Sizable growth in new construction of single-family homes and a high level of construction of roads and bridges are positive expectations for 2010 as the industry and the nation hope for a stronger economic recovery from high unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcies and other continuing myriad problems.

By Thomas Houck SPECIAL TO CEG

Jim is a small business owner who’s been watching the economy evaporate in front of his eyes. Stress isn’t the word to explain how he feels. With his wife staying at home to raise their youngest child, his business bears the entire financial burden of funding their mortgage and lifestyle. If the slowdown continues, not only

will his nightly tossing and turning get worse, but he may also have a full-blown nervous breakdown.

Jim is fortunate to have a neighbor, Ken, who helps small business owners lead better lives by running better businesses. Since his business had gone so well for the past 10 years, Jim never felt he needed a consultant. Until now. His gracious neighbor Ken offered Jim two hours of his

Stalled Construction of Brooks Construction Finds Way Chicago Skyscraper to Keep 25 New Skid Steers Busy May Start Again Soon

By Don Babwin ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

CHICAGO (AP) Construction of a Santiago Calatrava-designed tower that would be North America’s tallest building may move forward due to unions that not only want their workers to build it but are trying to put together a deal to help pay for it.

A group of union pension funds — eager to provide work for union workers — are in talks to loan $170 million to Irish developer Shelbourne Development Group so construction of the twisting 2,000-ft. (600-m)-high Chicago Spire can resume as soon as early next year.

The CN Tower in Toronto, at 1,815 ft. (553 m), is North America’s tallest freestanding structure. Chicago’s Willis Tower, formerly called the Sears Tower, is the tallest U.S. building at 1,451 ft. (442 m).

The Spire, which won city approval and saw workers break ground in 2007, has sat dormant for a year since the global financial crisis triggered various fights involving bankers, the architect and the developer, bringing work to a standstill.

The loan would pay off the estimated $64 million loan made by Anglo Irish Bank and satisfy various liens to firms that have worked on the Spire, including one by a firm associated with Calatrava. The Spaniard stopped working on the project, claiming the developer owed him more than $11 million.

Tom Villanova, president of the Chicago and Cook County Building and Construction Trades Council, said the money would come from an AFL-CIO pension fund and Union Life Insurance Co., and perhaps pension funds from various locals.

The reason, he said, is simple.

“This would be 7.5 million man-hours for my members and I have locals that have 30 percent unemployment,” said Villanova, whose group represents two dozen unions with about 100,000 members. He said the project — which Shelbourne said would take about four years to complete — would mean work for as many as 1,000 union workers.

Villanova didn’t know exactly when an agreement could be reached. But he said he is “very optimistic and hopeful” that it’ll happen.

He downplayed the risk of investing in a skyscraper that will house nearly 1,200 condos in a city flooded with so many new condos that owners in some parts of the city have struggled to sell them.

For one thing, he said, unions have been making these kinds of loans for years. He said, for example, the AFL-CIO fund has invested more in Chicago — about $1 billion — than in any other U.S. city.

Also, the project is years away from completion, meaning there’s plenty of time for the market to improve. Besides, he said, the deal now being considered would make the trusts the property’s first mortgage holder, meaning the trusts would be “first in line” to take possession of the lakefront property if the project failed.

Shelbourne doesn’t think that will happen. In March 2008 the developer said more than 30 percent of the units had been sold. And while spokeswoman Kim Metcalfe said the company continues to use that figure, she said there have been more sales since then and that because of “a little loosening up on the lending side” recently, Shelbourne is confident sales will pick up.

The condominiums start at $750,000 each, with most costing between $2 million and $15 million, she said.

One analyst said the project being at least a few years away from completion could work in the Spire’s favor.

Gail Lissner, vice president of Appraisal Research Counselors, a Chicago real estate consulting firm, said after next year — when 900 downtown condos are expected to be completed — and 2011, when 86 are slated to be finished, there is little on the horizon.

Although they are used every day, the 25 skid we use them for the prep work on resurfacing jobs, steer loaders owned by Brooks Construction cleanup after milling and around our asphalt plants.

The 100-year-old family-owned business, one of the Midwest’s premier highway construction firms and site development contractors, needs all of its equipment on the job in order to meet rigid construction standards and critical deadlines.

“We had Bobcat loaders for many years,” said Steve Koble, vice president of operations. “This year, when economic conditions dictated purchasing loaders and keeping them for three to five years, our preference was the Bobcat brand.”

As a result of this decision, Brooks ordered eighteen S185 and three S250 skid steer loaders and four T190 compact of Brooks Construction’s 25 new loaders is paired track loaders from Bobcat of Fort Wayne. One with a high-flow planer attachment to mill asphalt on a road construction project near Fort Wayne, Ind.

Hard-Working Loaders While other equipment is used to put down the asphalt, each of the 25 Bobcat loaders, typically with a two-person crew, is a key component in most Brooks Construction jobs.

“There is almost no limit to the variety of work we can do with these machines,” Koble said. “We use them to fine grade, and replace hand labor on stone base jobs, sidewalks and patching projects.

With our three 40-in. Bobcat high-flow planers we mill around driveways, parking lots and sidewalks.

Our 10 Bobcat sweeper attachments are a godsend;

for Brooks Construction: additional business.

“Homeowners and business owners see our equipment working on a job and because they recognize the versatility of Bobcat loaders, they ask if we can do a job for them,” Koble said. “Even though we do many multimillion-dollar projects a year, we are always happy to provide an estimate to anyone. Bobcat equipment is ideal for large projects and small ones as well.”

Metrolift Expands Yard in Chicago Metrolift Inc., an independently owned, full service provider of aerial lift equipment and services announced Dec. 18 that it has leased 30,000 sq. ft. in additional shop space with two acres of yard space adjacent to its existing location in the Chicago suburb.

Growing rental volume plus expansion of Metrolift Sales & Service LP Wholesale division facilitated the need for additional indoor and outdoor space.

“2009 has been a challenging year overall, but we have several bright spots to focus on,” stated Metrolift Inc. President Rick Dahl. “Our wholesale division is doing extremely well and our rental and service businesses remain profitable despite shrinking revenues and declining rental rates. Plus ancillary services have remained solid throughout the entire year.”

Metrolift is the second largest single location

equipment rental company in the United States.

“Our goal is to always keep overhead at a minimum to remain competitive in our marketplace,” stated Tony Moore, CFO Metrolift Inc. By operating from a single facility, economies of scale and efficiencies are realized, according to the company.

“While the future of the Chicago construction market remains in question for 2010, Metrolift is well positioned financially and operationally to effectively service our customers,” Moore said.

The company also invested more than $2 million in rental fleet assets this year while several area competitors discontinued fleet purchases and shrunk their overall fleet size in 2009.

for consumers “adds close to 200,000 additional sales.” This credit is $8,000 for a firsttime homebuyer and $6,500 for a repeat homebuyer. It was to have ended with Nov. 30 settlements but has been extended to June 30.

Single-family housing starts are a veryimportant leading indicator for the national economy.

“We think we saw the bottom of the curve in the first quarter of 2009, and then sales started to slowly improve,” Markstein said.

“In March, we hit 332,000 sales of singlefamily homes. In October, however, new housing starts were up 5.1 percent over 2008 and 6.2 percent over September. As the upturn continues, it will help pull the national economy out of recession. Residential construction accounts for about 15 percent or 16 percent of gross domestic product [GDP] — about 3 percent from direct construction and the rest from housing-related services like appliances.

Though the improvement in starts is relatively slow compared with previous recoveries because of obstacles like tight financing, we see the economy, including construction and employment, turning around during the second or third quarter of 2010.”

