Generators Keep Critical Services Running Throughout Hurricane

Diesel generators kept the lights and essential power on during Hurricane Sandy.

Photo courtesy NOAA. As communities throughout the East Coast and MidAtlantic continue to deal with the devastating winds and flooding from Hurricane Sandy, diesel-powered emergency backup generators are working to provide power to hospitals, nuclear power plants, emergency response centers, and other critical facilities.

“The devastation from Hurricane Sandy has been unprecedented in many areas of the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic region,” said Allen Schaeffer, the Executive Director of the Diesel

Technology Forum. “A vital asset in the recovery mission continues to be the emergency power provided from diesel-powered backup generators.

“Emergency management officials and local leaders from impacted areas are reporting how their diesel generators are providing emergency power for hospitals, nuclear power plants, emergency shelters, and 911 response centers. With their selfcontained fuel supply, rapid response time, and strength in electrical load-

carrying capacity, diesel generators are the technology of choice for emergency back-up power.

“What we are learning today is how diesel generators kept the lights and essential power on during the storm, as well as continuing to provide vital electrical power to the region by helping power data centers, cell towers, hotels, individual businesses, and aiding the restoration of the financial district and even the New York Stock Exchange.

“Diesel-powered gener-

ators can and do save lives during a weather or power crisis,” Schaeffer said.

Proper Placement and Siting of Generators Is Important This “storm of the century” also clearly demonstrates the importance of proper placement and siting of where the back-up generator units are located - in safe and secure areas above floodplains or stormsurge zones, above and away from threats of underground flooding.

“From hospitals to water treatment facilities or airport control towers, every second counts when the power fails,” Schaeffer said. “Fortunately, within 10 seconds of a power failure, diesel-powered backup generators go to work. That’s why diesel is a silent yet reliable partner in virtually every hospital across the country. No other energy source provides full-strength backup power within seconds of a failure by the primary electricity grid.

“Diesel power is also being deployed around the region today powering massive portable water pumps to evacuate flooding in subway systems, apart-

ment buildings and key underground infrastructure. Pumping systems, both portable and fixed, with diesel back-ups are in place in thousands of cities throughout the country to prevent flooding, and to keep drinking water treatment systems providing safe drinking water when the electrical power goes out.

Emergency Responders Rely on Diesel Power for Ambulances and Communications Systems “Emergency responders – fire and rescue units – rely primarily on diesel power for their response apparatus, ambulances and for powering their emergency communication systems. Because of its unique combination of power, performance, reliability and availability, no other technology or fuel can meet the full range of needs in responding to national weather emergencies.

“Back up emergency diesel generators are the technology of choice and are in place at America’s airports and critical telecommunication centers.

With a self-contained fuel supply, these dieselpowered units aren’t vulnerable to utility service interruptions such as the emergency shut-off of natural gas pipelines that are common safety procedures in natural disasters.

“Airport Radar and telecommunications systems have their own back-up power systems and the majority depends on diesel emergency generators to maintain passenger safety and security during stormrelated power interruptions of a few seconds or a few days,” Schaeffer said.

Diesel-powered generators have proven to be the most reliable, durable, and economical source of emergency power. In almost all instances, diesel generators are the only source of power generation that meets federal and state requirements of 10-second start-up and electrical loadcarrying capacity. Diesel powered units are typically much larger than the portable gasoline powered generators available at local home supply stores.

Tips and Advice for Diesel Generator Use To help businesses and cities protect critical facilities during a power outage, the Diesel Technology Forum has outlined sev-

January 2013 eral ways to ensure backup power in a crisis: Assess the risk Identifying your facility’s critical loads is an important first step. Assign a cost to the risks associated with utility power interruptions, production losses and downtime. Frequent outages of a few seconds, a few minutes or more can often disrupt production lines and have significant cost implications to businesses. While other backup electrical supply alternatives may exist, they can often take longer to engage and have shorter supply capabilities, have higher costs, lower reliability or no reasonable refueling options during an event.

Determine Needs, Properly permit, locate and Install a standby generator Work with qualified diesel engine and equipment and generator dealers to properly spec, locate and install a unit. Be sure that the units are properly sized to handle vital loads and installed by certified electricians and power experts and in accordance with all state and local fire and environmental operating codes.

