onExpo-Con/AGG and IFPE 2017 attendees clearly came to Las Vegas ready to buy as exhibitors said they had enjoyed tremendous sales activity throughout the week. “This has been one of the best editions of ConExpo-Con/AGG — ever,” said Rich Goldsbury, 2017 ConExpo-Con/AGG chair and CEO and president of Doosan Bobcat North America & Oceania. “Exhibitors are writing sales at an incredible pace, and attendees clearly came to Las Vegas to buy.” “There was an element of confidence and pent-up demand at the show,” said Dave Foster, vice president of marketing & corporate communications of Volvo CE. “These are not tire-kickers.

company, and more than 3-in-5 attendees serve in a decision-making role. • Almost 26,000 international attendees from 150 countries braved global headwinds including a strong dollar and flagging export markets and composed nearly 20 percent of overall attendance. • Attendees purchased a record-breaking 52,000 tickets for education sessions at the show, a 26 percent increase from the 2014 show. Total ticket sales excluding IFPE jumped by more than 27 percent compared with 2014. “I think there is a noticeable difference in the attendees at this show, and the difference is their optimism,” said Gradall Industries President and 2017 Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Chair Michael Haberman. “Optimism was on display throughout the show, and the traffic was excellent.” At the same time, the technological change revolutionizing these industries was pervasive across the shows’ record 2.8 million-plus net sq. ft. of exhibits featuring a record 2,800-plus exhibitors from the leading U.S. and global manufacturers, from multinational giants to small firms with specialized products. The world’s first 3D-printed excavator, the brand-new Tech Experience and a stellar education lineup anchored a forward-looking vision for construction and infrastructure on display at ConExpoCon/AGG and IFPE 2017. “Our shows are renowned as an industry showcase of ‘what’s next,’ and this year’s show did not disappoint. From the new Tech Experience, which highlighted the vital connection between technology and construction to the culmination of AEM’s Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge, this year’s show demonstrated the rapid innovation in our industry,” said Goldsbury. The technological changes revolutionizing construction and manufacturing were a central feature throughout the show. The first-ever Tech Experience pavilion attracted solid traffic throughout the week, as attendees flocked to see the world’s first-ever 3D-printed excavator, hear from industry innovators during a collection of “Tech Talks,” and engage with the conclusion of the Infrastructure Vision 2050

Challenge Finale, which awarded $100,000 in prize money to winners over a crowdsourced competition to develop forward-looking infrastructure solutions. “Keeping pace with technology is critical for our industries’ success and the 3D-printed excavator featuring fluid power innovations, is a perfect example of the shows’ future-forward commitment to explore innovations that are happening now and the exciting possibilities ahead,” said Robert Mortensen, IFPE 2017 chair and president of HUSCO International. At the Tech Experience, three interactive zones gave attendees a firsthand glimpse at the technologies shaping the job sites of tomorrow, infrastructure development and workforce development. The “Tech Talks” forum at the Tech Experience gave attendees a chance to hear from global innovators and technology leaders to discuss what lies ahead. The forum’s content-rich presentations aimed to inspire and inform attendees, with an emphasis on applied and bluesky innovation to benefit infrastructure projects and construction job sites. Among the lineup were Bruce Upbin, vice president of strategic communications, Hyperloop One; D’Arcy Salzmann, senior director, strategy, Microsoft HoloLens & Studio Manager, Future Bureau, Microsoft; Captains Mark & Scott Kelly, former NASA astronauts; and Scott Brusaw, co-founder, Solar Roadways. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) helped to convene a high-level conversation on the future of transportation infrastructure as five finalists squared off in the Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge Finale event. The top winner: a proposal from a pair of University of California-Berkeley students to leverage autonomous vehicle technology to develop a surge-priced “Hyperlane” to ease congestion and improve mobility. AEM launched the incentivized competition to generate crowdsourced solutions to address the future of infrastructure here in America, and throughout the world. The campaign’s three phases — Complain, Dream, and Build — drew hundreds of ideas from across the world about how to revolutionize infrastructure. Attendees and exhibitors partnered to raise over $100,000 to help military veterans find quality through multiple charitable events throughout the week.

Rehabilitation of Landmark Road Nearly Complete

Before beginning the project, they looked at the original construction plans to see how they built the road during the 1930s.

HK Contractors was awarded the Going-to-the-Sun Rehabilitation project, and at the project’s peak, they had nearly 200 employees on site.

and new cross drains to control the water, but Herne said that it was “nothing too out of the ordinary.” Work they subcontracted out included the masonry work, building mechanically stabilized earth walls, traffic control, and rock fall mitigation. The project specifications divided the 50-mi. road into 10 segments, and Herne said the work sequence for each phase was nearly the same each time. “We come in and we do all the subgrade stabilization, all the drainage, and underground drainage. Then as we got up the sides, we do the masonry and the cosmetics,” he said. Stabilization they performed included concrete retaining walls, mechanically stabilized wire walls, compact and grouting, and geotech to stabilize the road. To emphasize the importance of maintaining the historic nature of the roadway, HK Contractors implemented a quality control program for its crew. “We made sure our crews understood the specifications, all the way down to the guy working the shovel,” Herne explained. “[They] understood the quality control specifications of our project so that way we could maintain the integrity of all the historical markers and things of that nature.” Maintaining the historic integri-

This year marks the home stretch of the Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR) rehabilitation, a 10year-long project to restore the nearly 90-year-old road to its former glory. But unlike other road rehabilitation projects where the new construction is noticeable, on the GTSR, motorists would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the new construction and the 1930s’ construction. The 50-mi. (80.5 km) road that bisects Glacier National Park in Montana, has the unique designation of being both a National Historic Landmark and a National Civil Engineering Landmark. What these designations mean is that any construction requires extensive measures to protect and maintain its historic nature. “You can’t just tear into stuff and change things when you get this type of national significance by the Park Service,” explained Jack Gordon, the landscape architect for Glacier National Park. Gordon was involved with the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prior to the project’s start and has overseen the construction for the National Park Service. A part of the EIS, a number of studies reviewed the socio-economic impacts, the engineering

feasibility, the cultural landscape, and economics of the rehabilitation project, and the entire project was overseen by an Advisory Committee that was authorized by the Secretary of Interior. The rehabilitation for GTSR was long overdue, Gordon said. “Given the nature of where the road is, given avalanches, given rock fall, given that we have to snowplow it in the spring, the road just takes quite a beating. Before this rehab started, there were quite a few areas of traffic controlled candles, jersey barrier on the roadside where guard walls had been knocked down, stone masonry facing on concrete walls that was never been completed prior to the rehab. The road kind of looked like hell.” For this reason, when the National Park Service and Federal Highway Administration partnered to tackle the project, they considered it a rehabilitation of the entire road. “It wasn’t just retaining walls and guard walls,” Gordon explained. “It was the whole prism of the road was looked at.” These two agencies also partnered to build the original GTSR, signing a memorandum of agreement that later expanded to all NPS roads in 1926, and Gordon remarked that “it’s pretty cool this partnership is still going on.”

