Kobelco Construction Machinery USA recently namedBrad Hargrave as the company’s northwestern sales repre-sentative. Hargrave, who was a prior Kobelco employee formore than 6 years, has made a return to the company thatstarted his career in the construction equipment industrymore than 10 years ago.

In his new role at Kobelco, Hargrave will be responsiblefor managing the northwest regional dealer network. He willoversee the marketing of Kobelco products and offer guid-ance to dealers by providing on-going training on productfeatures and special sales and marketing programs. In addi-tion, Hargrave will assist and support Kobelco dealers in

order to exceed market share goals and ensure customers arecontinually being provided with top-level sales and service.

Hargrave got his start with Kobelco as a sales coordinatorin 1995 where he learned the business from the ground up.He was quickly promoted to a marketing representative posi-tion and soon after, a sales liaison. Hargrave eventuallyadvanced to northwest district sales manager in 1998 wherehe first managed a regional network of 14 dealers, consis-tently surpassing set sales quotas.

Aside from Kobelco, Hargrave has a lengthy resumeholding several positions with well-known constructionequipment manufacturers. He has served as northwest dis-

trict business manager of New Holland/KobelcoConstruction as well as the western director of sales ofLiuGong Construction Machinery before accepting his mostrecent role as the Pacific Northwest district sales manager ofJCB Inc. In this position, Hargrave experienced notable suc-cess and was promoted after just two months to handle twoadditional areas of coverage which were the highest produc-ing regions in North America for JCB.

As Kobelco positions itself for long-term growth in theUnited States, industry veterans like Hargrave will be key tothe company’s success, according to Katsuhiko Morita, pres-ident and CEO of Kobelco.

“Brad’s results-driven mindset and unwavering persever-ance will undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to Kobelco,”said Morita. “We are delighted to have him join the compa-ny and look forward to his success in this position.”

ConExpo 1975 — Chicago, Ill.ConExpo 1975 Keeps on Truckin’

Every year brings new and bigger construction equipmentand the developments in off-highway trucks have proved noexception. All types and sizes were on display at ConExpoin 1975.

Euclid TrucksEuclid Inc. a subsidiary of White Motor Corporation,

Cleveland, Ohio, introduced two brand new rear dump off-highway haulers to the construction industry at ConExpo1975. These new units in 35-ton and 50-ton capacities arethe beginning of a family of off-highway haulers, whichembodies major design changes.The new design advances on the R-35 and R-50

permit greater payload per tire, reduced wheelweight, increased bearing life, greater braking capac-ity and vehicle maneuverability and simplified acces-sibility for in-frame maintenance. These new unitswill be used primarily in heavy construction, mining,and quarrying service.Euclid also introduced a 170-ton capacity electric

wheel drive rear dump hauler.The units are designed for heavy-duty service in

moving overburden and ore in large mining opera-tions.The R-170, is an extension of the proven design

concepts which have made the company’s truckssynonymous with excellent off-highway perform-ance and durability. In appearance, the R-170 strong-ly resembles Euclid’s new family of trucks.

TerexA new heavy duty, 55-ton hauler with 665 gross hp was

displayed for the first time as part of the Terex Division ofGeneral Motors exhibit at Chicago’s ConExpo February 9 to14, 1975.Equipped with 24.00 x 35 tires, the new 33-09 can main-

tain high haul road speeds making it one of the fastest medi-um-sized haulers on the market. This, combined with thehighest gross horsepower in its class, and a capacity of 55tons, makes the Terex 33-09 an excellent performancemachine big enough for large mining operations and quar-ries, yet nicely suited for highway jobs.The Detroit Diesel 16V-71T turbocharged two-cycle

diesel engine, coupled with a six forward speed Allisontransmission (and lock up in the six forward ranges) providesthe hauler with the necessary reserve power to take steepgrades well. And the 33-09 is well suited for high countrysince it can maintain its rated horsepower to 10,000 feet.Also on display was the Terex 33-07, a 40-ton range

hauler with a Detroit Diesel 12V-71T turbocharged enginecapable of producing 252 gross hp.. A high capacity air intro-duction system provides clean air, which contributes to long

engine life. The engine combined with a six forward speedAllison Transmission, with lockup, permits the 33-07 haulerto utilize high haul road speeds.

CaterpillarCaterpillar displayed the 777 off-highway truck with 85-

ton (77 Mg) capacity. This is the third and largest model inthe line and has the same design benefits already proven inthe 773 and 769B trucks: high productivity, reliability andeasy servicing.Maintenance in terms of convenience, reduced time and

less effort is an outstanding feature of the 777. Only dieselfuel and hydraulic oil sight-gauge checks are at ground level;all the rest of the daily routine checks are easily made fromthe roomy, skid-resistant maintenance platform. The truckhas “in-frame” serviceability without tight quarter confine-ments. The engine, torque converter, drive shaft, transmis-sion and pump groups are easily reached without restrictivecross-over wires, lines or hoses. These components are alsoremovable individually if desired.The hauler is powered by the D348 V12 diesel engine

rated at 870 hp, the same engine currently used in the Cat992B 10-yd. wheel loaders. The loaded weight tohorsepower ratio is 336 lb.-hp, lowest and best in itssize class.

International HarvesterInternational Harvester entered the off-highway

truck business in 1957 with the introduction of twovehicles — the 18-ton Model 65 PAY hauler and the24-ton Model 95 PAY hauler. In the following 17years, International’s PAY hauler line has evolvedthrough new design concepts into a totally different,much improved version of its predecessor.The original units followed standard design prac-

tices of that time … rear axle drive with the weightconcentrated on dual rear tires to provide traction.The front axle carried only about 30 percent of theweight. Its main responsibility was steering.

These ConExpo articles were published in ConstructionEquipment Guide (CEG) on March 5, 1975 and June 25,1975, respectively. These and other ConExpo articles to fol-low will be part of a continuing series that take a look backat ConExpos past through the reporting of CEG. We hopeyou enjoy these retros as much as we did searching for themdeep in our archives.

ConExpo 1975 HighlightsTotal attendance at ConExpo 1975 exceeded 140,000 and

compares to a total of 125,000 that attended the last show in1969. There were a total of 251 exhibitors, of whom 220 wereconstruction equipment and component manufacturers. Therewere 17,000 visitors from overseas including 500 fromAustralia alone. The Chicago Convention Bureau announced that21,701 hotel and motel rooms were occupied in Chicago and thesurrounding area. Two hundred publications covered the showwith 400 reporters and editors, about 60 of whom were notfrom the United States, but from Canada and overseas.


ConExpo 1975 — Chicago, Ill.Crawler loaders and dozers made their imprint on ConExpo.

Fiat-AllisFiat-Allis introduced five new crawler tractors and loaders to their

line. The largest of the new ones is the FL-14-B loader with up to 143hp and a 2.5 cu. yd. bucket. Next in size was the FL-10, which hasa 110 flywheel hp and 1-7/8 yd. bucket, its dozer counterpart, the 10-B also was introduced and is going to be available with two bladesand a ripper. A medium capacity loader the FL-9, features a breakout force of 18,750 lbs., and a 1-5/8 yd. bucket. The final addition tothe line was the “8” an 87 hp machine with an angle dozer.

