Founder Viewed as Angel Amid Disaster

By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT

“Tad Agoglia is almost looked upon as an angel here in Parkersburg, Iowa,” said city administrator Chris Luhring. Agoglia doesn’t have wings, as it turns out, but his story does have a Christmas feel.

Two years ago, Agoglia converted his profitable disaster response and cleanup company to a nonprofit foundation. He left his home and went on the road where he spends all year donating his expertise to stricken communities and seeking support and training for his team. Several leading equipment manufacturers and construction industry companies have caught the giving spirit and are backing him with money and machinery.

“When you meet him, you’ll quickly see that his passion is unprecedented,” said Darrin Foulk, vice president of Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co., which has Caterpillar dealerships across Pennsylvania.

SSC C Tapped d forr ADOT’s Foulk speaks from experience. He met Agoglia when the latter entered a Largestt Projectt in n 2009…22 2 Cleveland Brothers branch in Lancaster to buy a piece of equipment. The company executive overheard Agoglia’s story and invited him to dinner.

By the time they folded their napkins and pushed away from the table, Agoglia had been offered a Cat skid steer under cost as well as donated cables for his generator and a full complement of spare parts for his mechanical repair truck. Not finished, Foulk rang up two other equipment manufacturers and persuaded them to help out with major pieces of equipment.

“These are the unique kinds of people I have been meeting lately,” Agoglia said, reflecting on the $800,000 in equipment received in the last two months.

For the past three years, the Indiana Toll Road has undergone major improvements.

These improvements came about as a result of the growing population in Lake and Porter

counties, necessitating the ITR Concession Company LLC (ITRCC) to widen the Indiana Toll Road.

As a result, ITRCC hired Indiana TollRoads Contractors LLC, a joint venture between Ferrovial Agroman Indiana LLC see TOLL page 50

For the third time in 20 years, Mike Myszkowski, Illinois Department of Transportation engineer, is resurfacing the Bishop Ford Freeway just outside of Chicago. In 1989, a “surface fix” was performed, putting down a 2-in. (5 cm) layer of asphalt. In 1998, the work needed to be repeated, due to wear caused by heavy traffic. Nearly 10 years later, the road once again needs repair.

The current rehabilitation project involves resurfacing all lanes and shoulders of the 9-mi. (14.5 km) stretch of freeway between Martin Luther King Drive and 159th Street, as well as pavement patching, bridge repairs, new guardrail installation and exit/entrance ramp resurfacing — including the Stony Island Feeder Ramp.

One of nearly 250 “shovel-ready” construction projects in Illinois, the $27.5 million job, funded by the Stimulus Plan — President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is a joint venture headed by Chicago area-based Gallagher Asphalt and K-Five Construction.

Annual Chicago Construction Expo Draws Nears Mark your calendars!

The fourth annual Chicago Construction Expo at the Renaissance Shaumburg Convention Center in Schaumburg, Ill., is primed and ready to go on Wednesday, Feb. 24 and Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010. Show hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Visitors have come to expect an extensive and diverse collection of exhibitors at the Chicago Construction Expo, and this year’s show will be no different.

Additionally, the expo will provide networking and educational opportunities for attendees. This year’s show will feature several seminars, training sessions and certification programs including Julie One Call, LICA and UCA as presenters.

The show is going green this year, with the introduc-

tion of the virtual totebag.

The Virtual Totebag is an eco-friendly solution designed to reduce the cost and waste of printing, shipping and distributing paper collateral. With the Virtual Totebag, attendees can request, store and share session content and exhibitor materials via their mobile devices.

Door prizes, donated by the exhibitors, will be awarded throughout the show, and show-goers are likely to run into a celebrity or two as they travel the show floor.

For more information on exhibiting, call Bob Buckley, CEG Productions sales manager, at 800/9927116.

For all other questions, call Sheila Kirby, CEG Productions trade show manager, at 800/523-2200, or visit www.cegltd.com.

Located along California’s main route to and from South Lake Tahoe, U.S. Highway 50, the city of Placerville typically is not the site of larger, highway construction projects, as the city has a population of around 10,000.

However, a $35 million highway improvement project — aimed at reducing congestion along Highway 50 and connecting Placerville’s business districts — was recently completed within the city.

A dynamic apprenticeship program will not by itself save the U.S. construction industry from a looming shortage of skilled labor, but it is “one of the pieces of the puzzle” to stabilizing the labor situation, say industry leaders.

Parts Section ................50

As of October, San Francisco-based Mitchell Engineering had finished work on the U.S. Highway 50 Operational Improvement Project, which began in June 2006, according to Mic Restaino, resident engineer for Caltrans District 3.

Spanning 1.4 mi. (2.2 km), the project consisted of bridge widening and replacement, the relocation of sewer lines, the building of a direct connection between two Placerville streets and highway widening.

Construction of the project was broken down in two stages, with five to six sub- stages of construction occurring at each location, said see CALTRANS page 20

To bring the project up to speed, MCSI used one of its four TEI drills, an HEM-300HT, mounted on a Link-Belt 130LX excavator.

By Rebecca Ragain CEG CORRESPONDENT

This fall, Mays Construction Specialties Inc. (MCSI) tackled a job that was high profile, in more ways than one.

