Fecon Inc. Supports Vegetation Management Seminar by Reuben Smith of Countryside YMCA. More than 30 attendees were shown effective methods for removing non-native and invasive honeysuckle that thrives in Ohio. Attendees also were educated on how honeysuckle can choke out native vegetation, and have a potentially huge impact on migrating bird populations due to the reduction in availability of native food sources, according to the Ohio DNR. Honeysuckle can grow up to 20 ft. tall with multiple 3 to 5 in. diameter stems. Goldbach explained how the Bull Hog mulcher effectively removes the honeysuckle by safely cutting it into a carpet of mulch. Residents also were informed that Warren County SWCD rents its Bull Hog out at a rate of $40/hr, to enable land owners to cost-effectively improve the environmental health of their properties.

A honeysuckle removal demonstration project was offered on March 23, at the Countryside YMCA featuring the Bull Hog mulcher, manufactured by Fecon, Inc. “Fecon is proud to support the community and environment by participating in projects like this,” said Dennis Goldbach of Fecon. “It was a great opportunity to partner with the local YMCA, and the Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District, whose Bull Hog was used A honeysuckle removal demonstration project was offered on March 23, at for the demonstration.” the Countryside YMCA featuring the Bull Hog mulcher, manufactured by The free seminar was hosted in Lebanon, Ohio, Fecon, Inc.

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) recently launched a new Web site designed to provide motorists with real-time travel information using state-of-the-art technology on Ohio’s roadways. Ohgo.com was developed for multiple user platforms including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers. The purpose is to provide the latest traveler information to help motorists get to where they are going safer, faster, and easier than ever before. “The price we pay for sitting in traffic is significant. It’s time away from our families and money spent on wasted fuel,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “Ohgo.com will allow motorists to log on, look for traffic tie-ups and pick the best route — saving both time and money.” Ohgo.com is interactive and will allow users to get up-tothe-minute travel information about: • Current highway traffic speeds • Traffic accidents, slowdowns, and tie-ups • Travel times from one location to another • Road construction, closures and delays • Traffic cameras to view current travel conditions, as they happen • Winter road conditions available from November through April each season Future updates to Ohgo.com may allow motorists to map their daily commute and receive electronic updates when accidents, slowdowns or closures occur. No timeframe is set for the launch of future updates at this time. Ohgo.com is more user-friendly and officially replaces BuckeyeTraffic.org.

Buric Global Expands to Include Owner Representation To help clients better manage their construction projects from ideation to occupancy, Buric Global is expanding its services to include owner representation. Joseph M. “Joe” Kapitan, has been promoted to senior project consultant at Buric Global and will head the new service. In the field of construction, an owner’s representative is exactly that — someone who works on the owner’s behalf to manage building projects from their initial planning to occupancy. On any given project, an owner’s representative will oversee design, planning, bidding, contract management and construction execution — ensuring that processes and plans meet anticipated budgets and schedules.

“As construction becomes more complicated, many owners find themselves challenged to provide the in-house resources or knowledge needed to successfully manage and complete their capital projects,” said Janet H. Zollinger, chief executive officer of Buric Global. “Instead of hiring internal construction management experts — which, in itself, may be outside their comfort zone — owners can outsource that responsibility to us at Buric Global, which has a proven track record of delivering projects on time and on budget.” Kapitan is a construction management executive with more than 25 years of professional experience serving in the roles of construction manager, general contractor, architect and owner’s representative. A registered architect, Kapitan is

a member of both the American Institute of Architects and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. A member of the Buric Global team since 2006, Kapitan holds a master’s degree in management from the University of Arkansas and a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Notre Dame. Owner representation is just the latest way Buric Global continues to deliver unprecedented transparency and collaboration on capital projects. Representing a proactive and entirely different approach to construction, Buric Global has been tested in a real-world laboratory on $1.4 billion worth of construction — and delivered each project on time, on budget and with no claims or litigation. With its knowledgeable experts employing cutting-edge technologies — which include life-cycle Building Information Modeling (BIM), advanced Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, and 4D scheduling — Buric Global helps eradicate construction-related problems virtually before they occur in the field, according ot the company. Buric Global includes a web-based, real-time dashboard that allows its experts to share proprietary intelligence and analyses along with databases, documents and other project control information.