John DeereJohn Deere made a giant move into the big earthmoving equip-

ment field with the introduction of nine new machines. These includ-ed two dozers and two loaders. The John Deere 750 dozer features a110 hp engine and the new dual-path hydrostatic drive. Next step upin size is the 850 dozer with 140 hp and a 123-in. blade with hydro-static tilt. The two new crawler loaders include the John Deere 755with 110 hp and the John Deere 855 with 175 hp.All feature the “dual-path” hydrostatic drive system that automat-

ically selects the optimum speed and the power ratio to fit the job.

This was a good conceptaccording to Internationalengineers, but there weresome drawbacks:1) Bodies were high

and difficult to loadbecause of the clearanceneeded for the large reartires.2) All the power went

through a single drive axle,requiring large, expensivecomponents that were dif-ficult to service.3) Tire overloading

became a serious problemas truck capacities and haulspeeds increased.Changes were neces-

sary. With the goal in mindof obtaining capacities ofup to 50 tons in a truck that had the same physical char-acteristics as a conventional 35-ton unit, the engineerscame up with a revolutionary solution: a truck with all-wheel drive and 50-50 weight distribution.Using this approach, the company offered, after

intensive engineering and field testing, the 180 PAYhauler 1963. The first completely new, off-highwaytruck in 30 years, the 180’s design parametersanswered all the problems inherent in off-highwaytrucks at that time.Here was a truck that applied one-quarter of its

power to each wheel. And with equal weight distribu-tion, one-fourth of the load was applied to each wheel.With equal power and equal load at each set of wheels,the truck obtained maximum traction and gradeability,according to IH.

Coming next issue: ConExpo ’81: Everything’s Biggerin Houston, Texas.

I received my first copy of the Midwest edition and was surprised tosee the article on the 1975 ConExpo in Chicago.Next year I will have been in this industry for 45 years and this wasmy first ConExpo — have not missed one since. That year, ClarkEquipment changed the brand on all their products to Clark. Productsfrom Lima, Austin Western, Hancock, Michigan were all branded Clark.In your article, you mention one of the attractions as being a rubber-tired loader, too big to fit inside. That was the Clark 675. Funny thing isthat IH had a loader inside that was identified as the largest payloader inthe world. People kept asking me if that was larger than the 675. Myresponse was, “You see the payloader was displayed inside and the 675outside because it would not fit inside.” In 1975, Clark people working the show had bright yellow blazers andblue pants. I still had the jacket up until about five years ago.The celebrities you mentioned in your article were also from the Clarkdisplay. George Blanda, Kenny Stabler, and Roger Staubach were allbrought to the show by Clark Equipment.It was cold — five below zero and I could not get my 1972 FordMaverick started.I showed the article around the office. Most comments were like this— “I was not born yet,” “I was five years old” and even Tim Frank, ourchairman, was a teenager in ’75.It was a great article and as Bob Hope said, “Thanks for theMemories.”

Volvo BL60B, BL70B Combine Two Machines in OneWith the launch of its BL60B and BL70B,

Volvo Construction Equipment thoroughlyredesigned its backhoe loader range —offering improved performance, usabilityand a modern appearance. The machinecombines in a single, stable platform thestrength and simplicity of a Volvo wheelloader with the power and performance of aVolvo excavator.With an average operating weight that

ranges from 17,500 to 19,500 lbs. (7,938 to8,845 kg), and gross power of 83 to 98 hp(62 to 73 kW), the BL60B and BL70B weredesigned and built with power, strength, longlife and cost saving efficiency in mind.

Loader and BoomThe one piece chassis, loader arm and

excavator boom are all made from highquality steel and robotically welded, givingprecise, constant weld runs for structuralintegrity. The loader arm has a box-weldeddesign and is reinforced with a cross tube.The larger excavator boom has a narrow, tallarch design that is inherently strong, anduses a closed box-welded approach withfewer components and welds, for durabilityand performance. The boom allows excel-lent visibility into the trench, as well asenabling closer proximity to the truck forloading. The cast iron kingpost offers flexi-bility of movement and swing.

Control In Your HandsCompared to previous models, the

BL60B and BL70B feature new controls.The machines are fitted with two floor-mounted ergonomic levers that give opti-mum grip for the operator’s hand move-ments when operating the excavator. Theright lever is fitted with a horn for safety, andthe left lever can have an optional fingertipbutton. This button controls the two-wayauxiliary hydraulic line required when usingdouble acting excavator attachments. Fitted with either 16.5 or 18-in. (42 or 46

cm) front tires, these machines have a smallturning radius and are extremely maneuver-able, as well as easier to position on site.Helped by a new cast bucket linkage design,the bucket can rotate 205 degrees — allow-ing vertical digging in all positions withoutrepositioning the machine.

Delivering the PowerThe BL60B and BL70B have the latest

D3.8H four cylinder 3.8 L Volvo engines.These high torque, fuel efficient enginesmeet the requirements of the Tier IV Interimemissions legislation. The torque converteron these machines is one of the largest in theindustry and has excellent peak torque andtorque rise. A differential lock on the rearaxle is engaged via a foot switch on the sideof the brake pedal and provides maximumrear wheel grip over slippery surfaces,

according to the manufacturer.Both the loader and excavator benefit

from flow sharing hydraulics that enablemulti-functioning for efficient and smoothoperation. The BL70B features load sensinghydraulics that constantly adapt to the needsof the job at hand. With oil delivery thatmatches the required force, there is alwaysthe speed and power required for allhydraulic functions. In applications such asload and carry, where speed is important, thesystem efficiently delivers the required flow.

Improved Care CabBoasting 15 percent more space than

before, the room between the operator’s seatand the left side of the cab has beenincreased, as has space around the excavatormechanical controls or pilot towers, makingthe position change between loader andexcavator easier and more convenient. Therealso is a larger area to store personal items.The seat, steering controls and instrumentsare all designed to lower fatigue and keepoperators alert and in control.

Comfort can be increased further with amulti-adjustable steering column and highperformance heating and cooling systems. A30 percent increase in glass area combinedwith narrow pillars and a sloping hooddesign allow excellent visibility. Visibility isenhanced outside the cab by adjustable stan-dard-fit halogen work lights and internallyby a large cab dome light for safer entry andexit of the cab.

Tools For Every JobBoth ends of the machine can be equipped

with versatile, easy-to-use attachments andquick couplers. B-Series backhoe loaderscan be configured with general or multi-pur-pose loader buckets, pallet forks, hydraulicthumb, standard and heavy-duty excavatorbuckets, hydraulic breaker attachments — avast range of solutions. Service and daily maintenance are made

easy with the B-Series, with a one piece lift-ing hood and filters/service points allgrouped together at ground level. Fewergreasing points and long greasing intervals

also help to increase uptime. A tilting oilcooler in front of the radiator makes cleaningboth the cooler and the radiator quick andeasy.

