Here are the most clicked-on stories in 2023 and leading the way is an article that appeared in our Western Edition that garnered an astounding 180,533 pageviews. Largest Dam Removal in U.S. History Under Way Construction to start the removal process of the Klamath River dams has begun and all four dams are scheduled to be removed from the river by the end of 2024, according to the latest report from KDRV. Crews have begun constructing access roads to allow access for heavy equipment required for further construction activities. Existing bridges will need to be reinforced and new bridges will need to be constructed to enable construction equipment access. The Klamath River Renewal Corporation also is in the process of developing several sites to accommodate the workforce, installing job trailers and office space as well as lodging facilities for the construction crews. This is the beginning of a series of enabling construction projects that will take up the remainder of 2023 as crews prepare Klamath River Renewal Corporation photo for drawdown of the reservoirs in January The pre-removal includes demolishing 100,000 cu. yds. of concrete, 1.3 million cu. 2024 and the subsequent removal of the yds. of excavation, 70,000 cu. yds. of “drill and shoot” and 2,000 tons of steel demodams. lition.

Gordie Howe International Bridge Due to Open Fall 2025 Having delivered the busiest year of construction to date, the Gordie Howe International Bridge project team is able to confirm a new completion and opening timeline. Construction completion is planned for September 2025 with the first vehicles expected to travel across the bridge that fall. Originally, the $5.7 billion (CDN) project was scheduled for completion in November 2024 with opening anticipated by the end of that year. However, the project, like many others, experienced unprecedented disruptions due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The disruptions were even more prevalent for the Gordie Howe International Bridge project given the differing applicable restrictions in the United States and Canada, combined with the ramping up of construction activities in early 2020. Like most public-private partnerships (P3) contracts, the contract between Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) and Bridging North America (BNA) provides for the schedule and cost impacts of certain risks to be shared. As a result, WDBA and BNA have agreed to amend the contract to include the new September 2025 construction completion date, new measures to ensure this date is achieved, and an updated overall contract value of $6.4 billion (CDN). Further, this new timeline is achievable without compromising quality and most importantly, the health and safety of our workers. The great progress made in 2023 and the ability to mitigate and manage the challenges the team has faced is a testament to the dedication of the workers and collaboration between WDBA, BNA, the state of Michigan and all project delivery partners. Recognizing that an extended construction period impacts the project host communities, WDBA has budgeted for a one-year extension of the Gordie Howe International Bridge Community Benefits Plan. With $3 million (CDN) to be divided equally between Canada and the United States and expended over the 2025-2026 fiscal year, residents and business owners in Sandwich/west Windsor and Delray/southwest Detroit will see positive outcomes from further regional investments. Additional details on the approach to allocating this funding will be shared later in 2024. “After a three-year pandemic and considering the size and complexity of the Gordie Howe International Bridge project, our project team is pleased that the impact to the construction schedule is limited to only 10 months beyond the original contracted completion date and that we could agree on a reasonable adjustment to the contract value,” said Charl van Niekerk, CEO, Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority. “With safety as our top priority, we will continue to work together to deliver this much needed infrastructure to the thousands of eager travelers ready to cross North America’s longest cablestayed bridge.”

Construction completion on the Gordie Howe International Bridge is planned for September 2025 with the first vehicles expected to travel across the bridge that fall.
Quick Facts • Beginning in March 2020 and over the remainder of the pandemic, various governments, including the governments of Ontario and the state of Michigan, issued hundreds of emergency and executive orders that applied to the Gordie Howe International Bridge project resulting in schedule and cost relief that is contemplated in the Project Agreement between WDBA and BNA. • Over 2022 and 2023, the project team was able to make significant progress on bridge and road deck construction, stay cable installation and port of entry facilities which helped drive the overall construction schedule. • In 2024, the public can expect to see the bridge deck connect over the Detroit River and the last of the 216 stay cables installed, as well as the completion of the POE agency buildings and the concrete for the I-75 ramps. • Following construction completion, the project team will finalize operating processes and testing to fully prepare the facilities for traffic crossing the border starting in fall 2025.

USACE Awards Next Contract for ‘New Lock at the Soo’ U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District’s New Lock at the Soo project in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., awarded a $213.8 million contract Option 1B (Chamber Wall Monoliths) to Kokosing Alberici Traylor LLC (KAT) of Westerville, Ohio. Contract Option 1B includes construction of the lock wall monoliths, very large concrete wall portions that make up the sides of the chamber along the north and south side of the lock chamber. The chamber monoliths span between the upstream wide wall monoliths and downstream wide wall monoliths. “There are 21 chamber monoliths that make up the north wall and 21 chamber monoliths that make up the south wall,” said Jeremy Nichols, design engineer, Inland Navigation Design Center, New Lock at the Soo. “The chamber monoliths are approximately 44 feet wide and 70 feet tall. Each monolith will be constructed by placing mass concrete in roughly five-foot-high lifts, with a total of 14 lifts per monolith.” The New Lock at the Soo project is being built in 3 phases. Phase 1 (Upstream Channel Deepening) was completed in 2022, and Phase 2 (Upstream Approach Walls) is expected to be completed in summer 2024. The Phase 3 contract was awarded to KAT in July 2022 as a base contract at $1.068 billion. Awarding the base contract allowed the contractor to begin work in 2022 with the remaining work (contract options), to be awarded over the next three years. “The remaining options are required for a complete lock,” said Kevin McDaniels, deputy district engineer. “To date, Options 1A [Upstream Wide Wall Monoliths], 1C [New Power Plant Bridge Ramp], 2 [New Pump Well Completion] and 7 [Alligator’s Mouth Mooring Area] have been awarded, totaling $281.3 million,” said McDaniels. “The leadership team throughout the Corps of Engineers has made the New Lock at the

Soo project a national priority and we have continued to see strong support every step along the way.” Four contract options, totaling $320 million, await to be awarded. These options are Option 3 (Lock Operational), Option 4
(Downstream Work), Option 5 (Hands-Free Mooring) and Option 6 (Downstream Ship Arrestors). The Corps of Engineers aims to award these options over the next two years. Phase 3 construction began in late 2022, and is expected to last seven years, given

efficient funding and favorable weather. The New Lock at the Soo will be constructed in the footprint of the Sabin Lock and will be the same size as the Poe Lock (1,200 ft. long, 110 ft. wide and 32 ft. deep). As of Dec. 4, 2023, KAT has completed more than $240 million worth of work. Work to date includes upstream cofferdam construction — cells are set and fill is being placed; downstream cofferdam construction — cells are being set; abatement of hazardous materials; demolition of existing structures; partial construction of a new bridge to the hydropower plant; adding stability structures for the existing monoliths in preparation for dewatering and excavation; installing a grout curtain for upcoming dewatering and blasting/excavation for a new utility shaft. “Construction will continue over the winter season, to include hazardous waste abatement, concrete demolition, utility shaft excavation and electrical work,” said Mollie Mahoney, senior project manager, New Lock at the Soo. The Soo Locks allow vessels to transit the 21-ft. elevation change at the St. Marys Falls Canal. More than 88 percent of commodity tonnage through the Soo Locks is restricted by vessel size to the Poe Lock. The New Lock at the Soo project will construct a second Poe-sized lock. The Soo Locks are essential to U.S. manufacturing and national security, the New Lock at the Soo project will provide resiliency for this critical node in the Great Lakes Navigation System. A 2015 Department of Homeland Security study estimates a sixmonth Poe Lock closure would temporarily reduce the United States’ gross domestic product (GDP) by $1.1 trillion, resulting in the loss of 11 million jobs.

AGCMN Releases 2023-2024 Minnesota Industry Assessment Associated General Contractors of Minnesota released the 2023-2024 Minnesota Construction Industry Assessment results. This valuable tool provides a unique snapshot of the projected Minnesota construction market, construction business challenges and other influences that impact the architect, engineering and construction (AEC) economy. While there are countless survey tools being solicited across the industry, the AGC Industry Assessment covers the entire AEC spectrum and focuses exclusively on the construction discipline. “Overall, the outlook for 2024 construction services is slightly more positive than last year, with engineering services reflecting the greatest positive outlook projection,” said Tim Worke, CEO. “Construction demand is likely to remain strong into next year, yet headwinds generated by high inflation, tight skilled labor availability and increased labor costs
are the highest negative indicators impacting construction businesses and future market optimism.” Key findings of the assessment: • A tight labor supply continues to be a strong drag on the industry’s overall performance as the unrelenting demand for workers persists. The hiring outlook for 2024 mirrors 2023 as over 60 percent report plans to conduct “significant hiring” or “some hiring” in 2024 • When sourcing craft workers, word of mouth recruiting remains the top approach for both signatory and non-signatory contractors • Employers providing a positive workplace culture is cited as the top factor to attract and retain talent while promoting and offering remote working options is in decline among employers when compared to prior responses
• 58 percent of GCs report using at least one to five new disadvantaged firms in 2023 compared to 49 percent in 2022 To view the assessment, visit https://agcmn-c5.s3.us-east2.amazonaws.com/2217/0179/6577/2023_Industry_Assess ment.pdf.

Timberpro Helps Boosts Production for Northern Minnesota Company Falling timber in the middle of the winter is a race against the clock and Mother Nature. To meet production goals, you need equipment that is reliable and maximizes the short window of the season. That’s why Greg Tibbetts, owner of Tibbetts Trucking Inc., utilizes Timberpro forestry equipment. With a fleet consisting of a TN-735D feller buncher; TF-830D and TF-830C forwarders; and a TF-830D forwarder equipped with a H219x harvester head, Tibbetts’ crews can meet their lofty production goals. “We’re falling ahead of the processors and placing the trees bundles. This allows us to process at the bundles and let forwarders get a full load in two to three stops,” explained Tibbetts. “I’d say we gain about 50 percent production with this approach.” The Timberpro equipment delivers peace of mind for Tibbets as he trusts it to perform every day in some of the harshest conditions. Which is why Timberpro continues to earn its way into his fleet. “I like the way they are built, and I’ve had zero issues with them,” said Tibbetts. “They are impressive, and it makes me want to keep buying them.” Tibbetts’ relationship with Road Machinery & Supplies Co. (RMS) and

Tibbetts Trucking Inc. uses Timberpro equipment like this TF-830D forwarder equipped with a H219x harvester head to maximize its production season. “I like the way they are built, and I’ve had zero issues with them,” said Greg Tibbetts, owner. “They are impressive, and it makes me want to keep buying them.”
Joel Elden, territory manager, is another factor in the decision to keep using Timberpro. “Joel is always in contact with me to see if there is anything we need,” said Tibbetts. “He does a great job taking care of us.” When it comes to parts and service, Tibbetts notes the proximity of the
Virginia and Duluth branches to their work area as positives. Fortunately, Tibbetts said that he hasn’t had to put RMS’ response time to the test. “RMS is close by, and I know they will have parts and service available when I need it,” said Tibbetts. “The best part is, I haven’t had to call them. Timberpro speaks for itself.”

