Celebrating Erie Canal’s Bicentennial…24

By Eric Olson

Anyone who has ever visited the North Carolina Zoo, located in the center of the state south of Asheboro, has experienced the oftenmaddening summertime traffic around the massive park. With more than 700,000 visiting the zoo each year, it is the Tarheel State’s most popular tourist attraction. That means that zoo visitors coming from the east or west, in particular along U.S. Highway 64, must contend with a seemingly endless string of stoplights before reaching Zoo Parkway, a two-lane road that takes them south to the attraction. Located southeast of Asheboro, the open-air North Carolina Zoological Park is the largest walk-through, natural-habitat zoo in the world at more CEG CORRESPONDENT

than 2,000 acres. It is home to more than 1,600 animals, with most of its 250 species of fauna being native to Africa and North America. The large number of people coming to see those animals has helped spur the commercial growth of Asheboro along U.S. 64, leading to the current traffic problems for residents and visitors alike. Now, in an effort to reduce congestion and improve the traffic flow on U.S. 64, the North Carolina DOT is working with a joint venture made up of two general contractors to design-build the $244 million U.S. 64 Asheboro Bypass. The consortium includes Greensboro’s Thompson-Arthur Paving and Construction (APAC), a division of APAC-Atlantic Inc.; and Wright see ZOO page 74

Brand-New Bell Trucks Put in Heavy-Duty Hours at Quarries By Eric Olson CEG CORRESPONDENT

Hauling rock out of a quarry is about as heavy-duty as any job can get. The people that do it have to be tough and stay sharp for hours each day both to stay safe and to keep the material moving. But they also cannot accomplish their task successfully without the right kind of equipment. Mining and hauling demands stout and reliable machinery. It is hugely important, too, that material hauling be done efficiently to keep fuel costs low for the company moving the rock out of the pit. Ray Lambert did a lot of research before he found a new truck that met all these criteria and, so far, he has been very pleased with the results. Lambert operates Lambert Sand & Gravel Co. in McDonough, Ga., just south of Atlanta. Currently, his firm is working as a subcontractor for Vulcan Materials to haul overburden out of its Stockbridge, Ga., quarry. To help him with the decision on which truck to purchase, Lambert turned to the professionals at Central Atlanta Tractor, based in nearby Austell, Ga. The full-service dealership was founded in 1995 by Charles Spooner and is now operated by his son, Chuck. In the end, Lambert this year chose the Bell B50E off-road truck, a brand-new model on the market — so new that his B50E was the very first of its kind sold in the United States market. In addition, Vulcan Materials bought a Bell B60E this spring for use at its Dalton quarry in northwest Georgia — also from Central Atlanta Tractor. That machine was the first one sold by Bell Trucks east of the Mississippi River and the fourth sold overall in the country. The huge B60E, owned by Vulcan, also is the first model delivered to a quarry and the first used in the aggregates business. Reliability, Efficiency Needed The job of moving overburden from a pit is one that is a bit more complicated than it sounds. “In our line of work, you are always going to burn a lot of fuel,”

Lambert said recently from the Stockbridge quarry site. “We’re climbing out of a hole and we have got about a 1.4-mile round turn. To do it, we have to stop, make a 160degree turn and then start back up a hill again. We are under a full load probably about 30 percent of our run, meaning we are going to be on the high end of our fuel burn — approximately 10 gallons per hour.” His operators are also working close to 12 hours a day, five days a week to pull hundreds of thousands of yards of rock out of the quarry to reach the valuable blue granite underneath. That type of hard, continuous labor is a true test of a machine’s brawn and resiliency, Lambert said. He said the trucks he uses

have to withstand “a pretty severe application.” Lambert had previously used smaller trucks that gave him adequate production and economy. But when he felt he needed an upgrade, he carefully read and studied the specs on the Bell 50ton. He immediately saw several things that impressed him, such as the horsepower to weight ratio, the bed size, the automatic lube system and, most especially, the new Allison transmission. “One of the reasons that I even considered this truck was because the new ones are running an Allison transmission — obviously American made and one that has higher capacity with seven speeds,” he said. “I also liked the higher performance and great design of the Mercedes-Benz engine.” Those specs and his watching the equipment in action have told him that the 50-ton truck is a great niche machine. “We have to be extremely efficient in our work,” he said. “We saw that the 45-ton trucks are tirelimited because most people run

them with a 29.5-25 tire, which is the maximum size truck you can run on that tire. Bell, however, went to an 875/65 R29, which is a completely new tire design with a higher capacity, meaning that you cannot have a true 50-ton truck using the other tire. The Bell really is the first true 50-ton truck.” As far as capacity and cost, the Bell B50E is adding about 4 ½ to 5 yds more per load than the older trucks Lambert used, while keeping operating costs level. “When you are paying the driver the same amount as before, that is really what you want,” he said. “It especially shows up on these really long round turns and we have about a 12½-minute round turn right now. If it doesn’t cost any more to have that much more on the truck it actually can be a game changer.” Not to be overlooked is how operator-friendly the Bell trucks are. “When the operator comes out of the truck at the end of the day and looks like a hundred miles of bad road, then you obviously have see BELL page 70

Logistics Center to Serve Needs Driven by Charleston Port

Dominion Gets Permit for Power Transmission Line Near Jamestown By Sarah Rankin ASSOCIATED PRESS

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has granted Dominion Energy a final permit to proceed with a towering power transmission line above the James River in Virginia, a project opponents have said will blight the views in one of the country’s most historic areas. The utility has said its Surry-Skiffes Creek transmission line near Jamestown is urgently needed to provide reliable electric service to Virginia’s peninsula region, where two coal-fired power units were recently retired. The project, already approved by state regulators, will include a 500kilovolt portion that will cross approximately 4 mi. of the James River lofted by 17 towers, some rising as high as 295 ft. The line will traverse the James within Virginia’s Historic Triangle, a concentration of attractions that date to the nation’s founding. Besides Jamestown, founded in 1607, the region includes Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Carter’s Grove, a Colonial-era plantation. “It is extremely disappointing that the Army Corps has agreed to let this destructive project move forward. These transmission towers, many the size of the Statue of Liberty, would deface a landscape that has stood for 400 years,’’ Theresa Pierno, president and CEO of the National Parks Conservation Association, said in a statement.

Ridge, the industrial development arm of Transwestern Development Co., announced it has broken ground on a 63-acre site at Interstate 26 and Jedburg Road in Jedburg, S.C., approximately 30 mi. northwest of Charleston. The site will house a total of 686,300 sq. ft. of speculative industrial space in Charleston Logistics Center. The two state-of-the-art industrial buildings are slated for delivery beginning first quarter 2018. “Charleston is ramping up for significant growth in the industrial market, driven by the Port of Charleston and corporate expansions that have added 8,000 jobs in the region,” said Steve Kros, executive vice president of Ridge. “The market is served by a single interstate, creating a scarcity of functional sites for industrial development. Charleston Logistics Center will stand out among competing parks due to its superior access to I-26 for truck transportation as well as employees.” The two Class A buildings are designed for multitenant use. Each rear-load building will encompass 343,150 sq. ft., 32-ft. clear height, 54-by-48-ft. column spacing, 60-ft. staging bay, ESFR, 64 dock doors, two drive-in doors, 202 car parking spaces and 76 truck parking spaces. Collier’s Simons Johnson and Peter Fennelly are leasing the project. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

U.S. Army Corps to Repair Levee Holes

The conservation association is among numerous other preservation and environmental groups that oppose the project. “We will continue to fight to protect historic Jamestown and are considering all options, including legal action,’’ Pierno said. Company spokeswoman Le-Ha Anderson said Dominion carefully considered where the line would cross the James River to reduce impacts on views and the environment. The area also has views of a theme park, a sewage plant, condominiums and other commercial facilities, she said. The company also pledged about $90 million in mitigation measures, including land conservation, shoreline protection and environmental initiatives in an agreement reached with the state, the Army Corps and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The Army Corps’ sign-off means the only outstanding regulatory hurdle for the project is a county-level special use permit for a switching station. The James City County board of supervisors was expected to take that up at a meeting in mid July, Anderson said. The Corps permit also allows the company to start construction in all areas except the switching station once the agreed-to mitigation measures are met, she said. The project is expected to take 18 to 20 months to complete.

POCAHONTAS, Ark. (AP) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials are expected to begin repairing nine sections of a levee along the Black River in northeast Arkansas that was damaged by floods in May. Emergency workers are making plans to cover the holes in case of torrential rains such as the ones in May that caused record river levels in Pocahontas, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. “We’re looking, if we have another flood event, to come in and do some quick construction work on the levee,’’ said Jim Marple, the Corps’ emergency management planner in Little Rock. Plans include installing meshed “baskets’’ in the holes and filling them with soil, sand and rocks to stop flooding. Running Water Levee District member Don Cox said the cost to repair the levee is estimated to be about $2 million. Marple said the Corps was expected to bid the project in the summer. He said construction could begin in January or February. In the last nine years, the levee system has broken three times. In 2008 and 2011, the levee broke and flooded thousands of acres of farmland south of Pocahontas. The Running Water Levee District was established after the 2008 flood. The district initiated a property tax in 2010 to put toward levee repairs. The levee system was built in 1939 to protect farmland along the Black River.

