October represented an important month forLos Angeles County highway construction, as anearly $114 million high occupancy vehicle(HOV) lane project along State Route 60 wascompleted and a $140 million HOV lane project

on Interstate 5 broke ground.The $140.2 million project on I-5 will build

nearly 7 mi. (11.3 km) — 3.4 mi. (5.5 km) in eachdirection — of new bus/carpool lanes between theRonald Reagan Freeway (SR-118) and theHollywood Freeway (SR-170). The project’s gen-eral contractor Flatiron West also will reconstruct

WASHINGTON (AP) Future trac-tor-trailers, school buses, deliveryvans, garbage trucks and heavy-dutypickup trucks must do better at thepump under first-ever fuel efficiencyrules coming from the Obama admin-istration.

The Environmental ProtectionAgency and the TransportationDepartment are moving ahead with aproposal for medium- and heavy-dutytrucks, beginning with those sold inthe 2014 model year and into the 2018model year.

The plan is expected to seek about a20 percent reduction in greenhousegas emissions and fuel consumptionfrom longhaul trucks, according topeople familiar with the plan. Theyspoke on condition of anonymitybecause they did not want to speakpublicly before the official announce-ment.

Overall, the proposal is expected toseek reductions of 10 percent to 20percent in fuel consumption and emis-sions based on the vehicle’s size. Largetractor-trailers tend to be driven up to150,000 miles a year, making themripe for improved miles per gallon.

The rules will cover big rig tractor-trailers, “vocational trucks” such asgarbage trucks and transit and schoolbuses, and work trucks such as heavy-duty versions of the Ford F-Series,Dodge Ram and Chevrolet Silverado.

NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) New Jersey’sgovernor wants to kill a $9 billion-plus train tun-nel to New York City because of runaway costs.Far away, Hawaii’s outgoing governor is havingsecond thoughts about a proposed $5.5 billion railline in Honolulu.

In many of the 48 states in between, infrastruc-ture projects are languishing on the drawing board,awaiting the right mix of creative financing, polit-ical arm-twisting and timing to move forward.And a struggling economy and a surge of politicalcandidates opposed to big spending could make it

a long wait. Has the nation that built the Hoover Dam,

brought electricity to the rural South and engi-neered the massive interstate highway system lostits appetite for big public works projects? At a timewhen other countries are pouring money into steeland concrete, is the United States unwilling tothink long-term?

“My sense is things have changed,” saidAndrew Goetz, a University of Denver professorand an expert on transportation policy. “Peoplenow tend to see any project as a waste of money,and that’s just wrong.”

HOVLane Projects Shaping Highways in Los Angeles Countythe I-5/SR-170 connector, replace sectionsof concrete pavement, and widen four undercrossings.

“I-5 is the backbone of the state’s freewaysystem,” said Caltrans District 7 DirectorMike Miles, adding this improvement proj-ect will significantly advance mobility with-in this important corridor.

The project is slated for a spring 2015completion.

On Oct. 14 Caltrans announced the com-pletion of the $113.9 million State Route60/Pomona Freeway project by inaugurating11.5 mi. (18.5 km) of new HOV lanes.

The seven-stage, SR-60 project involvedconstructing one westbound and one east-bound HOV lane from the Route 57/60Interchange to the Route 605/60 Interchange— an 11.5 mi. stretch of heavily traveledfreeway — without eliminating existinglanes of traffic.

The project also included construction ofsound walls, the widening of numerous on-and off-ramps and some bridgework.

Beginning in June 2007 constructioncrews began work on stage one of the proj-ect, which included the construction of 24sound walls and retaining walls; the widen-ing of two bridges; the retrofitting of two

bridges; and the demolition of two pedestri-an over-crossings, according to Tim Wilson,project executive for Skanska USA CivilWest, the prime contractor and lowest quali-fied bidder.

Following sound wall and bridge work,stage one also involved widening the exist-ing SR-60 eastbound shoulder from 8 to 10ft. (2.4 to 3 m) along the entire 11.5-mi.stretch.

During construction, specialty equipmentused included a pipe boring machine, asphaltpulverizers, hoe ram excavators, Hyrambackhoe breakers, and a Lo-Drill attachmentfor CIDH piles, according to Wilson.

Stage two of the project was broken into a“West” and “East” portion, with wideningthe westbound shoulder of SR-60 by 2 ft.(0.6 m) being the focus of the “West” por-tion.

Once the westbound shoulder wideningwas complete, construction crews beganwork on the “East” half of the second stage,which included the removal of the existingeastbound median barrier rail and asphaltshoulder to make way for the eastboundHOV lane.

Following removal of the barrier rail andshoulder, crews constructed a new concretepavement roadway section, which now

serves as the eastbound HOV lane, andinstalled new barrier rails.

Aside from specialty equipment, otherequipment used on the project included:Caterpillar 950 and 966 loaders, 330 excava-tors, 446 backhoes, Bobcat 328 andCaterpillar 314 excavators, CommanderIII/Gomaco 2500 paving machines, 45-tontruck cranes, 35-ton rough terrain cranes,613 scrapers, manlifts, bottom dumps, tenwheelers, super 10s, forklifts, boom trucksand traffic control trucks.

Stage three of construction representedthe first of four, 60-day ramp closures.

Each stage of ramp closures affected spe-cific on- and off- ramps along a certain por-tion of the 11.5-mi. stretch.

The closures ensured that the elevatedramps would be reconstructed so they tiedinto the newly widened portions of freeway.

Following the 60-day ramp closures,westbound median construction occurred,which consisted of barrier removal and road-way excavation of the existing medianasphalt concrete — similar to what occurredalong the eastbound portion of freeway dur-ing stage two.

Stage seven also involved construction ofthe westbound HOV lane and the installationof new barrier railing.

Wilson said at its peak, the project had130 to 150 craft union personnel onsite.

Because more than half of the 11.5-mi.

Case Construction Equipment Sept. 22 launched a com-plete update of its loader/backhoe product line, introducingfour new N Series loader/backhoe models. The event tookplace at the company’s Tomahawk Customer Center inTomahawk, Wis.