Another bright spot was that sales of existing homes in October were 23.5 percent higher than October 2008, and 10.1 percent higher than in September 2009. (Note: this is for all existing sales, single-family and condo. Comparable single-family sales numbers were 21.4 percent and 9.7 percent, respectively. The median price of a single family home was $173,100 in October, down 6.8 percent than the year before.)

The National Association of Realtors reported on Dec. 22 that sales of existing homes in November were 44.1 percent higher than in November 2008, and 7.4 percent above October 2009.

Other building areas aren’t coming back as fast as the single-family area. Multi-family starts fell 54 percent in 2009 but are expected to improve 16 percent in dollars and 14 percent in units in 2010, according to the 2010 Construction Outlook from McGraw-Hill Construction in New York.

“This still leaves activity about even with the bottom of the early 1990’s recession,” the Outlook said. Construction of nonresidential

buildings has been much weaker through most of 2009, though it climbed 19 percent in October to $177.9 billion (annual rate).

“For nonresidential building, much of 2009 has been characterized by a steep loss of momentum, so October’s gain represents a departure from recent experience,” the Outlook added, saying commercial building starts dropped 43 percent during 2009 and are expected to drop another 4 percent in dollar terms in 2010.

Reed Construction Data reported in early December, however, that the value of nonresidential construction starts in November

tions overall in 2010 bit by bit, but it will be very uneven and I think construction will be far behind. I think we will see more construction of universities and hospitals during the second half of 2010, but most segments will not improve until 2011. The construction industry isn’t in recovery yet.”

Robert A. Murray, vice president of economics of McGraw-Hill Construction, said in a telephone interview with CEG: “To say construction is in recovery is premature. It depends on whether you’re looking at construction spending vs. starts, on the type of projects and on the timeframe, such as year

see modest support for multi-family housing as the result of funding from Housing and Urban Development. In contrast, commercial building is looking at a difficult year in 2010 following a steep decline in 2009.

Bank lending standards remain very tight.

Even if bank lending shows some improvement in 2010, weak employment means that the market fundamentals for commercial building will continue to deteriorate, with rising vacancies.”

was “more than a 20 percent increase after seasonal adjustment” from the October total, with nonresidential starts increasing 16 percent.

Ken Simonson, chief economist of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) in Arlington, Va., said that singlefamily housing construction spending “will be up 20 percent to 30 percent in 2010 off a very-low base [compared with 2009] while multi-family construction spending will probably be down 20 to 30 percent.”

Simonson thus saw a mixed picture for the residential construction industry at present, rather than a full-fledged recovery.

“Family homebuilding, helped selectively by stimulus legislation, is on the cusp of a strong comeback in percentage terms,” he said, “but this will not be enough to offset the continuing drop in multi-family and private non-residential work. I think we are in for a gradual improvement in economic condi-

over year, or month over month. Our forecast calls for a 25 percent decline in the dollar value of construction starts in 2009.

Construction spending is down 13 percent through the first 10 months of 2009. Given the leading relation of starts to spending, it suggests that spending will continue to weaken into 2010. At the same time, we’re also looking at an 11 percent improvement in starts, to $466.2 billion in 2010.”

Murray added: “Single-family housing has reached bottom and has begun to edge upward. Highway and bridge work has improved in 2009 and this should continue in 2010, supported by the Federal Stimulus Act. Environmental public works has yet to see much improvement in 2009, but, supported by the stimulus act, should strengthen in 2010. Courthouse projects have picked up, thanks to the stimulus, and the benefits to a broader range of institutional types, including health care projects, should continue. We

Record infrastructure spending on highways and bridges will provide more work in 2010.

The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) included $27.5 billion for this sector, which currently accounts for about 12 percent of the construction market. This is in addition to an estimated $41.2 billion in Fiscal 2010 appropriations for the highway program.

(As CEG went to press, the House of Representatives in late December passed another jobs creation stimulus bill, which includes an additional $27.5 billion for highways and bridges.)

“This is a record level of federal investment through the federal aid program and the extra stimulus funds,” said Alison Premo Black, vice president of policy and economist of the American Road & Transportation

AED President Assesses Economic Outlook for Dealers AED: Working to Create a Better 2010

FORECAST from page 14

Builders Association (ARTBA) in Washington, D.C. “We expect that the value of highway, street and bridge construction put in place during 2010 will reach 90.5 billion. The real value of construction put in place has also increased in 2009, to $83 billion or maybe a little higher, due to a combined easing of material prices and the extra spending from the stimulus program. The highway construction market should grow eight percent next year, aided by extra money from federal investment and by easing of material prices.”

Black is worried, however, about a possible contraction of the market in 2011.

“The stimulus was a one-time injection,” she told CEG. “It helped this year and certainly will help the market next year, but because it’s not a sustained increase in funding you will have some market contraction, which could be a status quo year [in 2011]. Our model is forecasting a contraction in 2011 absent increased funding from either federal, state or local governments, as the stimulus spending works its way through the market. Our model indicates that a robust federal investment would create a ‘soft landing,’ or even some growth, in 2011.”

“The stimulus kept 2009 from being a disaster,” said Ken Simonson, the AGC economist. “State DOTs were busy reducing their planned lettings, but once the President signed the stimulus bill, they were able to restore a lot of projects. We estimate the recovery act included $135 billion for construc-

tion, of which $27.5 billion was for highways. The highway money was awarded quite promptly. The rest has not yet been awarded or spent, so I think in 2010 you will see more and more stimulus money showing up in other areas.”

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in Washington, D.C., reported that, as of Nov. 20, 2009, a total of 10,600 transportation projects worth more than $30 billion have been approved for funding under ARRA. “Of the 9,300 highway construction projects authorized to date, more than half — 5,458 projects — were either under construction or had already been completed,” AASHTO said, also reporting 355 airport projects worth $1.08 billion and 690 transit grants worth $7.19 billion have been approved. It also told Congress that state transportation departments have identified 9,500 highway, bridge, port, rail and aviation projects worth more than $69 billion that, if funded, “can be used to create hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country.” It said most of these projects were “ready to go,” meaning they can move through the federal approval process within 120 days of authorizing legislation. The report was based on responses from 50 states and the District of Columbia.

ARTBA’s Black reported in a Dec. 7 release that “another indicator of work to come is the high level of obligations for ARRA funding — over 77 percent of stimulus funds have been obligated, but only $4 billion, or 16 percent of the total funding available, has been paid to contractors.”

“When you add it all up, there is a lot of work to be completed in the coming year,” she said.

Reauthorizing the Highway Bill The SAFETEA-LU transportation bill, enacted in 2005, provided more than $286 billion for highways, bridge and transit. It expired Sept. 30, 2009.

Since then, continuing resolutions in Congress, and the new ARRA money, have funded continued work.

President Obama has suggested an 18-month extension of SAFETEA-LU. “It’s a very-fluid situation with differences between the House, Senate and the Obama resolution,” said ARTBA’s Black.

Black said that “industry does not like short-term extensions because money is given out in dribs and drabs; states might hold out on spending that money until they are more confident on what that spending stream will be for the year.

“At ARTBA we will advocate a sixyear bill,” Black added. “A longer period helps contractors plan their capital spending on project equipment because they know they will have a certain stream of revenue from the federal aid program, which is about 34 percent of the [highway and bridge] market and really helps create stability in this market. You don’t see this stability in other construction sectors. The stimulus is not a substitute for a sustained, increased, federal investment in highways and bridges. Federal investment is approximately 40 to 45 percent of see FORECAST page 28

In the following interview with Construction Equipment Guide (CEG), Toby Mack, president and chief executive officer of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) in Oak Brook, Ill., assessed the economic challenges facing dealers.

Could you assess the current status of the equipment distributor business?

There’s not much good news. Our industry remains at or near the bottom of the [business] cycle. If you talk to most equipment dealers you’ll find that they are not sure if they have even hit bottom yet. There still could be some further weakness in the first or second quarter of 2010 beyond where we are right now. That’s not very encouraging.

