Patrick Bernier, a Topcor Services division managerwho is overseeing the Calcasieu River bridge

project, said Lake Charles, La., locals call the spanthe Pistol Bridge because it has 5,000 pairs of

dueling pistols adorning its handrail.

On Nov. 16 Cowin EquipmentCompany purchased the distribu-tion rights for Volvo ConstructionEquipment in the state of Alabamafrom ASC ConstructionEquipment USA Inc. The Alabamaterritory also includes the Floridapanhandle and coastal Mississippi

regions. The realignment of territo-ries suits both companies’ strategicambitions and has had limitedimpact on jobs, other than thetransfer of affected ASC employ-ees to Cowin. According to Brad Stimmel,

president of ASC Construction

Equipment USA Inc., “It is a trans-action that will allow us to contin-ue our growth in the U.S. as well asto assist Volvo with enhancing itsexpansion of quality dealers inNorth America. Because of theirlong history in the territory andadditional locations, I believe

Cowin Equipment Company isequipped to expand customer serv-ice in the Alabama territory at afaster pace than ASC could have inthe short term. As part of the Volvofamily, anytime ASC can helpstrengthen the Volvo dealer net

Major work on the Interstate 10 bridgespanning the Calcasieu River in Louisianawill begin after Thanksgiving, when pinson 48 girders will be replaced.The pin-replacement work is complicat-

ed because Topcor Services LLC, the gen-eral contractor for the project, will beremoving 4-in. (10.2 cm) pins, enlargingthe hole and inserting 4.5-in. (11.4 cm)pins, said Patrick Bernier, a division man-ager overseeing the project for the BatonRouge-based company. The intent is tomake the bridge sturdier and safer.“The new pins will provide a better load

transfer,” he said.This portion of the bridge repair project

is slated to be completed by Dec. 22. Thework is part of a larger, $5.7 million repairand maintenance project of the CalcasieuRiver bridge connecting Lake Charles andWestlake in southwest Louisiana. Thework is a Louisiana Department ofTransportation & Development (La.DOTD) project.The overall project began in August and

should be completed anywhere fromFebruary to April. The 60-year-old bridgewill be spot cleaned and painted, anchorbolts and handrails will be repaired, roadsurface joints will be installed, resealed anddamaged rivets will be replaced and miss-ing dueling pistols that adorn the handrailwill be replaced.

Construction Employment RisesConstruction employment rose in half the

states and decreased in half in October and dur-ing the past year, closely matching the stablenational employment picture, according to ananalysis by the Associated General Contractorsof America of Labor Department data. The evensplit between gains and losses reflects the accel-erating improvement in apartment and privatenonresidential construction, offset by a declin-ing public market and stalled single-family sec-tor.“Construction employment gains are likely to

remain spotty for months to come,” said KenSimonson, the association’s chief economist.“Local factors, rather than regional or industrytrends, seem to dictate whether a state has risingor falling construction employment in a givenmonth.”North Dakota ranked first among 24 states

and the District of Columbia that recorded con-struction employment gains from October 2010to October 2011. The state added 19 percent(4,100 jobs). Oklahoma ranked second (8.1 per-

Blanchard, S.C. County Celebrate Decade of PartnershipOrangeburg County, located in the

Midlands of South Carolina, is a fairly ruralcounty with a population of 92,501. The1,104 sq. mi. of road in the county is main-tained by 45 employees of the OrangeburgCounty Public Works Department.Considering the amount of road theseemployees have to cover, their need for reli-able equipment is evident.

A decade ago, members of theOrangeburg County Public WorksDepartment partnered with BlanchardMachinery Company on a five-yearmachine lease agreement. This program wasso successful that Orangeburg County hasopted for two additional leases since 2001.With each lease agreement, at the end of thefive year term, Blanchard buys back theleased machines and also gives the countythe equity earned on the machines (based oncurrent market value) so that they may inturn transfer that to a new lease.

On Oct. 26, Blanchard Machinery deliv-ered 35 new Caterpillar machines toOrangeburg County under their latest leaseagreement.

“Orangeburg County is able to lease themachines, knowing they will get the equityat the end of the lease and turn that over to anew lease. At the same time, Blanchard isdoing the service, including preventivemaintenance, oil changes and warranty workon each of the leased machines,” said JimJohnston, Blanchard Machinery’s heavyequipment territory manager. “Before we setup the agreement in 2001, the repair costs ontheir fleet of machines was horrific. Underthe agreement, the lease cost on the new

machines was relatively the same as whatthey were paying in repair costs, so the coun-ty was able to do this without raising taxes ormillage.”

Butch Looper, assistant public servicesdirector, Orangeburg County, agrees. “Thebest part of this deal has been the availabili-ty of equipment that is up and running.Before we started with our lease program weran a mixture of different types of equip-

ment. The down time killed us. Since westarted this lease program, we don’t experi-ence excessive down time like we have inthe past.

