Sustainability: A Major Focus At Chicago Pipe Conference The contribution of plastic pipe systems to sustainable development will be one of the key discussion points at the upcoming Plastic Pipes XVII Conference and Exhibition in Chicago. Evidence from environmental assessments carried out by independent technical institutes will
underline the advantages of these systems. Furthermore, recent sustainable developments for mitigating flooding, seismic events, creating high-yield horticulture and transforming desert landscapes will be considered. Stephen Boros, VP Engineering for Pipelines Plas-
tics, LLC and Chairman of the organizing committee of the event is convinced that the 500 participants expected from over 35 countries will profit from the experience. “Our conference and exhibition is a truly global event. Much has happened since we first considered the aspects of sustainability

and what that meant to the technical development and promotion of plastic piping systems.” “As we look at ways to rehabilitate our aging underground infrastructure and protect our dwindling natural resources, the push towards recycling coupled with greater awareness of the long life environmental benefits of plastic pipe, continues to transform our industry. Conference delegates are drawn from the complete business and technical spectrum of an industry that generates a global turnover in excess of USD 100 Billion. The conference offers major utilities, system designers, engineers, pipe and fitting manufacturers, resin companies and other suppliers the unique opportunity to come together to learn the latest developments as well as network with each other and drive the industry further.” Low Environmental Impacts In Europe, a wide range of plastic pipe systems have been assessed for their environmental impact and carbon footprint. Commissioned by The European Plastic Pipes and Fittings
August 2014
Association (TEPPFA), these technical studies that embrace Life Cycle Assessments will be presented at the Chicago conference. They will confirm the low environmental impact of plastic pipe systems compared to nonplastic pipe systems. The scope and scale of flooding and drought throughout the world have prompted innovative plastic pipe solutions to manage and harvest rainwater under such increasingly unpredictable conditions. Conference attendees will learn how plastic pipe technology is now being used in Australia to offset extensive flooding. This solution was applied following an overflow of the Morwell River that caused USD 400 million of damage to infrastructure and put the electricity supply to over one million homes in Victoria at risk. Case evidence from China and India will also show how innovative pipe solutions such as trenchless technology are offsetting the worst effects of flooding. Sustainable Goals As the World Football Cup recently took centre stage, few spectators would’ve been aware that
in 2006, the host nation of Germany employed plastic storm water boxes below the playing field to avoid water logged conditions above. In Chicago, participants will appreciate how these devices are now being widely used in other countries to prevent flooding, land erosion and subsidence as well as harvest precious rainwater for use in times of drought. Plastic pipe technology is also being used as a sustainable solution to maintaining nationwide utility services in the event of earthquakes and tremors. Evidence from recent events in New Zealand and Japan will underline just how the flexibility of plastic pipe systems can withstand the shocks and how more rigid pipe materials are subject to failure under such conditions. Greening the desert from within may seem a fanciful idea. However, in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the countries that border the Sahara Desert desalination has become a work in practice. Various approaches are now being applied and results are both effective and innovative. One Continued on page 6

Bandit Announces 2600 And 2700 Towable Stump Grinders
For stump grinding professionals who prefer the simplicity of towable stump grinders but are tired of constant belt adjustments and maintenance, Bandit Industries presents the Model 2600 and Model 2700 towable stump grinders. These machines combine aggressive horsepower in compact, lightweight designs that makes stump grinding as easy as driving to the jobsite. Available with numerous options and reliable, beltless hydrostatic drive, the Model 2600 and Model 2700 each are exceptional perform-
ers for rental companies, municipalities, and stump grinding professionals. “The Model 2600 and Model 2700 towable stump grinders are very easy to tow, and their simplicity is still very popular with many of our customers,” said Christopher Smith, Marketing and Communications Director for Bandit Industries. “The wide swing arc and adjustable tongues really help these machines to grind even large stumps without needing to reposition the whole unit, and the hydrostatic drive is definitely a big plus when it comes to lowering maintenance costs.” With hydrostatic directdrive there are no belts, jackshafts, bearings or associated parts to maintain, making the operation and maintenance of these machines extremely simple. Power application with hydrostatic direct-drive is typically much smoother than traditional belt driven stump grinders, making
the Model 2600 and Model 2700 a breeze to operate from swing-out control panels or optional radio remotes. The Model 2600 features a 61-horsepower diesel engine, and the Model 2700 features a 97- or 115-horsepower diesel engine. Both machines ride on a rugged Torflex axle and go after stumps with swing arcs greater than five feet. Both come standard with the Revolution cutter wheel, and both feature telescoping tongues to help fine-tune their position at the stump. Bandit Industries is a global manufacturer of wood processing machinery, ranging from industrial-grade hand-fed and whole tree wood chippers, horizontal grinders, stump grinders, forestry mowers and other specialty processing equipment. All equipment is manufactured by specialized teams at the company’s headquarters near Mount Pleasant, Michigan. To learn more about the Model 2600 or Model 2700 towable stump grinders, visit www.banditchippers. com or call 1-800-9520178. b