Pensacola Hopes Arena Plans Will Attract NBA Team PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) Mayor Ashton Hayward said the city is in the early planning stages on a new arena if it can attract a basketball team. Hayward told the News Journal that plans to build the new arena are contingent on the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans selecting the city for its G League team. The G League is the developmental league for the NBA. Hayward also said a public-private partnership to finance construction is being considered. The arena would replace the Bay Center, which opened in 1985. Michael Capps, assistant general manager of the Bay Center, said the team could play at the arena but renovations that would cost $570,000 to $1.8 million would be needed. The Bay Center already hosts a minor-league hockey team and other local events. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

N.C. Goes to Court to Get Property for Coastal Bridge COROLLA, N.C. (AP) North Carolina has gone to court to condemn property it wants to use for a bridge that would make it easier to get to the northern Outer Banks. The Daily Advance of Elizabeth City reported the state Transportation Department wants the property located off N.C. Highway 12 for the Mid-Currituck Bridge. Drivers would pay a toll to cross the bridge, which would connect the Currituck mainland with the county’s Outer Banks. DOT filed a condemnation complaint in June, citing a public need for the property on the Corolla side of the proposed bridge. Prem Gupta is the agent of CS Land Holding and the chief financial officer of SAGA Construction, which he says own the property. He declined to say how much DOT offered but says the two companies disagree with it.

AFEX Fire Suppression Systems Protect Tier IV Equipment AFEX pioneered automatic fire suppression systems in the late 1960’s in response to the fire risks associated with timber harvesting equipment in the Southeastern United States. Today, AFEX systems can be found on all seven continents protecting equipment in all heavy industries including waste handling, mining, oil and gas and steel. AFEX’s sole focus is vehicle systems. As such, the systems are designed with vehicles in mind from the ground up. This specialist position enables AFEX to stay abreast of changes in the industry, and to be the first to respond to the needs of equipment owners and operators. One such recent advancement is the introduction of dual agent systems to address the increased fire risks present on machines equipped with Tier IV engines. AFEX dual agent systems maximize protection by applying both dry and liquid firefighting agents to specific hazard areas. The dry chemical agent provides fast fire knockdown and protects a large volume of space. Meanwhile the liquid agent targets hot surfaces, such as Tier IV after treatment components, turbos and exhausts, to provide cooling and additional fire suppression performance. New machines also are using compact designs and non-metal construction materials to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency. AFEX dual agent systems are exceptional for addressing these challenges as well because they typically utilize a lesser number of smaller, lighter agent tanks than a

comparable liquid-only system for the same machine. Of course, the larger the system the higher the cost, so AFEX dual agent systems are not only more space efficient, they’re also more cost efficient than liquid-only options, according to the manufacturer. Another recent industry advancement is the introduction of fleet management and telematics systems. AFEX was the first fire suppression system manufacturer to offer connectivity to these types of systems, according to the company. One such application of AFEX system connectivity is for remotely operated or autonomous vehicles. By integrating with the vehicle’s control module, the AFEX system can provide realtime system status alerts to personnel in remote locations. Operators can annually actuate and discharge the AFEX system via remote control. Dual agent systems and telematics connectivity may be the most recent AFEX system advancements, but they are not the only features that set AFEX systems apart from other manufacturers. Take, for example, AFEX’s stainless steel distribution system. By avoiding costly hose replacements, users can reduce system maintenance costs by as much as 85 percent, giving the AFEX system the lowest total cost of ownership of any vehicle fire suppression system, according to the company. The AFEX distribution system also is known for its nozzles, which feature an integrated hinged nozzle cap to prevent them from becoming obstructed and impacting

system performance. AFEX fire suppression systems also utilize what is known as a side-cartridge operated design. This means that, unlike a storedpressure type extinguisher designed for use in your home, the AFEX agent tanks are not pressurized until the moment the system is activated. This eliminates the possibility of pressure loss from the agent tank and increases system reliability. It also enables the AFEX system to be serviced in the field without any special equipment. Beyond these features and benefits, AFEX fire suppression systems undergo some of the industry’s most stringent testing and approval requirements to ensure their performance in the field, according to the company. AFEX systems are certified by

Factory Mutual and ActivFire specifically for use on off-road heavy equipment. Other approvals, such as those intended for buses, may not be adequate for the extreme conditions of the construction industry. For nearly 50 years, AFEX Fire Suppression Systems has provided heavy equipment owners with reliable, purposebuilt fire protection solutions for their machines. Once installed, the AFEX system becomes a permanent part of the vehicle and, with proper maintenance, can last for the vehicle’s entire service life. For more information, call 919/781-6610 or visit afexsystems.com. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley…

Community Names Road for Former Lieutenant Governor ASHFORD, Ala. (AP) Wonderful. Caring. Respected. Loved. These were some of the words used to describe former Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, who was being memorialized with the renaming of a stretch of U.S. 84 in her hometown of Pansey in southeastern Alabama. “She was such an extraordinary person, and an extraordinary woman,” state Sen. Harri Anne Smith told the crowd gathered inside the Ashford train depot. “She was such a

trailblazer for women.” When Smith was first elected to office as mayor of Slocomb, she said she called Baxley and asked if she might administer the oath of office, not actually expecting that she’d drive down to Geneva County. But she did. “I’ll always treasure that. It was just such an honor to have her do that,” Smith said. “She just was phenomenal. She’ll go down in history and I’ll be so proud to tell everybody I know I knew Lucy Baxley and she was my friend.”

Alabama Department of Transportation spokesman Tony Harris said signs marking the 4-mi. stretch of highway renamed for Baxley will be installed on Tuesday. “Throughout [the last 105 years] it has been important to us to remember people through honorary naming like this one,” Harris said. “Mile marker 220-224 will forever be a memorial for this woman.” Baxley left an impression on many who grew up with her in the Pansey community, and also those she encountered throughout the state. Alabama State Treasurer Young Boozer is one of them. “She was a caring public servant and served our state well,” Boozer said. “She was a wonderful lady.” Boozer recalled a time in 1996 when the choir from

Stanford University was in Montgomery while on the way to Atlanta to perform at the Olympics. He was giving them a tour of the Alabama State Capitol and when they walked by Baxley’s office, she waved them inside, spoke to each member of the choir, then invited them all to come to her house for dinner that night. Boozer said when he asked her a few days later why she invited the entire choir over, she said she had a son in college and she would have wanted somebody to do the same for him. The resolution that led to the designation of “Lieutenant Governor Lucy Baxley Memorial Highway” was passed by the Alabama Legislature in February. “It was easily passed on the House floor and I’m sure on the Senate floor,” Rep. Paul Lee said. “Very well respected was Lucy Baxley.” Baxley died in October at the age of 78. She was elected state treasurer in 1994 and again in 1998, then served as lieutenant governor from 2003-07. She later served as president of the Alabama Public Service Commission beginning in 2008.

GrinderCrusherScreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;TKVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; GrinderCrusherScreen Inc. introduced a unique product reduction technology called â&#x20AC;&#x153;TKV,â&#x20AC;? short for Tornadic Kinetic Vortex, nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tornado in a Can.â&#x20AC;? This technology has been in existence for years; however, the price has made it out of reach, until now. After much product development, GrinderCrusherScreen is promoting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;TKVâ&#x20AC;? as its choice of technologies for a secondary grinder for many applications where a fine material is needed â&#x20AC;&#x153;TKVâ&#x20AC;? can take bark nuggets to powder, unscreened compost to a fine highly desired material, roofing shingles to a fine grade recycled material, MSW to fluff, glass to sand or powder and manure to fertilizer. Company representatives say that this technology is like having a tornado pass material through an 8â&#x20AC;&#x2122;-0 nonagon steel structure with Âžâ&#x20AC;? steel walls. The destruction is vast, and it rivals sticking a tornado inside a nine-sided structure where the devastation is magnified and devastating. The flying material is quickly reduced by hitting each other and by slamming into the nine walls. Unlike traditional grinders where the hammers and tips do the grinding, in this technology the machine is creating vortexes. The result of the vortexes is material reduction. The result is considerably lower operating costs,

less wear on the machine and a more economical way to process. GrinderCrusherScreen is promoting the GCS Tornadic Kinetic Pulverizer as a secondary processor able to accept 12 in. minus material. Regardless of the material, GrinderCrusherScreen recommends the use of a shredder with a magnet for primary shredding, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;TKVâ&#x20AC;? for the finishing work. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tornado in a Canâ&#x20AC;? technology gives customers the ability to produce considerably finer material than traditional equipment. For more information, call GrinderCrusherScreen at 770-433-2670. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

1817 • Celebrating Erie Canal’s Bicentennial • 2017 By Pete Sigmund CEG EDITORIAL CONSULTANT

I’ve got a mule, her name is Sal 15 miles on the Erie Canal… Low bridge, everybody down Low bridge, for we’re coming to a town This song is one of the many echoing through the many generations since men dug shovels into earth in Rome, N.Y., on July 4, 1817, in the groundbreaking of the nation’s first great infrastructure project, the Erie Canal. The United States is now celebrating the bicentennial of this 363-mile-long 19th Century engineering feat, which created a navigable water route connecting Albany, N.Y., on the Hudson River in the East with Buffalo, N.Y., on Lake Erie to the West. Thousands of men, including many Irish, German and Welsh immigrants wielding shovels, pick axes and improvised earthmoving or tree-felling equipment, completed the canal in 1825 after eight years of backbreaking labor through the wilderness. The canal waterway, more cost-effective than the dirt roads used by horse and wagons, opened the country west of the Appalachian Mountains to a mammoth upsurge in settlers and trade. Spurred Trade Going west, barges pulled by mules or horses now brought tea, sugar and implements from the Eastern Seaboard west to the Great Lakes. Going east, they carried grain, flour, pork and produce from the fertile fields of the Midwest to the expanding populace of the Eastern Seaboard. A barge could now cross the state in six days compared with several weeks by horse and wagon. The new canal made New York City, at the mouth of the Hudson, the nation’s financial capital and the busiest port of the country. It also created boom towns, including Utica, Rome, Syracuse and Buffalo. Before the Erie Canal, it cost $100 per ton to haul goods over rutted, often muddy, dirt roads. The canal cut this to $10

per ton. Illustrating the success of this new infrastructure: in 1829, barges carried 3,640 bushels of wheat eastward from Buffalo. In 1841, they carried one million bushels. (Excess grain was often used to make whiskey, which was so plentiful that a barge driver might consume one quart per day.) The canal also carried packet boats which were as long as 80 ft. These could carry more than 80 passengers who had to duck for low bridges, and who ate at a long central table which folded up to form sleeping berths. Success carried a price. At least 1,000 workers are thought to have died cutting through the forest and digging through the earth to make this canal, the world’s longest at the time, happen.