“Having reliable motorgraders that are upand running, puts us in a better position tominimize the time it takes to cycle throughthe approximately 870 miles of unpavedroads that we maintain.” Looper continued,

Earl Whalen, deputy administrator of the

Division of Public Services, OrangeburgCounty, added, “The partnership withBlanchard has given us the ability to con-struct rather than just maintain our roads.Within the past 10 years, we’ve actuallyimproved nearly 120 miles of roads to hardsurface in the county. With a county that hasabout a thousand miles of roads in its main-tenance system, every mile we can improve

There was a huge turnout for the delivery of Cat machines from Blanchard Machinery and barbecue lunch on a picture perfect South Carolina day.

The key players who make this five-year lease agreement a success are (L-R)Butch Looper, assistant public works director, Orangeburg County; Joel Reynolds,sales manager Blanchard Machinery; Jim Johnston, territory manager, BlanchardMachinery; Don Wise, Ag sales representative Blanchard Machinery; Willie Reeves,assistant supervisor-vehicle maintenance, Orangeburg County; Dexter Curry,mechanic, Orangeburg County; Sinkler Boone, construction coordinator,Orangeburg County; Harry Hurley, used equipment manager, BlanchardMachinery; Phil Denny, vice president-sales, Blanchard Machinery; Earl Whalen,deputy administrator, Orangeburg County.

Small Towns Turn to ‘Road Diets’ to Slow Busy TrafficBy Jeannie NussASSOCIATED PRESS

HARRISON, Ark. (AP) It lookslike any other road-improvementproject: orange barrels, repavingequipment and men in fluorescentvests. But a closer look revealssomething curious. Instead of making the street

wider to accommodate more cars,the crew reduces it from four lanesto two in a project called a “roaddiet.” The goal is to rein in aggres-sive drivers and make shoppingareas friendlier to pedestrians. The idea seems counterintuitive

for traffic-choked towns, but it’scatching on. In Harrison, a smallcity in northwest Arkansas, offi-cials also hope it drums up morebusiness along Main Street. MayorJeff Crockett wants drivers “toslow down, stop, shop, take yourtime getting through.” Some people say the plan seems

to be working, citing an increase infoot traffic at stores. Others worrythat the new configuration willhave the opposite effect: If trafficbacks up too much, people will

flee Main Street for other routes. “We’re afraid of people avoid-

ing this area,” said Kristi Myers,who runs a tire and battery shopwith her husband along the newlypaved street. “If someone doesn’twant to come down this road, lesstraffic means less business for us.” Road diets — and doubts about

them — are not entirely new. Adecade ago in University Place,Wash., city officials faced opposi-tion when they eliminated sometraffic lanes. “The idea that you can take

lanes away seems to some to beinsanity,” said Steve Sugg, citymanager in the community about40 mi. southwest of Seattle. Yet in University Place and

scores of other communities thathave taken similar measures,motorists are often pleasantly sur-prised. Commutes don’t take muchlonger, and more drivers follow thespeed limit, largely because theyhave no more passing lanes. In Harrison, the road was nar-

rowed to two driving lanes, with aturn lane in the middle. But business owners such as

Ernest Raney, who runs a pawnshop with his wife along MainStreet, question whether it willachieve anything for businesses. “They call it a road diet, which

means they’re going to cut back ontraffic,” Raney said. “But I can’timagine any businessman wantingless traffic in front of his business.” The pace of life has always been

slow in this city of 13,000. Peoplehonk their horns to say hello, not tocriticize someone’s driving. Salesclerks and supermarket baggersknow customers by name. Traffic here hardly qualifies as

gridlock compared with majormetropolitan areas. More oftenthan not, tourists headed north toBranson, Mo., or south to kayak onthe Buffalo River bypass the city’sdowntown. And for visitors whoventure onto the city’s Main Street,there’s not much to stop for. City officials want the road diet

to change that. “Our hope is that it will spur

more business development andgrowth,” said Terry Cook, whoruns the visitors bureau. Road diets have served as eco-

nomic-development tools in othercommunities, including Chandler,Ariz., where people working atoffice complexes used to climbbehind the wheel if they wanted tocross the street for lunch. Business has shot up since the

suburb outside Phoenix completeda road diet last fall. Sales taxreceipts are up, and more than adozen new companies openeddowntown, according to TeriKillgore, the downtown redevelop-ment manager. Harrison completed its road diet

only a few weeks ago, so it’s toosoon to know whether the new sys-tem will pay off. So far, foot traffic at Lana

Trublood’s flower shop has morethan doubled now that drivers canturn into her store more easily.Some customers told her they hadwanted to stop by in the past butdidn’t want to risk opening theircar doors into fast-moving traffic. Down the street, at the pawn

shop, Raney told a different story. “I haven’t heard anybody say

they spotted this place becausethey were going slower,” he saidwith a laugh.