Air Burners Collaborates With Volvo Construction, Rolls-Royce Air Burners, a leading manufacturer of air curtain burner systems worldwide, collaborated with Rolls-Royce and Volvo Construction Equipment to develop and test the BioCharger — a portable machine that turns biomass waste into energy. The BioCharger is the first machine of its kind, combining three innovative steps to provide off-grid power from vegetative waste management. First, it eliminates vegetative waste using air curtain technology to minimize the harmful particulate matter entering the atmosphere. Then, it converts the residual heat energy into electric energy and stores it in a connected battery storage module. With the accompanying charging mechanism, the BioCharger allows for off-grid electric vehicle and machinery charging. “While electric machinery becomes increasingly popular in the fight against climate change, when it comes to forest management, we must have practical solutions for charging electric machinery away from traditional power

The BioCharger is the first machine of its kind, combining three innovative steps to provide off-grid power from vegetative waste management.
sources,” said Brian O’Connor, president of Air Burners. “The Air Burners’ BioCharger provides that solution and manages wood waste, all done in an economical and environmentally conscious way.” Vegetative waste is a significant and growing problem — seventy million tons of wood waste are collected annually in the United States, but only 48 percent of that waste is recycled, leaving the rest to open burns or decomposition,
which releases particulate matter and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The BioCharger permanently eliminates up to 20 tons of vegetative waste per hour without emitting greenhouse emissions like methane and black carbon — the second biggest contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide. Air Burners consulted with Rolls-Royce in developing the battery storage module within the BioCharger, a 450-kWh charging
station that can recharge multiple battery-electric machines and tools, from chainsaws to excavators. The BioCharger creates and stores enough energy daily to recharge three to six battery-powered machines. The BioCharger retains enough energy to start itself and continue the cycle the next day, according to the company. “The BioCharger is a unique application for our mtu EnergyPack battery energy storage system that I think shows just how versatile energy storage can be,” said Kevin McKinney, sales director of Rolls-Royce Solutions America. “The BioCharger’s ability to reduce emissions and generate energy through responsible handling of vegetative waste perfectly aligns with our targets to support our customers with solutions for the transition to clean power generation.” Volvo Construction Equipment teamed with Air Burners to prove out the charging capabilities of the BioCharger with its new 23-ton crawler excavator, the EC230 Electric. The EC230 Electric is
currently in pilot testing across North America ahead of its commercial launch next year. “This collaboration with Air Burners for the BioCharger allows us to demonstrate one of the more non-conventional sources to fastcharge our equipment in off-grid locations,” said Ray Gallant, vice president of sustainability and productivity services, Volvo CE. Unlike biomass power plants, the BioCharger is a fully portable machine that can be relocated to a new site and be operational in approximately 6 hours. The machine accepts whole logs, root balls, pallets, crates and any other clean wood or vegetative waste without sorting, crushing or grinding. Air curtain burners also do not require any secondary fuel sources like natural gas, reducing costs and easing installation. Air Burners, Rolls-Royce and Volvo Construction Equipment will host a demonstration event for the BioCharger in early 2024. For more information, visit https://airburners.com/biocharger-launchevent/.

Rebuild Illinois: 5,522 Miles, 553 Bridges, 814 Improvements Under the leadership of Gov. JB Pritzker and Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman, the Illinois Department of Transportation continued to modernize and revitalize transportation and mobility across the state in 2023. Fueled by Pritzker’s historic, bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital program, the investments in highways, transit, railroads, airports, waterways and active transportation options touched every corner and community in the state, improving quality of life, safety and reliability while creating jobs and long-term economic opportunity. Passed in 2019, Rebuild Illinois is investing $45 billion into the state’s aging transportation system over a six-year span, creating jobs and promoting economic growth. As of Sept. 30, just on the highway system alone, Rebuild Illinois has made $9.6 billion in improvements statewide on 5,522 mi., 553 bridges and 814 additional safety improvements, ranging from routine maintenance projects and minor resurfacings to extensive interstate and bridge reconstructions. “Here in Illinois, we’re on a mission to modernize our infrastructure and make transportation more reliable for commuters, families and businesses,” said Pritzker. "2023 was another historic year for our Rebuild Illinois capital program, with record investments towards modernizing and maintaining all modes of transportation. Thanks to the hard work of IDOT, local governments and union laborers, we’re making transportation safer and more reliable across our state.” In July, Pritzker and IDOT released the largest multi-year program to repair and modernize infrastructure in state history: $41 billion over six years, showcasing the reach and impact of Rebuild Illinois. Covering fiscal years 2024 to 2029, the multi-year program is the first time in more than a decade IDOT released a comprehensive approach to invest in all modes of transportation: roads and bridges, aviation, transit, freight and passenger rail, waterways, as well as bike and pedestrian accommodations. “The past year at IDOT was another for the history books under Gov. Pritzker,” said Osman. “We are proud to deliver these improve-
ments for the public and appreciate your continued patience and support as we Rebuild Illinois.” Among the 2023 highlights: Highways, Bridges In Chicago, work wrapped up on the first year of the three-year, $150 million Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94) rehabilitation project, with construction taking place in the inbound lanes. Improvements include fixing 36 bridges and the reversible lanes system, replacement of overhead sign structures as well as the installation of modern LED lights. Work resumes in the spring. Several projects were completed or advanced in Cook and the collar counties. In Lake Forest, an $18.3 million pump station and other safety upgrades at Deerpath Road and Skokie Highway (U.S. 41) addressed longtime flooding issues. In the south suburbs, a $98.9 million project is under way to rebuild Wood Street/Ashland Avenue in Harvey, Dixmoor and Riverdale. In November, an $82.1 million investment wrapped up to improve nearly 20 mi. of I-57 on Chicago’s South Side and south suburbs. Work is progressing on the $1.3 billion reconstruction of I-80 in Will County. Completed in 2023 were the conversion of the Houbolt Road interchange into a divergingdiamond design; replacement of bridges at Shepley Road and Wheeler Avenue; as well as the installation of temporary pavement on I-80’s westbound lanes between Ridge and River roads to accommodate traffic in the work zone during the upcoming construction seasons. Replacement of Briggs Street and River Road bridges also are under way. A cornerstone of Rebuild Illinois, the overall I-80 project will redesign and rebuild 16 mi. from Ridge Road in Minooka to U.S. 30 in Joliet and New Lenox while adding capacity to improve safety and reduce congestion. More than 30 bridges will be rehabilitated or replaced, including those over the Des Plaines River. In Rockford, a $247.6 million multiyear project to improve I-39 from U.S. 20 to Harrison Avenue began in July with the reconstruc-

tion of the I-39 and U.S. 20 interchange. Work completed this year included grading for the new interchange ramps and bridges and construction of new Linden and Perryville Road bridges. The interchange will be completed by the end of 2024, with the entire project expected to wrap up in 2027. The new eastbound $167 million McClugage Bridge between Peoria and East Peoria continues to progress with the decking of the new span as well as assembly and installation of the 650-ft. steel arch. The bridge is expected to open to traffic in fall 2024. Also in the Peoria area, the Bob Michel Bridge and the Lacon Bridge were rehabbed during long closures. The $24.6 million Bob Michel Bridge project installed a new deck and reconfigured its nar-
row sidewalks into a 14-ft.-wide multiuse path protected from Illinois 40 traffic by a concrete barrier. In Lacon, an $11.3 million rehabilitation project for the Illinois 17 bridge provided concrete deck overlays, pier protection repairs, structural steel repairs, painting and drainage improvements. In Champaign, a multiyear project to reconstruct the I-57/74 interchange entered a new phase with the installation of girders for two flyover ramps. Modernizing an interchange built more than 50 years ago to improve safety and mobility in the area, the $251.8 million project is anticipated to be substantially complete in late 2025, with some work remaining in 2026. Farther south, work is finishing on the first of a four-year project to reconstruct Fayette Avenue in
Effingham. The $27.1 million project will expand the road, which carries Illinois 33 and U.S. 40, from four to five lanes, with accommodations for those who walk, bike and roll on the town’s main thoroughfare. This project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The I-24 corridor received several improvements in 2023. Patching and resurfacing were completed on 22 mi., a $41.4 million total investment. A $7.2 million bridge replacement also is under way at milepost 27.5. A $2.1 million resurfacing was completed on the bridge crossing the Ohio River. In southern Illinois, the ongoing effort to make I-57 six lanes and strengthen a key link in the National Highway Freight Network continued in 2023. Several bridges over the Mississippi River are in the process of being replaced or repaired. In Chester, a combined $307.1 million investment by Illinois and Missouri will replace the aging crossing that carries Illinois 150 and Missouri 51 with the Don Welge Memorial Bridge. Through Rebuild Illinois, IDOT is investing approximately $143.2 million into the bridge and Illinois approach. The new bridge is expected to open in late 2026. Construction continues on the replacement of the I-270 Chain of Rocks Bridge in the Metro East. The $496.2 million joint IllinoisMissouri project will replace the existing 57-year-old bridge with two wider structures to accommodate the eventual expansion of I270 to three lanes in each direction. The bridge is expected to be complete at the end of 2026. In the Quad Cities, work wrapped up on a three-year $49.7 million joint project with Iowa to replace the deck of the Sgt. John F. Baker Jr. Bridge carrying I-280 in Rock Island. The project was paired with a $16 million improvement that patched and resurfaced I280 from the bridge to east of the Milan Beltway. State of Rail Illinois ushered in high-speed rail in 2023 with the completion of track upgrades that ultimately increased speeds from 79 mph to see ILLINOIS page 88

Wirtgen W 220 XFi Offers Broader Spectrum of Performance
The cold milling machine W 220 XFi from Wirtgen offers high productivity in all use cases and low carbon intensity.
Equipped with an efficient John Deere engine and multiple features for the active protection of the environment, the Wirtgen W 220 XFi cold milling machine combines sustainability and productivity. In all uses, from surface layer rehabilitation to complete asphalt removal, the carbon intensity is low and the milling performance as high as usual. Plus, in automatic mode, Mill Assist selects the operating strategy with the most favorable balance between milling performance and operating costs. The Multiple Cutting System for milling widths between 7 ft. 3 in. to 12 ft. 6 in. makes it easy to quickly switch between milling drums and units. The machines are available around the world in countries that follow the EU Stage
5 / U.S. Tier IV Final emissions standards. Engine Technology From John Deere, Combined With 2-Speed Powershift Transmission This large milling machine from the “Xtended F-Series” with a standard working width of 7 ft. 3 in. comes equipped with the latest and currently most environmentally friendly engine technology. The 18 L (1,100 cu in) John Deere JD18L engine provides up its maximum power of 840 hp even at only 1,500 rpm. It has been specially designed for cold milling, with high torque under all load conditions. Due to the dual shift transmission, the high torque can be used at low rpm for optimal milling performance.
Even at low engine speeds, high milling drum rotation speeds are possible. The engine meets emissions standards without requiring DEF (diesel exhaust fluid / AdBlue). Increased Milling Efficiency With Mill Assist The machine control system Mill Assist increases milling performance while simultaneously reducing diesel and water consumption and pick wear. The system controls engine speed automatically according to the needs of the operator. A wide range of uses are possible, due to the broad range of usable speeds in combination with the dual shift powershift transmission. At lower speeds, fuel consumption, noise emission and pick wear
can be reduced significantly. The upper speed range makes optimum milling patterns possible at higher area performance rates. The operator also can select one of three operating strategies: “ECO,” “performance-optimized,” or “milling pattern quality.” This makes it possible, for example, to pre-define the required milling pattern quality incrementally from coarse to very fine at the press of a button. Digital Assistance Systems Improve Sustainability The machine control system Mill Assist and the Wirtgen Group Performance Tracker Milling (WPT Milling) assist operating personnel and increase milling efficiency. These systems have already delivered clear proof of
their potential in the other F-series cold milling machines. With the W 220 XFi, these systems have been further developed to display CO₂ emissions. Both the current emissions and the carbon intensity can be easily viewed on the control screen in relation to milling mass. The automaticallygenerated WPT report also can include the CO₂ emissions of the entire project in addition to other construction-relevant data — an expansion of the data foundation used in jobsite analysis and documentation. Different construction projects can now be compared in terms of carbon emissions, leading to new conclusions about how to optimize the next job. For more information, visit www.wirtgen-group.com.