Genuine ServiceVolvo Construction Equipment provides

much more than a vast range of attachmentsand genuine service and maintenance prod-ucts. Advanced machines need support inorder to maximize uptime, productivity andresale values. A wide range of service plansare available, as are analysis and diagnosticstools. Both models have gone through rigorous

testing to ensure they measure up to the dailychallenges of a variety of jobs, includingdeep trenching, heavy lifting, loading, cran-ing and roading, according to the manufac-turer.For more information, call 828/650-2000

The BL60B and BL70B have the latest D3.8H four cylinder 3.8 L Volvo engines. These high torque, fuel efficient engines meet therequirements of the Tier IVf emissions legislation.

Designed with fully enclosed protectionhoods, Bomag’s BPR35/60 series reversibleplate compactors provide contractors andrental customers with faster working speedsand greater compaction forces for work ongranular and mixed soils.Three models are available in the series.

The BPR35/60 features a 4.8-hp (3.6 kW)Honda air-cooled gasoline engine, while theBPR35/60D and BPR35/60D/E areequipped with 4.2-hp (3.1 kW) Hatz air-cooled diesel engines. Each compactor fea-tures a vibratory exciter design for increasedworking speed and improved gradeability onall types of soil. All three models deliver7,868 lbs. of centrifugal force. Maximum vibration frequency for each

unit is 4,800 vibrations per minute. Bothvibration frequency and centrifugal force areeasily adjusted using the throttle control.Heavy-duty wear-resistant base plates fea-

ture reinforced edges and have a workingwidth of 23.6 in. (60 cm).The BPR35/60 series features a high-

strength, grain-refined steel hood that helpsprotect the engine and all internal compo-nents from job site and transportation dam-age. To simplify maintenance, the hood ishinged and swings forward to reveal theentire engine. Large, integral service portspermit access to the most common mainte-nance points. The compactors also feature afully protected V-belt, lifetime lubricatedvibration bearings, reinforced self-adjustingcentrifugal clutch, foldable multi-functionlifting point and bumper protection. The gasoline-powered BPR35/60 also

features a maintenance-free transistor igni-tion, large-volume dry air filter withcyclone-type precleaner, and automatic shut-down at low oil level. The diesel-poweredmodels come with semi-automatic decom-

pression for easier starting, and an electricstarter also is standard on the BPR35/60D/E.For maximum safety and comfort, the

units feature a steering rod with built-invibration buffers, which help reduce theamount of vibration transferred to the opera-tor. Additionally, the steering rod is heightadjustable to accommodate any operator andis lockable in both the transport and workingposition.Available options include transport

wheels, a service kit, and an optionalVulcolan mat that prevents scuffing whenthe reversible plate compactors are used onpaving block. For more information, call 800/782-6624

Bomag Plate Compactors Offer Enhanced Performance

The BPR35/60 features a 4.8-hp (3.6kW) Honda air-cooled gasoline engine,while the BPR35/60D and BPR35/60D/Eare equipped with 4.2-hp (3.1 kW) Hatzair-cooled diesel engines.

Bergkamp Inc., based in Salina,Kan., offers the M310 truck-mounted slurry seal and micro sur-facing paver that allows operatorsto easily calibrate the machine,control production rates and sim-plify maintenance. The M310 usesthe EMCAD (electronic mix con-trol and diagnostic) system thatdisplays current and average mate-rial ratios, total material used andmaterial application rates — andcan produce on-demand reports totrack production for individual sec-tions of the job, or the entire job,via an onboard printer. Operatorscan evaluate these printouts andmake the necessary adjustments tomore efficiently run the machineand calculate your bottom line. The M310 utilizes direct-drive

hydraulics that work with theEMCAD system. The systemmonitors and adjusts materialratios automatically according tothe set points of the ingredients,

production control setting andinstantaneous feedback from thedelivery system sensors to provideconsistent mix. Aggregate, asphaltemulsion, water, additive and finesare proportionally delivered andmetered according to the set pointsas per mix design. In addition, itelectronically self-diagnoses con-trol system or engine problems anddisplays a simple error code,reducing troubleshooting andrepair time. Calibration is simpli-fied, so fewer steps are requiredand manual calculations are elimi-nated. Even less experienced oper-ators can quickly make adjust-ments during production withoutcompromising the accuracy of themix. “With this unique system, the

M310 is one of the simplest-to-operate machines available andprovides owners with the informa-tion needed to calculate profitsaccurately,” said Scott Bergkamp,

president of BergkampInc. “This precise machinesimplifies mix control andallows operators to focusmore on the paving job toproduce the best possibleproduct. With the growingpopularity of preventivemaintenance, the M310 isa good way to manageyour costs.”The M310 carries 10

cu. yds. (9.1 cu m) ofaggregate, 630 gal. (2,385L) of both asphalt emul-sion and water and 80 gal.(303 L) of additive. Theoperator interface consolehas easy-to-use joystick controlsand slides to either side to providethe operator with the best availableview. Both the engine and pugmillrun smoothly and quietly. Theonboard 99-hp (73.8 kW)Cummins engine is at the front ofthe unit in an enclosed compart-

ment that further reduces noise forthe driver and crew. The pugmillsafely slides out for easier cleaning— the bottom bowls stay in thepaver, while the excess materialfalls out of the bottom for a fastercleaning job. The fines feeder ispositioned low so it is easily acces-

sible for loading. All liquidtanks are removable formaintenance. Aggregate is delivered

to the pugmill by a 24-in.(61 cm) wide belt-over-chain conveyor, whicheliminates slippage, whilethe steep hopper wallsminimize bridging prob-lems. A Tri-Rotor pump,three-way valve and inlinestrainer allow trouble-freeloading of asphalt emul-sion onto the truck, so newmaterial can be loaded atfull rate without affectingthe production settings.

control system for poured-in-place concreteprofiles, such as curbs, safety barriers orslabs. Throughout the show, WirtgenAmerica demonstrated the AutoPilot systemon an SP 15 at its outside stand. Attendeesalso had the opportunity to set up their owncourses using the AutoPilot system.In addition, Wirtgen America displayed

the SP 25 and new SP 80i slipform machinesat its indoor booth.The Wirtgen SP 15 concrete slipform

paver has a maximum paving width of 6 ft.(1.8 m), maximum barrier/parapet place-ment height of 4 ft. 3 in. (1.3 m), and weighs28,500 lb. (12,927 kg). The SP 25 concreteslipform paver has a maximum paving widthof 12 ft. (3.6 m), and maximum barrier/para-pet placement height of 6.5 ft. (2 m), and wasdisplayed in barrier configuration.Also, the new full-lane-width SP 80i was

displayed, set up for its maximum pavingwidth of 26 ft. (7.9 m). New to North America in 2013, the SP 80i

comes in different configurations. It can beset up as an offset machine for very largesections, as a two-track paver, and as a four-track paver. The “i” designates these paversas having “intelligent” power and emissionscontrol systems.

