muddle through the economic downturn. “Both Republicans and Democrats
deserve a lot of credit for the new surfacetransportation law the President signedtoday. This law is going to restore publicconfidence in the federal highway and tran-sit investment program,” said ARTBAPresident and CEO Pete Ruane.“This wasn’t business as usual, just ‘rear-
ranging the deck chairs,’ adding pet pro-grams and throwing money at congressionalearmarks. The new law is truly a ‘good gov-ernment’ measure that makes the significantprogram reforms necessary to set the stagefor meaningful, transparent and accountablefederal transportation investments in thefuture.” The bill consolidates various transporta-
tion programs and reduces the number ofprograms by two-thirds. States will havemore flexibility on how they spend trans-portation aid. It also revamps rules on envi-ronmental studies of the potential impact ofhighway projects, with an aim toward cut-ting in half the time it takes to complete con-struction projects. And the measure containsan array of safety initiatives, includingrequirements that would make it more likelypassengers would survive a tour bus crash. “It doesn’t have everything,” Rep. John
Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the Transportationand Infrastructure Committee said. But “wewere able to do more with less and movetransportation for the nation forward.” The bill will spend about $100 billion on
federal highway programs over two years,
but puts off the politically tricky decision onhow to pay for them after that. The federal 18.4 cent-a-gallon gasoline
tax and 24.4 cent-a-gallon diesel tax are nolonger enough to pay for current spending onhighway and transit programs. And twocommissions and an array of private sectorexperts have said the United States should bespending about twice as much or more on itstransportation infrastructure as it does now. But Congress and the White House have
refused to discuss raising fuel taxes or analternative long-term source of money. The fuel taxes are not indexed for infla-
tion and haven’t been increased since 1993,so their buying power has steadily eroded.Also, cars and trucks today are more fuel-efficient and the number of miles driven hasflattened, resulting in less gas tax revenue.Since 2008, Congress has three times dippedinto the national general treasury to borrow atotal of $34.5 billion to keep transportationprograms going. Obama signed a one-week temporary
measure the evening of June 29, permittingthe highway and loan programs to continueuntil the full legislation reached his desk. “We have a bill that will boost this econo-
my. We have a bill that is supported by con-servatives and liberals, progressives andmoderates. I think it’s a great day,” said Sen.Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who led Senatenegotiations on the transportation portion ofthe package. Boxer estimated the bill would save about
1.8 million jobs by keeping aid for highwayand transit construction flowing to states and
create another 1 million jobs by using feder-al loan guarantees to leverage private sectorinvestment in infrastructure projects. Under the bill, interest rates of 3.4 percent
for subsidized Stafford loans for undergrad-uates will continue for another year, insteadof doubling for new loans beginning on July1 as scheduled by a law passed five yearsago to save money. Had the measure failed, interest rates
would have mushroomed to 6.8 percent for7.4 million students expected to get the loansover the coming year, adding an extra$1,000 to the average cost of each loan andantagonizing students — and their parents— four months from Election Day. The Democratic-led Senate sent the meas-
ure to Obama by a 74-19 vote, just minutesafter the Republican-run House approved it373-52. The unusual display of harmony, ina bitterly partisan year, signaled lawmakers’eagerness to claim credit for providing trans-portation jobs, to avert higher costs for stu-dents and their families and to avoid beingembarrassed had the effort run aground. “The law has no congressional earmarks,”
Ruane said. “It focuses federal dollars onmeeting critical national needs like efficientfreight movement and driving down thenumber of motor vehicle crashes that resultin unnecessary American deaths andinjuries. It eliminates, consolidates orstreamlines dozens of programs, giving stateand local governments more decision-mak-ing control. It opens the door to more privateinvestment in large, congestion-bustingtransportation projects. And, most impor-
tantly, it ushers in performance standardsand reporting requirements so that the publicwill now know how their federal transporta-tion dollars are being used and what kind ofreturn on investment they are receiving.” This year has seen the two parties mostly
drive each other’s plans for tax breaks andeconomic revival into a stalemate, althoughlawmakers have enacted bills retaining theSocial Security payroll tax cut for a year andrenewing a government agency that pro-motes U.S. exports. “It’s important for Congress to act, not
just talk about problems we have but to getthings done,” said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., achief House author of the transportationmeasure. All the no votes were cast by Republicans. The compromise ended up sprinkled with
unrelated nuggets dealing with Asian carp,roll-your-own tobacco and federal timberaid. But its most significant provisions dealtwith transportation and student aid. The final transportation measure dropped
a provision — which had drawn an Obamaveto threat — that would have forced gov-ernment approval of the controversialKeystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to theTexas coast. But it contains curbs on envi-ronmental reviews of transportation projects.Republicans sought those curbs in hopes ofcutting construction time almost in half. The bill consolidates federal transporta-
tion programs and gives states more flexibil-ity in spending money from Washington. Italso contains an array of safety initiatives
Key Components of the Highway Bill• Reauthorizes transportation programs
through September 2014 at a cost of more than$100 billion. About 80 percent of that goes tofederal highway programs, 20 percent to masstransit.
• Retains the federal taxes — 18.4 cents agallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel —that have been unchanged since 1993.Because the gas taxes are inadequate to pay forthe bill, it includes other savings such as $9.4billion from changing the method of calculatingpension plan liabilities, $10.8 billion fromincreasing Pension Benefit GuarantyCorporation premiums and $2.7 billion fromraising premiums in the flood insurance pro-gram. It also saves $100 million by ending aloophole where machines selling roll-your-own
cigarettes are not subject to tobacco taxes.Those savings also make up for the costs in thestudent loan bill.
