In the Zone, in the Trenches Industry On Mission to Protect Pavement, Trench Workers

The DOL and OSHA are laser-focused on highway worker safety this construction season. The deaths of six Maryland highway workers on the job recently prompted demands that the feds realize workers, too, are vulnerable road users. Meanwhile, trenching-related deaths doubled in the past two years, and the agencies are recognizing trench workers are at risk, as well.

A worker is three times more likely to die on a construction site than in general industry, said Scott Ketcham, OSHA directorate of construction director. see SAFETY page 36

HEVI Leads U.S. Charge to Heavy Equipment Electrification

The development of a new manufacturing line of heavy equipment products has come on the scene within the last few years with the goal of leading the charge of American companies that offer fully electrified construction equipment.

Founded at the end of 2019, HEVI Corp. was developed with the mindset of offering alternative and clean technologies to the heavy machines marketplace, as opposed to traditional diesel-powered equipment, according to Raymond Wang, HEVI’s founder and

CEO.

Though electric vehicles (EVs) are slowly gaining support across the planet, HEVI and its engineers have taken note that construction, waste management, and agriculture are lacking in sustainable, emissions-free equipment options. As a result, HEVI is aiming toward complete industrial electrification by employing innovative manufacturing capabilities and technology to deliver precision and power at scale.

After setting up its headquarters in East Windsor, N.J., HEVI turned its attention to building its first U.S. assembly

plant, a 60,000-sq.-ft. facility that is now preparing to turn out its first line of electric loaders, excavators, and parts in Baltimore, Md. later this spring.

“HEVI is my baby and I wanted to take my team’s expertise and contribute toward the overall social benefits of supplying clean and alternative technologies,” Wang explained. “My mission with HEVI is to expand our business to become an OEM ourselves because I do not see another solid player coming into the market for the next five to seven years.”

Although production on the first HEVI machines was done overseas, due chiefly to the global pandemic, the company was able

to ship to the American market to get its EV equipment introduced here and into the hands of consumers as quickly as possible. That way, people could start using them and forming their own opinions about how well they work.

HEVI officials decided on creating a business that pursues a direct sales model, meaning the company will not be selling its equipment through a traditional dealership network.

Despite the planned rollout of electric battery charged equipment from Baltimore in April and May, Wang added, many of HEVI’s products are already commercially available. He noted the maker has about four dozen units that have attracted so much interest that HEVI decided to simply allot its entire inventory to demonstration and pilot models.

“Folks are signing demo agreements to get them onto their work sites,” Wang said.

Wheeled Machines Attracting Attention

HEVI’s first product line included two allelectric wheeled loaders, with weights ranging from 12,000-40,000 lbs. In addition, it has manufactured a wheeled excavator with an operating weight of 18,739 lbs.

The model GEX-8000 wheeled excavator has attracted attention from road and bridge contractors, Wang noted, along with many requests for the GEL-5000 loader.

“The reason we went with the wheeled version first is because our products are best suited for on-site applications, such as a recycling yard or a salt silo property – anywhere there is access to electrical power,” he said. “Those sites typically are already going to have packed ground or asphalt, and the

Stephenson Equipment Holds Paving Seminar Event

In late March, Stephenson Equipment had nearly 200 participants at its Butler, Pa., location in Prospect, Pa., where they were able to take part in various learning sessions and perform actual paving with the equipment Stephenson had on hand.

The event put on by Stephenson Equipment and two of its main paving equipment manufacturers — LeeBoy and

BOMAG — gives SEI’s paving customers an opportunity to bring their crews to get hands-on learning as well as other job-related tips and tricks like participants favorites paver maintenance from SEI’s own Ronnie Hoffman, and rolling techniques from BOMAG’s Tom Scalia.

A few customers in attendance were willing to go in front of the camera and tell their experience at the event and why

they have their crews in attendance.

Attendees were treated to coffee and donuts when they arrived and a good lunch midway through the day. It was a full day with paving companies broken into several groups, and after an hour or so of learning they would move on to a different aspect of the paving process.

Repairs Stay in Fast Lane for Closed CharlesAnderson Bridge

The Charles Anderson Memorial Bridge, which connects Oakland and Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, Pa., and carries the Boulevard of the Allies over Schenley Park, was blocked off to traffic for repairs and rehabilitation almost two months ago.

A March 22 report from 90.5 WESA, Pittsburgh’s NPR radio station, said that instead of a short-term closure, the span will remain out of commission for the near future.

However, Mayor Ed Gainey’s administration said the change of plans is good news, and that the city will be able to “dramatically expedite” a full rehab of the span that connects the two city neighborhoods.

“My team has been working diligently to find a path to accelerate the funding for this vital piece of our city infrastructure,” Gainey said in a release. He added that the city will be able to take “many months out of the projected timeline.”

Just how many months is still unclear. In response to questions about the projected timeline, city officials told WESA that conversations with consultants were ongoing, and it would be “premature” to discuss a timeline.

Search Is On for Safe, Speedy Repair

The city closed Charles Anderson this winter after a structural review found that it would not be safe for traffic without repairs. At the time, officials expected even comparatively modest repairs to cost between $1 million to $2 million and take at least four months of work. Because the bridge was already slated for complete rehabilitation, they said they would search for ways to

speed up the process.

This is the second time Pittsburgh and its partners have found a way to fast-track a bridge reconstruction project.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) rebuilt the Fern Hollow Bridge within just a year of its collapse in 2022. That project was ramped up after city and state emergency declarations, which allowed design and construction to continue simultaneously.

PennDOT Deputy Executive Secretary Cheryl Moon-Sirianni, who has said repeatedly that it is not possible to speed up all bridge projects, noted that work on the CharlesAnderson bridge has been going on for years.

“Only the final design of [Charles Anderson] is being expedited,” she said, “which will allow the city of Pittsburgh to begin construction in 2024 or 2025.”

Still, the new schedule may be of little comforttodriversintheshortterm:Existing detours for motorists will remain in effect until the full rehabilitation is completed (though pedestrians and cyclists may continue to use the bridge). And the temporary repairs that would have reopened the bridge to traffic later this spring are now off the table.

It is not clear just how much time savings there will be from the expedited approach, given that construction was slated to begin in 2025 before the bridge’s closure, according to the city’s project page. However, at the Pittsburgh City Council meeting on March 22, officials with the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure told councilors that construction funding for the bridge originally was not planned to be allocated

until 2027.

But plans for the bridge have been prone to rescheduling before.

Living Document

Built in 1939, the Charles Anderson Bridge has long been slated for an overhaul. The city’s 2016 capital budget distributed $750,000 for preliminary engineering work. In the years that followed, projected allocations and timelines for the project changed repeatedly, according to WESA Radio. Money for the project was earmarked in capital budgets over the next three years, with an allocation that grew to $3.3 million by 2019, but then was not spent down.

Pittsburgh convened public meetings in 2019, but the coronavirus pandemic slowed the work. Even so, in January 2022 the city was able to offer a proposed design for the bridge’s rehabilitation. The $48 million overhaul would preserve the bridge’s historicnature,allowforbetterpassageoflarge Pittsburgh Regional Transit buses and school buses, while building wider sidewalks for pedestrians and a separate cycle track for people on bikes.

And the project gained new momentum this winter, when PennDOT and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) stepped in.

Most infrastructure funding comes from the federal government, which does not just write checks directly to Pittsburgh. Instead, the money must go to a Metropolitan Planning Organization, which the feds task with planning transportation priorities for urban regions. For Pittsburgh and the surrounding 10-county region, that organization is called the SPC. For a project to move

ahead, it must be on SPC’s to-do list, which is assembled every year.

“It’s a living document,” said Andy Waple, deputy executive director for SPC’s programs division.

That to-do list, called the Transportation Implementation Plan, gets amended every month by the SPC’s Transportation Technical Committee, a group of planners and engineers who know how to get projects out the door.

At its regular meeting earlier in March, the committee moved the CharlesAnderson Bridge up the priority list and allotted $25 million in 2024 to its construction.

Waple said that happened when PennDOT alerted the committee that it could move funds from the state’s Bridge Investment Fund, powered with money from the federal infrastructure bill. He said PennDOT took that step due to advocacy from the mayor’s office.

Waple added that such allocation changes happen all the time; in fact, if money is not directed to priorities, “We won’t receive as much federal money in the future and that money can be taken away.”

PennDOT Press Secretary Alexis Campbell noted that the funds moved to support rehabilitation of the Charles Anderson bridge came from projects that had either not started or were facing delays. She said those funds would be replaced when the projects are ready to begin.

The Pittsburgh City Council is expected to support an additional $1.1 million for Michael Baker International, the city’s primary consultant for the Charles Anderson Bridge, to move the span into final design.

AlternatePlantoFixPennStationWouldWrapMSGinGlass

A year and a half after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul championed a plan to help fund the multi-billiondollar renovation of Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan by allowing the construction of up to 10 towers around the train hub, that proposal has been shelved due to economic concerns, and an alternate project has emerged as a possible front-runner to replace it.

