Dorinda Anderson Though many Arizonans don’t travel the 29mi. stretch of Interstate 15 in northwestern Arizona, they see high traffic volume due to its use by commercial trucks. To ensure this section of Interstate 15 continues to provide a safe route for the approximate 24,000 vehicles that travel it daily, linking cities such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, it is being reconstructed in segments, as funding will

But TransCanada requested a separate court date to lift the temporary restraining order, and Sinz scheduled a hearing for Dec. 13, where he lifted the restrictions.

(A growing, vibrant highway and bridge program is one of the keys to economic recovery. The American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) addressed important topics and questions pertaining to the infrastructure construction market in a recent “Webinar” forecast for Wall Street analysts and construction industry executives. Following are highlights of this presentation by David Bauer, ARTBA’s senior vice president, government affairs, and Dr. Alison Premo Black, ARTBA’s chief economist.) A recent “Webinar” by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) in Washington, D.C., addressed a “status quo” stalemate in highway and bridge funding and highlighted the urgent need for shoring up Highway Trust Fund (HTF) revenues to stimulate activity, and spotlighted a broad range of infrastructure activity and needs. The ARTBA officials pointed out that MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century), the 27-month, $101.3billion transportation bill that President Obama signed into law on July 6, 2012, is a two-year reauthorization of federal surface transportation programs. In this environment, they predicted only a modest three percent growth in the U.S. transportation construction infrastructure market in 2013. “MAP-21 is basically a status quo investment measure, which maintains federal highway investment at about $40 billion a year in 2014 and 2015, and transit programs at $10.6 billion in 2014 and $10.7 billion in 2015,” Bauer said. “There’s no major increase in investment in either

Interstate 15 passes through extremely rugged terrain, making it difficult to widen the highway or change its footprint. However, a feasibility study is underway to evaluate possible shoulder improvements, rock fall containment enhancements and adding new climbing lanes on the entire I-15 corridor in Arizona, said Dustin see UPGRADE page 48

Texas Judge Lifts Order on Transcanada Pipeline, for Now By Ramit Plushnick-Masti ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON (AP) TransCanada can resume oil pipeline work on a private Texas property for now, a judge said Dec. 13, at least until a hearing meant to determine whether the product the company wants to transport is in fact crude oil. Judge Jack Sinz initially issued an order in Nacogdoches County Court halting work on

Officials Call MAP-21 ‘Status Quo Investment Measure’ FUNDING from page 1

program, but also not a significant drop off. “MAP-21 took three years, and 10 temporary extensions, to pass. The main reason for the delay was the fiscal cliff facing the Highway Trust Fund, which urgently needs new revenue to replace that which has expired. MAP-21 preserved previous levels of HTF investment through temporary extensions and an infusion of $21-billion from other sources in the general fund. The situation is somewhat stabilized but will be back into the same dynamic of multiple extensions when MAP-21 expires in two years. MAP-21 also cut federal highway investment from $41.1 billion in 2011 to $39.1 billion in 2012.” Highway Trust Fund at Critical Stage

The report noted a general downward trend in federal highway and bridge contracts since the 2009 American Recovery Act (ARA) stimulus. Bauer declared that Congress and the President must bolster HTF investment as soon as possible. “The Highway Trust Fund has a short-term life in preserving MAP-21 levels of investment,” he said. “Congress will again be in a very difficult position in terms of increasing revenues or cutting deficits. If nothing is done to increase HTF revenue, highway investment will drop 57 percent — from $40.4 billion in 2014 to $17.3 billion in 2015. The insolvency crisis looming in 2014 and 2015 threatens thousands of jobs in the construction industry. “Most of the same people will control the House and Senate in 2014, when we could be facing the same short-

State of the Nation’s Highway Funding (In the following interview, Beth McGinn, director of public affairs of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), answers questions about the status of the nation’s highway and bridge construction program.) CEG: Highway and bridge construction is one of the keys to sustaining our economic recovery. Are we moving ahead? McGinn: ARTBA President Pete Ruane and 2012 ARTBA Chair Paul Yarossi were present when President Obama signed the new surface transportation bill, MAP-21, into law this past July. Immediately after leaving the White House, Yarossi announced the formation of an ARTBA task force that will spearhead the association’s efforts to secure additional federal investment for MAP-21, work with federal, state and local agencies on the implementation of the new law, and look ahead toward the next reauthorization process. When you consider what MAP-21 was up against, that it took almost three years to get done, and that it will expire in two years, you can see how important it is to start preparing now.