In fact, he and his wife, Marie,say they haven’t heard much posi-tive feedback at all, except fromcustomers who comment that theroad is now smoother. That would have happened any-

way. The state resurfaced morethan 3 mi. of the street this year,including the 1.3 mi. where the citygot rid of a lane. The project cost$1.1 million — the same pricewithout the road diet, since work-ers simply paint lines in differentspots, according to the state high-way and transportation depart-ment. Much remains unchanged. Cars

still zip by stores and screech to ahalt at stoplights. The speed limit isthe same. Still, Dan Burden, who pushes

road diets and other transportationideas to make communities morewalkable, said the road diet fitsnicely with Harrison’s goal ofgleaning more revenue from itsbusinesses. “There are a lot of small, con-

servative towns ... that say, ‘We’renot hippies but we want to makemoney,”’ he said.

Miss.’s Highway 9 Reconstruction: More Than Just ToyotaBy Paul SwindolMISSISSIPPI BUSINESS JOURNAL

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) At first glance,the Mississippi Highway 9 reconstructionunder way in Northeast Mississippi is sim-ply a road improvement project supportingthe new Toyota automobile plant at BlueSprings. The $90-million four-laning/improve-

ment project was in the works before Toyotaever committed to building its plant inMississippi. The project is expected to not only serve

Toyota, but also serve other industries in thearea, and, just as important, enhance publicsafety. In addition, some of the fast-track pre-

construction components of the project rep-resent firsts for the state, and could be incor-porated into other road-building projects inthe future. “This project predates Toyota,” said

Randy Kelley, who heads the Three RiversPlanning and Development District andplayed a role in recruiting Toyota to BlueSprings. “The work has been the focus ofMDOT for years now.” MDOT listed the 10-mi. (16 km) stretch

of the two-lane between Pontotoc andSherman in its Vision 21 plan back in 2002

as an immediate priority. The roadwaybetween Mississippi Highways 6 and 178was already overburdened. The twisting, undulating highway was a

traffic and safety nightmare. With trafficcounts projected to increase according toMDOT research, a new, four-lane highwaywas needed. “It followed every hill and hollow, that’s

for sure,” Kelley said. “You could leavePontotoc, drive for 30 minutes, and still notbe in Sherman, a trip of maybe 14 miles.” Highway 9 came under renewed focus

when Toyota announced in February 2007its selection of Blue Springs as the site of itsnewest automobile plant. With that, the statecranked up the project. MDOT announced in 2008 that it had

chosen its preferred route for the four-laningproject. Everything seemed a “go.” Then the economy tanked. Not only did

this affect transportation funding, it put theconstruction of the Toyota plant, originallyset to start production in late 2009 or early2010, in limbo. Toyota announced inDecember 2008 that it was indefinitely post-poning the proposed opening of the plant. Then, in June 2010 Toyota contacted the

state and said the plant was back on, with aproposed opening of this fall. Suddenly, the Highway 9 project needed

to get done, and quickly. MDOT contacted the engineering firm

Neel-Schaffer Inc., which MDOT chose asits pre-construction agent on the project. Thelargest Mississippi-based engineering firm,Neel-Schaffer, charged with managing thefinal design (roadway and bridge) as well asright of way (maps and deeds, appraisal,acquisitions/relocations, closing attorneyand property management) and utilities relo-cation, said it could wrap up all of the pre-construction work in 12 months. Robert Walker, senior vice president at

Neel-Schaffer, said his firm put approxi-mately 20 staffers on the project, but thework required a larger team effort and,importantly, fast-track design-build compo-nents. For example, the state put in “early bird”

incentives for property owners. If ownersagreed to sell early, the state would offer abonus. The state also set up special escrow

accounts for the landowners. This sped pay-ments to the owners, allowing them to relo-cate more quickly. The design process also was altered. Plans

were only 60 percent complete when pro-duced. This cut the time needed for the plansto be totally completed while giving contrac-tors enough information on the proposed

project to allow for bidding and to beginmoving utilities. Engineers said the new stretch of

Highway 9 is designed to be much safer forthe traveling public compared to the oldroadway. Bill Jamieson, MDOT district engineer,

said to his knowledge the expedited right ofway and partial-plan elements of the projectwere firsts in the State of Mississippi. Northern Transportation Commissioner

Mike Tagert said these new fast-track com-ponents might not work for all future proj-ects, but the Highway 9 process proves in hismind that they can not only speed up proj-ects, but also save money. The general contractor on the project is

Eutaw Construction of Aberdeen, whichwon the bid last May. Work started on thehighway in July. MDOT gave the project 17 months for

completion. Jamieson said the project wasabout 50 percent completed and well aheadof schedule. In a statement, Eutaw president Thomas

Elmore said the project includes “clearingand grubbing 650 acres, moving seven mil-lion cubic yards of dirt, construction of 11bridges, laying 15,000 linear feet of pipe andpaving 170,000 tons of asphalt.”

