center was 30-inches thick with a 18

D EMO & R ECYCL I NG / 2 0 2 1

single mat rebar.” Bell explains that they attacked the mat foundation with their 1967 Lima conventional crane, equipped with an 8,000pound wrecking ball. “We used the crane to lift the wrecking ball to 25 or 35 feet and just let it freefall. This weakened the mat by creating fissures or cracks so that the excavators could come in and segregate the rebar from the concrete, minimizing the use of hydraulic hammers,” continues Bell.

According to Bell, the eastern side of the building was right up against San Fernando Boulevard with high voltage lines only 10 feet away. “We do all the necessary planning with our engineers and follow the plan, but always anticipate potential safety risks.

The last section of racking was not as stable, and it was difficult to keep it standing on its own,” says Bell. “We cut the racking at 90-feet, tied six and a quarter-inch cables to these sections, and used six of our excavators to pull them inward, away from the high-voltage lines.”

Bell also points out that there was lots of torching going on, particularly at the bottom of the racking system so it would pull over easier. “95% of the work was done with our Volvo EC750 high-reach excavator.

We used this amazing demolition

machine to trim the roof section back to create access to what I refer to as the next slice of bread or section of support racking,” continues Bell. “We are phasing out our other units as they reach the end of their lifecycle in favor of Volvo machines. Volvo is putting out a great product. They got smart about the way they manufactured their demolition machines. We had to armor our units, upgrade the pumps, and install new hydraulic lines in the past. Volvo went after the demolition market with excavators that are ready to go right off the production line, saving us both time and money.”

Working hard and honoring family are at the heart of American Wrecking. Now in its 60th year, the company has more than 100 employees, including several family members.

ecycled Aggregate Materials Company, Inc. (RAMCO) is a third-generation familyowned leader in the construction materials recycling industry. For nearly 75 years, RAMCO has supplied quality and competitively priced recycled aggregate materials to the

20

D EMO & R ECYCL I NG / 2 0 2 1

Southern California construction marketplace. Founder, Ralph Newman started in 1947 operating Newman & Sons, Inc., one of the largest and most successful grading and paving enterprises in greater Los Angeles. Ralph’s son, Dennis, eventually took over the reins of the business and began

pursuing his interest in recycled concrete and asphalt. Although the Newman family still maintains their paving and grading license, they made the move to the aggregate recycling and production business in 1976.

RAMCO is now led by thirdgeneration family member President

and CEO, Ken Newman. With Ken at the helm, the company has soared to new heights and continues to meet and exceed tonnage goals with each passing year. On average, the company will recycle close to 1-million tons of material each year through its four facilities in Sun Valley, Rialto, Beaumont, and Escondido. They receive their concrete, asphalt and other materials from contractors and agencies like Caltrans, City of L.A., and a small percentage from homeowners. The demoed material comes into RAMCO yards from several types of jobsites, including the removal of curbs, gutters, concrete foundations, patios, sidewalks, and concrete pools, to entire buildings, highways, bridges, roads and airports. RAMCO crushes and sizes the material into several road base product offerings, including Class 2, CMB, PMB, Class 3, RCA #3 (1” minus), RCA #4 (3/8” rock), RCA 3” Minus Rock, and Fill Sand. RAMCO also offers Concrete Slurry Water Recycling services. They use a filter press to take slurry water and

CALCON TRAC TOR.CO M

produce a filtrate completely free of suspended solids. The water is then used onsite for dust control, while the cement solids are turned into a very low-moisture cake that is added into the recycled aggregate products.

Dallas Jones is the vice president of operations at RAMCO, and he oversees all four aggregate facilities from the company’s headquarters in Simi Valley. “This business is somewhat of a balancing act where we are consistently managing how much material is coming into our facilities versus how much we are selling,” says Jones. “Space constraints at some locations are also a daily concern.

There is only so much space, and I can tell you it is never big enough. As removals are coming in and product is going out, one pile may be bigger than another.