that’s just to maintain the existing network. CEG: What’s the outlook on how many years would be funded by the next bill? McGinn: If I could predict what Congress will do, I’d be a very wealthy woman. I can tell you that infrastructure projects like those our members help build take years to complete. So, multi-year spending authorization is needed to give states the certainty they need to move forward on projects. The last highway bill, SAFETEA LU, basically funded six years of work. After it expired in 2009, it was extended 10 times until the present transportation bill was passed and signed into law. The time that the next bill will cover depends on Congress coming up with a long term revenue stream. CEG: Could efforts to avoid automatic cuts under the “fiscal cliff” crisis result in cutting funds for highway work? McGinn: The “fiscal cliff” is a combination of roughly 8 percent across-the-board spending cuts (sequestration) and tax increases due to the expiration of tax cuts mostly enacted in 2001 and 2003. The HTF is largely exempt.

CEG: Would the task force recommend steps that Congress should take? McGinn: MAP-21 provided needed market funding and stability over the short term, but the long-term revenue challenges facing the Highway Trust Fund remain. We must get Congress to step up and fund the federal transportation capital investment program properly with a sustainable and robust dedicated revenue stream.

CEG: Does ARTBA still favor raising the federal fuel tax to increase funding of the Highway Trust Fund? McGinn: Let’s not get hung up on one method. We are focusing on all user-based means to strengthen the Highway Trust Fund, as well as ensuring that Congress and the President fully understand the dire consequences of inaction.

CEG: In ARTBA’s estimation, how much should we be spending on our highways and how would this funding affect our economy? McGinn: According to the U.S. DOT there is currently a $20 billion annual shortfall at the federal level just to maintain status quo road conditions. So that’s not even to improve our transportation network for the millions of new drivers and commuters expected to come onto the system over the next several years —

CEG: Is there any evidence that MAP-21 is creating more jobs? McGinn: The measure basically continues current funding levels for the highway program. Our economists say MAP-21 is providing some measure of stability to the transportation construction industry, but no new money means no new growth. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

term solutions as in 2009. A wholesale rewrite of MAP-21 is pretty unlikely. Some things in MAP-21 will take four to six years to accomplish. Past guarantees of investment levels have been stripped away, so there will be annual discussions on whether to adhere to levels agreed upon.” Bauer pointed out that in the past 30 years, all HTF enhancements have been part of a broad tax/budget legislation deal, rather than coming from a transportation bill, and that solutions that alleviate or eliminate the HTF burden on the general fund will contribute to deficit reduction. Majorities in Congress Support Funding Bauer said MAP-21 made a number of policy reforms that Congress has sought for at least 10 years, including streamlining the environmental review process, eliminating earmarks, and providing greater accountability and transparency. “Cleaning up such concerns may make it easier to generate future revenues for more growth,” he added. “Despite the incredibly hostile political environment in the 2012 election year, MAP-21 received unparalleled levels of bipartisan support compared to other legislation, reinforcing transportation investment. It passed the House with 373 votes, almost half from Republicans. Almost half the Republicans and all the Democrats in the Senate voted for it. This showed that some of the people who wanted to highjack the process through massive investment cuts couldn’t do it.” Fiscal Cliff Bauer said the “fiscal cliff,” the prospect of automatic spending cuts and tax increases if the deficit was not reduced, “has provided the opportunity to discuss HTF expansions, and try to do something proactive in this area.” He said that “there will probably be no answer [to the HTF crisis] by the end of 2012” adding: “HTF advances on the fiscal cliff will take until 2013 if not beyond. Most surface transportation programs would be exempt from the forced cuts under the sequestration program, which was to begin in January 2013. The eight percent fee on other programs would not apply to core highway programs, which are Trust Fund-supported.” Dr. Black, ARTBA’s chief economist, commented as follows on the “cliff,” which she said had been “a major wild card in the forecast:” “Although the fiscal cliff would not directly impact federal highway investment to the states, it could affect state and local finances, and thereby cause governments to pull back or delay projects. Such action in turn would have negative consequences on the highway construction market.” She said individual businesses also could delay capital and hiring decisions amid the uncertainty. Modest Growth in Infrastructure Work Black said the U.S. transportation construction infrastructure market is expected to show “modest growth” in 2013, increasing three percent from $126.5 billion to $130.3 billion. This growth would be in highway and bridge pavement, airport and terminal runways, railroads, and ports and waterways. She predicted that the bridge market, which has shown substantial growth over the past 10 years, will remain flat in 2013. Bridge and tunnel construction reached a record $28.5 billion in 2012 but will cool off in 2013, likely remaining flat at about $28.2 billion, she said, but rebounding smartly in 2014. The ARTBA forecast shows projects in eight states continuing to account for about half of U.S. market activity see FUNDING page 16

