Dubbed “the newest aquarium in the nation’s oldest city,” the St. Augustine Aquarium will serve as one of Florida’s splashiest tourist attractions once construction is complete. The privately-funded, $8 million dollar project consists of 250,000 gallons of indoor and outdoor marine exhibits, including a snorkel adventure, zip line, shipwreck reef tank, stingray encounter and other smaller exhibits. More than 70 species and 1,000 fish will be housed in the new state-of-the-art facility. “This project is very important to my wife, Kathy, and me because it represents our passion — the underwater world and how to conserve it,” said Shawn Hiester, aquarium owner and founder. “I’m an avid scuba diver and Kathy is a biologist. We used to watch episodes of Seahunt and The Underwater World of Jacques Cousteau as kids. This project is the fulfillment of our life-long dreams to own an aquarium and share it with others.” The project will feature an interactive 80,000-gallon snorkel adventure habitat, which will be a re-creation of the Florida reef environment, including stingrays and hundreds of fish. While some visitors will make use of clear acrylic view windows, others can

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) While Congress remains stalled on a long-term plan for funding highways, state lawmakers and governors aren’t waiting around. Nearly one-third of the states have approved measures this year that could collectively raise billions of dollars through higher fuel taxes, vehicle fees and bonds to repair old bridges and roads and relieve traffic congestion, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. The surge of activity means at least half of the states — from coast to coast, in both Republican and Democratic areas — now have passed transportation funding measures since 2013. And the movement may not be done yet. Tennessee’s governor made a 15-city tour highlighting the state’s transportation needs. North Carolina lawmakers are debating a road-bonding proposal. And legislators are returning to work in California and Michigan with transportation funding on the agenda. “I don’t know of a state that’s not having the conversation’’ about raising revenue for transportation, said Iowa Transportation Director Paul Trombino III, who is vice president of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and whose home state recently raised fuel taxes by 10 cents a gallon. The widespread focus on transportation funding comes as state officials are becoming frustrated by federal inaction in see REPAIRS page 82

Campaign Aims to Interest Families in Industry By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT

Launched last spring in Chicago, the “Born to Build” campaign initiated by Chicago’s Ozinga Bros. Inc., plans are already in the works to initiate a second phase of the advertising

campaign. Partnered with creative agency Cultivate Studios, the goal of the campaign is to “honor and celebrate” the American construction worker and those in construction-related trades. Ozinga Bros., a fourth-generation family-owned business founded in 1928 on the south side of

Chicago, a ready mix concrete producer and supplier, is currently run by five brothers and a cousin. The family is covering the cost of the campaign and is pleased with the results. “It’s a significant investment and the message has been received well and is spreading,”

said Tim Ozinga, co-owner and the firm’s marketing communications director, “and we have a lot of people that we are talking to that are interested in participating with us in the next campaign. I was most surprised by the reaction on Facebook. We posted the see CAMPAIGN page 34

VDOT Embarks on $31.5M Project Unemployment to Replace Bridge Near Pentagon Falls to Lowest Aug. By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

lions on the bridge’s gateway pillars honoring the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. “One of the biggest challenges for this project is certainly the volume of traffic on this major artery,” said Jennifer McCord of VDOT. “There are more than 71,500 vehicles per day on Washington Boulevard and more than 61,500 vehicles per day on Jefferson Davis Highway at the project location. Coupling this traffic volume with the bridge’s urban, high-profile location adjacent to the Pentagon, monitoring the impacts to commuters is a major priority. Our project team is working very closely with the Pentagon Police on a daily basis to ensure that traffic to this extremely important headquarters and beyond moves as smoothly as possible during construction.” In addition, McCord noted that the work space is very tight on the 74-year-old bridge. Traffic was reduced from three lanes to two in each direction on Washington Boulevard to allow crews room to replace and widen the

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) recently began a bridge replacement project near the Pentagon in Arlington County, Va. The $31.5 million project replaces the Route 27 (Washington Boulevard) bridge over Route 110 (Jefferson Davis Highway). Currently, the existing bridge carries three lanes of traffic in each direction and has a concrete sidewalk on each side and a 6-ft.-wide (1.8 m) concrete raised median. The bridge was built in 1941 and is considered structurally deficient. The project was awarded to Judlau Contracting Inc. and work began in March 2015. Completion is expected by May 2018. The contract calls for the bridge to be widened to accommodate a 14-ft. (4.3 m) shared-use path on the east side, and an 8-ft. (2.4 m) sidewalk on the west. The superstructure will be replaced and widened, increasing the length of the bridge to 470 ft. (143.3 m) by reconfiguring the end spans. The new bridge superstructure also will be raised by more than 1.5 ft. (.45 m), increasing vertical clearance for westbound Route 110 to 16.75 ft. (5.1 m). The existing slab vault structure behind the abutments will be completely replaced by two new piers and abutments, adding an additional span at each end of the bridge. The new bridge superstructure will be shallower than the existing bridge superstructure, increasing the westbound Route 110 vertical clearance from 15 ft., 4 in. (4.7 m) to 17 ft. (5.2 m). $31.5 million project replaces the Route 27 (Washington The bridge’s new aesthetics will reportedly The Boulevard) bridge over Route 110 (Jefferson Davis Highway). include decorative wrought-iron picket fencing, Currently, the existing bridge carries three lanes of traffic in each LED road and pedestrian lighting, gateway pil- direction and has a concrete sidewalk on each side and a 6-ft.lars, and a recessed concrete pattern on the para- wide (1.8 m) concrete raised median.

structurally deficient bridge. VDOT plans to maintain a minimum of two lanes in each direction on both Routes 27 and 110, other than temporary night closures to install bridge girders. Pedestrian traffic will be shifted to a temporary bridge in 2016. In the early stages of the project, crews are using smaller equipment such as excavators, small aerial lifts to work under the bridge, and Bobcats. They will be using cranes and drill equipment as construction progresses. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

Level Since 2001 The number of unemployed workers with construction experience dropped to the lowest total for August since 2001, as hiring slowed despite robust demand for construction, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials cautioned that the hiring slowdown likely has more to do with the lack of available workers in many parts of the country than it does low demand. “The recent slowdown in construction hiring appears to reflect difficulty in finding qualified employees rather than lack of projects needing workers,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “The pool of qualified construction workers will need to expand if firms are going to be able to keep pace with rising construction demand.” Construction employment totaled 6.388 million in August, the most since February 2009, but the total rose by only 3,000 in August and by an average of only 6,800 per month over the past six months, Simonson noted. In the previous six months, construction employment had risen by an average of 29,700 per month. Meanwhile, the number of unemployed workers who reported last working in construction totaled 525,000, the lowest August amount since 2001. “Hiring has slowed to a crawl in the past six months even though contractors have raised wages at the fastest rate in six years and spending on most types of structures has accelerated,” Simonson said. “Other indicators — such as rising architectural and engineering employment and permits for both single- and multi-family housing — suggest demand for construction will remain strong, but contractors may have difficulty finding enough workers to take on all those projects.” Average hourly earnings in construction increased 2.8 percent from August 2014 to August 2015, up from 2.1 percent in the previous 12 months, a sign that contractors are raising pay to attract more workers, Simonson said. Employment at architectural and engineering services firms climbed by 3.0 percent since August 2014, suggesting that more workers are being hired to design future construction projects, the economist pointed out. Construction spending put in place — a measure of current industry activity — jumped 14 percent from July 2014 to July 2015, the Census Bureau reported on Sept. 1. Permits for new residential construction increased by 7.5 percent over that period, Census reported on Aug. 18. Association officials urged Congressional leaders to focus on increasing funding for career and technical education programs when they return to Washington after Labor Day. They also called on federal, state and local officials to act on other measures included in the association’s Workforce Development Plan that are designed to reinvigorate the pipeline for recruiting and preparing future construction professionals. “Government officials need to stop giving short shrift to high school career and technical education programs or risk depriving students of significant and growing job opportunities,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “There is nothing wrong with preparing students to make above-average salaries in construction careers.” For more information, visit www.agc.org.

Highway Bill…

Steve DePriest…

Lawmakers Face Weighty List of Takeuchi Names Unfinished Business, Pending Deadlines Southeast Regional By Andrew Taylor and Alan Fram ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) Congress returned on Sept. 8 with a critical need for a characteristic rarely evident through a contentious spring and summer — cooperation between Republicans and President Barack Obama. Lawmakers face a weighty list of unfinished business and looming deadlines, including a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open beyond Sept. 30. The most intractable issues — a solution to a yearlong battle over agency budgets and a deal on a long-sought highway bill — have been kicked to the fall. “It’s going to take a sense of give and take on both sides,’’ said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. “The big deal will be, ‘Can you come to a deal on transportation, debt ceiling and avoiding sequester?’ So a large budget deal will determine, I think, whether or not we’ve really been successful.’’ Automatic budget cuts called sequestration are the result of a hard-fought deal Obama signed in a 2011. GOP leaders are playing down talk of a government shutdown that’s being driven by conservatives determined to use the spending legislation to strip funds from Planned Parenthood. The organization is under intense scrutiny after secretly recorded videos raised uncomfortable questions about its practices in procuring research tissue from aborted fetuses. Cole said passing a short-term spending bill will not be “a contention-free exercise.’’ The first days for Congress will be marked by a fierce debate over the nuclear deal with Iran that Republicans insist makes too many concessions to Tehran. Democrats have rallied behind the president and have already demonstrated they have the votes to sustain a promised Obama veto of a resolution disapproving the hard-won agreement. Also on the crowded fall agenda are efforts to increase the government’s borrowing authority and avoid a first-ever federal default; extend some 50 tax breaks; pass a defense policy bill that Obama has threatened to veto; and renew the Federal Aviation Administration’s authority to spend money. A historic address to Congress by Pope Francis on Sept. 24 promises a welcome respite from the partisanship that has gripped the Capitol for most of the year. Some tea party lawmakers say they will back legislation to keep the government open in the new budget year, which begins Oct. 1, only if the measure also terminates Planned Parenthood’s federal money — even if their battle with Obama over the issue should spiral into a government shutdown. “I’m for doing everything’’ to halt funds for Planned Parenthood, said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. “There is no way they can get taxpayer support.’’ Conservative groups such as Heritage Action are backing the strategy, though establishment anti-abortion organizations aren’t throwing their influence behind it. Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the powerful National Right to Life Committee, said recently that while

blocking Planned Parenthood’s funds “makes sense,’’ the Senate lacks the votes to do so and abortions would continue anyway. He said lawmakers should also focus on bills halting abortions. “We just don’t have the votes to get the outcome that we’d like,’’ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told a Kentucky television station. He called ending Planned Parenthood’s funding “another issue that awaits a new president.’’ Past efforts to use must-pass funding bills to block Obama’s health care law and his executive actions on immigration have failed badly, with the heath law dispute resulting in a partial government shutdown in 2013. As a result, House GOP leaders are considering separate legislation this month cutting Planned Parenthood’s funds and reversing the health overhaul, according to a GOP aide and a lobbyist. They hope such a bill, which would advance free of a filibuster threat by Senate Democrats, would satisfy Planned Parenthood’s opponents and free up the temporary government funding bill. Obama would be certain to veto such a bill, but it would allow Republicans to vote for those changes and underscore the need for a GOP president to institute them. Facing demands for negotiations to lift domestic agency budgets hit by the return of automatic spending cuts, McConnell has signaled that he is open to talks on a deal that would pair increases for domestic programs with budget relief for the Pentagon.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) Roving construction crews — the kind you see blacktopping a road, painting lines, inspecting a bridge or installing a traffic signal — are often protected from oncoming traffic by a specialized truck outfitted with a crash barrier. The crash trucks, fitted with a device called a truckmounted attenuator, have been credited with saving lives. But the workers who drive them are inevitably placed in harm’s way, “literally waiting to be struck,’’ said Robert Roy, president of Royal Truck & Equipment Inc. in Coopersburg. On Aug. 24, Royal demonstrated its new driverless crash truck that it hopes will some day improve safety at work zones around the country. Two of the autonomous vehicles will make their debut at highway construction sites in Florida by the end of the year under a state Department of Transportation demonstration program. “Any time a driver can be removed from these vehicles in a very dangerous situation, and if the vehicle’s struck, there’s nobody inside of it to receive the damage or the injuries, that’s measuring success,’’ Roy said. Truck-mounted attenuators have been around for 30 years. One study, published this year in the Journal of the Transportation Research Board, found they cut work-zone injuries and fatalities from rear-end crashes nearly in half.

