Midwest 6, March 16, 2024

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

Amidst frigid temperatures, construction crews in Minnesota worked on a turbine interchange designed to improve traffic operations and safety on both I-35W and I-494.

As part of the $103 million project, the new ramp being built in the northeast corner of the interchange will enable vehicles heading northbound I-35W to WB I-494 to move more efficiently.

“The turbine [flyover] ramp from NB 35W to

WB 494 is higher speed and allows traffic to flow more freely than the current cloverleaf loop,” explained Tim Clyne, I-494 construction project manager. “The other main feature of the see WINTER page 102

Greenhouse Gas Rules Cause a Stink

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The construction industry has declared its support of 22 states challenging the FHWA’s greenhouse gas (GHG) performance rules, which went into effect this past December. The AGC and ARTBA believe the federal agency lacks the authority to impose performance measures and that FHWA has underestimated the administrative costs resulting from the mandate. The courts will decide this month.

The two associations, filing briefs in federal courts in February, joined several construction industry groups who consider the mandate burdensome and untenable.

DOT Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the proposed performance measure will offer states a clear and consistent framework to track carbon pollution.

Chiefs Unveil Concepts for Reimagined Arrowhead Stadium

On Feb. 28, the Kansas City Chiefs unveiled initial concepts for a complete reimagination and renovation of Arrowhead Stadium that will move the iconic stadium into the future. The announcement was made at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

“For more than five decades, Arrowhead Stadium has been the home of the Chiefs, and a home for so many of our fans,” said Clark Hunt, Chiefs chairman and CEO. “This is where generations of Chiefs fans fell in love with the game. History has been written here, legends have been born here, and lifelong memories have been made within these walls. The stadium has become part of the fabric of our community. Today we are

excited to share our plans to extend the life of Arrowhead for future generations of Chiefs fans.”

The club has consulted with a team of experts from Populous — one of the world’s preeminent sports design and architecture firms that is headquartered in Kansas City — on best-in-class features and concepts that would elevate an already revered venue and unrivaled fan experience to new heights. The team presented renderings and video of proposed repairs, maintenance, renovations and enhancements that would maintain Arrowhead Stadium as the home of the four-time Super Bowl champion Chiefs for decades to come but would double down on its status as an iconic cultural

landmark for Kansas City and the entire Midwest region, as well as a destination for sports and entertainment fans from around the world.

Renovation concepts include:

• New turf-covered Activation Zone with tailgate areas and covered entertainment space built over the current site of Kauffman Stadium for gameday activations and year-round community opportunities.

• A new upper concourse connection bridge will create 360degree wrap-around connectivity for fans on the upper concourse as well as additional space for new food and beverage points of sale.

• Upper concourse canopy will provide weather protection for all fans on the upper-level concourse,

in addition to infrared heaters and overhead fans increasing yearround comfort.

• New VIP stadium entry points will lead to all-new spaces inside the stadium and also will decrease fan traffic and congestion at existing general admission gates.

• New sideline clubs will be constructed after excavating under the lower-level seating bowl to create new premium experiences for gamedays and special events.

• New video boards will be increased in size while keeping their iconic shape to complement the stadium’s unique curved endzones while new LED ribbon boards also will be installed.

• Upgraded TV, Wi-Fi, DAS (distributed antenna system) and

audio system technology will be introduced throughout the stadium, enhancing fan connectivity as well as the clarity and quality of the game presentation in-stadium.

• New end zone clubs and suites will introduce new viewing and hospitality experiences that are now common in newer NFL venues.

• New concession stands, retail spaces and restrooms will result in improved access and reduced wait times around the building.

• A new field access tunnel will provide a new field access point for visiting teams, closer access to new visiting team areas, as well as faster event turnover for major concerts and other special events.

MAA Holds Conference, Trade Show in Battle Creek, Mich.

The 2024 Michigan Aggregates Association (MAA) Annual Conference and Trade Show was held at Fire Keepers Casino in Battle Creek, Mich., Feb. 14 and 15. The event kicked off with a series of educational sessions covering subjects ranging from safety issues, equipment maintenance and aggregate production to new technologies, environmental issues and community engagement in a digital world.

Just of few of the MAA conference presentations included:

• Proper Bearing Lubrication — Dean Burcroff of Bearing Service

• Intro to AASHTOWARE — Dan Burns of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)

• Stockpile Management Best Practices for Loader Operators — Keith Childress of Great Lakes Aggregates and Nathan Gates of Verplank

During the Welcome Reception, attendees had opportunities to meet with representatives of Michigan’s leading equipment, product and service providers to discuss the latest innovations in equipment and products in a tabletop exhibit area for the trade show portion of the event.

“[Due] to industry partners like yours we had our most successful conference ever with nearly 400 in attendance over the length of the event,” said Doug Needham, Michigan Aggregates Association executive director. “Our industry is more important than ever to the growth of our state and country as we rebuild and advance our transportation systems and see expansion in private construction and the clean energy field. It was exciting to see the cutting edge of construction science displayed by vendors and presenters alike.”

Founded in 1960, the MAA is a non-profit trade organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the interests, growth and welfare of Michigan’s aggregates industry.

MAA membership is comprised of individuals and organizations involved with the production of crushed stone, sand and gravel, industrial and recycled materials along with suppliers of equipment and other goods and services needed to produce mineral products.

Ronson Equipment’s Ronald Wietbrock Passes Away at 85

Ronald Wietbrock, 85, lifelong resident of Lowell, Ind., passed away March 7, 2024.

Mr. Weitbrock was co-owner of the family business, Ronson Equipment.

A construction equipment industry veteran for more than 50 years, he, along with his son, David, founded the company in Griffith, Ind., in August 2000. At the start, it was a fourman operation — the Wietbrocks, Skip Henson and Terry Miller.

The company quickly expanded to a larger facility in Lowell. As the product lines grew, a second location in Westville, Ind., opened with its top lines that include Kobelco, DEVELON, ASV and Kioti.

Mr. Weitbrock is survived by his wife of 63 years, Judy; daughters-in-law, Susie and Lisa; grandchildren, Kelsey (Kyle) Pattee, Kristy (Ryan) Sanders, Sarah (Zachery Schrock) and John (Mackenzie);

great grandchildren, Ryleigh, Aubrey and Maverick Pattee; Jack Sanders; sister, Marlene Quisenberry; sister-in-law, Evelyn; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his sons, David and Paul, and a brother Clyde.

Mr. Weitbrock was a very active and lifelong member of Lowell’s Trinity Lutheran Church, member of Lowell Lions Club and was an Army Reservist. He loved fishing and was a two-time Fish Fest champ. He was a founding member of the Lowell Grandpa’s Breakfast Club.