• Ensures that 80 percent of Clean Water ActViolation fines paid by BP and others heldresponsible for the Deepwater Horizon oil spillgoes to Gulf Coast states.
• Gives states more flexibility over how theyspend federal highway aid and consolidates thenumber of highway programs by two-thirds. Italso expands a loan guarantee program aimedat increasing private investment in infrastructureprojects.
• Leaves out several items sought by HouseRepublicans, including government approval ofthe Keystone XL oil pipeline and a stop to theEnvironmental Protection Agency regulating ash
generated by coal-fired plants. • Speeds up environmental impact studies on
highway and transit construction projects andeffectively reduces spending on “transportationenhancements” such as bike paths and side-walks, with the agreement of Senate Democrats.The Senate also acquiesced to House demandsthat $1.4 billion for general land and water con-servation be stripped from the bill.
• Extends for one year a federal timber sub-sidy program that provides $346 million to 700counties in 41 states. Almost one-third of thatgoes to Oregon.
• Directs the Army Corps of Engineers tospeed up efforts to protect the Great Lakes fromAsian carp.

Atlas Copco Upgrades Silence Kit on SmartROC Drill Rigs
Atlas Copco has announced the availabil-ity of a newly upgraded silence kit for itsSmartROC T35 and T40 surface drill rigs.The original kit was introduced in 2005, con-sisting of a distinctive hood enclosing thedrill rod. The new silence kit, developed incooperation with experienced users, reducesthe noise generated from the feed by an addi-tional 12 dB(A).
Key improvements include a double layerof noise absorbent material together with anupgraded aluminum chassis that has greaterresistance to drill rod vibration, according tothe manufacturer.
Without the silence kit, the noise level ofthe SmartROC T35 and T40 is 127 dB(A) atpeak power. With the upgraded silence kitadded, tests show that the noise level dropsto 115 dB(A), providing an improved work-ing environment at urban construction sites
and meeting current demands for lowernoise levels. From an operational standpoint,this means that site personnel positioned atthe recommended safety distance from therig during operation can converse with col-leagues without having to shout, can use aphone, and more easily hear other noisearound them while still keeping their ear pro-tection in place.
Besides better noise dampening, the newkit also is more functional than its predeces-sor. It has four access hatches, with a fifth atthe very top of the feed. These can be openedtwo at a time at the touch of a button, allow-ing access for rod handling, inspection ofcoupling sleeves or service. In addition, thekit also has been equipped with an improvedlighting system.
For more information, call 800/732-6762or visit www.atlascopco.us.
The new silence kit is supplied as an option with the new SmartROC T35 and T40drill rig, improving the on-site environment and meeting increasingly strict drillingnoise regulations.

Congress PassesHighway Jobs Billincluding requirements aimed at enhancing bus safety. And itmakes advocates of bike and pedestrian paths compete formoney with other transportation projects. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administra-
tion was glad Congress acted “before middle class familiespay the price for inaction.” He said Obama will keep pressingfor approval of more of his job-creating proposals from lastyear, to hire teachers, police officers and firefighters and fortax credits to companies that hire new workers. Most of the overall measure was financed by extending
federal taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel for two more years.Those levies, unchanged for nearly two decades, are 18.4cents a gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel and nowfall well short of fully financing highway programs, whichthey were designed to do. About $20 billion would be raised over the next decade by
reducing tax deductions for companies’ pension contributionsand increasing the fees they pay to federally insure their pen-sion plans. In return, a formula was changed to, in effect, letcompanies apportion less money for their pensions and toprovide less year-to-year variation in those amounts. To raise other revenue, the government will start charging
interest on subsidized Stafford loans no more than six yearsafter undergraduates begin their studies. Today no interest ischarged until after graduation, no matter how long that takes. In addition, a loophole was tightened to make it harder for
businesses with roll-your-own cigarette machines to classifythe tobacco they sell as pipe tobacco — which is taxed at alower rate than cigarette tobacco. The change is expected toraise nearly $100 million. Some federal workers would be allowed to work part-time
as they gradually retire, saving the government moneybecause the workers would receive only partial salaries andretirement annuities. As often happens with bills that are certain to win the pres-
ident’s signature, the measure became a catch-all for otherunrelated provisions. One would order the government to accelerate work on a
plan for preventing Asian carp, which devour other species,from entering the Great Lakes from the Mississippi River. Itdrew opposition from Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., and some otherlawmakers arguing that blocking the fish could interfere withshipping, but the Senate turned their objections aside. Federal flood insurance programs that protect 5.6 million
households and businesses were extended, allowing higherpremiums and limiting subsidies for vacation homes to helpaddress a shortfall in the program caused by claims from2005’s Hurricane Katrina. The measure also steers 80 percent out of billions in Clean
Water Act penalties paid by BP and others for the 2010Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion to the five Gulf stateswhose beaches and waters were soiled by the disaster. Themoney would have otherwise gone to federal coffers. Federal timber subsidies worth $346 million would be dis-
tributed for another year to rural counties, while other fundswould be steered to rural school districts. The bill also easesrestrictions that force most American food aid to be shippedabroad on U.S.-flagged vessels.