Radio Ad Campaign Calls for Action on Multi-Year Highway, Public Transit Bill

The Transportation Construction Coalition launched a new radio advertising campaign Aug. 25 aimed at members of the House of Representatives about the importance of fixing the Highway Trust Fund and passing a multi-year highway and public transit investment bill. The 30second radio spot ran on the hometown radio stations of 16 key members of the House Ways & Means Committee and House Transportation (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment & Infrastructure Committee. With the fund being the source, on Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) average, of 52 percent of highway and bridge capital investments made annually by state transportation departments, the ads highlight the imporon tance of the program to the states. The ad aimed at Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.) for example, says: “About 55 percent of Wisconsin’s annual capital investment in highways

There is considerable interest in autonomous truckmounted attenuators, both for their potential to reduce risk and as a way to save on labor costs, one of the study’s authors, Gerald Ullman of Texas A&M’s Transportation Institute, said. “Connected and autonomous vehicles in general are viewed as the future of surface transportation, and this technology may be one of the first ways in which it gets commercialized,’’ he said. Google and traditional car companies have been developing self-driving vehicles, while Daimler Trucks North America LLC recently demonstrated the first self-driving tractor-trailer to be licensed on public roads. Daimler said it would be years before a self-driving truck hits the market. In the demonstration, a lead truck beamed information to Royal’s attenuator truck. The crash truck followed the lead truck around the parking lot of Bethlehem’s municipal swimming pool, perfectly mimicking its movements, speed and braking. Royal, the nation’s largest manufacturer of truck-mounted attenuators, is partnering on the driverless crash trucks with Micro Systems Inc. of Fort Walton Beach, Fla., which supplies unmanned vehicles to the military and developed the technology. Royal said the terms of the agreement with Florida’s transportation department are still being negotiated.

and bridges depends on federal funding. But Congress has not yet passed a long-term highway bill. That puts our funding at risk and hurts our state’s ability to plan mobility and safety improvements. Tell Congressman Paul Ryan it’s time for the House of Representatives to get a long-term highway bill passed NOW! Wisconsin depends on it.” The ad also will run in the districts of these members: • Rep. Rick Crawford (Ark.) • Rep. Devin Nunes (Calif.) • Rep. Lynn Jenkins (Kan.) • Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) • Rep. Garret Graves (La.) • Rep. Jason Smith (Mo.) • Rep. Adrian Smith (Neb.) • Rep. Mark Meadows (N.C.) • Rep. George Holding (N.C.) • Rep. David Rouzer (N.C.) • Rep. Kristi Noem (S.D.)

• Rep. Diane Black (Tenn.) • Rep. Blake Farenthold (Texas) • Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) • Rep. Mark Sanford (S.C.) Coalition officials noted that the radio ads areas are just the latest in a series of advertisements the group has secured to pressure Congress into action. The group ran television, radio and digital ads back in June to keep the pressure on Congress to act. Coalition officials say they will continue with advertising and grassroots outreach until the House of Representatives passes a multi-year surface transportation bill. The Senate passed its version of the bill, the DRIVE Act, on July 31 by a vote of 65-34.

Whitfield County Finds Success Patching Potholes At the conclusion of a recent quarterly meeting and luncheon of the northwest Georgia branch of the APWA (American Public Works Association), the Whitfield County Georgia Public Works Department held a demonstration of its Stepp Manufacturing SRM asphalt recycler. A great turnout of public works professionals made it to the Dalton Convention Center in Dalton, Ga., to see the demo and the process for efficiently patching potholes in any weather condition. Whitfield County has experienced tremendous success with this machine since the company purchased it new from Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, based in Forest Park, Ga. DeWayne Hunt, Whitfield County public works director, said they’ve had the machine for just over a year. “The advantage of this machine is the 24/7, 365 time frame that it can be used. If we have a pothole anytime of the day, anytime of the year, we can get to it, cut it out, compact some base, heat the mix up-using recycled milled asphalt from the local plant and deliver to anywhere we need it in the county. Our local asphalt plant does not run every day, especially during the winter months. We blend the millings from the asphalt plant with a small quantity of AC tack to create our mix and the unit also has a wand to spray tack around the edge of our cut to obtain a good bond with the existing see POTHOLES page 80

Public works professionals gather for a demonstration of pothole patching using a Stepp Manufacturing asphalt recycler at the Dalton Convention Center in Dalton, Ga.

Milled material is fed into the hopper of the Stepp asphalt recycler through a conveyor and makes a half ton of fresh hot mix asphalt for the start of the demonstration process.

Base material is compacted and made ready for the asphalt “topping.”

A Gradall XL 4100 is used for placement of base material.

“Surge Rock” from a local quarry is the preferred product to use as a base for Whitfield County Public Works.

A hot mix of asphalt from the Stepp asphalt recycler is placed on top of the base material.

Final compaction of the asphalt and the patching is complete.

Driven by a strategic focus in the agricultural industry, Thompson Agriculture, a division of Thompson Machinery, announced it has contracted the rights to sell Massey Ferguson products in Columbus, Miss. The agreement extends Thompson’s equipment portfolio that also includes Challenger tractors, Sunflower tillage equipment and White Planters, and strengthens its partnership with AGCO Corporation. “We are excited to incorporate the Massey product line within our Ag division, especially the compact and utility tractors,” said John Thompson, vice president of sales. “Traditionally, we have focused on customer segments with higher horsepower demands. However, the Massey products complement our existing offerings for both new and existing customers with overlapping needs. This addition enhances our alignment within the marketplace for agricultural equipment.” The Massey Ferguson product line offers sub-compact tractors that start at 22 horsepower, up to high horsepower row crop tractors at 290 horsepower, a complete line of hay and forage equipment, and implements. “The ability to offer small farm tractors positions Thompson to compete with other manufacturers, such as Kubota, Mahindra and John Deere,” said Thompson. “With our existing Caterpillar prod-

uct line, Massey makes Thompson a one-stop shop.” Although the industry is experiencing a tough year with low commodity prices, Thompson continues to focus on strengthening its position as a major player in the Ag market. Over the last three years, Thompson has invested more than $10 million in new stores located in Tupelo and Boyle, and has plans to spend upwards of $3 million over the next six months expanding its Columbus location. “Investing in brick-and-mortar is essential to serving our customers’ needs,” said De Thompson V, president and CEO of Thompson Machinery. “We are also very excited to grow in areas where city and state officials are willing to invest in the city’s infrastructure and they are capable of attracting new business to the area. Investing in Mississippi is a high priority for Thompson.” Thompson Machinery recently celebrated its 71st year as a Caterpillar dealer. Additional product line offerings include Challenger tractors, Lexion combines, Sunflower tillage equipment and White planters, along with auxiliary equipment from Horsch, MacDon and Unverferth.

Asia’s Lack of Infrastructure Could Bring Economic Growth to Grinding Halt By Teresa Cerojano and Joe McDonald ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA, Philippines (AP) Looking out at bumper-tobumper Monday morning traffic crawling along the Philippine capital’s main avenue, taxi driver Ranilo Banez shook his head in frustration. Congestion has gotten so bad as the economy grew, he said, that a 6 mi. (10 km) trip that once took 30 minutes can stretch to two hours. “We lose so much,’’ said Banez. “We waste a lot of gasoline and time.’’ The Philippines is far from alone. The outpouring of support for a Chinese-led bank to finance infrastructure highlights a gap in Asia’s success story: From power-starved India to Thailand’s overburdened railways, developing economies face a shortage of basic facilities so severe that it threatens to hold back growth and living standards. Manila and other cities are choked with construction sites for office and apartment towers. But spending on roads, railways and other unglamorous but essential infrastructure collapsed after the 1997 financial crisis and has yet to recover. “The catch-up they need to do is still considerable,’’ said Ramesh Subramaniam, director general of the ADB’s Southeast Asia department. If spending fails to pick up, “then this could possibly have an impact on future growth,’’ he said. “Certainly it is going to reduce the competitiveness of the countries in the region.’’ That gap has given Beijing a chance to assert its ambition to be a regional leader and fueled a diplomatic alms race. On top of its planned infrastructure bank, which 57 countries want to join, the government of President Xi Jinping has launched initiatives to improve road, rail and sea links. Japan joined Washington in staying away from the Chinese bank. Instead, Tokyo responded in June by announcing its own credit package of $110 billion for the region. The Asian Development Bank has estimated developing Asian economies need to invest $8 trillion in the decade through 2020 or some 80 times the planned $100 billion capital of Beijing’s bank. India is set to pass China this year as the world’s fastestgrowing big economy. To keep that up, its government said, the nation of 1.2 billion people needs to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure in the five years through 2017. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called in May for India to speed up building “all projects that will ensure a modern infrastructure backbone.’’ India’s most ambitious initiative is the $100 billion DelhiMumbai Industrial Corridor Project. It calls for creating seven industrial cities, high-speed railways, six airports and three sea ports. Nationwide, the government said India needs 450 new coal-fired power plants. It also plans a $10.2 billion highspeed train to link Mumbai, the financial capital, with Ahmedabad, an industrial city to the north. In Vietnam, the ruling Communist Party in June approved a proposal for a $15.8 billion second airport for its business capital, Ho Chi Minh City. To meet power demand that rises by 10 percent a year, state media say Vietnam needs to spend $50 billion in the decade through 2020 and another $75 billion over the next decade. They put Vietnam’s spending needs for highways at $22.5 billion in 2015-20. Thailand has a $92 billion building plan for 2015-22 that

includes high-speed train routes that eventually will stretch from China in the north through Malaysia in the south to Singapore. It calls for expanding seaports and Bangkok’s commuter trains. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III in May approved $1.4 billion in spending for seven projects including commuter rail in Manila, upgrading 211 mi. (339 km) of national roads and irrigation for 175,000 acres (70,000 ha) of farmland. Bjorn Pardo, founder and CEO of Xend, a delivery company in the Philippines with 250 employees, said it copes with congestion by using custom-outfitted motorcycles instead of trucks. “The traffic situation will not get significantly better anytime soon,’’ said Pardo in an email. The Philippines ranks 95th out of 144 countries on a World Economic Forum survey of infrastructure quality. Its 2011-16 development plan promises to reduce the number of homes without access to power and running water and build ports, railways, power plants and cargo terminals. “Our priority will be energy,’’ said Benjamin Diokno, an economist at the University of the Philippines and former Cabinet secretary. “The urban rail system is also pressing. The railway system from north to south is pressing. Everything is pressing.’’ The Asian Development Bank said if the required facilities are built, the region’s people could get an extra $4.5 trillion in income in the decade through 2020 and another $8.5 trillion after that. Many have yet to work out how to pay for those projects. Before the 1997 crisis, public works spending in many developing Asian economies was equal to 6 to 8 percent of annual economic output. Post-crisis, that tumbled to as little as 2 percent. It dipped below 1 percent in the Philippines in 2010. Today, it is below 3 percent in Indonesia, Pakistan and other economies — less than half the level the ADB says is needed to support growth at current levels. In the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, courier Yusuf Abdillah complained he loses two hours a day in traffic jams that can stretch up to 5 mi. “I’m fed up,’’ said Abdillah. “The government is being irresponsible.’’ Many governments want to draw in money from pension funds, insurance companies and other private investors. The Philippines hopes encouraging private investment will help boost infrastructure spending from 3.4 percent of gross domestic product this year to 5 percent next year, according to Economic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan. But many projects have yet to be structured as profit-oriented ventures to repay investors. And investors are wary of political interference and potential delays over environmental and other concerns. China has pledged to supply most of the initial $50 billion in capital for its Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. In June, governments including Britain, New Zealand, France, Australia and South Korea signed an agreement on the bank’s basic principles. Still, the ADB’s Subramaniam said the region’s total spending is likely to be less than half the amount required. “The continuing unmet needs clearly indicate we need more resources and different ways of structuring projects,’’ he said.