The New York Times reported March 28 that a proposal from a subsidiary of the Italian firm ASTM Group calls for the construction of a rectangular glass station around Madison Square Garden, which sits atop the labyrinthine train hub of Penn Station. The Garden would be covered in aluminum and steel, and two new light-filled train halls would replace the notoriously cramped and dark station — all of which could be completed by 2030, the firm has said.

With the initial plan all but dead and developers now scrambling to fill the void, key legislators and civic leaders say the ASTM proposal is one they are now seriously considering.

The plan has piqued their interest for a variety of reasons: It has the advantage of not being tied to revenue from the flagging office tower market, it does not require the total demolition or relocation of Madison Square Garden, it is being pitched by prominent people in infrastructure and government, and it involves the work of New York architecture firm HOK, the co-designer of La Guardia Airport’s widely lauded Terminal B.

Governor Keeping Her Options Open

Hochul, who has shown that she is open to alternatives to the state’s partnership with Vornado Realty Trust — the Marylandbased firm expected to lead redevelopment around the station — has not publicly weighed in on the new proposal. While the Vornado plan has been abandoned in the short-term, it could be revived if economic conditions improve.

At the same time, Hochul has begun weighing fallback options and has said she will find a way to redo Penn Station with or without Vornado. A spokesperson of the governor declined to comment.

The scramble to find another plan to fund an overhaul of Penn Station became more pressing in February after Vornado pumped the brakes on the project, citing economic uncertainty.

Steven Roth, Vornado’s chief executive, said on a call with analysts that the prospect

of new construction in the city was “almost impossible” because of tight lending conditions. Revenue from the towers, part of an 18-million-sq.-ft. proposal reliant mostly on the leasing of new office space, was to help fund the up to $10 billion state share of the Penn Station renovation.

The new proposal is being spearheaded by two well-connected political operators: Patrick J. Foye, a former chief executive of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and a former executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ); and Peter Cipriano, a former senior infrastructure adviser to Elaine Chao, the U.S. transportation secretary during the Trump administration.

Foye now works as chief executive of ASTM North America, a subsidiary of the Italian infrastructure firm that specializes in public-private partnerships, and Cipriano is the group’s senior vice president.

Both men spent much of March marketing their proposal to elected officials and civic leaders in the Penn Station area. Additionally, MSG Entertainment, which runs the Garden, said it is open to the plans, according to sources familiar with the talks.

ASTM has said its cost projection will not be ready until June — when it had been planning to unveil the proposal — but has argued the project will cost significantly less than the original plan. Proponents of the new proposal add that it would not prevent Vornado, which would remain a large landowner in the Penn Station district, from developing the area in the future.

The company and its equity partners would pay for the upfront costs of construc-

tion and any cost overruns. They would then manage and run the station for 50 years, according to people familiar with the proposal.Amtrak, which owns the station, along with MTA and New Jersey Transit, its biggest users, would repayASTM over time, relying on their own capital resources as well as federal funds.

Reimagined Station to Bring More Space, Light

To build a grand, street-level entrance for the new Penn Station, ASTM would demolish the Theater at MSG, a 5,600-seat venue near the Eighth Avenue side of the complex. The Madison Square Garden arena itself would be surrounded by a roughly 90-ft.-tall glass podium designed to mirror the dimensions of the Beaux-Arts-style James A. Farley Building across the street.

Inside, the EighthAvenue hall would have 55-ft. ceilings above the new passenger concourse and a mix of retail and waiting areas, and possibly a homeless outreach center. All 21 train tracks would be accessible from the new halls, with additional staircases, elevators and escalators.

According to plans, a new mid-block train hall, which would abut an office building at 2 Penn Plaza, would be wrapped in a 100-ft.tall glass enclosure, creating a sunny arcade for pedestrians moving between West 31st and 33rd Streets.

“Our team has developed a game-changing plan to fully deliver on Governor Hochul’s new vision for a reimagined Penn Station that is iconic, spacious, accessible, and full of light and air,” while improving functionality, ASTM said in a statement.

Plan B Proposal Gaining Momentum

Richard Ravitch, a former lieutenant governor of New York, said he urged Hochul to adopt the newest proposal during a lunch meeting in February, two days after Vornado acknowledged it was halting most of its plans for the Penn district. Hochul seemed “open” to the idea, he said.

The plan has already won support from State Senator Leroy Comrie, the chair of the committee on corporations, authorities, and commissions, and a vocal critic of the prior plan. It is unclear what, if any, formal approvals this proposal would require.

“I did like the plans that I did see,” Comrie confirmed to the Times. “They were detailed, and I think they can quickly get approval so we can get the federal funding.”

State Senator Brad HoylmanSigal, whose district includes the area around Penn Station, also viewed the presentation and called it “intriguing,” in part because of the involvement of HOK.

The demolition of the Theater at MSG would free up substantial room for the train hub below, which is crowded with structural columns that disrupt the passage of commuters, said Elizabeth Goldstein, the president of the MunicipalArt Society, a nonprofit preservation group that was briefed on the plans. The group supported a similar overhaul of the train station in 2014.

But it would not solve all the station’s problems, she added, noting that the plan does not add train capacity, nor does it address congestion issues on the Seventh Avenue side of the station, where pedestrians exit the subway. Historically, most passengers have entered the station from the east, not the west, though redevelopment of Manhattan’s Far West Side may alter that.

Penn Station, the proponents’ argument goes, is an unusually Balkanized space. Its many users — Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, the Long Island Rail Road and, soon, MetroNorth Railroad — represent several camps that are often in conflict with one another.

While other proposals to rebuild Penn Station have been floated, most are contingent on the demolition of Madison Square Garden, which has an ownership group with deep political connections that will strongly resist any move.

Tom Wright, president of the Regional Plan Association, said the new proposal circumvents that problem.

“This shows that it’s possible to build a really great station that works for commuters without moving the Garden,” he said. 

Market,” according to NYSDOT. “The Phase Three contract, which keeps the overall project on schedule to be completed in the fall of 2025, is part of an unprecedented state investment to enhance infrastructure and connectivity in the South Bronx while also improving the quality of life for residents.”

The Hunts Point project is providing direct access to the Hunts Point Terminal Market from both the Bruckner Expressway and the new Sheridan Boulevard once fully completed. The market is one of the largest wholesale food distribution centers in the world. More than 78,000 vehicles travel to the Hunts Point Peninsula daily, including 13,000 trucks using local roads, which has contributedtopoorairqualityinthecommunity.

“PhaseThreewillremoveanotoriousbottleneck by reconstructing the Bruckner Expressway/Sheridan Boulevard interchange and relocating the entrance ramp to northbound Sheridan Boulevard from the left side of the highway to the right side,” NYSDOT added. “The addition of a third lane in each direction of the Bruckner Expressway and the replacement of the BryantAve Pedestrian Bridge, both of which were started in earlier phases of the project, will also be completed. Additionally, the intersection of Hunts Point Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard will be reconstructed to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety. New signing and pavement markings will also be installed to better direct auto, truck and pedestrian traffic within the Hunts Point Peninsula.”

In addition, a new 117-spot parking lot with 24 EV charging stations, including four rapid charge spots to better accommodate electric vehicles, will be constructed under the Bruckner Expressway and should enhance air quality in the South Bronx.

Initial construction began on Dec. 20, 2022, with delivery expected in fall 2025.

Phase One, which achieved substantial completion this past October, provided new and improved access to Edgewater Road in the form of three new ramps: a two-way ramp to Edgewater Road from Sheridan Boulevard and a ramp from eastbound Bruckner Expressway to Edgewater Road. Edgewater Road also was resurfaced, and new traffic signals were installed at Seneca Avenue and Garrison Avenue.

The $459.7 million contract for Phase one was awarded to SEJV, with construction beginning on Nov. 11, 2019.

Through the work, Garrison Park was transformed with a new shared-use path, landscaping, viewing platforms overlooking the river and a formal entrance area with a signalized rail crossing and traffic signal, giving residents safer and more seamless access to the Bronx River. Also, a new shared-use path was constructed under the

Bruckner Expressway to link the new Garrison Park with the existing Concrete Plant Park, with five security cameras installed along the new path to enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists while connecting to the Bronx River Greenway.

The Bronx RiverAvenue viaduct also was rehabilitated, and more than 15,000 sq. ft. of community “Bronx River Open Space” was created under the viaduct. The eastern span of the BryantAvenue pedestrian bridge over Amtrak/CSX rail lines also was replaced, as well as four bridges that carry the Bruckner Expressway and Bruckner Boulevard over Amtrak/CSX rail lines.