Have sufficient fuel storage Diesel fuel’s energy density and the engine’s high efficiency allow for smaller fuel storage facilities compared to other fuels, which provides a cost savings to owners. Still, it is important to make sure that you have sufficient fuel storage capacity on-site for an extended outage of several days, and contingencies for refueling during a serious weather or other event in the event of extended outages.

Assure Proper Use, Readiness and Maintenance As required by electrical and safety codes, standby generators should be “exercised” periodically (typically on a weekly basis) to ensure they will operate as designed in the event of an emergency. Proper maintenance and servicing are key to reliability.

Contract rental power If installing your own standby generation is not feasible for your business, you might consider contracting with a reliable firm to reserve rental generator power for use in the event of an extended outage. b

Bombardier To Supply Skytrain Cars The B.C. government and TransLink have signed a contract with Bombardier Transportation to supply 28 SkyTrain cars for the new Evergreen Line as well as the existing Expo and Millennium Lines.

The B.C. government and TransLink worked together to procure the cars, which will be operated by TransLink once construction of the Evergreen Line is complete. The cost of the cars is $90.7 million.

Construction cost for the Evergreen Line is estimated to be $1.4 billion.

Funding is being provided by the government of B.C., the Government of Canada and TransLink.

The B.C. government is contributing $583 million and will also oversee construction. The Government of Canada is contributing up to $417 million. TransLink is contributing $400 million and will operate the Evergreen Line when it is complete.

The Evergreen Line will link Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam with an 11-kilometre advanced light rapid transit

line between Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby and Douglas College in Coquitlam.

The project will fully integrate into the existing SkyTrain system, linking directly to the Millennium Line, with connections to the Expo Line, Canada Line, the West Coast Express and regional bus networks.

Bombardier was selected to supply the cars after successfully responding to a Request for Expressions of Interest in February 2012.

SNC-Lavalin Inc. has been selected as the preferred proponent to work with the B.C. government to finalize the agreement to design, build and finance the Evergreen Line project. b

Renewal Of Highway 75 Through Morris Completed The Honourable Greg Selinger, Premier of Manitoba, and the Honourable Vic Toews, Minister of Public Safety and Member of Parliament for Provencher, recently announced the completion of work to upgrade Highway 75 through the Town of Morris, including intersection improvements, new lighting and sidewalks as well as enhanced drainage.

“Manitoba families, businesses and agricultural producers count on our roads and highways to get around and to do business,” said Premier Selinger. “The upgrades to Highway 75 will keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely along one of our busiest routes. Infrastructure renewal is a priority for Manitobans and this project is part of our commitment to keep improving roads across the province.”

“Our government is proud to invest in Highway 75, making this

route safer and faster for local commuters and also reducing traffic congestion for farmers and commercial truckers,” said Minister Toews on behalf of the Honourable Steven Fletcher, Minister of State (Transport).

“Our investment has created good paying jobs in our community and strengthened the local economy of our region.

Our government will continue to support local communities and focus on growth and prosperity across the country, including here in Manitoba.”

The work on Highway 75 through the Town of Morris began in 2011 with the reconstruction of southbound lanes, followed by northbound lanes this year.

The highway rehabilitation work is part of a major, multi-year initiative to upgrade Highway 75 from Ste. Agathe to Letellier. The total cost of the broader Highway

75 Reconstruction and Rehabilitation project is $90.2 million. The Government of Canada is contributing up to $42.5 million with the Province of Manitoba providing the balance of funding.

The federal investment comes from the Gateways and Border Crossings Fund, a $2.1-billion fund that supports projects that improve the flow of goods and trade, and support economic growth.

In addition to the federally cost-shared Highway 75 Reconstruction and Rehabilitation project, the Manitoba Government funded a $1.4 million project to improve southbound lanes on Highway 75, on the Manitoba side of the Emerson international border crossing. The project involved the construction of a dedicated, southbound commercial truck lane and the addition of traffic signals and new lighting. These upgrades will improve traffic flows, especially for commercial trucks but also for cars, when lining up at U.S. Customs and Border Protection. b

Shipbuilding industry ready For decade of Growth The recent release of the results from the B.C. Shipbuilding and Repair Workforce Table help government and industry align their skills and training investments to capitalize on what will be a decade of growth in the shipbuilding and repair sector.

The analysis provides a complete picture of both the demand for, and supply of, jobs in the shipbuilding and repair industry. Sector employers, fleet owners, unions, industry associations, trades and training associations, and the B.C. government contributed to the labour market research. The result is a full accounting of the human resources and skills needs in an industry expected to generate $10 billion for the provincial economy by 2020.