Acquiring Good Workers…

Five Strategies to Finding (and Hiring) the Best Employees By Jeff Winke CEG CORRESPONDENT

Attracting good, smart employees is a challenge. In a way, the odds are against finding the best, because stereotypes persist. Ask any high school guidance counselor why they don’t recommend a career in construction to their top students and the reasons fall short of today’s technologically advanced, entrepreneurial, software-saturated contractor. The same thing is true with the average person on the street. Ask them to describe what a construction contractor is like and the response will more likely resemble the Neanderthal exhibit at the museum. “Hiring good employees today means breaking through stereotypes or sneaking around them to reach the good candidates you need,” said Ann Torry, vice president of marketing of BirdDogHR, a talent management service based in Des Moines, Iowa, that serves the construction market. “To do this means looking at the recruitment methods that have been used and refreshing some, reinventing others, and tossing out the ineffectual ones.” Here are five ideas to consider. (1) Create excitement in your ad: “Do you like working outside, thinking on your feet, and operating a piece of advanced technology?” sounds more exciting than “Wanted: bulldozer operator.” Shift the emphasis from a standard job description to the skills, interests and passion needed in the business. (2) Use social media: Post your employee needs on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Plaxo and Twitter. If you’re hoping to hire anyone under the age of 40, social media will

get you there faster. (3) Use local employment job boards and Web sites: Most medium to large cities will have a commercial jobs/positions open site that connects job seekers with potential employers. Don’t ignore Craigslist, which is localized to cities all over the United States (and much of the world for that matter). The only bugaboo with Craigslist is they currently don’t have a category (yet!) for Construction, so construction openings are found under Architect/Engineer or General Labor. Post your ad on Monster, Workhands, Big Shoes and any other sites you can find. (4) Network with career counselors, civic groups, and social service agencies: Good, smart employees can come from anywhere, but it may require some educating of your sources. To do this, create a simple recruitment kit with these three elements: (1) Who We Are, (2) What We Do, and (3) What Kind of Employees We Need. This should be a small pdf that can be emailed to contacts after you talk to them or meet with them. Make a point to reach out to someone new weekly who can be added to your database. Call and introduce yourself to a high school guidance counselor one week, the president of the local chamber of commerce the next week, the head of the Hispanic or African-American or Asian chamber of commerce the next week and continue reaching out to the community opinion leaders, elected officials, and the movers and shakers in your locale. The goal is build a referral network that you can send out job notices when they arise along with a note that says: “Make sure that any candidate you send me uses your name as the referral — so I know that I’m receiving a high-quality candidate.” That

kind of note puts them on notice that who they refer will reflect on them. (5) Use technology to your advantage: Save time by carefully screening the pile of resumes and/or applications you receive. Every rejected candidate deserves a sincere and clear email that says they will not be hired but thank them for their interest. Include a brief “elevator-speech-length” description of the company. You want to leave a positive impression of the company. Today’s rejected candidate could be tomorrow’s customer, influencer or employee. Follow up the email with a mailed letter that says the same thing. A mailed letter is classy and unexpected. It reaches them through a different channel and is designed to leave them with a positive sense of the company. If this sounds like a grueling task, there is HR software available that can help automate these processes with templates and a few mouse clicks and document the communication with applicants. With select candidates, conduct a Skype or FaceTime interview for initial screening. It saves time and provides a visual impression of the candidates. These digital communication services are easy to use and can help confirm or screen out candidates before bringing them in for a face-to-face interview. The very best candidates deserve an in-person interview. “It’s clear that in today’s market recruiting the best employees requires smart thinking and effort on the part of the hiring construction contractor,” said Torry. “Investing in value, will yield valuable results.”

D-Mar General Contracting Analyzes Labor Shortage Recent reports on national employment and building trends reveal that the construction industry is facing an imminent talent shortage. Certified general contractor Doreen DiPolito, owner and president of DMar General Contracting and Development in Tampa Bay, Fla., advises construction and contracting firms to act quickly to address the coming worker shortfall before it hampers their ability to complete new projects. She envisions more women in construction as a way to address the dearth of skilled labor, and she outlines the advantages of hiring female workers for these traditionally male-dominated occupations. iCIMS, a firm specializing in talent acquisition solutions, asserts that the construction industry is facing the second largest talent shortage of all industries nationwide (second only to the pharmaceutical industry) with just 94 applicants per 100 jobs, while the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) recently added construction labor to its list of “commodities in short supply.” Meanwhile, demand for skilled workers continues to grow; the U.S. Department of Commerce reported that permits to build new homes were up 30 percent and housing starts up nearly 27 percent in June 2015 compared to the previous year. In addition, nationwide

construction spending reached $1.065 trillion in June 2015 — a 12 percent increase over 2014 and the fastest rate of growth in seven years. Overall employment of construction laborers will grow 25 percent from 2012 to 2022 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. The U.S. Department of Labor features several such jobs in its list of “In-Demand, Higher-Paying Occupations” for 2010 to 2020, forecasting nearly 20 percent job growth for carpenters, 35 percent for cement masons/concrete finishers, and 40 percent for brickmasons/blockmasons. Yet these career fields have the lowest percentage of female workers, at one percent or less. DiPolito maintains that the low proportion of women in construction has significant repercussions for the industry. “Construction and contracting companies are finding it increasingly difficult to fill their job openings. Unless they find a new source of skilled labor, their ability to start or complete new projects is at risk,” DiPolito said. “Employers need to realize that women represent a huge untapped labor force in this

industry, and encouraging them to pursue construction careers is an ideal solution to the talent shortage.” Despite the low proportion of women in construction and contracting jobs, DiPolito notes that females have been making inroads

to problem solving, and may propose solutions men might not have considered. • Many women are adept at tasks requiring precision, which is usually more important than physical strength in construction jobs. • Women are great team-builders, with a talent for fostering cooperation and consensus. • Women affect the work atmosphere in a positive way, bringing new skills and perspectives to the team. “Our industry can benefit tremendously by supporting women in construction, which will also help address the skilled labor shortage,” said DiPolito. “Likewise, women need to recognize this field offers Doreen DiPolito excellent growth potential and good D-Mar General Contracting and Development pay.

‘Born to Build’ Campaign Celebrates Construction Trade CAMPAIGN from page 1

campaign commercial on there, with some supporting promotion, and the video has been viewed over 240,000 times and it was shared and liked by thousands. “There are also a ton of comments from trades people across the country affirming the message,” he added. “They felt like the campaign spoke to them directly and clearly there was an outpouring of pride, ownership, and excitement that somebody was finally telling their story.” “The family had taken a close look at the construction industry as a whole and noticed that the trade profession is commonly overlooked, discounted, and generally under-appreciated,” said Tom Donda, an associate of Motion PR. “Through the campaign, Ozinga also aims to redefine what it means to be in construction by encouraging construction workers to get the respect and recognition they deserve. These individuals make up the very foundation of the industry — they work hard, demonstrate perseverance and are singular individuals that have specialized knowledge and experience.” This a three-phase campaign: billboards placed in 16 locations throughout Chicagoland, northern Indiana and south Wisconsin in the spring until mid-summer; a 60-second ad placed on television stations throughout the area from March through May, as well as radio ads; and an ongoing social media outreach on Facebook and other venues. Marty Ozinga IV, the president of the company conceived of the idea for the campaign in 2013 and Tim Ozinga immediately got on board. “It was something that we genuinely felt and it made a lot of sense to head in this direction,” said Tim Ozinga, “and since 2008, when the recession started, the construction industry and the trades were hit hard. There was a lot of uncertainty about the future of the industry, but the construction workers and the trades stuck it out and we’re on the move again. The campaign is a rallying cry to say ‘we realize the hard work that you do and the tough times experienced by all, and we’re excited now that we can see the end of the tunnel.’

Launched last spring in Chicago, the “Born to Build” campaign initiated by Chicago’s Ozinga Bros. Inc., plans are already in the works to initiate a second phase of the advertising campaign. Partnered with creative agency Cultivate Studios, the goal of the campaign is to “honor and celebrate” the American construction worker and those in construction-related trades.

“But it’s deeper than that,” he added. “Often times they are under-estimated or people think that being in a trade or construction is somehow less of a vocation than some other alternatives and we really wanted to challenge that and stress that these are indispensable people that we need in order to build communities and country. These are the people who build the roads and bridges we use daily, the homes and the buildings that we live and work in and the places where we go to shop and play. A lot of people take it for granted the amount of hard work that goes into mak-ing this lifestyle possible.” The commercial was produced with the support of local general contractors —footage taken at construction sites operated by Walsh Construction and Alpine Demolition Services and with cooperation of local tradespeople at Superior Furniture Repair and Builder’s Ironworks who consented to be filmed. “There are a few other videos that came out of that — some short vignette pieces,” said Tim Ozinga. “We’ve been contacted by some trade locals and unions that really appreciate the mes-sage. We’re continuing the dialogue with them and sharing ideas.” Marty and Tim Ozinga approached Cultivate in early spring 2014. “Working with them over the last 10 years,” said Chris Pierik, Creative Director at Cultivate Studios, “we have known Ozinga to be big supporters of their workers and advocates for the American worker in general. It made perfect

sense to us that they would want to celebrate tradespeople. They received the ‘Top 100 Workplaces, 2014’ award from the Chicago Tribune, so this initiative aligns perfectly with who Ozinga is. “Using Marty’s idea ‘to celebrate the construction worker,’” he continued, “we set out to craft a message that was true to the sentiment of tradespeople who have a deep attachment to their work. The beginning of the video script talks about a stigma that exists about tradespeople, the middle of the script paints the picture as to how tradespeople defy the stigma and the end of the script is a sort of rallying cry to tradespeople to continue building our communities and country and overcoming the odds. It was important to feature real tradespeople to be authentic to who they are and we used handheld camera movements to put the viewer in the scene with the workers.” To craft the billboards, Cultivate photographed tradespeople using dramatic lighting and pose that would celebrate him/her as a hero. “By pairing the campaign message ‘You Were Born To Build’ with the photograph,” said Pierik, “we were able to convey that Ozinga understands the best tradespeople don’t get there by accident and that they understand it to be their destiny or a sort of calling. They work hard to make something of themselves and support their families, while also having an impact on our communities and our country. They are our everyday heroes who deserve to be celebrated.” The upcoming phase of the campaign, expected to be launched

next spring, has Ozinga Bros. bringing in new partners and additional resources. A key element of it will be finding a way to maintain the drive and imagination that children have when they are young about constructing and creating buildings and objects, when they play with Lego building blocks, and construction vehicles and building structures in sandboxes with shovels and buckets. “Somehow that notion is challenged and that being involved in construction is not a good vocation,” said Tim. “This stigma exists and it has to be challenged. This was driven home to us by our annual ‘Touch a Truck’ events where the kids of our employees can come into our yard and touch a concrete mixer and go for a ride in one, and get a chance to dig in the sand with real construction vehicles. We have one every Father’s Day so that the children can see what their parents do. “This gives them a real feel for what it is like to be in the construction and building industry,” he added, “and you can see that sense of excitement in the faces of the little girls and boys. We also participate in a lot of community events that are organized through park districts.” Many note that many parents place an emphasis on their children attending university and not considering the trades as a viable option and that education authorities and bodies at various levels do not place enough resources into promoting the trades. “We’ve worked with some of the trade schools in the past and

we’re hoping to pull some of them in with the upcoming campaign,” said Tim Ozinga. “It’s a message that needs to be put forward and it’s not being pursued enough today. There are a lot of great paying jobs with benefits that our company and the industry-at-large are having a hard time filling. We’re facing a skills gap and the work force in construction and the trades is aging, and many younger people are not seeing this as good opportunity.” Tim Ozinga and his brothers have a lot of experience in the construction industry due to their parents insisting that they understand the industry from the bottom up. “We all had to go through the ringer to get where we are at today,” he said, “and it has given us an extensive insight into the industry and the people in it. This campaign has been a first for us and I would venture to say that this is a first time that any ready mix concrete producer has ever done anything like this.” He added that many construction and trades people who commented on the commercial also come from families that have had several generations in the trades, which demonstrates that skills and experiences are being shared and passed down, that children and grandchildren have access to good jobs. This also includes several Ozinga employees. Tim Ozinga is hoping that this Chicago initiative can be replicated across the country.