Phase Two, which should be completed by end of this year, is being done by El Sol/DeFoe JV via a $518 million contract that had work begin on Feb. 22, 2021. This work, which should be completed by the end of 2023, is rehabilitating 1.25 mi. of the Bruckner Expressway between 141st Street and Barretto Street, widening the roadway and providing new entrance and exit ramps that connect westbound Bruckner Expressway to Leggett Avenue. The ramps provide a direct route between the highway network and the Hunts Point Peninsula, including the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center, reducing truck traffic on local streets. A1.75-mi. section of Bruckner Boulevard between CypressAvenue and Barretto Street is being reconstructed, and 15 local intersections upgraded. Improvements include new or upgraded curbs, medians, sidewalks, crosswalks, and traffic signal improvements. A new, 1.5-mi. shared-use path will provide a connection to the 138th Street bike path heading to Randall’s Island, Manhattan, and Bronx River Greenway. Three New York City Park islands are being improved — new trees are being planted, and a new decorative steel fence is being installed along Bruckner Boulevard.

“The Hunts Point Access Improvement Project is a significant game changer in the South Bronx by removing thousands of trucks off local streets that contribute to air pollution, the creation of new traffic signals for enhanced safety, new green spaces for our residents and families to enjoy, and by making pedestrian and cyclist safety a priority,” said Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson.

The Hunts Point Terminal Market and other produce companies near the facility generate more than $2 billion in annual economic activity, with the Center, which employs more than 6,000 people, supplying up to 60 percent of the produce, meat and fish used by New York City residents and visitors.

“It attracts tens of thousands of vehicles per day,” according to NYSDOT, “and prior to the completion of Phase One of the project, used local streets — particularly Westchester Avenue and Bruckner

Boulevard — to go to and from the interstate highway. The highway redesign will enhance safety, take traffic off local roadways and significantly reduce both noise and truck idling, thereby mitigating air pollution in a borough with some of the highest asthma rates in the country.”

The entire project is expected to create 22,000 direct and indirect jobs.

Phase One was designed by JMT; Phase Two by Greenman-Pedersen Inc.; and Phase Three by the Parsons Transportation Group.

“Contract 1 required removing existing and constructing new bridges over the very active railroad corridors of Amtrak and CSX,” said Diane L. Park, public information officer, NYSDOT Region 11 (NYC).

“The Design-Build Procurement method encouraged collaboration between design and construction experts to develop a solution, which simplified and expedited this complex construction while reducing project schedule and cost and maintaining a high degree of public safety. All new bridges are designed for a minimum of 75-year lifespan. The new structural pavements on the Bruckner Expressway and Sheridan are designed for a 50-year design life.

“The contractor used ultra-high-performance concrete to join precast bridge deck panels, extensive amounts of recycled concrete for backfill of embankments to reduce environmental impacts, polyester polymer concrete overlay to extend life of existing structures, lightweight cellular concrete for backfill to mitigate settlement and weathering steel for certain bridges and ramps,” she added. “That forms a protective coating that negates the need for paint, helps safeguard the environment and reduces maintenance costs.”

Traffic in NYC is busy most times of the day. To minimize the traffic impacts of Phases Two and Three, NYSDOT is using lane closures and detours.

“Stages were combined to reduce overall traffic impact during weekdays and teams worked double shifts to finish stage construction ahead of schedule to restore traffic on new roadway with temporary alignment, while finishing up all work,” said Park. “The traffic and staging plan is working, and NYPD is providing traffic enforcement.”

To ensure that equipment and materials can be brought in efficiently and when needed, “NYSDOT provides necessary lane closure and the NYPD highway patrol and NYPD provide escort service to bring large steel girders to the site. NYSDOT also provides dedicated access and laydown areas for the contractor which is important in tight urban areas.”

ACCESS from page 1 see ACCESS page 50

El Sol/DeFoe Joint Venture is working on PhasesTwo andThree, which are adjacent to each other. The bulk of the work for Phase Two is essentially complete and Phase 3 operations began in earnest in late February.

In terms of the construction, Phase 2 was a more linear, straight-forward job, with the JVrehabilitating mainline viaduct — replacing the deck, bearings and pedestals and adding two 2,000-ft. long ramps on one side of it.

The viaduct, three lanes in each direction, is approximately 2.5 mi. long, with the JV dealing with 1.25 mi.

The complications were that the new ramps required brand new steel, and this coincided with the time of the COVID pandemic where steel fabricators were slowing down production and they didn’t have enough workers. Phase 3 is much more complicated because the JV is shifting most of the freeway to different sections and locations. The highway itself splits into the Bruckner Expressway, which heads eastwest, and then it goes into the Sheridan Expressway/Sheridan Blvd., that is northsouth. Bruckner drops to two lanes in each direction at that point. The DOT is trying to make it three lanes to eliminate this tremendous bottleneck.

The JV has to take an old viaduct and remove it and shift the traffic somewhere, which will be a traffic logistical challenge. The plan is to keep all the highway lanes open while losing some lanes on the boulevard north and east.

Thus far, the JV has not encountered any hazardous material. In terms of utilities, there are watermain, sewer, Con Edison power lines and communications, including FDNY conduits and city lighting. Approximately 22 new foundations are being installed and it is essential that the utilities are relocated, with most of the relocations being taken on by the JV. Serious operations are taking place ahead of the relocations because the utilities are not in the work zoneandcrewshaveafewmonthstodemolish a ramp and move the utilities.

Relations with NYSDOT are very good, especially as El Sol has done a lot of work for the state. For this project, NYC is involved via lane closure permits and cityowned utilities.

The concrete for the Bruckner viaduct was poured earlier in 2023 and the ramps opened last year.

Currently the JV is working on the boulevard doing sidewalks and curb and will then focus on the repaving.

Concrete was poured in the winter months. While not an ideal time, it was a warm winter. NYSDOT has a provision for winter concrete that requires contractors to keep the concrete above 45 F in order to cure. When cold streaks occur, Federal heaters are on hand to pump hot air up into

SAFETY from page 1

On the road surface, more than 45 percent of worker deaths at highway construction sites were caused by vehicles striking workers on foot.

In 2020, 857 people died in 774 crashes in work zones, marking a 10-year high for deaths and crashes in road construction areas. Of those fatalities, 117 were road construction workers and the others were motorists and passengers, according to a USAToday report.

Work zone location also plays a factor in these deaths, reported the National Work Zone Information Clearinghouse.

“Some 40 percent of all work zone crashes from 2018 to 2020 happened on an interstate in either an urban or rural setting,” the organization said.

Principal arterials, freeways and expressways made up more than 36 percent of the total, according to the clearinghouse report.

The six construction workers were killed in March when a driver attempted to change lanes on a Maryland highway. The driver hit the front bumper of another vehicle before careening into the construction zone.

“We will never accept that work zone intrusions are inevitable,” said Dave Bauer, ARTBA president. “Safety first; safety always.”

State Agencies in the Zone

The Maryland deaths immediately signaled industry demand for safer highway work zones for both construction workers and drivers.

“This tragic situation underscores the need to ensure the safety of all roadway users,” said Arkansas Rep. Rick Crawford during a transportation and infrastructure hearing on Capitol Hill.

That includes “construction workers who are simply trying to do their job and help improve America’s infrastructure,” added Crawford, chair of the highways and transit subcommittee.

But drivers suddenly happening upon slow or stopped traffic are usually the cause of work zone crashes, said a transportation researcher.

“You expect people to drive slowly in work zones,” said Julius Codjoe, a research administrator of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. “The more unexpected traffic queues you have, the more safety issues that are going to come up.”

The FHWA believes a combination of factors, including speeding, distracted driving, tailing and unexpected lane-pattern changes, contribute.

In March, ARTBA pushed FHWA to ensure road construction workers are pro-

tected as “vulnerable roadway users.” The association cited a 2018 industry study that found 39 percent of pedestrians killed at roadway construction sites were workers.

At-risk workers “are exposed to hazards from motorists, including speeders and distracted drivers,” said ARTBA.

A review of Bureau of Labor Statistics data indicates as many as 200 roadway workers are killed on job sites annually. The association urges FHWA and states “to ensure policies and programs are in place to protect vulnerable road users, including workers.”

ARTBAalso wants FHWAto update regulations governing positive separation techniques used to protect workers from traffic.

At the state level, there are tools transportation agencies can utilize to calculate roadway capacity and determine traffic queues, said Codjoe. The Highway Capacity Manual is one tool that can help warn unsuspecting drivers and avoid work zone crashes, he said.

The most recent edition of the manual was released in early 2022, Codjoe wrote in a Transportation Research Board (TRB) blog post.

“What we’ve learned,” said the researcher, “is that ultimately heavy vehicle percentages make the biggest difference in capacity,”

The TRB believes one way to improve work zone safety is to use transportation management plans. Among the resources TRB suggests is the Use of Safety Management Systems in Managing Highway Maintenance Worker Safety. It is a compilation of the work zone safety strategies used by Connecticut, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety also researched specific countermeasures designed to reduce highway work zone crashes. Focusing on vehicle-mounted electronic variable message signs or VMSs, the foundation noted they were “highly effective” in reducing highway work zone crashes.