Materials Prices Not Expected to be Big Issue in 2013-14 FUNDING from page 10

in this sector. The states are California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington. Bridge work accounts for about 14 percent of state DOT outlays and the market is expected to remain healthy, with continued growth, over the next five years. Major projects include work on the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York, the Ohio River Bridge, the “floating SR29 bridge” in Washington State, the Detroit River Bridge, three major projects on the George Washington Bridge, and $500 million in Brooklyn Bridge projects. Black said about 60 percent of federal obligations goes toward bridge work. Black added that the pavements market will be sluggish in 2013, growing 2.8 percent to $58.4 billion. This includes $47.7 billion in public and private investment in highways, roads and streets and $10.7 billion in largely private investments in parking lots, driveways and related structures. Pavement work is predicted to be down in 25 states and to grow above five percent in 19 states. Two developments relating to MAP-21 could lead to additional market activity in the short term and strengthen the market in 2013 and 2014, Black said. One, the law’s restructuring of the federal highway program offers state transportation departments more flexibility in their use of federal funds, which could lead to slightly increased investment in highway, bridge and pavement work. Two, MAP-21’s expanded federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan program should also increase construction activity in some states. She also noted the boost from major reconstruction work along the East Coast in states hit by Hurricane Sandy. Driving the Market Black pointed out that the major drivers of the transportation construction market are the federal aid program and state and local financing. “Looking at capital outlays, reimbursements to state governments drive about 44 percent of the market,” she said, adding: “When you consider that part of that money goes to match the federal program, federal investment accounts for about half of the transportation construction market. State and local revenues are largely driven by their own motor fuel and general revenues. The more revenues are coming in, the more they can put into transportation construction. “Federal obligation levels for specific projects show what they can pass on to state and local projects. MAP-21 didn’t provide new money. Project costs are designed to be in line with inflation, but often remain above it, so in essence we’re

looking at a status quo federal aid investment, which is not a major driver of growth. “MAP-21 does make some positive changes that eliminate some of the former bottlenecks. In the past, federal aid money was not subject to annual obligation limits, and so some states carried over unobligated balances. Now the money has to be obligated in the federal fiscal year so that money can get into the funding stream sooner.” State, Local Projects Black said some recovery of lost revenues is taking place on the state and local level. She said this is a positive sign for construction. “A quarter of those revenues come from the federal aid program and this funding must go to capital expenditures like highway construction, rather than for operations or administrative costs,” she added. “User fees account for about 41 percent of revenues, but these are impacted by the overall economy, including whether less people are driving. Some states also have other fees. Bonds account for about 14 percent of revenues. “Over the long run, overall tax revenues are one of the best indicators of what will be spent on highways and bridges. We expect these revenues to be back where they were in 2008, which is very positive. However, there is usually a lag between when these funds come in and when additional capital expenditures take place in transportation. States still have to spend more in other areas, including 2.5 million more students in public colleges and universities and 4.8 million more people eligible for health insurance coverage. There’s still a $55-billion gap between this revenue and expenditures.” The outlook for public/private partnerships, meanwhile, has been improving, Black said, “and they are a very important market tool for many states.” Other Forecast Areas Bond issues from state and local governments have been a significant investment. A big $3.2 billion uptick occurred in state and local bond issues in September 2012, but this is nowhere near the level of bond issues several years ago. Though state and local spending is starting to improve, ARTBA does not expect significant investment, which would really drive overall growth in highway and bridge construction, or any large jump in spending in 2013. Material prices aren’t expected to be a big issue in 2013 and 2014, but will be an issue in the longer run, with an

uptick expected as demand increases in general construction. The world economy also is a factor in making supply more difficult in a few years. The materials market is pretty much back where it was before the market crashed in 2008. Inflation is expected to remain in the two percent to three percent range, with prices for highway and bridge materials increasing about three percent. U.S. ports and waterway construction are expected to skyrocket nearly 25 percent, to $2.65 billion in 2013. This growth will be driven by expanded sea trade expected with