Zip Line Course to Include Number of Aerial Elements

Shawn Hiester photo

A rendering of the completed St. Augustine Aquarium. AUGUSTINE from page 1

actually put on a wetsuit, mask and snorkel and experience the reef environment. A shark and stingray lagoon will allow visitors to interact with and feed sharks and rays alongside eel and seahorse exhibits. Beginners and the more experienced will have access to a zipline and challenge course to be operated by Zipstream Aerial Adventures, which specializes in eco-adventure parks. Hiester, who’s logged over 500 dives all over the world, including Antarctica, said Florida and the Caribbean remain his favorite places to dive. “We have such an incredible variety of species that are easily accessible to recreational divers, including the big stuff like sharks, goliath grouper, green and loggerhead turtles, to name a few. One of the primary goals of our project is to accurately recreate the Florida reef environment. I’ve relied heavily on my scuba diving experience to help create the vision of our public aquarium.” Hiester also brings a great deal of knowledge to the project. “Before we began our aquarium journey, I was involved in design and construction for 28 years as a project manager, business owner and consultant. That general contractor experience has played a significant role in our ability to design and construct a public aquarium attraction that gives us a big bang for our bucks, while maintaining a cost structure that helps us keep the cost of admission low. “We broke ground on the project in March of this year and began Phase I construction immediately,” Hiester said. So far, we’ve been working on demolition of existing structures on the property, site clearing and grading, installation of utilities, perimeter fencing, stabilized sub-base for our snorkel adventure tank, along with underground tank piping, installation of the fiberglass tank and acrylic vision panels and the tanks and equipment for our life support systems.”

A 1,500 sq. ft. (139.3 sq m) bar/restaurant and a singlefamily residence had to be demolished prior to construction. Fitzgerald Excavating from St. Augustine took seven days to complete the demolition and hauling of the materials to a landfill. The contractor used a large excavator with a thumb attachment to grasp the material. Equipment being used on the project has included a large Caterpillar excavator, Ford and Kubota backhoes, Caterpillar loaders, a 40-ft. (12.1 m) Genie man lift, a Terex lull with a 40-ft. boom and a Kubota tractor with a bush hog, chipper and forklift. Some of the main materials being utilized include concrete, pressure-treated lumber, sand, shells, gravel, asphalt paving, pre-engineered steel, fiberglass, acrylic and recycled concrete. Approximately 6,500 cu. yds. (4,969 cu m) of dirt will be brought to the site or moved. The property is five acres of heavily wooded and pristine land and is less than a mile east of the Interstate 95 and State Road 16 interchange. “The biggest challenge will be construction of the 8,000 square-foot aquarium building, while the Snorkel Adventure and Zipline are open,” Hiester explained. “Also, water chemistry, temperature and life support systems controls have very tight tolerances.” The zip line and adventure course will include an assortment of aerial elements that start with a basic course and allow guests to work their way up to advanced level courses. The tree canopy will be used for the majority of the elements and includes a zip line over live sharks in the shark lagoon. A full-service family restaurant will join the aquarium on site, providing for weddings, parties and other special events. “In terms of sustainability, we are utilizing recycled concrete for sub-base material, we are carefully preserving as many trees as possible and our species selections are acquired only from sustainable sources.”

Hiester also said there have already been a number of hurdles. “Our first site fell through, and it took us another six months to find the right one. The biggest setback so far has been trying to get a permit. Communication between the various county departments, such as planning, zoning, building and utilities, is lacking. That has caused us at least six months of delays trying to navigate through it. We’ve have had to wait to begin the sub-base preparation, curbs and sidewalks, asphalt paving, line striping, landscaping, modular building installations, snorkel tank foundations and access deck, outdoor showers and the other marine exhibits. Weather also has been an issue. “This summer has been the wettest on record in northeast Florida. As a result, our site contractors have suffered. They’re great guys and we expect them to make up the time over the next month or so,” said Hiester. Marine Conservation Partners is the company designing, fabricating and installing the exhibits for the aquarium. Marine Conservation Partners CEO Mat Roy, who’s been featured on the internationally recognized television series “Fish Tank Kings” on Nat Geo Wild, explained how the project is being built in two phases. “Phase I is an exterior snorkel lagoon that is 80,000 gallons,” said Roy, who brings over two decades of experience in the marine aquarium industry. “Guests will have the opportunity to snorkel over Caribbean fish and stingrays and also see the animals and have a behind-the-scenes tour of the aquarium’s filtration. Phase II will be a much larger building with 17 exhibits, including fish from around the state of Florida. We want this to be an educational experience. There’s lots to learn about our Florida waters. Our guests will also have the opportunity to dive in very large shark tanks. Divers will experience feeding large sharks viewing an see AUGUSTINE page 76

Cabin Rental Owner Builds 94-Foot Suspension Bridge in Arkansas By David Holsted HARRISON DAILY TIMES

MARSHALL, Ark. (AP) Rod Corley had a problem. Though he had fallen in love with the hills and woods surrounding his cabins in Searcy County, when Rush Creek flooded he was cut off from the world, the Harrison Daily Times reported. Corley owns Aux Arc Wilderness Cabin Rentals, located on Zack Road a few miles from Marshall. The creek running alongside his cabins only added to the rustic and remote setting. However, there was no bridge leading from the road to his property. The only way to cross the creek was in a highclearance, four wheel drive vehicle, and that was during low water levels. Corley went on to say that, five times this year, the creek had risen to levels that made crossing impossible. He had no way of getting out. Something had to be done. “A bridge was mandatory,’’ Corley said. Corley built a bridge. It was not just any bridge, however. As far as Corley can determine, his is the longest privately owned suspension bridge in Arkansas. He could have built any bridge, Corley went on to say. A regular bridge like the ones you see on the highway could

have been built fairly easily and economically. He found, though, that for a few thousand dollars more, he could have something special. Corley hired the engineer who built bridges for the Nature Conservancy. Working together, they came up with a plan. “The engineering was already done,’’ Corley said. “I just had to lift it and apply it to our project.’’ Corley used many used materials for his bridge. For example, the beams came from a scrap pile. Corley rescued them and sandblasted them. The huge rocks lining the banks were given to him by a farmer. “Everything just came together at the right place at the right time,’’ Corley said. The footings for the bridge were driven 13 feet into bedrock. Construction of the bridge took about seven months, due to several weather interruptions. The 94-foot span was opened in early July. Since then, it has served its primary purpose, allowing the crossing of Rush Creek, but Corley has found that it is now kind of an attraction. People have heard about the bridge, he said, and he has gained some business from people curious to see it for themselves.

H&E Equipment Services When Morooka customers asked for greater side dump management, the company introduced the all new Morooka MST 2200 VDR, with a 360 degree revolving upper structure, which allows the operator to deposit spoil exactly where needed. The next generation single handle controller makes operating this new machine effortless, according to the manufacturer. The new Morooka MST 2200 VDR has enhanced hydraulics coupled with the Caterpillar Tier IVF engine. The MST 2200 VDR is loaded with new features. The spacious cabin is ROPS certified for operator safety and a 7 in. (17.7 cm) digital information display provides the operator with up to the second machine performance data. The

MST 2200 VDR also comes standard with a back-up camera and heated remote mirrors for additional jobsite safety. The muscle is provided by a new series of “H1” Sauer Danfoss main pumps with internal charge pumps for easy attachment add-ons. New variable speed travel motors match the machine speed to the load for optimum performance. This new Morooka carrier will be in Booth N-3300 during ICUEE, Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 in Louisville Ky.

Cat Inspect Mobile App Improves, Simplifies Machine Inspection Process

Caterpillar is taking the paper out of the machine inspection process with Cat Inspect, an easy-to-use mobile application that allows users to download machine-specific inspection forms and capture actionable information during their walkarounds. Inspection types include technical analysis (TA1) inspection forms and preventive maintenance (PM) checklists. The checklists are serialnumber specific, which gives users guidance specific to the Cat equipment they depend on every day. Users can add ratings, make comments and take pictures during the inspection. Subsequent inspection reports lists items requiring attention, from immediate to normal. If users are inspecting machines with optional equipment not listed on their checklists, they can document that equipment and add the information to the form. Besides eliminating the need for

paper, Cat Inspect allows typed or dictated notes, off-line inspections, forwarding to the Cat dealer, and PDF distribution. Important alerts are also sent to VisionLink, so users can get an even better overall view of their fleets. Cat dealers and technicians have tested, improved and used Cat Inspect over the past year, ensuring an outstanding experience for all customers, especially those using a mobile device on inspections for the first time. Cat Inspect is available at no charge for Android devices through Google Play, for Apple iPhones and iPads through the App Store on iTunes and for Windows 8.1 tablets through the Windows Store. For more information, visit www.cat.com/catinspect. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Putzmeister Unveils Coupling System

In addition to multiple cutter head options, the Geo-Boy is available in both wheeled and track configurations.

Geo-Boy Brush Cutter Tractor Offers Contractors Cutter Head Options The Geo-Boy brush cutter tractor from Jarraff Industries is available with various cutter head options to meet specific application needs. The Geo-Boy can be outfitted with cutter heads from multiple manufacturers. Jarraff Industries President/CEO Heidi Boyum said the objective is versatility and productivity. “We really want to give end users the ability to best match their Geo-Boy to their particular applications. Conditions can vary greatly from pipeline right-ofway management, for example, to seis-

mic mapping or general land clearing for construction applications. This way customers can select the cutter head option that best suits their needs and gives them the level of productivity that they want.” In addition to multiple cutter head options, the Geo-Boy is available in both wheeled and track configurations. Both models are ROPS and FOPS certified. The Geo-Boy also offers a number of safety features including full Lexan, No Mar windows and a rear view camera.

Putzmeister America Inc. has introduced a hydraulic coupling system used for creating quicker, easier and cleaner connections on hydraulic lines that connect pedestals with placing booms to power the boom arm. The new couplers easily screw together, coupling and uncoupling while depressurized. “Not only is the new design easy and convenient, but it’s also safer to install,” said Bob Weiglein, Putzmeister’s special applications business manager. “The new couplers will help save time on the job site, as they can easily be taken apart and reattached to the placing boom’s hydraulic lines.” For use when disconnecting the boom from pedestal or truck in placing boom applications, the hydraulic coupling system is available on detachable placing booms, making truck-to-tower conversions a more efficient process. Additional benefits of the hydraulic coupling system include the ability to couple and uncouple each line individually, an easily accessible connection plate, and hose bundles that are re-routed and secured in a streamlined way. Putzmeister’s new hydraulic coupling system is available on select boom models for new equipment orders. For more information, call 800/890-0269 or visit www.PutzmeisterAmerica.com. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

The Geo-Boy has the ability to lift the cutter head approximately 11 ft. (3.3 m) high and can quickly and effectively clear brush and trees up to 12 in. (30.5 cm) in diameter. With two Tier III engine options, 220 hp and 260 hp, the Geo-Boy is powerful, maneuverable and fuel efficient. For more information, call 800/4362691 or visit www.geo-boy.com. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Changing Times…

CE Attachments Transitions to Edge Brand Name Since the merger of Compact Equipment Attachments Inc. (CE Attachments Inc.) into Manitou Americas Inc. in 2013, Edge has emerged as the primary brand name associated with the attachment needs for Gehl and Mustang products. Over the course of the next few months, the “CE Attachment” name will be removed from Edge branded products and replaced exclusively with the Edge brand name. Despite this transition, the Edge brand will continue to provide the same products and services. The www.ceattachments.com Web site will remain active and up-to-date with Edge branded products during this transition period. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

E-Z Drill’s Model 210 Series Offers Concrete Repair Solutions E-Z Drill’s Model 210 equipment-mounted concrete drill attachment series consists of three models: the three-gang Model 210-3 EQ MT, four-gang Model 210-4 EQ MT and five-gang Model 210-5 EQ MT, and is compatible with most model of backhoes and excavators.