Most important to Mr. Weitbrock was sharing with his family how to live a faithfilled and loving life.

Funeral services were held March 11.

Memorial contributions may be given to his church at 631 W. Commercial Ave. 

Construction Industry Revolution... Robots, Drones, AI — Oh, My! Technologies for Construction

With the release of the AGC 2024 Outlook survey, the construction industry is undergoing a revolution with innovative technologies, including robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), building information modeling (BIM) and drones.

However, knowing these innovative technologies is not enough. Companies that know how to implement these technologies strategically and effectively will be leaders in a new era of precision, collaboration and success.

AI Enhances Efficiency

AI is at the forefront of the technological revolution, empowering decision-making processes and optimizing project management. Thirty percent of construction firms will make an initial investment or increase their investment in AI. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data, offering valuable insights to enhance productivity, risk management and resource allocation. AI also can

help automate repetitive tasks.

To implement AI in the workplace, first identify areas where AI can bring the most value. For example, firms use predictive maintenance to analyze historical and real-time data to predict future outcomes, identify potential hazards and make recommendations to prevent them from happening. This helps prevent costly breakdowns; improve operational efficiency; and enhance safety protocols, as well as ensure seamless integration with existing project management systems and set realistic timelines and schedules.

BIM Improves Collaboration

Architects, engineers and designers are using BIM to create 3D representations of the physical and functional aspects of the buildings, providing a comprehensive overview of the entire project lifecycle. This allows the team to identify and resolve potential conflicts before they become onsite issues,

reducing the likelihood of errors and delays, and saving time and resources. Implementing BIM involves clearly outlining project objectives to define how BIM can address challenges. It is important to choose BIM software that suits the scale and complexity of the projects. Establish collaboration protocols and standards to ensure consistency in BIM implementation across different teams and project phases.

Robotics Reduce Risks

Integrating robotics in construction automates traditionally laborintensive and time-consuming tasks, enhancing efficiency and reducing the risk of workplace injuries. Examples include material-placing robots, prefabrication approaches, demolition robots and self-driving heavy equipment. These machines work tirelessly, consistently delivering precise results faster than human labor. Plus, by taking on hazardous tasks, they can play a crucial role in

improving human safety.

To implement robotics, identify tasks in the construction process that can benefit from automation. Depending on the identified tasks, choose robotic solutions that align with your project requirements and equipment. However, ensure you implement safety measures and protocols when introducing robotics to construction sites.

Drones Optimize Resources

Drones have become indispensable tools in construction project management. These machines are equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors and can capture detailed images, aiding in planning, surveying and mapping. Performing flyovers allows stakeholders to monitor work remotely and provides the ability to access hazardous areas. The data collected from the drones can help make better decisions, optimize resources and enhance project timelines.

Implementing drones first

requires determining specific drone applications, such as surveying, mapping, progress monitoring and inspecting. Select drones equipped with the necessary sensors and cameras, and consider factors like flight time, range and data resolutions. From there, develop workflows for processing and analyzing the data collected by the drones. This may involve using specialized software for topographical mapping, volumetric analysis and site logistics.

Enhance Your Construction Firm

Consider how these innovative technologies could be implemented to revolutionize how your firm operates. Ensure you have the latest in modern office technologies for the construction and design industry. Work with your IT group to create an ongoing strategy and plan aligned to your business goals.  (This article was provided by Associated General Contractors of Minnesota.)

Red Covered Bridge: Restoring Princeton, Ill., Antique

Princeton’s Red Covered Bridge has endured horse-drawn wagons, automobiles, trucks and tourists as well as serving as a picturesque backdrop for countless proms and weddings during its 160 years of existence. While the iconic bridge has survived large trucks hitting it in the past, the damage from another one in November caused by a driver trying to squeeze through the structure’s tight confines was different and much more severe.

As with any restoration project involving an antique, careful and meticulous planning done with respect to historic attributes will be paramount — and time consuming. Analyzing and determining the scope of the damage, developing a plan for repairs, programming costs and seeing through to construction likely will take years.

“Compared to any other incidents, the recent incident involved significant damage to the roof and many parts of the wooden trusses,” said Luis Calderon, bridge maintenance engineer of IDOT’s District 3 in Ottawa.

across this bridge.”

In the November incident, the semi driver attempted to drive through the north side of the 11-ft.-10-in.-tall bridge, damaging sections of the façade and roof. The impact was so strong that it ripped off the trailer roof of the semi and created a large gash through the bridge’s roof.

Calderon said an initial inspection immediately after the incident required closing the bridge to both vehicles and pedestrians. While the bridge continues to be assessed for repairs, workers from Day Labor, IDOT’s in-house construction unit, installed temporary shoring to maintain the integrity of the roof until a permanent fix can be made.

From Horse-Drawn Wagons to Horsepower

Completed in 1864 for $3,148.47, the Red Covered Bridge is a one-lane timber truss structure spanning Bureau Creek a half-mile west of Illinois 26 and a mile north of Princeton in Bureau County. The bridge replaced a pontoon bridge that would flood during high water and force travelers to traverse the river.

Oak and other lumber was shipped from Chicago to construct the bridge, one of about 200 bridges built in Illinois in the 19th century. When opened, the bridge was an important part of the Galena Trail carrying horse-drawn wagons and cattle between Peoria to Galena. The bridge posted a warning at each entrance for travelers which reads:

“Five dollar fine for driving more than 12 horses or mule or cattle at one time or for leading any beast faster than a walk on or

The state later assumed control of the bridge, currently one of five state-owned covered bridges in Illinois. A 1963 state law requires the department to repair, maintain, operate, control and preserve every covered bridge in the state.

The Red Covered Bridge has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. The bridge has one distinction over the other covered bridges in Illinois: It is the only one open to traffic. According to the most recent statistics, the bridge accommodated an average of 275 vehicles a day.

Crashes, Near Misses

The bridge survived several incidents prior to the November crash. An arsonist in 1971 attempted to burn it down. Erosion along Bureau Creek in the 1990s threatened the bridge after it damaged the Illinois 26 bridge upstream. High winds in 2003 felled a 90-ft.-tall cottonwood tree across the north side of the deck leading to the bridge but missed the main structure.

The bridge has received several upgrades in recent decades, such as a fire suppression system, lighting and a surveillance system. While these improvements have helped protect the bridge, it has not been spared from crashes involving large trucks.

Prior to the most recent crash, the last notable one was in 2021, when a semitrailer struck one of the bridge entrances. The bridge was repaired that same year. The bridge also underwent maintenance and repair work in 2022 as workers replaced the steel beams supporting the south approach to the bridge as well as cleaned and painted the steel beams for the north approach. New timber planking was added at both ends.

Unlike those prior repairs, the damage incurred in November will require more than a quick fix.

