Around Southern California, theycall him The Bucket King, and for goodreason.
Ty Deloss has been selling bucketsand attachments from his yard inBarstow, Calif., for half a century — hisinventory of 1,000 buckets of all sizesmay be the largest anywhere in thecountry, and his stock of other attach-ments is nearly as large. In the marketniche he began carving out for himselfin 1965, he remains a force.
At 76, Deloss hasn’t missed a day ofwork in more than 11 years at the busi-ness he started out of a station wagon.“I started as a contractor,” he said, “andsince I didn’t have a pickup, I workedout of my car. The only piece of equip-ment I had was my trusty wheel barrel,which I still have today.”
As his business grew, Deloss quicklysaw a need for someone to supplybuckets and other attachments to con-tractors like himself, and he graduallymoved away from contracting and intoequipment sales.
While Barstow doesn’t usually make
a list of most desirable communities inCalifornia, the city turned out to be theperfect place for a used attachmentdealership. The desert climate inBarstow is the perfect environment topreserve the iron in his yard, he said.
Recently, Ty sold a bucket that hadbeen in the yard for 19 years.
Though not well known outside ofthe Mohave region, Barstow also wasright logistically for his business.

The city is a major transportation center for the area ofSouthern California known as the Inland Empire. Two inter-states, 15 and 40, converge in the city, and Union Pacific rail-road runs through town. The close proximity to the ports inLong Beach offer an advantage for long distance shipping aswell. The city sits at the midway point between Los Angelesand Las Vegas, approximately 125 mi. (201.2 km) from each.Today, Deloss Machinery does about $1 million in buck-
et sales alone annually. It also sells a wide range of otherattachments and is a dealer of Falco, Paladin, JRB and SteelUnlimited.Ron Partridge, who manages Ritchie Brothers’s Perris,
Calif., location, has known Deloss for more than 25 years.“Ty knows more about buckets than anyone in the world, hesaid. “In fact, if I was confused about any kind of attachment,I’d call Ty.”Partridge is quick to point out that Deloss is more than just
an expert in his chosen field. He is also a “very savvy buyerand a marketer extraordinaire” he said. Once at a Ritchie auction in Perris, Deloss placed stickers
with his phone number on every bucket for sale in the yard.“He figured that anyone who bought a bucket at our salemight also buy a bucket from him,” Partridge said.Chris Anderson, also of Richie Brothers, said most buyers
at their sales know Deloss. “When our buckets go on salelate in the day, Ty plays a big role. He knows our business aswell as any customer I have.”
He added that Deloss has also been a seller at the auction.“He recently consigned about 20 buckets to us. During thetime leading up to the buckets going up for sale, he was outthere with a tape measure, making sure our description ofevery piece was accurate. “Currently Deloss Machinery employs nine people, most
of them as passionate about buckets as their leader.Donna Nash, who has been with Deloss for 9 years, shares
responsibility for both buying and selling. “Donna really knows her business too,” Anderson said.Located at 1641 W. Main St. in Barstow, Deloss special-
izes in more than just buckets. It also has ripper shanks forexcavators and dozers along with thumbs, fork attachments,compaction wheels, hydraulic and mechanical couplers forexcavators, asphalt cutting wheels, towable compactors,bedding conveyors, water towers and slopeboards.

Caltrans Approves $325.8M in Fundsfor Transportation ImprovementsThe California Transportation
Commission (CTC) has allocated $325.8million to 142 transportation projects thatwill alleviate traffic delays, repair agingroads and bridges and encourage bicy-cling and walking. Fifty one biking andpedestrian projects throughout the statewill receive $27 million in allocationsfrom the Active Transportation Program.“Caltrans is building transportation
improvements that will benefit the statefor decades to come,” said CaltransDirector Malcolm Dougherty. “Not onlyare we working to preserve our previousinvestments in the state highway system,but we are investing in projects that willexpand the availability of alternative,more sustainable ways of getting frompoint A to point B.”The newly allocated funding also
includes $132 million from the StateHighway Operation and ProtectionProgram for 54 projects that will maintainand preserve the investment in the statehighway system and its supporting infra-structure. These capital improvementsconsist of projects covering maintenance,
safety improvements, pavement repairand rehabilitation and upgrades to bridgesthroughout the state.“Caltrans is embracing a ‘fix it first’
strategy by focusing on preventativemaintenance to our existing transportationinfrastructure,” continued Dougherty.“We are striving to give California’s tax-payers the most bang for their buckbecause every $1 spent on preventativepavement maintenance translates into asavings of $6 to $14 that would have beenspent on expensive pavement repairs.”The allocations also include $8.4 million
from Proposition 1B, a transportation bondapproved by voters in 2006. To date, morethan $18 billion in Proposition 1B fundshave been put to work statewide for trans-portation purposes. The remaining $158.4million in allocations came from variousstate and federal transportation accounts.Among the projects that received fund-
ing allocations were:• Lassen County: $539,000 has been
allocated to upgrade the water supply atthe Honey Lake Safety Roadside RestArea near Janesville on US 395. A new
well will be drilled, a new pump installed,and new plumbing and electrical serviceto improve water quality and drought tol-erant reliable supply of potable water.• Tehama and Siskiyou County:
$420,000 has been allocated to upgradethe landscape irrigation systems, improv-ing water conservation on Interstate 5 andState Route 36 at various locations. Thesenew systems will reduce demands onpotable water by installing a more effi-cient water distribution system, sprinklerheads and controllers.• Various Counties: $3.3 million has
been allocated to improve six chain-onareas throughout the district, includingwidening paved shoulders, adding light-ing and upgrading signage to improve thesafety of workers and the traveling public.• Shasta County: $4.4 million has been

ers, and the Los Angeles City Council voted to stoptower construction at fire and police stations.The feds gave the county until April 13 to come
up with a new plan for completing the system.County officials said they’ll meet the deadline.