What are the positives in the current market?

One of the most hopeful things, which also will be very difficult to materialize, is government accelerating their passage of a multi-year highway bill, which is the thing, which a lot of contractors are going to need to see before they are going to be willing to invest in a long-term asset.

They will do that when they see a long-term utilization prospect. A multi-year highway bill will do that for many categories of equipment. A dependable, consistent, multi-year bill is the biggest hope out there for a piece of equipment, which has a utilization prospect of three, five, or more years.

If that passed, would business pick up for dealers?

Sure. That’s one of the things historically that has driven a lot of activity at the dealer level, not just new machine deliveries but support, rentals, parts. It’s all very much underpinned by highway and other kinds of infrastructure projects. So that’s the one thing that could turn things around.

Having just returned from Washington, I would say it’s going to be a struggle to get that done much before the middle of next year and possibly later, so we’re not going to see any effects that might have come into play until later in 2010, if that. see AED page 28

“Peel And Stick” Engine Preheater The ‘peel & stick’ Universal Preheater attaches to the bottom or the side of the oil pan and converts the housing into a heat transfer element. It warms the oil without burning it making cold starts easy. It can be used on gearboxes, transmissions, transfer cases, water tanks and even bulk oil tanks. The Preheater plugs into any 120 or 240 volt outlet and consists of a thin silicone fiberglass pad containing a metal grid. To install it, you clean an area on the bottom or side of the oil pan and press the pad onto it, then use silicone to seal the edges of the pad and place a flexible ceramic insulation pad over it. It is available in several models depending on the lube capacity. A 50 watt unit sells for $42 and a 350 watt unit sells for $133.

NEW: The Universal Filter Preheater is designed for diesel fuel filter housings, for lube oil and hydraulic filters too (specify hyd. size). It wraps around the filter housing and reduces or eliminates the possibility of cold weather fuel gelling stopping the engine. It is easily removable and transferable and is wired for your choice of: direct current or alternating current or a convertible model combining dc and ac. A standard 12V or 24V Universal Fuel Filter Preheater is priced at $138.

Pawlenty: Cost, Not Design Plagues Vikings Stadium Job ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Gov. Tim Pawlenty is tempering expectations around a new football stadium a day after a public commission released a fresh design and cost figures.

On his weekly radio show, Pawlenty reacted to the latest twist in the Vikings stadium debate.

Pawlenty said the design part is easy and the real struggle is over financing. In his words, “Anybody can hire an architect and design a stadium. The problem is who is

going to pay for it.”

The Republican governor met with the Vikings owners and told them he won’t allow a state tax increase toward a stadium.

He said diverting existing taxes would be “dicey.”

On Dec. 17, consultants showed off renderings for a stadium envisioned for the current Metrodome site. They said it would cost $870 million if construction begins next year.

Case Construction Refurbishes 500th Military Loader Case Construction Equipment has completed remanufacturing of its 500th MW24C wheel loader under contract with U.S. Army TACOM (Tank, Automotive and Armaments Command) and the Army National Guard.

During the past six years, Case has been called on to remanufacture 250 wheel loaders for the National Guard and reset another 250 units for TACOM. Remanufacturing includes complete machine disassembly, inspection, refurbishment, reassembly and thorough testing. Reset units receive a full inspection and the repair or replacement of worn parts, resulting in full restoration to Army performance standards. These refurbishing processes can extend the machines’ life spans by as much as 15 years, according to the manufacturer.

Case remanufactures and resets equipment for the military at the Case Remanufacturing Center, located at Fort McCoy in western Wisconsin. The company also employs a local workforce, including many current or retired Army National Guard and Reserve members.

“Completing work on our 500th machine marks an important milestone in our partnership with the U.S. military,” said Chris Rolsen, Case Remanufacturing Center general manager. “This six-year program has proven successful for the Army, the National Guard, the local community and Case.

Knowing that we are putting this equipment back to mission-capable standards means we are directly supporting America’s troops worldwide. This is a great source of pride for our employees at Fort McCoy.” Originally put into service in the early 1980s, the Case MW24C wheel loaders have performed in demanding and sometimes hostile environments throughout the world. Today’s refurbished units have returned to the job, serving in a variety of mission-critical applications.

In addition to the wheel loader agreements, Case refurbishes M4K roughterrain forklifts under contract to TACOM at the Remanufacturing Center, and to date has overhauled 280 units. The Remanufacturing Center also provides parts and technical support to reset operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Case remanufactures and resets equipment for the military, like the Case MW24C wheel loader, at the Case Remanufacturing Center, located at Fort McCoy in western Wisconsin. Case employs a local workforce, including many current or retired Army National Guard and Reserve members.

McLaughlin Locators Tackle Underground Locating Jobs

By Greg Ehm SPECIAL TO CEG

When it comes to locating underground facilities, Greg Gissler and his team are relentless in their efforts to identify what lies below the surface. This team takes immense pride in their work and it shows as this division of INTREN (formerly Trench-it) is growing by leaps and bounds every year.

Gissler is the foreman of the locating department for INTREN based in Union, Ill. Founded in 1988, INTREN was in the right place at the right time: a project catapulted this company into the utilities installation business, and the rest is, as they say, history.

Today, INTREN is recognized as a provider of inside, outside, underground and overhead electrical, gas and telecommunications services.

“I believe our success is directly tied to our honesty and integrity in completing a job,” said Howie Borst, project manager with INTREN. “Our employees take great pride in their work, and our clients can see that on the job site.”

Locating underground facilities is not an easy job these days. The vast array of lines in the ground has made underground installation projects challenging. This is where the One Call systems come into play. However, for many projects the One Call marks only identify utilities only in the easements, so project owners are left to find other alternatives when locating existing underground infrastructure on their private property.

“We do a lot of private locates for developers, as well as substations, fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants,” said Gissler. “We hire experienced locators with an average of 17 years in the industry and we don’t spare any expense when it comes to their safety and equipment.”

In fact, Gissler carries eight different locators in his truck alone, and depending on the situation he may use every one on a single project just to make sure his marks are as accurate as possible. On one project near Richland, Ill., Gissler used five different locators to find a 64 kV line, but it was worth the effort to make sure the contractor wasn’t going to hit anything.

“We are trying to isolate cables without everything being grounded to the same system, which is a challenge,” said Gissler.

“Isolating a cable from one manhole to another can be difficult and direct connections aren’t an option in the substations and nuclear plants. So we take multiple approaches to give our clients the most accurate information possible. Nothing is 100 percent, but we get pretty close.”

No matter the project, INTREN encourages the customer to be on the job site during the locate process. This is not the case

with some locating contractors, but INTREN believes in providing firsthand experience to its customers as they will have a better idea of what’s in the ground from this experience rather than just looking at the prints.

Customers provide a print of the area to be located and INTREN goes off the print, but it also works to make sure the prints actually match what’s in the ground.

“In some cases we find lines that aren’t noted on the prints,” said Gissler. “If we find something that’s not on the print, we add it and if the customer is with us, they can see the location of the lines firsthand.”

Pekin Project Presents Challenges Gissler and his team recently completed one of the most difficult locating projects in his recent career. Midwest Generation is installing new scrubber units to its Powerton Generating Station located in Pekin, Ill. The original plant, constructed in 1928, generates 1.5 MW of electricity to meet the needs of 1.8 million households. The addition of the scrubbing units required Midwest Generation to relocate a railroad spur, lighting, and some buildings.

The initial portion of the project included an effort to locate the existing underground infrastructure. This was vital to the expansion as the new scrubber units required footings that would be placed up to 70 ft. (21 m) deep and due to the vast network of ducts

and lines, the construction crew did not want to unexpectedly hit an active or inactive line or duct. The pilings were to be placed neckto-neck and the construction firm had only a 6-in. (15 cm) window to relocate the ductwork if required.