Repairing History

Calderon said IDOT’s Bridge Office typically will develop repair plans for damaged structures and bridges that either Day Labor or the district’s maintenance forces can accomplish quickly. However, these repair plans are usually smaller and do not require much coordination.

In the case of the Red Covered Bridge, the extent of the current damage requires IDOT to alter its approach.

Due to the historical significance and several involvements needed to address repairs, the District 3 program development bureau will be leading the repair and restoration efforts,” Calderon said. “Coordination with other agencies and plan details are just as important as the construction work.”

The Red Covered Bridge’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places requires additional coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office to ensure the historic aspects of the bridge are not significantly changed during the repairs, said District 3 Program Development Engineer Michael Short. Compared to a conventional bridge construction project, covered bridges are unique as they contain many wooden components.

“When working with historic structures and pavements, it’s a challenge to meet the goal of building infrastructure in the most cost-effective manner while also preserving the historic aspects of the structure or pavement,” Short said.

The path to repairing the project will require several steps:

• Development of a bridge condition report, in which a team of structural engineers will closely inspect and examine the structure and determine the extent of the necessary repairs that are the result of the crash. The inspection also will review the entire structure for typical aging of the structure over time and will include initial concepts of repair techniques.

• A phase one report to define the scope of work and a preliminary cost estimate. Additionally, this phase will include coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office, with the goal of achieving their concurrence on the proposed repairs. A phase one report typically requires 18 months to complete.

• Preparation of detailed construction plans and specifications, as well as a detailed cost estimate. This phase is expected to take 12-18 months to complete and will result in advertising a repair contract to bidders.

Short said a cost estimate is unknown until the phase one report is completed. Construction is not expected to begin for a few years.

“Since we do not know the scope of the repairs that need to be performed, we cannot predict how long it will take to make the repairs,” he added.

The Red Covered Bridge isn’t the first historical project District 3 has undertaken. In 2019 the district worked with the State Historic Preservation Office to patch a stretch of Old Route 66 between Chenoa and Pontiac in Livingston County. The $640,392 project required utilizing colored concrete and special finishing techniques to closely match it to the color and texture of the existing concrete.

Short said while these types of techniques are more expensive, they help to preserve the historic nature of the facilities. The project was honored with the “Best Historical Restoration/Preservation” project of less than $5 million from the Illinois chapter of the American Public Works Association in 2021.

“We coordinate with the State Historic Preservation Office on many projects, so we are used to working with them,” he said. “We are aware of the time they need to do their review, and plan on that when we develop our project schedule.”

Both Calderon and Short ask the public to be patient with the repair process for the Red Covered Bridge.

“This is a historic structure, and it will take time for the department to develop a plan for repairs that addresses both the structural aspects and the historic aspects of the structure,” Short said. 

Missouri Commission Awards Final Projects of Rural Routes Program

The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded three projects for rural roads, the final projects awarded in the Governor’s Rural Routes Program. The program, created with Gov. Mike Parson’s signing of the fiscal year 2024 state budget, allocated $100 million of general revenue funds to the Missouri Department of Transportation to improve low-volume rural roads across the state.

“This investment from the state of Missouri to specifically target these minor and low volume routes is a huge boost in our effort to preserve our existing infrastructure,” said Eric Schroeter, MoDOT assistant chief engineer. “We’ve worked quickly to get these projects identified and awarded, and we look forward to continuing to bring these improvements to life.”

Using a data driven analysis along with conversations with local planning partners, MoDOT identified and targeted more than 1,800 lane miles of low volume roads in poor condition. The program bundled the work to address these roadways into 40 projects across the state, and once construction concludes, will have treated and improved 147 locations.

The $100 million program in fiscal year 2024 marked the second year of such an investment from the state’s general revenue. The fiscal year 2023 program improved an additional 1,700 lane miles in 113 locations across the state.

“Today’s awards might signify the near completion of this

program, but the investment in these routes doesn’t end with this program,” said Schroeter. “Our current Statewide Transportation Improvement Program includes a total of $1.74 billion worth of work on rural roads over the next five years, highlighting an historic effort to maintain in good condition the more than 57,000 minor and low volume lane miles across Missouri.”

Kansas DOT Issues $16.5M for Short Line Rail Projects Through State RSIP

Nearly $16.5 million will go to 17 short line rail expansion and rehabilitation projects in Kansas, funded through the Kansas Department of Transportation’s Rail Service Improvement Program or RSIP.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D) said in a statement that funding will help improve her state’s agriculture supply chain.

“These needed rail infrastructure improvements will lift up rural Kansas and, in doing so, will maximize the economic potential of the entire state,” she added. “By strengthening agriculture supply chains, my administration is helping our farmers and ranchers connect to regional, national and international markets.”

The Kansas DOT noted that RSIP recipients will use that funding for rail expansion and capacity improvements, major track rehabilitation and track replacement projects — funding enhanced by a 30 percent match from each recipient, resulting in a total rail infrastructure investment of more than

$23.5 million.

“Rail service lessens the number of trucks that would otherwise be on local roads and Kansas highways, which reduces roadway maintenance and rehabilitation needs,” noted Calvin

Deere Expands Line of P-Tier Compact Wheel Loader Models

Addressing the needs of customers looking for compact solutions that provide enhanced maneuverability, stability and power, John Deere expands its Performance Tiering offerings with the shift from L-Series to P-Tier for the 244, 324 and 344 compact wheel loader models.

The new P-Tier compact wheel loaders will carry over all L-Series features and will introduce new productivity-enhancing qualities, including standard ride control in base models and optional factory-installed features, including an auto-reversing fan option.

Additional optional features include attachment assist controls, which include integrated electrical (three-pin) controls for attachments and combined creep control and throttle lock.

“As we continue to make the shift from past generation machines to our current generation of Performance Tiering models, we aim to keep the same features our customers know and trust on the L-Series models, with the added benefits of new productivity enhancements only available on the P-Tier machines,” said Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager, John Deere.

Previously offered as an optional upgrade on L-Series models, ride control is now standard on all P-Tier compact wheel loaders. Ideal for customers moving materials over long distances, or on hard surfaces, ride control cushions boom movements during transport, acting like a shock absorber to help minimize material spillage.

Increasing operator comfort and productivity, this feature is applied with a flip of a switch in the cab and can be set to automatically engage and disengage at a predetermined speed.

In addition, P-Tier compact wheel loaders continue to feature industry-exclusive Articulation Plus, which enables rear-wheel steering to increase full-turn tipping load and improve maneuverability. This steering system combines 30 degrees of standard articulation with an additional 10 degrees of rear-wheel steering. Articulation Plus also provides a significantly higher full-turn tipping load than machines without this feature, as the machine does not need to articulate as much to turn, according to the manufacturer.