Kleemann EVO Impact CrusherKleemann Mineral Technologies also was

a part of World of Concrete as the 450-tph(408 t) Mobirex MR 130 ZS EVO impactcrusher was shown. Kleemann sets newstandards with its advanced range of EVOmobile impact crusher plants, which are ide-ally suited for processing recycled concreteaggregate (RCA) and reclaimed asphaltpavement (RAP), according to the manufac-turer.The new EVO concept matches refine-

ments for all individual components with anew material flow concept. Fitted with itsindependent pre-screen — which separatesmaterial prior to the crusher, allowing mate-rial to be screened either to produce a finalproduct or remove unwanted contaminants— the new, highly efficient flow concept ofthe EVO models eliminates all restriction tothe flow of the material throughout the entireplant. For example, with their significantlyincreased screening areas, EVO modelsdeliver considerably higher overall tonnagesof between 350 or 450 tph (317 or 408 t) —MR 110 EVO and MR 130 EVO, respec-tively — than their predecessor models,according to the manufacturer.

AutoPilot for Accuracy, EfficiencyAutoPilot is a GPS-based system that

ensures highest precision and optimum effi-ciency in slipform paving, regardless ofwhether straight profiles or highly complexcurved paths are being pouredThe Wirtgen Autopilot control system

bypasses the need to establish a digital ter-rain model. That’s because programming iscompleted by using a rover pole to capturecoordinates or by simply using the job siteplans. This means a surveyor is not required. The AutoPilot system utilizes a computer

integrated in the machine, as well as a con-trol panel that allows intuitive operation. Forcourse control, two machine mounted GPSreceivers communicate with an additionalGPS reference station positioned on site. Forprecise grade control, a laser, ultrasonic sen-sor or total station is used. The machine con-trol software is a proprietary Wirtgen devel-opment.

Topcon Positioning Systems’(TPS) P-32 asphalt paving controlsystem features the GC-35 full-color, graphical display control box.The new system also includesTopcon’s Sonic Tracker, slope sen-sor and is fully compatible with itsSmoothtrac sonic averaging sys-tem.The P-32 system is designed to

allow for control of both sides of thepaver by one operator. “The operator can view elevation

and slope values of the screed froma single box, a time-saving featuremade possible by refining existing,time-tested machine control tech-nologies from Topcon and combin-ing them with the new GC-35 con-trol box,” said Tony Vanneman,TPS construction product market-ing manager. The GC-35 box has a 3.5 in., full-

color LED display designed for use

in bright or low light, making it easyto read during paving projects, dayor night. “With large graphics and text, an

easy-to-navigate menu, a config-urable display layout and an incred-ibly fast processor, the operator canquickly determine options andmake selections to create smoothand accurate cross-slope transitionsand improve overall paving con-trol,” Vanneman said. Water- and dustproof with an

IP67 rating, the new GC-35 box isbuilt to handle harsh conditionsencountered in the field. In additionto its durability, it’s designed to stayup-to-date with firmware updatesmade quickly and easily through aUSB connection. It also is back-ward compatible to Topcon System5 paving control systems.“All aspects of the P-32 design

are meant to be long-lasting with

improved performancefor the operator such asthe positioning of thecables — mounted on theside of the box instead ofbelow the box to keep the cablesout of the moving parts of thepaver,” Vanneman said. “With itsoverall operator interface and itsrugged exterior, the system isbuilt job site-ready for the tough-est challenges of asphaltpaving.”

By Jason DearenASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) When trafficflows across a new stretch of the SanFrancisco-Oakland Bay Bridge for thefirst time, it will do so nearly a quarter-century after a deadly earthquake duringthe 1989 World Series collapsed two 50-ft.sections of the old structure. The 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta quake

hit just as millions tuned in to watch Game3 of the “Bay Bridge World Series’’between the Oakland Athletics and SanFrancisco Giants, killing 63 people andcausing up to $10 billion in damage. The Bay Bridge failure, one of the tem-

blor’s most memorable images, promptedone of the costliest public works projectsin state history. The $6.4 billion projectfinally draws to a close after decades ofpolitical bickering, engineering challengesand billions in cost overruns. The years of past delays magnified pub-

lic safety concerns over the need for a per-manent solution as the original, seismical-ly unsafe bridge, which opened during theadministration of President FranklinRoosevelt, was patched up and continuedoperating. Highlighting the decades of complica-

tions, the scheduled opening of thereworked bridge was in jeopardy againthis year after crews discovered dozens ofdefective rods used to anchor the roadwayto important earthquake safety structures.The bridge will open with a temporary fixfor these broken rods while the permanentrepair, expected to be completed inDecember, is being installed. Issues with the rods and myriad delays

have left many commuters with a feelingof trepidation about the bridge, eventhough state officials say it’s one of thesafest in the world. The self-anchored suspension bridge

with a looming, single white tower wasdesigned to endure 150 years and with-stand the strongest earthquake estimatedby seismologists to occur at the site over a1,500-year period. Steve Heminger, chairman of the Toll

Bridge Program Oversight Committee,the project’s watchdog, said the span isorders of magnitude safer than the currentcrossing. “Some bridges in California have been

built not to collapse in an earthquake, butthey may be out of service,’’ Hemingersaid. “We couldn’t have that with the BayBridge, which is not only pivotal to theeconomy but also plays a critical role inhelping us recover.’’ “I’m not here to suggest that there

weren’t construction challenges along theway, but they have been dealt with.’’ In the decades since the earthquake, the

bridge replacement project overcamemany hurdles. An initial scientific recommendation

following Loma Prieta called for retro-fitting the current span, not replacing it. ANational Science Foundation team thatstudied damage to the bridge said in 1992that the current eastern portion should beretrofitted for an estimated cost of $230million. But in 1996, the California Department

of Transportation’s Seismic AdvisoryBoard disagreed with those findings, say-ing the cost of replacing the old bridgewould be comparable with retrofitting it. At that time, Caltrans proposed build-

ing a simple concrete causeway — an ele-vated freeway — at a cost comparable toa retrofit. But Bay Area leaders blasted that

design as too vanilla, saying the areadeserved a span that would complementthe grandeur of the Golden Gate. The self-anchored, single tower design

was accepted in 1998, and Caltrans esti-mated it would cost $1.5 billion. However, the ambition of the project

created technical challenges that were notfactored into original cost estimates —hurdles that delayed construction by years.During the delays the price of steelincreased, and unforeseen engineeringchallenges created a need for more work-ers. Costs skyrocketed, leading former Gov.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2004 to pro-pose scrapping the single-tower design infavor of the cheaper raised freeway con-

cept. But the foundations of the bridge’ssoaring tower were already laid, so in2005 the project continued. Critics of the bridge’s design along the

way have questioned assertions that thespan is quake safe, saying more work isneeded to know if there are more defectivebolts or rods, Bob Bea, an emeritus engi-neering professor at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, said in an email. “I do not think there are significant con-

cerns for the ‘safety’ of the bridge undernormal daily loadings. However, I dothink there are remaining significant unre-solved concerns for the `durability’ ... and`safety’ of the bridge,’’ Bea said. The project’s problems also exposed a

government public works system that isno longer equipped to handle such ambi-tious projects, said Richard Walker, anemeritus geography professor at the UCBerkeley who has studied a century ofpublic works projects in the United States. “America doesn’t do big infrastructure

projects that well anymore,’’ Walker said.“California used to be at the leading edge... they built the Bay and Golden GateBridge, still one of the beloved structuresin the world. “In those days, there were far fewer reg-

ulations, which allowed builders to puttogether local steel and cement plants forthese projects ... assembling a whole teamwas easier.’’ Bridge officials say the public will

come around to the new bridge. It is wider,with five roomy lanes on each section.The new span also was built with roadwayshoulders — room for stalled vehicles thatwill help improve traffic flow. Over time, as concerns are addressed

and the old bridge fades into history, somebelieve the project’s many black eyes willbe forgotten. “I don’t think the bridge will ‘wow’

people right away because of all theseblack eyes,’’ Walker said. “But after 10years it will be seen as a nice piece of engi-neering and they’ll be proud of it lateron.’’