Telluride Ski Resort in the Colorado Rockies was creating a new trail to improve access to a series of ski chutes on Gold Hill Ridge. Because progress was slow and winter weather fast approaching, the resort brought in GrandJunction-based MCSI to speed up blast hole drilling.

“They were running out of time for weather,” said MCSI Vice President Kyle Vanderberg.

“They actually started the drilling using some

hand drills…we were able to actually expedite the drilling 10-fold, compared to what they were doing.”

To bring the project up to speed, MCSI used one of its four TEI drills, an HEM-300HT, mounted on a Link-Belt 130LX excavator.

Because the drill could be detached and the bucket re-attached to the excavator, MCSI was able to use the excavator for both rock removal and drilling.

Vanderberg said, “That was a big plus: one piece of equipment playing two roles.”

The job site was located on a ridge at 13,000 ft. (396 m) elevation, where wind gusts exceeded 100 mph and October wind chill temperasee MCSI page 30

Sizable growth in new construction of single-family homes and a high level of construction of roads and bridges are positive expectations for 2010 as the industry and the nation hope for a stronger economic recovery from high unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcies and other continuing myriad problems.

Economists interviewed by Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) are anything but sanguine but they see rays of light amid the encircling gloom.

“We expect about 610,000 single-family housing starts in 2010, compared with about 443,000 starts in 2009,” said Bernard Markstein, vice president, economic analysis and forecasting of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in Washington, D.C. “We will see definite improvement in the first and third quarters and then again by year-end. I predict a slow recovery back to normalcy, which is 1.5million starts per year, over the next 10 years.”

Markstein said the homeowner tax credit for consumers “adds close to 200,000 additional sales.” This credit is $8,000 for a firsttime homebuyer and $6,500 for a repeat homebuyer. It was to have ended with Nov. 30 settlements but has been extended to June 30.

Single-family housing starts are a veryimportant leading indicator for the national economy.

“We think we saw the bottom of the curve in the first quarter of 2009, and then sales started to slowly improve,” Markstein said.

“In March, we hit 332,000 sales of singlefamily homes. In October, however, new housing starts were up 5.1 percent over 2008 and 6.2 percent over September. As the see FORECAST page 8

Record Infrastructure Spending Aided by Government FORECAST from page 1

upturn continues, it will help pull the national economy out of recession. Residential construction accounts for about 15 percent or 16 percent of gross domestic product [GDP] — about 3 percent from direct construction and the rest from housing-related services like appliances. Though the improvement in starts is relatively slow compared with previous recoveries because of obstacles like tight financing, we see the economy, including construction and employment, turning around during the second or third quarter of 2010.”

Another bright spot was that sales of existing homes in October were 23.5 percent higher than October 2008, and 10.1 percent higher than in September 2009. (Note: this is for all existing sales, single-family and condo.

Comparable singlefamily sales numbers were 21.4 percent and 9.7 percent, respectively. The median price of a single family home was $173,100 in October, down 6.8 percent than the year before.)

The National Association of Realtors reported on Dec. 22 that sales of existing homes in November were 44.1 percent higher than in November 2008, and 7.4 percent above October 2009.

Other building areas aren’t coming back as fast as the single-family area. Multi-family starts fell 54 percent in 2009 but are expected to improve 16 percent in dollars and 14 percent in units in 2010, according to the 2010 Construction Outlook from McGraw-Hill Construction in New York.

“This still leaves activity about even with the bottom of the early 1990’s recession,” the Outlook said. Construction of nonresidential buildings has been much weaker through most of 2009, though it climbed 19 percent in October to $177.9 billion (annual rate).

“For nonresidential building, much of 2009 has been characterized by a steep loss of momentum, so October’s gain represents a departure from recent experience,” the Outlook added, saying commercial building starts dropped 43 percent during 2009 and are expected to drop another 4 percent in dollar terms in 2010.

Reed Construction Data reported in early December, however, that the value of non-

residential construction starts in November was “more than a 20 percent increase after seasonal adjustment” from the October total, with nonresidential starts increasing 16 percent.

Ken Simonson, chief economist of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) in Arlington, Va., said that singlefamily housing construction spending “will be up 20 percent to 30 percent in 2010 off a very-low base [compared with 2009] while multi-family construction spending will probably be down 20 to 30 percent.”

Simonson thus saw a mixed picture for the residential construction industry at pres-

Construction spending is down 13 percent through the first 10 months of 2009. Given the leading relation of starts to spending, it suggests that spending will continue to weaken into 2010. At the same time, we’re also looking at an 11 percent improvement in starts, to $466.2 billion in 2010.”

Murray added: “Single-family housing has reached bottom and has begun to edge upward. Highway and bridge work has improved in 2009 and this should continue in 2010, supported by the Federal Stimulus Act. Environmental public works has yet to see much improvement in 2009, but, supported by the stimulus act, should strengthen

ent, rather than a full-fledged recovery.

“Family homebuilding, helped selectively by stimulus legislation, is on the cusp of a strong comeback in percentage terms,” he said, “but this will not be enough to offset the continuing drop in multi-family and private non-residential work. I think we are in for a gradual improvement in economic conditions overall in 2010 bit by bit, but it will be very uneven and I think construction will be far behind. I think we will see more construction of universities and hospitals during the second half of 2010, but most segments will not improve until 2011. The construction industry isn’t in recovery yet.”