When it came time to select the scenarios under which the rehabilitation would occur, there were two schools of thought: closing the road entirely to vehicles or keeping it open, resulting in higher construction costs and a longer project. Gordon said the former option was not viable, especially since Glacier National Park receives over 2 million visitors a year. “I think early on there was some questioning of why don’t we just close it and ‘Get’r done,’ but given the cost associated with keeping this road open to the regional economy, it was pretty hard for anyone to stomach and that’s why we ended up with alternative we did,” he said. The final accepted construction portion of the project would span 10 years with a price tag of $140 million. The Columbia Falls office of HK Contractors was awarded the contract. “The fact it was a 10-year project, besides the longevity and the fact that it was in a national park and with the Federal Highway Administration, it interested the group that I work within HK that specifically targets federal projects,” said Don Herne, project manager for the GTSR project since its start. A large portion of the work was road stabilization, which required new culverts, resurfacing drainage,

ty of the 22-ft.-wide (6.7 m) road proved to be one of the challenges, and in the end there were only two places where the road was altered for safety purposes. In the alpine section, a stone face was cut into to allow for traffic flow during the construction, and they also realigned a portion of the road near a scenic turnout so visitors wouldn’t have to cross the road. In addition to the road stabilization, there was extensive stone masonry work, which had its own challenges. “The stone had to match the indigenous stone that was used on the road when the road was first built, so we went through a long tedious learning curve with this stone production and finding the right stone,” Gordon said. Herne said that it was a challenge finding enough rock to match the buckskin Helena formation limestone used in the original masonry, and the nearest source found was on Plum Creek Property 60 mi. (96.56 km) away. Although the masons were able to salvage some of the existing rock, they trucked in 4,000 to 5000 tons (3628.7 to 4535.9 t) of rock; some was stockpiled for later use. Another challenge was matching the existing grout color, and he said that after a few trials, they finally figured out the formula. see ROAD page 42

Rowe Teams With This Old House for Work Ethic Scholarships ROWE from page 1

According to Rowe, several “myths” about the construction industry have contributed to the skills shortage that exists today, including the perception that children should not be encouraged to pick up skilled trades. “If being a stockbroker is better than being a welder, then how do you explain all of the miserable stock brokers?” he said. “How do you explain all of the happy welders? It’s a fundamental disconnect. I know lots of people that are unhappy in careers that have been deemed aspirational, and I know lots of people that are happy in jobs that have been deemed secondary.” When it comes to raising children and talking about meaningful work, he said parents and educators want to have a plan or a playbook, however, there isn’t one, so they push children toward careers that have been deemed more appealing. Meanwhile, thousands of high-paying jobs are being left on the table because parents are worried their children won’t be happy. So, what can be done to change this perception? Rowe said it starts by “making work fun again.” It’s personal, he said. For example, one person might like certain books, TV shows and food while another doesn’t. That decision can’t be forced on someone, but it is done with work. Dirty Jobs did what no other show before it did: shine a spotlight on other options. Rowe said that he never went out to change peoples’ minds about the jobs, but simply, to show people and help them understand that these jobs are essential. What would the world be like without brick layers? Rowe had a simple answer — we would be living in straw houses. Rowe’s involvement with the industry goes beyond his work on Dirty Jobs. During his most recent appearance before Congress, he advocated for the promotion of skilled trade opportunities in connection with revamping the Perkins Act, which aims to increase the quality of technical education. Rowe used Skills USA, an organization supporting students who want to get involved in technical, skilled and service occupations, as an example of one of these opportunities. He said what impressed him most when he first learned about Skills USA was its willingness to pick up the slack when vo-tech programs were pulled from high school curriculums. Alternatively, he was dismayed that few knew about the program, which stems from a fundamental problem about these initiatives. “Part of what I said to Congress was that we need to shine a light on organizations like Skills USA and Project Jumpstart in Baltimore and many others who are doing something that’s moving the needle. People need to know about it,” Rowe said. Project Jumpstart is a 14-week intensive

construction-training program started by the Associated Builders and Contractors of Baltimore to address a shortage of workers and employs both classroom and on-the-job training. The program has trained those deemed unemployable by helping them overcome obstacles to success, such as a lack of a vehicle, and providing stipends while they train, which can be lost if they violate the rules (using their cell phone in class, coming to class late, etc.). The program provides real-world consequences to train students for real-world jobs. In addition to working with Congress, Rowe also raises awareness for the industry and the skills gap through the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. His organization of which he is CEO is a charity that raises money for the Work Ethic Scholarship Program. These scholarships are awarded to people who are willing to be trained for jobs in fields that are seeking skilled workers. To date, the foundation has granted more than $3 million to trade schools around the country, according to the web site. Recently, mikeroweWORKS caught the eye of Eric Thorkilsen, CEO of This Old House Ventures LLC, producers of the PBS series This Old House. Rowe said This Old House is on the leading edge of the skills gap. The show already had a PR campaign regarding skilled jobs, but Thorkilsen wanted to expand on that and started a scholarship program, Generation Next. Thorkilsen was looking at various programs to model Generation Next after when he landed on Rowe’s own initiative, mikeroweWORKS Foundation. After meeting with Rowe and learning about this program, Thorkilsen decided rather than imitate Rowe’s success, it would make more sense

to join forces. So far, Generation Next has raised $500,000 for mikeroweWORKS, which is giving the money away in the form of Work Ethic Scholarships. In addition, Rowe said that the house for This Old House’s 20172018 season will be sold and all profits will benefit the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Rowe also has raised thousands of dollars for mikeroweWORKS by making it personal. In addition to speaking to Congress and working with This Old House, he has gone as far as to sacrifice his own pants and other personal items for his “Collectibles Rare and Precious” (C.R.A.P.) auctions to benefit his foundation. He said it’s one way to make a topic like closing the skills gap more accessible. In the case of his pants, Rowe said that Judy Muche of The Quilt Cabinet reached out to him with a desire to help his foundation, so he sent her eight pairs of pants. She made quilts, bags, earrings and all kinds of crazy stuff, according to Rowe. In the end, the auctions raised tens of thousands of dollars. One of the reasons his desire to help the industry is so personal for Rowe stems back to his childhood. He said after watching his grandfather as a child, he was certain he would follow in his footsteps. “I was wrong, not because I didn’t want to, but because the handy gene is recessive and I didn’t get it,” he said. “What I got was an appreciation for the work, and to this day, I see this magic,” he said. While he couldn’t cut it in the skill trades, Rowe said he did eventually get to the point where he could sell a show, Dirty Jobs, which he sees as an exhibition of his appreciation for the trades and hard work, in general.

During his time on Dirty Jobs, Rowe had the opportunity to operate a variety of equipment, and reminisced about some of his favorites, including an electromagnet attachment, which he used to pick up cars. Other favorites included a heavy-duty excavator and a truck with “two-and-a-half-story tires.” “People toss me the keys to anything. I flipped a Bobcat skid steer once,” he said. “I was in Alaska cleaning up an oil spill in snow, so we were just scooping up all the petroleum soaked snow and flipped the thing right over. It was exciting. Another guy asked me on camera once, ‘can you fly a helicopter?’ I’m like, ‘I never tried.’ He said, ‘do you want to try?’ People were like, ‘we are on TV, it’s Discovery, what could go wrong?’” Rowe said there was absolutely no playbook for Dirty Jobs, which surprised people. “It showed hundreds of people doing jobs that we were told were no good, having a great time. It challenged the existing expectation,” he said. The mikeroweWORKS Foundation and Work Ethic Scholarship is a continuation of that effort — to shine light on “dirty” jobs and get the word out that there is more than one path to success. The 2017 Work Ethic Scholarship opens for applications on March 20. For more information about mikeroweWORKS and how to apply for the scholarship, visit mikeroweworks.org/scholarship.

‘The Pit’ Receives Kudos for Going Green ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) The University of New Mexico’s legendary basketball arena, a mid-century fixture that was modernized as part of a multimillion-dollar renovation a few years ago, is being recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council. Built in 1966, The Pit is one of college basketball’s most famous — and loudest — buildings. Now, the council has included the arena in a report showcasing some of the most impressive sporting venues, convention centers and other public gathering spaces that have transformed their environmental footprint. Since renovations were completed in 2010, The Pit has boosted its water savings by nearly 50 percent and energy savings has been calculated at more than 20 percent. By preserving much of the existing building, construction waste was limited and nearly all of the materials from the demolition were recycled. John Pate of MolzenCorbin , the architecture firm hired for the renovation, called The Pit one of the most unique sporting venues in the world. Its sunken court has attracted more than 13 million fans over five decades. “Saving the building from demolition while preserving its cherished atmosphere set up conditions to accomplish the most sustainable of design and construction efforts: reimagining an exciting sports venue, reusing all that was good and integrating new, sustainable technologies,” Pate said in a statement. The Green Building Council has estimated that buildings

certified under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, or LEED, can save more than $2 billion in combined energy, water and maintenance savings over a three-year period. As for collegiate sports programs, the council contends that they have the ability to reach the largest and most diverse audiences through their commitments to greener practices. So far, more than 3,700 higher education projects across the country, including sporting venues, are LEEDcertified. The University of North Texas’ stadium, Middlebury’s field house with its competition track and synthetic turf infield and UC-Berkeley’s California Memorial Stadium also were highlighted in the report, along with performing art centers in Louisiana, New York and Pennsylvania. In Albuquerque, fans are greeted by a modern skin of steel and glass that envelops what was once an aging and inefficient building. On the north and east sides, high glass walls offer views of downtown and the Sandia Mountains. With the playing surface 37 ft. below street level, the building used to look more like a warehouse when viewed from outside. The Pit hosted the 1983 Final Four as well as numerous regional and early-round NCAA competitions over the years.