The Bigge Crane and Rigging SouthernCalifornia branch recently participated in anEmergency Elevated Extraction Drill with the Fireand Safety Dept. at a Refinery in El Segundo,Calif.The Coker Reliability project consists of retro-

fitting the structure in preparation for the drumreplacement. Because of the unit’s height andlocation, the operation requires the use of twoLiebherr LR1300 cranes, each with more than 140ft. (43 m) of main boom and a 150 ft. (48 m) luff-ing jib. These cranes were chosen specifically forthis job because of their capability to reach overthe coke pit on the west side and the unit’s opera-tion systems on the east side.With numerous contractor personnel working

at elevatedlocations of theunit, the projectmanagementteam proactive-ly conductedthis drill inpreparation ofan actualinjured person-nel emergencyretrieval. Thisdrill requiredthe preciseplacement of arescue basketunto the northside 164 ft. deck. With the experience of the craneoperators, Bigge was able to perfectly execute therescue.“The rescue operation was well planned and

ran as smoothly as possible,” said Randy Cooper,managing contractor. “The location of the craneand the radius of the lift have been pre-determinedto ensure an efficient rescue if the need arises.”The Fire and Rescue team agreed, “The ride wasbetter than Disneyland.”

CCTA Celebrates First StageOn Aug. 23, the Contra Costa

Transportation Authority (CCTA) celebratedthe completion of the first stage of construc-tion on the Sand Creek Road Interchangeproject. This major project milestone is the first of

three significant traffic reconfigurations thatwill minimize the traffic impacts at theHighway 4 and Sand Creek Road intersec-tion, and bring much needed congestionrelief to east Contra Costa County. A traffic switch the following weekend

moved eastbound drivers onto the newlycompleted stretch of Highway 4 near theSand Creek Road Interchange. This trafficmovement opened the new Sand Creekbridge for eastbound Highway 4 traffic, andreduced traffic congestion for eastboundHighway 4 traffic between Lone Tree Wayand Balfour Road.Bob Taylor, mayor of Brentwood, said,

“these improvements along Highway 4 inBrentwood mark an important milestone inthe effort to improve transportation and qual-ity of life in our region of Contra CostaCounty. Brentwood is growing, and thetransportation system will grow with it.”CCTA Executive Director Randy Iwasaki

said, “The Highway 4 corridor projects —including the improvements between LoneCreek Way and Sand Creek Road — are part

of CCTA’s partnership with the public todeliver transportation solutions, such asmore efficient freeways and eBART, whichcontribute to the quality of life for the morethan 250,000 residents of eastern ContraCosta County.”CCTA secured funding in 2011 through

the state Corridor Mobility ImprovementAccount (CMIA) to widen Highway 4 andconstruct a partial interchange at Sand CreekRoad. With this project currently ahead ofschedule and under budget, CCTA was ableto combine project savings with additionalfunding from local sources to complete theentire interchange at Sand Creek Road andextend the four lane widening to south ofSand Creek Road.The entire Sand Creek Road Interchange

and 4-Lane Widening project is expected tobe complete in late 2014 and includesexpanding the highway from two to fourlanes (two in each direction) from Lone TreeWay to Sand Creek Road, the constructionof the Sand Creek Road Interchange, and theprovision of a median wide enough toaccommodate mass transit in the future(eBART).

A new California law helpsassure that construction subcon-tractors, specialty trade contrac-tors, and suppliers will be paid forwork they perform and servicesthey provide on construction com-ponents of certain infrastructureprojects financed through public-private partnerships.On Aug. 13, California Gov.

Jerry Brown (D) signed legislation(AB 164), supported by theAmerican SubcontractorsAssociation, amending the govern-ment code related to infrastructurefinancing that authorizes local gov-ernment agencies to use P3s todesign, finance, and maintain avariety of fee-producing infrastruc-ture facilities. The new law(Chapter 94) extends the California“Little Miller Act” to these P3s byrequiring the inclusion of “pay-ment bonds to secure the paymentof claims of laborers, mechanics,and materials suppliers employedon the work under contract” and“performance bonds as security to

ensure the completion of the con-struction of the facility.”The California “Little Miller

Act” requires the prime contractorto furnish surety bonds on publicconstruction projects in excess of$25,000 in the amount of 100 per-cent of the contract to assure thatthe project will be completed, pro-tecting taxpayer dollars, and thatsubcontractors and suppliers,many of which are small business-es, will be paid.ASA of California initiated the

legislation, which was supportedby other major construction associ-ations in the state. “More than268,000 licensed subcontractorswill benefit from this payment pro-tection, especially because P3 proj-ects have become more popularsince public coffers have suffered,”said Daniel F. McLennon, Esq.,McLennon Law Corp., SanFrancisco, Calif. McLennon, chairof ASA of California’sGovernment Relations Committee,along with Scott Holbrook, Esq.,

Crawford & Bangs, Covina, Calif.,worked on the bill’s language.Depending on how a construc-

tion project funded by both publicand private sources is structured,the project may be exempt fromboth payment bond requirementsand mechanic’s liens, leaving sub-contractors and suppliers withoutadequate payment assurances.On July 16, ASA urged Gov.

Brown to sign the legislation.“Lack of payment assurancesshifts very substantial risks to sub-contractors and suppliers workingon a P3 project,” wrote ASA ChiefAdvocacy Officer E. Colette

Nelson. “Typically, subcontractorsextend large amounts of creditbefore submitting an invoice to theproject’s prime contractor. Theywill have paid their workers andsuppliers. They may even havepaid estimated taxes before pay-ment is forthcoming for workproperly performed. Taxpayersultimately bear the costs ofincreased risk of nonpayment toconstruction subcontractors andsuppliers.”Increasingly, California and

other states are funding construc-tion projects for public use throughpublic-private partnerships.

Typically, the public entity willprovide the land and authorize theprivate entity to design, build, andfrequently operate the resultingpublic work. In trying to maximizethe incentives for the participationof private investment in P3 proj-ects, state and local governmentstry to minimize government redtape. The zeal to reduce red tapehas damaging consequences, how-ever, when it eliminates or omitsdeeply justified requirements relat-ed to public procurement, such asthe statutory payment protectionsfor work performed by subcontrac-tors and suppliers.“With this new California law,

as well as other state P3 lawsenacted during 2013, constructionsubcontractors have turned the tideagainst those attempting to use P3sas a tool to erode subcontractorpayment rights,” Nelson said.