For the first time, the shipbuilding and repair sector has established a baseline for current em-

ployment at 4,627 jobs.

This includes direct employment in the sector, as well as employment in the metal plate and fabrication sector, which predominately serves the shipbuilding industry.

Projected employment in both sectors is 6,883 direct and indirect jobs by 2016 and 7,605 by 2020.

To support the sector, government has already invested $550,000 to develop training programs for the Industrial Marine Training and Applied Research Centre in Esquimalt, which is operated by the Resource Training Organization.

The new industry-led, marine-training centre will strive to support workforce renewal in the industry through training and education. It will also be a focal point for applied research to increase productivity and improve processes in the sector so that industry

can meet the increasing level of business activity.

Government has also created new tax credits for eligible employers who employ apprentices in the shipbuilding and ship repair industry. Eligible industry employers can receive a refundable tax credit of 20 per cent of wages paid per year – up to $5,250 per eligible apprentice – in the first 24 months of an eligible apprenticeship program.

Shipbuilding and ship repair industry employer tax credits are also enhanced by 50 per cent for apprentices who are First Nations individuals or persons with disabilities.

Government will continue to support the sector through a new B.C. Shipbuilding and Repair Board that has been formed to lead, coordinate, and integrate cross-industry workforce development, technology and process development, and industry development projects.

Funding for the workforce table is provided through the CanadaBritish Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement. b

AC16: Tigercat develops Articulating loader Carrier Observing a void in the marketplace as equipment manufacturers have for the most part stopped producing and supporting steering axle equipped self-propelled loaders for mill yard applications, Tigercat has stepped up with the newly designed AC16 articulating carrier.

The AC16 can be mated to a Tigercat 234 or 250 series knuckleboom loader.

The prototype unit was purchased by Verso Paper Corp and is operating in a wood yard in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Verso produces high quality coated papers and specialty products with operations in Maine and Michigan.

Yard supervisor Kent Burden explains that Verso bought the AC16 carrier along with the 250C loader to replace Tanguay and Prentice self-propelled loaders with front axle steering. “They are extremely expensive and parts are becoming dif-

ficult to find to keep the machines in service,” says Kent.

Operator Arthur Watson says that at first they considered the AC16 carrier a compromise due to a general perception that articulating carriers are less stable when driving over uneven ground.

Wood yards can get messy in wet weather and they are not always flat, even at the best of times. Dips and small hills are magnified from the operating position of a raised cab, exaggerating the rocking effect.

After a couple of weeks of operation, Arthur is much more comfortable with the machine. He says it gets around the log yard pretty well. “And the access is good. I can reach all the grease fittings easily,” says Arthur.

“There is only one boom knuckle fitting that you need a ladder for. Visibility in the cab is good. The

boom is mounted further forward than the Prentice but that is just something different to get used to.”

Arthur has no complaints regarding boom power or performance.

The yard takes in long length pulpwood, slashes it and sends it to three different Verso facilities. The typical duty cycle is 25-30 loads per day, a combination of loading short wood and unloading tree-length logs. The other component of the duty cycle is slashing, which occurs on an as needed basis.

The AC16 is four-wheel drive and has powerful tractive effort for towing applications. The carrier is fabricated by Tigercat and uses standard components that are common to other Tigercat machines.

The axles, brakes and transmission are common to Tigercat drive-totree feller bunchers. An optional log bunk is also available. The loader can be separated from the carrier if required.

Go to the video archive at www.tigercat. com to see a video of the AC16 and 250C loader in action. b

There are 12 awards available through the CCA National Awards Program. In 2011, the CCA National Awards program recognized firms of various sizes, and individuals from construction firms across

QUALITY PRO

Canada.

The Excellence in Innovation Award was awarded to a concrete pumping firm in Edmonton, Alberta, whose unique pumping system is helping to divert significant concrete waste from landfill, while helping to keep construction sites clean throughout the process.

As well, the Environmental Achievement Award was awarded to Lafarge Western Canada, whose environmental awareness ensured their work at the Calgary International Airport would divert waste from landfill, while still providing a completed project built to specifications. The Safety Award once again recognized the important steps that firms are taking to ensure safe operations, recognizing Black & McDonald for their efforts, and the International Business Award recognized PCL for their work overseas and here in Canada.

