Improvements to I-84 West Continue Through Winter By Rebecca Ragain CEG CORRESPONDENT

Road Machinery Hosts Paving Seminar...17

The population of Meridian, Idaho, grew 96 percent between 2000 and 2009. The nearby towns of Nampa and Caldwell grew 57 and 67 percent, respectively, in the same time frame. It's no wonder that the region's highway system was due for improvement. Most of the area’s freeways and bridges were built in the 1960s, said Idaho Transportation Department spokesperson Reed Hollinshead. “Population growth and growth in traffic over the last 40-plus years has outstripped the ability of that system to continue to serve it [the area] efficiently,” said Hollinshead. Interstate 84, the main connector between Caldwell and Meridian, sees the highest traffic volume in the region. To accommodate growth, ITD has identified nine projects along the I-84 corridor between Caldwell and Meridian; several sections of interstate

Crews work through the night paving in the median just prior to the traffic switch on I-84.

The market for exports of U.S.-made construction machinery closed out 2010 with a gain of more than 28 percent compared to the previous year, for a total of $16.4 billion dollars’ worth of equipment sold worldwide, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). The AEM North American-based international trade group consolidates U.S. Commerce Department data with other sources into a quarterly export trends report. “Global trade is extremely important to our industry and export sales continue to sustain many companies as we still face a fragile domestic upturn,” said AEM Senior Vice President Al Cervero. “While these numbers are positive we have to remember they follow a 2009 decline of more than 38 percent.” “It’s important to pass the pending free-trade

agreements with Colombia, Korea and Panama to help manufacturers create more U.S. jobs by selling their products to international buyers,” he added. Export business to Europe gained 23 percent for a total $1.88 billion, and exports to Asia grew 10 percent and totaled $2.2 billion. Construction machinery exports to South America increased 31 percent in 2010 for a total $3.1 billion; and exports to Central America came in at $1.6 billion, a 24-percent increase. The largest gain was to Australia/Oceania with a 66-percent increase for a total $1.6 billion. The only decline was to Africa with a 5percent drop for $934 million worth of purchases. Construction machinery exports to Canada gained 39 percent and totaled $5.1 bil-

lion. The top countries buying the most U.S.made construction machinery in 2010 were: (1) Canada — $5.1 billion, up 39 percent; (2) Australia — $1.5 billion, up 62 percent; (3) Mexico — $1.2 billion, up 25 percent; (4) Chile — $920 million, up 21 percent; (5) Brazil — $758 million, up 48 percent; (6) Colombia — $588 million, up 50 percent; (7) China — $499 million, up 2 percent; (8) Peru — $437 million, up 37 percent; (9) Belgium — $399 million, up 11 percent; (10) South Africa — $396 million, up 12 percent; (11) Russia — $333 million — up 60 percent; (12) Singapore — $299 million, up 40 percent; (13) Saudi Arabia — $227 million, down 4 percent; (14) Arab Emirates — $197 million, up 38 percent; (15) Germany — $197 million, up 34 percent.

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) Scooting closer to the door frame, Chris Cochran turned on the saw and slowly moved the blade into the wood. Cochran, 19, had to move the doorway one and one-half inches from where it had been constructed. As the saw cut through the wood, approaching the floor, the blade bent a little. Then it bent a lot. A 3-in. piece of wood flew nearly 4 ft. away, landing next to a bag of sunflower seeds and a small radio. “Warpage,” Cochran said. “Another blade gone.” Within minutes, a classmate approached with a new blade. The two worked together to unjam the old blade, without success. They handed off the project to Rob Hill, who puts his years of construction experience to work by teaching high school students the ins and outs of the construction business. The core construction class meets daily for four hours, often working on various construction projects in the community or schools. Students earn one half-credit every three weeks, making the class one of the quickest way for students to earn lost credit. This year, students have the opportunity to learn how to build a house from the ground up. A small, one-bedroom cabin is being constructed on the Casper College campus in conjunction with several college classes. The project is funded with an $18,000 grant from the Natrona County Board of Cooperative Educational Services and community donations.

The high school students switch days, working together for big tasks such as raising the walls or putting on the roof. College students were involved in the drafting and estimating process, Hill said. Licensed electricians and plumbers handle specialty work. Once complete, the cabin will be sold to the highest bidder and the money will fund another project next year, Hill said. “It’s a slice of the real world, I guess,” Hill said. Hill focuses on communication and teamwork. The class teaches all aspects of construction, from filling out forms to measuring and cutting wallboard to the economics behind construction projects. The cabin uses new green-building materials such as blown insulation and windows that block summer heat. College Credit Several college classes have their hands in the project, said instructor Jim Sears. The cabin was planned by a construction management class and an estimating class. The construction technology class works on the cabin twice a week. Marketing students from the business school will sell the cabin when it’s finished. The project operates like a real house construction project, with office and site personnel working together. “Most have done some kind of subcontract work in the summer, but they haven’t worked beginning to end,” Sears said. High school students also can earn college credit. Most students probably didn’t consider attending college before enrolling in the class.