Due to expansions and demolition projects on the site, there were no solid records of what lines were still active or inactive.

“Basically the ground was full of old and new communication, gas, electric and water lines and no one really had a solid blueprint as to which were active or abandoned lines,” said Gissler. “So we were given the prints and tasked with the challenge of going out into basically an empty parking lot to find this stuff.”

The project challenged Gissler and his team, but he soon discovered that the new McLaughlin Verifier G2 utility locator he purchased earlier in the year shined on this project. The Verifier G2 offers four active frequencies for utility location as well as passive power, and passive utility modes. The unit can be used in the direct, indirect or coil clamp mode for inducing signal to the utility. With depths up to 30 ft. (9 m) this unit can handle most locating jobs, according to the manufacturer.

Using prints and the McLaughlin locator, the team identified the underground facilities and staked each line and duct with colorcoded lathe. Once the lines or ductwork were identified and all interference removed,

a vacuum excavator was used to pothole and verify the actual line and location.

“We’d pothole and verify the edge of the duct runs in case they had to be moved 6 inches one way or the other,” said Gissler.

“In the past, no one had bothered to pothole and verify if the lines were active or not.”

In one instance the team had to go into the basement of the plant, which was three stories underground, to identify a line that eventually led to a manhole outside. There was a substantial amount of interference, but the team found the line and followed it through the plant and back outside. Once outside, they discovered that the manhole indicated on the prints was not visible as it had been covered by an asphalt access road. So they dug down and found the manhole and verified the line.

“We gave our customer prints identifying the active and inactive lines and the surveyors knew the location of the ducts and what lines were in each duct,” said Gissler. “We probably spent almost two months on this project and it was one of the most challenging in my career.”

Training INTREN has made safety and product training a priority. Every employee must complete a safety course before they are allowed on a job site. This includes gathering basic information regarding the safety protocols of the customer before arriving onsite.

In addition, Gissler will conduct random locate audits.

“I will show up on a site and randomly check the marks just to make sure the locator operator marks are accurate so when the underground contractor shows up there are no unexpected issues,” said Gissler. “In addition, I will just ride along with our team members and observe their locating technique. Normally they are doing everything right, but it’s just another check system.”

The crew also calibrates their equipment every morning to make sure the locators are working correctly. Each locator is tested to make sure it meets the manufacturer’s recommendations. Some units have a tendency to move out of calibration because the antennas move inside the unit. According to Gissler that’s not the case with McLaughlin.

“Due to the design of the McLaughlin locator the antennas are hard set into the unit and can’t move compared to our other units,” said Gissler. “We really don’t worry about the McLaughlin unit being out of calibration, which is nice.”

To Gissler it boils down to having the best equipment money can buy for his crew.

“It’s one of those machines that you might as well not go to work unless you have it with you,” said Gissler.

total capital outlays for highways and bridges in the United States.”

William R. Buechner, ARTBA’s vice president of economics and research, said that, without a long-term surface transportation investment bill, “conditions are again lined up to kill job growth in the construction sector and related industries” Warning that without such a bill, “we’re looking at a constricting or flat market for the next several years,” he said surveys found that 15 states cut transportation program funding in 2009 and 19 states were planning to cut such funding in 2010.

“I think Congress will keep passing short-term extensions at current levels, and then some one-shot funding, as they did in the stimulus bill,” said AGC’s Simonson.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has proposed a $500-billion six-year bill, called the Surface Transportation Authorization Act of 2009.

Christian Klein, vice president, government affairs, and Washington Counsel for the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) Washington, D.C., office, commented to CEG: “The most important thing we’re working on is the highway bill because the uncertainty surrounding the highway reauthorization has caused chaos in the equipment market. Contractors are sitting on their hands. They’re not buying equipment because they have no idea how much money is coming down the pike. They don’t know if highway funding is going to increase, decrease or stay the same. A robust multi-year highway bill

is the single most important thing Congress can do to introduce stability in construction.”

Klein also asserted: “Stimulus money has helped and has saved jobs, but it has often gone out to small projects like repaving, not on big capital projects that will be a long-term infrastructure approach. It’s a short burst, not a long-term recovery plan. The better way to do it is to have a multi-year investment plan over the next six year, providing in the area of 100 percent more than we’ve spent over the last six years. What part of job creation don’t they [Congress] understand?”

Dealers Voice Serious Concerns Toby Mack, president and chief executive officer of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) in Oak Brook, Ill., said in a telephone interview with CEG the construction industry “remains at or near the bottom of the [business] cycle,” with much uncertainty among equipment dealers.

AED’s Klein told CEG: “AED and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers [AEM] have concluded in a report on the economic health of our industry that, since 2006, equipment manufacturers and distributors have collectively laid off 37 percent of their workforce.”

Klein said the loss includes 257,000 direct jobs in the equipment industry plus another 274,000 indirect jobs like people servicing beverage machines at distributor and manufacturer locations.

“We conclude that two out of every 25 jobs lost since the recession began in 2006 can be linked the downturn in our

industry,” he said, adding: “Another big thing is tight credit. The entire supply chain is affected. Developers can’t get credit to build projects. Contractors can’t get credit to buy equipment.

Distributors can’t get credit to run their companies. Manufacturers can’t get credit to run their businesses. The credit chaos is throughout construction.”

Worries Continue About Highway Trust Fund.

“It is clear that there is not enough revenue going into the Highway Trust Fund [HTF] to support the level of investment needed to maintain or improve the existing transportation network,” ARTBA’s Black told CEG. “There is a cumulative $90.4 billion dollar gap for Fiscal Year 2010 through 2015 between the current baseline of funding under the existing law and what the HTF can support absent new revenues.”

Easing Unemployment The increased single-family housing and highway work are seen as hopeful signs for easing high unemployment in construction. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Dec. 4 that the unemployment rate in construction rose to 19.4 percent in November, the highest of any industry, with the loss of 27,700 construction jobs.

Nationally, the rate for all industries fell from 10.2 percent to 10 percent.

McGraw-Hill’s Robert Murray commented to CEG: “Some improvement may be possible by the end of 2010 but more substantial gains in construction see FORECAST page 58

How many jobs have been lost in the equipment distributor field?

About 550,000 (Editors Note: This figure includes indirect jobs, like food and beverage workers depending on dealer business.) That was as of September. We think there has been substantial additional job loss since then. We wouldn’t be surprised to see some additional job loss between now and the end of the first half. So it’s just not a pretty picture.

Are there any bright spots?

Dealers who either by geography or customer base are serving metal extraction or energy production markets. Coal mining has been a little bit better. Gold has been strong, of course. Anything related to oil fields has been good. Some dealers also have some presence in agriculture, and that has certainly been healthier than construction. If you are a dealer in the mining or agriculture area, you are probably doing better than the guys who depend on construction.

How many dealers have gone out of business?

I don’t have any metric for you on that, but we have seen quite a bit of it, not just closing up, but being acquired by neighboring dealers. There have also been some flat-out business failures. It’s just gut-wrenching to see it because a lot of these companies which have been in business for a couple of generations — 30, 40, 50, 60 years in some cases — are just not going to be able to make it. We’re doing everything we can as an association to buoy the market and help companies struggle through and continue to hang on by their fingernails. It’s tough. You talk to any one of them and you’ll get the same story. There’s just nothing going on out there That includes both used and new equipment?