The new Case 580N, 580 Super N, 580 Super N WideTrack and 590 Super N backhoes replace the company’s MSeries 3 product line. The new machines all feature 4.5-L,turbocharged engines, ranging from 79 hp (59 kW) in the580N to 108 hp (80.5 kW) in the 590SN.

“The N Series was engineered from the ground up,” saidRob Marringa, marketing manager, Case ConstructionEquipment. “We’ve taken the flagship product of the Caselineup and delivered best-in-class performance from back tofront. The new N Series really is ‘stronger everywhere.’TheN Series extends a legacy of loader/backhoe leadership thatbegan when Case introduced the industry’s first factory-inte-grated loader/backhoe in 1957.”

CCaassee PPoowweerr LLiifftt BBoooossttss BBaacckkhhooee CCaappaacciittyy“One new feature that is a real game-changer on the N

Series is Case-exclusive Power Lift,” said Marringa. “PowerLift channels the hydraulic power directly to the boom with

the touch of a button. As a result, our back-hoe lifting capabilities outperform competi-tive models by as much as 39 percent —while running at low engine RPMs.”

The increased backhoe strength takesnew N Series performance beyond the pre-vious M Series models, according to themanufacturer. A new fabricated boomdesign increases strength while maintainingthe over-center design. Backhoe bucket pinsare larger and stronger to accommodate theimproved lift capacities. Meanwhile, the NSeries continues its maintainability withtriple bushings and floating pins.

By providing lift capabilities comparableto a 5-ton (4.5 t) excavator, with enhanceddig depths, the N Series loader/backhoesmay eliminate the need to trailer an excava-tor to the job site.

“During our extensive R&D process, we enlisted equip-ment operators throughout North America to test the NSeries enhancements,” explained Marringa. “Commentsfrom Dennis Zentner, DRZ Contracting, in Delta, British

Columbia, were typical. He told us, ‘The580SN WT backhoe performed well ongrading, trenching, backfilling, heavy lift-ing, hole-patching and rock-breaking. Itsheavy-lifting ability is fantastic. It willsave me from using an excavator for lift-ing.’”

NN SSeerriieess FFeeaattuurreess IInnccrreeaasseeddLLooaaddeerr LLiifftt,, BBrreeaakkoouutt,, RReeaacchhThe Case N Series machines also

deliver more power to the loader, forincreased breakout and lift capabilities.The new loader arms are stronger andlonger, providing greater loader reach.This lets operators dump material into thecenter of a truck for faster loading andincreased payloads, according to themanufacturer.

Case Construction EquipmentLaunches Four New Backhoes

Tomahawk Customer Center Provides Demonstrations, Training in North Woods Setting

The four new N Series loader/backhoe models, includ-ing the 590 Super N, offer increases in backhoe break-out force and lift, along with increased loader break-out force, lift and reach.

Power Lift delivers backhoe lift capabilities equivalent to a 5.5 ton (5 t)excavator and the dig depth of an 8.2 ton (7.5 t) excavator.

The Case N Series machines feature increased loader breakout andlift. The redesigned loader arms are stronger and longer, enabling thebucket to dump into the center of a truck for more efficient loading.

The Tomahawk Customer Center, a 500-acrefacility located in Wisconsin’s north woods, pro-vides hands-on product demonstrations and train-ing for more than 2,000 visitors each year andhas been serving Case customers, dealers andemployees for more than 60 years. The facilitystands on the site of the Drott Manufacturing prov-ing grounds, which date back to the early 1900s.

The customer center features modern training, afleet of more than 60 pieces of new equipment tooperate and log cabin-style lodges for accommo-dations. Detailed presentations on Case innova-tions and technology are provided at the welcome

center and solution center. A customer visit typically includes classroom

presentations, machine walk-arounds, hands-onmaintenance sessions, customized productdemonstrations and equipment operation sessions.

A 3,000-sq.-ft. product review center providesa panoramic view to a product demonstrationarea where visitors can see the full line of Caseconstruction equipment in operation. Presentersinside the product review center are able to com-municate directly with Case operators who arerunning the equipment on the proving grounds. Acamera inside the equipment provides a big-

screen display from the operator’s point of view,showing how the operator engages each featureto perform various tasks.

Visitors have the opportunity to operate the fullrange of Case equipment, including excavators,wheel loaders, loader/backhoes, crawler dozers,skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, motor-graders, compaction equipment, articulatedtrucks, rough-terrain forklifts and loader/tool car-riers.

The Tomahawk Customer Center is located nearthe town of Tomahawk, approximately 45 milesnorth of Wausau, Wis.

The Case N Series introduces anew transmission family, thePowershift S-Type, Powershift H-Type and Powershuttle options. Alltransmission choices are available onthe 580SN, 580SN WT and 590SN.The 580N offers the Powershift S-Type and Powershuttle transmis-sions.

The two Powershift transmissionsinclude four forward and threereverse gears, and the Powershuttletransmission offers four forward andfour reverse gears. The Powershifttransmission provides a standardkick-down feature and introducesSmartClutch modulation. TheSmartClutch feature lets operatorscustomize the transition from for-ward to reverse to meet the demandsof their specific application.

The N Series machines deliverimproved cycle times and efficien-cies through the new VariableVolume Hydraulic (VVH) System.The VVH System operates at a lowertemperature than competitivehydraulic systems. The 580N contin-ues to offer a single gear pump openhydraulic system.

A new auxiliary hydraulic systemfor powering attachments includesflow control as a standard feature,automatically matching hydraulicflow to the needs of the attachments.Additionally, hoses are routed insideof the boom structure to providegreater protection for applicationssuch as demolition. These improve-ments in hydraulics also help achievegreater fuel efficiency, according tothe manufacturer.

Marringa added that Case back-hoes have always given contractors asolution for excavating, digging, car-rying and loading.

“A loader/backhoe’s versatilityincludes the ability to drive to a jobsite. The Case machines can travel atup to 24 miles per hour – and theover-center backhoe design makestravel smoother.”