The Industry RespondsThe Road Connection
Lisa Carson, marketing manager of KPI-JCIand Astec Mobile Screens, The RoadConnection’s primary sponsor, said after threetumultuous years of partisan bickering, the com-pany is pleased to see Congress making stridesin protecting and advancing America’s infra-structure and economic growth.
“We are proud to say that advocates like TheRoad Connection and other industry organiza-tions have made a difference by gettingCongress to see that this is not an issue theycan push aside,” Carson said. “While themeasure is far from perfect, it gives our contrac-tors and dealers the stability they need to contin-ue their operations and provide jobs to millionsof Americans. As an American manufacturer,we know that this bill will help stimulate equip-ment sales, which will be used to fix our crum-bling roads and bridges.”
At the same time applauding Congress’action, Carson also cautioned supporters thatThe Road Connection’s work is “far from over.”
“This new bill gives us time to ramp up ourefforts for 2014, which will come sooner thanwe think,” Carson said. “If we want to improveour nation’s infrastructure grade from a D- toacceptable levels, we are going to need seriousinvestments that can be promised for more thantwo years at a time.”
Associated General Contractors of America
The chief executive officer of the AssociatedGeneral Contractors of America, Stephen E.Sandherr, issued the following statement in reac-tion to Congressional passage of a 27-monthhighway and transit measure:
“The passage of the 27-month transportationbill ends nearly three years worth of temporaryextensions that have made it increasingly diffi-cult for state and local officials to plan for, fundand execute major new infrastructure projects.The new highway and transit bill should allowconstruction to finally begin on many long-delayed, yet vital, projects. In addition, this billwill make it easier for a host of long-contemplat-ed projects to move through a regulatoryreview process that until now was hopelesslyinefficient.
“The members of Congress that worked sohard to craft this measure understand that thebenefits to our economy from infrastructureinvestments are too important to be underminedby legitimate disagreements over a handful ofpolicy questions. Indeed passing this measure is
a significant victory for construction workers,commuters, shippers and the economy.
“Today’s legislative accomplishments must beseen, however, as the start of a broader effortto address the long-term funding challenges thatstill threaten the federal transportation program.That is why we look forward to resuming workon an even-longer term transportation measurethat includes key revenue reforms as soon asCongress returns later next month.”
Associated Equipment DistributorsUpon the measure’s passage, AED President
and CEO Toby Mack and 2012 NationalChairman Larry Glynn, president and owner ofCMW Equipment in St. Louis, released the fol-lowing statements.
“After years of inaction, we are pleased tosee the House and Senate work together in abipartisan manner to complete a new multi-yearhighway bill that restores certainty to federalinfrastructure programs and lays a solid founda-tion for America's future economic growth,”said Mack.
“The legislation not only maintains criticalinvestments in our nation’s deteriorating surfacetransportation infrastructure, but it also makessignificant programmatic improvements that willrestore public confidence in the federal high-way program, paving the way for future discus-sions about how to restore the long-term viabilityof the Highway Trust Fund and increase invest-ment.
“Congratulations and thanks to House andSenate leadership, Sen. Boxer, and Rep. Mica,and members of the conference committee fortheir dogged persistence. Thanks also to all theAED members who participated in this processand made it clear to their lawmakers that inac-tion on a highway bill was unacceptable.”
“This is a long-awaited, positive developmentfor the construction equipment industry.Contractors around the country have been onlife support over the last few years. This bill willprovide much needed certainty for contractors,dealers, and suppliers,” said Glynn.
“Equipment distributors sell the equipment thatbuilds and maintains this country’s infrastructure.And building that infrastructure createsAmerican jobs. Ninety-five to ninety-nine per-cent of the equipment I sell at CMW is manu-factured at factories in the United States. A newhighway bill will encourage equipment salesand stimulate manufacturing here in this coun-try.”