Volvo Construction Equipment Reaches Agreement to Divest ABG Paver Business Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) and the Ammann Group have reached an agreement whereby Ammann will acquire Volvo CE’s global ABG paver business. As a result of the planned transaction, the Volvo Group’s operating income will be negatively impacted by approximately SEK 650 M in the fourth quarter of 2023. The divestment includes the ABG paver production and technology center in Hameln, Germany, and will ensure the availability of the range and full support through the Ammann Group distribution channels and selected Volvo CE dealers. Volvo CE and the Ammann Group see this as the best way to maintain and develop the long established ABG heritage in the paver business for relevant customers, dealers, suppliers and employees. As a consequence of the divestment, production of Volvo CE compaction equipment in Hameln will be phased out.

Rise of Renewable Diesel: What It Has to Offer Construction Industry To fully understand the potential of renewable diesel and its role in what’s expected to be a greener, more sustainable future for the construction industry, it’s important to understand what’s expected of the fuel in both the near term and the long term. In November of 2022, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved amendments to its off-road regulation aimed at further reducing emissions from the offroad sector. In amending the In-Use Off-Road DieselFueled Fleets Regulation (Off-Road Regulation), CARB required fleets to phase-out use of the oldest and highest polluting off-road diesel vehicles in California; prohibit the addition of high-emitting vehicles to a fleet; and require the use of R99 or R100 renewable diesel in offroad diesel vehicles, effective as of Oct. 1, 2023 (with requirements beginning as early as Jan. 1, 2024). Finally, as part of its announcement of the regulation, CARB said the program was expected to yield more than $5 billion in health benefits between 2024 and 2038. “Regulations like this one are here now,” said David Bolderoff, fleet manager of the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, who detailed his thoughts on renewable diesel during an education session at ConExpoCon/AGG 2023. “They vary state by state, but this one in particular is a game-changer.” With regulations like the amended CARB Off-Road Regulation starting to come into play, consumption of renewable diesel is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. But what is “renewable” diesel, exactly? It turns out it has a very similar chemical and structural composition to petroleum diesel, though it’s often comprised of fats and oils (animal waste fats, wasted fish products, used cooking oil, vegetable oil residues, tall oil pitch, crude palm oil, rapeseed oil and waste grease). However, according to Bolderoff, what really sets renewable diesel apart from counterparts such as petroleum diesel and biodiesel is its higher energy density, which is somewhere in the range of 5 percent. “That’s important, because the more energy you have in fuel, the less you need to produce the same amount of power,” said Bolderoff. “One of the real downsides with biodiesel is it has less energy density. And though it is rather difficult to beat the properties of petroleum diesel, renewable diesel is slightly better, and it burns cleaner.” Renewable diesel also: • Is a paraffinic fuel (with a superior cetane number of >65, which indicates its combustion quality) • Offers a desirable cloud point • Provides efficient combustion • Increases engine life • Reduces maintenance costs • Provides a smaller environmental footprint (65-90 percent carbon reduction) • Provides superior cold weather performance • Offers good storage properties • Is essentially odorless
Currently, the vast majority of all renewable diesel consumption occurs in California. And, as of just two years ago, Oregon was the only other state where renewable diesel was consumed. That, however, is about to change. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, renewable diesel production is expected to more than double during the next two years to meet growing demand and regulatory activity. “What we’re seeing in terms of the trend moving forward is big oil getting behind renewable diesel,” noted Bolderoff. “And what we’re seeing is they are spending a lot of time converting their refineries. So, in the next few years, we could really see significantly more production. “ However, the most notable characteristic of renewable diesel expected to impact its adoption is that it’s a true “drop-in” fuel that can be easily blended with petroleum diesel or biodiesel. Also, and perhaps more importantly, it meets the same ASTM D975 certification standard that ultra-low sulfur diesel does as well. “We’re seen a ton of state and federal infrastructure projects requiring the use of alternative fuels, and renewable diesel is an easy-to-use drop-in,” said Bolderoff. “So, construction professionals don’t need to buy new equipment. And while it’s not necessarily recommended to mix it on a regular basis, if you have a half a tank of fossilbased diesel fuel, you can drop this fuel in and you’re not really going to have any negative or detrimental effects.” Because widespread adoption of renewable diesel has yet to take place, there isn’t a ton of consistent guidance regarding how it should be used. According to Bolderoff, equipment service and operations manuals often feature a couple of pages on biodiesel, but nothing specifically on renewable fuel. More recently, he noted, OEMs have issued statements saying that if a fuel meets the ASTM D975 standard, using it won’t void the manufacturer’s warranty and it won’t hurt the engine. “So, if you have a good understanding of its fuel and what it offers from an efficiency standpoint and an emissions reduction standpoint — as it offers somewhere in the range of a 65-90 percent carbon reduction — you can actually use that in your bid process,” said Bolderoff. “Because what if bids are based on total carbon footprint, rather than just the lowest bid?” he continued. “In California, with what we’ve actually seen with things like the Renewable Identification Number [RIN] and LowCarbon Fuel Standards [LCFS] credits, we’ve found that [using renewable diesel] actually saved us money, or at least it was price comparable.” Demand for renewable diesel is expected to rise in the not-too-distant future, in no small part to increased regulation of the off-road industry. And, as the construction industry begins to evaluate how to comply with various regulations, they’ll need to possess a strong understanding of the options available to them — while still considering implications related to productivity, safety and the ability to service and maintain vehicles and equipment.

Heavy-Duty Snow Attachments Maximize Toro Dingo Capabilities This Winter
The plow attachments are compatible with Dingo 320-D, 323, TX 427, TX 525 and TX 1000 models.
Operators can plow through the toughest, wettest snow this season with the heavy-duty, snow-clearing attachments designed for the powerful Toro Dingo lineup. These attachments are built to be as versatile as the manufacturer’s popular compact utility loaders. “We are continuously looking for new ways to maximize the versatility of our Dingo line and these attachments allow operators to utilize their machine all year round,” said Mark Adamek, marketing manager at Toro. “Not only do these versatile attachments allow Dingo customers to tackle snow removal projects, they add to the overall value of their investment.” The Dingo snow thrower has the power for exceptional performance in wet snow conditions, as well as a gentle touch for lighter conditions. Its twostage design provides power to break
up chunks of hardened snow and throw it out of the path, leaving a clean surface. The chute can be easily adjusted from the operator’s position and due to its electrical articulation the driver won’t need to worry about hand cranking it into position. The snow thrower features a directdrive design for added torque and power. The worm gear drive and hydraulic relief systems can take a pounding that would idle lesser machines. This attachment’s maximum hydraulic pressure is 15.5 gpm. When it comes to maintenance, there are no belts to loosen or adjust over time, saving operators time and money. As with all Dingo attachments, the controls are intuitive and allow the operator to stay focused on the work. The snow thrower is designed for use with Dingo TX 427, TX 525, TX 700, TX 1000 and TX 1300 models.
The snow thrower is designed for use with Dingo TX 427, TX 525, TX 700, TX 1000 and TX 1300 models.
To tackle snow removal in tighter spaces, Toro and BOSS, a leader in snow and ice management solutions, have teamed up to create two snowplow blade attachments for the Dingo. The 4-ft. and 5-ft. BOSS straight-blade plow attachments are practical for quickly clearing walkways and sidewalks. Featuring polyethylene blades, these attachments strike the ideal balance between lightweight and impressive durability. Both options are built with a full-blade trip design to minimize the impact of hitting an obstacle on the operator and the Dingo machine. These attachments are fully hydraulic to deliver maximum efficiency with no winches, cables or pulleys. Additionally, operators won’t need to jump out and make manual adjustments on the blades when the weather is bad due to the plow attachments which are compatible with Dingo 320D, 323, TX 427, TX 525 and TX 1000 models, the manufacturer said. To help operators feel more secure and protected in wintry conditions, the Snow Canopy easily attaches to Dingo TX 1000 models. It shields operators from wind and snow so they can comfortably concentrate on the task at hand. The canopy is designed with a wide front windshield as well as two large side panel windows to provide excellent visibility no matter the conditions. The snow thrower, TX 1000 snow canopy and BOSS plow attachments are available now. For more information, visit www.toro.com.