George MacIntyre, Case Construction, goesover the improvements that have been made tothe boom of the N Series backhoe.

Case N Series Extends Backhoe LegacyThe introduction of the Case N Series

loader/backhoe product line writes themost recent chapter in a 50-plus-yearhistory that began in 1957 with theindustry’s first factory-integrated tractorloader/backhoe, the Case 320.

While success may have a thousandfathers, the birth of the loader/backhoecan be reasonably credited to oneman, Elton Long, a mechanical engi-neer who joined Case in 1956 as partof the company’s acquisition ofAmerican Tractor Corp (ATC). Duringhis 28 years with Case, Long received46 patents for his work in designingand improving construction equipment.

His biggest impact on the companyand the industry came soon after theCase-ATC merger, when Long led theteam that developed the first fully facto-ry-integrated loader/backhoe.

At the 1956 Road Show expo, ATCincluded in its exhibit a Case 300crawler loader that featured a backhoeattachment. This one-of-a-kind hybridattracted enough attention that Casedecided to produce a combinedloader/backhoe model.

The task fell to Elton Long and histeam, whose creation was launched asthe Case 320 loader/backhoe, withCase shipping the first factory-built uniton Feb. 26, 1957.

A new product category was born.

Industry ContributionThe original Case loader/backhoe

provided many advantages over theretrofit approaches of other manufac-turers. The integrated loader/backhoewas compact and easy to handle in avariety of applications, including jobspreviously done by hand.

Its integral design took into accountthe different types of loading, diggingand carrying requirements that themachine would experience, and result-ed in a manufactured product toughenough to withstand the combinedstresses of these various applications.

Prior to the Case loader/backhoeintroduction, typical loaders and back-hoes of that era were not used in heavyconstruction. Loaders were mostly usedin agriculture, rarely lifting anythingheavier than manure or hay bales.Neither loaders nor backhoes hadmuch digging capacity. The integrated

loader/backhoe helped contractorsreduce costs, increase productivity andhandle more work with less equipment.

In addition to being the first machineof its kind, the loader/backhoe fea-tured components that were all Caseproducts, enabling quick designchanges and testing, as well as a singlewarranty to cover the entire machine.

Generations of LeadershipThe Case loader/backhoe history

has included a number of important“firsts” — such as the Extendahoeextendible dipper stick, return-to-digand return-to-travel functionality, ridecontrol, side lighting and the Casetrademark over-center boom design.

Decades of continuous productdevelopment have led to the Case NSeries introduction. The Caseloader/backhoe evolution includesmany milestones:

• The Case Construction King back-hoes of the mid-1960s added hydro-static steering, heavy-duty axles andsteering cylinders and innovations suchas automatic self-leveling and semi-automatic return-to-dig. Also new wasthe reverse-linkage loader bucketdesign that greatly enhanced diggingpower and grading efficiency.

• The Case 580CK, launched in1969, featured a number of advance-ments, including the hydraulicExtendahoe extendible dipper stick.Also making its first appearance on the580CK was the “side-shift” backhoedesign, still offered on European mod-els, which allowed the backhoe to slidefrom side to side on the back of thechassis, enabling easier use in closequarters.

• The Case B Series loader/back-hoes of the early 1970s introduced the“over-center” backhoe design, patentedby Case and Elton Long in 1968. Thisallowed the boom and cylinders to restforward of the upright position, movingthe center of gravity to the front for bet-ter stability during roading and trailer-ing.

• Also in the early 1970s, Caseintroduced the 780CK, the firstloader/backhoe with a unitized frame.This machine was capable of with-standing higher stress, load and break

Norco Equipment was formed quietly inthe spring of 2008, when a team of industryinsiders slowly began building the compa-ny’s foundation while they defined theirgame-changing business philosophy.According to Bill Van Sant, chairman ofNorco LLC, the parent to Norco Equipment,the group began by acquiring companies thatwere creating highly original customer-focused equipment for niche industries thatwere clearly in search of new ideas.

“Norco Equipment was founded on twokey principles,” said Van Sant. “First, wewill only manufacture value-engineered anddifferentiated products that deliver the reli-able performance customers need at a pricethey can afford. Second, we will recruit peo-ple who have the knowledge and passion fortheir industry to provide the kind of servicesupport that can help our dealers and cus-tomers succeed in their business.”

The result is a “customer-first” culturethat Van Sant and his executive team are nur-turing throughout the Norco organization,from product design to dealer service.

“In today’s economic environment,” VanSant said, “building your business modelaround the customer is really a game-chang-ing concept.”

Norco’s philosophy of innovation centerson Lou Holtz’often-quoted “Platinum Rule”— an update to the traditional Golden Rule.

“We are usually told we should ‘treat oth-ers like you want to be treated.’At Norco wesay, ‘treat customers like they want to betreated,” said Van Sant.

In today’s tough economy, customers arelooking to their dealers and manufacturersfor more help with their business, whilemany OEMs are tightening up dealer service

and aftermarket support to keep their owncosts in check. Putting the customer first atNorco Equipment means restoring a highlevel of personal service to high value prod-ucts.

“We are in a great position to make a dif-ference,” Van Sant explained, “simplybecause we aren’t carrying any baggagefrom the past. We don’t have old habits toovercome. We have the freedom to make ourinvestments where they do the most good forthe customer.”

As an example, Van Sant cited the newPuma and Dynamic equipment lines thatNorco Equipment is now introducing.

“We assembled a complete bioenergyproduct line, bringing together equipmentfrom different specialized companies andgiving them a new home under one roof. ThePuma and Dynamic lines make us the firstOEM to offer a complete ‘stump to chip’solution for this market. The individualproducts are well made and well proven, butunder the new brands they are now part of acomplete business solution for contractors.”

The Puma and Dynamic lineups offer asimilar capability for cut-to-length woodprocessors and firewood operations.Customers in each of these businesses areworking to develop an integrated productionprocess that suits their local operation andmarket.

“Instead of ‘innovating’ for its own sake,”Van Sant continued, “we are investing in theright personnel to go into the field and helpthem put together customized solutions.”