Robert A. Murray, vice president of economics of McGraw-Hill Construction, said in a telephone interview with CEG: “To say construction is in recovery is premature. It depends on whether you’re looking at construction spending vs. starts, on the type of projects and on the timeframe, such as year over year, or month over month. Our forecast calls for a 25 percent decline in the dollar value of construction starts in 2009.

in 2010. Courthouse projects have picked up, thanks to the stimulus, and the benefits to a broader range of institutional types, including health care projects, should continue. We see modest support for multi-family housing as the result of funding from Housing and Urban Development. In contrast, commercial building is looking at a difficult year in 2010 following a steep decline in 2009.

Bank lending standards remain very tight.

Even if bank lending shows some improvement in 2010, weak employment means that the market fundamentals for commercial building will continue to deteriorate, with rising vacancies.”

Stimulus Act Aids Highway Construction Record infrastructure spending on highways and bridges will provide more work in 2010.

The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) included $27.5 billion for this sector, which currently accounts for about 12 percent of the con-

struction market. This is in addition to an estimated $41.2 billion in Fiscal 2010 appropriations for the highway program.

(As CEG went to press, the House of Representatives in late December passed another jobs creation stimulus bill, which includes an additional $27.5 billion for highways and bridges.)

“This is a record level of federal investment through the federal aid program and the extra stimulus funds,” said Alison Premo Black, vice president of policy and economist of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) in Washington, D.C. “We expect that the value of highway, street and bridge construction put in place during 2010 will reach 90.5 billion.

The real value of construction put in place has also increased in 2009, to $83 billion or maybe a little higher, due to a combined easing of material prices and the extra spending from the stimulus program. The highway construction market should grow eight percent next year, aided by extra money from federal investment and by easing of material prices.”

Black is worried, however, about a possible contraction of the market in 2011.

“The stimulus was a one-time injection,” she told CEG. “It helped this year and certainly will help the market next year, but because it’s not a sustained increase in funding you will have some market contraction, which could be a status quo year [in 2011].

Our model is forecasting a contraction in 2011 absent increased funding from either federal, state or local governments, as the stimulus spending works its way through the market. Our model indicates that a robust federal investment would create a ‘soft landing,’ or even some growth, in 2011.”

“The stimulus kept 2009 from being a disaster,” said Ken Simonson, the AGC economist. “State DOTs were busy reducing their planned lettings, but once the President signed the stimulus bill, they were able to restore a lot of projects. We estimate the recovery act included $135 billion for construction, of which $27.5 billion was for highways. The highway money was awarded quite promptly.

AED President Assesses Economic Outlook for Dealers AED: Working to Create a Better 2010

FORECAST from page 8

awarded or spent, so I think in 2010 you will see more and more stimulus money showing up in other areas.”

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in Washington, D.C., reported that, as of Nov. 20, 2009, a total of 10,600 transportation projects worth more than $30 billion have been approved for funding under ARRA. “Of the 9,300 highway construction projects authorized to date, more than half — 5,458 projects — were either under construction or had already been completed,” AASHTO said, also reporting 355 airport projects worth $1.08 billion and 690 transit grants worth $7.19 billion have been approved. It also told Congress that state transportation departments have identified 9,500 highway, bridge, port, rail and aviation projects worth more than $69 billion that, if funded, “can be used to create hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country.” It said most of these projects were “ready to go,” meaning they can move through the federal approval process within 120 days of authorizing legislation. The report was based on responses from 50 states and the District of Columbia.

ARTBA’s Black reported in a Dec. 7 release that “another indicator of work to come is the high level of obligations for ARRA funding — over 77 percent of stimulus funds have been obligated, but only $4 billion, or 16 percent of the total funding available, has been paid to contractors.”

“When you add it all up, there is a lot of work to be completed in the coming

year,” she said.

Reauthorizing the Highway Bill The SAFETEA-LU transportation bill, enacted in 2005, provided more than $286 billion for highways, bridge and transit. It expired Sept. 30, 2009.

Since then, continuing resolutions in Congress, and the new ARRA money, have funded continued work.

President Obama has suggested an 18-month extension of SAFETEA-LU. “It’s a very-fluid situation with differences between the House, Senate and the Obama resolution,” said ARTBA’s Black.

Black said that “industry does not like short-term extensions because money is given out in dribs and drabs; states might hold out on spending that money until they are more confident on what that spending stream will be for the year.

“At ARTBA we will advocate a sixyear bill,” Black added. “A longer period helps contractors plan their capital spending on project equipment because they know they will have a certain stream of revenue from the federal aid program, which is about 34 percent of the [highway and bridge] market and really helps create stability in this market. You don’t see this stability in other construction sectors. The stimulus is not a substitute for a sustained, increased, federal investment in highways and bridges. Federal investment is approximately 40 to 45 percent of total capital outlays for highways and bridges in the United States.”

William R. Buechner, ARTBA’s vice president of economics and research,

said that, without a long-term surface transportation investment bill, “conditions are again lined up to kill job growth in the construction sector and related industries” Warning that without such a bill, “we’re looking at a constricting or flat market for the next several years,” he said surveys found that 15 states cut transportation program funding in 2009 and 19 states were planning to cut such funding in 2010.