BILL from page 10
By Judy LinASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California lawmakersapproved billions of dollars July 6 in construction financingfor the initial segment of the nation’s first dedicated high-speed rail line connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco. The move marked a major political victory for
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown and the Obama administra-tion. Both have promoted bullet trains as job generators andclean transportation alternatives. The bill authorizes the state to begin selling $4.5 billion in
voter-approved bonds that includes $2.6 billion to build aninitial 130-mi. (209 km) stretch of the high-speed rail line inthe Central Valley. That will allow the state to collect anoth-er $3.2 billion in federal funding that could have beenrescinded if lawmakers failed to act July 6. Brown pushed for the massive infrastructure project to
accommodate expected growth in the nation’s most popu-lous state, which now has 37 million people. He said theproject is sorely needed to create jobs in a region with high-er-than-average unemployment. Members of the state Senate voted 21-16 along party lines
after intense lobbying by Brown, Democratic leaders andlabor groups. The bill, which passed the state Assembly on
July 5, now heads to Brown for his signature. “The Legislature took bold action today that gets
Californians back to work and puts California out in frontonce again,” Brown said in a statement.The first segment of the line will run from Madera to
Bakersfield. The final cost of the completed project fromLos Angeles to San Francisco would be $68 billion. Republicans blasted the Senate decision, citing the state’s
ongoing budget problems. “It’s unfortunate that the majority would rather spend bil-
lions of dollars that we don’t have for a train to nowhere thankeep schools open and harmless from budget cuts,” Sen.Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach, said in a statement. The Bay Area Council, a group of business leaders from
the San Francisco Bay and Silicon Valley areas, cheered thevote. The council backed the 2008 statewide bond measureregarding the rail line and had been working to sway legis-lators in support of the project in recent weeks. “This is a courageous step forward for California’s
future,” said its president and CEO, Jim Wunderman. In recent days, Democratic leaders included more funding
to improve existing rail systems in an effort to entice supportfor the bullet train. The bill now allocates a total of $1.9 bil-lion in bonds for regional rail improvements in Northern andSouthern California. The upgrades include electrifying
Caltrain, a San Jose-San Francisco commuter line, andimproving Metrolink commuter lines in Southern California. Dan Richard, chairman of the California High-Speed Rail
Authority, which is managing the project, said Californiawould have lost billions of dollars in federal aid if the Senatefails to pass the bill before adjourning for a monthlongrecess. California entered a contract that called for the feder-al government to provide money for building the CentralValley segment if the state also put up its share, he said. “Not only will California be the first state in the nation to
build a high-speed rail system to connect our urban centers,we will also modernize and improve rail systems at the localand regional level,” Richard said. California was able to secure more federal aid than
expected after Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin turned downmoney. Steinberg, the Senate leader, said the vote signaled the
“biggest, boldest public works project in decades inCalifornia.” He likened it to the state water project that wasfirst undertaken by Brown’s father, Gov. Pat Brown, in thelate 1950s. The massive network of dams, reservoirs andcanals is still used today. The bill approved July 6 authorizes the state to sell a por-
tion of a $10 billion high-speed rail bond that votersapproved in 2008 under Proposition 1A.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Some are calling itthe “Rampture,” others “Ramp Jam.” Butthere’s no disagreement that Los Angeles’next big freeway shutdown will be a longand serious headache. Saturday drivers in west Los Angeles will
be the first to feel the effects of the project, inwhich eight ramps connecting WilshireBoulevard and Interstate 405 — one of thenation’s busiest streets and one of its busiestfreeways — will be demolished and rebuilt. The major shutdown is the next phase of
the Sepulveda Pass Improvements Projectand one of several this summer that couldmake for an especially rough season for LosAngeles area travelers, commuters andtourists. Work crews began the planned 90-day
shutdown of the first two ramps, connectingwestbound Wilshire and northbound I-405,late June 22, with the rest closing in phasesin the coming months. “There’s no end to the misery after 90
days,” Dave Sotero, a spokesman of the LosAngeles County MetropolitanTransportation Authority, told the LosAngeles Times. “It continues.” Weather and other conditions permitting,
work will continue 24 hours a day, sevendays a week until the project is finished. “There is no way of sugar-coating it: there
will be significant traffic impacts,” wroteSteve Hymon on the official MTA blog. Even on a normal day, the ramps repre-
sent one of the worst traffic grinds in theregion and a spot of frequent accidents. “The status quo in the area has been pret-
ty much horrible for as long as I can recall —way too many cars competing for space
while trying to enter and exit the freeway,”Hymon said. “The reconstruction of theramps should greatly improve the way thattraffic flows in the area, but there’s no get-ting around the pain that ramp reconstructionwill inevitably cause.” “Ramp Jam” is considerably smaller in
size than last summer’s so-called“Carmageddon,” which saw the shutdownof the entire 405 while part of a bridge wastorn down. But while the “Carmageddon”lasted just a weekend, this one will take up toa year, and its long-term effects are bound tobe far greater. Transit officials are following the
approach that made “Carmageddon” a majorsuccess — flooding the public with warn-ings and reminders, urging drivers to findalternate routes and ride-sharing opportuni-ties and assuring them that it will all be well
worth it once the project is finished. Southern California drivers, including
some famous ones, have joined in, warningfellow motorists on social media about thetroubled spot. “LA west side drivers — remember that
the Wilshire ramps off the 405 are closingtomorrow,” actor William Shatner tweetedJune 22. Like “Carmageddon,” officials used over-
the-top Biblical references in the run-up tothe project, dubbing it the “Rampture.” Butas the project grew closer, the less menacing“Ramp Jam” came into use. Both projects are part of a $1 billion over-
haul of a 10-mi. (16 km) stretch of Interstate405 through the Sepulveda Pass that will endwith the construction of a high-occupancyvehicle lane on the freeway’s northboundside.

Heavy Equipment Goes Into Action to Clear LandslideKiewit also was given the job of addressingother trouble spots along SR-14, includingan active slide at mile post 17.
The first heavy construction equipmentbegan arriving at the site on March 2. About25 oversized tractor trailer loads and 10 reg-ular loads of equipment were trucked to thesite over the next two weeks. Kiewit’s Cat5130 excavator with a 13-cu. yd. (9.9 cu m)bucket was the first to arrive on the site. Ittook 11 oversized tractor trailer loads to haulit there and required one 100-ton (91 t) truckcrane to assemble it. In addition to the largeexcavator, Kiewit also brought in variousexcavators, rock trucks, dozers, articulatingtrucks, front end loaders, road graders andcranes. In all, approximately 25 oversizedtractor trailer loads and 40 regular loads ofequipment was hauled to the site and assem-bled. Once the equipment arrived and wasassembled, the contractor began breaking upand hauling away debris from the site.