Built Green Canada Launches Challenge Coinciding with National Environment Week, Built Green Canada issued a challenge to municipalities across the country to encourage green building as part of their sustainability building policies. Municipalities incenting sustainable building with a program like BUILT GREEN reduce the load on civic infrastructure such as water, electrical, waste, and so forth. These savings can offset a rebate or incentive and may provide a competitive edge from one municipality to another. Moreover, incentives may encourage builders to develop in a particular community and with more builders in a community, revenue for permits and ongoing property taxes increases. Built Green Canada recognizes municipalities may not be able to favour one green building program over another and, therefore, encourages municipalities to include BUILT
GREEN programs as an option to endorse. The collective efforts of government, builders, developers, homeowners, and others focused on sustainable residential construction make a difference to environmental conservation, and ultimately leave more for future generations. This year’s National Environment Week theme, “Strengthening Our Environment Today for Tomorrow,” and the Government of Canada’s action to preserve and enhance the natural environment through science, such as maintaining air and water quality, is well suited to Built Green Canada. “While energy efficiency is a fundamental component of our programs, integrating the EnerGuide label through Natural Resources Canada, we go beyond energy efficiency, moving the industry toward a more holistic approach to sustainable building practices,” said
Page 7
Jenifer Christenson, Built Green Canada Executive Director. It’s an approach that includes the preservation of natural resources, reduction of pollution, ventilation and air quality, and the improvement of home durability. The call out began in Edmonton, where Built Green Canada’s head office is located. It’s also where Mayor Don Iveson has a long-term view to the environment and has been a strong proponent of the city’s “The Way We Green: Environmental Strategic Plan,” a plan that has won provincial and federal awards and has led to the development of green communities such as Oxford, a demonstration of the City of Edmonton’s commitment to sustainable design and environmental building practices. “We work with a number of progressively minded municipalities, builders, and service providers across the country focused on a sustainable future,” said Christenson. “We want to recognize those committed to building greener and intend that other municipalities make the same proclamation in the years ahead.” b

Hyundai’s New R140/180/210W9A Wheeled Excavators Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas, Inc., a leading earth moving and material handling equipment manufacturer, is pleased to announce the addition of three new wheeled excavator models, the R140W-9A, R180W9A and the R210W-9A, to their 9A series product line. These machines will provide operators with enhanced features and benefits compared to prior models including a certified Tier 4 Interim engine upgrade, improved hydraulics, increased operator comfort and added durability. The R140/180/210W-9A models are mid-size excavators providing plenty of power and mobility to get the job done and are ideal for excavating projects, road and utility work and demolition. Hyundai has powered each of these 9A wheeled excavators with low emission, low noise, Cummins QSB6.7 Interim Tier 4/ Stage IIIB engines. Electronically controlled fuel
injection and diagnostic capabilities add to the engines’ efficiency and serviceability. Other innovations such as the variable speed fan clutch, two-stage auto decel system and the economy mode help to conserve fuel and reduce environmental impact. Plus, operators can choose between three unique engine modes — Power, Standard and Economy — which enable the machine to switch between full power and reduced fuel consumption according to the user’s preference. To achieve optimum precision, Hyundai redesigned the hydraulic system on each of these models to provide the operator with super fine touch and controllability. Improved pump flow control minimizes fuel consumption and improved spool valves are engineered to provide more precise flow to each function with less effort. Enhanced hydraulic valves, precision-designed variable volume piston pumps, fine-
August 2014 touch pilot controls and enhanced travel functions make for smooth and easy operation. Boom-down flow regeneration and control valve technology are also newly improved. An auto boom-swing priority feature automatically and continuously looks for the ideal hydraulic flow balance for the boom and swing motions of the machine to maximize performance and productivity. In addition to power and efficiency, the R140/180/210W-9A wheeled excavators feature a new and improved travel system. An auto cruise control system reduces operator fatigue by maintaining a fixed speed when driving distances. A new auto ram lock system is available to improve operating safety by locking or releasing the ram cylinder according to the operating mode. An optional forward/reverse travel pedal control allows operators the choice of using the travel pedal control while in work mode or the lever while in control mode. A new creep speed travel system is also provided to improve manoeuvrability and fine control. Continued on page 9