The balancing act is with keeping the flow going at all times and not running out or having too much material on one end or the other.”

According to Jones, RAMCO’s high-quality product and tremendous emphasis on excellent

customer service set them apart.

“We get them in and back out to their jobsite as quickly and safely as possible. No one likes to wait around to get loaded and we are ever respectful of our customer’s time and bottom line. From dispatch and billing to loading and unloading services, our clients know they can always expect the same, prompt, friendly, professional service.”

Dump trucks, ten-wheelers, roll-offs, and trailers constantly enter through RAMCO’s gates to unload their asphalt and concrete.

RAMCO also accepts sand and rebar for an additional charge.

Crushing huge chunks of concrete and asphalt requires robust and durable equipment, and RAMCO relies on only the highest quality heavy equipment at their recycling facilities. Mike Anselmo is the general manager of the Rialto location, where they take in more than 250,000 tons of material every year. “As our volume continued to increase, we found ourselves in the market for a new mobile crusher that we could move between

DE M O & R EC YC L I N G / 2 0 2 1

21

facilities to keep the process moving smoothly,” says Anselmo.

“We looked at several makes and models and finally decided to go with the Kleemann MR 130i EVO 2 mobile impact crusher.”

Anselmo was afforded the incredible opportunity of touring the Wirtgen America manufacturing facility in Nashville, where Kleemann crushers and other Wirtgen Group products are assembled. “I was impressed with just how many Kleemann machines they had in stock, ready for delivery. I was fortunate to meet one of the senior mechanics, and he gave me an indepth inside tour,” continues Anselmo. “I got a closeup and personal look at the cones and the jaws as they were breaking down the machines. I was just so impressed with the heavy-duty

quality of every component and the innovative details that go into these amazing crushing units.”

RAMCO utilizes crushers, conveyors, screening equipment, and heavy construction machines to keep the manufacturing process moving forward. Every RAMCO location has at least two Cat (988

or 980) wheel loaders to load the material into the hoppers, move it into piles, and then load out trucks as they enter the facility.

“We run 24/7 here in Rialto, and that means that our equipment sees an extraordinary amount of use. We demoed and took a close look at several different units, and the Kleemann was the best built machine,” says Anselmo. “The setup and maintenance are so much easier than other machines.

It is just extremely easy to use, and things like changing out bearings or changing screens can be done with ease, compared to the tight access problems that some of the other manufactures seem to have.”

VP of Operations, Dallas Jones, is also very impressed with the Kleemann product line. { Continued on page 24 }

{ Continued from page 22 }

“Kleemann is a new addition to our crusher capabilities, and it will surely help us grow as we utilize it in several new areas. The MR 130i is a portable unit and puts out more than I have witnessed with other portable crushing plants of the size,” says Jones. “I have to say that I am impressed with the volume our new Kleemann puts out as a portable machine. We will use it to float between locations where it is needed most and would like to add another Kleemann crusher to our fleet soon.”

RAMCO purchased their Kleemann MOBIREX MR 130i EVO2 impact crusher from NixonEgli Equipment Co. Jones explains the decision-making process in more detail. “Chris Doring (a representative from Nixon-Egli) came around a while back and took the time to introduce me to the entire Kleemann line of products. I remember thinking that a Kleemann crusher would be nice

24

D EMO & R ECYCL I NG / 2 0 2 1

to add to our fleet someday,” says Jones. “Well that day finally arrived as we met with our new Nixon-Egli representative, Shari Sendejo, who was extremely knowledgeable and knew the product line inside and out. This was our first purchase from Nixon-Egli, but when the time comes to expand our operations even further, Kleemann and Nixon-Egli will be a big part of that transition.”