The awards provide a great opportunity for any firm in Canada to help distinguish the positive work they are

doing in the Canadian construction industry.

“Winning the CCA’s Environmental Award brought Lafarge further pride and recognition for our sustainable construction focus.

Recycling and emission reduction opportunities exist on every project when a solution approach is embraced by project partners,” commented Bob Spence, VP Asphalt & Paving for Lafarge Western Canada.

“The CCA National Awards program reflects the broad and positive impact that the Canadian construction industry has, both in Canada and abroad,” Schubert added. “Our industry has made tremendous contributions across the country and around the world, and we are pleased to showcase those contributions through this annual awards program. I would encourage all eligible people and organizations to submit a nomination, and celebrate the positive efforts undertaken by our industry.”

The deadline for nominations to be received is December 7, 2012. More information about the awards and nomination criteria can be found online at http://www.cca-acc. com/en/about-cca/ awards. b

new report Highlights innovative Tree planting Techniques Trees Ontario recently released a progressive report that combines modern afforestation methods with decades of planting experience. Alternative Approaches to Afforestation pushes the boundaries of conventional tree planting models by offering comprehensive afforestation and reforestation methodologies which consider carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, soil protection, as well as sustainable use of raw materials in a balanced way.

Afforestation is the establishment of forests on open lands that have not been covered by forests for approximately 50 years. This practice has many benefits including soil stabilization, site rehabilitation, protection of riparian areas and the provision of wood products, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and flood control. Afforestation efforts also contribute significantly to carbon sequestration to meet obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.

“The rehabilitation work through afforestation techniques can, over time, initiate ecosystem restoration and recovery with respect to ecosystem health, integrity and sustainability,” said Al Corlett,

Trees Ontario’s Program Manager and one of the report’s contributing authors.

“When used together with current planting methods, these techniques can promote greater biodiversity, help reduce the impacts of invasive insects and disease infestations, and increase forest health.”

The Alternative Approaches to Afforestation, co-authored by Al Corlett, Paul Gagon, Tom Clark and Margaret Penner through the support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, was released during Trees Ontario’s Site Plan Development Course held in Milton, ON. This educational session is part of Trees Ontario’s Technical Workshop Series designed to enhance the technical expertise of forestry professionals in Ontario.

“Successful tree planting is a complex undertaking that requires close attention to a myriad of factors, including tree seed forecasting and collection, project planning, site and soil assessment, nursery stock production, tending and assessment operations, as well as technical education,” said Robert Keen, RPF, Trees Ontario’s CEO. “Trees Ontario’s latest report will ensure that best practices, including the

January 2013 application of conventional and alternative afforestation methods, are implemented into the multi-layered tree planting infrastructure in order to enhance sector capacity and expertise.”

Paul Gagnon, Lands & Waters Supervisor at the Long Point Region Conservation Authority, has taken part in an alternative afforestation project with the support of Trees Ontario and was also in attendance during the launch of the report. “For successful restoration efforts, innovative methods should be considered in combination with traditional techniques,” Gagnon noted. “Several key alternative techniques, with a greater focus on ecological restoration, include planting of a wide variety of native tree species on a single site, planting trees in groups instead of rows, and using native plants to control weeds.”

In today’s current economic climate, it is critical for tree planting agencies to prioritize efforts and focus on areas where forest restoration will have the greatest ecological impact.

Trees Ontario’s latest report provides Ontario’s afforestation experts with unique restoration-based field procedures that can be integrated into various planting programs across the province with an innovative focus on biodiversity and enhanced resilience to climate change. b

Solopower opens Facility in oregon SoloPower, the San Jose, California-based leader in high efficiency, lightweight, and flexible thin-film solar cells and modules, recently announced the grand opening in Portland, Oregon of its high-volume manufacturing (HVM) facility. The event marked a significant milestone in the company’s plan to make solar energy the primary source of power for commercial and industrial buildings worldwide, and in its ability to meet demand for its unique solutions. SoloPower was joined at the ceremony by Portland Mayor Sam Adams who toured the stateof-the-art manufacturing floor with local and state elected officials, company executives and customers.

“Oregon’s manufacturers are playing a key role as we add jobs back to Oregon,” said Governor Kitzhaber. “With the opening of this high-volume

manufacturing facility, we mark a significant milestone for SoloPower and for advanced manufacturing in Oregon.”