Gov. Walz Announces $17.4M for Transportation Projects Gov. Tim Walz and the Minnesota Department of Transportation announced on Jan. 3 $17.4 million for eight construction projects in the Twin Cities Metro and Greater Minnesota to improve transportation infrastructure that supports economic growth. The projects are estimated to support more than 2,000 jobs. “Investing in our transportation system helps strengthen communities, create jobs and promote economic growth,” said Walz. “These projects will support a broad range of opportunities for business growth, ranging from business incubators to small businesses to meat processing plants, while improving the safety and efficiency of our transportation system.” The funding comes from the state’s competitive Transportation Economic Development (TED) and Transportation Economic Development Infrastructure (TEDI) programs. The programs target transportation infrastructure projects that create economic development opportunities and jobs through a collaboration between MnDOT, the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), and local government and private sector partners. “This round of Transportation Economic Development funding leverages local public and private funding to complete road projects that help create safe, vibrant communities, connect local businesses to their customers and supply chains, and connect people to jobs,” said MnDOT Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger. “The projects also improve local and regional safety and demonstrate how a strong multi-modal transportation system supports healthy com-

munities.” “Infrastructure investments help businesses grow and make local communities attractive to companies looking to relocate or expand,” said DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek. “This partnership between DEED, MnDOT and local jurisdictions around the state illustrates our all-in effort to sustain Minnesota’s economic success.” The projects selected are: City of Waconia (TED: $5 million) — Assist with completion of the Highway 5 Phase 2 Reconstruction Project. The project will upgrade 1.4 mi. of two-lane road to a four-lane divided road with multiple intersections through the eastern end of the city limits, close a .8-mi. gap in the regional trail system, improve mobility and safety, and connect residents to more employment centers, including the nearby Ridgeview Medical Campus. Companies along the corridor may add 40 new jobs by 2028. Dakota County (TED: $2.4 million) — Improve the existing Highway 52/County Road 42 interchange in Rosemount, including adding new traffic signals and improving turn lane capacity from Highway 52 onto County Road 42. The project will improve safety in an area seeing increased truck traf-
fic serving local companies. Businesses along the corridor may add 1,340 new jobs by 2028. City of Brooklyn Center (TEDI: $500,000) — Reconstruct and replace streets and utilities on Opportunity Site to be redeveloped to accommodate a business incubator; a conference center; and mixed income housing. The site is targeted for businesses owned by women, immigrants and Black, Indigenous and People of Color. It is estimated that the project will create 89 jobs and increase the market value of the site by $165 million. City of Hastings (TED: $2.73 million) — Reconstruct Highway 61 through Hastings. The project includes a new road system from 21st Street to 25th Street that will reduce traffic on local neighborhood roads; provide a local road system for industry and commercial access; and improve trail system access that safely connects bike and pedestrian traffic to businesses in the area. The project may help create as many as 75 new jobs by 2028. City of Norwood Young America (TEDI: $900,000) — Construct streets and utilities to expand the Tacoma West Industrial Park. The 60-acre expansion will
allow for approximately 14 new lots. The city has two committed businesses to locate in the park. The project, when fully built out, would increase the value of the land by $27 million and create or retain 260 jobs. Carver County (TED: $3.2 million; TEDI: $500,000) — Construct a new roundabout to improve safety and mobility at the Highway 5/County Road 11 intersection in Victoria. It is anticipated that 45 to100 new jobs will be created within the next five years. Mahnomen County (TED: $125,000) — Install new right-turn lane from Highway 59 into the new Benson and Turner Foods plant bringing economic development to an underserved area within the White Earth tribal community. The turning lane is necessary to safely accommodate semi-trailer trucks and other vehicles turning from a high-traffic road into the business. Benson and Turner Foods is providing matching funds for this project. Aitkin County (TED: $2.1 million) — Construct a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 65/Highway 210/County Road 8 in McGregor to improve safety and access to businesses and industries near the intersection, including numerous retail and hospitality, manufacturing, mining and trucking businesses. The project could create up to 130 jobs by 2028. An additional TED funding solicitation will open in summer 2024, with $4.4 million in TED funds available for projects exclusively in Greater Minnesota.

USPS Spectacular Bridges Stamps Highlight Construction By Ruksana Hussain CEG CORRESPONDENT
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has shown a spotlight on the architectural design and engineering feats of some of the spectacular bridges that have been connecting people and places across the country for years with the release of four new Presorted First-Class Mail stamps. Ethel Kessler, an art director of USPS, used existing photographs to design these stamps, which include the multispan steel through arch Arrigoni Bridge connecting the Connecticut municipalities of Middletown and Portland; the S-curved cable-stayed Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge between Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha, Neb.; the steel truss Skydance Bridge topped by a public sculpture in Oklahoma City; and the basket-handle twin arch Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge connecting Bettendorf, Iowa, and Moline, Ill. The bridges were completed between 1938 and 2022 and chosen for being important landmarks in their communities. “We’re always looking for imaging or sets of stamps that can work. My first job was for an architectural firm and so I am not just sensitive to but enamoured with construction architecture and grand structures,” said Kessler. “Nobody gave me the assignment of doing bridges, it’s been something that I’ve had in my ‘way back burner folder’ for a long time and then it seemed like there was a need for this calibre of stamp.” Kessler, who has worked at the USPS for more than 25 years, presented 10 different images from a range of places in the country, each bridge offering something unique. Four were finalized. Presorted First-Class Mail stamps are used for bulk business mailers
and must be used with a permit. They’re only sold in self-adhesive rolls of 3,000 and 10,000. Arrigoni Bridge The Arrigoni Bridge connecting Middletown and Portland, Conn., (photographed by Joe Gowac) also is known as the Portland Bridge. The 1,200-ft.-long steel through arch bridge carries Routes 66 and 17 across the Connecticut River. It features two 600-ft. steel arches which have the longest span length of any bridge in that state. At $3.5 million, it was the most expensive bridge in the state when it opened in 1938. The bridge underwent safety and pedestrian improvements from 2020 to 2022, which involved new sidewalks; improvements to bridge approaches on both sides; replacing of the bridge deck and bearings; painting; steel and concrete repairs; and other structural upgrades to increase the bridge’s lifespan. Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge (photographed by Kyle Henderson) is a 3,000-ft.long, S-curved bridge — a $22 million project which opened late in 2008. It is one of the longest pedestrian bridges ever to be built, allowing travel over the Missouri River. Part of former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey’s “Back-tothe-River” efforts, it connects the Port of Omaha’s Miller Landing to One Renaissance Center in Council Bluffs. The cable-stayed bridge looks like giant sails, standing at 52 ft. above the river and due to the 200-ft.-high single-tower pylons on either side. Dramatic lighting only adds to the visual appeal. The bridge deck has an unobstructed width of 15-ft. over the entire length of the bridge.
Skydance Bridge The Skydance Bridge in Oklahoma City (photographed by Christina Woods) is inspired by Oklahoma’s state bird, the scissor-tailed flycatcher, and soars over Interstate 40. This is a 380-ft.-long pedestrian bridge with a 197-ft.-tall sculpture. The bridge opened in 2012, connects upper and lower Scissortail Park, and cost $5.8 million. It was named as one of the nation’s top 50 public arts projects by The Oklahoman at that time. The design was the winning entry in a national competition hosted by Oklahoma City. It has a steel hybrid structure with a vertically cantilevered tricord truss and simple span truss bridge as well as durable and recycled construction materials. “It is an honor for Oklahoma City, and Skydance Bridge, to be represented on this historic U.S. postage stamp commemorating this iconic landmark,” said Shannon Cox, Public Works Public Information Officer. Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge The $1 billion basket-handle twin arch Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge connecting Bettendorf, Iowa, and Moline, Ill., (photographed by Miller + Miller Architectural Photography) began construction in 2017 and opened to traffic in 2021. The gateway to the Quad Cities region on the I-74 corridor spans 800 ft., 6 mi. long and provides four lanes in each direction to address growing traffic concerns in the area. The final bridge design was completed by leading bridge engineering firm Modjeski and Masters. The westbound span was announced a winner in the major span category at the 2022 Prize Bridge Awards by The American Institute of Steel Construction and
the National Steel Bridge Alliance. Kessler found the images she worked with and works on Adobe Creative Suite for design. She has, in fact, maintained a folder titled Bridges with samples in it for at least 15 years now. “One of the first stamps that I worked on was for Frederick Law Olmstead who is the father of landscape architecture and designed Central Park. I had worked for an architectural firm and so I had the sensitivity to that subject and before I started doing stamps, I had a design firm that did work for a lot of architecture construction and landscape architecture firms so it’s right up my alley.” Four art directors meet monthly with the staff of the stamp staff division (in addition to others involved in visual research, text writing, photo assistance, etc.) presenting the different projects they’re working on. The decision on the number of designs to be released happens then. Suggestions from the public are considered but they are advised to do so at least three years out because it takes quite a while to get through legal clearance for many things especially stamps featuring people but sometimes stamps featuring previously used art. A significant legal process follows in order to get images and rights to use those images. The Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC), appointed by the Postmaster General, approves any ideas coming in from the public or the art directors. They determine subjects based on specific stamp selection criteria. Names of current members of the advisory committee as well as detailed information on the process is available on the USPS website.

CapturingCarbon
Modern Hydrogen’s Practical Approach to Decarbonization
By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT
Modern Hydrogen, a start-up specializing in decarbonizing natural gas at the meter in order to deliver clean fuel for sectors traditionally difficult to decarbonize, set out to prove its hypothesis: stripping solid carbon from natural gas before combustion is a more practical approach to decarbonizing than managing gaseous CO2 — and can reduce the amount of harmful CO2. Previous methods of reducing CO2 after combustion have proven complicated and expensive, according to Mothusi Pahl, Modern Hydrogen’s vice president of business development and government affairs. This new method substantially reduces costs as well as the embodied CO2 of asphalt, which contributes to the decarbonization of the natural gas sector, a known CO2 emitter. “Capturing carbon before combusting natural gas — not after — could make decarbonization easier,” Pahl said. “Nobody else has figured out how to decarbonize at the point of use.” In the process of developing a way to deliver “energy with a CO2 footprint that looks like renewables,” they discovered a way to reduce the environmental impact of paving roads with asphalt —one that sequesters carbon for centuries. It also happens to enhance the quality of asphalt. Extracting solid carbon from natural gas produces two products: clean hydrogen fuel and solid carbon, which can be used in asphalt to improve its strength and durability at a lower cost per lane mile because, according to Pahl, the solid carbon acts as a “binder strengthener” that reduces the amount of binder needed in hot mix asphalt. Road to Economic Sustainability Through a series of strategic partnerships, predominantly in Texas and the Pacific Northwest, Modern Hydrogen has been putting this solid carbon product to the test. Although there are currently more projects on the ground in the Pacific Northwest (including one in Alberta), Pahl said the first use of carbon-sequestered asphalt on public roads was implemented in San Antonio through a collaboration with Austin-based Road Recyclers and Bexar County Department of Public Works. “Texas understands the requirements for hot mix,” Pahl said. There will be different mixes for different temperature bans. The “magical equation,” Pahl said, is a mix that is strong when the weather is hot and flexible when it’s cold. In addition to temperature, there are local oper-

ating requirements and traffic requirements that impact the design spec. For example, residential streets vs. county highways will vary. He said the company is working with its partners to optimize mix designs. Bexar County Department of Public Works Director Tony Vasquez told the San Antonio Business Journal, “If you have a product that’s eco-friendly but doesn’t work, you can’t use it or you shouldn’t be using it. But one of the benefits of adding sequestered carbon to the mix is it makes it stronger, so that’s what we’re going to be looking at.” While Modern Hydrogen has only been field-testing carbon-sequestered asphalt for approximately 18 months, it has done extensive testing in the lab, where it has simulated accelerated wear, thermal cycling, oxidation and weathering. Through both testing and practical application, Pahl said, they have found “no impact on the expected useful life of any asphalt that’s been deployed.” Nevertheless, development will continue in an effort to “improve performance at higher temperatures without reducing performance at lower temperatures,” Pahl said. It’s an important focus, especially given the challenges of climate change and the potential for some areas to see temperature increases. Another of its “aggressive objectives” is see CO2 page 67

to reduce the cost per lane mile. While this new green asphalt technology substantially reduces the embodied CO2 in asphalt, Pahl said cost is an important aspect of the project. Fortunately, its multi-patented process of producing carbon-sequestered asphalt reduces costs at the same time it decreases CO2 emissions from natural gas. “There’s pressure to reduce embodied CO2 in asphalt,” Pahl said. Although he believes that reaching zero CO2-level asphalt is a “Hail Mary,” he asks, “What can we do to make roads cheaper and better and lower the CO2 equation? How can we do this quickly and economically — because if we can’t afford to decarbonize, we won’t do it. We have to make it a preferred economic pathway.” He’s convinced that this “cost-efficient decarbonization technique, utilizing existing infrastructure, accelerates the shift towards a zero-carbon future.” Furthermore, he said that these pilot projects are demonstrating the advantages of sequestered carbon asphalt as part of a sustainable, eco-friendly infrastructure that supports domestic energy security and more economical road construction. Targets “We’re always looking at infrastructure,” Pahl said, but, initially, Modern Hydrogen was unsure where its idea would best fit: concrete, structural fill, next-generation drywall? “We looked at materials that need

high-strength fill at a competitive price. Ultimately, they realized that the asphalt industry is ‘moving at light speed, comparatively,’ so they began
Pahl said the project in Texas “transcends local boundaries, offering a blueprint for cities across Texas and beyond in environmental sustainability.”