completion of the Panama Canal expansion in 2015. Construction of airport runways and terminals is expected to grow in 28 states, with overall growth of 4.5 percent, to $12.5 billion in 2013. Funding is expected to increase over the next five years as passengers increase, larger aircraft arrive, and privatization proceeds. Fourteen airports in eight metropolitan areas need upgrading. Five airports now accommodate the larger aircraft now arriving on the scene, and 12 more airports are expected to handle them in 2013 after upgrade construction. Construction of light rail and subways is expected to decrease eight percent largely due to the 33-month delay in passing MAP-21. In surveys, 57 percent of contractors expect sluggish growth. ARTBA said that, because contractors are working below capacity level, they have the ability to handle new projects in an expanded public works program vitally boosting the economy.” CEG

Texas Landowners Battle TransCanada Pipeline Building Plan PIPELINE from page 1

would also address TransCanada’s counterclaim that Bishop has breached his contract to build its pipeline on his property. Bishop, meanwhile, vowed to fight on, one of many Texas landowners battling TransCanada’s plan to build a pipeline to transport Canadian tar sands oil to Gulf Coast refineries. “TransCanada executives may be smirking over Judge Sinz’s ruling, but they’ve got another thing coming if they think I’ll just roll over for its dirty pipeline,” Bishop said

in a statement. “I didn’t pick this fight, but I refuse to sit idly by while a multinational corporation tramples my rights and that of other landowners all along Keystone XL’s path in the name of deepening its profits.” The company’s project has encountered numerous obstacles nationwide, including President Barack Obama’s rejection of the presidential permit they require for the pipeline to cross the U.S.-Canadian border. Obama suggested that while TransCanada reroutes Keystone to avoid an environmentally sensitive area of Nebraska, it begin con-

structing a shorter portion from Cushing, Okla., to Texas. That work has begun. Bishop said he recently settled his legal battle with TransCanada over the condemnation of his land because he could no longer afford the legal fees. However, after settling that, he filed a new lawsuit against TransCanada arguing the company lied to Texans when it said crude would be transported through the pipeline. Bishop, who is representing himself, argues that tar sands — or diluted bitumen — are not crude oil because the product

begins as a near solid and must be diluted before being transported through a pipeline. TransCanada insists tar sands are a form of crude oil, and Howard said Bishop knew the pipeline would be used to transport that product when he agreed to let the company use his land. “We are very pleased with Judge Sinz’s dismissal on this temporary restraining order,” Howard said in a statement. “TransCanada has been open, honest and transparent with Mr. Bishop at all times.”

C&S Waste Solutions Pulls Off Rare Recycling Feat in Ukiah It’s rare to find someone recycling all recyclable materials. No matter how easy a waste collection company or municipality makes it — through blue cart and green waste bin sorting — some recyclable material will ultimately end up in the landfill. It is forward-thinking companies such as C&S Waste Solutions of Ukiah, Calif., that are taking the extra steps necessary to keep as much material as possible from winding up in the landfill. “We’re in the business of diverting material from the landfill,” said Bruce McCracken, partner at C&S Waste Solutions. “Not being proactive and pulling material from the waste stream seems strange to us. It is throwing away revenue.” C&S became part of the Northern California market in 2008, when it purchased the assets of a waste company in Lake County. It collects municipal solid waste (MSW) from the citizens of Ukiah, Clearlake and three-fourths of the population of Lake County. The State requires counties and cities to divert a minimum of 50 percent of discarded materials from landfills. The C&S Ukiah headquarters operates a transfer station, material recover facility and compost facility to help adhere to this law. To divert recyclable materials from the landfill, C&S offers free blue cart recycling for items like newspapers, magazines, cardboard, food and beverage bottles and jars, metal cans, and plastic bottles. For ease, no sorting of these materials is required by the customer. The company also offers green bin collection for grass clippings and other yard waste material, which goes to its compost facility. The Ukiah location receives MSW from its own fleet of collection trucks and from self-haulers. This material is spread across a transfer station floor and hand sorted to recover recyclable material from the waste stream prior to being sent to the landfill. “We’ll pull anything from carpet padding to scrap metal from the waste,” said McCracken. “It just makes ecological and economic sense.” What didn’t make sense to C&S was the traditional approach to transfer station equipment and design. Wheel loaders handling the material weren’t helpful in removing bulky items from the trash during sorting. The buckets weren’t designed to efficiently handle oddshaped pieces like scrap metal and high dimensional lumber, and it took as long as 30 minutes to load a trailer. Some transfer station designs included buildings with low ceiling clearance, making them susceptible to damage by