Two individuals and two organizations were recognizedNov. 15 for their outstanding contributions to the advance-ment of Public Private Partnerships (P3s) within the trans-portation construction industry at the American Road andTransportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) 23rdAnnual P3 Conference, held Nov. 14 to 16 in Washington,D.C. ARTBA’s P3 Awards program spotlights the projects and

people bringing together private and public resources to helpmeet the nation’s critical transportation infrastructure needs.Applicants were judged by members of ARTBA’s P3Division in these categories:The “P3 Entrepreneur of the Year Award” is given to one

public sector official and one private sector person for theirinvolvement in promoting the use of P3s:

• Jordi Graells, president, Abertis USA — Graells wasrecognized for his leadership in negotiating the PR-22 andPR-5 Toll Concessions in Puerto Rico. The firm partneredwith Goldman Sachs to submit the winning $1.4 billion bidto operate and maintain the highways and toll facilities forthe next 40 years.

• Kome Ajise, P3 program manager, Caltrans — Ajisewas honored for his leadership in managing Caltrans’ P3office, his role in the Presidio Parkway project and his near-ly 25-year career in the public sector advancing transporta-tion infrastructure projects.

The “P3 Project of the Year Award” recognizes innovativeprojects that serve as an example of successful cooperationbetween the public and private sectors. The judging resultedin a tie vote:

• Denver Regional Transportation District (Denver RTD)— The Denver RTD was recognized for its role in the $2.1billion FasTracks Eagle P3, the largest transit project in thenation to utilize a full Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain procurement. The FasTracks project consists ofthree rail corridors and adds 122 mi. of rail and bus rapidtransit to Denver’s existing system that will connect down-town with Denver International Airport.

• Puerto Rico P3 Authority — The group was recognizedfor securing the PR-22 and PR-5 toll road deals. It signed a40-year highway concession with the AutopistasMetroplitanas de Puerto Rico consortium to privately oper-ate and maintain the existing routes. The Puerto Rico P3Authority developed a strategy for successfully implement-ing the P3 model and built support for the projects through alarge-scale public relations campaign.

ARTBA’s P3 Conference is the nation’s leading summiton innovative transportation finance, attended by hundredsof industry executives, public officials and investment firmrepresentatives each year.

ASCE Releases U.S. Economy, Family Budgets ReportThe nation’s deteriorating surface trans-

portation infrastructure will cost theAmerican economy more than 876,000jobs, and suppress the growth of the coun-try’s gross domestic product by $897 billionby 2020, according to a new report releasedby the American Society of Civil Engineers.The report, conducted by the EconomicDevelopment Research Group of Boston,showed that in 2010, deficiencies inAmerica’s roads, bridges, and transit sys-tems cost American households and busi-nesses roughly $130 billion, includingapproximately $97 billion in vehicle operat-ing costs, $32 billion in delays in traveltime, $1.2 billion in safety costs, and $590million in environmental costs. If investments in surface transportation

infrastructure are not made soon, those costsare expected to grow exponentially. Within10 years, U.S. businesses would pay anadded $430 billion in transportation costs,household incomes would fall by more than$7,000, and U.S. exports will fall by $28 bil-lion per year, the report estimates. “Clearly, failing to invest in our roads,

bridges and transit systems has a dramaticnegative impact on America’s economy,”said Kathy J. Caldwell, president of ASCE.“The link between a nation’s infrastructureand its economic competitiveness hasalways been understood. But today, for the

first time, we have data showing how muchfailing to invest in our surface transportationsystem can negatively impact job growthand family budgets. This report is a wake-upcall for policymakers because it shows thatinvesting in infrastructure contributes to cre-ating jobs, while failing to do so hurts mainstreet America.”

American Businesses and Workers Will Suffer

The report shows that failing infrastruc-ture will drive the cost of doing business upby adding $430 billion to transportationcosts in the next decade. It will cost firmsmore to ship goods, and the raw materialsthey buy will cost more due to increasedtransportation costs. Productivity across the business sector

also will tumble. Those increased costs willcause businesses to underperform by $240billion over the next decade, which willdrive the prices of goods up. As a result,U.S. exports will fall by $28 billion, includ-ing 79 of 93 tradable commodities. Ten sec-tors of the U.S. economy account for morethan half of this unprecedented loss inexport value — among them key technolo-gy sectors like machinery, medical devices,communications equipment, which pro-duces much of this country’s innovations. America also would lose jobs in high-

value sectors as business income goes

down. Almost 877,000 jobs would be lostby 2020, primarily in the high-value, pro-fessional, business and medical sectorswhich are vital to America’s knowledge-based service economy, the report said. Ultimately, Americans will get paid less.