WASHINGTON (AP) Federal and state officials recently threw their support behind the construction of two underground tunnels as the best option for restoring California’s freshwater delta and meeting the needs of farmers and Southern California cities. The diversion of water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to croplands and urban areas has furthered the decline of the largest estuary in the West. Officials are trying to find a solution that would reduce the ecological stress on the delta without harming the state’s agricultural economy. Under the plan, two tunnels that are 33-ft. (10 m) in diameter and 150 ft. (45.7 m) below the surface would deliver water from north of the delta to the south. Water users would pay the tab, an estimated $13 billion. The tunnels would take about 10 years to construct. The plan drew immediate protests from environmental groups, who said it doesn’t include specific goals that would measure success in protecting salmon and other endangered species. They also said it failed to contain measures that would lead people to conserve water. The delta, where the state’s major rivers drain from the northern and central Sierra Nevada, is the hub of California’s water supply. Both the state and federal government run massive pumps that siphon drinking and irrigation water to more than 25 million Californians and the Central Valley farms that grow much of the nation’s fruits and vegetables. The Bay Delta Conservation Plan is a federal and state initiative that would determine a framework for dealing with the declining health of the delta, as well as the increasing demand for its water. One of the leading players in the nego-

tiations, the Westlands Water District, pulled out of negotiations a few weeks ago. The announcement seemed designed to give stakeholders and the public a sense of progress. “The status quo is not acceptable. The status quo will only result in a continuing and endless cycle of conflict, litigation and paralysis,” Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar said during a conference call summarizing the plan to reporters. Salazar and other officials also said they still considered Westlands a part of the planning process. “This is the only game in town, and we’re hopeful they’ll be full and robust participants as we move forward,” Salazar said. Officials said the key elements to the plan were restoring tens of thousands of acres of marshland and floodplains, and developing a new system of moving water around the delta. In recent years, court decisions aimed at protecting endangered fish have restricted water deliveries from the delta and have spelled major losses for growers in the state’s farm belt who rely on the delta’s water to irrigate their crops. The Kern County Water Agency called the plan an important development in coming up with a strategy for restoring the delta. Agency officials, however, said they were concerned that the proposal leaves open the amount of water supply that the tunnels could provide. State officials only said that modeling suggests that annual water exports would be more reliable and greater than current exports.

It’s a rubber tire roller that vibrates with enough centrifugal force to equal the output of a 55,000 pound pneumatic. The GW750 handles the toughest HMA mixes with ease, getting balanced high densities from the top through the bottom of the mat. Great on SMA, too! And it provides a sound interlock between new overlays and profiled surfaces. It’s bonus time!

LO-PRO 250 Introduced...

The Worldwide Leader in Concrete Paving Technology

CON-E-CO Announces New Ready-Mix Concrete Batch Plant CON-E-CO, an Oshkosh Corporation company, introduced the LO-PRO 250 mobile ready-mix concrete batch plant. This is the smallest and least expensive LO-PRO batch plant, and it was designed with input from ready-mix concrete producers from across the country. “The LO-PRO 250 was engineered with ready-mix producers in mind,” said Neil Smith, CON-E-CO general manager. “The plant has excellent capabilities, yet it has a smaller footprint and is ideal for use as a mobile satellite plant. For the producer that demands flexibility and an excellent value, the LO-PRO 250 demands closer inspection.” The LO-PRO 250 features a 250-barrel in-truss cement storage bin that is expandable to 550 barrels as output requirements increase. To help meet air quality standards, an overhead truck dust collection system recycles material directly back into the

cement batcher. The LO-PRO 250 batch plant also offers an additional 400- or 565-barrel capacity cement storage component that mounts directly on the plant. It also features a “blending” cement batcher, as well as a “live bottom” aggregate batcher for ready-mix quality. As with all LO-PRO models, the 250 allows for easy, 180-degree mixer truck charging access. “In today’s economy, smaller and more nimble can sometimes be the best solution. That’s what the LO-PRO 250 is all about,” Smith added. About CON-E-CO Concrete Equipment Company (CON-ECO) is a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, and engineers, manufactures and supports portable and stationary batch plants.

Trenching—The Way It Should Be. You may have noticed something different about our most recent trencher models. Our new walk-behinds— the compact RT10, RT12 and RT24—offer a choice of high-flotation tires or heavy-duty oscillating tracks, both of which provide outstanding stability and traction. And the mighty RT115 Quad’s innovative chevron track pattern provides maximum traction in wet conditions and on slopes. With every Ditch Witch® trencher you can count on the hardest-working, longest-lasting machine in its class—that will never change. See your dealer for more information, or visit ditchwitch.com.