“Portland benefits when we help maximize the global competitiveness of local businesses. SoloPower is creating living-wage jobs in a vital sector of our economy, a sector that is helping to establish Portland as one of the most sustainable economies in the world,” said Mayor Adams.

SoloPower’s lightweight, flexible SoloPanels and proprietary installation systems revolutionize the rooftop solar integration process, making solar energy easy and cost effective for nearly any commercial and industrial building.

The company’s suite of solar solutions optimizes energy performance on a variety of roofs in a range of climates with diverse sun exposure conditions. Nonpenetrating installation

systems make it simple to remove and reinstall SoloPower’s solutions, enabling installation on older roofs not yet due for a reroof and substantially expanding the market beyond new and reroof applications. Due to their very low profile on rooftops, SoloPower’s solutions provide an unparalleled ability to withstand wind, opening additional segments that could not utilize solar energy in the past, particularly in areas susceptible to storms, such as Japan.

“The opening of SoloPower’s state-of-the-art HVM facility in Portland increases our capacity to meet the energy demands of the world’s commercial and industrial buildings, which consume 40% of global electricity,” said Tim Harris, CEO, SoloPower. “We and our customers are very excited: it’s a huge market, our unique solutions expand that market, and now we have the ability to serve our customers who are looking for an easy-toinstall, predictable, and cost-effective solution for their energy needs, no matter their continent.” b

latest Training program From Trees ontario Trees Ontario has announced the launch of a new training program to address a severe knowledge-transfer gap threatening Ontario’s afforestation sector. Thanks to a $112,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Government of Ontario, and support from RBC Foundation, Trees Ontario will work collaboratively on the Program for Local Afforestation Network Training (PLANT), an innovative mentorship-based training model aimed at students in post-secondary forestry programs.

“Restoration and conservation of our natural ecosystems through tree planting efforts are important strategies for enhancing biodiversity and reducing the impact and severity of climate change,” said the Hon. Michael Gravelle, MPP and Minister of Natural Resources. “PLANT, the training program initiated by Trees Ontario, will ensure that the province has an accessible supply of knowledgeable and skilled professionals to accommodate Ontario’s afforestation needs.”

Due to the retirement of experienced forestry professionals and the lack of knowledge transfer strategies, Ontario is at risk of losing decades’ worth of forestry knowledge. As well, the current forestry curriculum offered by Ontario’s Colleges needs to be augmented with focused, supplemental training that’s specific to southern Ontario’s environment.

Trees Ontario will work col-

laboratively on PLANT with Conservation Ontario, Stewardship Councils, Forest Gene Conservation Association and Sir Sandford Fleming College, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Conservation Halton.

“The delivery of largescale tree planting is a complex undertaking that is heavily dependent on the availability of and access to a strong network of professionals who possess the required knowledge and technical capacity,” said Rob Keen, Trees Ontario’s Chief Executive Officer and a Registered Professional Forester.

With Ontario’s forests under constant pressure due to population growth, urban sprawl and environmental degradation, enhancing the province’s tree planting infrastructure is timely and critical. Without adequate succession planning, the pending retirement of Ontario’s forestry professionals will impact future planting initiatives, and ultimately the health and integrity of local ecosystems and communities.

Don Pearson, Conservation Ontario’s General Manager, further emphasized the significance of this hands-on bridging program. “Skilled planters, seed forecasters, nursery staff, and skilled forestry practitioners are all necessary to sustain effective and efficiently managed tree planting efforts across Ontario,” he noted. “PLANT will expose aspiring professionals to all facets of the industry, leading to more experienced graduates with

January 2013 higher technical aptitude.”

With the PLANT curriculum rolling out during the second half of the 20122013 academic year, Trees Ontario will work with graduating forestry students attending Sir Sandford Fleming College. Students will be provided with in-class technical training facilitated by Trees Ontario’s seasoned advisors and experts. A select group of students will also rotate through a series of mentoring opportunities and training placements with Trees Ontario’s professional planting partners.

“We are particularly pleased to collaborate with Trees Ontario on this proactive initiative,” said Gerald Guenkel, Forestry Program Coordinator, Sir Sandford Fleming College.

“This unique program will serve as a complementary curriculum to current inclass modules which will prepare our students with the technical training required to successfully enter the workforce and become Ontario’s future forest restoration leaders.”