Digging the Ditch The canal almost didn’t happen. The story goes that President Thomas Jefferson scoffed at the idea of the canal, calling it “a little short of madness” and refusing federal support. President James Madison said the idea was “impractical at best.” He vetoed a bill that would have also provided some federal funding. The canal became a New York State project where grit and determination overcame the many obstacles. Jesse Hawley, a grain broker in western New York, is credited with arousing interest in the canal by spotlighting its advantages in 14 essays, which he wrote for the Genesee see ERIE page 68

Construction Sector Adds Jobs Following Lull Construction employment increased by 16,000 jobs in June to the highest level since October 2008, signaling a new burst of hiring after three months of pause, according to an analysis of new government data by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials urged federal, state and local lawmakers to enact measures to make it easier for school officials, local associations and construction firms to set up construction training programs. “Construction firms added employees over the past year at nearly double the rate of the overall economy, but the recordlow unemployment rate for construction workers shows companies are having to reach outside the industry to fill positions,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. Construction employment totaled 6,896,000 in June, a gain for the month of 16,000 — nearly double the 9,000 jobs added in the previous three months combined, the economist noted. The June level constituted an increase of 206,000, or 3.1 percent, from a year ago. The year-over-year growth rate was almost double the 1.6 percent rise in total nonfarm payroll employment. The sector’s unemployment rate in June virtually matched the rate for all workers at 4.5 percent, the lowest June level for construction since the series began in 2000. Average hourly earnings in the industry climbed to $28.82, an increase of 2.5 percent from a year earlier. The economist noted that construction pays nearly 10 percent more per hour than the average nonfarm private sector job in the United States, which pays $26.25 on average per hour. Residential construction — comprising residential building and specialty trade contractors — added 6,000 jobs in June and 115,600, or 4.5 percent, over the past 12 months. Nonresidential construction (building, specialty trades, and heavy and civil engineering construction) employment increased by 10,300 jobs in June and 90,600, or 2.2 percent, over 12 months. Construction officials cautioned that construction employment gains would likely have been higher if it were easier for firms to find workers to hire. Instead, firms are asking current employees to work longer hours to keep pace with demand. They urged lawmakers at all levels to enact measures that give educators and employers greater flexibility to set up and run construction training programs. In particular, they called on Senators to enact a new Perkins Act measure that passed in the House in June. “More young people would be able to find jobs in construction that pay better than other industries if there were more opportunities to expose students to the sector,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. For more information, visit www.agc.org.

Volvo CE Celebrates Production of 75,000th Artic Hauler

With half of all the articulated haulers ever made bearing the Volvo brand, the company has just passed another landmark — the production of its 75,000th hauler.

More than half a century after it invented the concept, Volvo Construction Equipment celebrated the production of the 75,000th articulated hauler. Having produced more than half of the articulated haulers ever made, a staggering 50,000 Volvo haulers are still in regular use around the world. The 75,000th machine — one of the new generation A45G full suspension models — rolled off the production line in late June at the factory where the first machine — the DDR631 or “Gravel Charlie” — was made, in Braås, Sweden. And although Volvo articulated haulers can be found all over the world, the 75,000th machine is staying relatively local, going to Norwegian customer Leonhard Nilsen & Sønner AS. In typically Swedish style, the landmark 75,000 articulated hauler was marked modestly — with factory workers celebrating the achievement with ice cream. Then it was back to work, to meet the demand that is seeing Volvo take a bigger lick of the articulated hauler market.

benefits of articulated haulers, the machines are now in demand as never before, finding work as production machines in mines and on all types of infrastructure projects. This is driving the trend for larger machines — such as the newly introduced 45-ton (41 t) class size of the 75,000th machine, the A45G. Volvo CE’s A60H is the largest on the market, and can deliver 40 percent higher production than Volvo’s previous largest machine — the A40G — with hardly any increase in the ongoing cost of ownership, according to the manufacturer.

“There’s not many companies can say that they are still the market leaders half a century after they invented a concept,” said Håkan Ask, business platform leader of trucks at Volvo CE. “Having made 75,000 machines we are still showing the way, building more productive and fuel-efficient machines that are the envy of the industry.” For more information, visit www.volvoce.com (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Unrelenting Development Over the last 51 years, the models have increased in size and sophistication. The first 16.5-ton (15 t) capacity machine built in 1966 can fit into the haul body of the A60H — Volvo flagship 60.6 ton (55 t) articulated hauler. More than half a decade of experience is built into every Volvo machine. A high hitch gives better stability and ground clearance, hydro-mechanical steering offers high speed stability, while 100 percent dog clutches and automatic switching between 6X4 and 6X6 drive not only powers through any conditions, but does so with minimal wear and maximum fuel efficiency, according to the manufacturer. Heritage “There’s no question that we have the best product,” said Esbjörn Fritzell, vice president of Volvo CE’ Trucks business platform. “The fact that so many of our haulers are still working around the world is a testament to their usefulness and durability — it’s almost impossible to kill a Volvo articulated hauler.” Don’t Stop Me Now… While it took a while for the world to fully appreciate the

Over the past 51 years, the models have increased in size and sophistication.

Matthew’s Aftermath…

Bridge Struck by Hurricane Set to Reopen in Nov. CONWAY, S.C. (AP) A bridge that’s remained closed since Hurricane Matthew struck South Carolina almost nine months ago should be replaced by November. South Carolina officials say the bridge on S.C. Highway 19 near Conway is now under construction. The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reported that motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes or the dedicated detours to navigate around the site. The closed bridge on Old Georgetown Road also is undergoing construction work and is expected to be completed in November. Both bridges have remained closed since the hurricane struck in October. The emergency contract was awarded by the state in late December to Carolina Bridge Company Inc. to design and construct the new bridges and approaching roadways.

PIRTEK Opens Daytona, Fort Lauderdale Locations

Carlos Shortt, owner of PIRTEK Doral and PIRTEK Fort Lauderdale.

PIRTEK, a fluid transfer solutions company, is continuing its expansion across Florida and the United States with the opening of PIRTEK Daytona and PIRTEK Fort Lauderdale. Both locations opened in June under the company’s Tier 2 model, bringing the total Florida PIRTEK franchises to 13. Carlos Shortt, who owns PIRTEK Doral in Doral, Fla., expanded into Fort Lauderdale largely because of current customer requests. “Some of our customers in Doral also do work in Fort Lauderdale,” Shortt said. “They’ve asked us if we could have a presence in that area so we can take care of their hose issues. We’re taking the step forward.” The Fort Lauderdale and Daytona locations are mobile-only businesses, each featuring two fully equipped, 24-hour mobile service vehicles. PIRTEK rolled out its Tier 2 mobileonly option in 2016, enabling entrepreneurs to start up a franchise at a lower point of entry. Under Tier 2, a franchisee can keep the inventory in a small warehouse or storage facility and lease two vehicles. The standard Tier 1 model requires a franchisee to have a full service

and supply center staffed with six team members and at least two mobile service vehicles. Tier 2 owners are expected to advance to a Tier 1 location in three years. Shortt said he has studied Fort Lauderdale’s business profile extensively and considers the new Tier 2 an excellent opportunity on Florida’s east coast. “I did my research,” he said. “Now we’re building relationships, getting the message out that we’re not a new company. We’re part of a successful presence in Doral and we’re backed up by a worldwide franchising company that’s been around for more than 30 years.” PIRTEK Fort Lauderdale will pursue business in the area’s industrial sector, marinas, construction and rental businesses. Dan Ferretti, owner of PIRTEK Daytona and PIRTEK Space Coast in Rockledge, Fla., said that the Tier 2 model affords existing owners an excellent opportunity to branch out. “It makes franchise ownership more accessible to a larger group,” said Ferretti. “It also enables existing owners to own multiple franchises. We wanted to take advantage of that benefit so would could see PIRTEK page 69