C&S Waste has found the material handler is more efficient and versatile than a wheel loader at sorting through the material, especially with regards to pieces like high dimensional lumber.

end-dump trailers delivering their loads. Overhead doors and support beams also were targets for damage by trucks, trailers and loading equipment. Additionally, the excavated tunnels or elevated floors designed to allow wheel loaders to push material into a container were expensive to build, and “they were a safety concern as well,” said McCracken. “In my 30 years in the business, I’ve seen wheel loaders drop into the trailer because they got too close to the edge.” A Smarter Transfer In 2011, C&S owners Dave Carroll and John Shea and partners Damon Shea and McCracken took the opportunity to address the shortcomings of traditional transfer station philosophy when designing a new transfer building at the Lake County facility. see SOLUTIONS page 18

By switching to the MHL320 D, C&S Waste has reduced the time it takes to load a trailer by a third, while diverting more material from the landfill.

MSW to wood and scrap metal,” he said. “We love the versatility the machine offers by giving us the ability to handle several different material types,” Carroll added. Because the Terex Fuchs handler is working with a variety of material, Ketchum recommended the 0.5 cu. yd. (0.40 cu m) four-tine Rotobec grapple attachment. “This style of grapple is a bit more forgiving than a fivetine, so it allows the operator to handle a broader range of material and assists with quickly loading the trailers,” he said. Steve Brezinski, Terex Construction heavy equipment product manager for material handlers added, “The MHL320 D also comes standard with an 11 kW generator to run a magnet for sorting and clean-up, should C&S need this type of attachment in the future.” Offering an elevated cab design with a maximum eyelevel of 17.0 ft. (5.2 m), the handler improves trailer loading efficiency in addition to sorting efficiency. “The elevated cab allows the operator to peer over the sides of the trailer, so he can properly load the material. The cab also offers a birds-eye view of everything, so the operator can easily see the workers on the ground,” said McCracken. C&S reports that by using the material handler, workers have reduced the time it takes to load a trailer by one-third. More importantly, it is helping to improve the process for diverting more material from going to the landfill. McCracken estimates that an additional 25 to 35 percent of recyclable material is pulled from the waste stream at the transfer station. This is on top of the recyclable material from the blue and green cart programs that are already being diverted. This experiment with the Terex Fuchs MHL320 D material handler has proven that by rethinking the traditional transfer station concept, a company can save money, improve efficiency and reduce the amount of material that is landfilled. “Material handlers at transfer stations are the wave of the future,” said McCracken. “The handler will ultimately replace the In the business of diverting material from the landfill, C&S Waste Solutions uses a Terex Fuchs MHL320 D to increase sorting and trailer loading efficiency at its larger loaders at our other transfer stations,” transfer station Carroll added.

They considered new approaches to construction as well as new types of equipment to help sort, move and load waste and recyclable material. A major change for the new 20,000 sq. ft. (1,858 sq. m) building is that the entire concrete floor surface is level. There are no elevated portions or excavated tunnels for loading trucks with a wheel loader. “In addition to addressing a safety concern for us, this saved the company several hundreds of thousands of dollars on building construction,” said Carroll. The savings and unique construction approach were made possible, in part, because C&S bucked tradition and decided to use a Terex Fuchs material handler for loading trucks and assisting with material sorting. This move also eliminated the need for push-wall construction and maintenance required with the use of wheel loaders. “Anything we can do to be more innovative and forwardthinking helps our customer by stabilizing rates,” added McCracken. C&S also incorporated an “open” design to the structure by eliminating the doors and some of the enclosures. Nearly the building’s entire 170 ft. (51.8 m) front span and 150 ft. (45.7 m) of one side feature a clear span design with no obstructions. Interior beam height is 33 ft. 8 in. (10.3 m) and the ceiling is 36 ft. (11 m) high, which allows plenty of room for both end-dump truck offloading and material handler operation. Different lane designation signs allow for the floor area to be segmented into loads of yard/wood waste, MSW and recycle material. “The new transfer station in Lake County is built for efficiency, to quickly sort and load material into trailer for further processing or landfilling,” said Jason Ketchum, account manager of Road Machinery, a Terex Fuchs material handler distributor in California. Wave of the Future According to McCracken, the company’s decision to switch from a wheel loader to the Terex Fuchs material handler as the primary loading equipment at the transfer station is paying off. “The handler is more efficient than