targeting asphalt companies and county highway departments in a two-prong approach.” Pahl said the project in Texas “transcends local boundaries, offering a blueprint for cities across Texas and beyond in environmental sustainability.” He goes so far as to describe it as a “call to action for government entities at all levels” to urge the adoption of clean energy and low-carbon strategies in public infrastructure. It stands as a model for municipalities statewide, he maintains, demonstrating the potential of sustainable, high-performance asphalt in urban planning. The result is proving so effective, Pahl said he “wouldn’t be surprised if other counties produce sequestered carbon road specifications.” In the meantime, however, Modern Hydrogen has to prioritize the allocation of its limited production. That said, it also has formed a partnership with National Grid, a utility in New York and Massachusetts, to affect a “sea change in the type and use of fuel” used to power high-usage plants. Acknowledging some push-back due to the fact that natural gas is obtained by fracking, Pahl said, “The big-picture takeaway is that there is no perfect solution [to reducing CO2 emissions]. But we must start someplace.” He believes this process has two-fold benefits that can benefit the environment as it supports the quality of transportation.

Collaborative Approach WHILE MANY OFF-HIGHWAY SOLUTIONS supporting the energy transition focus on large scale original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with extensive research and development capabilities, the success of decarbonization initiatives also relies on support for OEMs with more limited resources. This is why Perkins is collaborating with Equipmake and Loughborough University’s Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering School to develop and produce an advanced multi-fuel “drop-in” hybrid integrated power unit. The power unit will be able to directly replace its diesel equivalent in terms of power density and response, enabling a wide range of off-highway industrial OEMs, regardless of their size or the application they manufacture, to accelerate their transition to lower-carbon intensity or zero carbon fuels such as hydrogen, methanol, bio-ethanol and other eFuels and harness electrification. The design will support several fuel types with the initial demonstration utilizing hydrogen. Supported by UK Government funding of £11.14M through the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC), Project Coeus will develop a 7-liter Perkins 1200 Series industrial power unit with hybrid-electric components and advanced controls to enable operation on hydrogen fuel. The 45-250 kW hybrid powertrain system will be configured with factory-installed ECM sensors, radiators, cooling packs, filtration, control systems and aftertreatment hardware in a complete, integrated package that minimizes OEM development timelines and reduces engineering and assembly costs. The three and a half-year project will be led by Perkins’ global engineering headquarters in Peterborough, UK, with Equipmake providing epowertrain technology and Loughborough University supporting through advanced engine analytics and emissions control. Project Coeus will see the design, development and manufacture of a multi-fuel “drop-in” hybrid powertrain, which directly replaces existing diesel solutions in off-highway machines and will support the UK and global off-highway industries to deliver reduced greenhouse gas emissions. “We are pleased to have secured this opportunity to accelerate the development of advanced off-highway power system solutions,” said David Goldspink, Perkins vice president and general manager. “This project will explore, innovate and lead the way to solving some of the key challenges facing the off-highway industry’s energy transition and support the transition towards reduced carbon in this key sector.” Project Coeus will be supported by funding through the APC which leverages research and engagement to provide insight that drives early-stage R&D, funding that takes proof of concepts to marketability, and strategic insight that drives the industrialization of the best technology types to benefit the UK.

Digging in the Trenches By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT
In an effort to combat the effects of a drought in the Southwest United States, the city of Phoenix deployed SSC Underground to provide a underground pipeline to supply a backup water supply from the Salt and Verde Rivers. Phoenix’s drought pipeline project included 12 miles of new pipeline and four booster pumping stations. SSC Underground provided the tunneling portion of the job, working with lead contractors Sundt Construction, six tunnels over four miles; PCL, three tunnels in a water treatment plant; Kiewit, one tunnel in a single location. SSC Underground was tasked with using trenchless technology to burrow through the earth, allowing traffic and everyday life to continue overhead with minimum interruptions. The trenchless technology allows for the placement of casing under freeways, canals, roads, railroad, light rail tracks and anywhere else that open cutting or disturbing the surface is not feasible. These
options place steel casing in sizes ranging from 8 in. to more than 120 in. to carry a variety of carrier line types and sizes. This approach used small skid steers to dig through the rocks and dirt. Workers then used jack-andbore equipment to push the steel casing into the newly created hole. In the Sundt project, the enormous casings were 10 ft. long and 86 in. in diameter, tall enough that the entire Phoenix Suns professional basketball team could walk
Trenchless Technology Key Factor in Pipe Project through without having to stoop. Once the tunnel construction began, precision digging was required. On the Sundt section of the job, the workers needed to dig a tunnel so that the casings would connect the pipe being laid by Sundt in open-cut trenches with approximately one inch tolerance. SSC Underground began working on the project in 2019 and finished in 2022. SSC’s consulting
division worked closely with design engineers and other contractors to devise an underground road map for the work. Using its underground potholing fleet, the crew located existing utility lines so that they could be relocated or pipeline alignment could be designed around them. “Every dollar spent on pre-construction potholing / SUE saves $7.82 in construction costs,” said
“Often when tunnelling we will find previously unknown infrastructure, even gas lines, which of course can be quite dangerous.”

Arvid Veidmark, President of SSC. “Often when tunnelling we will find previously unknown infrastructure, even gas lines, which of course can be quite dangerous.” The tunnel crew installed the steel casings underneath major arterial roadways and intersections, , neighborhood streets and an active water treatment plants. Ground conditions ranged from caliche, cemented cobbles, alluvium and hard dirt. Each day seemed to bring its own set of challenges as workers changed strategy to fit the soil requirements. The job required 12+ trenchless installations. Workers managed each operation to minimize disruption to the public while considering time, cost and risk. SSC kicked off the tunnelling with a 105-ft. installation of 66-in. casing for a 48-in. waterline under Glendale Avenue at the base of Piestewa Peak Mountain, using a motorized boring unit from Robbins to perform this crossing as the ground was solid rock.

A Technology
REVOLUTION Three Key Advancements Changing the Industry Advancements in digital technology and autonomous operations are reshaping the compact equipment industry and how work gets done. Today, many compact construction machines and other jobsite solutions are leaving the factory equipped with wireless information systems, software and sensors designed to make man and machine more productive and efficient. With these technologies, business owners and contractors have a variety of choices for which types of solutions they incorporate into their operations and at what time they do so. While equipment is advancing in many areas, we see three key areas of focus changing equipment today for the jobsite of the future. 1. Advancing Connectivity Telematics, remote operating capabilities and software-as-a-service (SaaS) dealer offerings have become commonplace and these solutions continue to improve over time. At Bobcat Company, operator and machine connectivity is top-of-mind. This has not only pushed us to deliver valuable, new capabilities to our customers, but has also evolved our product ecosystem
Business owners can’t be on every jobsite 24/7 and need an easier and more precise view of what’s going on across their operations. They want to anticipate future needs instead of reacting to current demands. Business owners are increasingly becoming more comfortable with telematics and using data to make smarter, more efficient decisions. With advancements in telematics, like Bobcat Machine IQ, owners can track equipment performance and operator productivity. Telematics offerings vary by provider, but typically allow equipment owners and operators to manage their fleets from afar as they can receive machine data on their cellphone or computer. Owners and operators can remotely receive fault code notifications and troubleshooting guidance to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. Telematics offerings also can make managing a fleet of connected machines much easier. Some telematics systems, like Machine IQ, allow fleet managers to track their machines’ locations, operation hours, fuel usage and other data. Remote operation is another form of con-

nectivity that has become an important evolution on many jobsites today. With functionality like Bobcat MaxControl, operators can remotely operate a compatible loader using an app on an iOS smartphone or tablet. This remote operating system is especially helpful when you’re shorthanded on the jobsite, allowing for quick, two-person jobs to be handled by one person. It also helps operators avoid repeated trips in and out of the cab between one or multiple machines. Advanced digital technologies also offer equipment owners access to new features that don’t require a trip to the dealership for installation. Owners of some compact equipment can quickly enable additional features
on their machine as their jobsite needs change. For example, owners of Bobcat 60- and 70-platform R-Series loaders can easily add select features to their loaders after purchase. Using an app, their dealers can quickly enable Features on Demand, including 2speed travel, high-flow hydraulics, automatic ride control and dual-direction bucket positioning. 2. Options With Alternative Energy Customers today have more challenges to navigate on the jobsite — whether they be government-imposed mandates and regulations or working with clients focused on sussee REVOLUTION page 73
With these technologies, business owners and contractors have a variety of choices for which types of solutions they incorporate into their operations and at what time they do so.

