There are few machine operators as dedicated to construction operations as Kevin Drennan. He still owns the first Tonka truck he ever played with. He has a tattoo of his favorite Caterpillar dozer down one arm. It is not easy naming Drennan’s favorite Cat as he is an expert on all of them going back a century. Drennan, not yet 31, learned the trade through family who were in construction, the Army and served as firefighters. He started learning machinery at age seven, running a Cat 245 with hammer from 1978 on, and a D4C. “I got into construction thanks to my grandmother who owns Brustin Realty in Massachusetts. There was large construction [then], so I was on site on my days off from Drennan poses with the 1943 Cat D4 dozer he is restoring. school. I come from a long line of construction workers.

Old Cats Have Nine Lives Thanks to Kevin Drennan

“I have a 1943 Caterpillar D4, a regular dozer,” said Drennan. “I found mine in Oakham, Massachusetts. I actually brought her to a show this year and premiered her, even though I was in the middle of a restore.”

Drennan started learning machinery at age seven, running a Cat 245 with hammer from 1978 on, and a D4C. CATS from page 1

more. The company has been around for more than 20 years,” he added. “It’s all a family company, father and son owners.” “I also do stuff for myself with a friend. The best work I have done is demo. I obtained a lot of knowledge from a guy named Dave Philips of LRC Development Services, which is closed now due to his health. A great guy and my mentor,” he added. “I have been in the trade for more than 20 years. I recommend anyone coming into this business, going for ownership of a small company, to get every license you can — 1a, 2b, hoisting licenses, hazmat, and fork lift licenses, because that’s a new law that just passed in Massachusetts to operate a quick coupler. “Don’t stress out much. If it is in your blood, you are good. If not, it’s going to be hard,” he stressed to those who would enter this field. Cats at the Rockbusters The Northeast Rockbuster Chapter of the Historical Construction Equipment Association started in 1998. Drennan joined in 2009. “We show off old equipment that built America, and went through the war. We teach people knowledge of them, or anything they ask. We appear at shows with machines on a trailer. We sell books, clothes and more,” said Drennan. “My vintage toy is a 43 Cat d4 cable dozer that was in World War II and appears on YouTube, Facebook, bostonpowercat.com, and other places. I have been restoring her for more than a year. “I loved Cats my whole life. I ran them all. I know the history of Caterpillar. I also collect scale models. I have about 380 models and growing,” he added. Drennan has learned the inner workings of dozens of machines, how to fix them, how to make them hum. He simply loves listening to the 345 Cat excavator with hammer banging away, feeling the vibrations, hearing the 972G Cat loader running beside him, loading trucks and keeping his “spot” clean. “One time, I stayed late with owner Dave Philips to demo a few homes to make way for a Walgreen’s. That was a great job,” added Drennan. The “heavy” friendships he has made across New England and even across the Pond to Wales in the U.K. through his love of Cats, has been nothing less than astonishing. “My favorite Rockbuster guy is Paul Jenkins. He is a Lexington cop and a father figure to me. Another is the pres-

ident, Kevin Maguire. There are too many to list. They are all awesome. They help me and I help them,” he said. “The guy from the U.K. is also a good buddy. I have been doing this for the last several months for him. They want to know about Cats over there, too,” he said. “When I joined RockBusters in 2009, I had a 1957 Caterpillar D2. I fixed it up and ran it until the engine blew. The one I have now is a 1943 Caterpillar D4, a regular dozer. I found mine in Oakham, Massachusetts. I actually brought her to a show this year and premiered her, even though I was in the middle of a restore.” In August, Drennan and his board set up an event for the N.E. Chapter of The Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA), a non-profit organization which is dedicated to historical preservation for public education regarding the history of construction, dredging and surface mining industries. The organization has a dedicated museum which not only houses vintage machinery from the 1800s to the 1960s (some of which are extremely rare), but also is home to a massive library of literature, sales brochures and photographs all relating to the construction and mining industry and all available for research purposes. The great thing about the HCEA is that they do not specialize in one era or type of equipment. They cover anything and everything related to construction, dredging and surface mining industries without prejudice. The HCEA contains Chapters which serve to unite members locally, and are spread across the United States. Chapter members meet up on a regular basis, usually in a member’s home or shop. The Chapters have their own public construction shows where antique machinery of all types and sizes gather and can be seen “working” during the event. The North East Rockbusters Chapter covers Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Drennan’s group recently held its annual show, which hosted an amazing array of antique machinery and was a great opportunity to see the machines digging, working and hauling in the display area. The massive show took place over three days in

Old vs. New An avid Instagram user, he posted great and varied content from the world of construction. Drennan is becoming a “must follow” in the world of social media and goes by the user name of “catmack316,” the same name of his large YouTube channel with its 150-plus video uploads covering all sorts of construction equipment and that massive scale model collection. “What fascinates me is comparing the old technology to today,” said Drennan. “They looked awesome. They still run. I have got that ’43 still going strong. The operators are lazier today. The machines today have radio, AC. Those old machines never did. “Your AC was the open air and the heat was from the motor. They had different hand cranks, brakes and all that fun stuff, so you have to work harder with those machines. You became a real man at that point. It separated the men from the boys,” said Drennan. “I have two motors on the ’43; a Pony, or pup, motor to start and engage the diesel motor. You have to kick that in to warm up the antifreeze on the dozer to help it start. The sounds are awesome. You can smell the diesel first thing in the morning when they fire up. “I had to put a new Pony motor in, bang out dents, gave it a new paint job and sanded it, pretty much replacing everything as I go — new battery, new terminals, new lights,” added Drennan. “I was fascinated with machines since I was two. I still have my original Tonka truck. I do diarama models with my construction models. People call me a kid; they say it is ridiculous. But I don’t spend money on alcohol or drugs and it keeps me out of trouble and my wife fully supports it. “I had a hard road. I have a learning disability and ADHD, so that took a lot out of me; that was a hard road in this field,” said Drennan. “But I help elderly people on the side of the road. I never charge them. I just do what I can.” For more information, find Kevin Drennan on Facebook, YouTube or go to www.bostonpowercat.com.