the loader,” he said. Ketchum and Road Machinery assisted C&S with selection of the right size material handler for the operation. “Due to the 33 foot, 8 inch height restriction, we recommended the Terex Fuchs MHL320 D with a 31.4 foot reach for working inside the building without damaging the ceiling.” The MHL320 D is powered by a 114 hp (85 kW) diesel engine and delivers the torque required for up to 8 RPM swing speed to increase loading productivity. Its four-point hydraulically operated stabilizers and wide underbody help to offer impressive lifting capacities. Solid rubber tires and rigid front axle with 30-degree steering angle allow the operator to easily navigate around the yard. C&S uses the Terex Fuchs handler to help improve the workers’ sorting efficiency on the floor. “If a load comes in with heavy items such as high dimensional lumber,” said McCracken “the handler will pull it out of the pile, making sorting a little easier for the workers. We use the handler to pick up everything, from concrete and

High-Speed Rail Must Hustle to Keep Its Federal Funding LOS ANGELES (AP) California will need to build its high-speed train line in record time if it doesn’t want to risk losing federal funds — indeed, it will have to be the fastest piece of transportation construction in U.S. history, experts said. Under a federal deadline, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has until September 2017 to finish the first segment of the line in the Central Valley. In that time, the project will need to acquire some 120 permits, 1,100 parcels of land and a huge workforce. At a projected cost of $6 billion,

California would be spending $2.7 million a day to finish on time, according to an estimate by John Popoff of Parsons Brinckerhoff, a consulting firm working with the rail authority. The figure could reach $3.5 million a day when the cost of buying land is added to construction, management and environmental costs, construction experts told the Los Angeles Times. By comparison, the spending rate for the $6.5 billion Bay Bridge replacement project in Oakland is tagged at about $1.8 million per day.

Construction of the Alameda Corridor freight rail line in Los Angeles, completed in 2002, also ran about $1.8 million per day. “It is a very aggressive plan,” said Manuel Garcia, associate director at the Construction Industry Institute affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin. “It does appear that it will be a challenge.” Delays caused by legal, political or technical problems could leave the first segment uncompleted by the deadline, which potentially could halt the flow of federal money. The project is nine months behind schedule in securing approval from the Federal

Railroad Administration, a consultant for the rail authority said in a status report. Land acquisition also is facing problems, Mark Ashley said. “It is dicey right now whether that is going to hold up our construction or impact our schedule,” he said. Contractors must submit bids by September to build the first section, from Madera to Fresno. The rail authority contract terms call for builders to face $1 million per day in penalties for failing to meet final deadlines after March 1, 2017.

ICON Celebrates 30 Years of Success Underground

Company employees flank the company sign.

Brian W. Crandall believes that underground construction is the most dangerous work a contractor undertakes. So in 1982, he started a company to help make the process safer, faster and more cost-efficient. Crandall’s vision for ICON in 1982 was to revolutionize trench shoring and guided auger boring by achieving new benchmarks of quality and safety that exceeded the industry standards of the time. Thirty years and tens of thousands of jobs later, it’s safe to say Crandall’s company is successfully meeting that vision. In 1982, Crandall discovered a German “slide rail” shoring system that slashed job times and total costs by up to 40 percent over conventional sheeting for water and sewer lines. Crandall incorporated ICON Equipment Distributors to provide shoring services to the contracting industry. “Over the years, ICON has built a solid team that works with customers to find the safest, most cost-effective underground solution for their projects,” Crandall said. From the start, ICON was an innovator. The company was the first shoring distributor to receive engineering approval for the slide rail system for New York City, the NY/NJ Port Authority and dozens of transportation departments around the nation. ICON quickly made a name for itself as a firm that provided safe shoring solutions on large and small construction projects. Even some of the toughest excavations were completed with ease due to the modularity of slide rail systems. “No other company in the industry has diversity of excavation shoring solutions that ICON can offer,” Crandall said. “We can offer a solution, engineer it, manufacture it, supply it and train our customers to use it safely. This helps them complete their projects on time and on budget.” In the early days, Crandall and his wife Christine worked long hours building the company. With a fast-growing firm like ICON, whoever was available was thrown into the fray to make sure the job got done.