Used is in rough shape, too, because as companies have tried to scale down, they’ve had to shed rental fleets and inventory. That has put a lot of iron out on the used equipment market. Then, of course, when you have no end demand and a lot of supply, will have a downward effect on prices. With very few customers for rental fleets, there’s not a lot of rental demand and so rental utilization and rental rates are down. Then you have the product support business. Few, or none, of the machines out there are running, you will have less product support business. It just is not a very good picture. see AED page 58

Crushing, Screening & Recycling Section Tube City IMS Taps 870 ASpecials for Gary Works Facility When it came time for Tube City IMS to The 870 A special is at work in the replace the aging pedestal cranes used to Gary Works yard. feed the balers at its Gary Works facility, Sennebogen material handlers were on the short-list of Jamie Estill, senior vice president maintenance, and David Coslov, vice president of maintenance/equipment.

Coslov said, “We have had a long and rewarding relationship with the Sennebogen company dating back to the early 2000s. In fact, Tube City helped the company when it was first getting established in North America. We purchased the first two Sennebogen 870 rubber-tired machines in North America in 2001. So when we were looking for replacement pedestal cranes to feed our balers, we knew that Sennebogen engineers would come up with a reliable purpose-built solution for our particular application.”

Shortly after a trip to the Sennebogen factory in Germany, Tube City IMS purchased two Sennebogen 870 A special electric drive pedestal mounted material handlers for its Gary operations. One is outfitted with a 72-in. (182 cm) magnet, while the other is equipped with a 3-2 grapple.

Both machines feed the facility’s two Harris 6034 balers.

“Since our Sennebogen 870 A specials went into operation, we have noticed a few things.

Initially there was a significant increase in the facility’s productivity. This has been matched with a corresponding noticeable reduction in our Erich Sennebogen (L) and David Coslov of Tube City operating costs,” said Coslov. IMS stand in front of one of the 870 A specials, the “Our goal was to increase our latest addition to the fleet. capacity — and the Sennebogen machines have allowed us to do consider an 870 to replace our existing that and more.” pedestal crane, we thought it would be advantageous to have John accompany us to Baler Crane Operator Germany.

for real-life experience and arranged for John to operate similar pedestal cranes at the factory and at several scrap facilities. As an 18-year Tube City employee and holder of one of the company’s highest production rates feeding the baler, we knew John’s input was pertinent to our final decision.”

Coslov said that Tube City IMS management was much more comfortable acquiring the Sennebogen pedestal-mounted machines with Kipper’s recommendation and approval.

Gary Facility’s Niche — Scrap Optimization According to Coslov, scrap optimization is the niche of the Tube City IMS Gary, Ind., facility. Strategically placed scales are used to provide scrap blends to two US Steel steelmaking shops at the facility. The 870 A specials feed scrap into two balers, which bale material from US Steel as well as outside purchased clip/baling material.

“Scrap optimization enables us to create maximum value for customers through scrap mix determination,” said Coslov. “This process was designed to improve the steel maker's bottom line.”

The increased productivity and uptime afforded by the company’s two Sennebogen 870 A specials goes a long way in guaranteeing scrap optimization, said Coslov.

“In addition to being extremely old, our former pedestal cranes offered much less capacity and had major manufacturing flaws which made them prone to major costly

Tube City IMS, Howell Tractor, Sennebogen Coslov extoled the nature of the relationship that Tube City IMS has developed with Sennebogen and local distributor, Howell Tractor & Equipment Sales.

“When we were spec’ing the machines, Phil Wichowsky at Howell Tractor communicated a lot of our questions and concerns to the Sennebogen factory. We got the answers we needed quickly and expeditiously,” said Coslov. “After purchase, they have provided quality service and maintain a parts inventory that complements our needs and meets our expectations.

“Product integrity and vendor/manufacturer service and support are important factors for any company to take into account when purchasing equipment,” said Coslov.

“In this regard, Sennebogen has an excellent product and a great support network. Owner and Managing Director Erich Sennebogen is committed to North America and meeting the needs of his customers.”

“Our long-term relationship with David Coslov and Tube City IMS is one of mutual respect,” said Erich Sennebogen, Sennebogen owner and managing director.

“Over the years we have listened carefully to their needs and responded to meet their application requirements. It is a relationship that has been mutually beneficial for both partners.”

“As a customer-driven organization, we strive to respond to the needs of all of our customers,” said Constantino Lannes, Sennebogen LLC president. “We listen to what our customers require in terms of their unique job applications and then put our engineers to work in developing the best solution to their needs. In meeting the needs of customers like Tube City IMS, we have achieved our position as the leading manufacturer and provider of purpose-built material handlers.”

Morbark Lineup Includes Variety of Auxiliary Equipment In addition to grinding and chipping equipment Morbark also manufactures auxiliary equipment — from heavy duty brush rakes to 360 degree grapples to debris shears.

Morbark offers two models of debris shears, the Model 60 and the Model 40. The Model 60 handles wood up to 60 in. (152 cm) in diameter and can split and shear material both in and out of the ground. The weld-on tips and blades are replaceable making maintenance quick and easy. The Model 60 is rated for a carrier with a weight classification between 55,000 and 80,000 lbs. (25,000 and 32,290 kg).

The more compact Model 40 also is equipped with a replaceable blade and tips, and rated for 30,000- to 50,000-lb. (13,608 to 22,680 kg) carriers. This shear is operated from existing carrier hydraulic circuitry and no additional hydraulics are necessary.

Morbark debris shears reduce the size of large diameter stumps and logs being fed into the machine, which increases productivity, according to the manufacturer.

Morbark brush rakes are designed with close proximity bottom tines to allow the picking up and carrying of stumps, logs, brush, pallets, C & D material, regrind and more. Brush rakes are available with 11 or 13 tines. The

rake design allows dirt to shake out through the bottom tines so that large quantities of dirt will not be fed into the grinder. This unit takes less than five minutes to attach to the front-end wheel loader with two simple hydraulic hoses providing power to the top tines. The brush rake allows the material to be brought to the grinder, instead of bringing the grinder to the material, saving time and money.

Morbark’s latest addition to the attachment line-up is the Model 60 debris grapple. Two heavy-duty Morbark’s latest addition to the attachment line-up is the Model 60 debris grapple. Two heavy-duty hydraulic motors with spur gears allow for 360 degree continuous rotation of the grapple.

The Model 60 handles wood up to 60 in. (152 cm) in diameter and can split and shear material both in and out of the ground.

Model 40 is equipped with a replaceable blade and tips, and is rated for 30,000- to 50,000-lb. carriers (13,608 to 22,680 kg).

hydraulic motors with spur gears allow for 360 degree continuous rotation of the grapple.

In addition to swiveling, the grapple pivots to its side, making clean-up under a grinder a snap.

Just sweep the grapple underneath the infeed bed to push or pull material out. This attachment allows feeding from any position or side with less travel time, increasing efficiency.

Lucky Robison, vice president of Research and Development at Morbark said, “The use of Morbark attachments can greatly increase the efficiency of land clearing and other grinding operations, and the replaceable parts on these units make maintenance easy.”

Practical Tips for Buying Breakers Could Boost Job-Site Production Contractors are typically interested in how hard a breaker hits — how much impact energy it can produce.

Standard breaker spec sheets include impact rates, working tool diameter, operating specifications and a weight range of appropriate carriers. But things can get complicated with power output claims that are often based on estimates. In 1991, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) developed a testing system that provided an objective standard for comparing hydraulic breaker power output. Today, only a handful of companies publish those standardized impact energy ratings. This leaves buyers with power specs that appear to be based on the same measurement scale, but they really aren’t.

The most reliable measurement is the AEM Impact Energy Rating in foot-pounds, which is calculated by measuring the energy created at the breaker’s working tool, to show the power the breaker makes available for actual breaking. The test itself must be certified by an independent AEM observer.

Because some other current methods of reporting the hydraulic breaker impact energy can be unreliable, here are some practical tips for breaker comparison.

• Match breaker to current carrier. If a contractor already

owns a carrier, that immediately narrows the field of suitable breakers. For some jobs a customer can use the smallest recommended breaker for his carrier. Other applications will demand the largest.

