The Alamo Area Academies Inc. board and the AlamoColleges board of trustees approved addressing the emergingdemand of heavy equipment technicians via a new academytrack slated to begin classes in August 2014. Holt CAT, ASCO, ROMCO, RDO, Zachry Construction,
Dean Word Co., Martin Marietta and other heavy equipmentdealers and construction businesses initiated a coalition withthe Alamo Academies to start the fifth Academy. The newtrack will provide a tuition-free college pathway for highschool juniors and seniors to attain industry and academiccertificates that lead to solid opportunities in the job marketand address critical workforce industry needs. The heavy equipment technician curriculum will provide
students with career exploration information, hands-onlearning experiences, job specific training, paid internshipsand college credit coursework designed to assist them inmaking an informed career decision and to prepare them forfuture employment.“One of the biggest problems for heavy equipment deal-
ers and their customers is a shortage of qualified technicians.This new track at Alamo Academies will help supply ourindustry with a steady stream of technicians equipped withthe skills required for entry level jobs at good wages and ben-efits,” said Peter John Holt, general service manager of HoltCAT.Holt CAT hosted a consortium of heavy equipment indus-
try businesses on Sept. 26, to discuss the new HeavyEquipment Academy and determine the new curriculum. From this meeting, the Consortium determined that two
Level I Certificates of Completion aligned to the diesel/con-struction equipment technology associate of applied sciencedegree would be appropriate and will aim to meet localindustry’s needs. Graduates will possess the college educa-tion credit and industry certificates, along with work experi-ence for the high tech skill sets required by the high-demandheavy equipment industry.“The success we have had in developing skilled employ-
ees for aerospace, manufacturing, IT and health will now beextended to a fifth academy to meet the demand for heavyequipment technicians. Area high school students now havea new option for college credit, internships and industry cer-tificates that will prepare them for good paying, high demandjobs,” said Jim Perschbach, chairman of the Alamo AreaAcademies board.The Alamo Area Academies is a national award winning
not-for-profit organization that uses innovative, STEM-based instructional models. Alamo Academies works in part-nership with the Alamo Colleges, San Antonio area highschools, industry and the cities of San Antonio, NewBraunfels and Seguin to provide area youth with tuition-freecareer pathways into critical demand technical STEM occu-pations. The program utilizes contextualized industry-driv-en curriculum resulting in 94 percent of graduates enteringhigher education or high-wage careers in aerospace, manu-facturing, information technology, health and now the heavyequipment industry starting in August 2014.