Earthmoving Contractor Expands Fleet to Tackle Bigger Jobs By John Bauer SPECIAL TO CEG

Wilcoxen Construction is an earthmoving and demolition company based in Avon, Ill. The business was founded in 1991, but Richard Wilcoxen has been moving dirt since he was a young man. “When I was a kid I used to run around with the tractor and loader and try and build and fix wash-outs and dry dams,” he explained. “Then I got a bulldozer and just got bigger and bigger. I just like being outside and playing in the dirt.” Wilcoxen owns a fleet of earthmoving equipment including dozers, excavators, CTLs and backhoes, and as an owner-operator he covers a lot of ground. “We do lot of farm work, [earthen] dams and terraces. We’ve built quite a few ponds this year. We’ve done room additions. We’ve done large building demolition. We do septic tanks. We pour some concrete — a little bit of everything.” The company recently purchased two new pieces of equipment from Gregg Kromphardt at Birkey’s — a Case CX210D excavator and a Case 1150M crawler dozer. In both cases, each machine represented a step up in size and power from previous machines to allow his company to take on bigger projects. When it comes to purchasing decisions, Wilcoxen said that it comes down to a few simple things. “Reliability, parts available and quick service. If they’re loyal to me, I’m loyal to them.” Increasing Speed, Reducing Fuel With the CX210D Wilcoxen previously owned an older Case 9020 excavator, but he needed something with more power and a manageable footprint that would still work with his existing trucks and trailers. “The CX210D, it was a little bit lighter [than larger models] and it had lots of power. I thought it had plenty of power and our dealer brought it out and we tried it and we really liked it. We looked at a larger excavator but it was a lot heavier and had to have more permits and a larger trailer to move it around.” The CX210D weighs 48,973 lbs. (22,213 kg) and is powered by a 160 hp Tier IV Final engine. The excavator relies on a combination of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) technologies, which helps maximize uptime and performance — all with minimal maintenance. There is no diesel particulate filter (DPF), no DPF regeneration or associated lifetime service costs. These technologies, combined with the Case intelligent hydraulic system, make the CX210D among the most powerful and efficient Case excavators ever

Wilcoxen Construction recently purchased two new pieces of equipment from Gregg Kromphardt at Birkey’s — a Case CX210D excavator and a Case 1150M crawler dozer.

introduced, according to the manufacturer. Wilcoxen is already impressed by the excavator’s fuel efficiency, speed and smooth operation. “This CX210D, it will do twice the work or more and burns half the fuel. The most we’ve ever burned in a 12-hour day was about thirty-six gallons. If you’ve got a machine burning forty gallons a day at $1.80, at $2 a gallon, that’s a savings of $80 a day. If you figure that up over thirty days, that makes a payment.” “It’s quiet and it burns hardly any fuel. It’s got plenty of power and you can set it for how much RPM’s you want and how much your hydraulic pumps pump. If you’re really into something tough, you can turn it up and it’s smooth and fast.” The CX210D features a new electronically controlled pump, a larger control valve and multiple sensors — all which combine with the Case intelligent hydraulic system (CIHS) to make the best use of the machine’s power and momentum to achieve cycle times up to 9 percent faster. “We do a lot of dirt work where we load semi trailers and you don’t want to be paying a semi $100 an hour to sit around waiting on you,” said Wilcoxen. “We tore out a levee and had twenty-two trucks and they never waited — we were waiting on them. About five buckets full and we had a semi loaded. It was fast.” Power and speed are always important, but the ability to operate smoothly also is important to Wilcoxen.

“You don’t want a machine jerking, we put in a lot of pipe and work on some bridges and sometimes we use the excavator to set beams down in there. You want something really smooth — you don’t want it jerking around.” Greater Dozer Power With the 1150M Wilcoxen also upgraded from an older model Case 850L dozer to a new 1150M, which comes standard with many new features like best-in-class draw-bar pull, improved visibility, a quieter cab and adjustable operator controls. “We had an 850 for about a year or so and we got to tearing out trees and we were tearing out trees bigger than the 850 would push, so we wanted to get a bigger one,” Wilcoxen said. “They brought us this 1150 to try and it rode well, it’s quiet. It’s comfortable and you can set the speed forward and back, how fast you want it to go from forward and reverse.” The more robust Tier IV Final 1150M offered Wilcoxen additional advantages. “It’ll push a lot more. It’s a little bit bigger. The 850 was a 4 cylinder, and the 1150M is a 6 cylinder. It’s got more torque in it. It rides a lot better. It’s just heavier. I think it’s more comfortable than the other one. They’ve changed the seat in them. Air ride seat, and the controls are a little bit smoother to run. The machine has a lot of improvements on it.” The 1150M dozer features customizable steering, shuttle and blade settings that allow the operator to fine-tune the machine to the

task at hand. “If you got finish work like grading a parking lot, you can slow everything down and do a lot better job than if you get out where you’re wanting to really move some dirt, you can speed everything up. It’s nice that way.” Planned Maintenance and the Right Dealer Partner Both new machines come standard with Case ProCare, which includes a three-year, 3,000-hour full-machine factory warranty; three-year, 3,000-hour planned maintenance contract; and a three-year Advanced CASE SiteWatch telematics subscription. Wilcoxen and his team will often handle basic maintenance items, but Birkey’s handles all of their planned maintenance that is covered through Case ProCare. “They come out and they change the oil and everything in them for us. They come right out to where we’re working and do it. They’re real good about that.” Wilcoxen Construction will continue to grow, and as the jobs get bigger, Wilcoxen has been considering even larger machines. “We’ve got some terrace jobs to do. We’ve got one big levee job to do and a terrace job, and if we get a couple more of them, we’re talking about getting a 1650M.” John Bauer, is brand marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment.

Beyond Buckets — Five Attachments to Improve Versatility By Aaron Kleingartner

• Moil tool point — used for everyday demolition applications • Chisel tool point — provides more breaker control when a breaker is being used for general excavation or cutting concrete for trenching • Blunt tool point — easily breaks and fractures large pieces of concrete or block in heavy construction applications • Pyramidal tool point — used for breaking hard, abrasive material in demolition applications Additionally, some manufacturers provide an automatic lubrication (greasing) system for their hydraulic breakers that delivers a constant flow of grease and eliminates manual greasing intervals. This can save you and your excavator operators labor-intensive time, money down the road and help to avoid over-greasing the attachment. 3. Clamps (excavators) Hydraulic and pro-link wedge lock clamps can expand excavator versatility when paired with multiple bucket widths and lengths. Clamps enable precise movement and positioning, and help secure material for superior loading and material-han-

SPECIAL TO CEG

Heavy equipment may be more versatile than you think, especially when paired with the right attachments. If you are just using buckets, you may be losing out on revenue growth opportunities by not considering attachments to increase your equipment’s versatility. Instead of only owning basic attachments, such as buckets for your excavator or wheel loader, you should consider purchasing or renting unique attachments. Moving beyond buckets can help expand your traditional excavating and grading business year-round, such as adding land-clearing projects when you’re unable to dig; replacing less-efficient machines; lowering operating costs and increasing productivity. Power tilting couplers, hydraulic breakers, clamps, snow pushers and multi-purpose buckets are five of the most popular excavator and wheel loader attachments that offer a low initial investment with a high rate of return. These five attachments can provide a more cost-effective alternative than renting or adding other dedicated machines on your jobsites. 1. Power tilting couplers (excavators) Investing in excavator attachments can help you adjust to changing market segments. Power tilting couplers may replace multiple attachments, coupled with manual labor, on a job site. When paired with an excavator, a power tilting coupler can be angled 90 degrees left or right for up to 180 degrees of flexibility. Increased attachment flexibility can help your operators save valuable time because they may not need to reposition the excavator as frequently while working, or stop to change attachments to perform certain tasks. This is especially beneficial when operating a hydraulic breaker to help demolish concrete or when working under or around objects, such as an underground pipe. This attachment can be most useful for those working in general excavation, underground utility, grading and erosion control applications.