A Different Approach Requires a Different Culture

Leading the “customer first” crusade atNorco Equipment are Don Dubey, presidentand CEO, and Chuck Dull, senior vice pres-ident sales and marketing — two men build-ing on a lifetime of achievement in theequipment industry. Supporting them is ateam of industry professionals providing ahigh level of expertise with varied equip-ment technologies and processes. Whilebringing together a broad collection of smallcompanies to form a larger organization,said Dubey, Norco Equipment is determinedto continue operating like a small company.

“Our people are empowered to makedecisions quickly,” he explained. “Theyhave ingrained knowledge of the equipmentand their customers’ businesses. We can uti-lize their field experience to provide theattention to detail and superior service that acustomer would expect from a small compa-ny. At the same time, our field staff and deal-ers can offer their customers the peace-of-mind that comes from being backed by theresources of a large company. We are givingour people the mandate and the confidenceto treat customers the way they, not the com-pany, would like to be treated.”

A Fresh Start and a New NameNorco Equipment has assembled a lineup

of products for the emerging bioenergy sec-tor. It has taken it a step further by reengi-neering the equipment and reintroducing itunder a new shared brand.

“We took a long and hard look at theopportunities in bioenergy and related mar-kets, driven by rising demand for alternateforms of power generation,” said Dubey.“To meet the demand for pellets and liquidbiofuels, we knew contactors would beinvesting in tree harvesting, chipping, grind-ing, and screening equipment. We also couldsee that there wasn’t a single OEM able tosupport the entire process with equipment orexpertise.”

Contactors entering the new industry hadno choice but to shop around and try toassemble production systems on their own.

“Norco Equipment is positioned to helpcustomers simplify their purchasing and

Norco Equipment Takes Unique Approach in Tough Times

Norco Aims to ‘Change the Game’Norco Equipment markets the Puma and Dynamic equipment brands for

forestry, bioenergy, recycling, demolition, solid waste and related industries.Its strategy of investing in respected niche manufacturers has consolidatedthe product lines and capabilities of companies including Lane, K2, G&R,ADC Global and Dynamic. Through its parent, Norco LLC, NorcoEquipment also enjoys a close channel to Norco Attachments.

However, the chairman of Norco LLC, Bill Van Sant, feels that the scope ofthe product lineup alone will not be Norco Equipment’s key to success.Along with the equipment, Norco Equipment brings together a vast wealthof industry expertise. Operating as an integrated, multi-line OEM, he said,Norco Equipment has the resources to fulfill its promise of “treating cus-tomers the way they want to be treated,” with responsive service and appli-cation support.

“We are serving very unique market niches, often in new business opera-tions and with new business operators. We not only offer them a full rangeof equipment for their complete production process, we have the right peo-ple and expertise to help them make their processes profitable,” he said.

“That’s the game changer.” see NORCO page 20

The Puma 612 forwarder and the Dynamic 5240 grinder are just two of the prod-ucts leading the way for Norco Equipment.

Norco Equipment Makes Mostof ‘Less Is More’Approachimprove their process with a coordinatedapproach,” said Dull.

Norco Equipment’s newly branded Pumaline offers contractors a single source for har-vesters, forwarders, CTL processors andfirewood processors as well as complemen-tary chippers, grinders and trommel screensfrom the Dynamic equipment line — anoth-er new Norco Equipment brand.

“There is nowhere else a forestry/bioener-gy operator can acquire a complete ‘stump tochip’ solution like this, complete with end-to-end factory service support,” said Dull.

‘Dynamic’ Innovation forCustomers On the Move

While the recent economy has created dif-ficulties for most traditional equipment mar-kets, Van Sant said the industry shakeup hasopened doors for Norco Equipment.

“Contractors have gone looking foropportunities to replace former revenuestreams. Many are turning to niche industriesand specializations that didn’t exist before.Our products were created in response to thechanging needs in these areas. For instance,the equipment in the Puma lineup serves dis-tinct new segments operating within forestryindustry.

The Dynamic brand, meanwhile, focuseson new niches that have emerged as the recy-cling and demolition industries continue togrow and diversify. With these specializedbusinesses comes the demand for more spe-cialized equipment and solutions for moreincreased revenue stream opportunities.With a little customization, grinders, chip-pers and screens found in biofuel operationsare making their way into waste processingfacilities and demolition sites, where densi-fying and grinding material is increasinglypart of daily operations.

Until now, these niche industries havebeen served by entrepreneurial insiders whoapplied their insight to design machineryuniquely suited to its task. NorcoEquipment’s start-up strategy was to seekout the best of these and get them workingtogether.

“What these companies needed wasstrong leadership, marketing expertise, acommon vision and the financial resourcesto grow,” stated Van Sant. “In most cases, westill have the original founders on board.Their industry knowledge is crucial to NorcoEquipment’s strategy of delivering value tocustomers.”

A common theme of each acquisitionmade by Norco Equipment is that the equip-ment produced by each company was well-made and purpose-built, with no frills.

“Our Puma and Dynamic brands simplyoffer high quality machines with customer-

friendly features at an affordable price,”commented Dull. “Our value-engineeringpromise means we don’t invest engineeringresources in bells and whistles. Our engi-neers are challenged to make basic equip-ment more productive, more reliable or morecost-efficient to manufacture and service. Ifit doesn’t add value for customers, we don’tdo it.”

Dubey pointed out that, while the Pumaand Dynamic lines were all built aroundexisting, field-proven equipment, NorcoEquipment is continuing to invest in productdevelopment.

“We didn’t just paint the guarding andchange the name on the side of the gear,” hesaid. “We are taking the next step to ensureconsistency across the line, to simplify serv-icing and make sure every piece reflects ourbrand values.”

Walking the TalkNorco Equipment’s “less is more”

approach to product design also is reflectedin its staffing. Like its customers who movequickly on the opportunities they see, NorcoEquipment is built to move quickly too.