Technology Saves Time, Money for Oregon Mainline PavingMilling and repaving 19 mi.
(30.6 km) of I-84, Baldock Slough— South Baker Interchange sec-tion located in Baker City, Oregon,took 50 percent less worker hours,50 percent less machine time and50 percent less costs. “We chopped 50 percent off the
contract schedule,” said JimSwenson, licensed professionalland surveyor of Oregon MainlinePaving based in McMinnville,Ore. The Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) projecthad a $17.9 million contract valueand Oregon Mainline Paving wasthe general contractor on the proj-ect. The I-84 project involved twoeastbound and two westboundlanes. When completed, it is expected
to improve travel on a stretch thatwas originally part of the OregonTrail, which was the 2,000-mi.(3,219 km) historic east-westwagon route and emigrant trail thatconnected the Missouri River tovalleys in Oregon and locations inbetween.“The project was completed a
year ahead of the two-year sched-ule,” Swenson said. “We finishedthe project so quickly due to longhours of hard work and our use ofmachine control technology.”Despite its premature comple-
tion, the I-84, Baldock Slough —South Baker Interchange projectcame with challenges. “ODOT has implemented dif-
ferent surfaces for the fast and slowlanes on two-lane interstates,” saidSwenson. “The fast lane has anasphalt finished surface while theright-hand lane is concrete, plusthere are asphalt shoulder lanesflanking both lanes.”ODOT took the existing road
surface profile but didn’t mimicthat surface exactly. Instead ofgoing all the way down to sub-grade and building it back, it isrequiring Oregon Mainline Pavingto grind off the existing asphalt toestablish the bottom for the newroad surfaces. “In the concrete lane, we were
milling eight to 10 inches, and thenthere were some short bridge sec-tions where we actually went downa foot,” Swenson said. “For thefast lane surface we were millingtwo to four inches, the fast laneshoulder we milled zero to two
inches, and the slow lane shouldercalled for a three-inch grind. So,there were four different depths ofasphalt ground across the road sec-tion.” To handle this complex milling
project, Oregon Mainline Pavingpurchased a new Wirtgen W2100cold milling machine and thencontacted SITECH Oregon, locat-ed in Portland, for assistance inselecting the right Trimblemachine control system.“We’ve worked with Trimble
systems before, so we knew thequality of the systems and that thedealer could help,” said Swenson.“We outfitted the new Wirtgenwith Trimble 3D milling which isthe GCS900 Grade ControlSystem with a SPS930 UniversalTotal Station, so we could mill sur-faces at variable depth and slopewithout stringlines.”The technology on a mill
machine is designed to control thecutting depth of the mill to mini-mize over-cutting, create asmoother surface, and reduce theneed for additional asphalt or con-
crete material in the ensuing re-paving process.Oregon Mainline Paving
received a site model and designinformation from ODOT, whichSITECH Oregon converted forthem into a 3D model usingBusiness Center-HCE. BusinessCenter-HCE completed the datapreparation for the Trimblemachine control and site position-ing systems.“We were confident that the
Trimble technology would save usa year of production,” Swensonsaid. “When we met with theODOT officials at the beginning ofthe project, they said. ‘We werehoping someone would bring inmachine control but we’re lookingat your timetable, and there’s noway you’re going to get this donein a year’ and we said, ‘Yeah, weare.’”The ODOT officials’ response
was that they wanted all Stage Iwork completed by July 4th beforecommencing on Stage II work. Stage I was to construct
crossovers at the ends of the proj-
ects and the three interchanges thatcross the 100 ft. (30.5 m) wideearthen median. This placed traffictraveling both directions temporar-ily on the eastbound side. At theincline at the south end of the proj-ect an additional temporary pass-ing lane was constructed. Thecrossovers required stone embank-ment 2 ft. below the existingground with geotextile fabric underthe stone embankment. Thecrossovers were then brought tograde and paved. The earthworkwas performed using dozersequipped with dual-mast TrimbleGCS900 Grade Control Systemsand GPS RTK equipment. Stage Iwork started in March and wascompleted April 20. Stage II grinding of the east-
bound freeway began April 21 andwas completed May 18, exceptwhere the interchange traffic wascrossing the existing surface. Theinterchanges required that twocrossovers be constructed for eachon and off ramp, so the trafficcould be switched onto the pouredconcrete lane after it had cured.
Then, the blockout was ground andwhite paved. After the white paving was
complete the remainder of the east-bound side was paved, trafficswitched back to the Stage I con-figuration and the crossovers weretorn out and reconstructed toaccommodate traffic being on thewestbound freeway and crossingthe under-construction eastboundfreeway. This work had to be com-plete by the fourth of July. Oregon Mainline Paving began
grinding the eastbound freeway onJuly 6 and finished grinding theeastbound freeway on Aug. 9. The
company completed the9.5 mi. (15.3 km) in 24days of grinding. Pavedconcrete and asphalt wereplaced using Blaw Knox220 and 5510 pavers.Oregon Mainline Pavingeasily met the Sept. 30top-lift paving cutoff dateset by ODOT for the stateof Oregon. Other itemscompleted during thistime were the constructionof sleeper slabs and con-crete anchors, guardrail,barrier, striping and sign-ing.This was a non-typical
large scale ODOT project where acompletely different finished sur-face was accomplished by millingthe existing 14- to 16-in. (36 to 41cm) road surface, leaving enoughexisting asphalt to be the top of the4- to 6-in. (10 to 15 cm) base forthe new concrete and asphalt sur-face. The project called for 66,582cu. yds. (55,671 cu m) of grindingand 135,000 tons (122,470 t) ofground asphalt.The cross section of the 42-ft.
(12.8 m) wide final roadway hasfour different depths from the fin-ished surface. A 2-in. (5 cm) deepby 6 ft. (1.8 m) wide fast laneshoulder, a 4-in. (10 cm) deep by12-ft. (3.7 m) wide fast travel lane,a 9 in. (22.9 cm) deep by 14-ft.(4.3 m) wide slow travel lane and a3-in. (7.6 cm) deep by 10-ft. (3.5m) wide slow lane shoulder. The challenge for Oregon
Mainline Paving was how to con-trol the milled depth to a 0.02-ft.(.006 m) vertical tolerance, stay online at the different depth offsetswhile using a grinder with a 7-ft. 2-
When completed, it is expected to improve travel on a stretch that was orig-inally part of the Oregon Trail, which was the 2,000-mi. (3,219 km) historiceast-west wagon route and emigrant trail that connected the Missouri Riverto valleys in Oregon and locations in between.
To handle this complex milling project, OregonMainline Paving purchased a new Wirtgen W2100 coldmilling machine.
ODOT took the existing road surface profile butdidn’t mimic that surface exactly. Instead of goingall the way down to subgrade and building it back,it is requiring Oregon Mainline Paving to grind offthe existing asphalt to establish the bottom for thenew road surfaces.