There were a lot of unknowns at thatpoint. They didn’t know what they weregoing to encounter as far as rocks and boul-ders. The landslide contained many largerocks, some as large as buildings or 18-
wheelers, which had to be broken up in orderto haul them to the fill area. A Komatsu PC400 track hoe with a 10,000 lb. rock hammerwas used to break up the rocks to meet proj-ect specifications.
Keeping the road in its previous locationwould have required moving one millioncubic yards (764,555 cu m) of material.Designers and the contractor decided thatmoving the road slightly north would requirethe removal of less than half that amount:400,000 cu. yds. (305,822 cu m) of material.To put that into perspective, that is the equiv-alent of 40,000 regular dump truck loads.Another way to think of it is, if all that earthwere placed on a football field, the debriswould be 190 ft. (58 m) tall.
Moving the Project ForwardUDOT kept an online weekly update so
folks could keep informed about theprogress they were making on the project.The following gives the highlights of thestory:
A couple of weeks after the equipmentwas set up, work started on building pio-neering roads to access the top of the land-slide. Kiewit used the Cat 5130 excavator,
Cat D9 and D10 bulldozers, Cat 777 trucksand other heavy machinery.
They tackled the landslide from both theeast and west sides of the road as well as atthe foot of the slide area near the creek.Workers built access roads to move equip-ment to different areas of the slide so they
could access and remove additional materialand begin construction of the temporaryroadway.
Besides replacing and improving the sec-tion of SR-14 affected by the landslide andimplementing mitigation measures for that
LANDSLIDE from page 1
Kiewit has worked with eight subcontractors on the project, with more than 60workers on the site during the peak of work activities.
see LANDSLIDE page 50
At the main slide site, crews worked day and night excavating the area using theCat 5130 and 777 trucks, with the goal of having the roadway open by June.
SECT IONPaving
GOMACO’s Paver-Mounted GSI a Paving Contractor’s ToolGOMACO is experiencing an
increased demand for the new paver-mounted GSI (GOMACOSmoothness Indicator) as a tool forpaving contractors checking theirrideability on-the-go. GOMACOintroduced new hardware and soft-ware for this paving contractor’s toolat World of Concrete 2012 in LasVegas. The paver-mounted GSI wasdisplayed on a GOMACO GP-2400two-track slipform paver.
The new paver-mounted GSI willfeature new durable hardware with awider, 7 in. (17.8 cm) diagonaltouch-screen monitor and a newadjustable mount for achieving theoptimum viewing angle. A singleCAN-based connection is all that isnow needed to the screen, reducingcable runs and connections whileadding versatility to the adjustablescreen mount. WiFi, Bluetooth andUSB connectivity also will be addedto the new model to provide wirelessprinting and wireless downloadingand uploading capabilities from alaptop. Behind the scene softwareenhancements will include easiersetup and troubleshooting guides, aswell as new user-friendly screens fordata visualization.
The paver-mounted GSI providesimmediate smoothness readings,right out of the paver, and displaysthese readings on the touch-screenmonitor so they can be viewedinstantly. The GSI traces the slab andtakes smoothness readings simulta-neously from three different sensorson each trace. The GSI can trace upto eight wheel tracks, for a total offour lanes in a single pass.
The GSI trace over the new slabwill provide smoothness readings inmultiple indexes, including the GSInumber, IRI, PI (profile index basedon the California profilograph), or itcan be exported as an .erd file to cre-ate several other indexes. The index-es are derived from the true profile ofthe surface, determined by the datacollected. These indexes are viewed
and monitored on the GSI’s touch-screen monitor. The on-the-go sur-face smoothness informationincludes station and footage docu-mentation for later reference ofbump and smoothness locations. TheGSI’s bump alarm can be set withproject parameters. If a bump occursduring paving that is out of parame-ter, a bump warning is displayed andthe bump’s station location ismarked on the graph for exact refer-ence.
The GSI’s feedback allows on-the-go adjustments to fine-tune thepaving operation. Contractorsinstantly know how changes to anumber of different paving variablesdirectly affect the quality of the ride.Instant results eliminates having towait until the cured concrete hasbeen profilographed to see how thevariables affected ride.
The GSI also is available as amobile unit, providing the samesmoothness monitoring and qualityassurance as a paver-mounted GSI.It also can be outfitted withGSITools, GOMACO’s softwareapplication that performs post pro-cessing of exported GSI trace data.With GSITools, the GSI can be usedin a variety of applications, includingthe Grade Analysis Tool, which canbuild a profile of the grade and esti-mate the concrete yield of the proj-ect.
The GSI Survey Tool is a newapplication. A GSI trace over anexisting roadway can provide datafor a 3D model in an overlay appli-cation. The GSI will collect the datawith multiple traces (up to eight) in asingle pass. This single pass with theGSI on the project totally eliminatesthe tedious handwork of two surveyengineers and provides an accuratevisualization of an existing roadwayfor a 3D model to be used for string-less paving of an overlay project.