This feature results in a tighter turning radius than comparatively sized loaders without Articulation Plus.

Designed to provide increased ease of use for operators when utilizing attachments, the upgraded combined creep control and throttle lock found within the attachment assist controls package allows customers to run their machines with higher RPMs and lower ground speeds with overall fewer manual inputs. An enhanced pause and resume function means that reactivating the feature after a change in direction or switch to neutral is seamless as well.

An additional feature now offered on P-Tier compact wheel loaders is an optional auto-reversing fan, which is an easy-to-use solution for customers operating on sites with an abundance of debris or dust. This solution is also ideal for applications in agriculture, aggregates and site development.

To increase operator convenience, the fan can be turned on and off from the console in the cab. The operator also can control the fan’s time intervals by holding down the switch, making for an automated convenience during operation, keeping the operator focused on the job at hand.

Ring Power, James Roe Gear Up for 2024 INDY NXT Season

Buckle up, racing fans! Irish phenom James Roe and Ring Power Corporation, the premier Cat dealer in north and central Florida, announced their continued partnership for the 2024 INDY NXT by Firestone season.

This dynamic duo is back for another year of high-octane action, fueled by a shared passion for excellence and a relentless pursuit of victory.

“I’m incredibly grateful for Ring Power’s unwavering support,” said Roe. “Their dedication to pushing boundaries, both on and off the track, has been instrumental in my journey. This partnership isn’t just about sponsorships; it’s about a shared passion for exceeding expectations and achieving the impossible together.”

David Alban, president of Ring Power, echoed Roe’s sentiment.

“Continuing our partnership with James isn’t just about supporting a talented driver; it’s about aligning ourselves with the same values that drive Ring Power forward. His relentless pursuit of excellence, commitment, teamwork, integrity and unwavering focus on safety are the cornerstones of our company culture.

“We see James’s passion in every lap, and it mirrors our commitment to delivering

peak performance in everything we do.”

In 2023, Roe showcased his talent and dedication to his craft — with 10 top-ten finishes, including his first INDY NXT podium on the hallowed grounds of the

Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. His success during the 2023 season demonstrated his ability to learn, adapt and conquer new challenges.

Building on this strong foundation, Roe is

poised for a break-out season in 2024 as he returns to pilot the No. 29 Topcon Dallara for the Andretti INDY NXT team.

The partnership between Ring Power and Roe extends far beyond the racetrack. Both parties share a deep-rooted passion for innovation and technology, constantly striving to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Ring Power leverages cutting-edge data analysis and advancements to optimize job site safety, equipment performance and productivity for its customers. This dedication to progress resonates with Roe’s relentless pursuit of excellence on the track, where every millisecond and strategic decision can make the difference between victory and defeat.

“At Ring Power, we believe in harnessing the power of technology to achieve optimal results,” said Alban. “It’s this shared commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing the latest advancements that truly cements the synergy between James Roe and Ring Power. We’re both constantly striving to be the best, and together, we’re unstoppable.”

The Ring Power logo will continue to be proudly displayed on the No. 29 livery, a symbol of unwavering support and a shared vision for success. 

For milling applications, a well-trained operator can eyeball the changes of slope and contours necessary for drainage and ADA requirements in a parking lot, but it's a considerable amount of work.

Illinois’ Rabine Paving Leads Way With New 3D Roadworks

When it comes to parking lot and utility restoration of large commercial and industrial sites, Schaumburg, Ill.-based Rabine Paving is an industry leader. Currently, Rabine operates three self-performing paving companies in the United States, one in the upper Midwest, one on the East Coast (Maryland), and one in Texas, with names like Walmart and FedEx on its customer list.

“When it comes to pavement restoration, surface smoothness, drainage and ADA adaptations are the primary challenge,” said Kyle Miller, director of operations at Rabine. “We have great operators who are able to adjust to these complexities and deliver optimal results — but we’re always looking to give them every advantage. That’s where technology comes into play.”

In early 2023, Rabine became a beta tester for the new Trimble Roadworks Paving Control Platform for Mills and Cold Planers, which runs on an Android operating system. For milling, a 3D design is displayed to the machine operator showing areas that are on, above or below ideal grade, comparing the actual drum position and slope with the digital design. The platform automatically guides the milling drum to cut the defined depth and slope without string lines or manual adjustments.

“It’s really the next level and an opportunity for us to significantly improve our efficiency, field safety and precision,” said Miller. “It’s also a key component of our efforts to attract new operators to our industry.”

Pushing 3D Boundaries

Rabine is not new to the benefits of 3D machine control. The contractor has been running 3D-enabled concrete screeds for

several years, though its milling systems remained entirely 2D.

When Miller joined the company in January 2023, he immediately looked to 3D for paving applications.

“I came from the civil and earthworks industry where 3D machine control is fairly well established. I wondered if there was a place for 3D in our milling workflows.”

For milling applications, a well-trained operator can eyeball the changes of slope and contours necessary for drainage and ADA requirements in a parking lot, but it’s a considerable amount of work.

“If a third-party inspector finds any deviation outside the specs, we have to rework, which is always a costly endeavor. I believed that the same advantages we’ve had with the screeds could be realized with a more automated milling solution.”

He talked to Paul Henke, sales representative for the local Trimble Heavy Civil

Construction dealer, SITECH Midway, about the possibilities, which coincidentally opened the door to beta testing the newest Trimble milling solution.

The Roadworks Paving Control Platform for mills and cold planers was installed on a Rabine paver in April and was on a job site in May 2023.

Operator Optimization

The first project that Rabine put the new 3D mill solution to work on was a mill job at an office building/distribution center in Wisconsin.

“This project proved to be a perfect demonstration of the 3D milling capabilities,” said Miller. “It’s a relatively small employee parking lot, but with complex slopes and a roundabout. The software automatically adjusted to slopes and roundabout radius at a fairly quick speed.”

The 3D milling workflow is straightfor-

ward, according to Miller. The crew sets up control, shoots the edges, curves and basins and then uploads it to Trimble Business Center to create 3D milling plans and quality and production reports.

Miller especially likes the ability to make in-field decisions, automatically pull measurements and verify ADA compliant slopes ahead of any field production.

“The technology automatically calculates the surface so we’re able to accurately read the profile ahead of time,” said Miller. “It takes the operator’s guesswork out of the equation. Instead of the operator having to gauge mill depth based on experience, the Roadworks solution mills to the design profile within the designated precision. It allows our crews to optimize material quantities that are milled on a site.”

His operators agree. One Rabine operator noted, “This was my first use of the 3D mill

see RABINE page 70

The crew sets up control, shoots the edges, curves and basins and then uploads it to Trimble Business Center to create 3D milling plans and quality and production reports.