AUniversity of Missouri study found that a self-driving truck, trailing a vehicle and crew, can reduce worker injuries in construction zones. According to TRB, the Missouri research found merit in the use of truckmounted attenuators (TMAs), or “crash cushions.”

The devices were effective when they were positioned at the end of mobile work zones to absorb the impact of a potential crash.

“The study found, though, if the vehicle equipped with the TMA is a self-driving truck, more injuries could be avoided.”

The Colorado DOT plans to make work zones safer by expanding its use of self-dri-

ving trucks to protect workers.

“For the men and women in our work zones, Colorado’s roads are their office,” said Shoshana Lew, Colorado DOT executive director. “Innovations such as automated attenuators can be life-saving.”

Minnesota DOT is installing “speed wizards,” dynamic speed-limit signs requested by workers, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The electronic signs show speed limit for the work zone at the top and a vehicle’s speed at the bottom, flashing when drivers are speeding.

instructed to inspect any work site where trenching is taking place. According to the National Law Review, any trenching accident and fatality will be scrutinized for potential employer criminal liability.

“If trenching protection is on site and not in use, this will be a significant factor in OSHA’s compliance review.”

Noting that 39 workers were killed in trench or excavation work in 2022, the industry launched a Midwest regional outreach campaign. OSHA will work directly with the entire industry to reduce injuries and fatalities in one of the nation’s most hazardous lines of work.

“A trench collapse can bury workers under thousands of pounds of soil and rocks in seconds,” said Bill Donovan, OSHA regional administrator. “With proper training and use of required safety procedures, incidents like these can be prevented.”

He said OSHA and industry employers are working to raise awareness of hazards and protective measures. They’re also joining forces to “educate employers on how they must protect workers.”

Agencies and associations across the Midwest are collaborating on the onsite consultation projects across OSHA Region 5.

In 2022, 311 trenching and excavation inspections were conducted at sites in Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin, according to the agency.

“Six of the inspections followed incidents in which workers suffered fatalities,” OSHA noted.

“We are trying to combat speeds,” said Michelle Moser, MnDOT work zone engineer. “It’s one of our top priorities. When something is flashing at you, that does tend to slow down the majority of drivers.”

From 2019 to 2021, there were 7,823 work zone crashes in the state, according to the Star Tribune. That resulted in 92 serious injuries and 28 deaths in Minnesota and prompted Moser to issue a plea to drivers.

“Work with us,” Moser said. “Everybody has a role to play in work zone safety. Slow down and pay attention.”

OSHA Gets Deep in the Trenches

DOL and OSHAalso are paying attention to construction sites where trenching and excavation take place.

In early April, two construction workers died when a trench collapsed at JFK Airport in New York City. The crew was relocating utility lines near a cogeneration plant for a JFK redevelopment project. Though emergency workers attempted to rescue them from the rubble, the construction crew members suffered fatalities.

Because of alarming trench fatality numbers, OSHA compliance officers are now

The deaths happened from falls into a trench, being pinned between equipment, a cave-in or an asphyxiation by hazardous gases.

Industry employers and workers should remember the following essential trench safety standards:

• Protective systems must be in place for trenches 5-ft. deep or deeper. These systems include benching, sloping, shoring and shielding.

• A registered professional engineer must approve trenches of 20 ft. deep or deeper.

•Acompetent person must inspect trenches daily — and as conditions change — before anyone enters a trench.

“The competent person must be able to identify existing and predictable hazards, soil types and protective systems.”

They also must have authority to take prompt corrective action to eliminate those hazards:

• Excavated soils must be kept at least 2 ft. from trench edges.

• Underground utilities must be located and marked before digging begins.

• Ladders must be positioned every 25 ft. of lateral travel for safe entrance and exit from the trench. 

Innovative Biz Brings Alternative, Clean Tech to Industry

wheel is a good application for them.

“Alot of the interest we receive is from contractors working in urban construction areas, like Philadelphia and New York, because they do not want to place steel plates down to keep treads from destroying asphalt and pavement,” he continued. “Even though wheeled excavators are an advantage, we still get a lot of requests for the rubber-tracked versions.”

The excavator and loaders that HEVI has produced are busily working at many different areas in the mid-Atlantic region, Wang said, through what he calls a “very aggressive demo and pilot phase” where the manufacturer has deployed its equipment to various companies ranging in size from small firms to huge corporations sporting construction equipment fleets of 1,000-plus machines.

HEVIs Powered By Top Maker of Lithium Batteries

Each of HEVI’s initial models is powered by lithium-ion batteries made by CATL, the world’s leader in lithium battery production.

“Our equipment can get nine hours of use out of a single charge, and to do that, even for our smallest front-end loader, it utilizes a battery that weighs over a ton and has a capacity of up to 141-kilowatt-hours at 660 volts,” explained Wang. “It is massive, but that is what you would need to get a full day’s shift from them.”

HEVI’s founder added that the battery lifecycles on his company’s products last 10-12 years – with a five-year warranty -- because their non-stationary direct current (DC) chargers do so slowly and progressively.

That is unlike the DC Fast Charging (DCFC) chargers used by other EV equipment makers that charge at an ultra-fast rate.

But, he said, “If that is done repeatedly, it will bring down the life of the battery.”

So, rather than relying on a DCFC-powered charger, the company spent a year developing and launching its own non-stationary chargers. Now, the DCH-220-10 charger comes standard on all HEVI equipment.

“If a site has 220-volt threephased power, or 480-volt threephased power, a business that owns HEVI equipment can just plug in its new portable charger to a standard socket and connect our machine just as you would with a laptop,” he said. “Our 480-volt DC charger will take about four to six hours to charge our machines from dead, so that you could use it for a full shift, let it charge overnight, and have it ready to go

again the next day.”

In addition, HEVI’s machines are compatible with charging stations made by popular makers like Siemens and Blink Charging.

HEVI Plans to Quickly Respond to Customer Needs

To help support the new electric heavy equipment manufacturer’s goals, Wang emphasized that HEVI’s entire infrastructure needed to be close to the markets where it sells its products. “

"We specifically chose Baltimore for our first manufacturing site that will also serve as a distribution hub for our products,” he added. “We are right next to the port, and we have access to major roads, railways, and air transport within minutes.

“There is a large and skilled labor force there as well, which will allow us to expand the site very quickly,” Wang said. “In addition, after the Maryland plant is fully operational, we anticipate opening another facility in the state, along with more in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Each of them will become assembly facilities and distribution hubs for our parts as well.”

Beyond that, he noted HEVI has plans to continue its expansion efforts into the South Atlantic states.

“Right now, though, we are entirely focused on the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. for our sales because if any of our clients have an issue with their equipment, we want to make sure that we can get them a spare part that same day – or no later than one day,” he explained. “We do not want to hold up their business just because of a part.”

Additionally, HEVI is building an authorized service provider network through facilities like truck repair centers in the region that have the equipment to support heavy products.

If a client needs a repair at a job site, Wang said, HEVI can send a service technician out to fix the problem.

“A few shops have signed up already, and in the MidAtlantic region, I have spoken to people at many truck repair centers that want to sign up right away,” he added.

Change Can Lead to Economic Savings

Among the challenges he and his colleagues face are educating contractors, equipment operators, and farmers – many of whom are slow to accept change – on the advantages of EV technology over traditional diesel equipment.

“We understand that we are at the forefront in converting people to a new technology. They have used diesel their entire careers, and their fathers and grandfathers also went with diesel. We want to make it easy for them to adopt electrified equipment,” Wang explained.

“First off, we pegged our prices for the equipment to comparable diesel machines,” he continued.

“For example, with our smaller GEL-1800, a 12,000-lb. front loader, the comparable diesel version would cost about $140,000, while our model costs about $135,000, which includes the battery, base charger, and a 1.25-cu.yd. bucket, so there is no sticker shock with it. When you factor in the power and fuel costs, and the fact that our machine, at corporate or industrial electricity rates, will only use about $2-$4 of electricity per hour, you are getting substantial savings.”

Virginia Seeks Builders to Take On $2.3B LongBridgeRailProjectAcrossPotomac

Virginia’s plan to double capacity for trains over the Potomac River is moving ahead despite inflation that has driven up the project’s cost and contributed to a $389 million budget shortfall, state transportation officials told the Washington Post recently.

Construction of a new Long Bridge is projected to cost nearly $2.3 billion, up almost $240 million from a year ago, according to new budget projections by the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA). The funding gap couldputtheprojectatriskfordelays, althoughofficialssaythebridgeisstill on track for a 2030 opening.

The Post reported April 7 that the existing 117-year-old, double-track span over the Potomac — the main route for trains traveling south from Washington — is at 98 percent capacityduringpeaktraffictimes.Planscall for a new two-track span parallel to the current Long Bridge that would separate passenger and freight trains, boost commerce and meet demands for passenger trains along the Interstate 95 corridor.

The project, within a 1.8-mi. corridor, is central to Virginia’s ambitious $7.2 billion rail program, which would add service on Amtrak and the Virginia Railway Express (VRE), as well as expand passenger train operations across the state this decade.