Cat CT680 Delivers Combination of Durability, Comfort The Cat vocational truck line continues to grow to meet customer needs with the addition of the CT680, a Class 8 set-forwardaxle model built to tackle today’s most demanding jobs while setting new standards for comfort and style, according to the manufacturer. The third vocational truck offered by Caterpillar, the CT680 features a rugged exterior, attractive automotive appearance, spacious and ergonomic cab, and vocational-specific engine and transmission. Its set-forward axle, parabolic taper leaf suspension, tuned cab air suspension system, and premium sound insulation and trim combine to deliver industryleading ride quality. “Customers told us they wanted a truck they could work hard,” said Dave Schmitz, vocational truck product manager. “The CT680 is as rugged as they come — built for heavy loads, hard jobs and harsh environments — but it still delivers shift-long comfort and a stylish appearance. Its bold design will set our customers apart from the crowd.” Rugged, Stylish Exterior Purpose-built for heavy-duty work, the CT680 stands up to big loads and tough applications without sacrificing comfort and appearance, due to automotive styling and class-leading materials, fit and finish. Customers can choose from truck or tractor configurations and two exterior trim levels — L and LG — addressing different styles and serviceability needs. The CT680L features a threepiece Metton hood, three-piece chrome bumper and three-piece chrome stainless grille surround, as well as composite halogen headlights and incandescent park/turn lights. The CT680LG comes with

a one-piece fiberglass hood, threepiece black bumper and integrated fiberglass grille surround, along with sealed-beam halogen headlights and LED park/turn lights. A dual external air cleaner option — for efficient air management even in dirty, dusty applications — also is available. To keep service time to a minimum, the CT680’s modular components — including the grille, grille surround, bumper and fender extensions — can be replaced individually. Key service points like coolant, washer reservoirs and air filters are easy to access, and customers can quickly replace headlight bulbs and windshield wiper blades without tools. Comfortable, Productive Cab The CT680’s wide, spacious interior is packed with features that deliver all-day comfort, productivity and safety. The ergonomic dashboard and center stack make it easy for drivers to read gauges through the steering wheel. Tuned cab air suspension, premium grade sound insulation, and a durable routing and clipping wire system help ensure a smooth, quiet ride. Drivers can choose from multiple seat options, including the Cat comfort seat. The tilting, telescoping steering column with a leatherwrapped steering wheel comes standard. There’s plenty of room for paperwork and log books in easy-to-reach side compartments, back-panel storage and oversized side pockets. Overhead, underdash and adjustable map lights illuminate work areas, and HVAC controls and vents are easy to access and positioned for optimum air flow. To keep drivers and those around them safe, the CT680 features a curved, sloped, wraparound

simple to learn and operate, making it easier for customers to find, train and retain productive drivers. Since drivers don’t need to operate the clutch or remove their hands from the wheel, it also enhances jobsite safety. Other options for the CT680 include a variety of manual transmissions and the Ultrashift Plus vocational transmission built by Eaton.

The third vocational truck offered by Caterpillar, the CT680 features a rugged exterior, attractive automotive appearance, spacious and ergonomic cab, and vocational-specific engine and transmission.

windshield — in a one- or twopiece design — that offers an enhanced view of the road. Large, heated, cowl-mounted mirrors with integrated turn signals also enhance all-around visibility. A generous door opening, three-point grab irons and skid-resistant steps allow for safe entry and exit. Vocational-Specific Engine Powering the CT680 is a Cat CT Series vocational truck engine with horsepower ratings from 410 to 475, peak torque ratings from 1,450 to 1,700 lb-ft and the flexibility to match power and performance to specific jobs and operating conditions. A highly efficient selective catalytic reduction (SCR) solution, with upgraded in-cylinder technology and proven aftertreatment, meets emission requirements. The CT Series engine’s durable, compacted graphite iron block reduces weight by as much as 200 lbs. (90.7 kg) compared to standard

iron — allowing customers to increase payloads, efficiency and profit. A single electronic control module and fewer electrical connections help reduce diagnostic and maintenance time, and a fluidfree head gasket eliminates the risk of coolant leaking into engine oil or exhaust gases entering the cooling system. Productive, Easy-toOperate Transmission Featuring six forward speeds and one reverse, the Cat CX31 automatic transmission delivers rugged durability, smooth shifting and optimum power. It boasts a high power-to-weight ratio, full power shifting and quick acceleration to boost productivity. Ideal speed and torque combinations help improve fuel economy, and two side PTO locations and a Cat exclusive rear PTO enhance versatility and serviceability, according to the manufacturer. The automatic transmission is

Performance-Enhancing Technology The CT680 comes standard with Caterpillar’s comprehensive asset and fleet management tool, Product Link. Customers can use this tool and the accompanying VisionLink web interface to track fuel use and costs, location, working versus idle time, preventive maintenance schedules and more. Fault code or suspicious movement alerts can be sent via email or text message to help keep downtime to a minimum. Also available are an optional vehicle infotainment system and a bendix tire pressure monitoring system. “If you have heavy loads to haul or hard work to perform, and you want to do it in comfort and style, then the CT680 is your truck,” Schmitz said. “You get the rugged durability and dealer support you expect from Cat, plus a premium work environment for the driver and best-in-class styling, materials and serviceability.” Like the Cat CT660 and CT681, the CT680 is backed by bumperto-bumper service at more than 400 Cat dealer locations across North America.

Mack Delivers 25,000th Truck With GuardDog Connect Mack Trucks has activated its Mack GuardDog Connect integrated telematics solution in more than 25,000 Mack models. The 25,000th truck, a Mack Pinnacle model, recently was delivered to Cresson, Texas-based 3 Star Daylighting. Mack launched the proactive diagnostic and repair planning solution in 2014. Mack GuardDog Connect monitors critical fault codes that could potentially shut down a truck or lead to an unplanned visit to the dealer, reducing diagnostic and repair times by up to 70 percent and 21 percent respectively. Standard in Mack Granite, Pinnacle, Titan by Mack and TerraPro concrete pumper models, GuardDog Connect is a key component of Mack’s customer uptime support, which is managed through Mack’s Uptime Center located near Mack’s Greensboro, N.C., headquarters. The facility houses personnel from every customer support function, including Mack OneCall live support, connecting them to customers and dealers through Mack ASIST, a web-based service management system that connects fleet managers and service providers in real time to enable faster repairs. “I have used the GuardDog system twice so far, and it is very informative and keeps you up to date when issues arise,” said Aaron Hall, fleet manager of 3 Star Daylighting, which hauls waste water from oilfields in the Barnett Shale. “The trucks we used in the past completely relied on drivers and the information they gave me. I love how the OneCall customer service reps are friendly and willing to help with any issue, recommending a dealership in the immediate area for servicing the truck.” Since December, 3 Star Daylighting and its sister compa-

Cresson, Texas-based 3 Star Daylighting recently took delivery of the 25,000th Mack truck model equipped with the Mack GuardDog Connect proactive diagnostic and repair planning solution.

ny Red Stag LLC have bought 30 Mack models from Bruckner Truck Sales in Fort Worth, Texas. For all of the Mack models, the company purchased an additional three years beyond the standard two years of included GuardDog Connect coverage. “Mack GuardDog Connect’s success has proven that keeping customers’ trucks on the road through proactive management is far more valuable than responding to

unplanned events after the fact,” said Stephen Roy, president of Mack Trucks North America. “GuardDog Connect gives us instant insights into what is happening with our customers’ trucks so that Mack’s 24/7 live support can provide comprehensive, market-leading Uptime Solutions.” Earlier this year, Mack expanded GuardDog Connect coverage to include the monitoring of fault codes for Mack mDRIVE and mDRIVE HD automated manual transmissions. And GuardDog Connect offers customers value beyond diagnosing and managing cases. Through Mack Fleet Management Services, Mack also allows customers to use the integrated GuardDog Connect telematics hardware with cloud-based intelligence software, currently provided through Telogis, to improve their operations, reduce costs and increase safety. Mack recently was named Commercial Vehicle Maker of the Year by TU-Automotive, a leading organization focused on the connected vehicle technology segment, for Mack GuardDog Connect and Mack Fleet Management Services. Complementing GuardDog Connect, Mack recently expanded its partnered services offering to improve diagnostics results by integrating Mack ASIST with Truck Diagnostics System (TDS), a JPRO-based software solution from Mack’s partner Noregon. Once TDS or JPRO software identifies a vehicle fault, a service case is automatically opened in ASIST, providing the customer a quicker diagnosis. For more information, visit www.macktrucks.com.

Talbert Launches Updated Traveling Axle Trailer Series Talbert Manufacturing updated its traveling axle (TA) series by increasing its hauling capacity by 5 tons (4.5 t). Three of the new trailer models — the 4048TA, 4050TA and 4053TA — have a 40-ton hauling capacity, and the new 5548TA and 5553TA trailer models haul as much as 55 tons (50 t). The five new trailer models will replace the others within the TA Series. The added capacity on the new TA Series trailers equates to increased hauling flexibility. For example, the 4050TA now has an 80,000-lb. (36,287 kg) evenly distributed capacity or a concentrated load capacity of 50,000 lb. (22,679 kg) in 10 ft. (3 m). This allows haulers to expand their range of load opportunities and maximize transportation efficiency, while complying with U.S. state and Canadian province hauling requirements. The TA Series trailers feature a 36-in. (91 cm) loaded deck height, which provides additional clearance for bridges and tunnels when

Three of the new trailer models — the 4048TA, 4050TA and 4053TA — have a 40-ton hauling capacity, and the new 5548TA and 5553TA trailer models haul as much as 55 tons (50 t).

transporting tall equipment. The 4050TA was the first model released in the updated TA Series with this low deck height feature, and it also is California-legal, making the 4050TA an ideal west coast hauling trailer. The five new TA Series trailer models feature Talbert’s signature piggy-back cylinder, now with a larger diameter for faster axle travel. The new models also have an increased number of keyholes across the rear of the trailer for additional flexibility for tying

down loads, an improved, lockable curbside gooseneck toolbox that includes a weather resistant door seal, as well as a chain rack and other hardware upgrades. Another key advancement with the new TA Series trailers is the standard metal e-chain for the air and electrical lines, which now makes it both easier and less expensive to add optional dock levelers as an aftermarket option. The TA Series trailers feature key trailer components for easy loading on its 7-degree load angle.

Talbert’s standard equipment for the series includes a 15,000-lb. (6,804 kg) planetary winch with a two-function, wireless remote. It assists in moving equipment on and off of the trailer by making it possible for one person to load a piece of equipment without leaving the vehicle. Talbert also offers two other upgrade options; a sixfunction remote and a 20,000-lb. (9,072 kg) planetary winch. The six-function remote provides the operator with the ability to adjust the movement of the axles, winch

and deck while loading. The TA Series trailers come standard with double keyhole tiedown slots on top of the outside beams and recessed in the center of the main deck. For recessed tiedowns, Talbert includes a metal basket that is mounted below the deck to protect the main cylinder from excess chain. Talbert has multiple, optional features to enhance the TA Series trailers. Available coating selections include the standard Valspar R-Cure 800 paint in Talbert’s signature red and optional Valspar Aquaguard for corrosion protection. Additional optional equipment includes a 48-in. (122 cm) aluminum/steel bulkhead with strobe and work lights, a centralized lubrication system and a right weigh load scale.