Quality of Signals Trimble introduced Trimble IonoGuard, a nextgeneration technology designed to mitigate ionospheric disruptions in positioning and navigation by minimizing performance impacts caused by scintillation or signal noise. Referred to as solar activity, ionospheric disturbances peak every 11 years. The next major disruption, Solar Cycle 25, is expected to peak between 2024 and 2026. Ionospheric activity can directly impact the quality of GNSS signals, leading to the degradation of position accuracy. While this type of disturbance has the greatest impact on high precision GNSS users operating around equatorial and high latitude regions, global disruptions are possible during the height of the solar cycle. Available as a downloadable firmware update on Trimble GNSS receivers utilizing the Trimble ProPoint GNSS positioning engine, IonoGuard leverages the latest developments in Trimble’s high-precision
receiver hardware design and signal tracking to deliver improved positioning performance in challenging environments. This will minimize the probability of a complete

loss of GNSS signals and improve the quality of the signals’ accuracy and integrity. “IonoGuard is Trimble’s newest innovation on the path to raise the bar on positioning integrity and performance worldwide,” said Stuart Riley, vice president of GNSS technology at Trimble. “It brings our customers closer to uninterrupted and robust positioning data on every project, around the clock. Whether it’s mitigating the impacts of Solar Cycle 25 or another ionospheric event, we’re building advancements into Trimble GNSS technology to deliver accurate and reliable positioning solutions today, tomorrow and beyond.” Availability For Trimble’s geospatial, civil construction and OEM GNSS receivers supporting the ProPoint GNSS positioning engine, IonoGuard is a free downloadable firmware update expected to be available in the 4th quarter of 2023 for receivers under warranty.

tainable site work. Regardless of the reason, alternative energy solutions have become increasingly important and necessary. At Bobcat, we are already seeing some customers — municipalities, for example — gravitate toward adoption of electrification thanks to the sustainability value proposition electric machines provide. Other customers may find electric equipment offers them more jobsite versatility. Producing no emissions, electric machines can offer labor-saving performance and tackle tough jobs on environmentally sensitive worksites or indoors where exhaust is restricted. However, customers are discovering that these solutions offer much more than just sustainability, like the all-electric Bobcat T7X compact track loader. Operators notice the increased power, instant torque and near silent operation in a package that has 50 percent fewer parts and no hydraulic fluid — true game changers to the customers who have driven it. Alternative energy solutions will continue to be developed alongside advancements in diesel-power technology. As long as customers face varying jobsite challenges and needs, the compact equipment industry will continue to develop a variety of jobsite solutions. 3. Streamlining Through Autonomous Operations Autonomous operations may sound intimidating to some, but there are many facets of this functionality that are
already built into our everyday lives even though we may not realize it. For example, if your car can auto-slow or auto-stop if you’re approaching a vehicle too quickly, that's a form of autonomy. Just like in automotive, an integral piece of autonomous operation is object avoidance. Bobcat recently introduced its concept collision warning and avoidance system, which is designed to assist operators’ jobsite awareness. The technology tracks an objects’ position, direction and speed relative to the machine. This functionality will be made available soon on select Bobcat compact track loader and skidsteer loader products. Autonomous and semi-autonomous machine operations can help operators monetize output, not just a piece of equipment. This more connected performance also allows savvy business owners to estimate jobs more easily, as actual work is translated to an actual cost. This innovation will also help business owners plan with greater specificity over time since they will have historical data and trends at their fingertips. Bobcat has several concept machines in development that leverage autonomous operation, including the autonomous zero-turn mower and the concept RogueX compact loader. Wireless information systems, alternative energy solutions and autonomous operations can create competitive advantages to complete complex tasks efficiently, while giving operators more options for how they conduct their
work. Business owners will be able to make more predictive decisions about what jobs they could take on that present real ROI opportunities for their organization. Of course, the threads that weave these capabilities altogether are connectivity. As technology progresses, fleet owners can take advantage of autonomous equipment to complete repetitive tasks like basic material movement while reserving their skilled operators for more complex tasks. Because the need for operators — and skilled workers in general — will continue to be in high demand, equipment manufacturers are designing and building equipment that maximizes their productivity without sacrificing performance. In addition, assigning autonomous operations to repetitive tasks could open doors to more complex jobs that may not have been a reality before. To achieve these advancements over the next several years, a commitment to innovation and stepping into the unknown must take place today. Our industry evolves thanks to those who continue to advance the latest technologies to address the toughest challenges. More than ever, customers expect to see new products, new components, more options and more product launches with emerging technology — and we believe that our industry will continue to meet and even exceed those demands.

Located just 20 mi. outside the nation’s capital, the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge offers a sanctuary to wildlife and a place for people to explore nature. A battery-powered, zero-emission ECR25 Electric compact excavator and L25 Electric compact wheel loader made by Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) are being used to build a new ADA accessible trail in the refuge. Construction of the trail supports the conservation mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages the National Wildlife Refuge System — a network of 567 refuges across the U.S. that offer access to a host of popular activities while providing vital habitat for thousands of wildlife species. “We are excited to partner with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on this project to demonstrate Volvo’s commitment to lowering emissions and working to build the future we all want and need,” said Ray Gallant, VP of Product Management and Productivity, Volvo CE. These are the first pieces of electric heavy equipment to be used on a project by a federal agency. This pilot helps the Service explore ways to minimize its own carbon footprint in natural areas and reduce the

Rajant’s wireless nodes have multiple radios operating at different frequencies and route traffic through mobile nodes to improve connectivity and throughput in dynamic environments. This approach creates more available radio paths, delivering uninterrupted communications where other solutions have failed. The next step is to validate the solution with Command for hauling in production at a mine site to confirm performance and scalability. “Achieving Caterpillar validation has always been a critical requirement for Rajant, since our dealer/integrator network frequently gets asked about supporting autonomy,” said Geoff Smith, Rajant executive vice president of global sales and marketing. “We are very thankful to the entire Caterpillar team for all of their support during this process and look forward to driving new business worldwide for all of our global customers.” For more information, visit Rajant.com and caterpillar.com.
which we all depend. Work was done by a Service Maintenance Action Team that pulls skilled trade employees from various refuges for a short period. Reducing Air, Noise Pollution Projects like the one at the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge give a glimpse of
how electric machines can create a more climate-friendly future for the construction industry. The L25 Electric compact wheel loader is being used to haul and lay down gravel for a wheelchair-accessible half-mile trail around a pond and to clear brush. The ECR25 Electric compact excavator is digging trenches to improve drainage from the pond and helping to build a viewing platform over the pond. The Volvo electric machines produce zero emissions and have significantly lower noise levels than diesel machines. These qualities are especially beneficial when working in a natural area like the refuge, which is home to a diverse array of grasslands, wetlands and woods that attract red foxes, painted turtles, osprey, river otters and countless other species. The project also tested the portable EV ARCTM solar-powered charging system from Beam Global to further reduce fossil fuel involvement on the jobsite. Beam Global is a leader in electric vehicle charging and has partnered with Volvo CE on other projects. The ECR25 and L25 Electric machines will be commercially available in the United States in early 2022. For more information, visit volvoce.com.

was a key connection as this section ran through neighborhoods and had a major impact to residents. The second segment included six 86-in. diameter tunnels under intersections along the 32nd Street alignment for a total of 834 ft. for a 66-in. waterline. These tunnels were constructed using an S70 Bobcat skid steer equipped with either a hammer attachment or a rotary head to do the digging in hard dirt conditions. Production varied between 3 ft. to 9 ft. of installation per shift. As a subcontractor to Sundt Construction, SSC worked as a partner to sequence the tunnels to minimize traffic lane closures and keep access as open as possible to the many businesses along this corridor. “Our deepest dig was 33 feet underground,” said Veidmark. “That was inside the water treatment plant. Our work teams had to keep the equipment running yet remain vigilant while tunneling under roads and important structures. We stayed away from a reservoir and a traffic intersection. Often, they found some previously undiscovered underground structure. They had to decide whether to have it removed or tunnel deeper or go around it.” The final segment of SSC’s installations was for PCL Construction. The digging team installed three 96” tunnels at the origination point of the pipeline, the 24th Street Water Treatment Plant. Using the same skid steer method as in earlier digs, the workers encountered solid rock conditions, averaging 18” per shift of tunnel advancement. These three tunnels — 35 ft., 115 ft. and 101 ft. in length — connect four pits for installation of a 72-in. waterline. Three of the four pits were constructed as semi-permanent structures to allow for the angles and elevations necessary to complete the connections. Not only did work teams have to deal with hard rock, but also surprising weather emerged. “Several times our teams came to work and discovered that the pit had been flooded in the night. We simply pumped out the water and went to work.” Methodology SSC utilizes its equipment and resources to perform crossings utilizing a variety of trenchless methods including:
• Horizontal earth auger boring; • Hand tunnelling; • Small boring unit (SBU); • Boring machine tunnel attachment (BMTA); • Pneumatic pipe ramming. All of these options follow a similar procedure of working out of a bore pit to form a bore or tunnel horizontally through the earth to a reception pit while the steel casing is jacked into place where the earth has been removed. The carrier line (utility) is
then jacked or pushed into the steel casing once it is fully installed. The choice of methodology is dependent on a multitude of factors including soil conditions, jobsite access, length and size of casing, time constraints and type of carrier line being installed. SSC has the experience in these and many other methods to help make your project successful. CEG

Perkins Offers Line of Repair Sleeves for 1100 Series Engines Perkins has introduced a new line of repair sleeves for its 1100 Series engines, enabling end users to return cylinder bores to like-new performance while avoiding the downtime, expense and waste of a full engine overhaul. Available now worldwide, the Perkins 1100 Series repair sleeves allow technicians to restore individual cylinders to their factory dimensions, allowing the original, standardsized pistons to be retained and maintaining proper engine balance. This process significantly reduces the amount of material removed from the block, helping to extend the life of the original casting while minimizing shop time and waste. The repair sleeves are composed of the same material as the engine block to match the wear, thermal and machining characteristics. They have been validated by Perkins engineers for optimal stability and durability through physical accelerated wear tests, simulation analysis, and material analysis and specification, according to the manufacturer. The repair sleeves are suitable for 1100 Series engines configured on off-highway equipment and power solutions in the field since 2003. Offering power output up to 205 kW (275 hp), Perkins 1100 Series engines are used on applications such as tractors, chippers, grinders and other off-highway equipment,
small generator sets and small marine propulsion systems. “As the complexity and expense of engine overhauls have risen over time, equipment owners have requested a flexible, cost-effective solution that enables them to extend operational lifetimes with minimal downtime for service,” said Richard Hemmings, Perkins aftermarket general manager. “This innovative solution for one of our most prevalent engine lines illustrates how our continuous collaboration with customers helps them overcome the challenges they face every day.” Genuine Perkins parts are engineered and tested to the latest factory specifications to support as-new quality and performance. Reliable, genuine parts are designed to return Perkins engines to peak performance for maximum uptime and reduced ownership costs. 1100 Series engine repair sleeves are available through the Perkins global distributor network, which offers a full suite of genuine support and service that help improve performance, longevity and lower total cost of ownership. Services include genuine parts, oil, coolant, fluid testing, engine inspections, prePerkins photo ventative maintenance, the Perkins Platinum The Perkins 1100 Series repair sleeves allow technicians to restore individual Protection extended warranty, and the expertcylinders to their factory dimensions, allowing the original, standard-sized ise of fully trained technicians. pistons to be retained and maintaining proper engine balance.