Kenworth T680 Delivers Customer Best of Both WorldsCEO Rick Williams of Central
Oregon Truck Company (COTC)has discovered that he can have thebest of both worlds.Williams said the performance
of the Kenworth T680 equippedwith a 76-in. sleeper and a 455-hpPACCAR MX-13 engine taughthim that he didn’t have to sacrificeperformance for fuel and weightsavings by choosing a 13-L engineover a 15-L engine. Not even whenhis company’s trucks haul open-deck, specialized or over-sizedloads over mountain passes in theWest.Williams said COTC instead got
a big helping of fuel economy sav-ings and comparable power andtorque performance when com-pared to the results of trucksequipped with 15-L engines. In fact, results of the company’s
test of Kenworth T680s with 76-in.sleepers and the PACCAR MX-13engine convinced Williams toorder 56 of them to replace oldermodels. Central Oregon TruckCompany generally replaces itstrucks when they reach 550,000miles.“Our tests show that we’re get-
ting a half-mile per gallon fueleconomy improvement with aT680 equipped with the PACCARMX-13 engine pulling roll-top andcurtain vans compared to the per-formance of our older KenworthT660s equipped with the 15-literCummins ISX engine pulling thesame size loads,” Williams said.“That improvement convinced methat buying more of the T680s nowwould actually save us money overthe long-term. That’s why wechanged delivery dates to this yearversus next year for many of thesetrucks.”The “uber responsive” dealer
support from Papé Kenworth-Redmond in Oregon for the PAC-CAR MX-13 engine also helped
seal the deal, Williams added.“From a cab configuration, the
T680 offers our driving teammembers more comfortableamenities with a standard 76-inchsleeper and a wider cab,” he said. Williams refers to his compa-
ny’s drivers as driving team mem-bers because he believes thedescription more accuratelyreflects the importance of theseemployees to his company. It’salso why he cares what they thinkof the equipment his companychooses for them to drive.“Our driving team members say
the T680’s triple-sealed doors andacoustic treatments make for aquiet ride,” Williams said. “Theytell us that driving the T680 ismore like driving a car. They alsolike the improved visibility thatcomes from the T680’s panoramicwindshield and they really like therotating passenger seat and therotating table that they can use tofill out their paperwork during theirbreaks.“The positive response of our
driving team members to theT680’s powertrain performancehas offered the best feedback,”Williams added. “They tell us thatthe 455-hp PACCAR MX-13engine is not overburdened by the
kind of driving they have to do,even when they’re hauling heavyloads and topping out at 105,500GVW. Out west, we pull loadsover more hills. So, we need atruck with an engine that providesthe power we need.”The PACCAR MX-13 engine,
which comes standard with theT680, offers comparable pullingcapacity and torque to theCummins ISX, Williams said. “The T680 equipped with a full-
height sleeper and PACCAR MX-13 engine pulling roll-top and cur-tain vans even gave us a nice fueleconomy advantage over a testKenworth T660 unit equippedwith a 62-inch mid-roof sleeperand PACCAR MX engine pullingthe same loads.”Designed for linehaul and voca-
tional heavy duty truck operators,the PACCAR MX-13 utilizes thelatest common rail fuel-deliverytechnology, which enables injec-tion pressures of up to 2,500 barsignificantly enhancing fuel effi-ciency and performance. The com-mon rail system uses controls toregulate the fuel in a central mani-fold, only compressing the amountof fuel mixture needed. The resultis finer fuel atomization for opti-mized combustion, enabling lower
fuel consumption and emissions,according to the company.“The aerodynamics of the T680
combined with the performance ofthe PACCAR MX-13 engine con-vinced us to adopt the T680 withthe 76-inch sleeper as our compa-ny’s new platform Kenworthmodel,” Williams added.Central Oregon Truck Co. hauls
building materials, heavy equip-ment and other loads for majormanufacturers of building productsin the lower 48 states and Canada.It is a part of the Addison, Texas-based Daseke family of open-deck/specialized transportationcompanies. Williams attributes hiscompany’s success to a laser-likefocus on every performance aspectof the company’s all-Kenworthfleet of 215 trucks. The companykeeps close tabs on vehicle per-formance and governs the enginesto 62 mph. Idling is limited anddrivers are encouraged to checktire pressures regularly.In addition to the improved fuel
economy, Williams said the T680model equipped with the PAC-CAR MX-13 engine also offers hiscompany the ability to providedriving team members moreamenities for greater comfort with-out concerns over potential weight
penalties. The PACCAR MX-13engine is 300 lbs. lighter than the15-L Cummins ISX engine.“In open-deck operations,
weight is a huge concern,”Williams said. “Shippers hire usexpecting our trucks to be able tohaul between 48,000 and 49,000pounds. Whenever we spec ourtrucks, we have to keep that con-stantly top of mind. If we can’thaul 48,000 to 49,000 poundsbecause of the additional weight ofthe amenities we’ve chosen toattract and retain driving teammembers, then why would theyhire us?”For more information, visit

t) hydraulic removablegooseneck (HRG) trailerfrom Talbert Manufacturingoffers a 20-in. (51 cm) deckheight, the versatility toextend deck length and theflexibility to operate withmultiple rear axle configura-tions. Talbert designed the 55-
ton HRG with a telescopicdeck capable of extendingfrom 30 to 50 ft. (9 to 15 m)long. Extended, the unit hasa 27-ft. (8 m) wood deck inthe front and a 3-ft. (.9 m)wood platform in the rearwith beams stretchingbetween. The trailer expandsand locks in 4-ft. (1.2 m) increments. Whenlengthened, the telescopic trailer is ideal forhauling any equipment that requires a longdeck, such as tanks, bridge beams or bulkyequipment. When compressed, the trailercan be used as a standard deck trailer. The HRG features a 96-in. (244 cm)
swing radius and a gooseneck extensionwith a 120-in. (305 cm) swing clearance.While the competition offers 22- and 24-in.
(56 and 61 cm) deck heights, Talbert offersthis telescopic HRG with a 20-in. deckheight.The unit can be set up as a four axle close
couple or in a 2 + 2 or 3 + 1 spread axle con-figuration. Due to permitting requirements,getting a trailer to an overall length of lessthan 53 ft. (16 m) can be important. TheTalbert 55-ton telescopic trailer features 3rdand 4th axles that can be flipped or removed,
plus a 24-in. pinned and hinged gooseneckextension that also can be flipped. With these two key features, the trailer can
be shortened to less than 53 ft. so there is noneed to obtain an over-length permit whenthe trailer is running empty.The Talbert 55-ton telescopic trailer is
equipped with standard air-ride suspension.The trailer also is equipped with optionalDura-Bright aluminum wheels, strobe lights
at each axle, and a batterybackup that powers the light-ing package when the traileris disconnected from thetruck cab.This trailer delivers
greater lifting capacity overcomparable models due tothe gooseneck design. Whilemost conventional trailersfeature only two or threecylinders that run perpendi-cular to the deck, Talbertengineers its trailers withfour that run parallel. Thismeans Talbert trailers offer astronger lifting capacity andminimizes or eliminates theneed for frequent loadadjustments, according to
the manufacturer. In combination with its heavy-duty T-1,
100,000-PSI minimum yield steel construc-tion, the Talbert 55-ton telescopic traileroffers added strength and reliability.For more information, call 800/348-5232