With support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, RBC Foundation and its planting partners, Trees Ontario’s PLANT will play a major role in bridging the existing knowledge gap in order to establish larger and more contiguous forests through afforestation efforts across Ontario’s settled landscape. Connecting forest corridors and increasing forest cover will not only enhance Ontario’s resilience to climate change and protect the province’s rich biodiversity, but will also improve the health of all Ontarians and create sustainable economic opportunities for future generations. b

AEm Hall of Fame Announces 2012 inductees The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) announced the 2012 inductees into the AEM Hall of Fame, which recognizes and celebrates outstanding individuals in the off-road equipment industry, and their legacy of innovation, service and leadership.

Their vision and hard work have been critical to advancing global economic and social prosperity; their legacy strengthens continued industry contributions to improving our quality of life, and serves as an inspiration for tomorrow’s leaders.

The 2012 inductees into the AEM Hall of Fame are: • John Deere (Deere & Company) • Pierre Bataille (Poclain) • Wood Brothers - Keith, Leonard and Mervel (Woods Equipment Company) AEM Hall of Fame inductees have been evaluated by an independent panel of industry experts on five criteria that are vital to the health of the off-road equipment manufacturing industry: (1) innovation, (2) industry contributions, (3) leadership, (4) corporate citizenship/social responsibility and (5) sustainability.

For more information on the AEM Hall of Fame and all its inductees, go online to the AEM Hall of Fame section of the AEM website - www.aem.org/ HallofFame.

About the 2012 Hall of Fame inductees Below are summaries for each of the 2012 honourees with some of the reasons they were selected for induction.

John Deere (Deere & Company) John Deere was a leader in his day in vision, innovation, and improving the quality of life for his fellow citizens. The company marks its 175th anniversary in 2012, recognizing the significant influence Deere has had for almost two centuries in equipment manufacturing – an impact the Illinois blacksmith could not have imagined when he was first compelled to create tools that have evolved into machinery that helps build and feed the world.

“John Deere” has been synonymous with equipment almost since John Deere moved from New England to Grand Detour, Ill., where his skills as a blacksmith were immediately in demand. Deere ultimately took his business

to Moline, Ill., which had access to better transportation routes and essential energy sources.

If Deere could have seen the future in 1837 when he created his innovative self-scouring plow for Midwestern farmers, he would have been amazed and proud to see that his namesake company would become a world leader in machinery manufacturing.

Deere built a global company on the core values of integrity, quality, commitment and innovation - one that produces machinery with a myriad of applications in agriculture, construction, forestry and turf care. John Deere made an everlasting mark and earned his place in the AEM Hall of Fame through the development of equipment manufacturing to its status today as a key contributor to our economic well-being and quality of life.

Pierre Bataille (Poclain) Pierre Bataille was an industry innovator and a responsible leader, contributing to economic development in France while improving quality of life for his workforce and the industry.

The technology he helped develop, high pressure hydraulics, played a part in the huge increase in productivity for agricultural works, handling operations and earthmoving.

He was a pioneer in development of the hydraulic excavator. He was the instigator to use production assembly lines for excavators in the early 1960s, increasing production and reliability; his concept of the swing drive and boom remain a standard today.

A leader in social responsibility, Bataille offered interest-free loans to his employees, a majority of whom were former farmers living in poor conditions who then more easily became homeowners. He developed a technical training center to provide workers and excavator operators with job training. Bataille established one of the first staffed company cafeterias for his employees and a network of buses to safely transport them to and from work; while not a widespread practice in the 1960s, Bataille instituted noise-reduction measures in the plant and

on excavators.

Bataille’s civic service included leadership of French standardization and business development organizations, and he also served as president of the Committee for European Construction Equipment.

In 1990, Bataille was awarded the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honor by the French government in recognition of his entrepreneurial leadership.

Wood Brothers – Keith, Leonard and Mervel (Woods Equipment Company) Keith, Leonard and Mervel Wood were problem solvers, risk takers and entrepreneurs who used these skills to fuel their drive for inventing and manufacturing. As pioneers in the development of rotary cutters and mowers, the Wood brothers helped create a prevalent product category for the short line industry.

One invention that dramatically affected the agricultural industry is the company’s iconic Batwing rotary cutter, known generically as the flex-wing rotary cutter, first shipped in 1963. Other key inventions include the patented single V-belt drive system, used on virtually all residential and commercial mowers in use today, and the single attachment pin blade retention system, a design still used on most Woods cutters today.