“I think Congress will keep passing short-term extensions at current levels, and then some one-shot funding, as they did in the stimulus bill,” said AGC’s Simonson.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has proposed a $500-billion six-year bill, called the Surface Transportation Authorization Act of 2009.

Christian Klein, vice president, government affairs, and Washington Counsel for the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) Washington, D.C., office, commented to CEG: “The most important thing we’re working on is the highway bill because the uncertainty surrounding the highway reauthorization has caused chaos in the equipment market. Contractors are sitting on their hands. They’re not buying equipment because they have no idea how much money is coming down the pike. They don’t know if highway funding is going to increase, decrease or stay the same. A robust multi-year highway bill is the single most important thing Congress can do to introduce stability in construction.”

Klein also asserted: “Stimulus money has helped and has saved jobs,

In the following interview with Construction Equipment Guide (CEG), Toby Mack, president and chief executive officer of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) in Oak Brook, Ill., assessed the economic challenges facing dealers.

Could you assess the current status of the equipment distributor business?

There’s not much good news. Our industry remains at or near the bottom of the [business] cycle. If you talk to most equipment dealers you’ll find that they are not sure if they have even hit bottom yet. There still could be some further weakness in the first or second quarter of 2010 beyond where we are right now. That’s not very encouraging.

What are the positives in the current market?

One of the most hopeful things, which also will be very difficult to materialize, is government accelerating their passage of a multi-year highway bill, which is the thing, which a lot of contractors are going to need to see before they are going to be willing to invest in a long-term asset.

They will do that when they see a long-term utilization prospect. A multi-year highway bill will do that for many categories of equipment. A dependable, consistent, multi-year bill is the biggest hope out there for a piece of equipment, which has a utilization prospect of three, five, or more years.

If that passed, would business pick up for dealers?

Sure. That’s one of the things historically that has driven a lot of activity at the dealer level, not just new machine deliveries but support, rentals, parts. It’s all very much underpinned by highway and other kinds of infrastructure projects. So that’s the one thing that could turn things around.

Having just returned from Washington, I would say it’s going to be a struggle to get that done much before the middle of next year and possibly later, so we’re not going to see any effects that might have come into play until later in 2010, if that.

Slow Improvement in Unemployment Situation Predicted [HTF] to support the level of investment needed to maintain or improve the existing transportation network,” ARTBA’s Black told CEG. “There is a cumulative $90.4 billion dollar gap for Fiscal Year 2010 through 2015 between the current baseline of funding under the existing law and what the HTF can support absent new revenues.”

but it has often gone out to small projects like repaving, not on big capital projects that will be a long-term infrastructure approach.

It’s a short burst, not a long-term recovery plan. The better way to do it is to have a multi-year investment plan over the next six year, providing in the area of 100 percent more than we’ve spent over the last six years. What part of job creation don’t they [Congress] understand?”

Dealers Voice Serious Concerns Toby Mack, president and chief executive officer of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) in Oak Brook, Ill., said in a telephone interview with CEG the construction industry “remains at or near the bottom of the [business] cycle,” with much uncertainty among equipment dealers.

AED’s Klein told CEG: “AED and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers [AEM] have concluded in a report on the economic health of our industry that, since 2006, equipment manufacturers and distributors have collectively laid off 37 percent of their workforce.”

Klein said the loss includes 257,000 direct jobs in the equipment industry plus another

274,000 indirect jobs like people servicing beverage machines at distributor and manufacturer locations.

“We conclude that two out of every 25 jobs lost since the recession began in 2006 can be linked the downturn in our industry,” he said, adding: “Another big thing is tight credit. The entire supply chain is affected.

Developers can’t get credit to build projects.

Contractors can’t get credit to buy equipment. Distributors can’t get credit to run their companies. Manufacturers can’t get credit to run their businesses. The credit chaos is 21582 HWY 62, BELLEVUE, (DUBUQUE) IOWA

“It is clear that there is not enough revenue going into the Highway Trust Fund AED from page 10

How many jobs have been lost in the equipment distributor field?

About 550,000 (Editors Note: This figure includes indirect jobs, like food and beverage workers depending on dealer business.) That was as of September. We think there has been substantial additional job loss since then. We wouldn’t be surprised to see some additional job loss between now and the end of the first half. So it’s just not a pretty picture.

Are there any bright spots?

Dealers who either by geography or customer base are serving metal extraction or energy production markets. Coal mining has been a little bit better. Gold has been strong, of course. Anything related to oil fields has been good. Some dealers also have some presence in agriculture, and that has certainly been healthier than construction. If you are a dealer in the mining or agriculture area, you are probably doing better than the guys who depend on construction.

How many dealers have gone out of business?

I don’t have any metric for you on that, but we have seen quite a bit of

Easing Unemployment The increased single-family housing and highway work are seen as hopeful signs for easing high unemployment in construction.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Dec. 4 that the unemployment rate in construction rose to 19.4 percent in November, the highest of any industry, with the loss of 27,700 construction jobs.

Nationally, the rate for all industries fell from 10.2 percent to 10 percent.

it, not just closing up, but being acquired by neighboring dealers.