H&E Equipment Expands With Neff Corporation Deal H&E from page 1

“Further, this transaction will bring together what we believe to be two highly complementary businesses that share a commitment to addressing the increasingly complex equipment needs of our customers. Our broader geographic footprint and enhanced capabilities in strategic markets, coupled with complementary expertise across equipment categories, are expected to help us to achieve our growth goals. We look forward to welcoming Neff’s talented employee base to the H&E family, and to offering more coverage and capabilities to support our combined customer base.” “We are looking forward to joining an industry leader who shares our core values, including our commitment to providing customers with best-in-class equipment services and solutions,” Graham Hood, chief executive officer of Neff, said. “Neff offers H&E a talented, experienced and knowledgeable employee base that we expect will continue to maintain and develop relationships with key customers and contribute to the combined company’s growth. I would like to thank our 1,160 employees across the country, who are the driving force behind our business. Today’s announcement is a testa-

ment to the value that they have helped to create for our stakeholders.” Strategic Rationale • Scale — The acquisition will nearly double the number of H&E branches, from 78 to 147, within H&E’s existing footprint in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and West Coast regions. Both H&E’s and Neff’s customers will benefit from best-in-class practices and a wide range of equipment in more locations. • Fleet — As of March 31, the companies’ combined fleet totaled $2.2 billion based on original equipment cost (OEC) and consisted of 43,749 units. The addition of Neff’s fleet will complement to H&E’s concentration in aerial work platform equipment and the combined company will possess one of the largest earthmoving rental fleets in the industry. As of March 31, the earthmoving fleet of H&E and Neff on a combined OEC basis totaled $727 million and consisted of 8,736 units. The increased geographic expansion and density is expected to allow H&E to better position fleet to regional pockets of higher demand and improve overall utilization. • Increased Non-Residential Construction Penetration and End-User Market

Diversification — The transaction is expected to increase H&E’s penetration in the nonresidential construction market. With a significantly larger earthmoving fleet, company representatives believe H&E will be wellpositioned to gain from any future governmental infrastructure spending initiatives and also will have a broader exposure to new regional and local customers in the construction markets. H&E believes that the earthmoving segment is an under-penetrated segment that may afford enhanced growth opportunities. • Employees and Culture — Neff employees will bring significant industry expertise to H&E, where they will have the opportunity for further career development and advancement in the significantly larger combined company. Both companies share the same best-in-class commitment to customer service and safety. Transaction Highlights • H&E estimates the acquisition will create $25 to $30 million of synergies annually related to corporate overhead, systems and operational efficiencies, as well as scale benefits for equipment purchases. • The acquisition of Neff is expected to generate in excess of $800 million of gross

tax assets for H&E arising from a step-up in the basis of certain of Neff’s assets. • Wells Fargo Bank and affiliated entities have agreed to provide committed financing for the transaction, subject to customary conditions. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. • Private investment funds managed by Wayzata Investment Partners LLC holding approximately 62.7 percent of the outstanding common shares of Neff have executed a written consent to approve the transaction, thereby providing the required stockholder approval for the transaction. • The merger agreement includes a “goshop” period, which runs through August 20, during which the special committee of Neff’s board of directors, with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, may solicit alternative proposals to acquire Neff. There can be no assurance that this process will result in receipt of a superior offer or that any other transactions will be approved or consummated.

Paulding County Purchases Bomag BM1300/30 Cold Planer Not too long ago, Paulding County, Ga., had well over 200 mi. of dirt roads to maintain. Today, the number of miles has been reduced to approximately 60 mi. and will eventually be zero. The Paulding County Department of Transportation is accomplishing this by using its own milled material from other road projects and recycling the product to create “hard surfaced” dirt roads. The process is pretty straightforward. The county uses a motorgrader to fine-grade the surface of the dirt road and then distributes the recycled milled material with a dozer, which further breaks down any large chunks of millings. Crews wet and roll the material with a vibratory compactor, and the heat of the sun does the rest. This process has worked well. Once complete, the county can reclassify the roads as milling roads rather than dirt roads. If there’s an area that needs to be patched — where dirt or GAB compromised the milled material to create a pothole — the county can use a milling attachment to take up the area that needs to be repaired and put down hot mix. So far, residents have been quite pleased with the transformation. “We usually have to come out and blade a dirt road twice a year and place new rock,” said Jimmy Cole, paving manager and a 28-year veteran of the Paulding County Department of Transportation. “We don’t have to do that anymore on these roads. We’re working to change all dirt roads to milling roads. The smoother milled material and dust control are big advantages to us, as well as drivers. Now,

rather than sending crews out to blade a road, we send them out to patch as needed.” The pace at which Paulding County is converting the dirt roads requires large quantities milled material. In the past, the county would simply contract out its major milling projects. All of the milled material would be shipped back to the asphalt plants of the companies it contracted. “The county wanted us to save the money and do the milling process ‘in house,’ Cole said. “We’ve always done whatever we can to save money, including stockpiling old milled material from previous projects for use on resurfacing county dirt roads.”

The bottom line: Paulding County needed a milling machine. “We recently purchased a Bomag BM1300/30 cold planer to create our own milled material,” Cole said. “In the past, the only milling we were able to do was with a Bobcat machine with a patch miller attachment. We worked that machine hard! We’ve known for years that we needed a bigger milling machine and we finally got one. This is our first milling machine purchase. We went online and looked at what was available. We went to some factories to look at machines. We also went to other counties to watch their see PAULDING page 40

machine is a lot more productive and user-friendly. Also, the electronics are great for your ‘ground guy’ helping the operator. Also, the ability to line up the machine and readily identify your start and stop points, makes this machine stand out to me.” Steele also toured the Bomag factory and said the group at Bomag was like dealing with family. “They were very upfront and able to answer any questions you had for them, said Steele. “The parts department is well stocked and efficient, which is extremely important to us to minimize our downtime.” “We have a maintenance department who are trained to work on this machine, and if we need additional assistance, we feel very confident that Cowin and Bomag are capable of completely supporting us,” said Steele. John Edwards of Cowin Equipment was very impressed with the professionalism of the Paulding County DOT main-

milling operations. In the end, we went with a Bomag machine. Now, Paulding County is able to produce their own milled product to the benefit of the residents of the county.” According to Cole, Ronnie Morris, the county’s road superintendent, looked at what the county needed and talked with Andrew Bell of Cowin Equipment Company. “He accompanied us to the Bomag factory in South Carolina,” said Cole. “While there, we saw a quality machine being built, and we were impressed with the process. We were able to run and test operate some of the features on machines. The service after the sale with both Bomag and Cowin Equipment seemed like a great fit for us as well. They were able answer all our questions and address all of our concerns. They both treated us well and taught us a lot in a very short amount of time. I think it was an allaround good deal.” Cole said the funds for the machine came from the SPLOST (special-purpose local-option sales tax) money available from an additional, temporary one cent tax for improvements such as this. He said it’s an investment that will pay off for years to come. So far, the DOT has used the Bomag BM1300/30 cold planer for milling out bad spots on roads and for milling and patching county roads. The machine also is used for more exacting work, including for curb milling for profiling to allow them to tie into curbing with new pavement. The machine’s 48 by 12 in. depth milling capabilities fits the parameters that the Paulding County DOT was looking for. “We’re still relatively new with this machine,” said Cole. “We especially like how a person on the ground can have a machine controller and can actually make changes that assist the operator. The machine is very userfriendly and we’ve only had to pull out Michael Steele, Paulding County DOT machine operator, likes the Bomag the owner’s manual a time or two.

They were extremewhen the machine was delivered and assisted us on the initial ly knowledgeable, attentive and picked up on the training setup and use of the machine. It was a real hands-on process quite well.” In the long run, Cole said that buying this machine is with the manufacturer and their dealer.” According to Michael Steele, Paulding County DOT going to save the county money and expand the abilities of equipment operator, this machine has significantly improved the Paulding County DOT, especially with regards to conthe milling process. Steele has been with the Paulding tract milling for larger resurfacing projects. “In the past, a small milling project could take most of a County DOT for more than 16 years and operates all of the day. With the new Bomag machine, we can accomplish that machines in the fleet. “The Bomag covers a larger amount of surface in a much same task in about 20 minutes. That’s a lot of saved money shorter time compared to our previous method,” said Steele. over a year’s time” said Cole.

Bomag — Celebrating 60 Years of Success, Innovation Bomag GmbH, the specialist in road construction and asphalt and soil compaction, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. The company’s focus on innovation, quality, user-friendly products and the highest level of service has transformed a small business into a successful global manufacturer of construction machinery. Bomag — founded in the town center of Boppard/Rhine in Germany in October 1957 — now employs approximately 2,200 employees. “We are proud of what Bomag has achieved up to now and the many innovations which have been accepted by customers all over the world, which have made Bomag the global market leader in our core business of asphalt and soil compaction,” said Jörg Unger, president — FAYAT road equipment division. “Above all, this has been made possible by the commitment of our highly qualified employees, who give us their best every day and are never simply satisfied with what has already been achieved.”