Equipment-Mounted Drills Offer Productive SolutionE-Z Drill’s Model 210 equip-
ment-mounted concrete drillattachment series consists of threemodels: the three-gang Model210-3 EQ MT, four-gang Model210-4 EQ MT and five-gangModel 210-5 EQ MT. The series iscompatible with most models ofbackhoes and excavators. Thepneumatic drills offer speciallydesigned features for maximumproductivity and reduced mainte-nance, making them practical forfull-depth road repair and patchingprojects, according to the manufac-turer.A user-friendly, easily accessible
control panel is mounted on thedrill to provide convenient opera-tion from the ground. The units arecapable of drilling 5/8- to 2 ½-in.(1.6 to 6.3 cm) diameter holes, at adepth of 18 in. (45.7 cm). Eachindividual drill motor requires aminimum of 100 cfm (2.8 cum/min) for operation, with a mini-mum of 300 cfm (8.4 cu m/min)
required to power the smallest unitin the series, the three-gang Model210-3 EQ MT. To reduce air com-pressor requirements, an optional120-gal. air tank is available.Designed for quick, precise drill
positioning, the 210 EQ MT drillsfeature a side-shift control. In con-trast to similar equipment-mounteddrills, the carrier operator is notrequired to position the unit in theexact drilling location. The drillmust simply be placed in closeproximity to the specified drillingarea, then can be quickly and easi-ly adjusted to the target locationwith a toggle switch found on thecontrol panel.The side-shift feature further
enhances productivity by allowinga second set of holes to be drilledwithout the need to move the drill,backhoe or excavator, providedholes are specified on 12-in. (30.5cm) centers. Simply set the drillspacing at 24-in. (61 cm), drill oneset of holes, and engage the side-
shift. The unit willquickly and preciselymove 12-in. to drill thesecond set, all withoutrepositioning the drill orcarrier. Drill spacing isadjustable up to 24-in.,and the drills offer later-al travel up to 14-in.(35.5 cm). To reduce operator
effort and increase hole-drilling speed, the drillsfeature a “floating”bucket curl pin. By providing thepin with a small range of motion,the drill automatically levels itself,eliminating the tedious and time-consuming process of manuallyleveling and positioning the drillwith each movement. For added convenience and pro-
ductivity, the 210 EQ MT drillsfeature 360-degree rotation, whichallows quick repositioning fordrilling within the same patch. Toenhance operator safety, the rotat-
ing feature includes a safety swivellock. With the simple flip of aswitch, the lock is activated and thedrill is secured into place, ensuringsafe transport and preventingpotential harm to the operator.A number of features have been
incorporated into the 210 EQ MTdrills to enhance durability andextend service life. Multi-point oilinjection allows each drill to belubricated individually from a sin-gle reservoir, ensuring each drill
always has the properamount of oil. Thisreduces wear on themotor and is moreeffective than a centraloiling system, whichdoesn’t offer individuallubrication points. Anautomatic drill shut-offfurther extends individ-ual drill life by prevent-ing dry-firing. The 210 EQ MT
drills offer extra heightadjustment, providing access to thecenter of a slab, even in extremeasphalt overlay conditions. Tooffer a complete system, a full lineof drill bits and drill steel is avail-able. For more information, call

The Bradco tree and shrub grapple by PaladinAttachments is the newest addition to Paladin’s grappleselection. It is designed to make some of the hardest tasks inlandscaping quicker, cleaner and safer, according to the man-ufacturer. Mounted on versatile compact tool carriers, the tree and
shrub grapple can easily remove small trees, shrubs, orna-mentals and small stumps — even in tight spaces. Ahydraulically-powered alternative to shovels, axes, chains, orstump grinders, the tree and shrub grapple attachmentreduces job time by effectively removing the whole plant,including the stump, tap and secondary root system, in onesimple step. In addition to being easy to use, the tree and
shrub grapple keeps clean up to a minimum by leaving dirt,gravel, mulch, etc. in place with minimal disruption to theremoval site, which can often be cleaned up with just abroom.Paladin recently put the tree and shrub grapple to the test
on a residential condominium project. In just three hours thecontractor was able to cleanly remove more than fifty smalltrees and shrubs with no damage to the surrounding vegeta-tion, residential structures, irrigation systems or decorativegarden materials. A job that would typically have required atwo-man crew several days to complete with conventionaltools was easily condensed into a few hours allowing thecontractor to quickly finish this project and move on to thenext, according to the manufacturer.The tree and shrub grapple is constructed of half-inch (1.3
cm) AR 400 and AR 235 high-strength steel for maximumdurability for years to come. The grapple attachment weighs185 lbs. (84 kg) with a maximum working pressure (PSI) of3,000 pounds to tackle the toughest applications. There are many other uses for the tree and shrub grapple
attachment, including breaking up and removing asphaltdriveways and removing small stumps and other appropri-ately sized materials. For more information, call 800/456-7100 or visit