• Tool diameter trick. Most breakers have a piston and working tool with the same diameter. Measure tool diameter to determine piston diameter. A half-inch difference may seem small, but does translate to a more massive piston.

Generally a bigger piston delivers more impact energy.

• Oil flow. “Hydraulic breaker” may suggest that hydraulic oil flow produces all the hitting power. Not always. Some breakers are 100-percent oil-fired, but others feature a nitrogen gas assist. Those 100-percent oil-fired breakers need more flow to function than gas assist breakers, and the carrier will have to burn more fuel to move the higher oil volume.

• Right for the job. It’s more convenient to put a breaker on an existing carrier, but applications sometimes require more power. At a minimum the breaker must break through the material. Beyond that, a deadline or other circumstance may call for a given production rate. Make sure the breaker can meet the demands.

In 1991, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) developed a testing system that provided an objective standard for comparing hydraulic breaker power output. Today, only a handful of companies publish those standardized impact energy ratings.

Ill.’s Route 59 Reconstruction Divided Into Five Contracts

Several major intersections along the route will be improved: Ft. Beggs Drive, Renwick Road, Caton Farm Road, Theodore Street and Black Road.

MAKEOVER from page 1

Mike Wiater, acting construction supervisor for South Cook and Will Counties, Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), it has been in the planning stage for many years.

An estimated 24,000 vehicles use this route daily, with the I-55 interchange serving approximately 11,000 vehicles per day.

Those numbers are expected to rise, due to extensive development taking place throughout Will County in recent years, which has generated more traffic. Much of the area is zoned commercial or residential, so extensive development means there are several big box stores and subdivisions, adding to congestion.

Plainfield, Shorewood and Joliet are expected to continue to grow, but the area’s original pavement, laid in the 1930s or 1940s, isn’t able to handle the current volume of traffic safely or efficiently, let alone any increased amount.

“We got our money’s worth out of it,” Wiater said, but the time has come to reconstruct IL Rt. 59 to reduce congestion and provide a safer roadway.

He said the DOT understands the big impact on traffic and is working to minimize disruption and delays. Luckily, he added, they have received “great support and cooperation from the local municipalities.”

Five in One The project consists of five contracts, totaling $88 million as let, with 80 percent of

the funding from federal sources. Three of the contracts are roadway projects that include widening and reconstruction and a new interchange at I-55 and 59. The section of I-55 between Chicago and St. Louis was built as an alternate route for U.S. Highway 66. Built to 1960s standards, Wiater said, it’s

Along most of the 7-mi. length, two new lanes are already complete, with traffic shifted to accommodate work on the other two lanes.

in need of reconstruction. Longer merging distances and other safety improvements will be incorporated.

Two advance contracts also were included. D Construction, based in Coal City, is the general contractor on three of the five contracts; Chicago’s Walsh Construction is the

In additions to the improvements to IL Rt. 59, the bridge that carries IL Rt. 59 over the DuPage River north of Caton Farm Road will be reconstructed.

GC for the other two. Utility work began in the fall of 2008, followed by road work in the spring of 2009.

Before any work could begin, Wiater said a substantial amount of right-of-way acquisition had to be worked out, except for the north end of the project in downtown Plainfield, where crews worked within the existing ROW, tight as it was.

Several major intersections along the route will be improved: Ft. Beggs Drive, Renwick Road, Caton Farm Road, Theodore Street and Black Road. In addition, a new interchange will be constructed where IL Rt. 59 joins I-55 in Shorewood at the south end of the project.

In additions to the improvements to IL Rt. 59, the bridge that carries IL Rt. 59 over the DuPage River north of Caton Farm Road will be reconstructed. Formerly a two-lane road with shoulders, Wiater indicated that when completed, it will feature two lanes in each direction, sidewalks on both sides and a barrier median.

“It will be roughly three times wider than it was.”

The existing bridge over the river and another bridge will be demolished, Wiater said. Crews have already constructed the first third of the river bridge outside of the existing bridge in order not to divert traffic.

“It’s stage construction to move traffic with no detour. The whole project is stage see MAKEOVER page 47

Reducing Stress, Thinking Clearly Key Components of Staying Afloat SURVIVAL from page 1

your QuickBooks or check register to get a grasp of this monetary movement.

• Trim the fat Many small businesses experienced a tremendous run in the last 10 to 15 years. Since they had good cash flow coming in the door, they allowed fat to accumulate in the things going out the door. Now is the time to look at where your money is going, and eliminate unnecessary items. This includes the business Hummer, that expensive copier lease and the T1 connection instead of basic cable modem. You may need to make some tough decisions about eliminating employees. It’s critical that you get your cash outflows to a manageable level ASAP.

result in the demise of your business.

Say “No” to using credit cards, the equity in your home, or any other borrowing. Resolve that you’re going to scratch and claw your way through this using the cash flows of the business.

You’ll come out stronger in the end.

• Be ready for an emergency You absolutely must have cash reserves, just in case. If you have any money right now, create an emergency fund that 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-

them how they’re doing, and if there’s anything you can do to help them out.

Ask if they’re happy with your service, and what can you do to provide them with an even better experience going forward.

• Work on the important things Many business owners are in the same predicament as you. The ones who survive will do so because they’ll do the things above ASAP and get their ship righted. You must make time to work on your cash flows, and improve the customers’ experience now. Set aside a full day within the next week to work on the items above, without interruptions and excuses.

Entrepreneurs have a sink-or-swim, do-or-die mentality. Focus on the right things, and you’ll get through this.

• Look into the future When clients and projects were rolling, most entrepreneurs believed that new business would materialize whenever things temporarily slowed down. Those times are gone. Analyze what money is coming in during the next three months, specifically from where, and when. Compare this to the new cash outflows that you assessed in the step above. If things are tight, that’s fine; if more is going out than coming in, trim more and find additional income. Do this exercise each month, always looking at least three months out.

• Get back to basics When you first went into business, you may have had to fight and claw to make ends meet. Make a list of the things you did back then to bring in revenue. You probably moved away from many of those strategies when business improved. This is the time to aggressively return to them.

• Avoid the temptation of debt It’s tempting to use debt and credit cards to borrow your way through slow times. Since no one knows how long this slump will last, borrowing may

thing bad comes along at the worst possible time. If you don’t have cash now, do everything you can to build up such a reserve.

• Show your banker a plan Your banker is probably as scared as you are. Show him a concrete plan for getting cash flows back in shape. Ask your CPA to help you format it. Once it’s complete, communicate to your banker clearly, and ask him to help you implement it. If you’re working with a quality financial institution, he’ll want to see you make it, and help you any way he can.

• Know who lays the golden eggs Don’t forget who’s paying your bills right now — your customers. Although you want new business, it’s imperative that you keep your existing customers.

Your competition is desperate, and they may try anything to get your customers. Call your clients yourself, ask

• Reduce stress The difference between the businesses that will get through this slowdown, and those that won’t, has a lot to do with the quality of decisions. To make great ones, you must think clearly.

When you’re stressed, it’s nearly impossible to make big decisions and show the leadership that’s needed to survive. Some suggestions to lower your stress level include: a daily 10minute relaxation CD that walks you through deep breathing and stretching; yoga; exercise; and outdoor activities with your family. Anything that allows you to get your 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.

Kenworth T470s the Right Size for Sedgwick County in Kansas

The T470 has a gross vehicle rating (GVW) ranging from a heavy Class 7 vehicle at 33,000 lbs. (14,968 kg) up to a light Class 8 truck at 68,000 lbs. (30,844 kg).

“We hit the sweet spot,” said a smiling Rex Victory. That’s how the heavy equipment supervisor of Sedgwick County described the eight Kenworth T470s, which were spec’d and recently placed into operation for snowplow and dump truck duty.