“Taxpayers ultimately bear the costs ofincreased risk of nonpayment to constructionsubcontractors and suppliers.”

PH-Series Hydraulic Hammers: NPK’s Newest InnovationNPK Construction Equipment

Inc. has introduced four new PHSeries hydraulic hammer models,replacing the company’s GH-1through GH-4 model hammers.According to company PresidentDan Tyrrell, the PH Series hammerssignify a new generation of hammersemploying the latest technologies indesign, engineering and manufactur-ing to address applications in thegrowing mini and compact equip-ment market.The new hammers incorporate the

demand for high quality, hardwork-ing and durable equipment withprice sensitivity concerns in the sizerange with a design that effectivelymeets all criteria. The new PH Seriescontinues to employ features such assleeves covering and protecting theunits’ working parts while streamlin-ing and simplifying the entire ham-mer system. These new one piece body ham-

mers eliminate the need for long tiebolts and are equipped with an anti-blank firing feature providing longercomponent life. In addition, NPK’s

PH Series is available with anoptional fully enclosed “Enivro-Bracket,” providing reduced noiselevels. Other features include a slip fit

tool bushing and a larger diameterretaining pin for ease of maintenanceand longer service life. With morethan 45 percent fewer total parts thanprevious models, the PH Series stillincorporates its popular nitrogen gaspowered piston. The PH-1 comes in with 350 ft.

lbs. impact energy, weighs 423 lbs.(192 kg) and will fit a 2 to 3.5 ton(1.8 to 3.2 t) carrier. The PH-2 pro-duces 500 ft. lbs., weighs 487 lbs.(221 kg) and fits a carrier in the 3 to5.5 ton class (2.7 to 5 t). The PH-3will output 750 ft. lbs., weighs 825lbs. (374 kg), and fits a 4 to 8 ton (3.6to 7.2 t) carrier while the PH-4 is inthe 1,300 ft. lb. impact energy class,weighs 1,064 lbs. (482 kg) and isbest matched to a carrier in the 6 to 9ton (5.4 to 8 t) weight class.The NPK Construction

Equipment PH Series hydraulichammers are fully assembled at the

company’s Ohio facility, which iswhere all brackets and fabricationsare performed as well. Tyrrellexplained that this arrangement pro-vides the company with outstandingcapabilities where customizationmay be required to meet specificcustomer needs. Timed to coincide with the launch

of the new PH Series hydraulic ham-mers, NPK also plans to offer 0 per-cent financing for 24 monthsthrough the end of the year.NPK maintains an extensive net-

work of nearly 300 distributor out-lets, a comprehensive field servicecorp and an extensive parts distribu-tion network to assure more equip-ment uptime with NPK hammers aswell as compactors/drivers, crushers,material processors and pedestalboom systems. For more information, call

Takeuchi Presents Tier IV Final TB260 Hydraulic ExcavatorThe Takeuchi TB260 is a completely

new model weighing in at just over 12,500lbs. (5,670 kg) and featuring a reinforcedlong arm with integrated thumb mountthat provides a 12 ft. 9.4 in. (3.9 m) digdepth. The TB260 is equipped with a highperformance, turbocharged engine thatdelivers over 47 hp (35 kW) smoothly andefficiently, while meeting U.S. EPA TierIV Final emission requirements.Automatic-idle helps reduce fuel con-sumption and engine noise levels, lower-ing operating costs and improving job sitecommunication, and when combined withthe ECO mode, fuel consumption can bereduced by as much as 21 percent in typi-cal working conditions, according to themanufacturer.The hydraulic system includes preci-

sion pilot joysticks that deliver smooth,metered control for the operator and thevariable displacement pumps that provideexcellent cycle times and 12,756 lbs. ofbucket breakout force. Not only can the TB260 dig, it is also an

excellent attachment platform, accordingto the manufacturer. Primary and second-ary auxiliary hydraulics come standard,and are operated using independent fin-gertip proportional controls. An in-cab

monitor can be used to select preconfig-ured work tools, or it may be customizedfor specific attachments. In addition, thecontinuous-run mode helps reduce opera-tor fatigue when operating motor driven

attachments. For backfilling and cleanupwork, the dozer blade is equipped with ablade float feature. An optional powerangle blade that includes a replaceablebolt-on cutting edge also is available.

The automotive-styled interior isequipped with a high capacity HVAC sys-tem to keep the operator comfortablethroughout the year. A large LCD colormonitor panel provides a wealth of infor-mation to the operator, and is easy to readin all lighting conditions. The high backsuspension seat with multiple heightadjustments allows the operator to easilyfind a comfortable operating position, andthe large door enables the operator to eas-ily enter and exit the machine.“Takeuchi is excited about this new

excavator, and we look forward to provid-ing today’s contractors with machines thatmeet the requirements of their demandingjob sites,” said Clay Eubanks, president ofTakeuchi US. “We listen to our customersto understand the needs of the job site, wethen take that feedback and channel it intoour products to build quality, purpose builtmachines.

Case Introduces New CX55B for Excavator Product LineCase Construction Equipment

expanded its compact excavatorproduct line into a new class seg-ment with the introduction of theCase CX55B minimum tail swingmodel. The new compact excava-tor provides enhanced lift capacity,digging force and operator com-fort, according to the manufacturer.With a large boom and arm for

greater reach, the Case CX55Bdelivers 11,240 lbf (50 kN) ofbucket digging force. Its 39.3-hp(29 kW) engine, operating weightof 12,295 lb. (5,577 kg) and digdepth of 12 ft. 10 in. (3.9 m) givethe CX55B enough size and powerfor tackling a variety of utility,commercial and residential con-struction applications. Plus, itscompact size and cab height of 8 ft.4 in. (2.55 m) make the CaseCX55B excavator as easy to trailerbetween job sites as a skid steer.“The CX55B is a compact exca-

vator with all the power of a full-sized excavator,” said Katie Pullen,brand marketing manager, CaseConstruction Equipment.“Whether you’re digging, lifting,loading or dozing, the CX55B willsatisfy the most demanding opera-tors.”

Enhanced OperatorComfort

Case designed the CX55B withthe operator in mind. The full-sizecab design is 10-percent larger and7 in. (17.8 cm) wider than otherCase B Series compact excavatorcabs.Large front and rear windows

improve operator visibility. A newslide-up front window improvesair flow and helps the operatorcommunicate more effectivelywith coworkers near the machine.“Operators will appreciate the

CX55B’s large cab and improvedvisibility,” said Pullen. “At Case,we believe improvements in oper-ator comfort and conveniencetranslate directly into improvedperformance and productivity.”