While the economy would lose jobs, thosewho are able to find work will find theirpaychecks cut. “The cost to businesses will reduce the

productivity and competitiveness ofAmerican firms relative to global competi-tors significantly. By 2020, American fami-lies will lose more than $7,000 because ofthe ripple effects that will occur throughoutthe economy,” said Steven Landau of theEDR Group. “Business will have to divertincreasing portions of earned income to payfor transportation delays and vehicle repairs,draining money that would otherwise beinvested in innovation and expansion.”

Families Will Have a Lower Standard of Living

A lack of investment in transportationinfrastructure would inflict a double wham-my on American families who would seetheir household incomes fall by $60 amonth by 2020, while having to spend $30per month more for goods. The total cost tofamilies would exact about $10,600 perfamily between now and 2020, equal to

$1,600 per year on household budgets.

Modest Investment NeededThe report estimates that in order to bring

the nation’s surface transportation infra-structure up to tolerable levels, policymak-ers would need to invest approximately $1.7trillion between now and 2020 in thenation’s highways and transit systems. TheUnited States is currently on track to spenda portion of that — $877 billion — duringthe same timeframe. The infrastructurefunding gap equals $846 billion over 9 yearsor $94 billion per year.Small investments in infrastructure, equal

to about 60 percent of what Americansspend on fast food each year, would:• Protect 1.1 million jobs• Save Americans nearly two billion

hours in travel time each year and• Deliver an average of $1,060 to each

family, and • Protect $2,600 in GDP for every man,

woman and child in the United StatesThe report, the first of four scheduled by

the society, examined the country’s surfacetransportation infrastructure. Future reportswill examine the state of the nation’s infra-structure as it relates to water and, waste-water delivery and treatment; energy trans-mission; and airports and marine ports.

New Holland Construction Announces2011 Extreme Dream Contest WinnerNew Holland Construction and Turf magazine

named Brandon Vaughan, Toms Creek Nurseryand Landscaping, Denton, N.C., as the winner ofthe “2011 Extreme Dream contest.” The grandprize — a New Holland L218 skid steer loaderworth more than $35,000 — was presented toVaughan during an award ceremony on Oct. 26 atthe Crowne Plaza Hotel in Louisville, Ky., in con-junction with the 2011 GIE+EXPO.Sponsored by New Holland Construction, the

contest showcased the best landscape design/buildprojects of the year across the United States andCanada. Joining Vaughan for the award ceremonywere fellow contest semi-finalists Mike Dasilva,Paradise Views Landscaping, Etobicoke, Ontario,and Brett Parks, Not Just a Garden Center,Mishawaka, Ind.“Every extreme landscape design/build project

starts with a dream, and with a talented landscapingcontractor who makes that dream come true,” said DaveDecember, marketing manager, New Holland Construction.“On behalf of New Holland Construction, we are pleased tohonor Brandon Vaughan as the winner of the 2011 ExtremeDream contest, and we congratulate Mike Dasilva, BrettParks and the other contestants for their extremely uniqueprojects.”Vaughan said his winning project was one of the more

challenging hardscape projects he has ever worked on. Hiscompany, Toms Creek Nursery and Landscaping, was taskedby its client to create a large outdoor entertainment spacealongside a home undergoing a complete remodel. The chal-lenge for Vaughan was that the area to the left of the houseprovided the sole access to a lake. The property line on theother side of the house did not provide enough room foraccess. Vaughan and his team hauled in 150 cu. yds. (114 cu m)

of soil to level out the turf area, along with 25 triaxle loadsof boulders and 5,000 ft. (1,524 m) of irrigation piping.Vaughan created an area for entertaining and relaxing, com-plete with stone patios, a curved path leading down to thewater’s edge and a large, tiled fireplace.Toms Creek Nursery and Landscaping specializes in land-

scape design, plants, hardscaping, irrigation, lighting andwater features. The company’s craftsmen have been creatingstone patios for nearly 30 years.Dasilva and his crew at Paradise Views

Landscaping worked in a very tight back yard —approximately 30 by 25 ft. (9 by 7.6 m) — to cre-ate a paved patio, complete with pergola and awater feature. Dasilva also crafted a paved frontentrance and driveway.Parks and his team at Not Just a Garden Center

removed an old deck and landscape to create abackyard retreat, complete with new plantings,lighting and a custom designed pergola, outdoorkitchen and unique pondless waterfall and naturalgas firepit. Parks brought in more than 40 tons (36t) of base material and 20 skids of block by handwith a wheelbarrow.“Not only does the 2011 Extreme Dream contest

illustrate New Holland Construction’s commitmentto the hard-working landscape contractors in the

field every day, it also celebrates the launch of our 200 Seriesskid steer loaders,” December said. “The 200 Series skidsteer loaders have been engineered from the ground up tohelp New Holland customers work faster, smarter and moreprofitably.”New Holland Construction’s leadership in the skid steer

loader category began in 1972 with the introduction of theL35 — the industry’s first skid steer loader with roll-overprotective structures (ROPS) and a vertical lift boom system.Since then, New Holland Construction has produced morethan 200,000 skid steer loaders for customers in the land-scaping, agricultural and construction markets.To participate in the 2011 Extreme Dream contest, land-

scape designers and contractors across North America wererequired to register online and provide a detailed summary oftheir biggest, best and/or most challenging landscape project,along with photography showing the project from start to fin-ish. From March through September, the editors of Turfmagazine and the moderators of LawnSite.com selectedentries to be voted on by members of LawnSite.