More Congestion Relief Coming to Santa Ana FreewayCaltrans and the Los Angeles
County MetropolitanTransportation Authority (Metro)began construction on a $215 mil-lion project on the Santa AnaFreeway (Interstate 5) that willease traffic congestion for the morethan 170,000 motorists who travelit daily.“This project will be good for
commuters and good for the econ-omy, as I-5 is a key route for themovement of people, goods andservices throughout California”said Caltrans Director MalcolmDougherty. “All the improvementsto I-5 by Caltrans and our trans-portation partners will ultimatelyimprove traffic flow and safety anddecrease surface street traffic forthose who live, work and travelalong this important highway cor-ridor.”The Florence Avenue Project,
which extends from Orr and DayRoad in Santa Fe Springs to justsouth of the San Gabriel RiverFreeway (I-605) in Downey, willadd one carpool lane and one gen-eral purpose lane in each direction
of I-5. The Florence Avenue over-crossing and the Orr and Day Roadovercrossing will also be widenedfor better traffic flow and enhancedsafety, and the Florence AvenueInterchange will be reconfigured.Construction is anticipated to becompleted in fall 2019.Caltrans is investing $3.2 billion
to significantly improve I-5 in LosAngeles County from Burbank tothe Kern County line and from theLos Angeles/Orange County lineto the San Gabriel River Freeway(Interstate 605). The FlorenceAvenue Project is part of a packageof six construction projects totaling$1.6 billion that will widen theInterstate 5 South Corridor byadding one carpool lane and onegeneral purpose lane in each direc-tion from the Orange County lineto the San Gabriel River Freeway(I-605). Once completed, the projects
will improve corridor mobilityfrom the Los Angeles/OrangeCounty line to the I-605, providecongestion relief, safety improve-ments and better facilitate the
movement of goods and services.“This stretch of Interstate 5 to
the Orange County line is the back-bone of Southern California com-
merce,” said Metro Board memberand Los Angeles CountySupervisor Don Knabe. “It hasbeen in need of upgrading for years
and now the major work is beingdone.”Interstate 5 has been identified
by Caltrans and the FederalHighway Administration as part ofthe Tier 1 Freight Network, forhaving the highest truck volumesand providing essential connectivi-ty to and between key freight gate-ways and regions. Designating sec-tions of highway in such a wayhelps states like California directtheir road maintenance andimprovement resources where theycan have the biggest economicimpact.These improvements to I-5 are
funded through a combination offederal, state and local resources,including $7 million in StateHighway Operation and ProtectionProgram (SHOPP) funds and $128million in Metro funding. For more information, visit

Orange County Archives PhotoCaltrans and the Los Angeles County MetropolitanTransportation Authority (Metro) began construction on a $215million project on the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) that willease traffic congestion for the more than 170,000 motorists whotravel it daily.
Caltrans has awarded approximately $560million to 77 transportation projects that willupgrade transit service, modernize transitstations and help purchase cleaner-runningbuses.“Not only will these projects create jobs,
they will also help curb greenhouse gas pol-lution and provide viable alternatives to driv-ing cars,” said Caltrans Director MalcolmDougherty.The funding is authorized through
Proposition 1B, the $19.9 billion, 2006voter-approved transportation bond, whichincluded $3.6 billion to fund more than1,100 transit projects over a 10-year period.The majority of Proposition 1B bond proj-ects from the 2006 measure are either underconstruction or complete and providingmobility, safety and sustainability benefitstoday. This year’s budget appropriated theremaining Prop. 1B funds primarily in thelocal transit and intercity rail areas. Examples of projects that were awarded
Proposition 1B transit funding include:• Los Angeles: $106.3 million for the
Mid-City/Exposition Light Rail TransitProject. This will improve public transitservice and mobility between Culver Cityand Santa Monica by adding 7.8 miles ofnew light rail line to the existing system in
Los Angeles County.• San Francisco: $81.8 million for the
Central Subway light rail line that will trans-port passengers from South of Market toChinatown. The 1.7-mi. (2.7 km)-long line isexpected to attract an average of 42,400 pas-sengers daily by 2030.• Orange County: $43.5 million for the
Raymond Avenue Grade Separation Project,which will construct a vehicle underpass atthe rail crossing on Raymond Avenuebetween Walnut Avenue and Ash Avenue.The busy crossing serves BurlingtonNorthern Santa Fe trains and Metrolink pas-senger trains. The new underpass will sepa-rate trains from vehicles, allowing both to
use the tracks safely, and it also will elimi-nate waits for motorists as crossing trainspass.• Sacramento: $9.3 million to Sacramento
Regional Transit to replace aging equipmentwith new, clean-air buses that run on naturalgas.Caltrans and the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) didn’t just deliver ontheir promise to keep the state’s transporta-tion improvement projects moving forwardwith Proposition 1B bond funds — they alsochanneled more than $1 billion worth ofproject savings to pay for dozens of new orexpanded projects. Last December, Caltrans also allocated
more than $230 million for 86 transit proj-ects, including $45 million to purchase 550replacement buses in Los Angeles Countythat run cleaner and are more accessible forpassengers with disabilities.Providing safe mobility for all users —
including pedestrians, transit riders, bicy-clists and motorists — supports the missionof Caltrans to “Provide a safe, sustainable,integrated and efficient transportation sys-tem to enhance California’s economy andlivability.” In an effort to increase the construction of
multimodal local streets and roads, Caltransrecently endorsed National Association ofCity Transportation Officials guidelines thatinclude innovations such as buffered bikelanes and improved pedestrian walkways.Caltrans also is currently seeking ideas fromthe public on how to improve transportationbetween regions of the state to strengthenCalifornia’s economy and livability whilereducing the greenhouse gas emissions thatcause climate change.

TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) Californiaparks officials say Gov. Jerry Brown’sproposed budget would make it possi-ble to nearly double the operating hoursplanned at a new visitor’s center andmuseum at Donner Memorial StatePark north of Lake Tahoe.The 10,000-sq. ft. (929 sq m) center
is scheduled to open in late springalong Interstate 80 near Truckee.The $113 billion budget blueprint
Brown unveiled earlier this month has$37 million for state parks, including$424,000 for the new building. The ill-fated Donner Party crossed the desertin Utah and Nevada in 1846 beforebecoming stranded in a winter stormnear the site in the Sierra Nevada,resulting in dozens of deaths and evi-dence of cannibalism.Vicky Waters, deputy director of
public affairs for California State Parks,said if the Legislature approves the$424,000, it would go toward centeroperations, allowing the center at thestate park east of Donner Lake to beopen seven days a week.
Without the money, she said it willopen four days a week, supported byexisting department funding. Specificoperational days have yet to be identi-fied, but would include popular visita-tion days, she said.“We’re very thankful that the gover-
nor identified this particular project,and we'll just have to see if it material-izes at the end of the legislativeprocess,” Waters told the Sierra Sun.Lawmakers are expected to com-
plete a final state budget to submit to
Brown for his approval in June.The $6 million building will feature
interactive exhibits, including those onthe Donner Party, regional NativeAmerican history, railroad develop-ment through Donner Pass andInterstate 80 construction. It willreplace the current Emigrant TrailMuseum.Construction began in May 2011 at a
time when the California State Parkssystem was struggling financially,Waters said. It was completed in thesummer of 2013. But the opening hasbeen delayed for a number of reasons,including bad weather, design chal-lenges and an appeal filed against theawarding of a contract for a museumexhibit.Once it opens, the Emigrant Trail
Museum building will be used forarchival storage, training and office andmeeting place.

Health Worries...
Crews Tear DownCandestick ParkInstead of ImplodeSAN FRANCISCO (AP) San Francisco’s Candlestick
Park will be torn down instead of blown up following con-cerns that a planned implosion of the venerable stadiummight create health problems for people living nearby.The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the development
company planning to build houses, a hotel and a shoppingcenter at the site agreed to scrap its idea of using explosivesto quickly collapse Candlestick and possibly broadcastingthe dramatic destruction during the Super Bowl.According to The Chronicle, an environmental law clinic
at Golden Gate University and the Bayview HillNeighborhood Association objected to the implosion on thegrounds that it would raise clouds of concrete dust that couldprove harmful to local communities. The San FranciscoBuilding and Construction Trades Council also voiced itsopposition.Lennar Corporation instead plans to dismantle the stadium
over the next two months with a long-armed excavator. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment

Wacker Neuson Continues to Grow in N.A. MarketHeadquartered in Menomonee
Falls, Wis., Wacker NeusonCorporation has been a leadingprovider of light and — increasing-ly — compact equipment in theUSA and Canada for more thanfive decades. The Wacker NeusonCorporation is a member of theinternational Wacker NeusonGroup, which recently publishedits successful figures for fiscal2014.
Heart of Business Successin North America
The company started manufac-turing and marketing light equip-ment in the United States back in1957. At that time, it was based inHartford, Wisc., and was the firstaffiliate outside of Germany estab-lished by Wacker (founded in1848). Building on its ongoingsuccess in the region, the groupinvested in a new, largerdevelopment and productionfacility in Menomonee Fallsnear Milwaukee, Wisc., in1986. Today, this site extendsover a total area of 539,000sq. ft. Wacker Neuson manufac-
tures rammers, rollers, trenchrollers (soil and asphalt com-paction), pumps and genera-tors (worksite technology),and trowels (concrete tech-nology) in MenomoneeFalls. In 2015, it also startedproducing skid steer loadersand compact track loaders(compact equipment) at thesite. In 2006, the company
decided to enhance its portfo-lio of heaters and dehumidi-fiers for the construction sec-tor by purchasing the compa-ny Ground Heaters Inc., amanufacturer of mobile hydronicheaters for construction companiesheadquartered in Spring Lake,Mich. In 2008, Wacker Neusonmoved to its new production site inNorton Shores, Mich. Today, itmanufactures heaters, dehumidi-fiers and light towers at the168,000-sq.-ft. site.The majority of products are
destined for the North Americanmarket although some products aredistributed globally. Since 1967Wacker Neuson also has beenoperating in Canada with officesand distribution facilities inToronto and Calgary. For some
time now, Wacker Neuson prod-ucts also have been used beyondconstruction by municipal bodies,landscaping firms and industrialcompanies in oil and gas forinstance.
Revenue Doubled in Just Four Years
Wacker Neuson has establisheda leading position for light equip-ment in its North American homemarket. The merger of Wacker andNeuson Kramer in 2007 expandedthe product portfolio for the UnitedStates and Canada to include com-pact excavators, wheel loaders anddumpers. The reputation of theWacker brand (established for lightequipment) and the company'sproximity to customers contributedto the successful launch of theselarger machines, according to thecompany.
“Our customers trust us and theytrust the Wacker Neuson Group asa strong, successful global brand.We’ve been able to increase salesby also offering our customerscompact equipment in the qualitythat they have come to expect fromus. In just four years, we’ve morethan doubled revenue in NorthAmerica,” said ChristopherBarnard, CEO of the WackerNeuson Corporation. “We would-n’t be where we are today withoutsuch excellent people with all theircommitment, knowledge andproblem-solving skills.” Wacker Neuson's product port-
folio includes more than 300 prod-uct groups of light and compactequipment that the company dis-tributes via its extensive, profes-sional network of dealers andrental companies. ExperiencedWacker Neuson specialists supportboth key accounts and customers.
Skid Steer Loaders Now Made in the United StatesThe first skid steer loaders of
Wacker Neuson in MenomoneeFalls rolled off the production linejust at the beginning of this year.The company currently is develop-ing and manufacturing two power-
ful skid steer loader models andtwo compact track loader modelsat the site. “We expect this product group