Increased Performance,Productivity

Performance and productivityenhancements include standardproportional hydraulic controls inthe joystick. The Case CX55Bcompact excavator is “thumbready” with factory-installed

hydraulics and an attachmentbracket. The machine also is avail-able with piping for secondaryhydraulics to handle a wide rangeof attachments or provide a dedi-cated circuit to a thumb bucket.In addition to a variety of avail-

able attachments — includingbuckets, hammers and augers —the CX55B includes a standarddozer blade for finish grading. Theblade features a 38-degreeapproach angle, and its shape rollsthe dirt as it pushes, leaving asmooth and level surface. Anoptional four-way dozer blade alsois available for increased backfilland grading ability. Case offersboth rubber and steel tracks for the

CX55B to match the ground con-ditions.The CX55B shares another

characteristic design feature withother Case B Series compact exca-vator models: a center-swing boomthat enables the operator to digaround stationary objects or along-side obstacles. Minimum tailswing allows the machine to rotate360 degrees with less than 11.7 in(30 cm) of the upper structureextending beyond the tracks. “The Case machine sets the

standard for compact performanceand productivity,” Pullen said.The 19.8-gal. (75 L) fuel tank on

the CX55B is 40-percent largerthan other Case compact excava-

tors, boosting operation time.Available buckets range from 12 to36 in. (30 to 91 cm), with capaci-ties from 3.0 to 9.8 cu. ft. (0.085 to0.277 cu m).

Maintenance andServiceability

The CX55B compact excavatoris designed for fast and easy dailymaintenance. The convenient serv-ice features include ground-levelaccess to daily maintenance check-points. An easy-access electricalcompartment is under the seat, andan hour meter can be checked fromthe ground outside the cab.The radiator features a new

intake method that simplifies

cleaning and helps prevent clog-ging. New features include a “notools” fuel-tank drain valve and anaccumulator that allows attach-ments to be safely lowered usingin-cab controls in the event of anunexpected engine shutdown.Case provides customer support

via a Customer Assistance Hotlineat 866/54CASE6 from 8 a.m. to 11p.m. seven days a week CST(except Sundays, Decemberthrough March).For more information, visit

Volvo D-Series Short-Swing CompactExcavators Work in Tight SpacesWhen space is in short supply, the

new ECR58D and ECR88D shortswing radius compact excavators fromVolvo Construction Equipment are intheir element. Even with a compactsize, the D-Series excavators boast dig-ging performance, breakout and tearoutforces, and lifting capabilities that rivaltheir larger counterparts. Thesemachines also feature engines that offersuperior performance and reduced fuelconsumption, according to the manu-facturer. Manueverability and productivity

also are optimized on these compactmachines. Both models feature auto-matic two-speed travel for enhancedtraction, and hydraulic travel pedals foreasy and accurate track control.

Super SuperstructuresFeaturing a narrow body design and

centrally positioned boom, the super-structure on the ECR58D and ECR88Dis so compact that its rear swings with-in its track shoe, allowing operators towork extremely close to other objectswithout risk of collision. The shortfront/rear radius also is well-suited toworking within a single highway lane,minimizing disruption to the flow oftraffic.Due to their reinforced, three-piece,

high-tensile steel X-shaped frameundercarriage, they are durable andreliable — capable of withstanding therigors of demanding work environ-ments. The models feature impressivebucket and dipper digging forces —and class-leading digging depth —allowing them to power through toughworking conditions. Superiorhydraulics and pump flow also helpprovide faster cycle times andenhanced digging performance,according to the manufacturer.Quickly positioning the ECR58D

and ECR88D is simple, with slew andoffset movements controlled simulta-neously by a joystick that’s precise andeasy to use. For greater flexibility, the excavators

are available with a mono-boom (or anoptional two-piece boom on theECR88D), several arm configurationsand blade. The D-Series also offers avariety of optional quick couplers and anew and extensive range of genuineVolvo attachments.

Powerful EfficiencyNew engines deliver lower emis-

sions along with superior performanceand fuel efficiency, for higher produc-tivity levels and lower operating costs.The ECR58D is fitted with a four-cylinder engine that produces 50 hp(36.5 kW), and the ECR88D comeswith a four-cylinder, 58 hp (43 kW)output engine. The ECR58D and ECR88D (Tier

IVf / Stage IIIB) feature an exhaust-after-treatment system (EATS) forlower emissions and seamless opera-tion — even during regeneration.An auto-idling system reduces

engine speed when the controls areinactive for a period of time that can bepre-set by the operator (between threeand 20 seconds), reducing runningcosts and fuel consumption.

Small But SpaciousThough small, these D-Series ECR

excavators provide an enhanced oper-ating experience, with a comfortableenvironment that encourages higherproductivity. Comfort is enhanced byan adjustable seat, superior vibrationand noise insulation, ergonomic arm-rests, intuitively placed controls and

ample leg room. The excavators also were designed

to help ensure operator safety, with anROPS-certified cab, and all-around vis-ibility offered by large expanses of flatglass.

Uptime UPFor extended uptime, the D-Series

compact excavators are easy to serviceand maintain. All service and cleaningpoints are readily accessible at groundlevel and grouped together under awide-opening lockable hood. Boomand arm greasing points also are easilyaccessible, and in general applicationsgreasing need only be carried out every10 to 50 hours. Further maximizing machine uptime

is the optional Volvo CareTrack remotetelematics system, which providesmachine intelligence from fuel con-sumption monitoring to servicinginformation, helping owners optimizemachine performance. For more information, call 717/532-

9181 or visit www.volvo.com.(This story also can be found on

testament to the teamwork and dedication ofour staff,” JimShoemaker Jr., presi-dent, Morbark Inc.,said. “In the 84 dayssince we received theintellectual property,we have moved inven-tory from Oklahoma toMichigan, invested inadditional long-leadinventory, set up after-market parts and serv-ice support for existingBoxer customers, cre-ated a production line— including weld andassembly fixtures —created marketingmaterial, completedour first dealer trainingsessions, and today,completed the production ofour first unit. A lot of peopleplayed a role in making thisa reality. In fact, I sat downand started listing theMorbark employees whohave played a role in helpingwith the Boxer acquisitionand production line, and Istopped counting at 50. Itwas truly amazing howmany of the team cametogether to pull this off.”Currently Morbark is

working to fill Boxer backorders, as well as workingwith their authorized dealernetwork and previous Boxerdealers to ensure that cus-tomers receive unmatched

service, after-sales supportand fast, efficient parts ful-fillment. In June, Morbarkis scheduled to reach itsfull production capacity.“This product line will

Doosan Portable PowerPresents at Annual ULCTThe Utah League of Cities and Towns

(ULCT) recently held its annual RoadSchool in St. George, Utah in April and thisyear’s program included a presentation fromJohn Hargett of Doosan Portable Power. Organized more than 100 years ago,

ULCT serves 245 incorporated municipali-ties throughout Utah, representing municipalgovernment interests at the state and federallevels and providing information, trainingand technical assistance to local officials onmunicipal issues.Hargett’s presentation included the history

of Doosan and information about the com-pany with a focus primarily on the P185 aircompressor models — the P185WJD andP185WYM.Participation in the program was made

possible through Doosan Portable Powerlocal dealer in Salt Lake City and majorsponsor for the Road School, CateEquipment Company.This year’s Road School had more than