Illinois Tollway Awards More Than $534M In 2023 Contracts The Illinois Tollway board of directors approved five construction contracts totaling nearly $15 million at its December board meeting, wrapping up investments in 2023 as part of the 12th year of the Move Illinois capital program. In all, 57 construction and professional engineering services contracts totaling more than $534 million have been approved by the Tollway board in 2023. In addition, as part of its annual review of the Move Illinois Program, the Tollway board also agreed to update the Tollway’s capital program commitment to $15.2 billion in total spending over 16 years to make additional investments in the I-490 Tollway Project, as well as incorporate new infrastructure improvements needed as a result of the transition to cashless tolling and increasing regional demand for fiber-optic access that have arisen following the COVID-19 pandemic. The updated program also will accommodate planning and design for future projects. The additional investment will be made without a change to toll rate structures previously approved and affirmed in 2011. In total, the board has awarded 833 contracts valued at approximately $12.2 billion since the Move Illinois Program began in 2012, representing more than 75 percent of the program, with an estimated 126,660 total
jobs created or sustained as of November 2023. Since 2012, the Tollway has delivered the new Illinois Route 390 Tollway and a rebuilt and widened Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) with its new SmartRoad corridor, as well as the new interchange connecting the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) to I-57. Over the next four years the Tollway is scheduled to deliver the new I-490 Tollway; complete the reconstruction and widening of the Central TriState Tollway (I-294); and complete various other projects across the system. “The Illinois Tollway is delivering on the systemwide improvements outlined in the Move Illinois Program as introduced in 2011 and then expanded in 2017 to include a comprehensive solution for the Central Tri-State Tollway, and we look forward to the completion of all of these transformational projects over the next four years,” said Cassaundra Rouse, Tollway executive director. “We’re proud of how far this program has come and how successful it has been in delivering not only real mobility improvements and congestion relief to our customers, but also creating jobs and eco-
nomic development opportunities across the region.” The December construction contracts include 18 certified disadvantaged, minori-

MnDOT Receives Federal Funds to FRA Funds Allow INDOT Move Forward With NLX Planning to Explore Rail Expansion The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced it has received $500,000 in federal funds to advance the planning of the Northern Lights Express (NLX) passenger rail project. The federal grant provides funds to begin preliminary work on the project, which will provide four, round-trip, daily passenger rail trips from Minneapolis to Duluth/Superior. Earlier this year, MnDOT applied for the Corridor Identification and Development Program grant through the Federal Railroad Administration. MnDOT will use the CIDP funds to begin updating planning work originally completed in 2017. The funds are a portion of the 80 percent funding needed from the federal government for the $592.3 million dollar project. This complements the state match received during the 2023 legislative
session, when $194.7 million was appropriated for NLX. MnDOT also applied for a Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program grant to fund final design and construction. MnDOT expects a decision before the end of 2023. “We are eager to move this project forward to final design, but we still have some important steps ahead,” said Greg Mathis, MnDOT planning director for passenger rail. “We will have a clearer timeline once we learn about the additional funding from the Federal Railroad Administration. Until then, we will continue to work with BNSF Railway, the NLX Alliance and local communities to get trains up and running.” For more information, visit dot.state.mn.us/nlx/about.html.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) announced Dec. 8 that the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will receive up to $500,000 to support the assessment and potential development of the Indianapolis - Chicago passenger rail corridor through the Corridor Identification and Development (Corridor ID) Program. “This is a first step toward expanding passenger rail in Indiana,” said INDOT Commissioner Mike Smith. “Receiving this funding allows us to gather essential information to make more informed decisions going forward.” INDOT put forth its application in the spring. The federal funds will go toward preliminary work in preparation for a Service Development Plan. The plan would be comprehensive in nature and include information about necessary track improvements and facilities, operating costs, ridership statistics and state support that would
be necessary to begin sustainable service. There are no state matching funds required for this stage of the program. Other corridors selected for Corridor ID funding in Indiana include: • Chicago - Fort Wayne Columbus - Pittsburgh (Midwest Connect Corridor), applied for by the city of Fort Wayne • Louisville - Indianapolis, applied for by the Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) • Daily service on the Cardinal long distance route, applied for by Amtrak The Corridor ID Program is a comprehensive intercity passenger rail planning and development program that will help guide intercity passenger rail development throughout the country and create a pipeline of intercity passenger rail projects ready for implementation.

Topcon Expands Construction Layout Portfolio With LN-50

Topcon Positioning Systems announced the launch of the LN-50 3D laser, the latest addition to the LN layout navigator family of instruments. Intended to be an affordable and easy-touse solution for digital layout, the LN-50 has a 164-ft. range as compared to the longerrange, full-featured LN-150 that continues to be a mainstay of the Topcon layout portfolio. The new LN-50 is designed specific to homebuilders, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) trades, concrete contractors and others — regardless of their digital technology experience — to achieve highspeed precision in their measuring and layout work, mitigating the risk of errors that can lead to costly rework. “The family of products features a onebutton, self-leveling setup that a wide variety of trade professionals can be comfortable using, particularly those transitioning from traditional layout and measuring methods to digital workflows,” said Ray Kerwin, director, global product planning at Topcon. “If a homebuilder set out to layout a project with a tape measure and a transit, it would take two people to do the work that could be accomplished by one person using the 3D laser, so productivity is a key benefit. Another is accuracy. The user will be able to lay out the job more accurately than using fully manual processes.”
The LN-50 works exclusively with Topcon Digital Layout building construction software. The software is compatible with CAD and BIM software setups and can be used with the Point Manager plug-in for Autodesk Revit or AutoCAD. “The easy-to-use Digital Layout software controls the 3D laser and makes it ‘smart’ so that the user can lay out building corners or plumbing sleeves, for instance, and do it efficiently,” Kerwin said. “The portfolio embodies our commitment to democratizing technology — simplifying and improving the process of transitioning to digital layout in the building construction sector in a cost-effective package,” Kerwin continued. “It has a short learning curve, and is a one-person operation, which is particularly helpful during labor shortages. By providing enhanced productivity, accuracy and quality in an easily accessible system, it reinforces the push toward providing intuitive innovations for both the existing and incoming generations of trade professionals.” “With this system, companies can take on larger projects or even just speed up layout for the projects that they have on the books.” The LN-50 is initially available through specialized dealers in the Americas and European sales channels.

Officials Give Update On Rebuild Illinois Project Status ILLINOIS from page 32
110 mph between Chicago and St. Louis. The $1.6 billion project was made possible by $1.3 billion in federal funds and approximately $300 million from a mix of state and non-federal sources. In Springfield, a $68.3 million project is under way to build underpasses at Madison and Jefferson streets as part of the Springfield Rail Improvements Project, which is aimed at reducing congestion caused by at-grade crossings in the capital city. In July, Metra was selected as the operator of restored passenger rail service between Rockford and Chicago. Rebuild Illinois is providing $275 million for the project, which has stations planned for Rockford, Belvidere, Huntley and Elgin. Service is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2027. Multimodalism at Work Downstate transit providers received nearly $114 million through Rebuild Illinois to build bus shelters, stations and maintenance facilities that will expand and improve service. A total of 32 transit systems will receive funding to advance 44 projects. The Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program awarded $127.9 million for 72 statewide projects that include biking and walking paths, trails, streetscape beautification and other improvements designed to encourage safe travel across the various modes of transportation at the local level. The Illinois Competitive Freight Program awarded $197.5 million to 22 projects that will improve the movement of freight
throughout the state, creating jobs and economic opportunity while enhancing safety and local quality of life. Administered by IDOT using federal funds, the program is designed to implement the goals of the Illinois State Freight Plan. A $5.4 million investment in several airfield improvements at the St. Louis Downtown Airport in St. Clair County will improve safety, reliability and efficiency. The improvements will accommodate more than 500 yearly aircraft maintenance tests that require the operation of engines at high power on the ground for several minutes. The engine run-up will be isolated from airfield operations, reducing noise levels by more than 50 percent and accommodating the airport’s largest aircraft. The federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021 further strengthened the state’s status as the transportation hub of North America. Through discretionary grants made possible by IIJA, Illinois in 2023 was awarded critical federal funding to support vital projects, including the Chicago Transit Authority’s Red Line extension to 130th Street, multiyear improvements to Illinois 9 in Bloomington, upgrades to Chicago’s Union Station and rehabs to four bridges along the Calumet River on the South Side. In late 2023, IDOT received federal approval for its first Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment. The assessment outlines strategies for safety programs, countermeasures and continued collaboration and combined efforts with municipal agencies and
stakeholders to address pedestrian and bicycle safety statewide. The department in 2024 will be developing tools to identify locations with potential for safety improvements and countermeasures. Awards, Recognition In June, the new District 6 headquarters in Springfield was dedicated and renamed in honor of the late James Easterly, a former director of highways of IDOT and a mentor to many employees. The reconstruction and modernization of Chicago’s Jane Byrne Interchange and Will County’s Weber Road interchange won top Midwest honors in the America’s Transportation Awards, sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, AAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Byrne was named a Top 12 finalist for national project of the year, the fourth time in six years an IDOT project made the cut. The Office of Communications received AASHTO’s highest prize for public awareness events for its creative, engaging partnership with the Peoria Chiefs, a minor league baseball team, calling attention to work zone safety through the Orange Barrels mascot and promotion. An online dashboard was launched last spring to inform the public about the progress of Rebuild Illinois. The dashboard includes information on the number of projects awarded, miles and bridges improved, safety improvements completed, as well as the total amount of investment that has been
made possible by Rebuild Illinois. The new Illinois Certification and Research Track in Clinton County will provide a closed facility to support pavement surface research, assess nondestructive testing equipment, evaluate materials for highway construction and certify equipment according to established standards. Commitment to Diversity IDOT hosted the 32nd “Today’s Challenge, Tomorrow’s Reward” conference in February in Springfield. The longtime conference hosted by IDOT’s Office of Business and Workforce Diversity provides female- and minority-owned businesses with opportunities to make connections and develop skills to grow and succeed. The department continued its commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, including contracting and workforce participation through the Building Blocks of Success, a series of free virtual workshops for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. The workshops invite new and existing DBEs, as well as firms interested in becoming certified in the program, to help strengthen their skills, grow their business and bid on state projects. The past year also was noted for progress on IDOT’s latest disparity study to update the goals of its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program. The disparity study is examining the current participation of all contractors on IDOT contracts, including minority- and women-owned firms, to help set future DBE participation levels.
Foresight Intelligence Debuts AI-Powered Mgmt. Platform Foresight Intelligence, a data analytics software provider for the construction industry, introduced new AI-powered features for its Fleet Intelligence solution that can be controlled by voice in English and Spanish. Users can now use mobile devices, such as cell phones and tablets, to use the voice control features to simply ask the Fleet Intelligence solution to assist them with real-time information about the equipment, such as bulldozers, excavators and trucks, being used for a project. This can include equipment location, usage, maintenance and inspection details, all based on the person’s specific role on the project. By making equipment information easily available, construction companies, equipment manufac-
turers, equipment dealers and rental companies can better manage their assets, improve utilization and project outcomes, and make certain they are deploying the right resources at the right time. The new AI-powered voice control features for Fleet Intelligence are purposely designed to be easy to deploy and use, with no training required or technology expertise needed. The new features allow the technology to be quickly adopted by teams because it aligns with how they prefer to work and is as simple as pushing a button and asking for the information they need, promoting safety, ease of use in the field and efficiency. “The construction industry continues to face an extreme labor shortage worldwide, and Fleet Intelligence helps our customers
manage more equipment with fewer people,” said Dale Hanna, CEO of Foresight Intelligence. “We’re taking those productivity gains to an even higher level with the introduction of our voiceenabled, multi-language capabilities of Fleet Intelligence, which will increase the effectiveness of every team member. Construction managers, fleet supervisors, technicians, and operators will be able to access relevant fleet and equipment data in their preferred language with the power of their voice.” Since Fleet Intelligence AI is purpose-built for the construction industry, it provides accurate, reliable, trustworthy and actionable information, with unparalleled insights into every aspect of the mixed fleet environment. It empowers those working with
equipment and vehicles to simply use their voice to get immediate details on the exact location and status of all their assets and equipment from the office, field or other remote locations. “We’ve had telematics, sensors in equipment, computer managed componentry, and other technological advancements, but Fleet Intelligence introduces a tool that has been missing in the equipment industry for some time,” said Ron Slee, managing director of a training business for the heavy equipment industry, Learning Without Scars. “Fleet Intelligence provides triggers and signals that allow teams to proactively manage their equipment, in the language of their choice. These new AI-powered features will have an incredibly positive impact on machine avail-
ability and project profitability.” “Thanks to these effortless voice control features, managing our fleet has become more efficient and streamlined than ever before,” said Jason Watson, inventory control specialist at CJ Hughes. “We’re now able to focus on our core tasks without worrying about the complexities of technology. Kudos to Fleet Intelligence for delivering such a user-friendly and hassle-free solution.” Fleet Intelligence is currently available in English and Spanish, with additional languages coming soon. Foresight Intelligence will continue to innovate and build new features for Fleet Intelligence, infusing AI into every aspect of mixed fleet management.