Another advantage of the 3D milling system down the road will be the detailed as-built conditions data, especially considering that the company earns much of its work from repeat customers.

technology in the field. For a job like this, this system really shines. It allowed me to complete the job with increased speed, and accuracy.”

Key to that acceptance has been the close working relationship that Rabine has with SITECH Midway. Prior to installation of the platform, SITECH Midway had a large team from Rabine to its office in Elgin to walk through the basics of total station operation and 3D machine control.

“Not only did they introduce us to the key functionality of the platform, but they continue to help us in other ways, such as building profiles, walking the job sites and working closely with the operators to answer questions or troubleshoot,” said Miller.

“We recognize that there’s a learning curve and a milling task might not be as quick as more conventional methods as we adapt, but we’re looking at the big picture. Our job site is much safer because we can reduce ground support near the mill machine pinch points. This technology allows us to address drainage or ADA slopes with greater accuracy, speed, and operational ease, and reduce material quantities so we’re more sustainable. It’s been great.”

Road Ahead

For Rabine, the 3D milling solution is not only a road to efficiency, but an important

element in the contractor’s workforce development efforts.

“Technology allows us to be more competitive because of our increased production,” said Miller. “Even more important is our ability to bring new or less experienced operators up to speed much quicker. We also believe it’s going to attract new talent to our team if they are able to operate and work with the latest and greatest in the industry.”

Another advantage of the 3D milling system down the road will be the detailed asbuilt conditions data, especially considering that the company earns much of its work from repeat customers. Looking forward, Miller added, “If we’ve milled a particular site in the past, we can provide more value to our clients because we already have the surface file that we can reference.”

Miller also believes the Trimble Roadworks milling solution is an important step toward Rabine expanding its services, particularly when it comes to new construction.

“The value of the solution goes beyond the mill,” he said. “I can see us using this system for subgrade or finished grade as a way to guarantee yield and improve quality. Overall, we are certain that this investment is going to pay off in the field, ensuring smooth profiles with minimal waste even in the most complicated lots. 2024 is going to be a big year with 3D milling on our machines.” 

Hitachi’s ZAXIS-7 Series Line of Excavators Built for Comfort

Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas fills out its ZAXIS-7 line of medium and large excavators with the ZX250LC-7, ZX300LC-7, ZX350LC-7, ZX490LC-7, ZX690LC-7 and ZX890LC-7.

Ranging in operating weight from 58,433 to 192,938 lbs., these excavators include upgraded features that enhance operator comfort, visibility, fuel efficiency, durability and productivity.

“The new ZX-7 generation of mid- to large-sized excavators features an array of new features and benefits to exceed the high standards set by our customers. These excavators have been engineered to be straightforward, effective and productive for the operator while providing an extremely high level of comfort,” said Patrick Baker, product manager for medium and large excavators, Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas.

Comfort was a priority when redesigning the operator station. The ZAXIS-7 cab is larger with less vibration and noise for an improved operating experience and reduced operator fatigue. The cab features increased head clearance and leg room with a one-touch adjustable air suspension seat synchronized to move with the console for simplified adjustments. This console features an ergonomic layout with intuitive controls for operator convenience and enhanced visibil ity on the right side of the cab.

Noise has been minimized by increas ing the thickness of the rear glass. A seal has been added between the cab and floor plate. This improves the airtightness of the cab to keep dust out, even when the air conditioner is running. Four fluidfilled elastic cab mounts reduce vibration when traveling.

Panoramic visibility from the opera tor’s seat helps create a safe working environment. Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas takes this a step further with its Aerial Angle peripheral vision camera system. It provides five different camera views from inside the cab on an 8-in. anti-glare LCD monitor, including a wide 270-degree bird’s-eye view of the machine’s immediate envi ronment. The operator can quickly and easily select a view on the monitor that best suits the situation. A rearview cam era allows the operator to see the area right below the counterweight.

Versatility Meets Efficiency

“These excavators showcase next-generation hydraulic systems paired with reliable Isuzu engines to provide increased productivity and reduced fuel consumption. The new ZX-7 excavators are reliable and built to perform in the toughest working conditions,” said Baker.

Models ranging from the ZX130-7 through ZX890LC-7 use a TRIAS III, TRIAS II or HIOS V hydraulic system solu tion, depending on which best matches the exca-

vator’s size and application.

Operators can choose their preferred ISO or SAE control pattern with a two-way pattern change valve that is standard on models from the ZX130-7 through the ZX490LC-7, and a dealer-installed option on the ZX690LC-7 and ZX890LC7. Standard auxiliary piping and relief valves on models ranging from the ZX130-7 to ZX490LC-7 improve operation and help protect the machines while they’re running breaker/hammer attachments. This is a dealer-installed option on the ZX690LC-7 and ZX890LC-7.

Tackle Demanding Applications

“The ZX-7 excavators feature heavy-duty boom and stick configurations designed to handle tough working conditions. Newly strengthened undercarriage components, such as idlers, rollers and improved seals carry long-term reliability,” said Baker.

These excavators feature enhancements to critical components such as a strengthened X beam undercarriage. An antimud-compaction lower roller design helps prevent mud from entering and damaging the oil seals. The upper and lower rollers also feature improved idler sealing. A track undercover protects the joint from potential damage.

Boost Uptime

Tracking maintenance is simplified with the multifunctional monitor. It indicates preset maintenance intervals each time the key is turned on. Engine oil and coolant levels can be checked right from the operator’s seat.

Design enhancements help protect critical components from the environment. An inner element of the engine air filter protects the engine from dust ingress while cleaning the outer element. Even the air conditioner is protected with a sealed internal filter that prevents intrusion of dust into the air conditioner unit.

Using telematic tools to monitor machine health helps boost uptime. ConSite, which remotely monitors operational status and alerts owners and operators to upcoming maintenance needs, is making a leap forward.

A standard feature, ConSite OIL, monitors engine and hydraulic oil conditions to proactively catch issues before any fault codes are triggered in the machine. This helps drive uptime by catching oil degradation before damage to critical systems can occur. This allows operators to focus on the work that needs to be done.

ConSite Air allows the servicing dealer to remotely diagnose issues that may arise, leading to increased uptime. It also allows remote updates of the software. A ConSite response team is on standby to rapidly resolve issues as they

The in-cab monitor controls the Bluetooth radio and allows convenient communication. The operator can listen to music and make hands-free calls from the cab. Long-lasting LED lights provide visibility in challenging conditions.

For convenience, switches have been collectively installed on the right side with easy access to those frequently used. Standard wide wiper blades on models from the ZX210LC-7 to ZX890LC-7 provide enhanced visibility by keeping the front glass clean.

Hitachi photo Models ranging from the ZX130-7 through ZX890LC-7 use a TRIAS III, TRIAS II or HIOS V hydraulic system solution, depending on which best matches the excavator’s size and application.