“This is really our gem, of all of the projects in transforming rail in Virginia,” said DJ Stadtler, executive director of the VPRA. “Long Bridge makes it all happen.”

Virginia estimates the expansion will allow for 18,000 more freight and passenger train crossings annually, the equivalent of up to one million commercial trucks and five million cars diverted from highways.

“We know that if we get the trains there, people are going to ride them,” he added.

Second Bridge Will Create Four-Track Crossing of Potomac

Theexpansionovertheriverwouldeliminateamajorbottleneck in the rail system as freight and passenger trains funnel from three tracks on each end of the bridge to two, slowing rail travel throughout the corridor.

The addition of a second rail bridge, as well as construction of new track south of L’Enfant Plaza in the city of Washington, will create a four-track crossing for train traffic heading from and into Virginia.

The project also will add a pedestrian and bike bridge between Long Bridge Park in Arlington, Va., and East Potomac Park in the District of Columbia.

This spring, the VPRAis beginning a months-long selection process to determine construction teams for the project, which it has split into two segments: On the northern side, work includes construction of several bridges from the Potomac shore to L’Enfant Plaza, while work on the south-

ern side will focus on the parallel bridge over the water.

Stadtler told the Post that Virginia plans to select the rail project’sbuildersbythisfall.Withapprovalsalreadyinplace from federal and local agencies on the preliminary plans, chosen contracting firms would be able to move into a fiveyear construction period in early 2025, he said.

The new bridge will be constructed 40 ft. north of the existing crossing. The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), which has review authority over the effort, said last year that the design will complement the existing Long Bridge “without overwhelming its historic character.”

The rail authority is seeking federal grants to help close a $712 million funding gap for its overall $7.2 billion rail program, said Stadtler, of which $389 million is for the new Long Bridge. He attributed the project’s cost overruns to inflation,notingthattheplanwasfullyfundedwhenthestate

Construction Coming Soon to New Rutgers Medical School, Hub in N.J.

Plans have been under way for several years for the New Jersey Innovation + Technology Hub (HELIX), part of which will include a new Rutgers University Robert Wood Johnson Medical School building in New Brunswick, N.J.

The school announced March 21 that construction will finally start later this spring on the first of three buildings that will be part of the Hub, one of which will be the new home of the medical school.

The trio of buildings that make up the Hub is being strongly pushed by Gov. Phil Murphy. It will be built across the street from the New Brunswick train station in what is currently an empty lot.

The HELIX, which will be developed by the New Brunswick Development Corp., is designed as an innovation center providing businesses, universities and researchers critical space to work, learn, experiment and collaborate.

When completed by 2026, the HELIX will be made up of medical facilities for Rutgers, Princeton University, Hackensack Meridian Health and RWJBarnabas Health in downtown New Brunswick, according to Patch, the local online news service.

The project also will include public health labs.

Rutgers said that its 12-story Robert Wood Johnson Medical School will be the first to be built at the HELIX and will feature modern laboratories, offices and work and learning spaces “to foster research, treatment and business breakthroughs.”

“Rutgers Health at the HELIX will transform and affirm to the world the core value of Rutgers’research and medical education enterprise,” President Jonathan Holloway said March 21. “Imagine, we will be educating new generations of medical students alongside cutting-edge laboratories and researchers — in the same space where we collaborate with our colleagues at Princeton and the two largest hospital systems in the state. It will be an epicenter of health innovation.”

Planning for the public-private complex began when Murphy first proposed “The Hub” in 2017.

The construction of the RWJ Medical School comes after its approval by the Rutgers University Board of Trustees in mid-March and consent by the school’s Board of Governors to a tentative funding plan, which includes one-time state funds and tax credits.

The estimated cost of the first HELIX building is $732 million, with the Rutgers portion estimated to be $567 million. The latter will be paid primarily through $200 million of federalAmerican Rescue Plan funds provided by the state and approximately $190 million in tax credits administered through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority Aspire program.

Rutgers will finance the remaining $180 million of the cost through tax-exempt and taxable bonds.

Building Effort Likely to Support More Than 7,000 Jobs

Since 2020, the pandemic reinforced the need for continued groundbreaking health and medical research while a

HEVIFounderTouts Major Fuel Savings On Its Equipment

In comparison to the 4-6 gallons per hour of diesel fuel used by similar loaders, Wang estimates that the GEL-1800 will save about $25,000 per year just on fuel costs alone, as well as its 40 percent maintenance savings.

By illustrating how EV technology can improve their bottom line without hindering their productivity, HEVI has been able to make inroads with many heavy equipment operating firms.

At a recent New Jersey agricultural trade show, where Wang said he was expecting to engage with equipment owners averse to change, the HEVI contingent instead turned the heads of many attendees toward their products by revealing the operational and environmental benefits of HEVI machines.

Rutgers Biomedical and Health Science primary plan set a new standard for excellence in health sciences education, research and patient care, explained Antonio Calcado, its executive vice president and chief operating officer.

“We have arrived at a place that not only will bring the New Jersey innovation hub to fruition, but we will also significantly improve Rutgers’standing in the delivery of medical education while transforming what translational research looks like,” he said.

Calcado noted that translational research — often referred to as bench-to-bedside research — turns laboratory discoveriesintonewwaystoimprovehealthcareandmedicaltreatment.

The complex will be home to a new translational research facility equipped with a variety of labs to advance the work of 80 research teams and put into practice health innovations that will improve individual and public health, the university announced.

Rutgers Health at the HELIX also will have a significant operational and economic impact within the city of New Brunswick, as well as free existing Rutgers space for academic, clinical and research expansion, and bolster the university’s role as a research and economic innovation leader in the region, Calcado said.

The three-year construction project will support more than 7,000 jobs and generate about $83 million in local, county and state tax revenues. Once completed, the HELIX is projected to produce approximately $880 million in economic activity annually in the state, including supporting about 4,500 jobs, according to an economic impact report on the project.

“With the boards’approval, we will begin to bring together higher education institutions, health systems and the life sciences industry to revolutionize clinical and translational research — turning our groundbreaking research into care and cures,” said Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Chancellor Brian Strom. “Moving the RobertWood Johnson Medical School into one state-of-the-art campus will improve medical students’experience through holistic medical education and opportunities for clinical experiences in all four years of medical school.”

“At that point, many of them were open to the true benefits that we were trying to achieve, which includes zero carbon emissions, and they wanted to apply them to their businesses,” he explained. “We were anticipating a very resistant audience concerning the technology, but that has not come to fruition. We are proud to see that our strategy has worked.”

Telematics Control Evolving at HEVI

Each one of HEVI’s planned product lines will be equipped with an LED monitor and utilize smart diagnostics software that gives a complete breakdown of all the equipment’s measurables, from the battery life to the machine’s state of health.

“In many EV products, from a maintenance standpoint, typically you must hook up a laptop to get the error codes, but our system displays the codes on the machine’s monitor,” Wang said. “If say, a code 302, indicating a hydraulic problem, flashes on the screen, the client can relay it to one of our service providers. The technician will know what the problem is and what tools and parts to bring on site, making the process much more efficient.”

In addition, HEVI has partnered with Cyngn, a Californiabased company, to deploy its GPS asset-tracking system into every one of HEVI’s equipment by default, meaning it comes standard at no extra cost and is loaded with three years of telematics.

“Our front-end loaders and wheeled excavator feature the basic operator-assist functions like standardized loader cruise control and auto balance,” he continued. “When we do our demos and pilots, though, veteran diesel operators get into our machines, and are comfortable running them right away.”

According to Wang, “the key to the adoption of electric heavy equipment is it must make sense on paper first. Then companies can consider the added benefit of our machines saving more than 100 tons of CO2 per year, their noise reduction, and all the other diverse benefits that come from running electric machines.”

The JV removed the concrete, jacked the superstructure steel beams up from the bearings and concrete pedestals, put in new pedestals, which are more modern, put the steel back on the bearings, formed up to the new concrete deck, put in the rebar and then placed the concrete. Through repetition, crews honed their methodology.

A fair amount of falsework was installed such as stay-in-place form to span from flange-to-flange of the stringers, and wood formswithoverhangbracketsontheedgeof the viaduct and as side forms.

The JV had to build two new exit ramps (100 ft. wide) before it could demolish the old ones. This construction required lane closures.

For the 1.75 mi. Bruckner Boulevard, work is progressing. This work began with excavations for the new foundations for the new ramps and once they came out, the ramps were installed, followed by all the non-grade boulevard improvements.

Crews are removing and replacing 3 or 4 in. of asphalt. They did not dig up the whole road. The operations on the south side were easier. The north side was tougher due to active businesses and residences. The JV worked in concert with the businesses. By dividing this side into smaller sections, the work could be carried out quickly. The JV understood that taking away a mile of the streetwouldcauseseriousparkingproblems.

Work on the viaduct and boulevard was done simultaneously. When crews were installingthefoundationsforthenewramps, theyhadtotakeawideportionofthebottom to bring their equipment in.