Bomag 60 Years: 1957-2017 1957: Foundation of Bopparder Maschinenbaugesellschaft MbH in Boppard am Rhein Launch of the world’s first double vibratory roller featuring all drum drive — the BW 60 1961: First overseas branch in Austria 1962: First self-propelled double vibratory roller: model BW 200 1968: First international subsidiaries – Bomag Nippon and Canada 1969: Moved to current headquarters in the Hellerwald industrial park 1973: First research and development center 1983: Development of the first compaction control system — the Terrameter BTM 01 1986: First contract in China 1998: Sales of DM 500 million exceeded for the first time 2001: Introduction of the Asphalt manager — the first control system with automatic compaction control 2003: New powder coating and paint shop with first driverless transport system 2005: Acquisition by Fayat 2006: Assumes responsibility for the paver and milling machine business 2008: Selected as one of the “Top 100” most innovative German medium-sized companies 2014: “Top Job” award as one of the best employers among German medium-sized companies 2017: New customer and training center in Boppard (due to open in September)

Focused on the Customer One of the most important pillars of this 60-year success story is customer orientation and placing the customer first. Since its founding, Bomag has placed great importance on developing close partnerships on an equal footing. “No matter where we are in the world, Bomag always maintains its focus on the customers’ needs. This close market proximity together with the highest level of local service for the machines is one of our greatest strengths, and this will not change in the future,” said Unger. The results of these developmental partnerships with customers are products that meet not only market requirements but also those of the user. Machines with a long service life and low servicing requirements and control systems that are easy to operate make construction and compaction work more productive. The high compaction power plus Bomag’s measurement technology save contractors significant fuel costs and time, according to the company. Continuous Product Innovation To lead the way in road construction and soil compaction in the coming decades, Bomag continues to invest strongly in research, development, education and training and launches an average of 15 new products onto the market each year. The new Bomag BW 28 RH pneumatic tired roller features a cab design modeled on the head of a hammerhead shark, providing the driver, for the first time, with a clear view of the top of the wheels and allowing for more precise work on asphalt edges and joints. Weight options for the new BW 28 RH also are new. The roller is available with a range of precise operating weights from 18,960 to 61,730 lb. (8,600 to 28,000 kg). In addition, a newly developed brake pedal, which spans the entire width of the driver’s stand, see BOMAG page 46

Mission Accomplished: Contractor Resurfaces Air Force Base Runway By Jeff Winke SPECIAL TO CEG

MacDill Air Force Base, located approximately 4 mi. south-southwest of downtown Tampa, Fla., is the base for the U.S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command, which provides airlift, special missions, aerial refueling and aeromedical evacuation for the armed forces. MacDill is home to 16 KC135 Stratotankers and three C-37 Gulfstreams. The aircraft use MacDill’s flight line every day. At any point, there will be a steady flow of aircraft departing and landing on the base’s sole runway, Runway 4-22. The runway is 9,421-ft. long by 151-ft. wide, or approximately 150,000 sq. yds. The runway usually requires resurfacing every 15 years or so and in 2016 the surface had provided MacDill Air Force Base with 16 years of service. Wear and cracks had developed. Even their best pilots were finding it a bit rough for executing smooth landings. The $8.1 million runway resurfacing project was awarded to Danner Construction Company Inc., Tampa, Fla., as the general contractor on the project. Ajax Paving Industries, North Venice, Fla., completed the paving and Turtle Southeast Inc., Largo, Fla., handled all of the asphalt milling of the old surface. The overall project is expected to close the runway for about two months. The aircraft traffic was redirected to nearby Tampa International Airport and to Joint Base Charleston to continue the Base’s operations. The U.S. Air Force runway rehab project is under the careful scrutiny of Robert Moore, deputy director of the 6th Civil Engineer Squadron (CE) and his staff, as well as Lt. Col. Chesley Dycus commander of the 6th Operations Support Squadron. “The challenge we faced was time,” said T. Allen Gill, general manager of Turtle Southeast, “Our window for milling the entire runway was set at 96 hours.” To complete the project on time, Turtle assigned much of

its equipment and staff to completing the project. The company has 50 employees and a fleet that includes 13 Roadtec milling machines, 13 service trucks, nine transports, five water trucks and a variety of ancillary vehicles. “We started milling at 0 hundred hours on Thursday. which gave us until midnight Sunday to finish,” Gill said. “Our crews pulled the nose up on this one and finished it ahead of the projected schedule by 24 hours.” The total milling depth of the project was 4.25 in. and required a total of 400 machine hours to complete. Turtle milled the first layer of asphalt at 2.25 in. and then milled the second layer to final grade using a machine control GPS system. The company had 30 employees working on the project and dedicated eight of its high-productivity Roadtec RX700e cold planers to ensure the project was done accurately and within the tight timeframe. Additionally, Turtle Southeast needed to ensure that the milled grade was tight enough so that Ajax could achieve finished paving tolerances of ¼-in. or less to meet FAA standards. “Roadtec mills are incredibly heavy-duty and reliable,” said Gill. “At some points of this project we were running the machines 20 hours a day without a single minute of downtime due to our equipment. And I might add, we have some older machines in that group, but they are as reliable as the new ones—which is another reason why we are sold on Roadtec.” The RX-700e features a 755 hp (563 kW) Caterpillar engine and the machines have the exclusive Roadtec Guardian Telematics System, which monitors the machine in real time through a wireless signal, and can address any issues that may arise while the machine works. The telematics system also allows Roadtec service personnel to remotely view the machine in real time. The engine, hydraulic system, electrical system and grade control can all be monitored in see ROADTEC page 48

offers more comfort and safety and can be safely and directly accessed at all times. In March, Bomag introduced its most powerful cold milling machine, the BM 2200/75, to the North American market. Boasting a powerful 760.3-hp (567 kW) diesel engine, the BM 2200/75 delivers high-performance milling of half-lane widths reaching 86.6 in. (220 cm) at precise milling depths reaching 13.8 in (35 cm). A range of quick-change milling drum options are available, featuring Bomag’s BMS15 tooth holder system that lowers wear to extend service life by up to 30 percent over other cutting systems. Due to the holder’s quick-change design, a full set of teeth can be changed in about 25 percent of the time as conventional systems to increase machine uptime availability, according to the company. The Bomag RS 500 recycler/stabilizer advances operating safety and improves material gradation in road recycling applications. Its offsetting rotor design allows the rotor housing to be shifted to either side of

the RS 500, reaching beyond the wheel’s edge, so the machine can safely stabilize soil on slopes and recycle asphalt up to the road’s edge without requiring the wheels to drive in marginal ground conditions. The machine’s FLEXMIX technology features an adjustable door just above the rear discharge door that moves at the operator’s command to provide flexible mixing of material inside the rotor chamber, giving the operator precise control over material gradation. In September of this year, Bomag’s popular “Innovation Days” customer event will be held at the new Customer and Training Center in Germany. The growing headquarters in Boppard have been expanded to include a modern demo site with an outdoor area for machine demonstrations and presentations. This is connected to a training center with training rooms and workshops. For more information, call 803/337-0700 or visit www.bomag.com/us.

Roadtec Milling Machines CIR Additive System Works Shorten Timeline on Project for Cold-in-Place Recycling ROADTEC from page 44

detail and adjustments can be made remotely. Gill said he likes the layer of security the Guardian System provides but for the MacDill runway project, the machines were reliable, so there was no need to tap into Guardian. “If there had been a need, diagnosing a machine equipped with the Guardian system is a much quicker and more efficient process,” said Tim Hammer, maintenance supervisor of The Turtle Companies. “The system’s Live Schematic lets me see all electrical circuits in a simple and efficient layout with real time status of all switches, valves and settings. If I need to, I can make changes to the system parameters from my laptop without touching the machine.” The short milling timeframe and aggressive pace Turtle Southeast adopted meant minimal sleep and a lot of coffee. Gill remarked that he added up the coffee receipts from the nearby Dunkin’ Donuts and it was $400 for the crew. “We worked hard on this project and put

in some long hours,” said Gill.“ At one point, for a split second, I thought I was dreaming when I looked down the two-mile runway and saw eight Roadtec RX-700e cold planers working simultaneously. But I quickly realized that the beautiful sight was real.” Gill credits Ajax for its support throughout the project and doing a great job of staging their trucks, so the milling could continue uninterrupted: “When we started the day on Saturday morning there were a total of 130 trucks lined up and waiting to be filled.” As Turtle Southeast finishes up a few addon tasks for the MacDill Air Force Base Runway 4-22 project, Gill said, “The ease of use of our Roadtec milling machines helped us dramatically decrease the amount of time it took to complete this project. To be honest, I believe the machines are made beefier than other milling machines on the market, I’m happy that they are, because I believe that’s what makes them reliable and able to last as long as they do.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

The Roadtec CIR additive system is used in the cold-in-place recycling of asphalt pavement in the repair and rehabilitation of asphalt-paved roads. The system is used to transfer, measure and inject either emulsion or foamed asphalt to the cutter housing of the milling machine. The additive is then thoroughly blended with the milled material and transferred for paving. Roadtec cold-inplace recycling (CIR) equipment makes it possible to repair damage to a roadway in one single pass, while reusing up to 100 percent of the existing material. Savings potentials are expected to be significant, not only through re-use of material, but also by reducing equipment requirements, and through time savings, according to the manufacturer. The CIR process removes a portion of an existing asphalt pavement by milling to a

depth of 2 to 4 in. (5 to 10 cm), and then repaving it with reworked asphalt-mix with additives. As the name implies, CIR is accomplished without heating the asphalt mixture, before or after placement. Depending on the structural requirements of the overall pavement and its intended use, the CIR typically receives a wear course such as a chip seal or HMA overlay to complete the road before returning it to traffic. Single unit systems do not include a method of screening and crushing. Mounted to the rear of the milling machine, the CIR additive system is the same width as the mainframe of the milling machine.