Jones and Anselmo both agree that purchasing a Kleemann crusher is a lot like buying an elite high-end vehicle. “The best is always a little more expensive, but as they say, “you get what you pay for,” continues Jones. “Nixon-Egli arranged for speedy and seamless delivery, and we put our new Kleemann crusher to work right away. We immediately noticed how great it was to have the continuous feed system. We also appreciate the large feeding unit, the double-deck prescreen, and the SPECTIVE control system that is so simple and intuitive to operate.”

Other exceptional features of the Kleemann MR 130i EVO 2 mobile impact crusher include a highperformance secondary screening unit and innovative c-shape rotor ledges. The Kleemann also has a turning device for simple and safe rotor positioning, a return conveyor for closed material circuit, in addition to fast and simple Quick Track operating mode, and a crusher inlet width of 1300 mm.

Kleemann manufactures mobile jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, screening plants and stockpile conveyors.

CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF LEONARD SAVALA CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ICON AND FAMILY PATRIARCH

Left: Leonard Savala the founder of Savala Equipment Company.

Above: Savala family at Thanksgiving in 2020.

Leonard Savala, founder of Savala Equipment Company passed away in late May of 2021. He is survived by his wife Kathleen of 59 years, six children, Cathy Reynolds, Leonard Savala Jr., Erin Oskorus, Sean Savala, Shannon Savala, and Kelley Dyer as well as sixteen grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

Leonard had a private burial and was laid to rest on June 2, 2021.

Leonard had a love of music from an early age and learned to play the trumpet at Mount Carmel High School. He was invited to play at the Rose Bowl and the Shrine Auditorium twice. After auditioning at Loyola University, Leonard was invited to go on tour with the Rams Marching Band. Unfortunately, he had to turn down the offer.

Leonard was always a firm believer in integrity and hard work--working as many as three jobs at one time. While Leonard was working as General Superintendent for Oswald Bros., his father became ill and was unable to run his company, George Savala Paving. Leonard attempted to help by working for both companies for several months. Soon after, Leonard took over George Savala Paving full time and through countless hours of hard work and perseverance he was able to turn the company around.

26

D EMO & R ECYCL I NG / 2 0 2 1

He founded Savala Construction in 1961 and turned to underground construction. Leonard made the company a success through strong work ethics, honesty, and treating everyone with respect. He was always around to grab a shovel, hop on a machine, or map out a job with a foreman. In the early 1960’s, Leonard began using the trademark Savala “white cab” to be able to tell his equipment and trucks from those of other contractors. During this busy time, Leonard met the love of his life Kathleen in Westchester, California. They started a family soon after and eventually settled in Villa Park. In 1978, he decided to expand the business by forming Savala Equipment Company. As the business grew, it became a family affair, with five of his children and three of his grandchildren currently working for the company.

In the late 70’s, Leonard and Kathleen created Villa Park Farms and began breeding and showing Morgan Horses to keep the family close and to teach their kids responsibility and teamwork. The family traveled the California circuit and ended the season at Oklahoma City for Nationals, with many of their horses being named National Champions in the early 80’s.

Through the years, Leonard continued to advocate for the construction industry as a member of the Associated General Contractors of California.

C A LCO N T R AC TO R .CO M

He enjoyed serving as PAC Chairman, dealing with local government and state officials--he was never afraid to track down a politician and express his opinion about an issue.

He won numerous awards, including 2000 Businessman of the Year, 1998 Contractor Achievement Award, and 1980 Contractor of the Year. Leonard was also active in the community, serving as the Industry and Commerce Chairman for the Muscular Dystrophy Association as well as Fund Raiser Chair for Canyon Acres Abused Children’s Home.

The past few years, Leonard and Kathy enjoyed regular getaways to Indian Wells, fine dining, and spending time with family. Leonard continued to trade the stock market, and remained actively involved in Savala Equipment Company’s operations, buying, and selling equipment.

He was the true Patriarch of the Savala family and will be greatly missed.

In Leonard’s memory, you may send a contribution to St. Joseph Hospital Foundation sjofoundation.org or Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) www.choc.org.