When paired with an excavator, a power tilting coupler can be angled 90 degrees left or right for up to 180 degrees of flexibility.

2. Hydraulic breakers (excavators) If you are running a dedicated excavator only for heavy digging applications, you may be missing an opportunity. For instance, demolition and rock-breaking applications require a reliable attachment, such as a hydraulic breaker, to help optimize productivity. The nitrogen-powered breakers are equipped with an upper/lower suspension system that isolates the power unit from the housing, making it an ideal fit for a variety of demanding applications. In addition, many manufacturers offer breakers with two-speed controls that can be manually adjusted

between low- and high-frequency settings. This allows the operator to match the breaker impact rate to the working conditions for better productivity. Hydraulic breakers also offer a variety of tool points, so it is important to match the right tool point to the application for maximum jobsite production. Four common tool points include:

Multi-purpose buckets can load, carry and dump granular materials; grab irregularly shaped objects; and doze, level or spread soil and fill.

dling applications. When not in use, the clamps can be retracted, making the attachment excellent for demolition, site preparation and land-clearing applications. 4. Snow pushers (wheel loaders) Transform your wheel loaders into all-season machines when paired with a snow pusher attachment. This attachment can be mounted directly to general purpose or light-material wheel loader buckets, depending on the manufacturer, to help easily clear parking lots, driveways and roadways. If your wheel loaders sit idle in winter, consider renting a snow pusher attachment to move large amounts of snow quickly. 5. Multi-purpose buckets (wheel loaders) Multi-purpose buckets can add versatility to wheel loaders, allowing for improved digging and bucket filling. They can load, carry and dump granular materials; grab irregularly shaped objects; and doze, level or spread soil and fill. Many manufacturers offer multi-purpose buckets with reinforced mounting plates for longer service life and reduced maintenance.

Attachment connection systems and auxiliary hydraulics allow many sizes of crawler or wheel excavators to be effective tool carriers for a wide assortment of attachments. Additionally, wheel loaders offer machinespecific attachments that have turned these heavy-duty machines into all-season assets. So before adding a dedicated piece of heavy equipment to your fleet, look at renting or buying special attachments, such as power tilting couplers, hydraulic breakers and clamps for excavators; or snow pushers and multi-purpose buckets for wheel loaders. These attachments can help you expand your business beyond earthmoving projects and can produce a higher return on investment.

Q-Safe Coupler Increases Productivity Engcon, a 26-year-old $90 million Swedish firm, offers an excavator coupling system that provides a safe, convenient, time-saving way to connect and disconnect mechanical and hydraulic attachments on an excavator in just 10 seconds while the operator remains in the cab, according to the manufacturer. Q-Safe, Engcon’s hydraulic quick coupler or hitch lock, and EC-Oil, Engcon’s automatic oil coupling system for hydraulic and electrical connection, allow an excavator operator to change hydraulic tools such as hammers or grabbers, or disconnect a tiltrotator, quickly and safely. At one construction site, an operator needed to switch tools six times per hour. In an eight-hour day, the operator transitioned tools 48 times. A manual switch typically took him 90 seconds, which adds up to 4,320 seconds of non-productive tool-switching time. But, using Engon’s device, each tool transition act took 10 seconds — or 480 seconds in a day, saving 3,840 seconds per day. That’s a savings of 64 minutes daily — more than one hour of increased productivity, that, over the course of a job, adds up to real dollars.

Q-Safe, Engcon’s hydraulic quick coupler or hitch lock, and EC-Oil, Engcon’s automatic oil coupling system for hydraulic and electrical connection, allow an excavator operator to change hydraulic tools such as hammers or grabbers, or disconnect a tiltrotator, quickly and safely.

It’s not only fast, it’s safe. Engcon’s design eliminates the possibility of incorrect excavator tool connection. The risk of incorrect coupling has simply been designed out. About Engcon Engcon manufactures a complete range of tiltrotators, quick couplers, control systems and tools for excavators in the 1.65 to 35.2 ton (1.5 to 32 t)

range. Engcon is a privately-owned Group with its parent company, Engcon Holding AB, based in Strömsund, Sweden. In 2016, the Engcon Group achieved $90 million in sales with 200 employees.

Topcon’s Technology Improves Alaskan Firm’s Productivity By Jeff Winke SPECIAL TO CEG

Palmer, Alaska, has just under 6,000 residents, but as a commercial and cultural center for the region it draws visitors from well beyond its city boundaries. Come the end of summer, the annual week-and-a-half long Alaska State Fair, located in Palmer, can draw more than 300,000 visitors. The fairgrounds are located approximately one hour north of Anchorage, which helps explain how Palmer and the fairgrounds can draw such large numbers. An indicator of how Palmer, which was established around a 1930s New Deal farm colony has changed, can be seen in the growth of the Palmer big-box Fred Meyer store. Built about 10 years ago — and the smallest in Fred Meyer’s retail network at 66,000 sq. ft. (6,132 sq m) — the Palmer store was built much to the chagrin of many locals who feared the end of their quaint, small-town community. Fred Meyer is owned by The Kroger Co., one of the nation’s largest grocery retailers. During the years, Palmer residents made peace with its Fred Meyer store. The location is big enough to offer groceries and other items including a little clothing — socks, jeans and underwear. Recent scuttlebutt was that the store was so successful it was outgrowing its “small” space. When Palmer community affairs manager Melinda Merrill confirmed that Portland-based Fred Meyer plans to build a new store on the other side of the Glenn Highway from the current location, she pointed out that although the store was small it had significant sales volume. She said: “The business is big. Our community can support a bigger store. It does far more business than most stores its size.” With the demolition of a vacant 30-year-old shopping center, the site was readied Dirtworks photo for the new 100,000 sq. ft. For Dirtworks, the use of machine control and site positioning technol(9,290 sq m) Fred Meyer. ogy is new.

The Topcon 3D-MC² dozer system is designed to achieve finish grade with the machine traveling at a faster speed.

The new store is expected to cost $20 million to $30 million to build, and is expecting to add 100 jobs. The big-box builder giant ESI or Engineered Structures Inc., Boise, Idaho, won the contract as general contractor for the Palmer Fred Meyer. ESI concentrates on commercial construction, primarily for major retail outlets such as Fred Meyer, Albertson’s, Wal-Mart, Staples, Home Depot and other bigbox stores in all of the Western states. “We were sub-contracted, by ESI, to perform the civil site work, and site balance to include importexport, waterline installation, storm drain installation, sewer installation, and all excavation for the concrete foundation, sidewalk, and curb,” stated Scottie Johnson, project manager with Dirtworks, Inc., Palmer, Alaska. “The contract value for our work on the project was $1.9 million.” The residential and commercial construction company, Dirtworks, was started in 1989 and has expanded gradually ever since completing projects for individual residents to large, complex municipal and commercial projects. The company has also completed work for the Alaska DOT and Public Facilities.