There have also been some flat-out business failures. It’s just gut-wrenching to see it because a lot of these companies which have been in business for a couple of generations — 30, 40, 50, 60 years in some cases — are just not going to be able to make it. We’re doing everything we can as an association to buoy the market and help companies struggle through and continue to hang on by their fingernails. It’s tough. You talk to any one of them and you’ll get the same story. There’s just nothing going on out there That includes both used and new equipment?

Used is in rough shape, too, because as companies have tried to scale down, they’ve had to shed rental fleets and inventory. That has put a lot of iron out on the used equipment market. Then, of course, when you have no end demand and a lot of supply, will have a downward effect on prices. With very few customers for rental fleets, there’s not a lot of rental demand and so rental utilization and rental rates are down.

Then you have the product support business. Few, or none, of the machines out there are running, you see AED page 34

Automation Right On Track at Raceway in Arizona

By Daniel C. Brown SPECIAL TO CEG

A non-contacting asphalt paving system helped an Arizona contractor to achieve exceptional pavement smoothness and a 70 percent increase in production on a race track near Phoenix.

Last fall, Ace Asphalt of Arizona Inc. used hot mix asphalt to pave the two straightaways of a nearly 6-mi. (9.7 km) oval that measures 39 ft. (11.9 m) wide with banked curves at the ends.

The smoothness spec was exceptionally stringent, but Ace rose to the challenge, said Josh Phillips, project manager. The project called for the pavement smoothness at 4 in.

(10 cm) of total deviation per mi. from a onequarter inch null (blanking) band on a highspeed profilograph. A typical Arizona transportation department spec is 6 in. (15 cm) per mi. Ace’s average for this project: One point one (1.1) in. (2.8 cm) per mile.

“If we could have gotten within 2 inches per mile, the customer would have been happy,” said Phillips. “Previous to our resurfacing, the existing pavement measured 2.5 inches per mile in the wheel paths, and 8 to 10 inches per mile at the joints. So we smoothed it out significantly.”

Phillips gave a great deal of credit for the smoothness to a Topcon System 5 Sonic Averaging System. Using that system, Ace ran two 30-ft. (9 m) long non-contact skis, one on each side of the Ingersoll Rand paver.

A non-contacting ski, at left, helped control mat smoothness.

Four trackers are suspended from each ski.

The trackers have transducers that “read” the surface beside the paver, use it as a grade reference, and send messages to a System 5 controller on each side of the paver.

The controller “does the math,” by averaging the readings from the four trackers.

That way the length of the ski averages out the highs and the lows in the reference grade or pavement. In turn, the controllers send messages to the hydraulic valve that controls the paver’s tow-point cylinders, which automatically raise or lower the screed. The skis “take out the highs and lows” of the reference grade and produce a more consistent basis for pavement depth, according to the manufacturer.

A transducer uses sonar waves to “read” the surface.

Boost in Production Automating the pavement depth control not only produced a smooth pavement, it helped Ace boost production.

“Without it we could only pave at 175 tons per hour,” said Phillips. “With the automated control we paved at 300 tons per hour, or about 45 to 50 feet per minute. You’re able to set and maintain a certain speed.

Once we set up that System 5, we didn’t stop the paver until we reached the other end. The system removes human error from the equation.”

Ace placed the new pavement in two lifts of 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) thickness for each lift. For the first lift the contractor laid an 11-ft. (3.3 m)-wide pass and two passes at 14 ft. (4.3 m)

The System 5 control box reads out mat thickness or slope.

wide. In the next lift up, Ace staggered the longitudinal joints by paving three 13-ft. (4 m) wide passes. That helped smoothness, because the System 5 trackers never read a joint below to pave the second lift.

“When we started, the System 5 read grade off the paved shoulder on the outside and off the milled surface on the inside,” said Phillips. “Then after the first pass we could read off the newly-paved edge and the milled surface.

“We liked running the skis on both sides,” he said. “When you’re paving a 1.5-inch course of asphalt it’s very difficult to eliminate any irregularities by just running one sensor off the end of the screed. By doing that you just follow the joint where you’re at.

But by using a 30-foot non-contact ski on both sides, you average out your readings on both sides. Every time you make a pass it gets better and better.”

Sonic Feeder Sensors Ace also ran Topcon sonic feeder sensors on both sides of the paver. Located at the ends of the screed, the sensors measure the distance from the sensor to the head of material in front of the screed. The goal is to keep a constant head of material in front of the screed. So in fact the sensors automate that process by controlling the speed of the augers feeding asphalt.

“So no matter how fast you pave, you always get the same amount of material at your screed,” said Phillips. “We ran the feeder control sensor at first on one side, not the other, and it made such a big difference that we put it on both sides.

“The feeder sensor eliminates what we call ‘chatter’ in the mat,” said Phillips. “It’s a ripple effect behind the screed. With the feeder sensor you don’t get any of that.”

He said the System 5 for screed control prevents the paving crew from making too many manual adjustments in the screed.

“We are very happy with the System 5,” said Phillips. “And we’re very pleased with the service from our Topcon dealer. They were definitely a big help in getting us set up with the system.”

Asphalt Drum Mixers Builds Its 1,000th Asphalt Plant for Huntertown, Ind.

ADM’s 1,000th plant sits outside the Huntertown, Ind., factory.