Terramac RevealsRT9 Custom-Made,Removeable CleatsTerramac LLC has introduced custom-made, remov-
able cleats for its RT9 rubber track crawler carrier. Thesteel cleats provide a solution for contractors working inicy or snow-covered mountainous terrain, on extremelymuddy ground or whenever additional traction isrequired. “A customer was using the Terramac RT9 carrier on a
pipeline job out east,” said Mike Crimaldi, president ofTerramac LLC. “In the winter, the snow gets packed intothe tracks and makes it tough to get up steep inclines. Ourteam got together and created steel cleats that providetraction and are easy to install.” Unlike traditional screw-on spikes, the bolt-on, bolt-
off cleats do not harm the track in any way. “We designed these cleats knowing that there may be
a situation where the cleat is binding,” said Terramacservice manager Joey Giannetto. “A different grade boltwas used to allow the bolt to shear. This not only protectsthe track, but reduces cost and downtime for the cus-tomer.” Contractors are able to add or remove the cleats them-
selves in about an hour depending on the quantity. It isrecommended that 16 cleats be installed on each track,with a minimum of eight per track.The new cleats and other parts and services for the
Terramac rubber track crawler carrier are available fromTerramac distributor Rig Source Inc., of Elburn, Ill.Rental units also are available.For more information, call 877/365-1649 or visit

Harnessing The Sun...
John Wesley Miller Unveils ‘Latest, Greatest’ Energy HomeBy Tom BealARIZONA DAILY STAR
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) JohnWesley Miller uses the words “lat-est and greatest’’ to describe thefeatures and fixtures in the “net-zero’’ energy home he is unveilingat his Armory Park del Sol subdivi-sion, but the bones of the buildingare old-school block and cement. The reason is simple. The laws
of thermodynamics haven’tchanged since Miller began har-nessing the sun to heat his build-ings more than 40 years ago. “Heat always travels toward
cold,’’ Miller said recently as hedescribed how the walls of this, themost efficient home he’s ever built,act as “thermal-mass storage.’’ All the voids in the block are
filled, creating mass to hold in thecold in summer and the warmth inwinter — with the exteriorwrapped in insulation and coatedwith three layers of stucco.
“The name of the game in solaris control. You keep what’s goingon on the inside inside,’’ he said. “What’s really important is
making sure you have the enveloperight. Then you can put all the bellsand whistles on,’’ said architectHank Krzysik, who first workedwith Miller at Biosphere 2 in thelate 1980s. Miller has learned (and taught) a
few tricks over the years, but thebasic envelope of a home is whatmakes everything else work, hesaid. For this “Vision House’’ at 413
S. Third Ave., Miller teamed withGreen Builder Media to create ashowcase for recycled buildingmaterials, energy-efficient appli-ances and an experimental heating-cooling system, all powered by anarray of photovoltaic panels thatwill generate 7.2 kW of electricityat peak. Two rooftop solar water heaters
feed a 150-gal. tank that preheatsoutside air in winter and provides
hot water. Russett SouthwestCorp., which provided the heating-cooling system, will monitor itsperformance. Once all the systems are operat-
ing and tested, they will meet orsurpass the highest standards oflocal and regional green-buildingcodes, said Krzysik. Solar panelswill easily produce more energythan the home consumes, he said. “It’s amazing what can be done
when we think sustainably and actaccordingly,’’ said Krzysik. For Miller, Vision House is the
capstone of his “recycled’’ subdivi-sion at the eastern edge of down-town’s Armory Park neighbor-hood, where the Southern PacificRailroad once housed its workers,close by the tracks and yard. Armory Park del Sol, which
opened in 2001, was planned as a99-home neighborhood of solar-powered homes. Three ownersbought double lots. This is the 95thhome built and only one lotremains.
This house has all the bells andwhistles of the sustainable buildingmovement: recycled-glass coun-tertops, electric-vehicle rechargingstation in the garage, 520-gal. rain-water catchment, lifetime cementshingles and remotely controlledappliances. The price, $888,000 for 2,500
sq. ft. of living area and a doublegarage, reflects the quality of theconstruction and the “latest andgreatest’’ contents. Projects such as Miller’s “infill
energy-efficient development isexactly what we need to be focus-ing on,’’ said Rich Franz-Under,manager of Pima County’s GreenBuilding Program. Miller has led by example, he
said, in his new housing and hisenergy-saving retrofits. “It’s a way to start to shift peo-
ple’s understanding of what is thetrue cost of homeownership. Mostpeople don’t take into account theirutility bills when they think aboutthe cost of building. John has been
a leader both locally and nationallyin this for many, many years.’’ Miller began building passive
solar structures with friend and col-league Carl Hodges at theUniversity of Arizona’sEnvironmental Research Lab in1973 and later that decade man-aged construction at environmen-tally friendly Biosphere 2. In 1981, he organized the first
Solar Parade of Homes for theSouthern Arizona Home BuildersAssociation and was involved inthe Tucson Solar Village conceptthat grew into the new-urban com-munity of Civano in southeastTucson. He was a member of the com-
mittee that devised a green-build-ing code for the NationalAssociation of Home Builders.