The JV’s engineering team and the public outreach team interacted with the public to keep everyone informed for the boulevard work. The plan of attack was based on upgrading each intersection ahead of the paving work, putting in new traffic signals and lighting, and then placing the new curb and sidewalk. This work is being done over two seasons, covering March to late November.

Adding a third lane in each direction for the Bruckner Expressway won’t be easy as the JV will be relocating the Sheridan Expressway ramps to the outbound sides of the corridor and locating the six lanes in the middle of them. In its present configuration, there is no room to add lanes.

The reconstruction of the intersection of Hunts Point Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard will start at a later date.

Phase 3 work also will be more complicated due to consideration for neighboring projects. The JV is cognizant of other ongoing and planned projects, particularly at HuntsPointAvenuewherethereisasubway, which will experience renovations around the entrances. The interchange work will happen in the middle of that project.

Aggregate Production and Recycling Section

Ceasars Equipment Finds ‘Sweet Spot’With 10-Ft. Screener

Eric Johnson, president and founder of Ceasars Equipment, grew up around the aggregate business and has always had a passion for aggregate machines.

“My family was involved in gravel beds and my dad was always involved in the construction business, so I was always around machinery and equipment,” he said. “I had seen box screeners operated and I had this idea in my head that I could build an affordable, durable, transportable screening plant.

“I started with a blank piece of paper and engineered it over and over again and tested it over and over again until I had it exactly perfect and then we started producing and selling it. It has really caught on and is now being sold all over the country.”

Johnson’s first model was the 10S, which stands for 10-ft. screener.

“We felt from the beginning that the 10-foot size was the sweet spot for the screening market that we were going after,” he said. “A small- to mid-sized contractor, excavator, landscaper who is looking to make material in lower volumes but needs a durable machine that’s highly transportable is not in a position to spend $60,000 to $100,000 for a screening plant.”

The Ceasar model 10S is priced at under $13,000, making it affordable for any size contractor.

Production levels for any screening plant are going to vary dramatically depending on the type and condition of the material being processed. But, according to Johnson, on average his Ceasar model 10S should be able to process 20 to 35 yds. of material per hour. The screener with a vibrating head can be fed by any loader with up to a 9-1/2-ft.-wide bucket.

This type of screener does not require a lot of horsepower to operate it, Johnson said, but you do want a good, reliable engine. So, to power the 10S screener, Johnson selected the Honda GX series engines.

Since introducing its 10-ft. screeners, Ceasars Equipment has expanded its offerings. It offers a Grizzly unit that essentially is a steel non-mechanical grid designed at a 45-degree angle, which is available in 7-, 10- and 12-ft. sizes. The contractor unloads mixed material across the Grizzly and dirt is separated from oversized material; it is essentially used like a scalping machine.

These units start at under $6,000.

For the small volume contractor or landscaper working in

very confined space areas, the Model 7S (a 7-ft. towable vibrating box screener) is now available for under $8,000. This size machine would boast production levels in the 15 to 20 ton per hour range and would be fed by a backhoe to skid steer loader size machine.

When asked what sets his machines apart from other screeners in the same size category Johnson said, “All of the Ceasars screeners are manufactured with ¼-inch structural tube steel. Where we really shine is with the 10S model.

“Other machines in this category don’t have a true 10-foot-wide space loading clean out area and if they do their screening deck is simply hanging on a set of chains, which does not produce a very aggressive screening process,” he added. “Our screening deck actually sits on a set of springs just like the big dollar machines do and it shakes up and down, not just side to side like a

deck hanging from chains is limited with.

“This screening process also allows you to screen damper material, which you would not be able to do with other machines in the same size category. This allows you to screen a few weeks earlier in the season and a few weeks later in the season, which adds up to your overall profitability. It also helps you screen larger materials, so with the 10S you can screen asphalt millings, recycled concrete or larger pieces of stone simply because larger material is not going to screen from a simple side to side shake movement. It needs the up and down movement that the springs on our screener generates.

“Typically, you have to spend over $30,000 to $40,000 to get a screening plant that generates that type of screening action. So, our screening plant and its screening methods in its price range is truly one of a kind.”

Another unique feature of the Ceasars screeners is that the angle of screening can be manipulated.Ajack is mounted to each leg of the screening plant, which allows contractors to manipulate the angle of the screening bed, thus the speed of the screening. This unique feature is only available because of the screening bed being mounted to springs. If the screening bed was mounted on chains the concept of changing the angle on the screener would not work. Different materials can be screened at higher speeds by the nature of the screen ability of the product. In addition, the screens on the Ceasars screeners are made of woven wire and can be changed in as little as 15 minutes.

Each machine is delivered fully assembled, is American made and comes with a two-year warranty.

Ceasars Equipment currently has equipment available for delivery, ships nationwide and offers financing.

Terex Materials Processing Presents

Diverse Portfolio at ConExpo 2023

Terex Materials Processing (MP), global manufacturer of materials processing and lifting machinery, presented its diverse portfolio representing the aggregates, environmental, concrete, material handling and lifting industries at ConExpoCon/AGG 2023. In total, there were 12 participating Terex MP brands, including new businesses to the portfolio, MDS and ProAll.

“Terex MPhas transformed in recent years to solidify our position and respond to robust demand trends in each of our end markets,” said Kieran Hegarty, president, Terex Materials Processing.

“Visitors to our booth are seeing our broadened portfolio of equipment and investment in new technologies and innovative solutions that will help our customers operate their equipment safely, while achieving profitability, sustainability and superior returns.”

Growth Since ConExpo 2020, Broadened Portfolio

Terex MP has been on a growth journey since its last appearance at ConExpo in 2020. In 2021, the segment purchased a new facility in China to manufacture Powerscreen equipment for the domestic China market. This was followed by the acquisition of MDS, manufacturer of heavy duty and recycling trommels, apron feeders and conveyor systems, to expand its offering in the crushing and screening and environmental industries, with products that complement the existing portfolio.

In 2022, Terex MP purchased Steelweld Fabrications, a manufacturer of heavy fabrications, as part of a long-term fabrications strategy to meet global demand for its crushing and screening products. Later last year, Canadian company ProAll, a specialist producer of mobile volumetric concrete mixers, also joined the Terex MP portfolio, in a move to expand its overall presence in the concrete mixer space.

The latest acquisition was the assets of ZenRobotics Ltd., a company that manufactures robots that pick, sort and recycle waste material. This is part of a larger strategy in Terex MP to strengthen its offering in the environmental industries and make the circular economy a reality by turning global waste into clean raw materials.

Each of the acquisitions now operate as a stand-alone business alongside other brands within the Terex MP segment, while also benefiting from Terex MP’s broader market presence, as well as efficiencies enabled by its global scale and investments in areas such as sustainability, digital solutions, and factories of the future.

Supporting Circular Economy With Sustainable Equipment

Terex MP is making strides towards sustainability and making a positive impact to the environment through product innovation and environmental stewardship. Sixty percent of Terex MP’s product offering now have electric options,

which not only supports its aggressive Environmental Social Governance (ESG) program on a global basis, but helps customers achieve their own ESG objectives.

Besides electrification, Terex MP is focussed in operating its businesses in an environmentally friendly way and in growing its environmental processing equipment offering — one the segment’s fastest-growing areas, in support of the circular economy.

“The demands of our customers are constantly evolving and meeting their needs with a sustainable approach has been a core value of Terex. Our latest product innovations support the circular economy, reduce GHG emissions and offer alternative energy sources with electric and hybrid options. This supports our customers in reducing carbon footprint globally. In Operations, we have committed to 15 percent reduction in GHG emissions and 15 percent reduction in global energy intensity by 2024,” sai Hegarty.

DPWAchievesTotalOnsiteRecyclingWithTwoAttachments

The Harding Department of Public Works, in Harding Township, N.J., has streamlined its tree recycling operation with the help of a new Exac-One GRP200-7 hydraulic grapple and Black Splitter S2 800 cone splitter from Ransome Attachments.

Harding Township, New Jersey, is a wellkept, leafy suburban enclave located roughly 47 mi. west of Manhattan. The department does a little bit of everything, including paving, forestry, pothole repair, lawn mowing and even masonry. With a staff of eight employees, maintaining its extensive tree population is no small job. This has been exacerbated in recent years because of damage inflicted by unusually strong storms and a pest called the Emerald Ash Borer.

In January 2023, Operator Justin Buller and Superintendent Tracy Toribio were discussing how the department could save money and efficiently run the roadside tree program with existing staff. The department wanted to recycle 100 percent of the material on its roadside job sites and knew the types of equipment it would require. This would eliminate the need to haul logs, stumps and brush to its yard or the private recycler.

Buller is an equipment operator for the department. He knew of Ransome Attachments through a friend at a local land clearing contractor that purchased a Black Splitter and some other attachments. After hearing rave reviews from colleagues, he approached Eric Ransome at a trade show in New Jersey and expressed interest.