Thunder Creek Equipment Introduces FST Series Trailers Thunder Creek Equipment has introduced its FST Series trailers — available in 500-, 750- and 990-gal. (1,893, 2,839 and 3,747 L) diesel capacities with a 100-gal. (378.5 L) DEF tank and an optional field-installed rear utility box. The new FST Series combines the best of Thunder Creek’s fuel, DEF and service transportation technologies into a single design while retaining the company’s focus on craftsmanship with heavy gauge steel, and premium options that allow contractors to spec each trailer to meet the demands of their work, according to the manufacturer. The rear utility box is 55 percent larger than previous designs and can be installed on any FST Series trailer at any time — allowing owners looking for basic fuel transportation to later build out their own mobile service trailer as their needs evolve. Options include a three-inone welder/generator/air compressor, an auxiliary oil tank, a Worksight light tower and a Field Max tire kit. All Thunder Creek trailers are built with a low profile and baffled fuel tanks, making them suitable for traveling both on-road at highway speeds and off-road on large job sites. Expanded Space With more than double the capacity for tools and storage, FST Series trailers have 75 cu. ft. (2 cu m) of space in the front

and pump enclosures, and an additional 60 cu. ft. (1.7 cu m) in the optional rear utility box that can be outfitted at the time of purchase or field-installed at a later date. Better Access Hatch-style doors open to give unrestricted access to the pumping systems, controls and options. All interfaces are now positioned ergonomically at the operator’s natural height. More Towable The fully baffled fuel tanks are now taller, which reduces the overall length of the trailer. The front enclosure is narrower for better maneuvering. This makes for one of the most towable trailers on the market today. Tougher With seven gauge steel and doublewelded seams, Thunder With more than double the capacity for tools and storage, FST Series trailers have 75 cu. ft. (2 cu m) of space in the front and pump enclosures, and an additional 60 cu. ft. (1.7 cu m) in the optional rear utility box that can be outfitted at the time of purchase or field-installed at a later date.

Creek has always been known for craftsmanship and durability. With a 25-percent stronger frame, FST Series trailers are built to withstand continual off-road use in environments ranging from oil and gas pipelines to road construction. Replaceable fenders and a rock guard provide the ultimate protection from rock chips and damage over the life of the trailer, according to the manufacturer. Improved DEF Handling The closed-loop DEF delivery system with two-in-one DEF pumping system is a reliable and contamination-free method of delivering DEF to off-highway equipment. FST Series trailers are compliant with ISO 22241 standards to maintain purity. The DEF systems on FST Series trailers now feature: • A 100-gal. poly tank nested into the trailer frame for a low center of gravity • Higher pump flows • Auto shut-off when filling • The ability for DEF to freeze in the tank without causing damage Options Packaging Thunder Creek offers a large selection of options to reduce downtime in the field. These options can now be equipped in packages, which can save the customer as much as 20 percent at the time of purchase. For more information, visit ThunderCreek.com.

Cat MH3027 Delivers Productive, Reliable Performance The Cat MH3027 is the fourth and smallest in the series of new wheeled material handlers that Caterpillar is introducing to global markets in the greater than 27.5 ton (25 t) size class. At 62,832 lb. (28,500 kg), the MH3027 delivers increased performance in a smaller package — specifically a swing radius that is 8.3 in. (21.3 cm) less than the Cat MH3037. The new Cat material handlers are purpose-built from the ground up to work productively and reliably in solid waste and scrap recycling. The MH3027 is available in configurations for waste handling, featuring a straight stick, and for scrap handling, featuring a drop nose stick. A debris resistant cooling package with a hydraulic, variable speed, auto reversing fan and plug resistant coolers equips the machine for challenging conditions. The MH3027 also provides added protection and convenience for the operator. The Cat cab avoidance system, using sensors on the front linkage, is standard equipment and helps ensure that the work tool will not contact the cab. New with the MH3027 model, customers can select from two hydraulic cab riser options. Customers can choose the cab-to-platform configuration or customers can choose the “ground level entry and exit” with a step-in cab that lowers to the front or the side of the machine to enhance convenience and safety for operators and service personnel. The hydraulic cab riser takes the operator to 18 ft. (5.5 m) for optimal jobsite visibility. Additionally, the cab features joystick steering control, which eliminates the steering wheel and opens the front view for the operator. A standard rearview camera also expands sight lines with optional side view camera. The MH3027 is powered by a Cat C7.1 ACERT engine that meets U.S. EPA Tier IV Final/EU Stage IV emissions standards. Operation of the emissions control system is completely transparent to the operator — with no downtime for particulate filter regeneration. The engine features an electronically controlled, mechanically actuated, unit-injector fuel system that uses multiple-injection fuel delivery for optimum

power and economy in all operating situations. The MH3027 configuration is rated at 173 hp (129 kW). The intelligent, load-sensing hydraulic system delivers power when needed and reduces fuel burn. High strength structural steel and advanced welding techniques ensure structural integrity. And enhanced serviceability features, such as auto lube for the upper area of the machine and centralized manual lube for the lower, simplify maintenance. Hydraulics and Drive Train Using a closed-center, one-pump, loadsensing implement hydraulic system with electro-hydraulic pilot control, the hydraulic pump generates only as much oil flow and pressure as required for the application, yielding powerful, rapid response and fuelsaving efficiency. To further enhance overall hydraulic power and efficiency, the machine regenerates boom-down oil flow, reducing the volume of oil the pump must produce. True four wheel mechanical drive pro-

vides excellent maneuvering performance even on unimproved terrain. A variable displacement hydraulic motor coupled with a two-speed transmission provides high- and low-speed travel with creeper speed capability for control due to the infinitely variable travel speed. An oscillating rear axle provides smooth travel over rough terrain. The rear axle is equipped with an oscillation lock that provides greater stability during light duty material handling without stabilizers deployed, according to the manufacturer. Serviceability and Work Tools Durable fiberglass gull-wing panels supported by gas-filled cylinders provide ready access to the routine maintenance points in spacious, lighted compartments. Service panels are located on the top, left and right side of the machine. Handrails and anti-slip surfaces help technicians perform their work safely and efficiently. To assist customers in improving jobsite efficiency and managing the MH3027 for

optimum return on investment, Cat Connect offers LINK and DETECT technologies. Product Link helps fleet owners track locations, hours, fuel consumption, idle time, events and diagnostic codes by wirelessly reporting all via the online VisionLink user interface to help lower owning and operating costs. The MH3027 can handle a variety of work tools. The machine features mediumpressure flow from a separate valve for tool rotation and a high-pressure circuit from the main pump to operate the open/close functions of typical tools, such as orange-peel grapples, clamshells and log grapples. A separate pump is used to provide hydraulic power to operate a generator for an optional scrap magnet. The generator features a Cat solid-state magnet controller that has a sorting feature to aid the operator. For more information, visit www.cat.com/MH3000.

Weir Minerals’s Durex Wire Screen Media Reaches Milestone Weir Minerals North America announced that the Durex wire screen media product line is celebrating 50 years of excellence in 2015. The Durex product facility, based in Luck, Wisc., is proud of the reputation it has earned during the past half-century of successfully meeting and exceeding customer needs in the aggregates and mining industries. To commemorate this remarkable achievement, Weir Minerals is launching the 50-50-50 Anniversary Appreciation Program. The 50-year celebration offer includes 50 percent off one full deck of any Durex wire screen media product.* Customers have 50 days to benefit from the promotion — Aug. 17 to Oct. 5, 2015. Durex Products Inc. was founded in 1965 by R.D. Scarlett, a former Fortune 500 company executive and civil engineer. In an already highly competitive aggregate screening market, where woven wire screen cloth was viewed as merely a commodity, Scarlett saw an opportunity to successfully apply innovative product development with superior customer service. The company initially offered woven wire screens out of its facility in Luck, Wisc., and quickly gained market share by aggressively serving the needs of sand & gravel and crushed stone customers in Wisconsin and Minnesota with prompt delivery, quality products and a willingness to help producers solve difficult screening challenges. In the early 1970s, Durex Products expanded farther into the midwest, north atlantic and southeastern United States. During the mid-1970s, as new technology was developed in the manufacture of longer lasting screens, Durex Products saw the potential of synthetic screen media to increase wear life and reduce maintenance costs for its customers. The company expanded its production line to include polyurethane screen media. Over the following decade, it became apparent to the engineers and application experts at Durex Products that not all screening challenges could be solved with wire cloth or polyurethane screen surfaces. In 1986, the company added a rubber screen manufacturing line. By the early 1990s, with its full line of woven wire, vulcanized rubber and molded polyurethane screens, Durex Products was

Durex Products Inc. was founded in 1965 by R.D. Scarlett, a former Fortune 500 executive and civil engineer.

Weir Minerals is launching the 50-50-50 Anniversary Appreciation Program, which runs from Aug. 17 to Oct. 5, 2015. positioned to provide extremely cost-effective, production-enhancing solutions for its customers in North America. During the past 50 years, and even as Durex products subsequently became a part of the Weir Minerals line-up, the brand has continued to maintain its reputation for product innovation. Rubber and molded polyurethane screens and wear products subsequently became marketed under the Linatex brand of products, which is transitioning to a new R&D and manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Durex and Linatex brands from Weir Minerals provide a full offering of screen media products. Standard woven wire: Made from tem-

pered, stainless or high carbon steel, the durability and strength of Durex woven wire permits use of lighter gauge wire, offering more openings per square foot of screening area. Longer life means less downtime and lower operating costs per ton of material. Livewire screen media: Designed to boost production by reducing costly, timeconsuming blinding, plugging and pegging problems — while also delivering superior wear life. Livewire screen media is available in diamond-shaped, alternating “Z” and straight wire, herringbone and straight wire slot openings for maximum output in a variety of dry or damp applications. Its 60durometer rubber strips provide superior

flexing action. Accuslot wire screen: Especially effective in processing crushed stone, sand and gravel and materials with high moisture content. Accuslot screens deliver the high production capability of a slotted screen, with sizing accuracy approaching that of a square opening, minimizing the passing of slivers and chips and greatly reducing plugging and blinding. Vibraspan screen media: The highest throughput of any wire screen from Weir Minerals, built for long life, easy installation and high production. Vibraspan screen media is an end-tensioned, intercrimp or straight wire specialty long-slot wire that is manufactured to precisely match each machine’s support bars for maximum screen life and open area. Armor screen: A combination of premium wire cloth with molded polyurethane coating. Armor screens are designed to provide a higher open area than conventional polyurethane screens and far longer wear life than conventional wire cloth screens that are used in medium load applications with highly abrasive wear. Armor screens also are designed to provide high throughput, reduced plugging and reduced noise.

The Durex wire screen media product line is celebrating 50 years of excellence in 2015.

For more information, visit www.weirminerals.com. *Program Requirements: Applies to both standard and specialty wire, including Livewire screen media and Armor screen; minimum 4 panels, maximum 10 panels, on one deck of one screen box can be purchased, per customer; all panels ordered under the program discount, for each customer, must be of the same specification; in order to qualify, the order must clearly state “50-50-50 Anniversary Appreciation Program;” program discount does not apply to other specialty pricing or national account agreements; discount applies only to current list pricing; offer only available in the United States.