Activity Continuesto Trend Positivelyand competitive market pressures in 2014, among otherissues.ELFA President and CEO William G. Sutton said:
“Overall new business activity in the equipment finance sec-tor continues to trend positively, despite some softness inNovember compared to late-summer and early-fall perform-ance. Year-to-date volume also is encouraging as we headinto the final month of the year, which is typically a strongperiod for the sector. Fiscal pressures seem to be dissipatingas well with the U.S. Congress agreeing on a two-year budg-et, which should lessen the chance of any potential govern-ment shutdown and provide a measure of comfort to U.S.businesses trying to make planning decisions for the comingyear and beyond. Credit quality continues its strong showing,notwithstanding a slight uptick in November delinquencies.”Christopher Enbom, CEO and chairman, Allegiant
Partners Incorporated, said, “The continued growth in equip-ment finance from the previous year shows continuedstrength in the economy and in equipment spending. Thenumbers are especially good considering the fact there werefewer working days in November 2013 than 2012. We areexpecting a strong 2014 in the small company segment weserve. The budget deal is increasing stability and has boost-ed our forecast for next year.”For more information, visit www.elfaonline.org.(This story also can be found on Construction Equipment

SURVEY from page 1
Caterpillar Work Tools is introduc-ing a new generation of multi-proces-sors for Cat hydraulic excavators. TheCat MP318 and MP324 multi-proces-sors can handle virtually any demoli-tion job simply by using the basichousing and a choice of up to sixavailable jaw sets, according to themanufacturer.
The new multi-processor designbuilds on the success of its predeces-sor. It features an efficient weight-to-power ratio and a strong cutting andcrushing capability. The strong rotatorprovides a continuous 360-degreerotation that allows the operator tocarry out the demolition job quicklyand precisely from any angle.
Each multi-processor can beequipped with a wide selection ofinterchangeable jaws: concrete cutter(CC), demolition (D), pulverizer (P),shear (S), universal (U), and tank shear (TS).With one common housing and properlyselected sets of jaws a contractor can achieveflexibility with minimum investment and
can accomplish most tasks encountered on ademolition job. The various jaws can bequickly installed or changed, due to a newjaw locking system. Instead of taking about
45 minutes to change the jaws with theprevious series, it now takes only 10 min-utes. Basic tools are all that is needed,according to the manufacturer.
Caterpillar has made maintenanceeasier, too. The new jaws use bolt-onand pin-on wear material to eliminatealmost all need to weld the jaws.Keeping a jaw set in good repair hasnever been easier and can be done onsite in a matter of hours. Protection forhydraulic components and hoses hasbeen increased, and an improvedmotor guard gives greater motor pro-tection. Also, access to the cylinderhas been made easier and the cylinderrod protection has been optimized.The number of greasing points hasbeen reduced so servicing becomeseasy. Daily maintenance requires onlygreasing, checking wear and replac-ing any worn parts.
The multi-processors are fullysupported by Cat dealers so that cus-tomers can order parts and servicefor machines and work tools from a
single source. (This story also can be found on

Challenges Include Installation of Precast Tub Girders
tub girder.“A big thing about cast-in-place box
girders is that it requires a lot of false-work and a lot of heavy steel beams thathave been placed over traffic,” said Ma.“Erecting them was not easy and thehighway was closed for a few week-ends in late October and earlyNovember to strip all the falsework.”Coordination with railway, the Port
of Seattle and WSDOT, the city ofSeattle, and the consortiumbuilding the tunnel is crucialas the bypass provides asolution for multiple prob-lems. This required seriouspre-planning and coordina-tion with all the stakehold-ers, including subcontractorsfor the project.“We’re not facing major
challenges,” said Ma, “butjust the daily small problemsassociated with major proj-ects such as this one andeverything is progressingsmoothly. We spent a coupleof months estimating theproject, redesigning some ofthe elements and preparing awork schedule.”While there is room for Atkinson and
the subcontractors (around 22) to estab-lish temporary offices, depots and park-ing for vehicles and equipment, it wasstill a tight fit and a pre-staging planneeded to be developed to determinewhere equipment such as cranes wouldbe placed, how equipment would bemoved about, where to place materialsfor immediate use and for delivery
schedules.“The subcontractors had to buy off
on the plan before we could execute theplan,” said Ma. “We have a lot of bigequipment moving around, especiallyfor the subcontractors such as MalcolmDrilling, which brought in many bigcranes at the start of the project. We notonly had to ensure the installation of thecranes, but how long it would take toremove them so that we let other sub-contractors know when they could
move in. We have between four andfive subcontractors on site at any giventime.”On a daily basis Atkinson has about
46 personnel on site and subcontractorshave between 15 to 30 people.Some of the major subcontractors
include: Gary Merlino ConstructionCO (for PCCP), Gerdau (for rebar),John-Wayne Construction Company
(for barrier and moment slab), LakesideIndustries Inc (for asphalt paving),Malcolm Drilling (for drill shafts),Pacific Pile & Marine LP (for false-work piles), Schwager Davis Inc (forpost tensioning), and Totem Electric(for traffic signals and illumination).When weekend work occurs, opera-
tions are 24/7 per-day — two 12-hourshifts, and during regular operations,standard day shifts are the norm.“You tend to get more productivity
when people work during theday,” said Ma. “Working atnight interferes with a lot ofpeoples’ family time andschedules. When we getopportunities on weekendsand closures on holidays, wecan accomplish quite a lot.”The project includes some
drainage work as well, whichwill entail the removal ofabout 27,000 tons (24,494 t) ofcontaminated soil which willbe sent for processing at localyards to remove recyclables.“This is an area where
much of the soil is contami-nated,” said Ma. “Every timewe dig, we have archeologicalrecovery people on hand
because there are many artifacts in thearea due to being next to the port and onthe waterfront.”The nature of the project requires
Atkinson to submit updated workschedules in advance and to hold week-ly meetings to let everyone know whatis happening to ensure that railwayoperations and traffic closures can be