Hyundai has improved the structure strength of the 9A series cabs with stronger but slimmer tubing for optimum safety. Low stress, high strength steel forms a more durable upper and lower frame. Structural integrity of these three models was tested by way of FEM (Finite Elements Method) analysis and long term durability tests. An optional ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) cab can be equipped to further enhance operator safety. The enlarged cabs on the R140/180/210W-9A models provide excellent visibility. The newly designed cabs were conceived for more space, enhanced operator comfort and a wider field view. Special attention was given to a clear, open and convenient interior with plenty of visibility on the machine
surroundings and the job at hand. This well-balanced combination of precision aspects put the operator in the perfect position to work safety and securely. In addition to enhanced safety and visibility, operators will enjoy being able to fully customize the cab of the R140/180/210W-9A excavators to best fit their needs. Operators can easily adjust the seat, console and armrest settings to the desired comfort level. Hyundai has integrated the seat with the console to reduce operator fatigue and adjustable air suspension comes standard. New joystick consoles are adjustable in height by pushing a single button. Hyundai’s engineers made sure that the 9A cabs include many amenities that decrease stress and increase comfort. Some of these features and benefits include heated seats, ad-

Demo To Development After more than a decade of thoughtful planning, a 138-year-old health care legacy comes to an end with the demolition of South Street Hospital in London, Ontario. By Mark Wolfe
T
he demo is part of the largest hospital restructuring project in the city’s history, and is one of the largest demo projects currently underway. Demolition work began in early 2014, and is expected to be completed by January 2015. The demolition contract is valued at $9.2 million, and is jointly funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, London Health Sciences Centre, and the City of London. The hospital has engaged a number of companies to oversee the
work, with ProGreen Demolition Ltd. taking the lead on demolishing the site. The municipality still owns much of the land, and the remaining acreage owned by the hospital will be transferred back to the city after the decommissioning is complete. “We want to be respectful of the neighbourhood, and leave the site as it was given to us,” says Dipesh Patel, Vice President of Facilities Management at London Health Sciences
Centre. “It’s going to look like park land when we turn it over to the city.” No decisions have been made regarding the ultimate use of the site once demolition is complete. However, early municipal redevelopment plans include a mix of residential and commercial buildings on the attractive piece of land situated next to the Thames River. The demolition includes the destruction of a ninestorey building, underground tunnels, and the Continued on page 11

plosions, or wrecking balls used at any time. Trucks are employed to haul the material off site, and are restricted to pre-defined routes. This strategy will minimize disturbances and dust for the residents who live near the project.

Trees Ontario’s Annual Community Planting Weekend On May 3rd, Trees Ontario, along with volunteers, community members and planting partners, dug, stomped and planted thousands of seedlings in nine separate communities across Ontario during a series of half-day tree planting events. Now in its sixth year, the annual Community Planting Weekend was hosted by Trees Ontario and supporters CAA South Central Ontario, CAA North & East Ontario, Enbridge Gas Distribution, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Ontario Wood. In total, the day drew together more than 1,000 attendees and resulted in a total of nearly 5,000 new, native trees planted! Planting sites included London, Windsor, Ottawa, Niagara, Midhurst, Kingston, Kitchener/Waterloo, Peterborough and York Region. “The tree planting events were not only a fun way to spend the day with family and friends, but were also a great way to create a local legacy and a greener tomorrow which will benefit current and future generations. CAA South Central Ontario is proud to have sponsored the events and is committed to giving back to the communities in which our members live and work,” said Cindy Hillaby, VP Membership & Automotive Services, CAA SCO. Increasing large-scale planting across Ontario is part of Trees Ontario’s mandate. The benefits of trees in rural and urban spaces are crucial not only to our ecosystem, but also to human health. Trees clean our air, improve local water supplies, establish wildlife habitat and provide a buffer against the effects of climate change. “Trees enhance the vi-
tality of our communities and what better way to showcase this than to directly involve families and youth through environmentally engaging activities such as this,” said Rob Keen, RPF, Trees Ontario CEO. “It’s been wonderful seeing stewards of all ages join Trees Ontario, along with its partners, in taking such an active lead in ensuring a greener future for everyone.” “Enbridge Gas Distribution is proud to support organizations like Trees Ontario that help build healthy, vibrant and sustainable communities,” said Kerry LakatosHayward, Director of Customer Care, Enbridge Gas Distribution. “In addition to the trees planted today, we’re proud to be working with Trees Ontario to plant 50,000 trees in the community this spring to thank our customers who have signed up for paperless billing.” Trees Ontario and its partners commend the contribution of all the families and community groups involved in this year’s planting activities. A special thank you also goes out to our planting event partners: CAA South Central Ontario, CAA North & East Ontario, Enbridge Gas Distribution, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, Ontario Wood, Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, Friends of Lemoine Point, Grand River Conservation Authority, Peterborough Green Up, City of Windsor, Essex Region Conservation Authority, The County of Simcoe, Niagara Parks Commission, Regional Municipality of York, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. b