Terex CR662RM Features Improved Fuel EfficiencyPowered by the Cummins QSB6.7 turbocharged diesel
engine, the new Terex CR662RM RoadMix material trans-fer vehicle and paver meets stringent Tier IVi (Stage III B)emissions standards. Offering the same 260 hp (191 kW)output as the previous model, the machine’s new power unitis 5 percent more fuel efficient to extend operating intervalsbetween tank refills. The engine features a cooled exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) system with diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) anddiesel particulate filter (DPF) to substantially reduce emis-sions. Regeneration of the DPF occurs automatically withoutaffecting machine performance. A new cooling systemarrangement features larger radiator core size and improvedairflow to increase ambient operating temperatures to 120F(48.9C). To offset increased space requirements of the Tier IVi
engine components, Terex engineers developed a new low-profile hood design that slopes downward away from theoperator to improve working visibility of the hopper. Theradiator is integrated into the hood design, so the cleanest airpossible is drawn for cooling engine components, so themachine runs cooler. Components from the paver’s fumerecovery system have been moved from underneath theoperator’s platform to under the hood, lowering operatingnoise levels and improving operator comfort. Measured at 320 by 240 pixels, a new, high resolution dis-
play with backlit screen and 15-bit color makes it easy foroperators to see the display. This large display helps to alertoperators of underlying issues with machine performance,and the system expands diagnostic capabilities over previous
models, according to the manufacturer. It also includes setup and calibration screens for use in
configuring and calibrating the machine performance. The Terex CR662RM RoadMix maximizes utilization
rates by operating both as a material transfer vehicle (MTV)and paver. Machine design allows contractors to quicklyswitch between the machine’s conveyor system and screedwithin a matter of hours. When equipped as an MTV, theCR662RM delivers continuous, non-contact and off-setpaving capabilities with its swiveling conveyor that swings55 degrees to the left or right of center. As a paver, the CR662RM features two, 5-ft. (1.5 m) long
spread auger sections that are driven by two independentvariable-speed outboard motors, which eliminate the centergearbox drive to reduce the occurrences of centerline segre-gation. Contractors can equip the CR662RM with one ofthree different screed models — the diesel or electric TerexFastach 10, electric Terex VersaScreed, and the electric or
diesel Terex Stretch 20. This 10-ft. (3 m) paver deliversmainline paving widths reaching 30 ft. (9.1 m) at depths ofup to 12 in. (30.5 cm).Delivering fast truck exchanges, the CR662RM
RoadMix’s variable-pitch in-hopper auger design offers highmaterial throughput. Pitch spacing — transitioning from 10in. (25.4 cm) in the front to 11 in. (27.9 cm) and then to 12in. (30.5 cm) in the rear — aggressively channels material tothe rear of the machine. This auger design helps to boost pro-duction capabilities — up to 900 tons per hour (816 t perhour) when equipped as a paver and in excess of 500 tons perhour (454 t per hour) as an MTV. Combined with the aggres-sive pitch, the auger’s constant-diameter continues toreblend 100 percent of the material to virtually eliminatematerial and thermal segregation, according to the manufac-turer. Whether equipped as a paver or an MTV, the CR662RM
features the Terex Smartrac rubber track drive system formore reliable operation. Oscillating bogie wheel assembliescombine with the system’s frictionally driven rubber tracksto automatically apply the correct tension, whether movingforward or in reverse. The self-tensioning system does notover tension the track, significantly extending its life. Therubber track drive spreads the machine’s 53,000 lb. (24,040kg) over a wide area, resulting in a low ground contact pres-sure of less than 12 psi. This eliminates parking and bridge-crossing issues common with conventional wheel-driventransfer vehicles.For more information, call 405/787-6020 or visit

Doosan Portable Power has released four models inits Tier IV Interim (Tier IVi) mobile generator portfo-lio. The G150, G190, G240 and G325 mobile genera-tors are new to the lineup of 10 Doosan models rang-ing from 25 to 570 kVA and became available Dec. 1,2011. These models complete Tier IVi development from
Doosan Portable Power for products with power rat-ings greater than 174 hp (130 kW) and have beendesigned for the implementation of Tier IV final (TierIVf) technologies effective in 2014. In addition,Doosan is finalizing the development of new G70, G85and G125 models to meet the 2012 Tier IVi regulationsfor the respective power ratings. New G25 andG45 models will meet Tier IVf regulationsrequired in 2013.“Doosan Portable Power has been devel-
oping emissions related product innova-tions since 1996 with dedicated engineeringand design,” said Todd Howe, manager ofglobal generator products of Doosan PortablePower. “We proudly premiered the world’sfirst 2011-compliant Tier IVi generator at ConExpo-ConAGG. These new Tier IVi models have been substan-tially redesigned from their predecessors to incorporatenumerous customer focused innovations in addition toachieving emissions compliance.”All features of the new generators are designed to maxi-
mize the operator experience. Controls are simplified foreasy operation, connection panels are made more accessible
for improved safety and convenience, andsound levels are reduced between 2 to 5 dBA to ensure
quieter operation. Longer runtime — exceeding 24 hoursat any load factor — also is achieved with these new gener-ators due to increased onboard fuel capacity. The operator-preferred analog control panel has been
enhanced with large, brightly lit meters for at-a-glance mon-itoring. And the onboard engine diagnostic display panelfrom Doosan now includes the controls and indicatorsrequired to operate and maintain the aftertreatment regener-
ation system that is a key component of the newTier IVi technology to meet engine emissions. New features, such as the addition of a voltage
selector switch on the G240 and G325 simplify theset-up and connection of the machines on thejob site. Dual frequency capability comes stan-dard on the Tier IV generator portfolio toexpand the versatility of the machines to power50Hz applications with the simple flip of aswitch, according to the manufacturer.