The Edge hitch adapter features a durable, heavy steel construction frame measuring 17.5 in. (44.4 cm)high, 46 in. (116.8 cm) wide and 12 in. (30.5 cm) deep.

Genesis Attachments announced major enhancementsto its orange-peel type scrap grapples designed to reducemaintenance, improve durability, lower operating costsand enhance safety.Available in four models ranging in capacity from .75

to 1.5 cu. yds. (.6 to 1.3 cu m), Dan Raihala, Genesisdesign engineer, said customers can expect more produc-tivity from this market-leading design.“We looked hard at our original design and listened to

customer feedback to identify areas in which improve-ments could be made,” he said. “The first was in the areaof maintenance. The new design features composite bear-ings with dust seals at all pivot points, leaving only therotation bearing to grease. The heavy-duty cylinder

guarding system, designed to protect the cylinders andinternal components, is easily removed for mainte-nance.”Other changes Raihala cited include reverse-mounted

cylinders to protect rods from damage, large-borehydraulic cylinders to maximize clamping force, andlong-life, abrasion-resistant steel tips that are easilyreplaced with a simple perimeter weld.“We also recognized that our customers want a

choice in tines, and Genesis now offers the widest vari-ety,” he said. “We provide flat bottom or pointed tineshapes and augment them with three spade types — half-, narrow- and wide-width — to meet specific applicationneeds.”

Additional GSG features include large-diameter hardened steel pins with integrated

shear-proof retainers, high-torque 360 degree con-tinuous rotation for better material access andplacement, and an overall footprint designed toeasily fit inside trailers.For more information, call 715/395-

Doosan DA40 Articulated Dump Truck Is First in FamilyDoosan Infracore Construction Equipment has launched

the new DA40 articulated dump truck (ADT), the first in anew family of Doosan ADTs offering increased enginepower and torque, higher payloads, lower fuel consumption,enhanced operator comfort and faster travel speeds, accord-ing to the manufacturer.

Incorporating more than 40 years of expertise in the ADTmarket, the new Doosan ADTs are optimized for extremeperformance. The agile undercarriage, designed to ensurethat all six wheels are in permanent contact with the ground,means that Doosan articulated dump trucks can operate onvery rough and soft terrain on construction sites such as roadprojects and mass excavation hauling as well as in miningand quarrying applications.

Power, Performance, Productivity and Fuel Efficiency

Powered by a 6-cylinder interim Tier IV compliant dieselengine with a gross power output of 500 hp (373 kW) at2,100 rpm, the new DA40 offers a 10-percent increase inengine power compared with the previous MT41 model.There is a 22-percent increase in gross torque to 1,750 lb. ft.at 1300 rpm.

Contributing to the overall 8-percent reduction in fuelconsumption is the new transmission offering 8 forward and4 reverse speeds. The new transmission improves the trans-fer of power from the engine to the wheels for outstandingtraction. To withstand the increased power, the drivelinedimensions and cooling capacity of the truck have beenincreased.

The DA40 combines “best-in-class” fuel consumptionwith a higher top speed of 36 mph (58 kmh). The DA40 alsohas an increased body capacity of 31.9 cu. yds. (24 cu m),and the payload has been boosted to 44 tons (40 t) withouttailgate, an increase of more than 15 percent over the payloadof the MT41.

Six-Wheel Traction, Outstanding Rough and Soft Terrain Capabilities

The DA40 has permanent 6-wheel drive for equal powerdistribution while the free-swinging rear tandem bogie andthe special articulation system offer enhanced driving per-formance in difficult terrain. The sloping body designenhances the stability of the truck due to its low center ofgravity and allows fast and easy tipping, even in the mostdemanding conditions. The combination of the tandem bogieand the sloping rear frame results in added rough and soft ter-rain capabilities and avoids the need for aids such as tractioncontrol, according to the manufacturer.

To handle the increased payload as well as provide a

smoother ride for the operator, the DA40 has a completelynew hydro-gas front suspension. This independent front sus-pension allows for free movement on one side, withoutmovement on the opposite side, providing maximum groundcontact and shock absorption.

The articulation hinge is positioned behind the turningring to provide equal weight distribution even during maxi-mum turning and ensures maximum contact between thefront wheels and the ground for optimum traction.