It may very well be thesmoothest 10 mi. (16 km) of inter-state highway in the state ofMontana and maybe even in NorthAmerica. Heck, it might be thesmoothest chunk of highway onthe globe, if you talk with thoseinvolved.A recently renovated 10-mi. sec-
tion of I-90, starting in Alberton,Mont., which is located on thewestern part of the state near theIdaho border, and stretching east,received sterling commendations,shattered target IRI scores, andearned the general contractor$605,000 in quality bonuses. Iteven won the 2014 MCAExcellence Award for Best PavingSmoothness from the MontanaContractors Association.“Our crew, subcontractors, and
the Montana Department ofTransportation [MDT] inspectorsall worked seamlessly togethergiving us the efficiency, thorough-ness and quality results we wereafter,” said Lance Streeter, generalsuperintendent with Knife RiverCorporation’s Western MontanaDivision, headquartered inBismarck, N.D. “This was a two-year project that we finished in oneconstruction season.”Knife River Corporation was
the general contractor on the $15.5million I-90 renovation. The com-pany has 5,000 employees duringpeak season and operates in 18states with physical locations in 14of them. It is the country’s 10thlargest aggregate producer and the5th-largest U.S. producer of sandand gravel. The company had eightemployees assigned to the roadproject.The I-90 project commenced on
June 10 with Knife River’s sub-contractor Industrial Builders Inc.,
Bismarck, N.D., performing theshoulder-to-shoulder rotomillingof the road to three-tenths of a foot,with the milled material convertedto reclaimed asphalt pavement(RAP). The drive lane and passinglane were milled out an additionalthree-tenths for a total of six-tenthsof a foot.As Industrial Builders began
completing the 40 lane miles ofmilling, Knife River could beginpaving. “When we first looked at this
project I knew we had to be
aggressive in our work scheduleand that we had to achieve consis-tent smoothness with each lift thatwe placed,” Streeter said. “Thepayment incentives that MDToffered were very attractive andwithin our capabilities to achieve.”The bonus incentives offered by
MDT were based on achievingpaved finished surfaces with favor-able International RoughnessIndex (IRI) scores:• 45 — 55 IRI was acceptable
— no bonus, no penalty• 35 — 44 IRI earned up to 24
percent bonus, based on a slidingscale• below 35 IRI earned a 25 per-
cent bonus“I knew that in order to achieve
a low IRI index throughout the jobthat we needed continuous pavingwith thoroughly mixed HMA atthe right temperature,” saidStreeter. “I knew that in order toachieve that we’d need to use aShuttle Buggy.” Knife River owns three Roadtec
SB-2500e/ex Shuttle Buggy mate-rial transfer vehicles (MTV) that
are designed to store and transferhot-mixed asphalt material to apaver to enable continuous pavingproduction. An anti-segregationauger remixes materials just beforedelivery to the asphalt paver. “I was a part of our decision to
purchase our first Shuttle BuggyMTV in 1998, so I knew how crit-ical this machine would be to max-imizing the performance of ourasphalt paver; plus, we have thesame operator and mechanic fromback then who know the machineinside out ” Streeter said. “TheShuttle Buggy was instrumental inensuring continuous paving and itreduced our trucking costs sincethe trucks could dump their loadsand return to the plant, which waslocated about 23 to 28 miles away.”Streeter continued, “When you
look at temperature change andsegregation issues that can occurduring a 30-minute haul, it’s easyto see how the Shuttle Buggyhelps. With its 25-ton surge capac-ity we had plenty of mix to feed thepaver and keep it continuously pro-ductive. This meant our bellydump train could unload and leaveright away.”Knife River used a two-dump-
truck train for asphalt hauling. Thelead belly dump had a 26- to 28-ton(23.6 to 25 t) capacity and the con-nected pup had a 12- to 14-toncapacity. The Shuttle Buggy used awindrow pickup head to add thehauled HMA to its dump hopper.The Roadtec SB-2500e/ex is pow-ered by a 300 hp Cummins QSL 9engine. The Montana I-90 rehab project
required a total of 165,000 tons(149,685 t) of HMA with approxi-mately one third of that being RAP.Knife River placed three lifts. Thebottom lift was three-tenths thickand the top two layers were each15-hundredths.

Smooth Pavement Shatters IRI Scores, Earns $605,000 Bonus
The Montana I-90 rehab project required a total of 165,000tons (149,685 t) of HMA with approximately one third ofthat being RAP. Knife River placed three lifts. The bottom liftwas three-tenths thick and the top two layers were each 15-hundredths.
The I-90 project commenced on June10 with Knife River’s subcontractor,Industrial Builders Inc., Bismarck,N.D., performing the shoulder-to-shoulder rotomilling of the road tothree-tenths of a foot, with themilled material converted toreclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP).
A recently renovated 10-mi. (16 km) section of I-90, starting in Alberton, Mont., which is located onthe western part of the state near the Idaho border, and stretching east, received sterling commen-dations, shattered target IRI scores, and earned the general contractor $605,000 in quality bonuses.

Contractor Credits Shuttle Buggy as Key to Success“The Shuttle Buggy was key to
ensuring our quality on each lift,”said Streeter. “It was interesting thatas our MDT inspectors began to seethe quality we were achieving westarted seeing more and more visitsfrom other MDT officials outsideof our team — they were veryinterested to learn how the MTVwas helping us.”The project required coopera-
tion and coordination to maintainuninterrupted paving. In additionto the steady delivery of HMAfrom the asphalt plant, there wasthe removal and replacement of60,000 ft. (18,288 m) of guardrails.“Our sub, Mountain West
Holding Company, based inMissoula, Montana, had all six oftheir punch trucks working,”Streeter said. “They did an incred-ible job of pulling guard rails infront of the paver and then replac-ing them after the paver — it waspoetry in motion.”
The Montana I-90 project,which started in June, was com-pleted Oct. 28 — a full year aheadof schedule. In addition to an earlycompletion, Knife RiverCorporation also achieved an aver-age IRI index score of 29, whichgave the company the highestincentive payment for finishedpavement smoothness. For itsefforts, Knife River earned$605,000 in bonuses.“This project was a totally coor-
dinated effort among everyoneconnected with the project,” saidStreeter. “We created a smooth,very rideable, surface — probablyamong the best I’ve ever seen.”In looking back at the project,
Streeter credits the Shuttle Buggyfor helping them achieve the qual-ity of paving, and for productionsavings.“With our Roadtec Shuttle
Buggy, I estimate that we easilysaved $165,000 in our truckingcosts alone,” stated Streeter.“There were no delays. Our belly
dump train could unload and leaveright away.”The quick turnaround of the haul
trucks helped maintain the aggres-sive production pace the KnifeRiver set. Early in the day, KnifeRiver would pave at a rate of 450ton (408 t) per hour and slow thepace down to 350 ton (317.5 t) perhour toward the end of the daybecause they were outstripping theasphalt plant’s production.“The key to our success on this
job was the ability to keep ourpaver continuously paving withhomogenously mixed HMA at theright temperature,” Streeter con-cluded. “The Shuttle Buggy madeit possible. It gave us the produc-tion consistency that made the dif-ference to this 10-mi. stretch of I-90 between the AlbertonInterchange and the HusonInterchange.”