The site had a small commercial building, which housed a grocery store until 2010. That store opted to build a new location across the road too, on the other side of the Glenn Highway where the new Fred Meyer store is being built. Plans call for the new Palmer Fred Meyer to give shoppers more of the full-line amenities found in larger Fred Meyer stores. The store will feature more furniture, apparel and garden supplies, as well as expanded natural food sections. The condition of the 10-acre site was flat with a large, approximately 66,000 cu. yd. (50,461 cu m) hill that ran along the back and around the corner. The majority of the job site was previously occupied by the grocery store. But in order to fit the new bigger Fred Meyer store the site needed to be bigger. The soil was sandy gravel with big rock and silty brown topsoil type material. Dirtworks approached the site as a site balance project, utilizing the hill on the back half of the property for fill. “The project was to be started around the first week of May 2016, but we were able to start in April,” Johnson said. “We were given a month to get the majority of the site balanced and the new building slab area approved and ready for the footings to be dug.” For the project, Dirtworks used three mid-size hydraulic excavators that included a Case CX460, a Hitachi ZX350LC-6 and a Hitachi EX200LC-5. They also had a pair of 40-ton (36 t) rock trucks, a Cat D-5K dozer equipped with Topcon 3D-MC² GPS machine control system. They also used a combo Topcon HiPer V receiver rover and base station and a hand-held or rod mounted Tesla data collector. “The biggest challenge on this project was the tight deadline we needed to adhere to so that the new store could open on time,” said Johnson. “Two things that helped with these challenges was the ability to start a month earlier than originally scheduled, and having our dozer equipped with GPS machine control, which helped us quickly achieve accurate grade.” There were no early completion incentives, but there were penalties for the general contractor if milestones were not met. see TOPCON page 38

Topcon’s 3D-MC² Dozer System Put to Test on Alaska Project TOPCON from page 34

The Topcon 3D-MC² dozer system is designed to achieve finish grade with the machine traveling at a faster speed. Traditional finish grading with a dozer generally will take multiple passes at slower speeds. “The GPS machine control system meant we could run the dozer faster and with its accuracy we could pretty much achieve finish grade in one pass,” Johnson stated. “Less dozer time on the job translates to less fuel, less machine wear, and we were able to keep the project on schedule and on budget.” For Dirtworks the use of machine control and site positioning technology is new to them. “We learned about this technology from GPS Alaska, our local Anchorage Topcon dealer,” Johnson said. “They stopped by our office and talked about the equipment with us and we liked what we heard. We actually bought a Topcon Tesla handheld data collector and two HiPer V pollmounted base and rover combo GNSS receivers. We didn’t have a job for the equipment at the time or any experience with it, but made the investment because I always thought doing things with tape measures, stakes and lasers was slow and time consuming. Once I was told that you will have cut-fill information anywhere you set this thing within the project I was sold.” Dirtworks currently owns four HiPer V base-rover combos, two Tesla data collectors, and a dual 3D-MC² dozer system. The Topcon HiPer V base-rover combo is considered an all-on-thepole GNSS receiver that can use 226 channels to lock in a satellite signal. Smaller than a tablet computer, the palm-size, touch-screen Tesla data collector is designed to be flexible. It can be hand-held to provide a vertical screen orientation or affixed to the GNSS receiver rod to provide a horizontal-screen orientation. “Our experience so far with GPS machine control and site positioning technology has been great,” stated Johnson. “It quickly is becoming something where we are almost forgetting how to work

without it — interestingly, even for our guys that have spent their entire careers not using this kind of technology, they are almost lost without it now.” For the Palmer Fred Meyer project, Dirtworks used a HiPer V base-rover combo, a Tesla data collector, and the GPS grade control system on its dozer. The Topcon systems were used throughout the entire project to control the production. “The thing that is so nice when using technology is that even on a site this big with a good map and model we can hand the data collector to anyone on the crew and get usable information,” Johnson explained. “We bid the project to be a site balance, using onsite materials to bring the site up to grade by removing the material from the back of the property and spreading over the remainder of the site. “Our figures were based on the provided geo-technical report which provided a bore log in the top, tallest and fattest part of the hill, showing gravel from top to bottom. Only problem…as it turned out, where they punched the

bore log happened to be the only area where there was usable gravel. Just beyond this bore log, the gravel disappeared and became unusable silty material. This meant that the project went from a quick excavator and rock-truck show to a highway truck job. The silty unusable material had to be hauled away and better usable material needed to be imported. It is always quicker to move material on site with rock trucks than it is to use highway trucks. So, we needed to make sure we were always able to run the maximum amount of highway trucks that the loader at the offsite pit could handle, along with the help of our excavator loading trucks off site. “This is where the machine control on the dozer became so key. I do not believe that if we were using traditional hubs and stakes, we wouldn’t have been able to maximize the trucks like we did in order to keep the fast pace we needed.” Johnson concluded that without the Topcon systems used on the Fred Meyer site, the project would have required more people, time and “just energy spent taking the necessary steps to ensure the site is

For Dirtworks, the adoption of machine control and site positioning technology appears to be changing how it approaches the market.

moving in the right direction.” For Dirtworks, the adoption of machine control and site positioning technology appears to be changing how they approach their market. “I don’t know yet if our new technology will make a difference on how we bid against the compe-

tition,” said Johnson. “It has given us confidence knowing that we will have complete grade control of a project site no matter what the size, utilizing minimal personnel.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Mack Trucks Offers Connectivity for Older Vehicles Mack Trucks is bringing its uptime solutions to customers with Mack legacy vehicles. Working with its partner Geotab, a global provider of end-to-end telematics technology, Mack now offers connectivity for older Mack vehicles that are not equipped with its GuardDog Connect telematics hardware, helping to maximize customer uptime. “The benefits of Mack’s uptime solutions are proven, with significant reductions in diagnostic and repair times,” said David Pardue, Mack Trucks vice president of connected vehicles and uptime services. “We are pleased to partner with Geotab and offer those same benefits to customers who own Mack legacy vehicles.” After installing a small Geotab telematics device, the Mack Uptime Center will be able to monitor the same critical vehicle codes as Mack’s GuardDog Connect hardware. If an issue is detected, Mack OneCall agents will evaluate and provide the customer’s designated contact with decision-critical information through Mack ASIST, an online communications and service management portal. Repair scheduling, as well as parts and service bay availability, also are confirmed, all while the truck is still on the job. Mack’s uptime support is managed through the Mack Uptime Center, which is located near Mack headquarters in

Greensboro, N.C. Personnel from every customer support function are housed in the Uptime Center, enabling crossfunctional teams to quickly and efficiently address customer issues impacting uptime. Geotab is a world leader in telematics technology and builds analytic, telematics and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. Geotab systems are built from the ground up and utilize sophisticated encryption, helping ensure data security. Geotab manages more than 670,000 connected vehicles globally. “As an IoT hub, Geotab’s telematics device gathers accurate diagnostic intelligence that is trusted by many to improve vehicle uptime,” said Neil Cawse, CEO, Geotab. “We’re proud to partner with Mack, creating a powerful solution that will offer new levels of ROI to legacy Mack vehicles.” Mack’s GuardDog Connect service contact for legacy vehicles, which includes the Geotab vehicle tracking device, will be available for order through Mack dealers beginning May 1, 2017, and is compatible with all model year 2011 and newer Mack vehicles equipped with Mack engines. Installation is plug-and-play, followed by a brief activation and onboarding process.

Anticipated Kenworth T880S Features Set-Forward Front Axle

The Kenworth T880S features a set-forward front axle, which makes it the go-to configuration for mixer customers needing to comply with federal bridge formulas.

The Kenworth T880S has been a much-anticipated option for mixer body builders and their customers needing to meet the federal bridge formula. The Kenworth T880S features a set-forward front axle, which makes it the go-to configuration for mixer customers needing to comply with federal bridge formulas. “We’re glad production is rolling, and the response has been great,” said Tom Harris, McNeilus vice president of concrete mixers. “A large percentage of our orders are for the set-forward configuration.” We’re recommending the T880S be spec’d with the PACCAR MX-11 engine, which saves our customers significant weight [400 pounds over a 13-liter

engine] while supplying enough power to get the job done.” Harris said Kenworth is a preferred supplier to McNeilus and the company has always done a great job of building its trucks with the mixer market in mind. “Our customers appreciate the little things that Kenworth does to make a great mixer truck,” he said. “The cowl-mounted mirrors are an example. A driver will typically have the door open when at a job site, but they’ll also use the mirrors and that can only be done if it’s cowl-mounted.” A big fan of the T880, Harris said the bigger windshield and lines of sight are a welcome addition, “along with the ergonomics and the quietness of the cab,” he added. “The T880 is just a great truck for our market.”

The T880S is available with a set-forward front axle ranging from 14,600 to 22,800 lbs. (6,622 to 10,342 kg) and is available with a 114-in. (289 cm) BBC and 28-in. (71 cm) bumper setting as well as 29.5 and 31.5-in. (75 and 80 cm) bumper settings as options for dump truck, crane, or other construction applications. The bumper setting is especially important in complying with federal bridge formula where the chassis is required to stay under 40 ft. (12 m) in length. For more information, visit www.kenworth.com.