300 registered attendees with a focus onreaching all types of state and local govern-ment associations in Utah. The school

includes trade shows, presentations andworkshops by dealers and manufacturers.The 185 cfm units were the focus of

Hargett’s presentation as they are the mostacceptable sized machine for municipalities,cities and public works within Utah.“Doosan Portable Power has enhanced its

products to better meet the needs of munici-palities, and I wanted attendees to get a bet-ter understanding of our full product linemix, specifically the 185 cfm compressors,”Hargett said. “With such a utilized product inthe Utah market, we felt it was important tohighlight the many benefits of the P185WJDand P185WYM for attendees who have usedone or potentially will in the future.”The P185 includes improved serviceabili-

ty, up to 26 percent better fuel economy, 33percent larger tool box, 50 percent noiselevel reduction compared to previous mod-els, improved fluid piping and the mostoptional accessories of any compressor man-ufacturer, according to the company


AGC: Federal Data RevealsNo Need for New RegulationsStatistics.Association officials also noted that an

analysis conducted by the Center forCorporate Equality of OFCCP’s ownenforcement datafound almost no indi-cation that veteransor the disabled arebeing discriminatedagainst by federalcontractors. Thereport, which wasbased on an exhaus-tive study of federalcompliance reviewsand complaint inves-tigations, found thatonly 0.02 percent ofall federal contractorscould be seriouslysuspected of havingdiscriminated against veterans or peoplewith disabilities.Given the lack of data justifying the need

for the rules, and the fact that they will costsignificantly more than OFCCP officials

suggest, Sandherr urged the Obama admin-istration to reconsider finalizing the newemployment mandates for federal contrac-tors. He said the administration shouldinstead re-open the record to determine

whether the rules areneeded.“The fact federal

officials are sittingdown and listening togroups like ours is ahopeful sign theadministration isready to ask toughquestions aboutwhether there is anyjustification to moveforward with thesenew mandates,”Sandherr said. “Sofar, all available fed-eral data makes it

clear that there is simply no need for thesenew regulations.”


AGC from page 1

“So far, all availablefederal data makes itclear that there is simplyno need for these newregulations.”

One of Only Three Highway Tunnels to Be Widened

the way from Idaho Springs to Denver.”It is believed to be one of only a very few

highway tunnels in the United States to bewidened rather than completely replaced,said Wilson. The others are tunnels in theGreat Smokey National Park and the ZionNational Park. The $110 million project is the largest and

among the first Construction ManagerGeneral Contractor (CMGC) projects theColorado Department of Transportation hasawarded, said Bob Smith, CDOT projectengineer, and it’s been on the state’s wish listfor at least 15 years. CMGC projects allow the owner and con-

tractor to share the risk, and it creates anenvironment that is less tense with fewer dis-putes and a working environment more con-ducive to getting the job done, saidBenjamin Acimovic, CDOT project manag-er of Twin Tunnels and chair of the CMGCcommittee.The process begins with a Request for

Proposals, from which prospective contrac-tors are selected to be interviewed. The proj-ect is awarded not to the lowest bidder, but tothe contractor who seems to have the mostexpertise for the job.In this case, that is Kraemer/Obayashi

Joint Venture. Once the contractor is selected, then they

talk price. “They give us what their take is of the

project,” said Smith. “We select totally basedon their fit for the job. We get prices andnegotiate, then go with independent costestimator to make sure they were with 10percent of our independent cost estimate.”Kraemer/Obayashi Joint Venture began

preconstruction work in 2012, upgrading anexisting frontage road, then rerouting trafficfrom the tunnel onto it. “Time and access are the two biggest

challenges,” said Matt Hogan, constructionmanager of Kraemer/Obayashi. “We spent a

year in pre-construction with CDOT and thedesigner to refine the design. CDOT gave usthe direction that we could close the tunnelon April 1 and we’re under mandate to havethree lanes open by Dec. 21 of this year. Weare working 24 hours a day, six days a weekinside the tunnel, excavating the tunnel fromboth headings, to meet that goal.”Crews are using state-of-the-art blasting

techniques to excavate the tunnel and expectto remove 19,700 cu. yd. (15,061 cu m) —or about 2,000 dump truck loads. “It’s drill and blast,” said Hogan. “We

have two Atlas Copco E2C boomer modeldrills on site. They’re expensive drills.”They’re also working with a Fletcher sin-

gle boom jumbo, two Liebherr 932 tunnelexcavators and two robotic shotcrete placingbooms. Hogan describes the latter as “arobotic arm that is controlled remotely andcarries placing hose to the nozzle at the endof the robot to allow for placement ofShotcrete without the need to put workersbelow unsupported ground.”

The blasting is conducted throughout theday, creating closures that last about 20 to 30minutes. Traffic is stopped a safe distancefrom the tunnels prior to the blasting. Oncethe blasting is completed, workers inspectthe westbound tunnel — which is not underconstruction — to ensure it is safe formotorists. Eastbound travelers are moved tothe detour route around the tunnel. There isno blasting during high volume traffic peri-ods. Workers also will remove the 18-in. (45.7

cm) concrete liner of the existing 800-ft.(244 m) tunnel. They’ll widen the tunnelfrom two to three lanes, and expand the cur-rently 2 ft. (.6 m) shoulders to 4 and 10 ft.(1.2 and 3 m) shoulders. Once that’s done,they’ll install a new concrete liner.While it is technically widening the tunnel

already in place, for all intents and purposes,“It’s basically rebuilding the tunnel,” saidSmith. “There’s another tunnel right next toit, so it’s not like you can go in there and gohog wild. We’re constantly monitoring the

westbound tunnel and there is a fuel plantright next to us we have to monitor.”The new lane will add capacity on the

Interstate, but the anticipated improvementwill be more than just the ability to handlemore volume. “The importance of this project is that it

has been a historic pinch point along the cor-ridor,” Wilson said. “A lot of it has to do withhuman psychology, the black hole effect. Asyou go into a tunnel people tend to slowdown. So heading back to Denver, the tunnelautomatically slowed people down.”The new tunnel will be wider and brighter.

The widened shoulders also will help.“There are no real shoulders now, Wilson

said. “That also creates a confining effectthat slows people down. It will be moreinviting.”There also will be a new three-span

bridge. The current bridge has a tight curve,which also lends to the traffic problems. Thenew bridge will be less steep with softercurves, Wilson said.Contractors fully expect to make their

December deadline and they’ve taken anumber of steps to make sure that happenssafely.Three crews work the 24-hour period with

three full-time safety managers on each shift.There are daily safety meetings, as well asbi-weekly safety meetings to keep workersabreast of rapidly changing conditions on thejob. They’ve also set up an incentive pro-gram that rewards workers over three peri-ods for safety, quality and production. “I really do believe we‘ve created a cul-

ture up here where safety and production gohand in hand,” said Hogan. “We’ve madevast improvements regarding the safety onthe project. We’re going to create a jobeveryone can be proud of when we’re done.”