The brothers sought to adapt their equipment to all types, sizes and models of tractors, including two adaptors that were predecessors of today’s standard 3-point hitch.

In the 1970s, the Wood brothers elevated product support to a new level, ensuring sales and service were available across the country in the days before overnight delivery.

Starting the company after World War II in Oregon, Ill., the Wood brothers contributed greatly to job creation and development of skilled labor in the region, training thousands as welders, machinists, metal fabricators, painters, engineers and office personnel. Sustainability for the brothers was always about doing right, for example, metal scrap recycling (not widespread in the ‘40s and ‘50s).

Nominations for the next Hall of Fame will open in June 2013. b

CCA’s new Federal Skilled Trades program The Canadian Construction Association was pleased to hear the recent announcement that the new Federal Skilled Trades Program is being launched on January 2, 2013. This new program will build the foundation to address labour shortages in the Canadian construction industry, while supporting increased growth for the Canadian economy.

“The introduction of a dedicated and streamlined program for skilled trades addresses many of the shortcomings from the current Federal Skilled Worker Program,” said Michael Atkinson, President of the Canadian Construction Association. “The new program ensures greater consideration is given to the needs of industry when processing eligible immigration applications.”

The current Federal Skilled Worker Program is not well-oriented to the

of labour to fulfill industry needs. The Canadian Construction Association has long supported the need for a flexible immigration system as a means to address these labour shortages, and help support overall economic competitiveness.

The announcement is another example in a series of positive steps undertaken by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to build a more efficient immigration system; a system that meets the needs of not just the Canadian construction industry, but the needs of Canada as it relates to a healthy and vibrant Canadian economy.

“These new measures, together with earlier announced changes, including the move to an Expression of Interest system by 2014 for the immigration process, promise to make Canada’s permanent immigration system much more responsive to the needs of Canadian employers,” Atkinson continued. “We look forward to continuing to work with the Government of Canada as it builds a fast, flexible, and efficient immigration system to support the Canadian economy.” b

needs of trades and industry, placing significant emphasis on post-secondary education, and high proficiency levels in Canada’s official languages. Under the new program, the old 100-point system is being scrapped in favour of four basic criteria, which give much more weight to practical training, work experience, basic proficiency in English or French, and the level of demand for a specific trade.

Current projections from the Construction Sector Council indicate that the Canadian construction industry will need 320,000 new workers by 2020.

This, coupled with projected growth for the Canadian construction industry, is putting increased strain on industry.

While skilled training in Canada has remained very important, the domestic population growth will not provide an adequate supply

Sutton Services purchases The new QJ241 From Sandvik For the last 20 years, Glenn Sutton and Sutton Services Ltd have been providing a high quality demolition and dismantling service in East Anglia. Due to an increasing work load, and in order to improve efficiency, Glenn Sutton decided it was time for the company to upgrade their crusher.

East Anglia-based Sutton Services Ltd is a leading demolition contractor and general building dismantlers that have rapidly expanded in recent years.

This has been achieved by drawing on a wealth of experience in the demolition industry, but at the same time proudly minimizing environmental impact. Directors and staff possess a vast working knowledge of the industry and its ever evolving nature, with a key feature of their success being the emphasis placed on regular liaison with the relevant authorities. This has enabled the company to keep abreast of changes to working practices, thus aiding in implementation on site.

In order to ensure operational efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and compliance with changing regulations, Glenn Sutton, Managing Director of Sutton Services, realized that in the company’s 20th year a new crushing solution would be needed if they were to maintain competitive advantage. As Glenn explains, “When you are in business, you can’t sit back and rest on your laurels. Over the last 20 years we have developed a loyal and expanding customer base who expects the very best in service. Although I’ve tried to ensure that our equipment is the best out there, it was becoming obvious that we needed a more modern and compact crushing solution.”

With this need identified, Glenn sought out the best value machine on the market, and looked at various crushers from differing manufacturers before settling on the new QJ241 from Sandvik Construction. As Glenn continues – “The QJ241 is meant to be the best out there, and

my customers deserve the best.”

The QJ241 is Sandvik’s smallest mobile jaw crusher with dimensions suitable for low loader trailers, and weighing just over 34 tons, it lends itself perfectly to varied operations at construction sites.