The department ended up acquiring not only the Black Splitter, but also the Exac-One grapple in January 2023.

It also ended up purchasing a Kubota mini excavator and an 18-in. Bandit wood chipper. The Black Splitter and ExacOne grapple would function as the conduit between the two machines.

The acquisition of these new attachments was part of the department’s updating of its equipment and truck fleet, which has been unfolding over the last five years. Most of its equipment dated back to the 1990s.

The department also recognized that a worsening labor shortage was threatening its productivity. Multi-functional attachments like the Exac-One grapple and Black Splitter were an obvious choice.

The department’s excavator operator can now switch between the grapple and cone splitter seamlessly with a quick coupler at the worksite. The splitter breaks down the logs and the grapple loads the sections into the chipper,

which reduces its material recycling costs.

The 360-degree rotation of the grapple has also proven effective with sorting material because it has the ability to scoop up logs and set them with the cut ends facing in the same direction. This task was time consuming with a bucket and thumb combination.

The Black Splitter has been helpful with stump processing as well. Not only does it break down the stump, but also cleans out most of the dirt and rocks. This saves the department money because the recycling company charges the lower cost mixed brush rate.

Buller recalled the department’s old way of handling tree cleanup after a big storm.

“We would spend months picking up the debris every time a storm rolled through,” he said. “It was a lot of backbreaking physical work.”

He knew from previous experience what was needed to mechanize and improve the process.

Productivity has soared with the new equipment setup. Buller estimated that the department is processing twice as much material in half the time.

“The amount of work we did in the last two days was performed in half the time using minimal labor,” he said. “This is awesome.”

The department has been using the grapple to handle full size trees up to 50 ft. long and 12 in. in diameter. It also easily handles downsized sections ranging from 8 to 12 ft. and heaping bundles of brush. Feeding these materials into the chipper on site has been a game changer.

Using the grapple has been simple, according to Buller. “Once you get used to it, it’s like having your hand on the end of that machine and you can pick up material, put it in a chipper, and place it where you want it,” he said.

Loading material with the grapple instead of by hand also has improved safety.

Roadside crews have traditionally faced risks including cuts and bruises, falls, and back injuries. Buller can now load material into the chipper using the grapple from the comfort and safety of the excavator cab. A single worker is required near the chipper to monitor chipping and toss in small brush.

The department has not required support for either unit, but based on his experience to date, Buller is confident that the team at Ransome will stand by its attachments.

“Eric takes the time to explain the attachments, deliver a quality product, and make the overall experience pleasurable,” he said. “He’s a really nice, down to earth, genuine guy.”

XL Specialized Trailers Launches Guardian HDG Trailer

XL Specialized Trailers, a manufacturer of heavy haul and specialized trailers, introduced the XL Guardian 110 HDG trailer, a standardized construction trailer that is readily available at dealer locations.

Each aspect of this low-profile, hydraulic detachable gooseneck lowboy was designed with the user in mind, and it’s made to simplify the process of hauling construction equipment.

“While we specialize in the customization of our trailers, the Guardian is an exciting new trailer for us, as it is a stock trailer that is ready to hit the road,” said Tom Hiatt, director of sales at XL. “It’s acompetitivemarket,butourspecifications, warranty and value on the Guardian are at the top. It will be a great fit in any lineup.”

Built to last, users can be confident in the Guardian’s longevity as they haul load after load. The Guardian trailer is 53 ft. long and has a capacity rating of 110,000 lbs. in 12 ft. concentrated.

The low-profile gooseneck design provides weight savings

and versatility, allowing scrapers to load over the top. It features a relief cutout, giving truck fenders plenty of clearance, and two removable kingpin settings which add flexibility across various truck setups. On the neck, a rotating work light illuminates the area for added safety and visibility when loading.

The gooseneck uses hydraulics to detach for loading and unloading efficiently — and easily reconnects after. The main bed offers a 22-in. loaded deck height.

Operators can adjust the height of the deck for diverse loads with a 5position variable ride height in the neck and manual ride height in the rear.

The trailer’s 26-ft.-long, 8-ft.-6in.-wide main deck is constructed with a fully welded I-beam design, using 100K flanges and 80K webs, as well as upper-flange reinforcement. The rugged, raised apitong deckingisbuilttolast,whileatoolbox located in the front provides a place to store chains and other

materials.

Heavy-duty swing-out outriggers add 12 in. of deck width on each side for flexibility in the size of loads. The outriggers swing to the middle of the deck, making a strong double-outrigger point in the center of the deck, where it is needed most. A heavy-duty front pull-out outrigger eliminates the need to stow and carry loose outriggers.

In the rear of the main deck, the recessed cross-members make a

bucket well. Combined with the open boom trough design in the wheel area, this design provides a solution for transporting excavators low and safe. With D-rings placed throughout the rear of the deck, securement is easier and more efficient than ever.

This trailer offers great versatility with its range of axle options. TheGuardianisa3-axletrailerthat can be run by itself or with an added flip axle, a spreader bar and flip, a single-axle power booster or a hydraulic flip axle. XL’s new bolt-on recessed hydraulic flip axle option houses the hydraulic cylinder, quickly flipping the axle without the need for a forklift. This allows for better loading clearance over the flip axle and easy swapping between flip axles and boosters.

The Guardian is backed with XL’s full 5-year structural, 3-year paint and 1-year parts warranty. These units are now available at dealer locations across the United States.

Zeal Motor Inc. the manufacturer of the famous Fat Truck announced the official production launch of its new Fat Truck 8X8.

The 8X8 was designed to answer the specific need to transport heavier payload or additional crew in the harshest terrains.

The 8X8 will be used by the utility industry to facilitate working in hard-toreach job sites. The 8X8 will be available in two variations: hauler and wagon. The Fat Truck 8X8 answers the market demand of having an amphibious vehicle that can carry a high payload of 5,000 lb. or a crew of 16 workers.

“Avehicle capable of traveling at 25 mph on land, 3mph on water, climbing steep muddy hills [75 percent grade] while meetingallthesafetyrequirementsisanoutstanding advantage that only the Fat Truck can

provide,” said Amine Khimjee, vice-president of sales and marketing at Zeal Motor.

“The footprint of the 8X8 is 1.9 psi at its maximum payload, which is 5 times less than a human. The innovative articulation allows the vehicle to climb vertical walls of 4 feet effortlessly.The FatTruck 8X8 is truly pushing the limits in off-road vehicle capabilities.”

The Fat Truck 8X8’s first public appearance was at ConExpo in Las Vegas.

Zeal Motor is a corporation based in Bromont, Quebec, Canada, that manufactures industrial utility vehicles that provide solutions to infrastructure such as powerlines, pipelines, mining exploration and first responder vehicles.

Concrete Pump Hits U.S. Marketplace

Sourcewell Awards

Felling Trailers Inc. With Purchasing Contract Renewal

Following extensive testing, sales of Liebherr’s completely newly developed 36 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump are now starting in the United States.

The result? A versatile machine, packed with technical innovations from Liebherr.

A large number of the pump operators’ wishes were considered, such as ergonomic access steps, simplified accessibility and an expansion of the stowage and storage options.

An extremely compact assembly with no boom overhang at the rear ensures high maneuverabilty in confined spaces. The machine is weight-optimized and therefore travels with a total weight of approximately 28.7 tons on three axles, depending on the equipment.

The XXT support ensures perfect stability, according to the manufacturer. It shows its strengths particularly when it comes to narrow supports, so confined spaces are no problem. The modern radio remote control allows sensitive boom movements. The clear color display shows the operator all important parameters.

The new fivepart boom allows maximum flexibility on the construction site. Especially when concreting in buildings, the boom proves to have very good slip properties. The five arms make it easy to reach a wide variety of positions on the construction site. The design and kinematics of the boom ensure low-vibration and even work when placing concrete.

The shape of the charging hopper favors a uniform flow of concrete and very good suction behavior. Two separately driven agitators push the concrete directly into the suction area, which works perfectly even with concrete types that are difficult to pump, the manufacturer said.

Unique Powerbloc Drive Unit

A major highlight of the new 36 XXT is Liebherr’s newly developed “Powerbloc” pump drive unit. It is characterized by the fact that all hydraulic switching and measuring elements are fully integrated. This eliminates the need for numerous hydraulic hoses and other components previously required. The drive unit is therefore a special kind in the concrete pump world. Features of the new system are its robustness, high performance and quiet running.

Semi-Closed Oil Circuit (HCC)

The new drive unit is combined with the highly efficient semi-closed oil circuit, which supplies all drives powerfully and reliably with hydraulic energy. As a result, the oil volume could be significantly reduced.

The new Liebherr system combines the advantages of the proven open and closed circuits currently on the market, without their respective disadvantages. Customers confirm the quiet and powerful operation of the pump unit.