Wildcat Construction Turns to Shilling to Pave Its Two-Lane Rebuild of K-177 SHILLING from page 1
K-177 is an important artery, connecting people to I-70 in the central part of the state and to scenic areas like the Flint Hills region, Council Grove Lake and some of the only tallgrass prairie left in North America. When the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) decided it was time to fix this two-lane highway, it selected Wildcat Construction as the lead contractor to rebuild the road. Wildcat turned to Shilling Construction to handle the paving. Travis Shilling, vice president of Shilling Construction, supervised the project. The job required a full-depth rebuild of parts of the highway and mill and overlay in other sections to bring the road up to modern highway standards. “We were able to purchase land near the middle of the project and set up a portable asphalt plant to bring the material to the site quickly,” said Shilling. “Like in most state projects, KDOT allowed us to use 25 percent recycled material in the mix. This was a big project as we brought in 154,000 tons of asphalt to rebuild this road.” The construction team used locally sourced aggregate for the job. Workers rebuilt 22.6 mi. of K-177. The construction team built 10 in. of asphalt above the subgrade and topped it with 1.5 in. of Superpave, which is the interstate standard. “Because the road that we worked on was almost all twolane we had to shut down the southern section for construction in 2022 and the northern section in 2023,” said Shilling. “This allowed us to work quickly and provide maximum safety for our workers.” The project required two years to complete. While Shilling was doing the pavement work, Wildcat installed numerous box culverts, managed local streams and built several bridges. The bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad was the most complex and required coordination from the company to cause minimal disruptions. The team also built bridges across West Branch Mill Creek, Deadman Creek and other local waterways. The Shilling team used a Weiler material transfer vehicle for their work and a new Caterpillar paver. The Cat paver was an AP-1055F with a SE-60V screed that has SDX screed plates installed. The SDX plates helped the team achieve better density, smoother profiles and helped with Shilling Construction photo

thermal segregation. John Foster of Benesch teamed up with Shilling on the project. Benesch did inspections and handled some training for KDOT workers. “This was a satisfying job that was more than 10 years in the making,” said Foster. “The workers moved a lot of dirt to improve the sightlines and safety on this important road.” The construction workers used the material excavated for the project to raise the road in some places while eliminating hills in other places. The completed road is 15 ft. wide with 10-ft. shoulders. The project has been nominated for a pavement award from KDOT and Kansas Asphalt Pavement Association. CEG

ARTBA Sees Increase in 2024 Transportation Construction SURVEY from page 1
$126 billion this year, up from $108.6 in 2023. In her annual market outlook, ARTBA’s chief economist, Alison Premo Black, pointed to two factors in the sector’s growth in activity. “After two years, many of the projects supported by the IIJA are in the construction phase,” she said. “Many states are increasing their own revenues to match federal funds and make additional transportation investments.” She said states are making the most of a combination of general fund transfers, bond issues, business taxes and other user-fee increases. ARTBA reported the total value of overall transportation construction work, including highways, will grow 14 percent from $187 billion in 2023 to $214 billion in 2024. “This is in line with other market indicators, including ARTBA’s analysis of state DOT budgets,” said the association. “State DOTs plan to increase highway and bridge capital spending by 13 percent in fiscal year 2024.” Contractors Plan to Wait, See AGC members responded to the association’s most recent business outlook survey with mixed reactions. Citing the challenges contractors face and the types of technology they may or may not embrace this year, AGC’s survey partner Sage said respondents have challenges to
overcome. “Contractors are still struggling … with significant labor shortages … higher interest rates and a supply chain that, while better, is still far from normal,” the survey found. Stephen Sandherr, association CEO, said 2024 offers “a mixed bag” for construction contractors. “On one hand, demand for many types of projects should continue to expand and firms will continue to invest in the tools they need to be more efficient,” he said. “Meanwhile, they face significant challenges when it comes to finding workers, coping with rising costs and weathering the impacts of higher interest rates.” The survey found that the shift in demand for different types of projects is significant. AGC members are less confident about growth prospects this year. The survey results found respondents most optimistic about a range of public-sector market segments but see less-robust private sector demand. The Sage-AGC survey found contractors have “tempered” last year’s high expectations for new investments in infrastructure. “Nowhere did contractors’ expectations for growth in a market segment drop more … than in the highway and street and other transportation construction,” according to AGC. While a few firms got work because of new federal investments, a growing number have found they’re hamstrung by the federal review process and new Buy America rules. Adobe stock photo

Contractors’ expectations for the construction industry in 2024 is ‘a mixed bag,’ according to an AGC member survey.
As a result, the benefits to them from these new federal funds for transportation are actually limited. “While contractors remain mostly upbeat, their top worries for 2024 include fears about the impacts of higher interest rates on demand for construction,” said AGC. Members also are worried about what a possible recession would do to the economy. Contractors continue to be concerned about workforce shortages and their impacts on construction prices and schedules, the association reported. “And they continue to see projects being delayed — sometimes indefinitely — because of rising costs, slower schedules and shrinking demand for finished products. How Survey Results Shake Out The survey noted the number of respondents who expect the dollar value of projects to expand is positive again this year for 14 construction categories. “On balance, contractors remain upbeat about the available dollar value of projects to bid on in 2024,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. However, AGC found a smaller share expects the markets they compete in to expand this year. “The optimism regarding opportunities for most project types is less widespread than it was a year ago,” added Simonson. The numbers decreased from the 2023 survey for nine project types, increased for six types and remained unchanged for two.
Water and sewer construction received the highest net positive reading, at 32 percent. The category “nosed out” last year’s leaders. Highway and bridge as well as transit, rail and airport transportation construction saw the highest share in 2023. Federal projects are at 29 percent. “The highest expectation among predominantly private-sector categories is for power projects, with a net reading of 25 percent,” reports AGC. Further, nearly two-thirds of survey respondents said projects they were involved with have been postponed or canceled. Almost as many reported projects were postponed or canceled last year and not rescheduled as did those whose projects were postponed but rescheduled. The survey found 10 percent have already experienced postponement or cancellation of a project that had been scheduled for the first half of this year. AGC said only 23 percent of respondents have not had any significant supply-chain problems. “However, sixty-four percent noted that rising interest rates or financing costs are one of their biggest concerns for 2024,” said the association. And 63 percent listed insufficient supply of workers or subcontractors and 62 percent are worried about the likelihood of an economic slowdown/recession. In addition, 58 percent listed rising labor costs (pay, benefits and employer taxes); 56 see SURVEY page 96

In addition, 58 percent listed rising labor costs (pay, benefits and employer taxes); 56 percent pick worker quality; and 54 percent list materials costs as major concerns. AGC members said they plan to invest in new technologies as a means of more efficient and productive operations. New or bigger investments in drones, AI tools and offsite production operations are on the books. Nearly 40 percent of firms say they will either increase their investment in drones (26 percent) or make an initial investment (14 percent). And 30 percent of firms will make an initial investment (19 percent), or increase their investment (11 percent), in AI. Finally, almost 30 percent plan to make more use of (21 percent), or start to use (9 percent), offsite production. “Technology has played an instrumental role in helping construction firms build more efficiently while navigating current challenges,” said Dustin Stephens, Sage vice president of construction and real estate. “In this era of digital transformation, technology serves as a cornerstone for sustained growth and success.” He noted nearly all firms plan to increase or keep level their investment in software, most likely accounting and project management products. Close behind is document management software, cited by 36 percent of firms. Also, many firms will continue spending on IT tools designed to streamline accounting, project management and other back-office functions. “But even as firms make these investments, many worry that they lack the time and personnel to properly implement and train for these new technologies,” found AGC. Simonson noted that more than two-thirds of the respondents expect to add staff, compared to only 10 percent who expect a decrease in worker numbers. While just under half expect to increase their headcount by 10 percent or less, nearly one-quarter anticipate larger increases, he said. “However, seventy-seven percent of respondents report they are having a hard time filling some or all salaried or hourly craft positions,” he added. “The majority expects that hiring will continue to be hard or will become harder.” Most firms reported that they’d made adjustments last year to attract and retain workers. In fact, 63 percent increased base pay rates more than in 2022, while 25 percent provided incentives or bonuses. And 24 percent of the firms increased their portion of benefit contributions and/or improved employee benefits. The association concluded 2024 offers “a mixed bag” for construction contractors. And, the association found, firms will continue to invest in the tools they need to be more efficient, productive and profitable. “Yet contractors are less enthusiastic about most market segments than they were at the start of 2023.” At the same time, significant challenges in finding workers, coping with rising costs and weathering the impacts of higher interest rates, are unavoidable. The association concluded that many of the challenges contractors are facing depend on the actions of public officials to address.

ARTBA noted many of the projects supported by the IIJA are in the construction phase and many states are increasing revenues to match federal funds for greater transportation investments.
“If the Biden administration were to act on Congressionally mandated permitting reforms, many more infrastructure and construction projects would start this year, countering the small impact those investments have had to date,” said Sandherr. He also hit on the five-to-one funding gap between college-prep programs and career and technical education. “If public officials would narrow [the gap], more students would be exposed to construction and would likely pursue careers in the field.” Sandherr said AGC will continue to urge the Biden administration to implement mandated reforms to the federal review and permitting process. He wants assurance “the federal government no longer serves as the biggest obstacle to its own construction investments.” The association will be pushing for new funding for construction education and training programs, he added. He wants the programs a part of this year’s Workforce and Innovation Opportunity Act and the Pell Grant reauthorization legislation. “We are committed to working with policy makers and our members to make sure the conditions are right for firms to be successful in their efforts to improve the nation’s infrastructure, modernize manufacturing and build an even stronger economy,” Sandherr added.