All current Doosan mobile generator models withTier II or Tier III engines continue to be available
through the use of the federal Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) Transition Program for EquipmentManufacturers (TPEM) — commonly known as theFlexibility Provision — until each successive tier change iscomplete. All Doosan Portable Power generators are designed and
manufactured in America at the Doosan Portable Powerglobal headquarters in Statesville, N.C., an ISO 9001 facili-ty.For more information, visit doosanportablepower.com.
The G150, G190, G240 and G325 mobile generatorsare new to the lineup of 10 Doosan modelsranging from 25 to 570 kVA and became avail-able Dec. 1, 2011.

Workers Keep Brisk Pace to Reopen Utah’s SR-14section, the Restore 14 project also address-es other smaller slides and erosion issuesbetween mileposts 7 and 17. At milepost 9.7crews were tasked with rebuilding the end oftunnel under SR-14 and restoring the shoul-der, mitigating an active slide at milepost 10,and installing a wall to repair an active slideat milepost 17.By the first week of April, workers were
moving an average of 900 cu. yds. (688 cum) of material an hour, though they expect-ed that rate to increase significantly as theproject progressed. Once they were able toget the haul roads created, and get a systemin place, the work went more smoothly,depending on the material. Crews workingon a drop structure in the water channel atthe west end of the project placed 1,400 yds.(1,280 m) of rip-rap to protect the structure.Meanwhile, workers on the west end of theslide started seeding the top and seeding andmulching along the cut slopes of the mainslide area. Pre-emptive measures also were needed
to stabilize the hillside farther west at MP 7.5to prevent future landslides. At the mainslide site, crews worked day and night exca-vating the area using the Cat 5130 and 777trucks, with the goal of having the roadway
open by June. Workers prepared for theinstallation of an earth stabilizing wall.The excavated material from MP 10 was
used as fill for the stabilization wall at MP 8.The roadway at MP 17 is unstable and
continually moving. In order to stabilize theroadway in this location, construction crewswill install a 200-ft. (61 m) long soldier pilewall to keep the roadway in place.Much of the work on the landslide was
weather dependent. The construction teamwas ready to adjust production rates andcrew size to make up for lost time due toweather delays. Fortunately for the most partthe weather was on their side, and didn’t cre-ate many problems. They were shut downfor just a couple of days in late March due toabout a foot of snow.By the beginning week of May, the mass
excavation work was done, and the majorpieces of equipment that were utilized dur-ing excavation, including the 777 trucks,were demobilized and parked at the bottomof the canyon. While this marked a signifi-cant milestone on the project, there was stilla lot of work to do to get the road ready foropening. Construction of the 3,300 sq. ft. (306 sq
m) earth stabilizing wall was nearly com-plete. Crews set their sights on finalizing the
roadway grade and getting ready to placeroad base in preparation for paving activities.Specifications called for a hard packed dirtroad for motorists to go through byMemorial Day weekend, but due to theirproductivity, they were able to have a sectionof the road paved for the opening. Crews opened the road on May 24, and
had made more progress on paving than theyhad originally expected, so vehicles travel-ing through the canyon would have betteraccess. One small section near MP 7.5remained unpaved. Currently the road isopened only at night and on weekends. Thiswill continue to be the schedule now throughthe month of July.
The Challenges of GeologyDespite finishing initial pre-emptive stabi-
lization efforts in their original work con-tract, the mountain began to bulge out at MP7.5, west of the main slide. UDOT approvedadditional excavation to further reduce stressloads in this area. Currently workers arehauling out an additional 309,000 cu. yds.(236,247 cu m) of dirt and rock from theupper slopes across the road, amidst occa-sional rolling boulders from the excavation.Doing the work during the day ensures thesafety of workers and motorists and keeps
project costs down. Kiewit Infrastructure West is a subsidiary
of Kiewit Corporation. Kiewit is accus-tomed to challenges. One of North Americaslargest transportation contractors, they con-structed some of the most difficult and pic-turesque miles of the highway system,including sections through Arizona’s VirginRiver Canyon and Colorado’s GlenwoodCanyon, the Eisenhower Tunnel through theColorado Rockies, and the Fort McHenryTunnel beneath Baltimore Harbor.The company built more lane-miles of the
interstate highway system than any othercontractor, prompting Forbes magazine tocall the company’s founder, Peter Kiewit,The Colossus of Roads. Kiewit has worked with eight subcontrac-
tors on the project, with more than 60 work-ers on the site during the peak of work activ-ities. The project is scheduled for total com-pletion in September 2012, which will pro-vide more travel options for the folks whowork and live in the area, as well as thosewho are driving through to take in the viewsof this scenic byway.