With the addition of milling in-house, the company estimates it will increase its bottom-line significantly and provide 25- to 35-percent more capacity in production.

The challenge for the three-man milling crew was to quickly complete its task in each production phase so that asphalt-paving crew could follow.

U.S. Pavement Services Inc. Now Has Milling Capabilities By Jeff Winke SPECIAL TO CEG

Since its inception in 1985, U.S. Pavement Services Inc., Woburn, Mass., has experienced significant business milestones that occurred at ten-year intervals. At first, Mike Musto, the founder/owner, focused on asphalt pavement sealcoating. His business of applying sealcoating grew by helping customers to prevent asphalt cracks, imperfections and the premature asphalt repairs. In 1995, U.S. Pavement added asphalt paving to its services, leading to a move into heavier paving work. In 2005, the company created a network of other In 2015, U.S. Pavement Services added milling to its menu of services. paving companies to provide participants with a powerful marketing tool as well as greater business depth and buying U.S. Pavement won the bid to refurbish the requires full-depth 4 in.

and high quality because we couldn’t afford any extra time for rework,” Garvey said. “Because we needed to complete the Somerville lot in four sections in order to keep the store’s customers happy, we realized how beneficial it is to have milling in house and under our control.” Musto estimated that the costs of the milling portion of the Somerville Target parking lot rehab would be 20-percent higher if they had subcontracted the milling like they used to do. Additionally, “it would have been a scheduling headache with the sub because of the mill-pave-millpave production flow we needed to accommodate the store and its customers.” U.S. Pavement Services attributes much of the ease in which it has adopted asphalt milling as a new, profitable service to several things: • Brand new equipment, which has technology making it easy to learn and operate. • Attentive training and support from the equipment manufacturer and its field rep. • The Roadtec RX-600e controls are referred to as simplified controls designed to be operated with one hand from either side of the platform. “I’ll remember the Somerville Target project as being a great well-oiled machine with our crews milling and paving simultaneously and shoppers coming in and leaving the store without a problem,” Musto reflected. “It was like watching a championship team execute that perfect, game-winning play.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

South Coast Improvement Company (SCI), a design-build general contractor serving New England and the MidAtlantic states, recently hired Sean Cahill as a construction site supervisor. Cahill comes to the Marion, Mass.-based contractor after serving as a sales manager at Cape Cod Lumber. In his role as supervisor, Cahill will manage construction crews on SCI new construction and renovations projects. Since being hired in July, Cahill has worked on SCI projects for New Hope Village in Walpole, Mass., and Brookdale River Bay Club in Quincy. “With his background in building materials, sales and management, Sean brings an invaluable set of skills to the table and he’s a fine example of the talent we have on staff at South Coast Improvement,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement Inc. Cahill began in the building materials sales in 1993. In addition to Cape Cod Lumber, he worked at Harvey Industries and Norandex. “Making a bit of career change like this is a little unnerving but it’s gone very well so far. Everyone at SCI is very easy to work with,” said Cahill. “Our business may be construction, but we really are in the service industry and that’s where my background in sales management really comes in handy. At the end of the day, it’s really about managing personalities and working with people.” For more information,

Connecticut Plans to Replace Outdated, Aging Plow Trucks HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Connecticut’s Department of Transportation is replacing 114 of its aging plow trucks with new vehicles in preparation for the upcoming winter season. The agency has a snow and ice fleet consisting of 632 trucks. DOT said 275 have been identified as overdue for replacement. State officials said they plan to retire 114 of the outdated trucks as the new ones are delivered. While the average life of a typical snow plow truck is 12 years, state officials said

those being replaced average about 16 years. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said the state is “preparing for winter weather like never before.” DOT is currently stockpiling salt and liquid deicers and installing longer-wear plow blades. DOT also is adding two trucks dedicated to the CTfastrak bus-only lane between Hartford and New Britain.

Rhode Island DOT to Create Three New High-Paying Jobs PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Public concerns are being raised about the Rhode Island Department of Transportation’s proposal to create three high-paying jobs as part of a reorganization plan. Grant Dugarian, the owner of a Providence clothing business, called it “troubling” that DOT was seeking to create chief of staff, communications director and policy director positions. Two of the jobs could pay as much as $112,643 a year, while the chief of staff position could pay as much as $131,715 annually. The Providence Journal

(http://bit.ly/1QD6sI8) reported Dugarian questioned the cost at a public hearing held Friday. A number of former DOT employees have played the role of chief of staff, but their titles did not exactly match. Gov. Gina Raimondo announced in late September an overhaul of the state’s transportation bureaucracy, which she called “dysfunctional.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