“We’ve spec’d Class 7 trucks in the past for snowplow applications and they’ve proved to be too light for our needs,” said Victory. “And, full-size Class 8s offer more than we need and at a higher price tag. The T470 is the perfect match between light and brawn — it’s in the sweet spot for us and we were thrilled that Kenworth introduced the new model and that it won the bid for our business.”

Sedgwick County is the first county to operate the new Kenworth T470.

The new Kenworth T470 offers Kenworth performance and durability for snowplow, dump, mixer, winch, refuse, and other heavy front-axle vocational and municipal applications. The T470 has a gross vehicle rating (GVW) ranging from a heavy Class 7 vehicle at 33,000 lbs. (14,968 kg) up to a light Class 8 truck at 68,000 lbs.

Sedgwick County maintains 680 mi. of road surrounding Wichita and outlying areas — about 1,000 sq. mi. All but one of the 23 Class 7 and 8 trucks in the department are equipped with snowplows for snow season, which lasts from November through March.

Innovator Brake Control Mounts Directly on Trailers The new Innovator brake control from Innovative Electronics, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, mounts directly on electric brake trailers rather than traditional hardwiring a unit into the tow vehicle. Featuring wireless operation, the Innovator allows multiple vehicles to tow a trailer without the need for spending hundreds of dollars for hardwiring a vehicle, saving fleet owners money and giving rental companies the flexibility to offer electric brake trailers for any vehicle with towing capabilities.

The Innovator allows companies to realize the ease and convenience of hydraulic surge brakes while using cost-effective and environmentally friendly electric brake trailers, according to the manufacturer.

The self-contained Innovator ships complete with everything necessary for installation and operation. The unit monitors itself hundreds of times per second to ensure the trailer hitch maintains neutral positioning, providing smooth braking with no jerky or sudden movements.

The Innovator mounts to any one-, two- or three-axle trailer within 15 minutes. The brake control unit mounts either to the trailer’s existing jack plate or directly to the frame. Two wire connections — one to the trailer’s battery and a second to the brake wire — are simply made. Since the brake control ties directly into the trailer, the Innovator does not interfere with the tow vehicle’s warranty, cruise control operation or braking system, and it will not harm the trailer’s electrical sys-

tem or the control unit itself if the wires are accidentally connected backwards.

Once all connections are made, the operator sets the load with the wireless transmitter, which automatically establishes its own signal with the control unit. If the trailer’s battery power is low, the unit will automatically turn itself off, so as not to drain the voltage.

The Innovator fully complies with Department of Transportation regulations by allowing the tow vehicle operator to actuate the trailer’s brakes without stepping on the tow vehicle’s brake pedal. Its wireless transmitter control offers three brake settings: unloaded, fully loaded and test. The test function allows the driver to apply the trailer’s brakes to correct occurrences of “trailer sway,” allowing the trailer to fall back in line with the tow vehicle.

The advanced design of the Innovator’s wireless system guards against cross contamination of other signals, delivering optimal operating safety. If the handheld remote is misplaced, the system will automatically default itself to a fully loaded setting and will operate completely independent of the remote. Additionally, the Innovator does need to be plugged into the tow vehicle’s accessory plug or dash like other brake controls, leaving the vehicle cab free from clutter and outlets open for charging phones and operating other portable electronic devices.

IMT Expands Into New Manufacturing Facility in McIntire Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. (IMT), an Oshkosh Corporation company, has expanded its manufacturing operations into McIntire, Iowa, by opening a new facility to han-

dle its increased welding activities. The plant opening created about 40 welding jobs. IMT also has hired more welders at its main facility in Garner, Iowa.

Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. has expanded its manufacturing operations into McIntire, Iowa, by opening a new facility to handle its increased welding activities.

Despite the global recession, business at IMT increased significantly in 2009, primarily due to a partnership between IMT and its parent company, Oshkosh Corporation, that supports the military’s need for new equipment overseas. IMT has been designing and manufacturing lifting equipment specifically for military applications since 2008.

“With the increased workload at IMT, it became clear that we would need to expand our operations to meet demand,” said Steve Fairbanks, IMT president. “In these tough economic times, this is great news for IMT and our community.

Our manufacturing expansion not only supports our military efforts, but also allows us to quickly respond to increased customer needs when the economy improves.”

The grand opening event took place Dec. 15, 2009, and the facility is now fully up and running.

“These new employees join our experienced workforce at IMT,” Fairbanks said. “Our sales, engineering and technical support teams have more than 600 years of combined IMT experience, which is unprecedented in our industry.”

IDOTto Complete Route 59 Project by Summer 2010

Time, Weather Crews have been working a schedule of extended hours (10 a.m. to 12 p.m.) six days a week in an attempt to meet the anticipated completion date in the summer of 2010.

However, the schedule is somewhat weather-dependent.

“The challenge is the weather,” Wiater explained. “We had a cool, wet summer and we got historic amounts of rain in October.”

Rain is particularly problematic on this project because it involves a lot of earthwork.

“There’s earthwork along the whole project,” Wiater confirmed.

Most of it is borrow, brought in from offsite, for use on the I-55 interchange and in other spots.

“There’s no way to protect it if it’s wet.”

Crews disc the soil to dry it out more quickly. Wiater joked that disking equipment is the only specific piece of equipment required in the contract.

“It’s DOT standard.”

Although weather has affected the schedule, Wiater believes they can still finish on time. He said crews will try to work through the winter if they can, focusing on underground sewer work.

Along most of the 7-mi. length, two new lanes are already complete, with traffic shifted to accommodate work on the other two lanes.

“We’ve already built the sewers, curb and gutter and poured the pavement.”

Next year, the plan calls for finishing the remaining lanes, median and landscaping.

Instead, traffic is being shifted and crews are working next to traffic, with barricades and some barrier walls for protection.

The new roadway will be jointed concrete pavement, a typical, standard mix commonly used that is designed with microbubbles to allow space for expansion if water freezes.

It’s a pretty standard job, Wiater said, with no unusual equipment, materials or procedures and so far, no surprises and few challenges, other than the weather.

The PZL-1 positioning zone laser transmitter operates similarly to a standard rotating laser, but is designed to send a wall of light 33 ft. (10 m) tall and up to 2,000 ft.

(610 m) in diameter.

The PZS-1 positioning zone sensor (for mobile rover applications) enables the grade setter to control elevation on the site with millimeter accuracy. The PZS-1 is mounted to a range pole to receive the PZL-1 laser signal and wirelessly transmits data to a rover.

Schneider Excavating Achieves Critical Base for Turf

By Jeff Winke SPECIAL TO CEG

“Our company slogan is, ‘We dig your dirt,’” stated Steve Ristow, president of Schneider Excavating, Lannon, Wis. “It pretty much captures what we do.”

Not quite. Schneider Excavating has established itself as being more than just the average dirt pusher. No question that the slogan is snappier than saying, “We specialize in site development, building excavations, road building, subdivision grading, solid waste land fill and licensed hazardous waste hauling.”

The company considers itself a medium-size contractor “that gets to work on quite a few big projects.” The company owns approximately 80 pieces of equipment that include excavators, dozers, scrapers, off-road trucks, compactors, and motorgraders.

“We’ve actually established ourselves as being a precision fine-grading contractor,” Ristow said, “which is how we received this sports field project in Wauwatosa.”

The project is the Charles Hart Park sports field replacement, which is part of a city and privately-funded overhaul and expansion of Wauwatosa’s only city-owned park.

The old multi-purpose turf field was used for the city’s high school football games, soccer matches, baseball games and summer recreation department activities, as well as occasional music concerts. The field is encircled by a running track and every 4th of July the stands are filled for the city’s firework display. To say the field gets a workout,

would be an understatement.