Ancient Artifacts Found atPhoenix Construction SitePHOENIX (AP) Archaeologists said they
have found ancient artifacts at the Phoenixconstruction site of the Maricopa CountySheriff’s Office’s future headquarters. The Arizona Republic reported preserva-
tion experts believe pottery fragments foundby workers in May date as far back as 1,600years ago. Archaeologist Mark Hackbarth —whose firm, Logan Simpson Design, is con-tracted with the county to examine any find-ings — said the grindstones predate even theHohokam Indians, a tribe that once livedwhere downtown Phoenix is today. The fragments were likely from an era
known as the Red Mountain Phase,Hackbarth said. “That’s because there’s noway to archaeologically say that’s a tribe atthat time,” he told KPNX-TV. The fragments will eventually go to the
Pueblo Grand Museum for research andfuture exhibits. Laurene Montero, a city ofPhoenix archaeologist at the museum, calledthe possible Red Mountain period artifactsan exciting discovery. “It’s an early phase we don’t see too much
of. There are only a handful of sites we’veidentified that date from roughly 1 to 300
A.D.,” Montero said. “When they find it, it’spretty interesting.” Maricopa County spokeswoman Cari
Gerchick said that allowing archaeologists togather findings at the site at Sixth Avenueand Madison Street shouldn’t affect the con-struction deadline for the $93 million facili-ty. A final report on the findings will comeout in six months. David R. Abbott, associ-ate professor of anthropology at ArizonaState University’s School of HumanEvolution and Social Change, said he islooking forward to reading the report. Abbottbelieves the artifacts could help archaeolo-gists learn more about the Hohokam tribe’sway of life. The artifacts’ discovery means the county
must pay $200,000 to Logan SimpsonDesign, Gerchick said. The firm was alreadyretained for a $2,000 fee to stay on call ifanything was found. In May, workers at the site dug up rem-
nants of graves that local experts said hadties to Arizona pioneers who died in the mid-to late-1800s. Their findings included coffinhandles, wood slivers and even some humanremains.

Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAPfinancial measure and is defined below. The company’s auc-tion revenues for the first quarter of 2012 grew 14 percent to$101.3 million compared to $88.5 million for the same peri-od in 2011. The company conducted 38 unreserved industri-al auctions in nine countries throughout North America,Europe, the Middle East, Central America and Australia dur-ing the first quarter of 2012.
Gross Auction Proceeds and Auction Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross auctionproceeds were $865 million, 2 percent higher than the sameperiod in 2011. Gross auction proceeds is a non-GAAPfinancial measure and is defined below. The company’s auc-tion revenue rate (auction revenues as a percentage of grossauction proceeds) was 11.71 percent during the three monthsended March 31, 2012, compared to 10.39 percent in thesame period in 2011. The company’s revised fee structure,which came into effect on July 1, 2011, contributed $10.8million to auction revenues for the first quarter of 2012. Thecompany’s at risk business, comprised of guarantee and pur-chase contracts, represented 29 percent of gross auction pro-ceeds in the first quarter of 2012 (2011: 32 percent).
Summary Comments“We are pleased to have achieved record first quarter gross
auction proceeds and auction revenues during the first quar-ter; our performance was in line with our plans,” said PeterBlake, Ritchie Bros. CEO. “During the quarter we sawstrong equipment pricing at our auctions and competitionremained intense for good quality, low hour used equipment.This was reflected in our at risk business, which remainedabove historic levels. We saw improving optimism amongour customers and ongoing original equipment manufactur-er backlogs have created pent up demand for new and nearnew equipment, driving strength in the used equipment mar-ket. We remain confident that our performance for 2012 is ontrack with our plans.“Our strategic initiatives are also progressing well as we
continue our efforts to develop innovative solutions to enablethe world’s builders to exchange equipment easily and con-fidently. In the first quarter we completed a key strategic ini-tiative, our organizational realignment, and we are alreadyseeing the positive results of this.”
Quarterly DividendThe company also announced the declaration of a quar-
terly cash dividend of $0.1125 per common share payable onJune 8, 2012, to shareholders of record on May 18, 2012.
Online Bidding StatisticsRitchie Bros. sold more than $275 million of equipment,
trucks and other assets to online bidders during the first quar-ter of 2012, representing a 23 percent increase compared tothe same period in 2011 (first quarter of 2011: approximate-ly $223 million). Internet bidders continued to comprise over50 percent of the total bidder registrations at Ritchie Bros.industrial auctions during the first quarter of 2012. Sincelaunching its real-time online bidding service in 2002, thecompany has now sold over $5.5 billion worth of trucks,equipment, and other assets to online bidders, confirmingRitchie Bros.’ position as the world’s largest seller of usedequipment and trucks to online buyers.
Website Statistics The Ritchie Bros. website (www.rbauction.com) attracted
roughly 1.3 million unique visitors in the first quarter of2012, a 30 percent increase compared to the same period lastyear. Unique non-English speaking visitors increased 30 per-cent in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarterof 2011.
Definitions of Non-GAAP MeasuresThe company defines adjusted net earnings as financial
statement net earnings excluding the after-tax effects ofexcess property sales and significant foreign exchange gainsor losses resulting from financing activities that are notexpected to recur, and has provided a reconciliation below.Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure thatdoes not have a standardized meaning, and is thereforeunlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented byother companies. The company believes that comparingadjusted net earnings for different financial periods providesmore useful information about the growth or decline of itsnet earnings for the relevant financial period and identifiesthe impact of items which the company does not consider tobe part of its normal operating results. Gross auction proceeds represent the total proceeds from
all items sold at Ritchie Bros. auctions. The company’s def-inition of gross auction proceeds may differ from those usedby other participants in its industry. Gross auction proceedsis an important measure the company uses in comparing andassessing its operating performance. It is not a measure of thecompany’s financial performance, liquidity or revenue and isnot presented in its consolidated financial statements. Thecompany believes that auction revenues, which is the mostdirectly comparable measure in its Consolidated IncomeStatements, and certain other line items, are best understoodby considering their relationship to gross auction proceeds.Auction revenues represent the revenues earned by RitchieBros. in the course of conducting its auctions, and consistprimarily of commissions earned on consigned equipmentand net profit on the sale of equipment purchased by thecompany and sold in the same manner as consigned equip-ment.