“We set about hiring the right people andputting a strong support infrastructure inplace,” Dubey continued. “We have a veryexperienced team of sales engineers andbusiness consultants on the front lines. Theyare out there with our dealers and customersto develop solutions for their productivitychallenges. And they also have a very directline back to the factory to make things hap-pen. We are relying on the quality of our peo-ple, not our number of people, to create suc-cess.”

To deliver on the brand promise of after-sales service and support, Norco Equipmenthas developed regional centers coordinatedthrough a central support center, located inOconto Falls, Wis. The regional centers arecharged with handling all customer sales,parts support, and field service functions.The central support center provides diagnos-tics support for the regional centers, dealers,and end-users along with warranty adminis-tration, certified training, and product orien-tation for end-users. Certified training pro-grams and product orientation are key serv-ices that small equipment companies canrarely afford, but Norco Equipment sees thislevel of service as a prime example of its“game changing” business philosophy.

This is where the Norco Equipment teamsteps up to the plate,” said Dubey.“Supporting the Norco Equipment productlines regionally with superior parts and serv-ice, expert application support, plus all theresources of the Central Support Center —these capabilities will truly set NorcoEquipment apart in the markets we serve.”

Public Works Projects Face Uncertaintyadded. “High-profile projects get publicized and theybecome a symbol for any infrastructure project that’s outthere, and even the ones that are justified get tarnished by thesame charge.”

The so-called Bridge to Nowhere would have cost hun-dreds of millions of dollars to connect one Alaskan town toan island of 50 residents. It figured in the 2008 presidentialelection when then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was criticizedfor initially backing the plan, which was eventuallyscrapped.

The other cautionary tale is Boston’s Big Dig, the high-way and tunnel project that was originally envisioned at lessthan $3 billion and wound up costing nearly $15 billion.

The Big Dig has made it far easier for motorists to get toand from Boston’s airport, and it eliminated a noisy andunsightly elevated highway that cast a shadow over somehistoric neighborhoods. But construction was plagued byyears of delays, corruption and shoddy workmanship thatresulted in the death of a motorist in a ceiling collapse.

Other countries are spending heavily on job-creatinginfrastructure. Projects include Algeria’s $11.2 billion east-west highway; a planned $10 billion bridge linking theIndonesian islands of Java and Sumatra; and China’s $60 bil-lion Yangtze River diversion project.

Australia plans to spend $38 billion to relieve traffic con-gestion in Melbourne, while Britain is preparing for a $45billion high-speed rail link between London and the WestMidlands. Japan is building a $70 billion highway fromTokyo to Osaka, scheduled for completion in 2020.

A report this month by the U.S. Treasury Department andthe Council of Economic Advisers paints a picture of a coun-try dissatisfied with the state of America’s aging infrastruc-ture and in favor of improvements, but not necessarily eagerto commit the dollars to fix it.

Infrastructure spending in the United States stands at 2percent of the country’s gross domestic product — half whatit was in 1960 — compared with approximately 9 percent inChina and 5 percent for Europe, according to the govern-ment report.

“During recessions it is common for state and local gov-ernments to cut back on capital projects — such as buildingschools, roads and parks — in order to meet balanced budg-et requirements,” the report concluded. “However, the needfor improved and expanded infrastructure is just as great dur-ing a downturn as it is during a boom.”

The American Society of Civil Engineers calculated thatthe United States would need to spend an additional $1.1 tril-lion over the next five years to restore roads, bridges, dams,levees and other infrastructure to good condition. In its latestreport card, the engineering society gave the nation’s publicworks a “D” grade.

“Somehow we believe if we ignore it, it will go away,”said Blaine Leonard, the society’s president. “And it won’t.We have to stop hitting the snooze button on this problem.”

He said now is a good time to spend money on infra-structure because construction companies in this weak econ-omy are hungry for work and the costs are relatively low asa result.

Major infrastructure projects of the past benefited fromstrong leadership, notably the interstate highway systempushed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s, hesaid. Today, though, “there isn’t any high-level leadershipabout infrastructure,” so there’s no agreement about priori-ties, Leonard said.

CG/LA Infrastructure LLC, a Washington consultingfirm, recently put together a list of the worthiest 100 largeinfrastructure projects in North America, totaling about $400billion. Among the suggestions: a next-generation air traffic

control system; high-speed rail linking Minneapolis,Milwaukee and Chicago; a pair of highway projects inTexas; and the tunnel that New Jersey’s governor has threat-ened to scuttle.

To be sure, there are large-scale projects under way,notably in California, where a combination of federal dollarsand voter-approved bonds and local tax increases are fund-ing improvements, from highway widening to the $6.2 bil-lion renovation of the Bay Bridge between San Franciscoand Oakland. And recently, Arizona and Nevada hailed theopening of a $240 million bridge that bypasses Hoover Dam.

However, many projects recently completed or in thepipeline secured funding before the economy went into aslide. Some of them might not be approved today.

In New Jersey, construction on a rail tunnel connectingNew Jersey and New York City — the largest transportationproject under way in the United States — began in 2009under then-Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat. It is projected todouble train capacity at peak times as well as provide 6,000construction jobs immediately and up to 40,000 jobs after itscompletion in 2018. About $6 billion of the cost is beingcovered by the federal government and the Port Authority ofNew York and New Jersey.

In early October, Republican Gov. Chris Christieannounced he was pulling the plug because the cost hadescalated from $5 billion in 2005 to more than $9 billion bythe federal government’s estimate, and as much as $14 bil-lion by Christie’s reckoning.

“I simply cannot put the taxpayers of the state of NewJersey on what would be a never-ending hook,” he said.

Christie later agreed to reconsider. In Hawaii, Republican Gov. Linda Lingle announced

recently that she wouldn’t sign off on a federally subsidizedrail line until an updated economic study is conducted. Andthat may not be completed before she leaves office in lessthan two months. That means the project’s fate could be inher successor’s hands.

In Seattle, new Mayor Mike McGinn is threatening tohold up construction of a massive highway tunnel to replacethe waterfront’s dilapidated, earthquake-damaged AlaskanWay Viaduct because he fears city taxpayers will be on thehook if costs spiral beyond the $4.2 billion price tag.