Mike Devine (L), president of ADM, stands with Wayne Boyd, CEO.

After 35 years of business, Asphalt Drum Mixers Inc. (ADM) received an order to build its 1,000th asphalt plant.

ADM’s Huntertown, Ind., factory built the plant, and to celebrate this milestone, the company held an open house at its facility on Oct. 21, 2009.

When the company started in 1974, it employed 11 people in a 10,000-sq.-ft. factory. Since then, the operation has expanded to 60 employees and moved to its third production facility, which now covers 60,000 sq. ft.

“Today, our asphalt plants incorporate the latest parallelflow and counter-flow technologies,” said Mike Devine, president of ADM. “Innovations such as these, and our ability to meet new industry challenges, have kept us going strong over the first 1,000 plants…and will continue to drive us for the next 1,000.”

The 1,000th plant is an SPL series, which represents one of ADM’s three asphalt plant designs. The SPL is capable of producing between 60 and 160 tons (54 and 145 t) per hour, depending on the configuration. Also available are the Roadbuilder, which produces between 110 and 350 tph (100 and 317 t), and the Milemaker, which produces between 160 and 425 tph (145 and 385 t).

ADM also manufactures a line of components for use with its line of asphalt plants as well as similar competitive models.

A family-owned company since 1974, Asphalt Drum Mixers Inc. offers asphalt plants, auxiliary equipment, parts and service.

Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS Making Impact With Asphalt Pavers BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads have been making an impact on asphalt milling machine users, but the trend is now catching on with asphalt paving machine users. These bolt-on pads can save up to 40 percent on replacement orders by reusing the steel triple grousers and up to 50 percent in labor time when replacing the pads compared to a standard bonded track pad, according to the manufacturer.

David Dunn of Caldwell Paving, in Charleston, Tenn., purchased BLS Poly BoltOn TUFPADS track pads for his Leeboy 8816 asphalt paver in early July 2008.

Since then, Dunn told BLS that the machine has been running every day and has been working great.

“With the rubber pads,” Dunn said, “the track would often spin, leading to quicker wear.”

“It would have been so much nicer if the machine came set up with PBO grousers so

we didn’t have to buy them the first time we changed pads,” Dunn said, referring to the fact that with the BLS Poly Bolt-On system, users do not have to replace the steel triple grouser when replacing the track pad. This can save contractors 30 to 40 percent in

“With the rubber pads, the track would often spin, leading to quicker wear.”

Hannah Groom presents $100 that her class at Linder Elementary raised for Dump Hunger.

Demand at area food banks has increased an estimated 30 percent from this time last year. With the increase in regionwide unemployment, more and more families are struggling to put food on the table.

“Hunger doesn’t stop after the holidays,” said Western States President Tom Harris. “Western States is committed to giving back to the communities in which we live and serve.

We are launching the ‘Dump Hunger’ campaign as a way to rally our employees and customers together to re-stock the warehouses of our area food banks.”

On Dec. 29, Western States Equipment launched ‘Dump Hunger,’ a six-week food drive that partners 13 Western States branch locations with local food banks within their community. The post-holiday timing of Dump Hunger is critical for food banks as January and February marks the lowest levels of food donation.

Terry Graves, food resources manager of Idaho Foodbank, said that they are facing an unprecedented need.

They foresee a 30 percent increase in need over and above the 27 percent increase from last year.

“Food pantries also serve families and individuals that are working and don’t earn enough to meet all of their basic see HUNGER page 26

Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a tough time getting his equipment working again to help in the clean-up. But he never expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner, it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

needs,� said Graves. “Most people use a food pantry for about six months to help them through a rough financial period, they are not permanent recipients.�

Due to the increased need, Western States has set a goal of gathering 150,000 lbs. of food, an increase over 116,000 from last year. “We understand that food pantries are empty in January,� said Harris. “In addition to increasing our goal for gathering more food, Western States will contribute $1 for every 5 pounds of food collected, up to a $17,000 dollar match.� “We are excited to partner with Western States again this

year for Dump Hunger,� said Graves. “Based on the success from last year, we were able to feed hundreds of families. We look forward to seeing how Western States and the community Dump Hunger again this year.�

Dump Hunger seeks to secure enough food to fill the bed of two Cat 730 dump trucks, the industry’s largest payload vehicle in its class, each truck capable of holding 75,000 lbs. of food. Donations to the campaign can be brought to any of the Western States branch locations.

The job site was located on a ridge at 13,000 ft. (396 m) elevation, where wind gusts exceeded 100 mph and October wind chill temperatures dropped below 10F. MCSI from page 1

tures dropped below 10F. “Watching the weather was very critical,” said Vanderberg. “If there was a very large storm toward the tail end, there was the possibility we wouldn’t be able to get the equipment back until spring.”

The combination of weather conditions and location made personnel safety an even higher priority than usual. In the end, Vanderberg said it turned out to be “a nice

safe project for all involved.”

An unexpected benefit of the project was that the dramatic photos of MCSI’s drill atop the ridge, with a backdrop of mountain ranges, have been passed along within the industry, resulting in increased exposure for MCSI as a company, said Vanderberg.