Ox Bodies Helps Operators Maximize Payload With TrailMaker Ox Bodies Inc., a Truck Bodies and Equipment International Inc. (TBEI) company, helps operators maximize payload on every haul they make with the introduction of its TrailMaker dump body. The TrailMaker is constructed of carbon steel that offers the weight of aluminum, making it up to 35 percent lighter than standard Ox Bodies dump bodies, according to the manufacturer. “Many operators are looking for dump bodies that have a reduced weight and stand up to the wear and tear caused by asphalt and gritty construction aggregates,” said Jim Bray, sales and marketing manager, Ox Bodies Inc. “The TrailMaker dump body was developed to address these needs. Its reduced weight offers operators greater payload capacity while retaining the inherent strength of steel.” Designed specifically for the transportation of sand, dirt, asphalt and small construction aggregates, the TrailMaker is available in 14to 20-ft. (4.2 to 6 m) body lengths and offers capacities ranging from

Crews Rise to Challenge on Historic Restoration of Going-to-the-Sun Road ROAD from page 12

Federal Highway Administration photo

Guinette out of Vancouver Wash., and Anderson Masonry out of Bigfork Mont., were the primary contractors, and of their work, Gordon said, “They’ve just done a stellar job.” For Herne, he said that the historic nature was “a good challenge” and on this project, it was the masonry work that proved challenging instead of the landscaping, which was the case on previous National Park Service projects. That being said, “the traffic control logistics of the public traffic were probably one of the largest headache,” he admitted. Although 30-minute traffic delays were permitted, Herne said that during the months of high traffic flow, June through August, crews actually only had 15 minutes of production time in the alpine section to move equipment. Yet what surprised Gordon was how few complaints they received regarding the traffic delays. He attributed this to visitors being able to get out of their cars and take in the view, something they otherwise couldn’t have done had the road remained open. At the project’s peak from 2009 to 2012, there were nearly 200 employees “crawling on the mountain,” and we were working on two to three phases at a time, Herne said. In spite of the traffic impacts, they were either ahead or on schedule for every section of the road. Crews are currently finishing the east entrance station and the quartermile long road before moving onto the

A large portion of the Going-to-theSun Rehabilitation project consisted of stone masonry work that was performed by Guinette and Anderson Masonry.

One of the challenges with the stone work was the replacement stone had to match the existing stone that was used when the road was first built.

final phase of the project, which is along Lake McDonald. Before beginning the project, Herne said they looked at the original construction plans to see how they built the road during the 1930s. “It was absolutely impressive,” he said, adding, that he’s developed a “good appreciation for what they were able to do and accomplish back then especially in the conditions. Obviously they didn’t have the traffic loads we do, but just the time frame they were able to do the work in was impressive.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

79th Oregon Logging Conference Bigger, Better Than Ever

ore than 6,000 industry professionals from 37 U.S. states, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Russia and Sweden attended the 79th Annual Oregon Logging Conference (OLC), held Feb. 23 to 25, 2017 at the Lane County Events Center and Fairgrounds in Eugene, Ore. Also, more than 6,000 people from local schools and the general public participated in the various activities associated with OLC on Saturday, Feb. 27 when the show was open free. “The 79th conference surpasses the successful event from 2016, with more than 250 exhibitors displaying in over 90,000 sq. ft. of inside exhibit space and millions of dollars of logging, trucking, construction and heavy equipment displayed on more than 14 acres of outside exhibit area,” said Rikki Wellman, OLC conference manager. Jeff Wimer, 79th Annual OLC president, said the success of the conference shows that the logging and related industries are thriving. “Quality speakers spoke to packed rooms during the keynote address, panel sessions and seminars, presenting timely information on hot topics in the industry today,” said Wimer. Topics included steep slope logging; state-of-the-art technology; and how to attract a new generation of professionals into the industry. “Equipment exhibitors were happy with the interactions they had with those attending the conference, and the overall attitude was positive,” Wimer said. “Even the weather cooperated, at least for the most part, during the conference.” Keynote speaker Merv George Jr., forest supervisor of Six Rivers National Forest in northern California told a capacity crowd that collaboration is a key to moving forward. “If I have a gift, it’s getting people to work together,” George said. “We can do anything when people decide to come together.” He urged more focus on active management on federal land, because without it he predicted more large fires.

“The amount of money being spent on fire suppression is staggering,” he said. And he suggested the money being used for fire suppression be put towards timber sales instead. The Oregon Logging Conference Foundation Live Auction, held during opening breakfast, brought in more than $24,000 for college scholarships for the 2017-2018 school year. OLS would like to thank all donors and bidders for the educational support.

opportunity to learn about logging and related industries. Students from Eugene, Springfield, Coburg, Cottage Grove and Pleasant Hill were guided by OLC board members and forestry professionals to get a first-hand look at equipment and other aspects of the industry. The High School Skills Competition consisted of 28 students from three Oregon high schools competing for top honors in a logging competition. Students from Philomath, Sweet Home, and for the first time, Tillamook High Schools competed in choker setting, cable splicing, crosscut sawing, power bucking, and arbor climbing. These students are learning the skills necessary to become the next generation of the logging industry. Saturday Family Day The sun was shining on the final day of the 79th Oregon Logging Conference, when families and interested members of the general public attend free of charge.

Rototilt Celebrates a Decade in North America Thirty years ago a product was born that would change an entire industry. Rototilt now celebrates a decade since the establishment of its own dedicated North American company based in Ontario, Canada. “It has been an incredible journey to promote a product that totally transforms excavators and how they work” said Gerry Mallory, general manager Rototilt Inc. Although the tiltrotator concept is still relatively new to many in North America, contractors in the Nordic countries now consider it standard equipment. “When we started to gradually introduce Rototilt in North America in the late 90s many people thought this was a product only for special applications or light duty work. We worked hard to convince contractors of the tremendous time and labor savings alone with a Rototilt equipment machine and why it was standard equipment in Northern Europe, but it wasn’t easy. Let’s just say it takes time to change people minds and how they work,” said Mallory. Daughter Company in North America The interest and sales gradually emerged and in 2007, Rototilt established its own North American daughter company to service and support the Canadian and U.S. markets. “One of the more unique challenges was to get our customers to tell others or share about how the tiltrotator changed their way of working and made their operations so much more efficient. It was such a big advantage against their competitors, that they were very hesitant to share. It was almost like a secret,” said Mallory.

Rototilt is celebrating a decade in North America.

The History of Rototilt and the Tiltrotator Invention The tiltrotator, which was given the name Rototilt by Rune Norgren at Noreco in Umeå, Sweden, was invented in the middle of the 1980s. His son Roger has worked with the product ever since. “It was my father Rune who decided that the product would be called Rototilt,” said Roger Norgren, who has seen the invention grow from a clever idea to a world-leading product. The name Rototilt — despite being a protected trademark — is often used as a generic term for the entire tiltrotator product category, such is its recognition. Rune saw the potential for developing this product concept into something big. The first tiltrotators were delivered to customers

in the Umeå region of northern Sweden in 1986. At the same time, Indexator in Vindeln was looking for a possible complementary product to its rotator business. The rotator business at that time was primarily for the forest machine industry, and Indexator had one eye on the construction industry for new business opportunities. At this time, the financial system was in a very tough situation, and just like many companies during this period, Noreco got into financial difficulties. In 1992, Indexator had the opportunity to acquire the Noreco assets and purchased the product rights, the Rototilt brand and several technical applications. The CEO of Rototilt today, Anders Jonsson, remembers it had some tough times.