However, the proposal’s cut of a grant program for buy-ing land under the Washington Wildlife and RecreationProgram drew immediate criticism from an outdoor recre-ation group. In an email shortly after the budget wasannounced, the Washington Wildlife and RecreationCoalition said the Senate proposal “undermines the programand threatens its existence.’’ Carrie Shaw, spokeswoman of the mostly Republican
caucus that controls the Senate, said the land purchases arebeing paused for two years to divert money toward a back-log of construction for the program. The House capital budget bill passed in a 96-2 vote April
2. It included funding for some energy-efficiency proposalsbacked by Gov. Jay Inslee that the Senate proposal strips out,said Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish. Dunshee, who assembled the House’s capital budget bill,
said at first glance, the Senate’s construction budget bearsseveral key similarities to the House version. Both plansfocus on expanding capacity for mental health treatment,although the House bill funds one facility that is absent fromthe Senate version.

RESPECTFULLY DISREGARDS CONVENTIONAL EXCAVATOR WISDOM.Plenty of people make compact excavators. But none can say they engineered the first mini-excavator, zero tail swing excavator, swing-boom excavator and rubber-tracked excavator. At Yanmar, we simply can’t stop innovating. That’s why our nine excavators – seven with true zero tail swing – are each purpose-built to overcome the most challenging conditions, work with unparalleled power and conserve fuel. So, if you just want to play around on your jobsite, go get any old excavator. BUT IF YOU’D RATHER RULE YOUR JOBSITE, GET A YANMAR.

Las Vegas Arena Will Seat 20,000 for Outdoor Entertainmentdown into the ground partiallybelow grade, for cost if you able todo that,” said Stephans. “It givesyou the opportunity to have fanscome in at the concourse level. Italso changes the style of the build-ing. Because of our site, the soiltypes —caliche rock layers —make it hard to excavate out. It wasone of the cost efficiency decisionsthat was made. Everything is builtfrom grade up so that it differsfrom a lot of other arenas. It’s amore extensive and more promi-nent structure when you do it that.
“There is a lot of glass. On themain entry to the east and northeastwe have a lot of glass. We don’thave much at all on the west toavoid the heat issues. The buildingis oriented, everything is drivenaround location and climate.”
Constructed largely of steel, theproject calls for approximately7,000 pieces of the material,weighing about 7,100 tons (6,441t). The shortest piece of steel is 2 ft.(.6 m), the longest, 350 ft. (106.7m). The average weight of the steelbeams is 1,000 lbs. (453.6 kg) andthere is 665,000 sq. ft. (61,780.5 sqm) of metal floor and roof decking.
“There’s just a lot of coordina-tion between the steel, relative todesign,” said Thurmond. “A lot ofthe 3D computer modeling is tomake sure all of that fit together inprefabrication ahead of time. Theprecast risers that form the seatingbowl all have to go in ahead of thelong span roof trusses. All of thathas to be prefabricated precisely.”
The roof structure is designedwith a rigging grid that has a200,000 lb. capacity for hangingequipment for concerts and events.The long-span roof clear spans theseating bowl of 350 by 450 ft.(107.7 by 137 m), all column freespace for unobstructed views of theevent floor.
Worker recently set the first rooftruss.
“We’ve got four main roof truss-es that span over the bowl,” saidThurmond. “Two of them are 351-feet long; two are 308-feet longand we’re setting them half a trussat a time. That’s 180,000 poundshoisted with two cranes. Eachcrane is picking up a portion of thathalf truss load, then setting half ona shore tower. One releases it andthe other hangs on until it is stabi-lized and then they go get the other
half. We have on site a 2250Manitowoc and a 1300 Liebherrcrane.”
One crane has a 154-ft. (47 t)boom with a 154-ft. (47 t) Luffer;the other also has a 154-ft. boomand a 76-ft. (23 m) Luffer.
The arena will be enveloped intwo skin systems. Work will beginon those as soon as the roof trussesare in place.
“The metal foam panel systemis the first skin to keep out the cli-mate,” Thurmond said. An archi-tectural skin will continue through
the year. They will overlap. Thefoam subskin will be completed byOctober. The architectural skin wewill be working on throughout theyear.”
At the height of construction,there will be approximately 600 to700 workers on site and 45 differ-ent subcontractors.
Prior to construction of thearena, several two-story officebuildings were on the site, which islocated between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo casi-

Spread over 16 acres right near the Strip, the arena will have thecapacity to seat 20,000 people for events like boxing matches, con-certs, award shows and other sporting events and entertainment.
The roof structure is designed with a rigging grid that has a200,000 lb. capacity for hanging equipment for concerts andevents. The long-span roof clear spans the seating bowl of 350 by450 ft. (107.7 by 137 m), all column free space for unobstructedviews of the event floor.
Prior to construction of the arena, several two-story office buildings were on the site,which is located between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo casinos.
Workers broke ground on the $375 million, 650,000-sq. ft. (60,386.9 sq m) arena,owned by AEG and MGM Resorts International, in May 2014 and it is expected tobe completed in April of 2016.