CROSBY EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC. www.crosbyequipimentco.com

The TLB840R backhoe loader is equipped with a powerful 74-hp, Tier IV final 4-cyclinder Deutz electronic fuel injection diesel engine, a 4-speed synchro shuttle transmission and a robust hydraulic system to excel at digging, reaching, lifting and loading tasks.

Designed to increase productivity and profitability, Terex backhoe loaders are powerful workhorses armed with a host of new features aimed at enhancing comfort, reducing driver fatigue and aiding productivity. Each model features a curved boom design for increased reach and dig depth and the operator is afforded maximum comfort with ergonomically designed controls, climate control and a lumbar-supporting suspension seat. Service points are positioned within easy reach of ground level. Configured to meet the rental market’s need for a highperformance backhoe with a low acquisition cost, the TLB840R backhoe loader is designed to give rental business owners a more immediate return on investment without sacrificing performance or quality, according to Mecalac, which acquired the Terex Coventry plant’s compact construction business in December 2016. The TLB840R backhoe loader is equipped with a powerful 74-hp, Tier IV final 4-cylinder Deutz electronic fuel injection diesel engine, a 4-speed synchro shuttle transmission and a robust hydraulic system to excel at digging, reaching, lifting and loading tasks. The engine, transmission and hydraulic systems have all been designed for easy maintenance by rental company technicians and mechanics. The design of the TLB840R resulted from taking a good hard look at the needs of the rental customers so it is configured specifically for the market, according to Mecalac. With the growth forecast for the North American rental industry continuing to be encouraging well into 2017, it was an opportune time to poll the customers in the rental community to gain a better understanding of the market’s specific needs and to know how to help them be more competitive. Because rental rates are driven by equipment acquisition costs and utilization, the company focused on a product that would be competitively priced without sacrificing the quality and fea-

tures the company’s backhoe products are known for, at a price point that drives return on investment for the customers. With a 9,441 lb. ft. bucket breakout force, a loader lift capacity of 7,291 lb. ft. and bucket capacity of 1.0 cu. yd. (.76 cu m), this Terex backhoe loader offers high-capacity production to tackle any project where a backhoe is needed. Terex has designed this unit to give operators unrestricted visibility to the bucket edge, which is ideal in grading applications. The curved boom design and up to 13-ft. 5-in. (4 m) loading height (with an extendable stick) of the TLB840R backhoe loader offers operators excellent clearance to reach up and over obstacles, as well as the ability to load closer into trucks for greater productivity. This rental-ready backhoe loader comes standard with 4wheel drive, tilt steering wheel, suspension seat and selectable pattern change pilot controls. It can be ordered with either a canopy or fully enclosed cab that includes heat and A/C, as well as a choice of a standard or extendable dipperstick. All Terex TLB840R backhoe loaders are equipped with a fully tilting hood for easy access to all service points, including the engine, oil cooler, radiator and air cleaner. Mecalac Vice President Alexandre Marchetta sees the Terex backhoe loader line as a valuable addition to the Mecalac portfolio that clearly responds to a need in the U.S. market. “We are breaking new ground with this Terex range of versatile, innovative and efficient backhoe loaders. This line represents a tremendous opportunity for Mecalac to become a bigger presence in the U.S. market. The Mecalac group is 100 percent committed to standing behind this exceptional line of machines and ensuring a smooth transition that will work for customers and distributors alike.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

JCB 3CX Compact Built for North American Markets JCB’s 3CX compact delivers JCB’s legendary backhoe loader performance and versatility, in a 35 percent smaller package, making it ideal for confined urban job sites and highway repair, according to the manufacturer. The 3CX compact will be available with a front-end skid steer coupler, allowing customers to utilize a wide range of standardflow hydraulic attachments. JCB also will offer a high-flow auxiliary hydraulic circuit, further boosting utilization for operators. Key features include: • Compact dimensions — just 6 ft. 6 in. (2 m) wide and 9 ft. (2.74 m) high • Rapid travel — 25 mph (40 kmh) hydrostatic transmission • Total control — servo excavator levers and smooth hydraulics • Maximum maneuverability — 4WS provides a 19 ft. (5.8 m) turning circle • Highly versatile — a choice of backhoe and skid steer hitches, plus an excavator quick-hitch JCB Chief Innovation and Growth Officer Tim Burnhope said, “With the 3CX compact, JCB has condensed more than 60 years of backhoe loader expertise and market leadership into a machine that delivers all of the

versatility, productivity and ease of use of the market-leading 3CX, with even more maneuverable dimensions. “The small footprint and incredible allround visibility is perfect for working in congested job sites, it’s easy and intuitive to use, has great mobility and maneuverability and with servo controls, will suit operators of backhoes and excavators. “With the 3CX compact we are delivering a real master of all trades. The addition of a skid steer coupler makes the 3CX compact even more versatile, allowing operators to get a higher return on their machinery investment and complete more projects, more efficiently.” The Perfect Machine for Urban Environments The 3CX compact combines the digging power and ease of use of a mini-excavator, with the capabilities of a compact wheeled loading shovel. Backhoe loader, mini-excavator and skid steer loader attachment compatibility allows the 3CX compact to work with the widest range of attachments and hand held tools, for maximum versatility and utilization. Approximately 35 percent smaller than

JCB’s full size backhoe loaders, the 3CX compact is capable of high road speeds up to 25 mph (40 kmh). The machine is ideally suited to road resurfacing and repair, utilities, groundworkers and municipalities. Due to standard four-wheel steering, the 3CX compact has a turning circle of just 19 ft., less than the width of a two-lane road. The machine also is ideal for niche applications such as cemeteries, where it can dig at 90 degrees, maneuver around headstones and lift burial vaults. At the front end, the loader comes with a range of shovels that can be supplied with optional hard wearing toe plates for road stripping applications. A load over height of 9 ft. 9 in. (2.98 m) and forward reach at full height of 3 ft. 8 in. (1.11 m) allows easy loading of trucks. The machine also can be ordered with a hydraulic quickhitch, for faster attachment change. The six-in-one shovel makes the 3CX compact the ideal machine for a host of jobs on site. The 3CX compact can be used with pallet forks, trenchers, sweepers, rakes and a wide range of backhoe and skid steer attachments. In the third quarter of 2017, the 3CX compact will be offered with a 31.7 gpm (120 Lpm) high-flow auxiliary circuit, mak-

ing it possible for operators to use an even broader range of attachments, including patch planers and other high-flow work tools, according to the manufacturer. The high-flow circuit will be available with a multi-function, electronic front loader control lever, with integral proportional rocker switches and activation buttons. This will provide increased control of frontmounted attachments, boosting productivity and performance. Low Emission Driveline The 3CX compact is powered by a low emission Tier IV Final JCB diesel by Kohler engine, delivering 74 hp (55 kW). This highly efficient engine meets U.S. emissions standards without the need for a costly diesel particulate filter (DPF). The engine drives through a three-speed hydrostatic transmission to all four wheels, for maximum traction in difficult site conditions. The hydrostatic transmission offers a 25 mph (40 kmh) top speed for travel between sites, 17 percent higher than the popular 2CX. The transmission also features a creep mode, allowing the operator to run at high engine rpm to power high-flow attachments such as road planers, with maximum travel speeds of just 2.2 mph (3.5 kmh). The hydrostatic transmission eliminates the need for a gearshift lever or a clutch, ensuring maximum ease of use. Heavy-duty JCB axles with an optional limited slip differential reduce wheel slip in tough conditions. An intelligent braking system disengages the transmission to increase efficiency and reduce component wear. Optional shovel and stabilizer street pads are available to prevent damage to the roadway. In combination with a hand-held hydraulic tool circuit and a host of high power attachments, such as breakers and patch planers, the 3CX Compact is the ideal machine for road maintenance. Parallel lift loader arms ensure maximum load retention and JCB’s smooth ride loader suspension system (SRS) is standard, improving comfort for the operator and limiting spill from the front shovel. LiveLink Support As with the majority of JCB machines, the 3CX compact is supplied as standard with JCB’s LiveLink telematic tracking and monitoring system. LiveLink allows the fleet manager to monitor the machine’s performance and operating health remotely, with warnings of service and working issues. For more information, visit www.jcb.com.

Enhance Productivity, Uptime…

Updated John Deere L-Series Backhoes Simplify Operation Updates to the John Deere L-Series backhoe lineup enhance the productivity and uptime for professionals looking to lift more and multitask on the job site. The key backhoe updates include the introduction of precision mode, enhanced pilot controllers, two new rear quick coupler offerings and a redesigned hydraulic thumb. “Our L-Series lineup is popular among utility contractors in the Americas, and we’re constantly working with fleet managers, owners and operators to make machine tweaks with a focus on increasing productivity and uptime,” said Brian Hennings, product marketing manager, backhoes loaders, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “These backhoes can do multiple jobs, and now was the perfect time to make a few updates to improve the overall operator experience after launching these versatile machines two years ago.” As a new standard feature on the 310SL HL, 410L and 710L precision mode allows

reduced-speed hydraulic functions while operating the backhoe end of the machine — all with the push of a button on the sealed switch module (SSM). The mode allows accurate, detailed work to be performed easily in tight areas, around utilities or while craning, and it helps new operators become comfortable with the backhoe as they master their operating skills. John Deere also improved the pilot controller — increasing the metering range by 16 percent — which enhances operator feel at the control helm. Additionally, engineers enhanced consistency between functions (acceleration and deceleration) for smoother operation and reduced system oscillation. The new rear hydraulic coupler was designed with an integrated control that is incorporated into the SSM for reliable operation and clean installation. A spring-type rear coupler also is new and offers increased productivity and uptime by only requiring the operator to leave the cab once during the

process of changing buckets. The only tool required is the provided control rod, which is sized to fit in the standard toolbox. By only leaving the cab to release the current attachment, the operator is able to get back to work

faster and easier than with traditional manual couplers. A redesigned hydraulic thumb option reduces trench interference and improves contact points against the bucket cutting edge when handling or loading irregular shaped objects, debris, rocks or anything that cannot be handled with a bucket alone. Fleet managers looking to get the most out of their L-Series backhoes can rely on their John Deere dealers to provide Ultimate Uptime, featuring John Deere WorkSight. With Ultimate Uptime, owners receive predelivery and follow-up inspections that include five years of JDLink telematics, machine health prognostics, remote diagnostics, programming capabilities and the ability to add dealer-provided uptime solutions to a customized package.