“The issue of the overall cost of the tunnel has been a con-cern to voters since before the recession, and I think theseverity of the state’s and the city’s fiscal situation is causingpeople to take a harder look at ... an expensive and risky proj-ect,” McGinn said.

In Wisconsin, Ohio and California, Republican candidatesfor governor have vowed they won’t endorse high-speed railprojects, despite the promise of billions of dollars fromWashington.

In the United States, it often takes a catastrophe to giveinfrastructure improvements more urgency. TheMinneapolis bridge collapse in 2007 that killed 13 peopleprompted reviews of aging bridges around the country.

“Unfortunately, our attention span is short,” Leonard said.“You would think the Minneapolis bridge collapse wouldhave sent repercussions throughout the system that wouldhave resulted in a transportation funding bill, but it didn’t.Even bridge funding bills didn’t get through Congress.”

Consultant Norman Anderson of CG/LA Infrastructuresaid the federal government’s recent emphasis on smaller,“shovel-ready” projects to stimulate the economy is mis-guided and shows a lack of vision.

“You don’t do ‘shovel-ready.’That is idiotic and extreme-ly uninformed,” he said in an e-mail. “You do projects nowbecause they produce value for an economy 20 to 30 yearsinto the future, as well as producing immediate jobs.”

the nation’s fleet as a way to reduce dependence on oil andcut greenhouse gas emissions tied to global warming.

The fleet of new cars, pickup trucks and SUVs will needto reach 35.5 mpg by 2016, and the government is develop-ing plans for future vehicle models that could push the stan-dards to 47 to 62 mpg by 2025.

Medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks are much less fuel-efficient than conventional automobiles; the fleet of tractor-trailers typically get about 6 to 7 mpg, while work trucks canachieve 10 to 11 mpg. But they still consume about 20 per-cent of the transportation fuel in the United States.

Margo Oge, director of the EPA’s Office of Transportationand Air Quality, told reporters the proposed rules would be a“win-win situation for the country, the economy, climatechange and energy security.” She declined to release details.

President Barack Obama was joined by truck manufac-turers in the Rose Garden in May when he said the govern-ment would release the first-ever proposed standards forgreenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency for large trucksthis year. Obama estimated then that the fuel efficiency oftractor-trailers could be improved by 25 percent using exist-ing technologies.

“This is going to bring down the costs of transporting —for transporting goods, serving businesses and consumersalike,” Obama said on May 21, flanked by executives withDaimler Trucks, Volvo, Cummins and Navistar, and truckingindustry and union officials.

The improvements in fuel efficiency will come through acombination of more efficient engines, improved aerody-namics and better tires.

Environmental groups have pointed to a NationalAcademy of Sciences report this year that said the truckscould make broad improvements during the decade throughexisting technologies. The report found that using advanceddiesel engines in tractor-trailers could reduce fuel consump-tion by up to 20 percent by 2020 while hybrid versions ofgarbage trucks and buses could see a 35 percent cut in fueluse by 2020.

“Whether you are a company or an individual truckowner, you will be saving money on day one because you’llbe saving more on fuel than increased loan payments on abig truck,” said David Friedman, research director for theclean vehicles program of the Union of ConcernedScientists.

N Series Cab Upgrades Enhance Operator Efficiencywindows provide easy communication to the back of themachine and improve cross-ventilation comfort.

A new side lighting package helps illuminate the entireperimeter of the N Series machine, greatly enhancing opera-tor and job site safety, and boosting productivity.

The new lighting package improves performance by 28percent, providing enhanced visibility and overlapping fieldcoverage, according to the manufacturer. The new, “easyflex” side lights offer 45 degree rotation to deliver extra light-ing where it’s needed most.

“The new N Series machines light up the entire perimeterof the machine,” said Marringa. “This means the entire side-to-side range of backhoe movement — and beyond — isilluminated. This not only gives the operator a better sense ofcontrol; it also boosts productivity at any time of day ornight.”

As in previous models, the N Series backhoes includecomfortable, adjustable operator seats and ergonomicallyplaced controls along with all-season heating and air condi-tioning systems for increased operator comfort. The N Seriescabs also are quiet — at 72 decibels — providing an envi-ronment in which the operator can concentrate on the task athand.

AAttttaacchhmmeennttss AAdddd VVaalluueeCase also offers a range of attachments for the N Series

backhoes, including hydraulic hammers, brooms, forks,augers and rakes. Case leads the industry in providing theonly cab-activated hydraulic backhoe quick-coupler, hand-held hydraulics and loader quick-coupler options.

out levels.• In the early 1980s, as part of a joint ven-

ture, Case began using an advanced generationof diesel engines for its loader/backhoes. TheCase Family I engines offered higher fuel econo-my, lower emissions, simpler design andadvances such as automatic belt-tensioning.

• Case L Series 2 loader/backhoes introducedin the late 1990s included such improvements asride control for vastly improved load retentionand roading of the machines, and a hydraulicquick coupler for the loader bucket that enabledthe operator to engage and disengage attach-ments without leaving the seat.

• Case M Series loader/backhoes, introducedin the past decade, featured a completelyredesigned cab for enhanced operator comfort,safety and efficiency. Another M Series advance-ment was the backhoe pro control system, whichcombined anti-rebound swing with improvementsin boom and dipper control. This translated intofaster, more accurate trenching with greateroperator comfort.

Navistar MaxxForce 7 Offers Truck Diesel Engine DesignThe powerful 6.4-L MaxxForce 7 includes a new rugged

300-hp (223.6 kW) model that offers medium truck ownersadded fuel economy and low overall cost of ownership. Itcombines a 28,000-psi (1,900 bar) high-pressure common-rail fuel system, dual sequential turbocharger system and ahigh strength compacted graphite iron (CGI) block to powerall standard-cab models of International DuraStar Class 6/7commercial trucks and the new International TerraStar Class4/5 commercial trucks. Four available ratings range from220 to 300 hp (164 to 223.6 kW) and 560 to 660 lb.-ft.torque.

The MaxxForce 7-powered TerraStar will be matchedwith an Allison 1000 transmission for optimum power out-put.