Productivity Comes Standard With Terex Skid Steer LoadersTerex offers a full line of skid
steer loaders — vertical lift pathand radius lift path — to comple-ment its line of compact equip-ment. With models ranging from50 to 85 hp, Terex skid steer load-ers are designed to be more pro-ductive than other brands, due totheir high ground clearances andrear angles of departure, high trav-el speeds, increased fuel capacities,strong tractive effort and mechani-cal-faced axle seals, according tothe manufacturer. “Terex skid steer loaders are
engineered to give operators morepower and productivity duringoperation and are built to keepworking when and where otherscan’t,” said Jamie Wright, productmanager, Terex ConstructionAmericas. “Terex skid steer load-ers are ideal for applications wherecontractors and owner/operatorsneed reliable, productive machinesthat get the job done efficiently andcost effectively.”Offering four radial lift path
models, as well as five vertical liftpath models, Terex designed itsskid steer loaders with some of thebest ground clearances and rearangles of departure in the industry:10.5-in (26.7 cm) ground clearanceand 29 degree rear angle of depar-ture on medium-frame loaders and26 degree on large-frame loaders.These features improve the abilityof the machine to traverse soft,uneven terrain, making the work-day more productive and less frus-trating.Offering impressive tractive
effort on all models — 8,453 lb. onthe medium-frame models and8,700 lb. on the large-frame mod-els, Terex skid steer loader opera-tors are able to move more materi-al per loader per day than otherbrands, according to the manufac-turer. The drive pumpsand motors on theseloaders are per-f o r m a n c ematched to pro-vide opera-tors with
the optimum amount of hydraulichorsepower on every task. Terexloaders are also designed withload-sensing hydraulics to ensurethat fuel and energy are not wastedon surplus hydraulic power, sooperators can push material, dig,grade and drive-through the tough-est job site conditions, yet conservepower when requirements are lessdemanding. For increased versatil-ity, the loader arms on the Terexmodels are designed to easilyaccommodate over-the-tire steeltracks, and because these loadersrun cool, allowing operators towork longer in hot, humid environ-ments.To get more done on every job
site, Terex offers performance-matched attachments for its skidsteer loader line, includingauger, backhoe, rotarybroom, general purposebucket, light-material bucket,multi-purpose bucket, dozerblade, pallet forks, power boxrake, snow blade, snow blow-er, stump grinder, trencher,vibratory roller and theLoegering Eliminator rake.Each attachment comes stan-dard with the necessaryhydraulic lines and connec-tors or electric connectionsfor a quick, easy fit.Terex skid steer loaders
are built to get load-ing, picking andcarrying, grad-ing, backdraggingor snow
removal jobs done faster and moreefficiently. For quick cycle times, apowerful drive train with optional2-speed transmission propelsTerex loaders up to 12 mph. Terexloaders also offer increased fuelcapacities with 25-gal. fuel tanks inthe medium-frame loaders and 30-gal. fuel tanks in the large-framemodels, translating to longer oper-ating times between refueling.Productivity of the new Terex
skid steer loaders also is enhancedby the ergonomic operator’s envi-ronment. The tower design on theloaders offers enhanced visibility,while the sealed and pressurizedcab on the new Terex loaders pro-vides a clean operating environ-ment. Open-
style and enclosed cab operatorstations are available, allowingTerex customers to select amachine to best suits their job siteneeds. “Everything from the hydraulics
to the balanced machine weight,ensures smooth operation, reducedvibrations and exceptional stabili-ty, contributing to improved opera-tor comfort,” said Wright.To keep operators fresh and in
control, hydraulic joystick controlscome as standard equipment on allTerex loaders models, allowing forquick, agile manipulation of themachine’s bucket, loader andtravel functions with minimaleffort. The joystick controls fea-
ture built-in switches
for auxiliary hydraulic and electriccontrol of attachments — eachmodel is pre-wired for quick, easyconnection to attachments.Terex knows that a working
machine is a profitable machine.To combat unnecessary downtimeand maintenance costs, mechani-cal-faced axle seals are standard inall Terex skid steer loaders. Theseseals greatly extend the life of theaxle bearings by preventing themigration of material such as dust,sand and debris. Terex skid steerloaders also feature a tilt-up ROPSto ensure quick, trouble-free serv-ice checks by making all dailyservice points easily accessible.