Like all Doosan ADTs, the DA40 features a powerfulengine brake and hydraulic transmission retarder as stan-dard. The wet brakes offer a long service life and sealed pro-tection from the environment and, with oil-cooled multipledisc brakes on all the wheels, the safety of the operator isnever compromised.

Operator Comfort and ConvenienceThe DA40 has a completely new cab providing more

space and improved visibility for the operator, lower noiselevels and a fully automatic climate control system. For eas-ier operation, Doosan has introduced new electronic systemsand simplified fingertip controls with a digital display of alldesired machine functions. The fully automatic 8 gear trans-mission and smooth Tiptronic gear-shifting (both automaticand manual gear functions are available) allow the operatorto concentrate on working conditions.

For routine maintenance and service, the cab can be tiltedbackward to provide easy access to components. Easier serv-ice access and longer service intervals result in lower operat-ing costs. A fully automatic central greasing system and rearview camera are standard.

No matter what kind of screenmedia is being used, proper installationis crucial. Poorly installed screenmedia can slow down the operationand hurt the product quality, produc-tion and profit. Create material thatmeets specification, achieve longerscreen media wear life and generatethe tonnage the operation wasdesigned to produce by installing thescreen media right the first time. The two most common types of

screen media are Flex-Mat-type andwoven wire. Here are some installationtips for each:

Flex-Mat-Type (Self-Cleaning)Prior to Installation:• Check for proper tensioning sys-

tem and correct installation of tensionbar• Ensure that crown bar is fully

engaged in “U” channel rubber and isconsistent in height• Ensure clamp rails are not worn

thin, bent or deformed• Ensure clamp rails are the same

length as the screen media• In bolt-type tensioning systems:

Check the rail design and height of boltholes; Check for missing bolts (replace ifbroken or missing)• Clean the rail and hook edge thoroughly• Check for cracks, broken welds and

loose bolts on screen box or deck (fix if nec-essary)

During Installation:• Ensure clamp rails are not overlapping

multiple panels, but fit each panel

• Side-tension systems: Ensure there is a.750 in. (1.9 cm) space between the wall andthe outside of the hooks• Align polyurethane strips perfectly on all

crown bar supports, making sure they lie flat

on the bars when tightened• If equipped with overlaps, place

overlaps on top of preceding screenmedia starting at the discharge end• Stretch Flex-Mat-type screen

media “tight as a drum”• Do not over-tighten when using an

impact wrench on wire diameters lessthan .148 in. (.37 cm)• Check tension: the heavy end of a

screwdriver or hammer should bounceeasily on the screen mediaNone of these tips mean anything if

the screen box is faulty. Placing screenmedia in an inadequate screen box willalmost certainly result in prematurefailure. Before installing screen media,make sure the unit passes inspection.

Do Not Install:• If crown bar supports do not create

a consistent crown curve• If crown bars are worn or bent• If screen media is too flat — lack-

ing a proper crown curve • If screen media does not fit tight

against all crown bar supports• If polyurethane strips do not line up

perfectly on all crown bar supports• Check for use of “J” bolts (these

indicate a problem with the crown whichmust be fixed)

Do the String TestNew crown bar rubber should be installed

Improper installation can lead to premature wirebreakage.

Make sure crown bar rubber is not missing, damagedor worn.

Ensure all bolts are present.

turing operation in Tianjin to supplement itscurrent Qinhuangdao plant. “Our new facility in Tianjin gives us an

additional 10,905 cubic meters including1,650 cubic meters of office accommoda-tion,” said Andy Lewis, vice president —

international. “Our new building in Tianjin will be ideal

for building our Hydroflow fluid filtrationequipment, suspended magnets, recyclingproducts as well as some of our other largepieces of equipment,” said Lewis.Eriez-India is moving to a new factory

facility located on Vanagaram-AmbatturRoad, near Ambattur industrial estate inChennai, which is one of the largest indus-trial estates in Asia. “This facility has two factory buildings

measuring 25,600 square feet with an arrayof sophisticated cranes as well as weldingand rolling machines and more,” Lewissaid. The new space will enable Eriez-India to

manufacture Eriez products to the highestquality standards, while offering fasterdelivery. “In addition to the factory buildings, this

facility also has an office lab building meas-uring 8,700 square feet. This lab has thefacility to test both dry and wet type samplesfor our customers using high quality pilottesting equipment manufactured by Eriez,”Lewis said.

According to Lewis, both these buildingsare under construction now and Eriez-Indiais planning to shift to this facility inSeptember 2011.“While other companies are struggling,

Eriez is thriving,” said Shuttleworth. “Webelieve that innovation, coupled with greatcustomer service, is vital to maintaining oursuccess. Therefore, it’s more important thanever for us to continue to introduce newtechnologies that help our customers main-tain efficiency and increase their profits,while offering the world-class support ourcustomers deserve.” Eriez is recognized as world authority in

advanced technology for separation, vibra-tory and inspection applications. The com-pany’s separation, metal detection, x-ray,materials feeding, screening, conveying andcontrolling equipment have application inthe process, metalworking, packaging, recy-cling, mining, aggregate and textile indus-tries.