IROCK Crushersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TS-409 open style feeder track screening plant, one in a line of five IROCK models, is designed for small- to mid-size producers who need a more economical, more compact screening plant and do not require as much capacity. The TS-409 is suitable for materials such as topsoil, mulch, sand and gravel, asphalt, coal, limestone and demolition debris. It is powered by a 66.2 hp (49.3 kW) Deutz engine and is capable of processing materials at a rate of up to 300 tph (272 t). In terms of transportation, the equipment can be loaded onto a trailer to move from site to site, and has a set-up time of 10 minutes or less, according to the manufacturer. The smallest screening plant in its class, the TS-409 features an open-style hopper feeder with a 5.02 cu. yd. (3.8 cu m) capacity and a 42-in. (106 cm) wide belt feeder conveyor. Capable of accurately and consistently sizing materials up to 12 in. (30.5 cm) in size, the TS-409 has two 9-ft. by 4ft. (2.7 by 1.2 m) decks for a total of 72 sq. ft. (6.7 sq m) of screening area. This design allows users to produce and sort products in up to three different sizes, and the decks can be interchanged so customers have more control over endproduct size. Although the TS-409 is one of very few smaller tracked screeners on the market, the unit remains robust with features such as 15.7 in. (400 mm) wide crawler tracks and an onboard 42-in. oversized Chevron belt conveyor with a stockpiling height of 11.5 ft. (3.5 m). The entire working unit measures just over 41 ft. (12.5 m) long. Design features and component options further enhance the machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s durability and flexibility and provide end users more customization control. A 42-in. rubber belt feeder is standard on the unit, but customers can substitute a Hardox-lined apron feeder to improve longevity in more rugged environments. Optional radio-control tracks can provide operators the convenience and flexibility to maneuver the unit around a job site wirelessly. Top deck bofar bars allow producers to retain more valuable fine material while rejecting unwanted oversize products. Finally, top-deck punch plates, commonly used in scalping or heavy-duty screening applications, also are an option that prolongs screen life.

MB America Partners With Barker to Bring Live Demo

The world’s largest crusher bucket, the BF150.10, was displayed for attendees to view.

MB America Inc. partnered with Barker Enterprises to bring a live demonstration of its crushing and screening attachments for excavators and high-flow skid steers, with the world’s largest crusher bucket on display, in Washington at Corliss Resources, Inc. Attendees saw crusher bucket models designed for both excavators and high-flow skid steers and a screening bucket model for excavators. The crusher buckets were crushing hollow core walls, reinforced and normal concrete, 10-inch minus river rock, natural stone and asphalt. “See for yourself how remarkable this technology is. You wouldn’t find anything like our crushing and screening attachments on the market,” said Miriano Ravazzolo, CEO of MB America. Along with the demonstration, the world’s largest crusher bucket, the BF150.10, was displayed for attendees to view. The BF150.10 weighs in at 23,150 lb. (10,500 kg), and it is designed as an attachment for excavators exceeding 154,000 lb. (69,853 kg). It has a load capacity of 3.2 cu. yds. (2.45 cu m), a bucket opening of 57 x 28 in. (144.78 x 71.12 cm) and is capable of a production between 78 and 160 cu. yds. (59.6 and 122.33 cu m) per hour, making it an ideal addition to any team working in a pit, quarry,

or any large-scale construction project. "I am very excited about our new relationship with MB America and am looking forward to sharing their amazing technology as the Washington State Dealer,” Lynn Barker, owner of Barker Enterprises. According to MB, their attachments allow businesses to reuse the materials immediately at the job site and provide a greener option in recycling waste materials, which often sit for months before businesses can transport them to a crushing plant or to bring one in. The process can take weeks to get rid of waste and cost businesses thousands of dollars.

Sturtevant Unveils 100 Percent Mobile Air Classifying Plant

Sturtevant Whirlwind portable air classifier plant is sturdy, compact and maneuverable on roadways and job sites.

Many aggregate and sand producers own multiple quarries, and a portable air classifier eliminates the cost of owning and maintaining multiple stationary classifiers. And for major paving projects it is often more economical to move the air classifier to a quarry nearer to the job site or to the job site itself than to haul the de-dusted manufactured sand. “Many asphalt companies also own or lease portable asphalt plants that normally require adjoining portable equipment for crushing, screening and fines handling,” according to Joe Muscolino, senior project manager of Sturtevant Inc., Hanover, Mass. “A portable air classifier negates the need for a wash plant where water is not readily available or where waste water disposal is a problem. But there has not been a mobile air classifier that could go from transport to production without the cost and delay of special lifting equipment. People have been asking us for years to design a portable plant to solve this serious problem, he said. Sturtevant Inc. has introduced a self-contained, 100 percent mobile air classifying plant with integral collapsible conveyors, enabling parking to processing in one hour or less. The Whirlwind air classifier and conveyors hydraulically unfold for setup and fold away for breakdown and transport, with no cranes, boom trucks, front-end loaders or special crew needed for any part of the operation. Simply push a button. Dual hydraulic cylinders provide smooth, steady raising and lowering of the Whirlwind air classifier and the integral, collapsible feed and dual discharge conveyors. The plant is mounted on a rugged chassis frame with triaxle suspension for stable travel on highways or back roads. The plant is designed and constructed for vibration-free operation and long service life with low maintenance and the compact design features a low transport height (13 ft. 5 in. [4 m]), short trailer transport length (61 ft. 9 in. [18.8 m]) and trim transport width (12 ft. 7 in. [3.8 m]) for easy maneuvering on roadways and at job sites. Feed capacity is 30 to 90 tons (27 to 81.6 t) per hour with a 50 hp variable-frequency motor for low energy consumption. “Producers tell us they want a portable unit large enough for high feed rates, but compact and completely mobile to keep transportation costs reasonable,” Muscolino said. “We

Once parked, the unit unfolds to operational mode in one minute or less with the push of a button.

estimate that our ample tph range and compact, totally selfcontained design will keep transportation costs 40 to 50 percent lower than if we had designed a larger plant with unattached conveyors that require assembly.” Other features requested by aggregate and asphalt producers include a long, high discharge conveyor for greater stockpile heights of de-dusted manufactured sand, and a feed

The plant utilizes the same Whirlwind air classifier as in stationary applications for more than 80 years.

conveyor intake hopper that is low to the ground and can be fed by a front-end loader, eliminating the need for an intermediate conveyor. Also, the feed hopper is located behind the trailer rear wheels to prevent spillage of feed material onto the chassis where it could cause damage and require clean-up. The smaller side conveyor is for byproduct fines. For safety and nuisance dust control, all three belt conveyors are covered and can be easily vented. In addition, the gravity feed inlet at the top of the classifier is under a slight vacuum to prevent airborne nuisance dust during material transfer. The conveyor covers also help reduce moisture during rain to ensure efficient performance. The air classifier is designed for dry operation; material moisture preferably should not exceed 2 to 3 percent, with 4 to 5 percent as maximum for most materials. The Sturtevant Whirlwind air classifier can eliminate the need for screening, cyclones, bag houses or wet washing. The unit has an automatic lubrication system for low maintenance and a time-tested gear unit drive for long service life. An internal fan lifts minus #200 mesh fines out of the feed, and removable selector blades within the housing control the amount of fines to be removed so the process can be adjusted to nearly any material or spec requirement. Any additional fine tuning and quick adjustments are made with easy-to-use speed controls. Adjusted product fineness: minimal minus 100, 200, 325 mesh fines. Sturtevant has designed and manufactured a wide range of material processing equipment since 1888, including three types of air classifiers. The chassis-mounted Whirlwind air classifier is the exact same model that has been in stationary applications worldwide for more than 80 years. The company has manufactured more than 5,000 air classifiers, and with proper maintenance, Sturtevant air classifiers can last 40 to 50 years, according to the manufacturer. “Our customers expect superior quality and long service life from everything we make,” Muscolino said. “And our Whirlwind portable air classifier plant and rugged trailer are thoroughly designed and built for the long haul.” For more information, call 800/992-0209 or visit www.sturtevantinc.com.

edge.” Hunt went on to say that after the pothole area is dug out, the material they put back into the holes and compact for base is called “surge rock” from a local quarry. “We have used GAB and crusher run, but surge rock has worked well for us, it is a mix of all the materials they have at the quarry. From number 3’s down to GAB is what makes up the mix. Above the compacted base material, The Stepp machine is used to place 2 to 3 inches of hot mix asphalt topping that gives a good quality ride when compacted down.” “We use the machine weekly and sometimes we’ll make up to 10 to 20 loads a day. It depends on the size of the potholes. We may have five large potholes that require five loads each. Other days, we may have our more typical pothole repair, a 2’ x 2’ which usually requires 1 batch (1000 pounds). We rotate the machine between our 4 right of way maintenance crews, so it is in a different areas of the county each week, each crew will have some number of work orders to complete. We also require the local utility company to call our office with road cuts, they provide a temporary patch and then we are paid to complete their repair with an asphalt patch. It makes sense for us to work together, plus we are going to get the call anyway. It takes about a month to cycle around the county. As always, we can change the plan and

move the machine to address emergency situations,” said Hunt. Hunt said that each load they produce with the Stepp asphalt machine is 1,000 lbs. (453 kg), and the auger system helps empty the machine. When asked about the purchase of the machine from Reynolds-Warren, Hunt said it was an interesting process. “We researched and liked this machine, but it was not sold in our area.We talked with Steve Young at Reynolds-Warren and explained to what we were trying to do. So they went out and worked all the legal agreements and they became the distributor and then we ended up buying the first one sold in the state of Georgia. We were essentially working through the process of learning the machine at the same time. We understood it was a new product for them, and a new product for us. When issues came up with the machine that we didn’t understand, they were quick to get back with the manufacturer and iron out the details. Steve Young, is a great listener and he’s excellent at executing what you’re thinking about or what you dream up, and just makes things happen. He’s a great guy and a pleasure to work with.” For more information, visit www.steppmfg.com.

States Act While Congress Holds Up Long-Term Funding REPAIRS from page 1

helping to repair roads and bridges described as crumbling, aging and unsafe. About 20 percent of the nation’s 900,000 mi. of interstates and major roads need resurfacing or reconstruction, according to one analysis of federal data. A quarter of the 600,000 bridges are considered structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are about to fall; it means they are showing worrisome problems or are no longer adequate for today’s traffic. “There’s a lot of voices that say let’s push this off,’’ said Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, whose call for more transportation funding has been opposed by some fellow Republicans. “But the need is not going to go away. We’re going to have to do something to address this.’’ In many states, the new money is going primarily toward repairing old infrastructure, though some projects — such as a new four-lane U.S. 20 across Iowa — are designed to ease congestion so that commerce can flow more freely. Congress has yet to agree on long-term funding to supplement the states’ efforts. Instead, it recently passed its 34th short-term extension of the nation’s transportation program since 2009, ensuring only that states will continue to receive federal highway funding through Oct. 29. Federal dollars, on average, cover about half of a state’s capital expenditures for roads and bridges, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. But the money available from the Federal Highway Trust Fund declined 3.5 percent during the five-year period ending in 2013, the latest year for which numbers are available, because of improved fuel economy and other factors. The fund receives money from federal taxes on gasoline and diesel.

Regardless of what Congress ultimately does, some state officials say more taxpayer money will be required to update their aging infrastructure for the modern economy. The newly passed measures put only a dent in a backlog of projects. In Connecticut, for example, legislators recently approved $2.8 billion of additional transportation bonding over the next five years. But that’s just the start of what Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy hopes will be a 30-year, $100 billion overhaul of the state’s transportation system. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch’’ Otter, a Republican, signed a law this spring raising the fuel tax by 7 cents a gallon and increasing vehicle registration fees. That’s projected to raise $95 million a year, barely a third of the $262 million annual shortfall in the transportation system. Legislators in Kentucky and North Carolina — where tax rates are linked to the price of fuel — passed measures to avert large cuts caused by falling fuel prices. But those bills didn’t generate any additional money. Though politicians often talk about coming up with creative ways of funding roads, many states have resorted to the traditional means of taxing and borrowing. That’s caused consternation for some Republicans who have campaigned against such things. But it helps that 2015 isn’t an election year. Nebraska’s single-house legislature, which is dominated by Republicans, overrode Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts’ veto to enact a 6-cent-a-gallon fuel tax increase. “I had to do a great deal of soul-searching’’ on a fuel tax increase, said sponsor Sen. Jim Smith, a conservative Republican. But he added: “The magnitude of the [transportation] backlog was so large that we would not be able to tackle that with gains and efficiencies alone.’’