Case Launches SR270 Radical Lift, SV300 Vertical LiftCase Construction Equipment
became the first manufacturer tooffer skid steer loaders with selec-tive catalytic reduction (SCR)technology with the introduction ofthe SR270 radial-lift skid steer andthe SV300 vertical-lift skid steer.The SR270 becomes the industry’slargest radial lift skid steer with arated operating capacity of 2,700lbs. (1,224 kg) at 90 hp. The newTier IV Final models feature best-in-class torque, breakout force andstandard auxiliary hydraulic flow,as well as the industry’s widest cabwith best-in-class 360-degree visi-bility, according to the manufactur-er. The SCR engine technology
found in both machines is a resultof years of emissions reductionexpertise by Fiat PowertrainTechnologies (also a CNHIndustrial company). Havingproven itself in on-road truckingapplications, and expanding intoheavy earthmoving and agricultur-al applications, the technology hasevolved to prove beneficial in evensmaller engine ranges, such as skidsteers. “Owners and operators who get
in the habit of topping off theirdiesel exhaust fluid [DEF] tankwhen they refuel will notice thatthere’s no additional attentionrequired — it’s that easy,” saidWarren Anderson, brand market-ing manager, Case ConstructionEquipment. “There are no daily orintensive maintenance effortsrequired by the new technology, nodiesel particulate filter to maintainor replace — and owners willnotice a more efficient use of themachine’s engine.” The new SR270 weighs in at
8,117 lbs. (3,682 kg), the SV300 at8,655 lbs. (3,926 kg). Both deliverbest-in-class torque of 282 ft./lbs.and bucket breakout force up to8,776 lbs. Rated at 90 gross hp, themachines include standard (24.2gpm [91.6 Lpm] and high-flowauxiliary 37.6 gpm [143 Lpm])hydraulics for power and attach-ment versatility. A 25.5-gal. (96.5L) fuel tank extends runtimes andensures that the machine can workthe entire day without refueling.
SCR: Easy, Efficient Tier IV Final
Because SCR is an after-treat-ment system, it lowers exhaust
temperatures and does not requireunproductive fuel use associatedwith burning off particulate matter— great for larger engines. Thisoffers a reduction in fuel use com-pared to systems with DPFs. ThisSCR solution is more efficient andrequires less maintenance thanDPFs, as it does not require filterreplacement or upkeep. It alsoremoves complexity for operatorsand maintenance staff by eliminat-ing regeneration associated withDPFs.
Heavy-Duty FeaturesWith the introduction of this
generation of Tier IV Final skidsteers, Case offers a number of
heavy-duty features as standardequipment for optimal reliability intough working conditions. Thisincludes a heavy-duty 950 CCAbattery for consistent starts in coldweather, a more robust rear doorfor added protection, industry-exclusive standard front and sidelighting for working all hours ofthe day, a block heater and an easi-ly accessible remote jump-start —ensuring the machine will be readyto work throughout the year, dayand night, according to the manu-facturer.
EZ-EH Controls Allow Flexibility
The SR270 and SV300 offer an
EZ-EH (electro-hydraulic) setupmenu that features nine adjustablespeed and control sensitivity set-tings that can be adjusted on thefly. This allows the operator tomatch controls to their preferencefor comfort and greater productivi-ty. A single rocker switch allowsoperators to switch between theCase “H” operating pattern andISO pattern controls. New operatorhandles with industry-exclusivedetents improve controllability andfeathering by providing greaterresponsiveness to theactions/movement of the machine. The machine also features push-
ground drive, and an advancedinstrument cluster with program-mable security and automatic shut-down as options.
Extended WheelbaseIncreases Stability
The Case PowerStance wheel-base provides excellent curb clear-ance and greater stability duringlifting and hauling, which helpsretain more material in the bucket.That stability also improves opera-tor confidence when working onvaried terrain. Additional counter-weights can further improve stabil-ity and performance while alsoincreasing the rated operatingcapacity by 100 lbs. (45 kg).
Comfort for the OperatorLike other skid steers from
Case, the SR270 and SV300 offera wide cab that is fully sealed andpressurized against noise, dust andfumes. The cab-forward designcombines with ultra-narrow wireside screens to provide 360-degreevisibility and excellent site linesdown to the bucket edge/curblines. A large, rounded rear win-dow improves rear visibility.Standard heavy-duty front and sidelights, along with a skylight, fur-ther improve all-around visibility.The lowest step and entry thresh-old in the industry makes it easyfor the operator to get in and out ofthe cab. The machine also featuresan optional radio and upgraded cli-mate controls for optimal comfort.
Maintenance Made EasyThe engine, filters and fill points
are all located at the rear of themachine for quick access. The bat-tery is now housed behind its ownside-entry panel at the rear of themachine for easy access and serv-ice. Both the SR270 and SV300feature Case’s easy-tilt cab for con-venient access to the drivetraincompartment. Hydraulic quickcouplers allow operators to quicklychange attachments from the com-fort of the cab, while connect underpressure (CUP) manifolds requireno tools to connect or disconnecthydraulic lines.

ing, this one is even more so,Thurmond said.“This one has been as normally
complicated as all the other arenaswe’ve done,” he said. “There are somany moving parts. They operatemore like machines than buildings.So many things have to talk to eachother. The systems within them arehighly complicated. A high level ofattention to detail is needed.”

Not since construction of the City Centernearly a decade ago has Las Vegas seen aproject the scope of the Las Vegas Arena.
Nine States Express Concernfor Future Infrastructure JobsNine states — Colorado, Connecticut,
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,Pennsylvania, Vermont, and West Virginia— have expressed concern over the feasibil-ity of future transportation infrastructureprojects totaling more than $1.8 billion ifCongress does not act before May 31.ARTBA expects more states will make sim-ilar announcements as the deadline drawsnearer.Last year, before a last-ditch effort by
members of Congress led to an extension ofMAP-21, DOT officials in 35 states publiclystated that they would be impacted by theprecarious HTF situation.“It’s déjà vu all over again as Yogi Berra
would say,” according to ARTBA President& CEO Pete Ruane. “This is one of the mosteasily avoidable crises because Congress hasknown the May deadline was coming forabout eight months. Yet, here we are againflirting with another economic meltdown inthe peak of the construction season,” he
added.“The continued uncertainty with the
Highway Trust Fund has real world, nega-tive impacts as state governments begin cut-ting back on their construction plans becausethey don’t know if the funding will be thereto pay the bills a few months from now,”Ruane said. “This, in turn, prevents privatesector companies from hiring workers andmaking major capital investments such aspurchasing equipment, both of which arekey to bolstering economic activity.“The clock is on the field. There are 34
legislative calendar days left in the Senateand just 22 days in the House,” Ruane said.“It’s time for Congress and the President toshow they can govern and provide a perma-nent funding solution for America’s highwayand transit program.”For more information, visit