“Naturally, it wasn't all plain sailing,” said Jonsson. “The tiltrotator was an entirely new concept and there was nothing upon which to base component designs, materials selection, functions, etc. We had to learn everything from scratch and set the parameters ourselves. It was a tough, challenging period.” The past 30 years with Rototilt have been characterized by innovation. Not just when it comes to the tiltrotator and its peripheral systems itself, but also the ideas surrounding how the tiltrotator can develop new opportunities for the construction industry, according to the company. Two years ago the company name was changed from Indexator Rototilt Systems to just Rototilt. “We see an exciting, challenging

potential in our new emerging markets like central Europe and North America where tiltrotators are still not used to the same extent as here at home, but where the market is developing step by step,” Jonsson said. Rototilt has the vision “One Rototilt on each excavator”. A number of OEM-partnerships are established with different machine manufacturers. “With Rototilt’s world leading product quality and durability, along with our established and proven product support in North America, we are well positioned for the growing demand,” said Mallory.

thyssenkrupp Highlights Latest Products at ConExpo thyssenkrupp, the global technology and industrial group, highlighted its latest products, technology and solutions at ConExpo-Con/AGG. As an established engineering, equipment, component and service provider, thyssenkrupp’s exhibits focused on its capabilities for the construction, quarry and aggregates industries. thyssenkrupp specialists were on site to discuss its broad product line, including crushing and processing equipment; conveying systems; and undercarriage systems, tracks and components. “In today’s construction and aggregates industries, we are seeing an increased demand for solutions that combine operational efficiency, reliability and cost effectiveness,” said Peter Sehl, vice president, mining, thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions (USA). “Our unique expertise, deep-rooted industry knowledge and extensive product portfolio allow us to deliver optimum technical and economic solutions that address every challenge and satisfy our customers’ requirements.” Standard Machines: Readily Available, CostEfficient Solutions From a Single Source To meet the demand for readily available machines, thyssenkrupp now offers standard versions of its machines at competitive prices with significantly reduced delivery times. thyssenkrupp’s extensive range of aggregate materials processing equipment includes crushers, screens and feeding devices. Used for primary, secondary and tertiary crushing of

granite, basalt, limestone and other hard rock, these machines can be combined into modular systems to accommodate customers’ specific applications and operational needs. Undercarriage Systems and Components: Maximizing Earthmoving Machinery Investments, Increasing Work Life Undercarriage systems and components from Berco of America, a thyssenkrupp company, ensure manufacturers and construction equipment operators get the most out of their earthmoving machinery investments. Continuous investments in new product development allows Berco to deliver better performing, longer life solutions for both manufacturing customers and those looking for a unique aftermarket option. One such investment is the Robustus track system. By utilizing a rotating bushing design to reduce friction and wear, Robustus tracks have an increased working life of 6,000 hours, as compared to most standard track systems, which can only withstand 3,000 hours of duty, according to the manufacturer. The recently upgraded seals for the Berco Pin Retention 2 (BPR2) system maximizes track life and reduces maintenance costs by preventing end-play generation and increasing the sealability of the joint. The BPR2 system is recommended for heavy duty applications such as large construction and demolitions, as well as conditions that generate large loads and impacts.

Lokotrack® ST2.8™ exceeds expectations in making a clean cement additive That’s how we make the big difference, the Metso Way.

A Lokotrack ST2.8 mobile scalping screen is helping a cement plant produce a clean additive for its production process, resulting in significant cost savings. The operator is saving up to $20 a ton by producing the additive using the ST2.8, rather than buying it from an outside source. The Lokotrack ST2.8 has a larger throw than most machines in its size class, which allows it to produce a cleaner end product. The unit’s powerful Caterpillar C4.4 diesel engine meets the latest emissions standards, and a new hydraulic system helps to reduce fuel consumption.

Vermeer HG6800TX Features Infeed Design for Large Debris Vermeer’s HG6800TX horizontal grinder Features 950 hp (708 kW) in a 92,000 lb. (41,730.5 kg) class, and an infeed design to aid in feeding larger material such as whole trees. The new grinder is built to power through tough materials with less operator interaction. Precise Design “The HG6800TX is designed for large-scale land-clearing contractors to help maximize productivity and efficiency,” said Jeff Bradley, product manager of recycling and forestry equipment at Vermeer. “The feed roller on this machine can climb up to 50 inches to help tackle the tough material elements that land-clearing contractors often come across.” The new infeed on the HG6800TX was designed with low sidewalls to help the operator more easily load material into the machine. This feature allows larger loads to be dropped on the infeed with less interaction and manipulation of the material, so the operator can drop the load and focus on the next one. Exclusive Technology Equipped with the latest technology from Vermeer, the HG6800TX features the Series III duplex hard-faced drum. In addition to providing long-lasting durability, maintenance time is decreased with the ability to remove and flip or replace single hammers, as well as being able to externally balance the drum The remote control puts the machine control menu and machine operating information at the user’s fingertips so operators can monitor machine health from the loader cab.

With the optional damage defense system, contractors who deal with contaminated wood can help protect their equipment by reducing the likelihood of major machine damage caused by certain metal contaminants entering the hammermill. The system reacts to the initial contact of metal by reversing the feed system to allow for removal. The HG6800TX also features technologies like SmartFeed and the Thrown Object Deflector (TOD). SmartFeed optimizes machine performance and production electronically and allows the operator to focus on loading raw product and move finished product about the job site.

The function stops and reverses material from feeding into the hammermill when engine rpm’s drop below efficient operating range. The TOD decreases the quantity and distance of thrown objects, allowing the machine to be operated in a smaller “safe” work zone. The feature is hinged and can be raised or lowered depending upon grinding applications, simply with the remote control. For more information, visit www.vermeer.com.

Metso MX Crusher Cuts Operational Costs, Increases Uptime The key benefit of the Metso multi-action technology is the easy under-load setting adjustment and wear compensation without having to stop the process

The Metso MX cone crusher is based on the multi-action crushing technology, which combines the piston and rotating bowl into a single crusher. The new crusher provides a giant leap in profitability by cutting operational costs 10 percent and enabling 10 percent higher uptime compared to traditional cone crushers, according to the manufacturer. “Aggregate producers are facing increasing pressure on efficiency and cost management. In order to meet these demands, we rethought the crushing basics and combined our long experience in different cone crusher technologies with our extensive engineering knowledge. Two individual crushing methods based on the piston and rotating bowl were conjoined, and as a result, we created the MX cone with multi-action technology,” said Jouni Mahonen, VP, global sales & product support at Metso. Designed for the most demanding rock conditions and with a special focus on automated adjustment features, the Metso MX enables cost-effective and safe operations. It also provides a very high reduction ratio with a premium end-product shape and consistency critical in aggregate applications. Its robust design makes the Metso MX suitable for demanding mining applications, according to the manufacturer.

Multi-Action Technology The key benefit of the Metso multi-action technology is the easy under-load setting adjustment and wear compensation without having to stop the process. This can be now combined with extended wear life and better mechanical protection. Optimal cavity design, stroke direction and effectively distributed crushing action lead to the ultimate rock-onrock crushing motion. This combined with the multi-action technology results in extended maintenance intervals and higher production. The Metso MX also provides maximized tramp release distance with high protection against uncrushable objects and overloading. The crusher can utilize up to 70 percent of the mass of new wear parts. Due to the intelligent design of the crusher, the quality characteristics of all sized end-product fractions stay consistent throughout the lifetime of the wear parts. “After 10,000 hours of rigorous testing, we are proud to say the Metso MX meets our targets for increased profitability by allowing 24/7 crushing with minimum downtime,” Mahonen said.

Desserts for Dreams Charity Event The 14th Annual charity event held at the Eugene Hilton on Friday, Feb. 24, 2017, brought in more $5,000 with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to the SafeHaven Humane Society. OLC First Lady Marla Wimer, was pleased with the turnout and the interest in this worthwhile charity. The Desserts for Dreams is one event held each year in conjunction with the OLC. Delicious desserts and other luncheon fare are donated by local restaurants and bakeries. General Trailer, Springfield, Ore., had a big draw to see the restored 1968 Cat D8H dozer loaded on one of their heavy-duty trailers. The D8H is owned by Rick Franklin Corp., Lebanon, Ore., and has a 270 hp D342 engine and weighs nearly 80,000 lbs.