Transportation economist George Hoffer of the University of Richmond in Virginia said many politicians find it more palatable to raise the fuel tax than other taxes because “it’s considered equitable — the more you use, the more you pay.’’ Also, because fuel prices regularly fluctuate, it’s sometimes harder for motorists to notice the added tax. “If it’s infrastructure-related, that’s a legitimate reason to raise it,’’ said motorist Lauren Sharkey of Spokane, Wash., where the state gasoline tax increased by 7 cents on Aug. 1 as part of a new 16-year, $16 billion transportation plan. In states that haven’t raised road taxes, some local governments are forging ahead on their own. A new 4-cent-a-gallon gas tax took effect in July in Normal, Ill. A 5-cent hike is to kick in Jan. 1 in Osceola County, Fla., just south of Orlando. Some transportation tax plans have been rejected by voters. Missouri and Michigan, where measures were defeated, are now pondering alternatives. Frustrated that others have acted while his home state has not, Missouri transportation commission chairman Stephen Miller has been distributing newsletters warning that his agency has “a huge problem’’ and “no ready solution.’’ Within a decade, he said, 75 percent of Missouri’s secondary roads could be in poor condition. “At both the federal level and the state level, everyone says transportation is incredibly important, we have a need, we are underfunded, and then nobody can agree on how to do that,’’ Miller said.

DSC Dredge Receives 2015 Lantern Award for Excellence in Manufacturing DSC Dredge, based in Reserve, La., a leader in global dredge manufacturing, according to the company, was locally recognized, receiving the 2015 Lantern Award of the Bayou Region from Louisiana Economic Development. DSC received the Lantern Award for demonstrating excellence in manufacturing and outstanding service to the community through the involvement of its business and employees. DSC was honored on June 16 during a private reception at the Louisiana Governor’s Mansion. Each year, eight companies are selected by Louisiana’s eight Regional Planning and Development Districts. Award winners are chosen based on criteria including the contributions of the manufacturers to their communities — such as investments in employment growth and expansion. Businesses also are required to operate continually for a minimum of three years before nomination. “It is a pleasure every year to celebrate Louisiana-based manufacturers who demonstrate quality in their work processes and a commitment to their local communities,” said Steven Grissom, the state’s secretary for economic development. Bob Wetta, DSC president and CEO, has worked with South Central Louisiana Technical College in Reserve and donated drafting equipment to the local Riverside Academy to help establish a drafting school for young people interested in the field of design and drafting. Based on these dis-

plays of commitment to the community, Natalie Robottom, St. John the Baptist Parish president, chose to nominate the company for the Lantern Award. “Lantern Award winners exemplify what is best about our state’s manufacturing sector,” said Grissom. “These companies embody quality in their work processes while making significant contributions to the quality of life in Louisiana’s communities. We congratulate them on their accomplishments and are grateful for the career opportunities they provide to the people of our state.”

Gate Valve Offers Optional Power Pack Putzmeister Pipe Technology, a division of Putzmeister America, Inc. (Putzmeister), has introduced its GVHM 2/2 hydraulic gate valve, which offers complete shutting of pipelines and a 100-percent leak-proof design, according to the manufacturer. Compatible with both truck-mounted and trailer-mounted pumps being used on high-rise or longdistance projects, the gate valve is pressure-resistant and leak proof at extremely high pressures of up to 1,233 psi (130 bar). The valve’s simple post and beam structure allows for a fast and easy change not only of housing plates, seal rings and slide plates, but also of the hydraulic cylinder without having to disassemble the gate valve or remove from the pipeline. “The new design will withstand the most rugged applications,” said Eric Zimmermann, director of parts sales and pipe technology. “Our customers will find the valve efficient, reliable, and easy to use.” Suitable for high-pressure pumping projects, the hydraulically operated gate valve’s versatile design prevents concrete from bleeding and allows for simplified changes between two pumps. The product is available with 5 in. (12.5 cm) pipeline and SK, HD or ZX couplings to meet any projects specifications. The new gate valve can be ordered from Putzmeister. For more information, call 886/734-0296 or visit www.PutzmeisterAmerica.com. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Ritchie Bros. Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2015. During the quarter, the company generated $155.5 million of revenue, a 10 percent increase compared to revenue of $141.8 million in the second quarter last year, and net earnings of $46.4 million, an increase of 20 percent compared to net earnings of $38.6 million in the second quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.43, a 21 percent increase compared to $0.36 in the same quarter last year. During the first half of 2015, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, the company generated $271.1 million in revenue, a 13 percent increase compared to $240.4 million during the first six months of 2014. Net earnings were $70.0 million during the first half of 2015, a 32 percent increase compared to $52.9 million in the first half of 2014. Diluted EPS for the first half of 2015 was $0.65, a 33 percent increase compared to the same period last year. “The momentum we built during the first quarter continued into the second, with 10 percent revenue growth and 21 percent growth in diluted earnings per share compared to the second quarter last year. We also nearly doubled operating free cash flow compared to the same period a year ago,” said Ravi Saligram, chief executive officer. “Our focus on enhancing the performance of our underwritten business is clearly delivering results, and was demonstrated by the strong revenue rates we achieved at many of the auctions we held during the second quarter. Every business unit contributed positively to our results, including EquipmentOne and Ritchie Bros. Financial Services. In particular, our U.S. and Latin America business achieved a new second quarter revenue record. It’s an early indication that our teams are embracing the new strategy and are laser focused on execution. The strength of our performance has given us the confidence to provide our shareholders with a 14 percent increase in our quarterly cash dividend, which raises our dividend to 16 cents per share.” Income Statement Scorecard Analysis Gross Auction Proceeds (“GAP”) were $1.3 billion for the second quarter of 2015, a quarterly record and a 3 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2014. EquipmentOne, the Company’s online equipment marketplace, contributed $31.7 million of gross transaction value (“GTV”) to GAP in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $29.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. GAP for the second quarter of 2015 would have been $98.7 million higher, or an additional 7.8 percent increase, if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with those in the same period last year. This

adverse effect on GAP is primarily due to the declining value of the Canadian dollar and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Revenue grew 10 percent during the second quarter of 2015 to $155.5 million, compared to $141.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, as a result of the record GAP and higher revenue rate achieved in the second quarter this year. Revenue would have been $12.7 million higher, or an additional 8.2 percent increase, if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with those in the same period last year. The revenue rate was 12.32 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 11.54 percent in the second quarter of 2014. The increase in the revenue rate is primarily due to the performance of the company’s underwritten business, which is comprised of guarantee and inventory contracts, consistent with the company’s strategic focus on this business. As a percent of total GAP, the volume of underwritten business decreased slightly to 29 percent during the second quarter of 2015 compared to 32 percent for the same period in 2014. Operating income grew 21 percent during the second quarter of 2015 to $62.4 million, compared to $51.7 million in the second quarter of 2014. This increase is due to revenue growth significantly outpacing the growth of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Operating income would have been $4.9 million higher, or an additional 7.9 percent increase, if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with those in the same period last year. Operating income margin was 40.2 percent for the second quarter of 2015, 370 basis points higher than 36.5 percent for the same period last year, primarily due to revenues increasing at a rate higher than SG&A expenses. Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.43 per diluted share, a 21 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2014. The increase was driven by GAP, revenue and revenue rate growth during the quarter, compared to the same period last year, offset slightly by an increase in SG&A expenses and a higher tax rate during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

an additional 6.8 percent increase, if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with those in the same period last year. This adverse effect on GAP is primarily due to the declining value of the Canadian dollar and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Revenue grew 13 percent during the first half of 2015 to $271.1 million, compared to $240.4 million in the first half of 2014, as a result of the record GAP and higher revenue rate achieved in the first half this year. Revenue would have been $19.5 million higher, or an additional 7.2 percent increase, if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with those in the same period last year. The revenue rate was 12.22 percent in the first half of 2015, compared to 11.53 percent in the first half of 2014. The increase in the revenue rate is primarily due to the performance of the company’s underwritten business, which is comprised of guarantee and inventory contracts, consistent with the company’s strategic focus on this business. The volume of underwritten business increased slightly to 30 percent during the first half of 2015 compared to 29 percent for the same period in 2014. Operating income grew 33 percent during the first half of 2015 to $92.1 million, compared to $69.4 million in the first half of 2014. This increase is due to revenue growth significantly outpacing the growth of SG&A expenses. Operating income would have been $5.6 million higher, or an additional 6.0 percent increase, if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with those in the same period last year. Operating income margin was 34.0 percent for the first half of 2015, 509 basis points higher than 28.9 percent for the same period last year, primarily due to revenues increasing at a rate higher than SG&A expenses. Diluted EPS for the first half of 2015 was $0.65 per diluted share, a 33 percent increase compared to the first half of 2014. The increase was driven by GAP, revenue and revenue rate growth during the first half of 2015, compared to the same period last year, and other income items, offset slightly by an increase in SG&A expenses and a higher tax rate during the first half of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

Income Statement Scorecard Analysis for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 GAP was $2.2 billion for the first half of 2015, a half year record and a 6 percent increase compared to the first half of 2014. EquipmentOne, the company’s online equipment marketplace, contributed $53.5 million of GTV to GAP in the first half of 2015 compared to $48.0 million in the first half of 2014. GAP for the first half of 2015 would have been $151.6 million higher, or

Balance Sheet Scorecard Analysis as at and for the 12 Months Ended June 30, 2015 Operating free cash flow increased 91 percent to $220.3 million during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $115.3 million during the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is the result of more cash generated by operating activities and less capital spending during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period ended in 2014.

Working capital intensity was minus 23.9 percent for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, an improvement of 806 basis points from minus 15.9 percent for the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. This improvement in working capital intensity is the result of increased revenues and decreased quick operating working capital during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period ended in 2014. The decrease quick operating working capital is primarily the result of decreases in inventory, advances against auction contracts, and trade and other receivable balances. Working capital intensity will fluctuate most significantly as a result of the timing and size of auctions just prior to each period end. The fact that the company’s working capital intensity is negative highlights the minimal amount of working capital required to run the business. CAPEX intensity was 3.2 percent for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 369 basis points from 6.9 percent for the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. This 53 percent decrease is due primarily to a decrease in net capital spending of $16.5 million as a result of disciplined capital spending and strategic investments and the timing of these expenditures. Additionally, revenue increased $34.4 million, or 7 percent, during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period ended in 2014. Return on net assets (“RONA”) for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, was 24.9 percent, an increase of 738 basis points compared to 17.5 percent for the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. This increase was the result of an increase in net operating profit after tax combined with a decrease in adjusted net assets. The decrease in adjusted net assets was driven by an increase in cash and cash equivalents and current liabilities, as well as foreign exchange effects on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets. The increase in current liabilities is primarily due to the reclassification from non-current to current borrowings of a Canadian dollar 60 million term loan in the second quarter of 2015. Management intends to refinance this borrowing when it falls due in May 2016. The reclassification of this borrowing had a positive effect on RONA. Excluding the effects of the reclassification, RONA for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, would have been 22.5 percent, an increase of 495 basis points compared to RONA for the same period ended June 30, 2014. Debt/Adjusted EBITDA decreased to 0.6x for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 0.9x for the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. The company achieved a 12 percent increase in adjusted EBITDA with a lower level of borrowings as at June 30, 2015, compared to June 30, 2014. see RESULTS page 101

Ritchie Bros. Reports $155M in Revenue for Quarter RESULTS from page 96

Dividend information Quarterly dividend — The company declares a 14 percent increase to its quarterly dividend, raising the quarterly cash dividend to $0.16 per common share payable on Sept. 25, 2015, to shareholders of record on Sept. 4, 2015.