The single-toggle crusher has a feed opening of 1000 x 650mm, facilitating production of up to 225 tons per hour depending on the material and the required final material size. In Sutton’s recycling operation, 120 to 150 tph may be achieved when producing a 0/70mm end product. Furthermore, the reversible jaw crusher accepts a maximum feed size of 500mm, and the fitment of a hydraulic wedge adjustment allows a CSS (closed side setting) range of 50 to 150 mm.

A major reason for Glenn Sutton’s decision to go with Sandvik is that the QJ241 has proved an ideal tool for efficient long-term use at construction sites, recycling facilities and small quarries.

One of its main assets in these operations is the extensive steel pipe work used in the hydraulics, which provides superior heat dissipation and a maintenance-free sealing solution. Additionally the displays, controls and service points are close to ground level, or easily accessible via platforms. The machine also possesses several practical features including a standard fitted hydraulically driven cooling fan, with auto reverse, to back-flush dust from the radiator or the central auto lube on the jaw. Furthermore, and depending on operator requirements, the crusher can be operated remotely by wireless control or via umbilical

January 2013 cord.

The use of a modern PLC system on the QJ241 controls both the level sensor at the crusher infeed, and the RPM of the main conveyor. The hydraulically driven feeder with Grizzly allows automatic control of the feed rate from the large hopper. Additional use of hydraulics sees a hydraulic raise and lower facility on the 800mm wide tail conveyor, which provides clearance for the overband magnet thereby guaranteeing smooth and continuous discharge.

A key feature of all Sandvik mobile crushers, and the QJ241 in particular, has been the minimization of operating costs.

This has been achieved via load-optimized control of the hydraulics, and the use of a modern 168-kW CAT C7.1 Acert engine that is compliant with EU Stage IIIb emissions. These developments have led to a significant decrease in fuel consumption even in high-capacity operations.

The benefits have already proved evident for Glenn Sutton as he states that after 150 hours of operation.

“Compared with previous crushers we have used, the QJ241 now achieves in all applications 25% more output and consumes 30% less fuel.”

Sutton Services and Glenn Sutton represent the new breed of demolition contractors who not only aim to complete projects to the highest standard possible, but also aim to do so by using the very latest equipment, thereby maximizing on site health and safety, whilst minimizing their environmental footprint.

The new Sandvik QJ241, the first in East Anglia, represents new standards of performance geared to both end-material quality and project profitability, and its purchase by Glenn Sutton marks the 20th year of Sutton Services Limited perfectly. b

Latest Emergency Lowering Device Now Available On Profi Ti Range The emergency lowering device recently introduced by J D Neuhaus for their EH range of air-operated hoists can now also be supplied as a standard feature on their Profi Ti line from 25 to 60 tons lift capacity.

Hoists incorporating the emergency lowering device option are equipped with a separate air tank, with two additional buttons also incorporated into the hand controllers. This air reservoir is automatically maintained at the full working air pressure during normal hoist operations. This ensures the availability of a positive emergency braking system when required, and the air tank is also protected by a check valve. Certification by Det Norske Veritas can also be provided on request, to comply with safety requirements involving applications for

offshore cranes as well as power driven hoists.

The device becomes operable in the event of a severe reduction or total loss of mains air pressure. It then provides practical two-handed operation to avoid unintentional lowering. One of the control button switches then selects between normal hoist operation and emergency lowering. The second control button opens the integrated operational brake to facilitate a controlled lowering of the suspended load under the action of its own dead weight. Where the Profi hoists are equipped with trolleys for lateral movements, the reservoir air tank can be mounted on the chain box container.

For static hoists, the reservoir can be mounted anywhere convenient within the surrounding working area.

The Profi Ti range of JDN products are suit-

able for all engineering applications throughout a wide range of industries including oil and gas exploration and processing, mining, shipbuilding, foundries, the chemical industry and heavy plant construction.

They are designed to comply with Ex operating ratings, suitable for working in hazardous areas or potentially explosive environments.

They are insensitive to humidity and dust laden atmospheres, and can operate at temperatures from -20°C to +70°C. Instant starting, minimum maintenance and low air consumption are their positive features, coupled with compact low-headroom design.

Other standard features include emergency shut-off valve together with both anti-climb and anti-drop devices.

Optional accessories include increased spark protection (and higher Ex rating), overload protection, rack and pinion trolley drive with two speed travel control and filter silencers. b