Terex Celebrates 70th Anniversary of Digger Derrick LineFor 70 years, utility profession-
als have used Terex digger derrickson power grid construction andmaintenance projects to quicklyand efficiently bore holes and setpoles in the ground. Established in1945 with the advent of the Tel-E-lect digger derrick, today the com-pany’s product line includes theTerex Commander 4000, 5000 and6000 digger derricks, as well as theTerex General 65, 80 and 95 mod-els. Terex digger derricks are idealfor use in electric, utility infrastruc-ture (power line and transmission)and telecommunication applica-tions, including digging holes,hoisting and setting utility polesand lifting other jobsite materials.“We are truly honored to be cel-
ebrating Tel-E-lect’s 70th anniver-sary this year,” said Terex UtilitiesVice President of Sales andMarketing, Jim Lohan. “Since1945, the utility industry has seenits share of good and bad times,and through it all, Terex has beenright there with its customers, pro-viding the right equipment solu-tions for their utility jobsite chal-
lenges.”Tel-E-lect digger derricks were
first engineered and built by LeroyC. Lindquist, owner of theMinnetonka ManufacturingCompany, which manufacturedparts for the Telephone andElectric (Tel-E-lect) utility marketsin Hopkins, Minn. At the time,Lindquist worked withNorthwestern Bell TelephoneCompany to develop a machinerun by power take-off (PTO) on atruck’s transmission to dig holesfor telephone poles. The first Tel-E-lect trucks utilized the truck’sdifferential to mechanically turn anauger, which was suspended fromthe end of an A-frame boom and
was raised and lowered by thetruck winch line to drill a hole. The 1950’s and 1960’s saw
three Tel-E-lect digger derrickproduct innovations introducedthat are still in use today — theRite-Way auger storage bracket,pole grabbing (PG) winch and thehydraulic collector block. With thehydraulic collector block, diggerderricks could, for the first time,rotate continuously and withoutrestriction making them a muchmore versatile machine. TheTelecon (TELelect ECONomy)was introduced allowing a diggerto be mounted on a smaller, lighterand more maneuverable chassis.The Commander I Series digger
derrick was developed featuringstrong box-constructed booms andpowerful dual lift cylinders, a con-figuration so sturdy and reliablethat it is still used as the standardtoday. Also, the company devel-oped and introduced the first fiber-glass third section built to elimi-nate pin-on third sections. In the 1970’s, Tel-E-lect
opened manufacturing facilities inWatertown and Huron, S.D., andby the early 1980’s, the companyhad established its corporateheadquarters in Watertown. In1988, Simon Engineering PLCpurchased Tel-E-lect, and thecompany became known asSimon-Telelect Inc. The company
expanded its product offerings in1992 with the acquisition of Hi-Ranger aerial devices fromWaukesha, Wis. Terex purchasedTel-E-lect from Simon Engineeringin 1997, which became the founda-tion for Terex Utilities, a businessunit of Terex Corporation.“We know that our customers’
secret to being successful on anyjob is to equip crews with the rightequipment to match the applica-tion. Our products are steeped inthe traditions of the people whouse our equipment to build theworld’s power and communicationgrid — hard-working and inven-tive,” said Lohan. “The Terexapproach continues to be focusedon providing customers with state-of-the-art equipment solutions thathelp them get each and every proj-ect done safely, quickly and at thelowest cost of ownership.”For more information, visit

Rising Concerns...
Injuries on the Rise for Troubled Seattle Tunnel ProjectBy Martha BellisleASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE (AP) The four iron workersrecently hurt when a wall of rebar gave wayduring construction of a tunnel under Seattleare among a growing number of workplaceinjuries the massive project has seen since2012 — injuries that have resulted in almost$1 million in workers’ compensation claims,according to state occupational safety figures.Those hurt included a worker whose hand
was crushed when he was changing the tun-nel-boring machine’s cutting tool, anotherwho severely injured a knee in a fall and oth-ers who suffered chemical burns. Some claims from the Alaskan Way
Viaduct replacement project totaled severalhundred dollars while others were for trau-matic injuries that resulted in medical billsrunning tens of thousands of dollars, accord-ing to a spreadsheet of claims provided toThe Associated Press by state regulators. In fact, more workers were injured in
2014 than the two previous years combined,state safety figures show, though the con-tractor reported a lower total number ofwork hours than the previous year.
Seattle Tunnel Partners won the bid todesign and build the downtown tunnel, andkey to the $3.1 billion project is the giant bor-ing device Bertha, which began drilling inJuly 2013 but broke down in December 2013. Work has continued as crews tried to
reach and repair Bertha, and the number ofinjuries has increased, an AP review found. At least 117 workers injured at the project
between 2012 and the end of 2014 resultedin an estimated $1 million worth of workers’compensation claims, according to data col-lected by the state Division of OccupationalSafety and Health and released to the APthrough a public records request. The agencydid not have complete claim amounts for theend of 2014 so that total will increase. It alsodid not have data for 2015. Dallas Delay of the Seattle/King County
Building and Construction Trades Councilsaid in an email that the tunnel contractoronly started safety meetings with workers’groups in January 2014 and Seattle TunnelPartners “does not have a culture of safety’’and that the contractor looks “to disciplineinstead of fixing the hazards.’’ “We will not tolerate putting our mem-
bers, nor any others on the project site, at
risk,’’ Delay said in a statement. Seattle Tunnel Partners said in a state-
ment: “Our safety program focuses on creat-ing safe work conditions and eliminatingunsafe work practices and at-risk workbehaviors.’’
Laura Newborn, spokeswoman of theWashington State Department ofTransportation, said the safety of the public,its employees and workers is its top priority. But workers’ compensation data shows
injuries are on the rise. Eleven workers filed claims for injuries in
2012 and 42 filed in 2013. Claims jumped to63 in 2014, according to the state safetyagency.
The state workers’ compensation programhad paid $733,265 in claims as of Jan. 1,2015, and had estimated the claims wouldcost $964,920 once each one is completed,according to data provided by ElaineFischer, an agency spokeswoman. The totalwill go up again when the newer claims arecalculated, Fischer said. Seattle Tunnel Partners listed 29 injuries
when it filled out its 2013 OSHA form. Thatwas lower than the 42 workers’ compensa-tion claims for 2013 because OSHA onlyrequires the project to report injuries thatwere serious enough to cause the employeeto take time off or move to a different posi-tion. The report said its 245 employeesworked 681,117 hours that year. Inspectors cited STP in 2013 and fined it
$3,600 after a chemical burn injury. InAugust 2014, another worker sufferedchemical burns and inspectors issued morecitations and a fine of $7,500. The inspectionreport said one of the violations was a repeatof the violation they were cited for in 2013,but had not been corrected.