The nature of the project requires AtkinsonConstruction, the main contractor, to submit updatedwork schedules in advance and to hold weekly meet-ings to let everyone know what is happening to ensurethat railway operations and traffic closures can beproperly anticipated and implemented.
The project includes some drainage work as well,which will entail the removal of about 27,000 tons(24,494 t) of contaminated soil which will be sent forprocessing at local yards to remove recyclables.
For the bypass, Atkinson has brought in several LinkBelt rough-terrain RTC8065 cranes, Manitowoc Model2892C 28-ton (25.4 t) boom trucks, several IngersollRand VR-1056C forklifts, several F-150 (vehicles), andseveral F-450 (vehicles).
On a daily basis, Atkinson has about 46 personnel onsite and subcontractors have between 15 to 30 people.
It was still a tight fit and a pre-staging plan needed tobe developed to determine where equipment such ascranes would be placed, how equipment would bemoved about, where to place materials for immediateuse and for delivery schedules.

Study Finds BiggestDriver of Jobs to BeResidential Work3.4 percent decline or about 4,100 jobs over last year. California added 31, 500 jobs for an increase of 5.2 per-
cent. But even that is a mixed picture.“They top the list in total jobs added,” Turmail said. “But
it’s a tale of two markets. In coastal California, you can’teven find enough workers But when you get into that centralvalley, it’s still kind of sleepy.”Other states reporting good news include Connecticut
with an 11 percent increase, Missouri, at 9.8 percent, andGeorgia, which added, 13, 200 jobs.“Connecticut is a bit of a surprise,” Turmail said. “New
England — outside of Boston — has had a harder time get-ting into a recovery.”Montana also was a surprise, but not a good one, Turmail
said. Construction managers report work is good, with a lotof new construction activity on the east side of the state. Butthe data, as reported by the Labor Department, indicates thestate is still losing construction jobs.For the month, 30 states added construction jobs, 16 lost
jobs, while employment stayed steady in four states.The biggest driver of the jobs was residential construction,
both in the single- and multi-family markets. Activity in theenergy sector was also up, as was, surprisingly, the lodgingindustry.“There was a lot of renovation of facilities,” Turmail said.
“In 2006 through 2008 when money was very cheap, therewas a lot of hotel construction. There was so much overbuilthotel capacity. What we’re seeing now is either hotel ownersupgrading or putting money back in and renovating themand keeping them competitive as opposed to building newhotels from scratch.”But all that good news is undermined by declines in other
areas, like retail and office space. The trend toward on-lineretailing has dampened the demand for new retail space,while teleworking is shrinking the footprint for office spaceand will weaken demand for new space even as employersadd employees.There also was a surprise spike in public spending, but
analysts don’t expect to see that again. On the contrary, pub-lic spending has been trending down. “The federal government is not pumping as much money
into public works,” Turmail said. “State and local spendingwill continue to be weak, but as the economy improves youwill see a lot more municipal spending. You can expect to seeincreased construction in schools, fire departments and policestations, but that’s probably later next year.” The ACG again urged Congress and President Obama to
finalize water resources legislation and to act swiftly torenew long-term highway and transit legislation.“At this point, it is hard to predict whether construction
employment will continue to expand in many states nextyear,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief exec-utive officer. “Passing vital infrastructure measures will helpprotect construction employers from any softening in privatesector demand, while giving the economy a needed boost.” For the ranking of each state, visit http://www.agc.org/gal-