CASE 885B AWD Motor Grader Proves Its Mettle In Big Sky Country As Road Supervisor for Toole County, Mont., Lloyd Omdahl understands the importance of power and versatility in his equipment. With nearly 2,000 square miles of land— about the size of Delaware—and just over 5,200 residents, it’s a county that needs to make the most of its equipment purchases. When the county needed a new Motor Grader last year, Omdahl decided to give the CASE 885B AWD (all-wheel drive) a try. “It was the middle of winter,” Omdahl recalls. “We were impressed with
our initial test, so the first day we had the machine we put it on a road job with our other three machines and it outworked every grader we had out there.” The geography of the county often requires the road crew to come up with creative ways to get the job done with the equipment on hand. Currently, Toole County is using their CASE motor grader for grading and rebuilding roads, ditching, snow removal, bulldozing and more. The all-wheel drive design helps improve tractive performance, steering and side
draft control in challenging conditions, including snow, mud and sand. “You name it,” Ohmdahl said. “We’ve used it for just about everything we do.” On a recent project, the county needed to build a road across alkali flats. “We brought out these boulders that were about three feet in diameter and we used its dozer blade to push them into the flats so we could build a road across it. Then, since we didn’t have the crawler along to push the scraper, we just used the motor grader to push it
and it turned out great.” Omdahl said he was particularly impressed with the power of the machine and the productivity he was able to achieve. “The power to weight ratio and gearing is great,” Omdahl said, “and that translates to more productivity. Head to head, it moves more dirt than our other graders. It just buries our other machines.” One of the reasons the 885B AWD was able to exceed Omdahl’s expectations is the redesigned multiradius involute moldboard, which cuts, mixes and rolls material more efficiently than a constant-radius unit. “The new moldboard design has a sharper angle on the bottom instead of the same radius throughout,” Omdahl noted, “and that really cuts the dirt, pulls it up and rolls it much faster than we’re used to.” In addition to significant increases in productivity, the improved cutting and turning power of the moldboard design also provides Omdahl with better fuel efficiency. Additional features that Omdahl found useful are the front articulation and
all-wheel drive. He said the all-wheel drive is particularly useful for keeping the front-end stable in ditching jobs. The front articulation, he said, was a departure from the rear articulating machines he was used to, but that he quickly warmed
August 2014 up to its benefits. “The front articulation took a little getting used to,” he said, “but once we got used to it, we found that it gives us a better turn radius and when we’re ditching we use it quite a bit to offset the front end.” b

5-Star Power Shines At Hôtel Shediac With Sommers Generator System
The newest full service hotel with meeting rooms in south-east New Brunswick is shooting for the stars, and General Manager Michelle Boudreau is taking no chances on earning a 5-star rating for her facility. Thanks to a custombuilt standby generator, Hôtel Shediac is now the only full service hotel that can offer assured power to maintain its complete range of quality guest services through any power outage. “As a coastal town, we are well aware of the potential for power outages,” Boudreau says. “High winds and lightning strikes in the summer can black out the power for a fourblock area here. And this winter, we have seen ice storms take out the power, too.” Boudreau explains that the principal owners of the hotel also own other properties in the region, and are accustomed to installing a standby generator to maintain essential powers. For their new hotel, though, they took the plans a step further. “Most hotels have backup power only for their property management system: for the computers that manage hotel finances, reservations, and such. But we wanted standby power to maintain 100% service capability.”
an active role in advising on the type of system and features the hotel would require to maintain their own service standard. As Boudreau recalls, “Pierre educated us on what the generator could do and made the purchase trouble-free. On the construction side, we had to ramp up with a new project manager halfway through the project. However, working with Pierre, all the answers to our questions were always the same; much simpler than with some of our past suppliers!” Along with the power profile and control systems, sound attenuation was a key factor in specifying the Sommers system.