Cost of Some Construction Materials Edging Upwards FORECAST from page 12 AED from page 12

possible by the end of 2010 but more substantial gains in construction industry employment will probably have to wait until 2011.”

Materials Costs The costs of many construction materials are edging upwards. The BLS said the producer price index (PPI) for finished goods “spurted 1.8 percent in November,” including a 7 percent jump in crude petroleum prices.

“Even aside from the oilprice leap, construction materials costs appear to have ended their slide, as shown by recent three-month trends,” the BLS added.

AGC’s Ken Simonson told CEG: “I think materials costs have probably bottomed out and at best will hold level in 2010, but there’s a risk that they will jump again. Steel has the greatest chance of showing a price increase.”

will have less product support business. It just is not a very good picture.

How about a turnaround?

We can’t point to a turnaround dynamic in play right now. If the housing market picks up, it would be a good thing. The House has just passed another stimulus bill, which they’re calling the Jobs Creation Bill. It has another $27.5 billion of highway and bridge money in it. We also have the stimulus bill, which was signed into law early in 2009. So the House has passed it, but it has some difficult prospects in the Senate, which will not be able to take it up until sometime next year, hopefully early. There’s a lot of pushback on it because it relies on remaining TARP money that’s coming from the paybacks and the unspent balances. There’s a pretty strong headwind against that in the Senate. We don’t know if the new bill has too much of a prospect or not. We’re doing everything

we can as an organization [to make it happen], along with the Association of Equipment Manufacturers [AEM]. We, and AEM leaders, went from Senate office to Senate office, and House office to House office, trying to beat the drums for the message that we’re taking to Washington, that this is a job loss catastrophe for the country — 550,000 jobs lost as of last September and, Lord knows, there could be 100,000 or 200,000 more since then by the middle of next year. There’s no way you will get a solid recovery in the overall economy with those kinds of numbers just from our industry.

So how do you view 2010 for equipment dealers?

There’s some talk of maybe the possibility of 10 percent uptick in 2010, most of which will be in the second half, but you’re going up 10 percent from a market which was down 40 percent in 2009. The uptick would be based on

residential construction and maybe some more of the 2009 stimulus money getting spent. Quite a bit of it hasn’t been obligated yet. That could possibly drive some more activity. And then if the Senate goes along with the House on Stimulus 2 that would essentially double what was put into the market by the first stimulus bill.

What sectors of equipment have been hardest-hit?

Earthmoving equipment is probably the worst. You talk to dealers and you typically hear new machine delivery rates down 50, 60 or 70 percent.

We very much appreciate your time.

It wasn’t very good news, was it? It’s real. It’s what’s out there. There’s no point in sugar coating it.

Caltrans Completes Eyebar Replacement on East Span Caltrans crews have completed both the replacement of the damaged portion of the eyebar on the East Span of the Bay Bridge, and the removal of the temporary fix installed in October.

Caltrans began its long-term repair of the

failed eyebar on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Dec. 11. The damaged eyebar was discovered during the Labor Day weekend bridge closure.

Work on the eyebar did not require a full bridge closure; instead, crews worked overnight, which required three lanes to close on the upper deck and one lane on the lower deck. The repair and related lane closures lasted approximately three weeks “This is the right fix and a long-term one that should keep the 73-year old bridge safer until it is replaced,” said Caltrans Director Randell Iwasaki.

The design of the long-term repair was done by Caltrans, with input and assistance from independent experts and the contractor, American Bridge-Fluor (A Joint Venture), which is the primary contractor building the self-anchored suspension span on the new Bay Bridge and has a significant amount of experience in steel bridge erection and repair, including the repair of eyebars.

The repair entailed cutting and removing approximately 12 ft. (3.6 m) of the cracked eyebar, and replacing the removed section with new structural steel that was spliced onto the remainder of the existing eyebar.

Expert input was provided by Frieder

Seible, dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California at San Diego, member of the Toll Bridge Program’s Seismic Safety Peer Review Panel and former adjunct professor of Engineering at Columbia University; Ahmad Itani, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nevada at Reno; and Federal Highway Administration Chief Bridge Engineer Myint Lwin.

ARRAFunding Kick Starts $181M Project in San Diego

By Erik Pisor CEG CORRESPONDENT

The first major San Diego County highway project to utilize American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding has begun along State Route 76 in Oceanside, Calif.

The $181.6 million project, which will upgrade and improve a 5.5-mi. (8.8 km) stretch of highway, will receive $75.3 million in Recovery Act funding.

“We are taking a road (SR-76) that currently exists as a two-lane narrow, winding road and turning it into a four-lane expressway,” said Mark Phelan, project manager for Caltrans District 11, adding widening will occur from Melrose Drive to South Mission Road.

That portion of SR-76 has an average daily traffic volume

of 30,000, with that figure expected to double by 2030.

According to Caltrans, the accident rate along SR-76 consistently meets or exceeds the statewide average compared to similar two-lane roads.

“It is an urgent project,” Phelan said, adding San Marcosbased Flatiron Inc. officially began construction on Jan. 11.

Part of the highway widening involves the construction of a new 1,700-ft. (518 m) long bridge over the San Luis Rey River.

The two-lane, box-girder bridge will run parallel to the existing San Luis Rey River bridge, which after project completion will carry two lanes of one-way traffic.