“This V-8 marks one of the most significant productupgrades in our history as we met the market’s challenge forbig power from an efficient, reliable and durable platform,”said Jim Hebe, Navistar senior vice president, NorthAmerican sales operations. “Customers whose businessinvolves pickup and delivery, towing and recovery, land-scape or emergency vehicles such as ambulances, will findthe MaxxForce 7 to be the perfect fit for their operations withtrue commercial vehicle power, durability and capability.”

For higher performance and increased durability, animproved air-management strategy includes dual sequentialturbochargers and a dual-path exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) cooling system. The smaller, primary turbo respondsquickly for immediate take-off at low engine speeds and thelarger, secondary turbo provides peak power at higher speedsand on steep grades. Free-wheel turbo design protectsagainst vibrations for improved durability. Dual-path EGRcooling provides cooler EGR in a robust, solidly mountedcast-aluminum housing that suspends critical components toresist vibration and increase reliability. A floating-core EGRcooler design allows for thermal expansion, which signifi-cantly extends system performance and life, according to themanufacturer.

The high-pressure common-rail fuel system enables pre-cise fuel dosing, injection timing and optimal combustion.This results in better fuel efficiency, in-cylinder reduction ofemissions, and a quietly running diesel engine. TheMaxxForce 7 also is compatible with quality B5 to B20biodiesel blends that meet the industry specification.

The MaxxForce 7’s CGI block brings increased durabili-ty and lower noise without added weight, compared to typi-

cal gray iron. Because CGI has at least 75 percent higher ten-sile strength, 45 percent higher stiffness and near double thefatigue strength of gray iron, castings don’t have to be asthick and heavy in order to achieve the desired structuralintegrity and durability. At just 1,225 lbs. (555.6 kg), the2010 MaxxForce 7 V-8 adds payload and axle capability.

The MaxxForce 7 also offers unaided cold-starting capa-bility to minus 20 F, with an intake-air grid heater so it’sready to go at every turn of the key. Hydraulic roller-cam fol-lowers provide a service-free valve train, as valve lashadjustment is not required.

Another key feature of the MaxxForce 7 is its chassis-mounted electronic control unit with standard built-in elec-tronic engine protection features, which automatically guardagainst adverse operating conditions.

International brand on-highway commercial vehiclespowered by 2010 MaxxForce engines will use MaxxForceAdvanced EGR emissions technology. MaxxForce-poweredvehicles require only diesel and operate just as commercialvehicles of the recent past.

New XHA2 Loader Tire Caters to Infrastructure, Utility SitesMichelin’s newest size of its XHA2 loader tire is ideal for

machines in the construction industry that operate on infrastructureand utility sites.

“We’ve seen great success for the XHA2 tire in its quarry size thatbecame available in May,” said Roger Lucas, vice president of salesand marketing, Michelin Earthmover Tires. “Quarries, and some con-struction sites, around the world are already experiencing the capa-bilities of this tire. With this new size, even more equipment for con-struction sites, government projects, infrastructure sites and utilitywork will now be able to benefit from the many advantages that theXHA2 tire offers.”

The tire is designed to accomplish three goals — reduce hourlyoperating costs, ensure that work continues smoothly and safely, andimprove operator working conditions. Along with the latest 23.5R25size, the 26.5R25 size became available in May. Two remaining sizesare scheduled to be introduced in 2010 — the 29.5R25 and 20.5R25sizes.

The increased durability of the MICHELIN XHA2 tire allowsvehicles to remain up and running, which keeps the site’s productivi-ty high. To achieve this result, Michelin integrated three technologiesinto the tire:

• Additional rubber has been incorporated in the tread, making thetire even more damage-resistant.

• The sidewalls have been strengthened with a special protectiverib and anti-scrape shields.

• Michelin has developed a sidewall rubber compound that resistsexpansion of cuts and splits into the air chamber to help reduce cost-

ly flats.The MICHELIN XHA2 tire lasts at least 5 percent longer

than its predecessor, the MICHELIN XHA tire, accordingto the manufacturer.

The MICHELIN XHA2 tire’s traction helps get thejob done faster. The 9 percent deeper tread (com-pared to XHAtire) improves traction and makes thetire self-cleaning — expelling earth caughtbetween tread blocks while reducing temporarylosses of grip. This optimized traction reducesrolling resistance and therefore fuel consump-tion. The MICHELIN XHA2 tire’s tread designreduces vibrations that can be felt by operatorsand damage mechanical components.Additionally, the tire reduces the vibrationscaused by heavy loads and frequent changes ofdirection due to its larger contact patch, accord-ing to the manufacturer.

The MICHELIN XHA2 tire also features acasing that makes the tire easier to retread, there-by generating additional cost-savings for compa-nies. It also benefits society as a whole since aretread tire produces less waste and requires fewerraw materials.

With its fuel-saving, low-maintenance and low-cost of

operation features, we believe the UltraShift HV will go along way to further reinforce this commitment.”

The HV is capableof handling

torque capacities up to 600 ft. lbs. and loads up to 33,000 lbs.(15,000 kg) gross vehicle weight. The UltraShift HV trans-mission is ideally suited for pickup/delivery, service/utilityand recovery applications.

Additional key features and benefits of the UltraShift HVtransmission include:

• No scheduled maintenance: no filters to changefeature provides lower maintenance and reduced

downtime costs.• Hill assist: automatically mini-

mizes rollback on up to 10 percent gradeswhile the operator makes the transitionfrom the brake pedal to the accelerator,which benefits the driver in both uphill

and downhill stop and start situations.• Modular design: provides more

rapid service and reduced service costs.• Commonality: electronics modules and

shift controls used on other Fuller manual andautomated transmissions allow serviceproviders to reduce service parts inventoriesand speed training and certification of techni-

cians.For more information, call 800/826-HELP or

Komatsu Unveils PC78US-8 Compact Hydraulic Excavator Komatsu America Corp.’s (KAC)

PC78US-8 compact hydraulic excavatoris designed for increased production andadded operator comfort, when comparedto previous models. The new excavator iswell-suited for a variety of construction,utility, landscaping and other small- tomid-sized applications, according to themanufacturer.