“We’re one of a number of contractors working in the 53acre park this summer,” said Ristow.

Schneider Excavating is a subcontractor of Milwaukeebased Triad Construction.

The approximately two-acre, 90,575-sq.-ft. field and skirting was already cut out for Schneider, but required that the subgrade be graded prior to placing the free draining stone.

The company used a John Deere 650H crawler dozer equipped with an Agtek grade control and Topcon HiperLite GPS all-in-one antenna/receiver indicate system to prepare the field. A 3/4-limestone TB leveling course was installed to stabilize the subgrade. A water-permeable, polyethylene fabric membrane was laid down after the subgrade was completed.

“Since the field is a free-draining design, we placed drain tiles on the membrane,” Ristow said. “The water drains to the perimeter of the field.”

Eight in. (20 cm) of free-draining, engineered fill was added next. The drainage fill is a man-made crushed limestone and sand.

As a prelude to the fine grading, the company ran a Caterpillar CS563 vibratory soil compactor after the fill was placed.

“The project requires extremely tight grade tolerances before the $400,000 artificial turf is laid,” said Ristow. “We need to achieve 1/4-inch tolerances within every 10 feet.”

Schneider Excavating’s Cat 140H motorgrader is equipped with Topcon mmGPS with laser enhancement.

“The machine operator has the 3D model we built right in the cab,” Ristow said. “The operator knows at all times where they are in completing the precision fine grading.”

The company had taken the paper and digital site plans that were provided and converted them to the 3D model required, which required three to four hours for a Schneider design technician to complete. Schneider also installed a Topcon HiperLite GPS receiver at Hart Park for a base station to support the motorgrader with the mmGPS system.

“The GPS machine control system allows us to complete the project quickly and accurately,” said Ristow. “We used our engineer, Fred Hartzheim, who also is a licensed professional engineer, to establish initial check points and to monitor the project for quality control.”

Schneider Excavating completed its part in the Wauwatosa Charles Hart Park sports field replacement project in four days.

“We achieved the precision 1/4-inch tolerances and a graded crown with a 1/2-percent pitch in the middle of the field.”

The artificial field turf representative inspected the results and provided his nod of approval, without hesitation.

Vermeer Sales & Service Receives Multiple Awards in Iowa At Vermeer Corporation’s dealer year-end meeting that was held in early December 2009 at Vermeer’s headquarters in Pella, Iowa, Vermeer Sales & Service was presented with multiple awards.

E TIP’s Filter PreventsFuel From Gelling inCold Weather

The Victor L. Phillips Co. 4100 Gardner Ave. Kansas City, MO 64120 816/241-9290 816/241-1738

E TIP has launched a new product to help prevent diesel and bio-diesel fuel gelling in cold weather, said Hugh Goulding, president of E TIP Inc. The universal filter preheater is a thin, flexible, silicone/fiberglass heating pad that wraps around the metal filter housing. The filter maintains full contact and evenly transmits heat through the metal of the filter housing, helping to avoid the risk of fuel gelling.

Additionally, the filter converts the metal filter housing into the heating element.

When it is time to change the filter element, the universal filter preheater easily releases for transfer to the new filter housing — avoiding fuel gelling and related problems.

Drawing 85 watts, the universal filter pre-

heater is available in several voltages: direct current 12 and 24 volts, and alternating current 120 and 240 volts and a dual grid model combining the option of powering with direct current or alternating current in the same universal filter preheater.

The filter measures 4 by 7 in. (10 by 17 cm) and is designed to fit a diameter of 2.5 to 4 in. (6.3 to 10 cm) [circumference of 8 to 12 in. (20 to 30.5 cm)].

About E TIP E TIP offers cable lock alarms, personal strobe lights and steering controls.

E TIP represents and markets safety, security and maintenance products.

Cost of Some Construction Materials Edging Upwards FORECAST from page 28 AED from page 28

industry employment will probably have to wait until 2011.”

Materials Costs The costs of many construction materials are edging upwards. The BLS said the producer price index (PPI) for finished goods “spurted 1.8 percent in November,” including a 7 percent jump in crude petroleum prices.

“Even aside from the oilprice leap, construction materials costs appear to have ended their slide, as shown by recent three-month trends,” the BLS added.

AGC’s Ken Simonson told CEG: “I think materials costs have probably bottomed out and at best will hold level in 2010, but there’s a risk that they will jump again. Steel has the greatest chance of showing a price increase.”

How about a turnaround?

We can’t point to a turnaround dynamic in play right now. If the housing market picks up, it would be a good thing. The House has just passed another stimulus bill, which they’re calling the Jobs Creation Bill. It has another $27.5 billion of highway and bridge money in it. We also have the stimulus bill, which was signed into law early in 2009. So the House has passed it, but it has some difficult prospects in the Senate, which will not be able to take it up until sometime next year, hopefully early. There’s a lot of pushback on it because it relies on remaining TARP money that’s coming from the paybacks and the unspent balances. There’s a pretty strong headwind against that in the Senate. We don’t know if the new bill has too much of a prospect or not. We’re doing everything we can as an organization [to make it

happen], along with the Association of Equipment Manufacturers [AEM]. We, and AEM leaders, went from Senate office to Senate office, and House office to House office, trying to beat the drums for the message that we’re taking to Washington, that this is a job loss catastrophe for the country — 550,000 jobs lost as of last September and, Lord knows, there could be 100,000 or 200,000 more since then by the middle of next year. There’s no way you will get a solid recovery in the overall economy with those kinds of numbers just from our industry.

So how do you view 2010 for equipment dealers?

There’s some talk of maybe the possibility of 10 percent uptick in 2010, most of which will be in the second half, but you’re going up 10 percent from a market which was down 40 percent in 2009. The uptick would be based on

residential construction and maybe some more of the 2009 stimulus money getting spent. Quite a bit of it hasn’t been obligated yet. That could possibly drive some more activity. And then if the Senate goes along with the House on Stimulus 2 that would essentially double what was put into the market by the first stimulus bill.

What sectors of equipment have been hardest-hit?

Earthmoving equipment is probably the worst. You talk to dealers and you typically hear new machine delivery rates down 50, 60 or 70 percent.

We very much appreciate your time.

It wasn’t very good news, was it? It’s real. It’s what’s out there. There’s no point in sugar coating it.

Wakeham Equipment Unveils 88LSL Trimmer to Market

Wakeham Equipment’s new 88-in. (223 cm) grade trimmer features replaceable carbide bullet teeth and a flip up cover for throwing material forward in low spots.

Wakeham Equipment LLC recently has branched into manufacturing skid steer loader attachments and machine forms and has unveiled its skid steer trimmer 88LSL. Wakeham Equipment’s new 88-in. (223 cm) grade trimmer features replaceable carbide bullet teeth and a flip up cover for throwing material forward in low spots.

The 88LSL trims through hard packed clay as well as a mixture of hard sand, clay and rock mix.

Accompanied by a Leica Power grade system, the 88LSL produces an even grade.

Additionally, a snap on/off system comes standard with a tri-sonic sensor that can read string-line, curb, ground or matching grade. This feature can be used with other equipment and its easy removal ensures overnight security, according to the manufacturer.

Ideal for concrete and landscapers, the 88LSL can trim topsoil to 2-in. (5 cm) for reseeding with the automatic control of slope and elevation sonic sensors.

The grade trimmer has a direct drive hydraulic motor with forward and reverse at the flip of a switch.

The attachment’s motor hub has been redesigned to be set in. This allows an operator to trim within 1-in. (2.5 cm) of a curb using the adjustable cutting edge and attachable spread auger.

Wakeham Equipment will be at World of Concrete Feb. 2 to 5, 2010, at booth C6896.

For more information, call 815/520-0352 or visit www.wakehamequipment.com.