Guess the Board Feet of Loaded Log Truck Winner There was a tie among four people for the closest guess of board feet in the load of logs at the OLC, and Brittany Kreutzer from Langlois, Ore., was drawn as the winner. She and three others guessed 6,500 board ft. net, which was closest to the actual board ft. of 6,490. Kreutzer comes from a family of loggers and truckers and is currently involved in the trucking industry. A total of 774 guesses were submitted during the OLC. The Gross scale of the load was 7,980 board ft. and the logs on the load consisted of 2M, 3P and 2P log grades

with deductions for knots, pitch ring and large spangle. The highest guess received was 3 million board ft. and the lowest guess was 45 board ft. 8th Annual Log Loader Competition The winners of this year’s log loader competition are the same as last year, but in a slightly different order. The competition included 25 operators trying to complete the challenge. This year’s winners are: • First Place — 3:14.75: Bryan Chipps, Green Diamond Resource Company, Korbel, Calif. • Second Place — 3:20.25: Ross Cribbs, Van Well Timber Co., Dallas, Ore. • Third Place — 3:23.31: Zane Bryant, Bryant Logging Co., Beaver Creek, Ore. All of these activities and more will be part of the 2018 Oregon Logging Conference, Feb. 22 to 24, 2018. Mark your calendar now, as OLC will celebrate the 80th Annual gathering. New and exciting plans are in the works. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

Ritchie Bros. Has ‘Good Data’ Works Well for IronPlanet’s Texas-Sized Results Latest Ventures in Digital Marketplace at Fort Worth Sale

Ritchie Bros photo

Ritchie Bros. sold equipment for a site record: more than 690 sellers, including more than 100 hydraulic excavators; more than 600 vocational trucks; more than 670 trailers; and a large selection of oil and gas equipment.

Good data is as good as gold for any online business to be successful. Matt Ackley of IronPlanet knows this and has made it his mission to ensure his company and its customers — bidders — know exactly what they’re seeing and bidding on, as well as IronPlanet knowing exactly how equipment is selling. Prior to joining IronPlanet as the company’s chief marketing officer, Ackley owned a similar business and sold it to eBay. Subsequently, he went to work for eBay, and then Google. For the past eight months, he’s brought his Web prowess and considerable marketing talents to IronPlanet. Specifically, Ackley is working hard to apply technology and online digital marketing to drive global buying action by helping to create new cutting-edge buying and selling platforms for IronPlanet. “The fascinating thing in the heavy equipment market is that we are on the precipice of online bidding becoming more and more of a component,” Ackley said. That was evident during the recently-concluded Florida Auctions in Kissimmee where bidders and industry veterans noticed that items selling online (but not on site) experienced no price drop-off — something IronPlanet is able to boast about because it shows the true power of online bidding. Under Ackley’s leadership, IronPlanet has been ratcheting up its “online play,” and in particular, how to get people to the site online.

Using Facebook One of biggest surprises has been with Facebook’s ability draw bidders to sales. “We’ve started strong in Texas with a to “Facebook is a channel in which we can market this type of equipment, and it has actually proven to be an amazing great Houston auction in February channel for IronPlanet,” Ackley said. “Understanding and now a record-breaker here in Facebook’s algorithm and realizing that much of it involves creativity is the key. You need to ask yourself, ‘Are you Fort Worth.” changing the creative enough and most important, do you Dolan Aucoin have interesting creative?’ We work in an industry with the best creative around, so when you are constantly putting up Ritchie Bros. images of big iron, that is interesting to people and it naturally works well with Facebook — and Facebook loves serving everyone ads. So, it’s cost-effective and less expensive As the dust settled after two action-packed days at Ritchie because of the creative aspect that we utilize to drive traffic Bros.’ Fort Worth auction site (March 15 to 16), the sales fig- to our website.” ures and turnout revealed the company’s largest-ever Texas Data Analytics Equals auction.

Approximately 45 percent (more than $33 million) of the cally to its customers, and IronPlanet is following suit equipment in the auction was sold to online bidders.

As a result, we set a new IronPlanet uses deep learning, also called machine learnTexas record for gross auction proceeds, and were up 32 per- ing, to predict outcomes of auctions and can run simulations cent over the same auction last year. I’d like to offer a huge that use prediction models, which look at each piece of see RITCHIE page 60 equipment and its own particular data, along with competitor

data to determine and understand what a fair price for a given piece of equipment should be. “After understanding the pricing, the simulation will then flag each item if the demand is not where it should be,” said Ackley. IronPlanet tracks demand in real time to help predict how bidding for a given item should unfold. If the result does not match the price prediction, IronPlanet then knows that the given machine needs more attention due to its predictive analytics. The company also uses data that’s been collected prior to the sale from advertising efforts to also determine how a given machine will do when at auction. IronPlanet Unveils New Platform IronPlanet recently debuted its new Marketplace Direct platform that offers advanced, self-listing functionality for larger-scale equipment sellers. Unique to the industry, Marketplace Direct provides an innovative listing and reporting solution that enables sellers to better manage their assets and directly control their listing management process. With Marketplace Direct, sellers have an enhanced cloudbased platform to increase sell-thru of inventory, improve price performance and reach the most buyers through the channels of their choice. “On the heels of relaunching allEquip with Buy Now and Make Offer functionality, and the launch of Truck Locator, which meets the needs of multi-unit and fleet truck buyers, IronPlanet is proud to announce another industry innovation that provides customers with unique, value-added services and a cutting-edge, technology-driven platform designed to improve return on investment,” said Ackley. “Marketplace Direct enables sellers to market equipment to their current client base in a private setting or publicly to IronPlanet’s 1.7 million registered users worldwide. Through the process, we provide sellers with more control and choice over timing, price, and formats than they would receive in a typical live auctions-only setting.” To learn more about this new platform, visit http://www.constructionequipmentguide.com/ironplanetunveils-marketplace-direct/32850 Improving the Auction Experience Through Data Yet another example is IronPlanet’s use of QR codes, which the company includes in its auction catalogues, to assist bidders with finding virtually all there is to know about a given equipment item, including ownership history, work performed on the machine, preventive maintenance history and more. The Sky (or the Cloud) Is the Limit IronPlanet’s intense focus on data-driven business solutions and using this invaluable information to improve the customer experience for both buyers and sellers should prove fruitful for the predominantly online marketplace. And quite literally, under Matt Ackley’s leadership, as well as the efforts of the entire IronPlanet team, the company appears poised to lead the technological charge in the heavy equipment industry.

CUSHING, Okla. (AP) Officials have decided to demolish a nearly century-old building in Cushing after its front facade collapsed, about four months after it was damaged during an earthquake. The 1920s Cushing Lion’s Den was damaged but remained standing after the 5.0 earthquake hit a few miles outside Cushing and damaged some of the city’s downtown area in November, the Stillwater News Press reported. The building’s side brick veneer began to bulge and peel away shortly after the quake, and most of it was later removed. Lions Club president Lou Griffin said the club hasn’t occupied the building since November after a structural engineer warned it wasn’t safe. Club members salvaged plaques, photos and a large statue of a lion that represent their club history. But after the building’s front facade collapsed on March Ritchie Bros. photo 14, its demolition fate was sealed. Griffin said she wasn’t surprised by the collapse because she noticed the building looked like it had shifted since the $700,000 earthquake. Griffin said she believes the earthquake, a series • a 2012 Caterpillar 623H elevating of smaller quakes and recent strong winds played a role in the collapse. motor scraper sold for $390,000 The Lions Club aims to take down the building as soon as • a 2010 Caterpillar D8T dozer sold possible to keep residents safe and prevent further damage. for $310,000 The club lacks funding but is hoping to demolish the build(This story also can be found on ing for a low price.

More than ever, owners are becoming more focused on leveraging BIM to deliver their projects. Moving beyond the request to have the project be designed and constructed with BIM, owners are creating project specifications and turnover guidelines that are BIM-centric and outline innovative BIM-enabled processes to successfully deliver their work. At the Spring BIMForum, we will hear from owners on the following topics: . How is BIM being leveraged in your current design and construction process? . How is BIM being leveraged in sharing design intent with end users? . Is BIM transforming your contractural delivery models? . What impact is BIM having on your overall project schedule and budget? . How has BIM affected the quality of construction? . How have your BIM delivery requirements evolved? . How are you leveraging LOD? . What information is most critical at turnover? . How are you leveraging BIM post occupancy to reduce your total cost of ownership? For more information on this meeting, go to HYPERLINK "http://meetings.bimforum.org/" http://meetings.bimforum.org/.