SIZABLE TASKS SEEM SMALL FROM HERE.

The 316GR and 318G Skid Steers and 317G Compact Track Loader are impressively tough because real-world customers like you helped design them.With your input, we pushed the limits of durability, engine power, and fuel capacity in some pretty big ways. And with fewer grease zerks and extended oil-change intervals compared to earlier models, servicing is even simpler. Including the radial-lift 316GR, these G-Series small frames can take down the biggest jobs — and your operating costs — all at the same time. To learn more, call or visit us today.

Chiefs Share Renovation Plan for GEHA Field at Arrowhead

• Full suite and club lounge renovations and updates will deliver the latest in technology, fixtures and furniture for every existing suite.

IL 61350

• Traditional concession stands will be converted to modern Grab-n-Go markets throughout general concourses, resulting in an anticipated increase in speed of service by 30 to 40 percent and transaction times will decrease with new point-of-sale technology systems.

• Three new pedestrian bridges will eliminate interruptions to vehicular traffic flow, resulting in improved safety and event experience.

• Dedicated rideshare zone promoting a more seamless rideshare experience for football games and concerts while reducing congestion.

• New parking deck on south side of the stadium and expanded parking on north side of the stadium at the current site of Kauffman Stadium increases the total num-

ber of paved parking spots, while reoriented parking lots improve pedestrian flow and the tailgating experience.

• Lot O RV parking lot will be expanded, paved and permanently lit, with permanent restroom facilities being added for the user experience.

“Today is a major milestone in a very long and complex process that has taken place behind the scenes for more than two years,” Mark Donovan, Chiefs president, said. “It is important to recognize the work of our internal team, as well as the team from Populous, who have worked closely on this project from the time that we started reviewing core samples of concrete through today's announcement. There will continue to be many steps, tweaks and updates as we move forward, but we hope Chiefs fans are excited and encouraged by the significant progress and investment that has been made and will continue to be made going forward.”

For more information, visit chiefs.com/stadium. 

Kansas City Chiefs’ rendering New VIP Stadium Entry Points will lead to all-new spaces inside the stadium and will also decrease fan traffic and congestion at existing general admission gates.

Kansas City Chiefs’ rendering New Sideline Clubs will be constructed after excavating under the lower-level seating bowl to create new premium experiences for gamedays and special events.

Superior Construction announced the 11 women selected to take part in its inaugural Superior Women in Construction (SWiC) initiative have graduated from the program.

Designed in collaboration with certified executive and team coach Dale Beaman and featured on the Women Talk Construction podcast, the internal program was developed to identify motivated individuals within the company and remove the barriers these women, and others like them, have faced in their effort to advance in an industry in which they’re chronically underrepresented.

With the full support of company leaders who conceived and initiated the program, SWiC members were offered essential tools for their personal and professional development, including being paired with a mentor from the company’s executive team and senior leadership.

Participants attended monthly group training sessions to learn, grow and share their experiences and individual career coaching sessions to personalize their professional development.

“The mentorship has been especially helpful because it gave me greater access to

various aspects of our company and business operations,” said SWiC member Amy Henningfield, who has been with the company since 2011. “It was collaborative and taught me a lot about the heavy civil industry.”

Henningfield, who was mentored by Superior Chief Operations Officer Pete Kelley, was promoted from executive assistant to Midwest Contracts and Compliance Manager during the year-long program. Three other program members were promoted, and one additional participant moved into a new role that better aligned with her career goals and skills.

“There were also intangible benefits to

participating in the program. It resulted in a great deal of leadership development and helped us build confidence,” said SWiC member Jessica Paske. “At the beginning, a number of participants expressed feelings off self-doubt or imposter syndrome as women in this traditionally male-dominated industry. But, as the program progressed, we grew increasingly confident in our unique skills, perspectives and opportunities to contribute to the next generation of construction professionals.”

As part of the program, SWiC members were encouraged to volunteer with organizations working to advance and empower women in construction. They organized or participated in various events, including:

• Sponsoring the Purdue Women in Construction Management’s annual golf outing, including providing branded polo shirts for the program

• Participating in a nontraditional employment workshop for Porter County Care & Technical Education, introducing 8th grade female students to construction careers

• Sponsoring a Northwest Indiana

Superior’s First Women in Construction Class Graduates

Influential Women Association (NWIIWA) motivational luncheon and a mixer for the NWIIWA’s Influential Women Awards

• Sponsoring polo shirts for the University of North Florida WIC Club and presenting on heavy civil project engineer career paths at a speaking event

• Attending numerous high school and university career fairs to recruit more women

• Participating in a career fair hosted by the PACE Center for Girls

• Speaking at a Job Corps Career Academy event and the American Heart Association’s Women in STEAM event

The nearly year-long program launched on Nov. 2, 2022, and ended with a graduation ceremony on Oct. 12, 2023, at Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla. Each participant received a graduation certificate and is now eligible to mentor the second class of the SWiC program.

Superior’s leaders hope the Superior Women in Construction initiative will become an industry standard and transform mentees into mentors who can continue to advocate for other women in construction.

Winter Not Deterring Crews Working On Turbine Interchanges

interchange is the three braid bridges [two at Penn and 494 and one at 35W and 82nd Street] that eliminate weaving between traffic entering and exiting the ramps.

“The 82nd Street braid bridge [27W50] eliminates weaving between traffic entering northbound 35W from 82nd Street and exiting northbound 35W to 494. Traffic exiting 35W to 494 also is separate from traffic entering northbound 35W from eastbound 494. These two movements currently involve high volumes of traffic weaving over short distances, which leads to congestion and crashes.”

As part of the work, storm sewer pipes and drainage structures will be rebuilt, as well as several stormwater ponds/BMPs to improve water quality and reduce flooding potential on 35W. Some utilities will be relocated, including a sanitary sewer for the city of Richfield. Signing, lighting and intelligent transportation systems also will be upgraded.

Work on the interchange began in summer 2023 and is expected to be complete by fall 2025. Clyne said construction is being performed in phases.

“Reconstructing the entire interchange is a huge job that can’t be done all at once. We need to maintain traffic lanes along 494 and 35W, as well as the two largest ramp movements [northbound to westbound and eastbound to southbound] at all times.”

Regarding traffic conditions, said Clyne, “We have seen moderate increases in congestion throughout the corridor, but most people are adapting well. Dynamic message signs placed throughout the metro area inform travelers of travel times to key locations along 494 and give them alternate routes. Detours are well-marked, so even if some roads or ramps are closed, people are still able to get to their destination without too much hassle.”

C.S. McCrossan serves as the contractor on the project.