Crandall gives his wife full credit for her role in the company’s early success. Christine worked as the company’s first human resources person, helping with payroll, insurance and benefits, as well as overall office management. Though a successful, established company now, ICON is still a family affair. Crandall’s son David is vice president and his son Jason serves as the director of human resources and corporate safety. Here are some highlights of ICON’s remarkable growth from its humble beginnings: • 1984 — ICON offers microtunneling equipment from Germany’s Krings Company and completes 12 microtunnels in the eastern United States. The company breaks the record by laying 500 ft. (152 m) of 48-in. (122 m) pipe under the Saugus River in Massachusetts. • 1986 — The City of New York hires ICON to use a “super” slide rail system to install 7,000 ft. (2,133 m) of culvert 26 ft. (7.9 m) below the surface. This was the first time NYC had approved pre-cast box culverts — and ICON gets the job done ahead of schedule with dramatic savings in labor and equipment costs. • 1988 — ICON’s first international project. In Cairo, Egypt, the company designs and supplies a 90,000-ft. (27,432 m) long linear sewer line 32 ft. (9.7 m) deep. The line is completed on budget and well ahead of schedule. • 1990s — ICON opens branch offices in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Completes more projects in Egypt, as well as Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and many other cities. • 1996 — In need of more space, ICON builds a new 15acre complex in East Brunswick to design and manufacture a 100 percent American-made slide rail system. The company’s groundbreaking design improvements are an instant success, adding strength, durability and ease of use to the system.

• 2002 — ICON buys the Duralite line from Washington Aluminum Co., giving the company more shoring solutions, including lightweight aluminum boxes. • 2004 — ICON becomes the national dealer/distributor for Bortec, Gmbh, the world’s top manufacturer of pilot-tube technology in guided auger boring systems. This technology helps crews install sewers directly on line and grade. Jason Crandall said the company’s success all comes back to the great team of people who work at ICON. “We get a lot of business from referrals and I attribute this to the overall quality of our employees and the team we have in place,” he said. He gives credit to long-time associates Muriel Taylor, Dana Smith and Atif Dukes — as well as Operations Manager Robert Langenbach, Sales Support Manager Jayesh Patel, National Shoring Manager David H. Mellon and Controller Stephen Antenucci. Today, ICON serves more than 1,600 customers across the United States and has completed more than 8,500 slide rail projects to date. In addition to slide rail systems, ICON’s other projects have involved steel and aluminum trench boxes, wire slings and lifting devices, hydraulic shoring and road plates. David Crandall said that the newest venture for the company is a major hub in Columbus, Ohio, for serving midwest customers in slide rail shoring, trench shoring and trenchless products. This branch will be unique because it will conduct repairs and light manufacturing onsite, unlike other ICON locations, he said. David said the company is not resting on its laurels. “ICON is growing in this economy because we can read the market and have been able to change very quickly to keep ahead of the competition and gain more work as a result,” he said.

Alaska DOT Backs Off Highway Plan Affecting Refuge FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) Proposed transportation improvements to relieve congestion in northeast Fairbanks will no longer include a road extension that could have cut through a state game refuge, according to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported state planners have dropped consideration of extending McGrath Road, which could have taken acres out of Creamer’s Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge.

Two months ago, more than 100 people showed up at a department open house to hear about the proposed extension. Most opposed the project. Cost and environmental considerations were factors — the expense of building and maintaining a road across permafrost-laden soils would have been expensive, DOT project manager Al Beck said. “Everything was aligning that this was not the proper fix,” he said. The department will instead improve traffic flow by focusing on revisions to existing roads, Beck said. The department wants to lessen congestion where the Steese Highway meets the Johansen Expressway. The intersection is just north of a shopping complex that includes major box stores including Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Barnes and Noble, Fred Meyer and Sportsman’s Warehouse. Motorists sometimes face wait times longer than three minutes to clear the intersection. The DOT classifies it as a failed intersection. Bill Holman, president of the nonprofit Friends of Creamer’s Field, praised the DOT decision regarding the refuge. “I think that’s wonderful,” Holman said. “We were very concerned.” The Federal Highways Administration is helping fund congestion relief but hasn’t approved the revised scope of the project. The paperwork will be submitted soon, Beck said.

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.