The extensive accessories catalogue, allow customers to fulfil any necessary orders: For example, LED lighting designs for optimal work in the dark, various storage boxes for materials and tools as well as shelves for extension hoses

Felling Trailers Inc., a national leader in industrial and commercial trailers, has recently been awarded a cooperative purchasing contract in the Trailers category at Sourcewell.

Felling Trailers Inc. was awarded a Sourcewell contract following a rigorous request for proposal process resulting in contracts that meet, or exceed, local procurement requirements. Sourcewell is a self-sustaining government organization helping government, education and nonprofit agencies with access to cooperative purchasing solutions.

For close to a decade, Felling Trailers has held a Sourcewell contract. The company received its first Sourcewell awarded contract in 2014 in the Heavy Equipment Trailers category.

As a prior Sourcewell contract holder, Felling Trailers Inc. will continue to provide innovative transportation solutions for each Sourcewell participating agency. Felling Trailers has an extensive dealer network that spans the nation providing Sourcewell users access to contract pricing no matter their location.

Felling’s trailer experts will work to provide agencies with the right transport solution to fit their entity’s needs.

“Felling Trailers is once again honored to be a part of one of the most comprehensible purchasing cooperatives in existence. Sourcewell goes through the entire bid writing and approval process beforehand during the contract evaluation process thus allowing Sourcewell members an easier, convenient and expeditious way to purchase our products,” said Nathan Uphus sales manager Felling Trailers.

North American Excavation Shoring Association (NAXSA)

Shore Up for Safety” Construction Safety Week

Dates: May 1 – 5, 2023

The North American Excavation Shoring Association (NAXSA) has timed the inaugural Shore Up for Safety Week to support National Construction Safety Week, May 1 – 5, 2023.

NAXSA’s event is a week-long, nationwide mobilization of members and colleagues as lifesavers, promoting safety awareness and training through hands-on activities with customers, contractors, and crews. The goal is to focus a full work week on reaching as many companies and workers as possible with critical information about the proper use of shoring systems.

What Qualifies as a “Shore Up for Safety” Event?

Any excavation safety training, competent person class, toolbox talk, safety

meeting or presentation. Who Can Participate?

Everyone who wants to put safety awareness back into job planning and be part of creating a change in job site safety culture. In short, everyone is willing to play their part to stop unprotected trench fatalities. Anything Else?

NAXSA also provides Registered members with Shore Up for Safety stickers that deliver immediate access to safety answers and experts – a world of resources linked right to a worker’s hard hat – via a QR code easily scanned with a mobile phone. Shore Up for Safety materials position hosts, companies, and workers as positive, proactive lifesavers who will bring what they learn forward to help all peers and meet all challenges they may encounter.

NAXSA was created to promote the safe and efficient use of excavation shoring practices. It was formed to represent manufacturers, engineers, rental companies/distributors, universities/educators, associates/suppliers, and government agency representatives who share the common goal of maintaining safety in the excavation shoring industry with the result of zero deaths and injuries.

EuroAuctions Holds 25thAnniversary Sale at Leeds Facility

AEuroAuctions sale at its flagship site in Leeds featured more than 6,000 lots for sale on the company’s 25th anniversary, providing the biggest sale ever.

Like the perfect storm, the planets aligned, consignors offered more quality machinery than ever before, buyers got wind of the fact the machinery on offer was of exceptional quality and there was lots of it. That, combined with consignments of 1,000 excavators, from mini diggers to over 22-ton machines, that went over the ramp on sale day, this was the most exceptional sale that EuroAuctions has ever hosted, the company said.

And, if that wasn’t enough, it coincided with the 25th anniversary of Euro Auctions.

In March 1998, in Dromore, Northern Ireland, the Keys family was hosting its first plant auction, which featured 371 lots. Now, 25 years later, 6,171 lots from 578 vendors, from 28 countries, were sold to 4,888 bidders from 90 countries.

At this March sale, 578 vendors from 28 countries consigned equipment to the sale. Predictably, it was the home nation that ruled this auction, with 511 vendors coming from the UK.

Nearly 5,000 bidders registered to take part in this sale, with 84 percent bidding online, however, with floor bidders and the camp-followers who like to turn up at each auction for the buzz of a “big sale”, the crowd on the day was one of the biggest Euro Auctions has seen, with 20 percent of bidders registered for the first time with Euro Auctions, of which more than 15 percent purchased.

Again, the home crowds were the most aggressive bidders with UK buyers securing 45 percent of the lots on offer, with bidders from Europe being 51 percent of the buyers, with the Middle East, North America, Africa, South America and the Caribbean making up the remainder.

“To continue to report that Euro Auctions has just had another record-breaking sale, sale-on- sale, may be sounding repetitive, however the business cannot apologize enough for that continued exuberance in reporting each sale,” Chris Osborne, sales manager at Euro Auctions, said.

“That fact is each sale just gets better and better. We are inundated with good machinery and our customers trust us to achieve best price.”

Record Consignments Show Confidence, Trust in Euro Auctions

“The strength of this sale was astounding, with the number and quality of consignments unprecedented,” said Osborne.

“With many large rental companies refreshing inventory, sending large multiple consignments to this sale, and the numbers

were quite remarkable. The value of those Top-10 consignors amounted to over £20 million in sales. One rental company consigned £7.5 million of machinery, another £2.6 million, another £2.1 million, another £1 million. In the list of the next 40 consignors, in the top 50, the average consignment per individual vendor was in the region of £200,000.

“This shows the level of trust and confidence that the market has in Euro Auctions.

To dispose such large consignments of machinery, in an open and unreserved sale, on the final knock of the auctioneers’ hammer, our consignors trust Euro Auctions to gain the best price the market can provide.

“Following various conversations, many of those rental companies, it was clear that they were awaiting consignments of new machines from OEMs. With fresh used machines maintaining their value when compared to new stock, owners were happi-

ly disposing of inventory, with an ‘out with the old, in with the new’attitude at this sale. These were strategic business decisions, as you don’t sell millions worth of machines, at an unreserved sale, on a whim.”

Strong Prices

“At this auction it was evident prices were going to be strong from the very first day,” Osborne said. “There was an urgency to the activity of the sale, with prospective buyers not holding back, but getting straight into serious bidding. My colleagues and I could feel the atmosphere which was palpable.

“We have been noticing this sense of urgency at previous sales where buyers are keen to try and secure good lots. Whilst this is a ‘self-regulating’ industry, with the market dictating the value of each item sold — demand and supply set the price. Those following the auction closely will have noticed that many models increased in prices since the sales of late 2022.”

Market Price

“The used construction and agricultural machinery sector in the UK, and Europe, uses each Euro Auctions sale to ‘price check’the industry,” Osborne said.

“As we sell so much construction and agricultural machinery, every 6 weeks, we do know the true value of equipment. With 6,000-plus machines at this sale, including 1,000 excavators, we have a wide breadth of data at our disposal as to what machine values are. As we will sell models and ranges from almost every popular manufacturer, age from new to 10+ years old, we really do know what current values are.”

Stock In Abundance

“For the next Euro Auctions sale at the Leeds site, on the 26th to 29thApril we have over 1,000 pieces already consigned to this auction and in the yard at Leeds. With consignors choosing to work with Euro Auctions so far out in the auction cycle, vendors trust us and want us to sell their equipment for them.”

Notice: Notice: After (43) successful years of providing excavating, demolition, and utility services, Mr. Bill Danylko has decided to liquidate this business and focus on his recycling yard and farming. Everything in the auction is owned by Danylko Excavating and will positively sell to the highest bidder regardless of price!

PlanstoDoubleCapacityforRail Across Potomac River Proceeds

embarked on the rail program in 2020.

“A lot of those projects were just in the early stages of design, and so as we’ve moved into this with better estimates, obviously inflation has been a big part,” he explained. “We found that all of the funding that we had is not going to be sufficient to cover all of our projects.”

Stadtler added that if no funding is secured in the next year to fill the gap, the state would need to decide whether to delay other rail projects to fully finance Long Bridge.

While the funding gap mostly affects funding several years out, officials are confident in the planned 2030 opening.

Hourly Rail Service Between D.C., Richmond Expected

The Long Bridge project is backed by D.C. officials, along with Amtrak, VRE and CSX, which owns the existing rail structure. It comes alongside other planned improvements, including construction of a fourth track south ofWashington; the acquisition of

hundreds of miles of track and right of way elsewhere in Virginia; and other improvements in the I-95 corridor and across the state.

When the new bridge is complete, the state expects hourly Amtrak trains during peak hours between Washington and Richmond, the Post reported.

Business leaders have touted the expanded service as essential to the economic vibrancy of the greater Washington region, noting better access to jobs and housing.

Kathy Hollinger, chief executive of the Greater Washington Partnership — a group of business executives that has pushed for more passenger rail — said Long Bridge progress ensures a future not only with expanded Amtrak offerings, but also with regional commuter trains between Maryland and Northern Virginia.

“The new Long Bridge represents a unique opportunity to better connect the super region,” explained Hollinger, calling it of “national significance” because the bridge connects the southern and northeastern United States.