“McCrossan was the best value proposer out of three teams who bid on the project,” said Clyne. “They have built many of the projects along 494 over the last 20 years and have a long history of

constructing design-build projects in Minnesota.”

According to Clyne, the two biggest challenges in constructing the interchange are keeping the project on schedule and maintaining traffic through the interchange during construction. Crews also must deal with numerous utilities, along with contaminated soil and groundwater.

Clyne noted that I-35 work is ongoing, even though outdoor conditions make the work more difficult.

“Over the winter, construction slowed down but did not stop. Crews worked on building the abutments of the flyover bridge [27W49], and they set beams in January. They also are widening bridge 6850 [WB 494 over 35W].

The pier and abutments are complete. Crews also are performing pipe jacking for various utilities along 494 and grading for

stormwater BMPs.”

In addition, several areas of temporary pavement and drainage have already been constructed in preparation for staging traffic.

Clyne said construction of the turbine ramp bridge over I-35W required a great deal of planning and coordination.

“Steel circular piles were pounded to a depth of approximately 70 feet for both abutments and the center pier. Then they built forms, set reinforcing steel and poured the concrete footings. Reinforcement continued for the abutments and pier stems, followed again by concrete pours.

A final set of reinforcement and concrete was added for the center pier cap and the wing walls coming off each abutment. Special instrumentation is in place to monitor temperatures of the concrete as the abutment cures and strain/deflection of the piles, as the

Drain tile also is added in specific locations to account for subsurface drainage. Finally, precast concrete panels are added to the front face of the wall, which have a pattern adhering to the visual quality requirements of the project.

After the retaining walls are constructed, the roadway crews can complete grading and paving of the ramps approaching the turbine bridge. Concrete barrier and their supporting slabs also are built at this time.

Despite the cold weather, construction on structures continues throughout the winter; however, work that affects mainline traffic is suspended between midNovember and early April.

abutments are backfilled.

“Precast concrete beams were set in mid-January,” said Clyne. “Crews continued to work over the winter setting forms and placing reinforcing steel for the deck. As soon as temperatures are warm enough in the spring, they will pave the concrete bridge deck and the railings.”

Building retaining walls and grading on either side is a process, starting with a thorough geotechnical investigation and analysis to characterize the existing soils.

“Then the contractor decides what type of retaining walls to build, based on the site conditions and contract requirements regarding drainage, utilities, geometry and other considerations. The four walls adjacent to the 27W49 turbine bridge are all Mechanically Stabilized Earth [MSE] walls. Then the roadway engineer designs the alignment and profile of the walls, followed by the actual wall design by a structural engineer.

“After all these steps, the plans finally make it out to construction. A preload surcharge will be added in one area to address settlement concerns over soft soils. The contractor surveys and stakes the specific locations of the walls and excavates to the proper elevation. Then they build forms, set reinforcing steel and pour the concrete spread footing. The MSE wall is built in several alternating lifts of granular material and geotextile reinforcement straps all the way up to the top.”

“You can’t place water and compact grading materials on frozen ground,” said Clyne. “It snows a lot in Minnesota and covers the ground. Daylight hours are limited. Crews don’t like to work in cold weather, and efficiency is limited.

Between 300,000 and 400,000 cu. yds. of dirt will be moved on the I-35 portion of the I-494 project. Heavy equipment required to complete the highway project includes cranes, backhoes, dozers, rollers, blades, trimmers, asphalt and concrete pavers, vac trucks, curb machines, median barrier machines and bridge pavers.

Main materials include sand/granular material from local pits, aggregate base made on site from recycled concrete and bituminous pavement, new concrete and bituminous pavement, precast concrete bridge beams, cast in place and MSE (using geosynthetic reinforcement) retaining walls, precast concrete noise walls, precast concrete pipe and drainage structures, signal systems, overhead signs, dynamic message signs, cabling and electronics.

MnDOT communications coordinator Jesse Johnson said that while the majority of construction has yet to be carried out, the hours invested will be time well spent.

“It is always enjoyable to work on a project that offers safety benefits, while also improving the travel experience of everyone who uses the road. It’s nice to be on a project that, once completed, will impact the lives of so many people in a positive way.”  CEG

Associations Support of States Challenging GHG Rules

The rule charges state DOTs with setting and reporting on statewide emission reduction targets at two- and four-year intervals.

As ARTBA explained, states must set initial targets by spring, with subsequent targets due by Oct. 1, 2026.

“Those states failing to meet these goals must submit updated plans outlining actions to achieve them,” ARTBA told member contractors.

Attorneys general from 22 states sued the agency in Kentucky Federal District Court in December. Both ARTBA and AGC maintain Congress intentionally excluded GHGrelated provisions from the IIJA.

The jobs bill’s path through Congress shows both houses deliberately removed greenhouse gas provisions that had appeared in earlier versions. In commenting on the FHWA rule back in 2022, ARTBA argued states should make their own decisions on GHG measurements.

The association reported that court decisions are expected at the end of March.

Challenging Diversion

“Every state has its climate challenges, and ought to have the data, funding and flexibility it needs to meet those challenges head on,” said Pete Buttigieg, transportation secretary. “This new performance measure will provide states with a clear and consistent framework to track carbon pollution.”

He said the measure also would offer states the flexibility to set their own climate targets. The fed would help states meet this measure with $27 billion-plus in federal funding through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. AGC believes the Biden administration lacks the statutory authority to issue this rule because Congress repeatedly debated and rejected the effort.

The association told members it disagrees with FHWA’s stand that there are no explicit penalties set in the rule. The rule reads that states that fail to meet quotas must “provide data-supported explanations for not achieving significant progress,” reiterated AGC. States also will have to explain to FHWA how they will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. That, stated AGC, could mean investing in buses, Amtrak trains and electric vehicle charging stations at the expense of road and bridge projects.

“AGC has extensively covered this issue for the last few years and has led coalition efforts to block the rule from taking effect,” members were told

In 2023, the association successfully tackled Supreme Court cases advocating for the construction industry. AGC urged members

lishing/implementing USDOT’s National Highway Performance Program.

the complainants said many of these reduction moves are not practical.

to voice their opposition to this mandate directly to the president and their congressional representatives.

“Tell [them] to block FHWA’s GHG rule that will force states to spend their highway funds … to pay for non-construction initiatives.”

In their lawsuits, the 22 states said only Congress is authorized to advance GHG rules. States said the actions of the president and FHWA violate the law. They accused Biden of “unconstitutionally ramming” a radical climate agenda.

The lawsuit states that this agenda is being forced through administrative agencies that lack congressional authority to implement such actions.

“We will not stand by while this administration attempts to circumvent the legislative process,” said Daniel Cameron, exKentucky AG.