During bridge construction, large rock drills will be used for the bridge’s piers. According to Phelan, the diameters of the rock drills are between 8 and 10 ft. (2.4 and 3 m).

The project has an anticipated completion date of December 2012, and will be constructed in four sequences.

Sequences 1 and 2 are currently underway and involve initial construction of the new bridge, and improvements/widening on SR-76 between the San Luis Rey River bridge and Olive Hill Road.

Throughout the next three months Flatiron will set up storm water and clean water measures, remove brush in the project area, and drill for bridge columns at the San Luis Rey River crossing, according to a Caltrans construction update.

Sequences 3 and 4 will begin in the summer of 2010 and involve improving SR-76 between Melrose Drive and the new San Luis Rey River bridge, and from Olive Hill Road and Sweetgrass Lane. see CALTRANS page 36

Caltrans Begins Final Leg of $80.8M Project

By Erik Pisor CEG CORRESPONDENT

The $181.6 million project, which will upgrade and improve a 5.5-mi. (8.8 km) stretch of highway, will receive $75.3 million in Recovery Act funding.

In early December, Caltrans and the Fresno County Transportation Authority announced the completion of the final segment of the State Route 180 (SR-180) Sequoia Freeway Project.

The $80.8 million Sequoia project constructed a new six-lane freeway in Fresno, Calif., from Clovis Avenue to Fowler Avenue, and a new four-lane freeway from Fowler Avenue to Temperance Avenue.

The final section of the project completed the Sequoia Freeway, which now extends more than 12 mi. (19 km). The project also included the construction of new interchanges at Fowler and Temperance Avenue.

On Dec. 3, Caltrans also announced the start of construction on the first segment of the SR-180 East Kings Canyon Expressway Project, which will extend the highway eastward by constructing a new 6-mi.

(9.6 km), four-lane expressway from Temperance Avenue to Quality Avenue.

The $67.6 million project is a partnership between Caltrans, the Council of Fresno County Governments and the Fresno County Transportation Authority.

Scheduled for a summer 2011 completion, the project is receiving $18.4 million in stimulus funding from President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

“Southeast Fresno presently lacks a major east-west freeway,” said Randy Iwasaki, Caltrans Disctrict 6 director. “The Sequoia Freeway and Kings Canyon Expressway projects will provide a safe, convenient east-west mobility for commuters and goods.”

Crews to Move Nearly One Million Cubic Yards of Dirt for SR-76 Job Caltrans Starts $29M CALTRANS from page 35

During all roadway improvement sequences new traffic signals and protective concrete barriers will be installed to eliminate head on accidents and allow for better traffic management.

When the project reaches completion, Phelan estimates that nearly one million cubic yards of dirt will have been moved. He also stated the project will not represent a large scrapper project due to the dirt and rock at the jobsite, and the project’s staging.

Unlike other Caltrans jobs, this project follows a design-sequencing model that allows Caltrans to build project elements, which have completed designs, while concurrently completing design of the remaining project elements and acquiring outstanding right of way.

“It’s almost design staging,” Phelan said. “If we went with the typical design-bid-build (process) we would probably be delayed nine months.”

The design sequencing method looks to accelerate a project that will have its share of challenges.

Because the project site is “butting up against” a highly-sensitive environmental setting, Caltrans and Flatiron will coordinate with environmental monitors; be sensitive to resources adjacent to the project area; and be prepared to encounter unidentified resources such as Native American burial grounds.

According to Phelan there are four endangered

species whose habitat is in or near the project area.

Another project challenge includes water quality issues associated with the river, compliance with stormwater regulations, and the possibility of winter flooding, which could impede the project schedule.

Aside from Recovery Act funding, the project also will receive $16.8 million in Federal Demonstration Funds, $13.5 million in state funds, and $76 million from the TransNet sales tax administered by the San Diego Association of Governments.

The project represents the second significant improvement to SR-76, as a project that improved the highway from I-5 to Melrose Drive was completed in 1999.

When the current SR-76 project reaches completion in late 2012, Caltrans intends to start another improvement job along the roadway.

The estimated $240 million project will develop a four-lane conventional highway from South Mission Road to just east of Interstate 15. The SR-76/I-15 interchange also will be widened.

According to Phelan, the project is currently going through the environmental process and will hopefully be complete sometime in 2014.

Project South of Lucia

By Erik Pisor CEG CORRESPONDENT

A $29 million project intended to project motorists from falling rock and slides has begun in Monterey County.

The project, dubbed the Highway 1 Pitkin’s Curve Bridge and Rainrocks Rockshed, began on Nov. 30 and will install a 620-ft. (188 m) long bridge, and a protective cover on Highway 1 just south of Lucia.

“We are thrilled to break ground on a project that will significantly enhance the long-term stability of the coast highway,” said District 5 Director Rich Krumholz.

During the first stage of construction the roadway will be relocated closer to the hillside and one-way flagging operations may be in effect from 8 am to 4 pm Monday though Friday. By spring, a temporary traffic signal will be in place, meaning one-way traffic control will be in effect 24/7.

The project requires four years of construction time; however, it will go through several winter seasons, which may extend the project’s completion date depending on severity of the weather, according to Caltrans.

The project’s contractor is Golden State Bridge of Martinez, Calif.