Kubota’s L47, M62 TLBs Offer Increased Comfort, Efficiency Kubota Tractor Corporation, unveiled two new models, the L47 and M62 TLBs. The new TLBs replace the L39, L45 and M59 in the Kubota product line. Both units will join Kubota’s popular B26 to round out its TLB line. “Kubota is taking its tractor-loader-backhoe line to new levels of performance and refinement,” said Tim Boulds, Kubota construction equipment product operations manager. “Our newest generation of TLBs is more powerful, more efficient and offers more features for comfort and convenience. The two new models feature optional single-lever hydraulic hookup for coupling and uncoupling of front implements, making Kubota’s TLBs an attractive three-inone option to buyers in the rental, construction and landscaping sectors.” Three-in-One Workhorse With Easy Single-Lever Attachments Kubota’s new TLBs feature true workhorse capabilities with essentially three machines in one, capable of performing front loader, backhoe and tractor work, and supported by an integrated main frame for increased durability. Both the L47 and the M62 can perform front loading, rear excavating, and other implement tasks, such as a pallet fork or a box blade, via either a mechanical two-lever quick coupler or an optional hydraulic quick coupler. With the hydraulic coupler, the operator needs only to press two dashboard buttons to release the levers securing the front implement. After backing away and proceeding to the next attachment, pressing the buttons again re-engages the levers and secures the new implement. Because the operator does not need to exit the machine, the easy attachment feature proves value when working in inclement weather, as well as being an overall time-saver on the job site. Additionally, the backhoe’s quick coupler allows for easy switching of Kubota excavator buckets, and a four-point rear quickmount system allows for easy detachment of the backhoe when it’s not needed. Even more work duties can be handled with the aid of an independent PTO that enables the TLBs to get even more work done by attaching a wide range of PTO-driven implements, including rotary tillers, snow blowers and rear-mounted mowers — and because the PTO is hydraulic-independent, operators can engage and disengage without stopping the tractor.

a 14-ft. (4.2 m) digging depth, a 17-percent improvement over the previous generation’s 12-ft. (3.6 m) max depth. The M62 has a bucket digging force of 6,572 lbs. On both TLB models, a lever-engaged backhoe crawling mode allows the operator to slowly creep forward or backward while remaining at the backhoe controls, saving time and enabling more sure-footed operation such as when working alongside a trench. New Diesel Engines: Cleaner, More Powerful, Longer Range The L47 and M62 are powered by turbocharged fourcylinder diesel engines that use a common-rail direct injection system, which, along with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and diesel particulate filters (DPF), enable compliance with Tier IV Final emissions regulations. In addition, both engines are more powerful than their predecessors; the L47’s engine produces a rated 47.1 gross hp, while the M62 produces a rated 63 gross hp. The L47 and M62 are equipped with a much larger 17.7-gal. (67 L) fuel tank — that’s boasting up to 48 percent more fuel capacity than those of the previous TLBs, allowing both new models to work longer, with

less downtime required to refuel, according to the manufacturer. Increased Comfort and Convenience Features The L47 and M62 host a number of interior upgrades that are aimed at increasing functionality and optimizing operator comfort. In both models the clutch pedal has been eliminated, thereby allowing the brake pedal to be relocated to the left side of the cab, reducing interior clutter and simplifying driver operation. Foot space on the backhoe platform has been increased 27 percent over the previous models, providing the operator with a roomier work area. A new throttle-up switch increases engine rpm while holding vehicle speed steady for those times when extra power is required for front loader work but vehicle speed needs to remain constant, and the electronic throttle lever and PTO switch require less physical effort to engage than older mechanical controls.

A Bigger, More Capable Backhoe: M62 Breaks Into New Digging Depth Category Along with a productive front loader and powerful tractor, the M62 TLBs features highly efficient backhoes that dig deeper and reach farther than previous models. What’s more, the new models now feature the ability to utilize certain Kubota mini-excavator buckets, which can provide for more versatility on the job site. Kubota’s L47 boasts a 10ft. (3 m) digging depth and a bucket digging force of 5,825 lbs. Business Wire photo The M62 offers contractors even greater The Kubota M62’s backhoe boasts a 14-ft. (4.2 m) maximum digging depth, making it an attractive option to buyers in the conexcavating ability than its predecessors, with struction and utility sectors.

Progress at a Price: At Least 1,000 Died on Canal Project

The Erie Canal, Lockport Flight Lockport, in Niagara Count, as it looks today. ERIE from page 24

Messenger while in a Canandaigua, N.Y., debtors prison in 1807. His articles, under the pen name of Hercules, envisioned a water route connecting Lake Erie with the Mohawk River above Albany. James Geddes, a self-taught surveyor, studied the proposed route for the New York legislature and pronounced it feasible in 1808. Sen. De Witt Clinton, former mayor of New York City (and a future governor), was an enthusiastic backer following a month-long expedition as part of a seven-man commission, which surveyed the route in 1810. In 1815, following the War of 1812, they petitioned the legislature, calling the canal “without parallel in the history of mankind.” More than 100,000 New Yorkers signed a petition supporting construction. The legislature passed a bill for building the canal in 1816. It authorized $7 million, which was equivalent of one fourth of the federal budget and was the largest public works project in the young nation’s history. Doubters called the undertaking “Clinton’s Folly,” but he foresaw its revolutionary impact on the entire country. Before the end of the century, he declared, the entire island of Manhattan would become the emporium of commerce “covered with inhabitants and replenished with a dense population.” The canal construction began with the groundbreaking on July 4. Citizens gathered around a wood stake labeled “No. 1 True Canal Line.” After canal commissioner Samuel Young lauded the project as “one of the grandest objects that ever has and perhaps ever will grace our nation,” a cannon boomed. Magistrate John Richardson, who was also a contractor, plunged a spade into the earth.

This was followed by a frenzy of flying dirt as everybody began digging. A few days later, several dozen workers began the real big dig — one group digging east, the other west. No modern bulldozers or excavators, just men, shovels, pick axes, oxen … and grit. The canal builders followed a path that survey teams had marked in 1816 using 66-ft.-long chains to mark where to place stakes. Readings of elevation, using levels, had to be precise within a fraction of an inch. Heading west from Rome, the initial 4-ft.-wide path cut through deep forest, thick brush, scrubland, quicksand and swamp, little of which had been cleared or settled. The first workers were often Welsh or German immigrants. These were joined by 5,000 Scotch-Irish immigrants, mostly Roman Catholic, from Northern Ireland. Some local farmers and African Americans also joined in. According to some estimates, about 15,000 men worked on the canal. About 1,500 Irishmen worked at the Lockport area. Malaria reportedly killed about 1,000 men in a 30mile stretch of Marshland west of Montezuma. Workers also contended with swamp snakes, poisonous plants, flies, mosquitoes and bedbugs. The men ate smoked pork and stale bread, supplemented by some game from the Oneida Indians who still lived in the area. How They Did It After their 1810 survey, Clinton and the other commissioners designed the canal as an inverted trapezoid 40 ft. wide at the top, 28 ft. wide at the bottom and 4 ft. deep. Locks would be 90 ft. long and 12 ft. deep, raising or lowsee ERIE page 92

In this circa 1890s photo, picnickers enjoy the afternoon with the Richmond aqueduct as a backdrop. This aqueduct carried the canal over the Seneca River at Montezuma (it also was called the Montezuma aqueduct.)

With the price point of the truck based on the niche and the size, you are getting so much more production and value for your dollar. It has the best fuel economy in the class — they literally sip fuel.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

Zoo Connector to Provide Visitors With Better Access to Park From U.S. 64 ZOO from page 1

Brothers Construction in Charleston, Tenn. The lead design firm is RK&K, the Baltimore-based engineering company with offices in Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte. A High-Speed Loop The bypass, which got underway last summer, is a 16.1mi. four-lane highway that runs from existing U.S. 64 west of town near Stutts Road, loops around to the south and then back to the northeast before connecting with the present highway on Asheboro’s east side at Dewey Road. Designers planned the Asheboro Bypass to keep traffic moving from one side of town to the other by giving drivers a controlled-access highway separated by a landscaped median. The project was spurred, however, by the state’s desire to make it easier for tourists to reach the ever-popular North Carolina Zoo, a powerful economic engine in the area. To help fuel that engine, the Asheboro Bypass also is part of a larger plan to upgrade the U.S. 64 and N.C. Highway 49 corridors. The U.S. 64 corridor being targeted runs from Statesville in the west to Raleigh in the east, while N.C. 49 goes northeast from Charlotte (through Asheboro) to Raleigh. On the Asheboro Bypass, interchanges are currently being graded or cleared at six points along the planned route: at both ends of the current U.S. 64, as well as at I-73/I-74 (the north-south U.S. 220 Bypass), N.C. highways 49 and 42, and at the highly-anticipated Zoo Connector, one of the key components of the project. The 1.8-mi.-long Zoo Connector will give zoo visitors better access to the park from the U.S. 64 Bypass straight to the zoo’s entrance via a roundabout. Another short connector road also will allow vehicles to utilize the current Zoo

Parkway (N.C. 159) to reach the brand-new Zoo Connector. According to Cary Fine, senior assistant resident engineer of the NCDOT’s Highway Division 8, the Zoo Connector will be the cherry on the top of the cake that is the Asheboro Bypass.