According to a Transportation Topics article, the consortium of states sued the DOT, FHWA and officials over a series of actions, including:

• Biden for signing executive orders … making lowering carbon emissions a “national priority.”

• FHWA Administrator Shailen Bhatt for carrying out prescribed FHWA duties.

• DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg for estab-

The states believe DOT and FHWA tied 2022 proposed state GHG rules to reduce emissions to Biden’s target of net-zero emissions, economywide, by 2050.

Looking at past fed filings, states claim there is no National Highway Performance Program law requiring the agencies to adopt a GHG measure. They believe federal law encourages state DOTs “to consider a variety of ways to incorporate environmental considerations under their existing authority.”

According to ttnews.com, the states referred to multiple deadlines and emission requirements they must now achieve. This, on top of a new GHG performance standard added to FHWA, measures evaluating how states perform in the National Highway System. For instance, states must demonstrate declining emissions thresholds that phase out new internal combustion engine passenger cars by 2035. They also must demonstrate plans for ending unabated coal and oil power plants by 2040.

“Most Americans still drive internal combustion engine passenger cars, and … are not ready for the wholesale switch to electric vehicles,” the states claimed. “Coal still provides almost 20 percent of electricity … and provides over half of the electricity in eight states, including several of the plaintiff states.”

Stressing that states with fewer urban centers have a harder time reducing emissions,

“Congestion pricing, road pricing, ramp metering, increased coordination with transit and non-motorized improvements, paying fees to scrap low-mileage heavy-duty vehicles are options more conducive to metropolitan areas, not rural ones,” the coalition argued.

They also maintain rural drivers travel long distances “often in heavy-duty vehicles required for business or agriculture or because they need to be able to maneuver effectively in inclement weather and through altitude changes.”

The complainants believe the distance and terrain in rural states also make nonmotorized and electric options impractical.

The lawsuit claims states also will face economic implications and financial burdens.

The fed estimated that the final emissions rule will cost up to $12.7 million for the first 10 years of implementation, according to ttnews.com.

Raúl Labrador, Idaho AG, said his state is pursuing more than 700 NHS improvement projects.

“The federal government demanding a reduction in vehicle miles traveled is ridiculous,” he said. “States simply cannot be forced to implement the policy whims of a federal government and the Constitution is clear about this.”

The FHWA mandate, which requires states to set and report on emission reduction targets for two- and four-year intervals, are considered overreach by many in the construction industry.

AGC believes the mandate could mean states must invest in buses, Amtrak trains and electric vehicle charging stations at the expense of road and bridge projects.

Association Hopes for Greenhouse Gas Rule Repeal

Another objection, from Montana AG Austin Knudsen, said the one-size-fits-all approach might work for the Washington, D.C., but not in his state. Knudsen believes the emissions reg will “disproportionately” harm states with more rural areas.

Ashley Moody, Florida AG, noted states are required to set arbitrary targets for reduced CO2 emissions, to track progress and report to the fed goal progress.

“This rule forces states to spend an inordinate amount of time, resources and money with no clear guidance for what success looks like,” she said.

Throwing a Monkey Wrench

In early February, two congressmen introduced AGC-supported legislation that would repeal the GHG rulemaking.

Kevin Cramer of North Dakota and Rick Crawford of Arkansas initiated a resolution of disapproval to “illustrate Congress’ objection to this federal overreach.”

They consider “most galling” the Biden administration’s implementation of the rule despite having no statutory authority to do so.

“This is the heavy hand of the federal gov-

ernment run amok,” said Crawford, chairman of the House highways and transit subcommittee. “The absence of a prohibition is not a license, and yet the Biden administration pushed this illegal and unfeasible regulation anyway,” said Cramer. “New York and North Dakota have very different transportation systems, needs and capabilities, but … they’re effectively treated the same.”

He added, “a subway stop at a cattle ranch is silly and unserious, and so is the idea of widespread EV use in North Dakota.”

Cramer noted nearly half the Senate cosponsored this resolution from the onset, showing strong push for the rule’s defeat. Cramer is ranking member of the Senate environment and public works subcommittee on transportation and infrastructure.

Congress considered and rejected including a GHG performance measure requirement during IIJA negotiations, noted Sam Graves of Missouri. Graves, who chairs the House transportation and infrastructure committee, said the Biden administration needs to implement the law that was written.

Shelly Capito of West Virginia claimed

Biden is “blatantly” neglecting the letter of a bipartisan law he signed himself. She said the rule hamstrings states’ transportation planning priorities and jeopardizes critical investments, jobs and economic growth across the country.

“When we negotiated the bipartisan IIJA, we specifically left out the authority FHWA is attempting to exercise.”

Cramer and Crawford said Congress has not provided DOT with any statutory authority to implement this proposal.

“Additionally, the agency’s proposal is not workable, as illustrated by comments from a majority of state DOTs and AGs.”

In penning their objections to the rules,

construction industry associations said they support congressional efforts to halt the GHG regulation. The coalition believes regulatory overreach outside the bounds of the IIJA has the potential to limit improvements to our infrastructure.

Congress ultimately excluded from the 2021 law because the provision lacked sufficient congressional support.

“While a previous administration considered a similar GHG performance rule, the agency later determined that the rule exceeded its statutory authority … and was not required by law.”

To be clear, they noted, the statutory language around performance measures has not changed since the 2012 enactment of MAP21.

“We believe FHWA lacks the statutory authority to create a greenhouse gas performance measure, and therefore, support any and all congressional efforts to block this rule’s implementation.”

Besides AGC and ARTBA, that industry group included the ACPA, AHUA, AED, AEM, CRSI, NAPA, NPCA and the American Trucking Associations, among many others.  CEG

Chevron Introduces Rykon to Grease Line

Chevron announced the introduction of Rykon, a new overbased calcium sulfonate complex grease, to its recently refreshed line of products. Rykon answers the call for a highperformance grease that increases uptime and helps enhance durability for the next generation of equipment.

With its unique formulation, Rykon will round out Chevron’s grease offering with a grease formulated for heavy-duty and extreme pressure applications. This calcium sulfonate complex-based grease also provides an alternative option to lithium-based thickeners, which have become widely expensive due to rising global demand.

Rykon is designed to help increase equipment longevity, extend lubrication intervals and reduce the total cost of equipment ownership. The overbased calcium sulfonate complex grease delivers outstanding oxidation and thermal stability with superior water performance to protect equipment from failures and downtime. Rykon also meets the demands of high pressure and shock loads, providing excellent wear protection under heavy loads and in high ambient temperatures.

The introduction of Rykon into the market is a testament to Chevron’s commitment to continuous improvement, delivering products that help people do their jobs better, the company said. In addition, Rykon also will feature the new grease branding and packaging, part of a recent brand refresh for Chevron’s grease portfolio announced in March 2023.