Trimble Allows for Early I-84Job Completion By Two Yearsin. (2.2 m) drum. The cross section requiredthe grinder to make nine passes across theroadbed. It could have been completed inseven passes, but two additional passes wererequired in the 9-in. (22.9 cm) deep section. “We wanted to grind from the lesser
depths to the deepest so we wouldn’t leaveground asphalt behind,” Swenson said.“Performing this milling task over a 9.5 mileproject, 19 miles of roadway, with addition-al milling to 12-inch depth in the concreteportion at the starting end and the bridges forthe sleeper slabs and anchors was definitelya challenge.”Once the milling was completed, Oregon
Mainline Paving used 62,000 tons (56,245 t)of asphalt and 154,000 sq. yds. (128,764 sqm) of concrete at 9 in. (22.9 cm) thick topave the road.“It was tremendously important to have
an accurate milled surface for the paving,”said Swenson. “Our pay depends on the IRI(International Roughness Index) score,which Oregon requires a score of 45. On thisproject, we were significantly below thatmark at 35. Additionally, ODOT has a zero-
out-of-tolerance expectation and measuresconcrete depth randomly, but always withina 200-ft. (61 m) section. The concrete sub-contractor had estimated a three percentoverrun, but in actuality they were at onepercent. Needless to say, ODOT is verypleased with the results.”The project is completed and the I-84,
Baldock Slough — South Baker Interchangesection of the one time Oregon Trail is han-dling traffic.Swenson said, “This was our first job
where we used a robotic total station withmachine control. I’m impressed with howefficient the Trimble Universal Total Stationswere and how well they worked. Thinkabout it, in 24 days we ground 9.5 miles ofhighway, 9 passes across. That’s an incredi-ble amount of grinding which we completedaccurately with the help of the technology.Our schedule was a bit of a grind — punintended — but we finished the project inone year, half the time, which was incredi-ble.”

Corporate Responsibility…
Hyundai Heavy Sends Aid toPhilippines Typhoon VictimsHyundai Heavy Industries Group,
Hyundai Construction Equipment’s parentcompany, recently made a donation of$200,000 via the Korean Red Cross in thewake of Typhoon Haiyan, which caused cat-astrophic damage to the Philippines. Thecompany also dispatched a21-ton class excavator, abackhoe loader and experi-enced operators to the area toassist in recovery efforts.“We express our deep
condolences to the victimsof the typhoon,” said LeeJai-Seong, Hyundai Heavy’spresident and CEO. “Wewill provide as much assis-tance as we can in order tohelp the victims reclaim theirnormal lives.”As a responsible corpo-
rate citizen in the countriesHHI operates in, this aid
effort is in line with the support rendered forseveral other recent natural disasters inBrazil, Japan, China and Haiti.

Hyundai Heavy Industries Group dispatched a 21-tonclass excavator, a backhoe loader and experiencedoperators to the area to assist in recovery efforts.
Alaska Way Job Requires Road Access for Heavy Vehiclesproperly anticipated and implemented.“They know that they can contact us
any time with concerns and that we willrespond rapidly,” said Ma. “The BNSFand the Port of Seattle are helping us alot. We are constantly trying to do agood job as everyone has the same goal— open the bridge as soon as possible,as was the case for the falseworkremoval operation.”The Alaska Way (SR 99 Tunnel —
Design-Build Project) being constructedby Seattle Tunnel Partners, a joint-ven-ture of Dragados USA and Tutor-PeriniCorp., requires road access for a varietyof heavy vehicles to access the tunnelvia the haul route and this meant passingthrough areas where the falsework wasinstalled and removed.“We planned the falsework to accom-
modate their trucks and drive by thebridge daily,” said Ma. “We meet withTutor-Perini officials every two weeksand they know what we are doing at alltimes. We’re in constant communica-tion. As long as you let people knowwhat is going on, there are no surprises.Open communication is the key.”
Atkinson did not purchase any equip-ment for this project. The company,based in Denver, maintains fleets ofvehicles and equipment in several keycenters. For the bypass, Atkinson hasbrought in several Link Belt rough ter-rain RTC8065 cranes, ManitowocModel 2892C 28-ton (25.4 t) boomtrucks, several Ingersoll Rand VR-1056C forklifts, several F-150 (vehi-cles), and several F-450 (vehicles). Ma does not have any onsite mechan-
ics, but has access to Atkinson mechan-ics who visit a number of area construc-tion sites on a regular basis for sched-uled maintenance and unexpectedbreakdowns. For the cranes, Ma hasaccess to dealers for repairs and for theforklifts, various vehicles and machin-ery, the company’s mechanics.“They come in for the typical
repairs,” he said. “The forklifts experi-ence a lot of flat tires and hydraulicchords snap. Right now I have four fork-lifts on site and we recently had onedown, but were able to continue onschedule. The stripping work can takeits toll.”He added that his superintendent han-
dles equipment issues and deals with the
operators, who each day must do a thor-ough inspection of the vehicles andequipment they use, which includes fill-ing in a daily report and a 360 walk-around the equipment.“This way defects and problems are
reported and the superintendent can takecare of it and call in the mechanics,” saidMa.Atkinson has set aside space for spare
parts, the storage of fuel and oils, andrepairs.Ma said the bypass project is valuable
in terms of experience.“We are learning a lot,” he said. “This
is probably the most complicated bridgeI’ve ever built in my lifetime and it’s thesame for a lot of the people involved.The concrete work is pretty complicatedas the bridge is on a big curve with highradiuses and trying to accommodate thatrequires a lot of engineering and a lot ofthinking outside the box to get it done.”