Enhanced Look of U.S. 64 Bypass Includes Drystack Stone Pattern ZOO from page 74

“The Zoo Connector is actually one of the last phases of the project,” he said. “Once the main part of the Bypass is done in that area, we can begin on the Connector. I would think that work will begin in mid-2018.”

the project and Cat had machines to assist in that, too. A 330D excavator equipped with a thumb was spied breaking up rock near the middle of the new route in a 60-ft. cut. At yet another site near the eastern end of the bypass, early bridge work was progressing at two places within a quartermile of one another. A concrete pour was scheduled for that afternoon at a bridge site over Vestal Creek southeast of Asheboro and just before that, a Link-Belt LS 138 crawler crane was seen moving buckets of concrete into place. The crane was owned by APAC-Atlantic, Fine said. “This is currently a really spread out project, but it will soon slowly start coming together,” he said. “Once all of our utility relocations are out of the way, which has been a mas-

Several Worksites in Action Crews are currently working to clear and grade the sites for the interchanges, as well as for 18 bridge structures and six box culverts, Fine added. “We are at the point now [July 5] where we have only cleared what is necessary just to get to these bridge and culvert sites,” he said. “Right now we have about 10,000 yards of concrete in our bridge structures and in our culverts. That work is ongoing, but we are about to wrap up the work on the culverts. Thus far we have moved about 1.2 million yards of earth in a little under a year.” A tour of the various job sites revealed a tremendous amount of heavy-equipment grading and drilling going on in early July. At the western end of the project, for instance, several Komatsu PC1250 mass excavators brought in by Wright Brothers were working alongside the current and busy two-lane U.S. 64. They were joined by several other machines from different makers, including loaders, offroad trucks and motor graders, many of which were Caterpillar brands. That included Cat 16H graders and Cat D6K skid steers. Nearby, parked in a row, were five huge 100ton Cat 777B haul trucks ready for action. The Asheboro Bypass is part of a larger plan to upgrade the U.S. “I have never seen a truck that large working 64 and N.C. Highway 49 corridors. on a project around here before,” Fine said. “Wright Brothers is using them as it is in charge of the grad- sive chore, and the right-of-way acquisitions are complete — ing. Right now, the majority of the Asheboro Bypass work is as well as the box culvert and bridge structure work — it will theirs. Each day we typically have the 777s running this rock become a more cohesive project.” He went on to say that crews have only cleared what is and doing the excavations and they soon should be bringing necessary just to get to the bridge and culvert sites. As the on more of these machines.” land is opened up further the rest of this year, the mass hauling will only increase.

Summit Supply Releases New Rubber Track Tread Pattern for Equipment Summit Supply LLC of Asbury, N.J., continues to expand its line of rubber tracks for construction equipment with the release of the “Zig-Zag” tread pattern. The Zig-Zag pattern is the result of extensive research and development resulting in Summit’s most versatile rubber track offering, according to the manufacturer. Engineered with Summit’s proprietary non-directional tread pattern, the Zig-Zag pattern offers enhanced traction and virtually eliminates slippage both forward and backward, while minimizing machine vibration and turf scarring. Deep, angled edge-recesses provide added traction in snow, mud and clay. The “inter-void” lug structure provides self-clearing of site debris, thus maximizing overall track and undercarriage service life. Summit’s Zig-Zag pattern introduces proprietary surface voids, which effectively combine the benefits of traditional

straight-bar and multi-bar rubber tracks. “Summit Supply’s straight-bar and multi-bar tracks have been incredibly well received by thousands of dealers and end-users throughout the years,” said Eric Druckenmiller, general manager of Summit Supply. “We are confident that the addition of Summit’s cutting-edge Zig-Zag pattern will further cement our position as the leader of the construction wear parts industry.” For more information, call 888/888-1248 or visit www.summitrubbertracks.com.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY (AP) Two European development banks financing construction of a controversial dam project in Honduras have pulled out following the murders of local activists including Berta Caceres, a 2015 winner of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize. The Netherlands Development Finance Institution and the Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation said in a joint statement July 6 that the decision to halt their involvement in the Agua Zarca dam was reached after extensive local and international consultations. The statement said the banks believe the dam would be a positive development for nearby communities and the Central American nation. They expressed hope that a dialogue will

emerge in which local stakeholders decide whether they want the project. “The lenders’ exit from the project is intended to reduce international and local tensions in the area,” it read. Caceres, a 40-year-old activist who was awarded the Goldman prize for leading a years-long fight against the dam, was killed in March 2016 by gunmen who invaded her home. The dam was to be built on the Gualcarque River, considered sacred by Caceres’ Lenca people. Two weeks later another activist from her indigenous organization known as Copinh, Nelson Garcia, was killed. And last July the body of another Copinh activist, Lesbia Janeth Urquia, was found. Among those arrested in Caceres’ killing was a security employee working on behalf of dam developer Desarrollos Energeticos SA, or DESA. However, in announcing their with-

drawal, the development banks said “no proven connection has been established between DESA and allegations regarding any illegality.” The London-based environmental rights organization Global Witness applauded the decision but criticized the lenders for not acting earlier. “These same investors were silent when dozens of death threats were made against (Caceres). ... Investors have a duty to speak out when activists opposing their projects are threatened,” Global Witness campaign leader Billy Kyte said in a statement. The organization says Honduras is the world’s most dangerous country per capita for environmental activists, with 120 of them murdered since 2010.

Cannons Boom to Mark Erie Canal Completion in 1825 ERIE from page 68

ering a boat 8 ft. (On the “downhill” run from Lake Erie to Albany, the water level dropped one foot per mile.) The first boats were 61 ft. long, 7 ft. wide and 3.5 ft. deep and carried up to 30 tons of freight. The canal was built in three sections. It included 18 aqueducts crossing ravines and rivers, and 83 locks with a rise of 568 ft. from the Hudson River to Lake Erie. Horses and/or mules pulled the boats from a 10-ft.wide towpath along the bank. Mule drivers were called “hoggees.” One of the biggest obstacles was a rock cliff more than 70 ft. high near Niagara Falls. Engineer Nathan Roberts conquered this through a series of five double locks. Each of these two-way locks provided one lane for boats moving in one direction and another for the opposite direction. Called the “flight of five,” this feat gained world attention. The aqueducts crossed rivers, creeks and deep ravines. The one across the Genesee River at Rochester, more than 800 ft. long, was built of huge stones, each quarried and shaped by hand. Canal workers toiled 12 to 15 hours a day. Besides shovels, they used horse-drawn blades, called slip scrapers, to move earth. (These were early tries at bulldozers.) They lined the sides of the canal with stone set in clay, and lined the bottom with clay. They felled trees by throwing ropes over the tops and winching them down. To remove stumps, they used oxen which pulled ropes wrapped around a center wheel. Hundreds of German masons worked on the Niagara Escarpment. The full canal was completed on Oct. 26, 1825. Marking the occasion, Clinton led a flotilla of boats on the canal from Buffalo to Albany, and then south to New York City on the Hudson. Cannons boomed in salute every 10 miles. More than 100,000 cheering people crowded the shores as Clinton’s boat, the Seneca Chief, reached Manhattan.

Double locks in Syracuse, N.Y.

The aqueduct over the Genesee River in Rochester.

Clinton carried a keg of water from Lake Erie. After a brief speech to assembled dignitaries on the prow of his boat, he poured the water into the Atlantic. The ceremony, symbolizing the successful eight-year effort, was called “the marriage of the waters.” The canal was enlarged to 70 ft. wide and 7 ft. deep between 1836 and 1862 to keep pace with traffic. The state enlarged it again in the early 1900s to 14 feet deep and 120 to 200 ft. wide. Today, it’s mostly used for recreational boating. But today, the song, and the memories, remain. Low bridge, everybody down Low bridge, we’re coming to a town. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

Sen. De Witt Clinton, former mayor of New York City (and a future governor), was an enthusiastic backer following a month-long expedition as part of a seven-man commission, which surveyed the route in 1810. Here, he tours the canal in 1825.

We will be installing a 13-acre retention pond, four (4) replicated drainage test plots, a bio-reactor and buffer strip, and approximately five (5) acres of drainage which will feed into the bio-reactor and buffer strip. This will be Greenley Research Center’s 40th Annual Field Day. In previous years, 300 – 400 landowners have toured the site to learn about the latest research results. With the addition of the new construction practices, we are hoping that this year’s event will draw even more! Thanks for your support!