The PC78US-8 is equipped withKOMTRAX technology, which sendsmachine operating information to a secureWeb site utilizing wireless technology.Data such as operating hours, machinelocation, maintenance notifications, out ofarea notifications, machine utilization,and residual fuel levels are just a few ofthe features that are relayed to the Webapplication for analysis. The KOMTRAXfleet monitoring system increasesmachine availability and reduces the riskof machine theft.

Special features of the PC78US-8include:

• Power and PerformanceThe PC78US-8 gets its power from a

Komatsu SAA4D95LE-5 engine with anet horsepower of 55 hp (41 kW). Thedirect injection engine is EPAInterim Tier

IV emissions certified.The PC78US-8 has an operating

weight of 16,240 lbs. (7,366 kg) and fea-tures a maximum digging height of 24 ft.11 in. (7.6 m), a maximum digging depthof 15 ft. 5 in. (4.7 m), an arm crowd forceof 7,760 lbs. (3,520 kg) and a bucketbreakout force of 13,780 lbs. (6,250 kg).

• Advanced HydraulicsUsing Komatsu’s HydrauMind

hydraulic system, the PC78US-8’s pres-sure compensating CLSS system ensureseach function works according to its con-trol input regardless of the load, giving theoperator precise control. Utilizing anengine speed sensing system, enginespeed is maintained regardless of loadcondition, ensuring that the engine’s fullpower potential is available.

Auxiliary hydraulics come as standardequipment, and the flow can be adjustedfrom the operator’s seat via the 7 in. colormultifunction monitor. Flow range can beadjusted from 5.3 to 33 gpm (20 to 125Lpm) depending on the attachmentrequirements.

• Customized ApplicationsFive working modes allow the operator

to tailor machine operation to the given

application, either maximizingpower during difficult workloads(power mode) or conserving fuelwhen the job doesn’t requiremaximum power (economymode).

When placing pipe or otherobjects, lifting mode reducesengine RPM, providing finecontrol. Breaker and attach-ment modes are availableto provide single or bi-directional flow depend-ing on the attachmentbeing used. (Breaker,thumb, grapple etc.)

• Service and MaintenanceA number of features facilitate ease of

maintenance, including an engine hoodthat can be opened in confined spacesproviding access to key service points,and a wide opening side hood that pro-vides access to the fuel and hydraulictanks, selector valve for auxiliaryhydraulics, washer fluid,and overflow for radiator.

Komatsu’s PC78US-8 compact hydraulicexcavator is designed for increased

production and added operatorcomfort.

HOV Projects End, Begin With Minimal Traffic Impactstretch of SR-60 was bordered by a heavyindustrial and commercial area, and anotherportion of freeway was bordered by neigh-borhoods and schools, continuous publicoutreach and coordination among subcon-tractors was necessary to mitigate trafficimpacts and allow construction to continue.

“The most challenging issue for the proj-ect was to maintain existing public traffic

with minimum impact or delays,” said MariaRaptis, public information officer ofCaltrans District 7.

Raptis added that the amount of time,effort, communication, and coordinationneeded to reconstruct nearly 12 mi. (19.3km) of freeway — with little disruption —was a task in itself.

Throughout construction the contractorsinvolved also dealt with other challenges

including tight work spaces — one reasonnight crews worked on the project since con-struction began in June 2007.

Despite tight workspaces, finding stagingareas for equipment wasn’t a problem, ascontractors maintained an onsite storagearea, Wilson said, adding contractors alsoused the contour areas of ramps to storeequipment.

Environmental issues involving stormwa-

ter pollution prevention, dust control, nestingbirds, deer, and protected plants and treesrepresented another challenge throughoutthe project.

In total, the amount of materials used tocomplete the project included: 115,000 cu.yds. (87, 924 cu m) of concrete pavementand lean concrete base; 380,000 sq. ft.(317,728 sq m) of sound wall masonryblock; 93,000 linear ft. (28,346.4 linear m)of concrete barrier; 1.3 million lbs. (589,670kg) of overhead sign structures; 91,861 lin-ear ft. (27,999 linear m) of 16 in. (40.6 cm)diameter CIDH piles; 235,000 linear ft.(71,628 linear m) of temporary K-Rail; 2.3million lbs. (1,043,262 kg) of reinforcingsteel; 227,000 cu. yds. (173,554 cu m) ofroadway and structure excavation; and162,000 cu. yds. (123,858 cu m) of structur-al concrete.

Between roadway and structure excava-tion work, 165,000 cu. yds. (126,151 cu m)of earth was moved.

Interstate 5 in the San Fernando Valleyand Los Angeles County experiences anaverage daily traffic volume that can exceed300,000. Currently, there are 492 mi. (792km) of HOV lanes in Los Angeles County,which represents 34 percent of all such lanesin the state.

Atlas Copco’s Box-Shape Jaw Offers Higher Recycling Rates

Atlas Copco’s CC 3300 hydraulicCombiCutter now features a box-shape jaw,allowing the recycling rate to be increasedfor demolition jobs and the recycling processwithin the crusher to be sim-plified.

“Our new box-shapedjaws have been designed tosignificantly streamline thedemolition process by cut-ting the material on threesides simultaneously,”Kevin Loomis, product linemanager hydraulic attach-ments of Atlas Copcoexplained. “As the jaws pen-etrate the concrete material,they also cut the rebar in thesame motion, producing abox-shaped product readyfor recycling.”

It also has a positive effect on the amountof fines and dust produced on the demolitionsite.

“Reducing the material into blocks willslash demolition times while also limitingdust and fines produced by traditional cutter-

jaw types,” Loomis added. “The result is abetter grade of material to be recycled andreduced stress on our environment.”

The box-type jaw “B” (for box shape) has

been designed for the CC 3300CombiCutter. A “U” type jaw (U for univer-sal) for demolition work in reinforced con-crete and an “S” type jaw (S for steel) forcutting steel structures also are available.