Radial Travel Tracks Option Delivers Radial Stockpiling

Superior Industries has a new conveyormobility option — radial travel tracks. Whenapplied with the TeleStacker conveyor, thenew option allows high-capacity radialstockpiling in applications, such as low pres-sure soils, sand or wet clay, where maximumflotation and traction is required. Radial travel tracks are highly suitable and

cost-effective mobility options for gold andcopper heap leach operations particularly.When combined with the new track-mount-ed mobile pivot base, producers realize anincrease in mobility with the combination offree-ranging onsite and transfer point mobil-ity, as well as radial travel capability — allwhile reducing the need for haul trucks andloaders, and additional labor and materialhandling, according to the manufacturer.Engineered for easy, simple bolt-on instal-

lation, the radial travel tracks option can be

retrofitted onto existing conveyors in theequipment fleet; and can provide the versa-tility for site to site operation no matter whatthe soil conditions. Consisting of two 24-in. (61 cm) steel

tracks on each side of the conveyor,Superior’s radial travel tracks attach directlyto the FD axle radial fold-down arms, andare easy to remove for road portability. Thesystem is designed to reuse existing plane-tary drives and is equipped with hydraulichoses and fitting connections.Superior Industries also offers non-pow-

ered travel tracks for use on short stackers,jump or grasshopper conveyors. The tracks can be bolted on right over the

standard tire hub when flotation and tractionis needed.For more information, visit

Avoiding Premature ScreenMedia Failure — Here’s Howwith each new set of Flex-Mat-type screen media. Tosee if you have installed itcorrectly, perform the stringtest. First, run a string fromsideplate to sideplate overthe crown bars and pull thestring tight. Next, check forgaps between the string andthe crown bars to see if thescreen media will sit onthem properly. If there aregaps, then the height of thecrown bars must be correct-ed or breakage will occur.

Woven Wire Before You Install:• Look for significant

damage to crown bars andscreen decks• Inspect the crown bar

rubber for damage and wear(replace if necessary)• Ensure the crown bar

rubber is the same type andheight and covers all of thecrown rails• Make sure side clamp

rails are not worn thin, bentor have curves or “dimples”where the clamp rail boltscome through• Ensure the side clamp

rails equal the length of thescreen media or they willcause uneven tensioning• Check crown bar height

by doing the string test• Remove all material

build-up from the hookledge on the pan side of the screen boxand/or the crown bar rubber

For Proper Installation:• Make sure the screen media has the cor-

rect outside and inside hook width for thedeck• Ensure that the ends of the screen

media panels fit together tightly to preventthe passing of oversize material• Make sure the lengths of all screen

media “tail ends” don’t exceed more than50 percent of the opening size where theymeet• Side-tension screen boxes: position the

screen media so clearance from the pan side

to the hook is even on both sides • Tension your screen media by tighten-

ing the bolts intermittently from both sides • Once installed, make sure all screen

media is seated properly on all crown bartops and the side clamp rails match thelength of the screen media

Conduct Habitual InspectionsOnce you have properly installed the

screen media, conduct daily inspectionsbefore startup and after shutdown. Makesure that the screen media and screen boxesare free of unnecessary wear, breakage ordamage. Catching problems ahead of timecan save costly fixes later.

Properly tensioned Flex-Mat-type screen media.

Access to Data Spurs Today’s Construction Market SuccessBy Jeff WinkeSPECIAL TO CEG

In the early 1960s, and then in the mid-1980s, there was a TV show that portrayed afuture with incredible technology that savedtime, made life easy and gave the charactersaccess to incredible amounts of information. Those hallmarks of the Jetsons’ incredible

future are playing out today (without thenasty Cosmo Spacely, owner of SpacelySprockets, barking at us). Technology inno-vations are here and available to the con-struction market. Think about it, at this moment, a con-

struction company owner with a laptop com-puter is sitting in an American office build-ing. At his fingertips, he has real-time accessto machine and site information. Oil pres-sure, idle time, fuel usage, maintenancerecords ... even an in-cab view of the job site,are all available. It could be a motor graderin South Africa, dozers in China, Peru, andRussia, or an excavator working two blocksaway. With GNSS positioning technologyand sophisticated software utilized in aremote asset management system, such asTopcon Tierra — a web-based communica-tion tool — a contractor can literally keeptabs on machines, sites and personnel.It is not too dramatic to say that remote

asset management systems can change theconstruction contractor’s business model.Remote asset management or telematics —the sending and receiving of information viatelecommunications — has increased anddispersed the notion of control. Machineoperators have greater control over the per-formance of their machine and the assignedtask. Site superintendents have greater con-trol over the project with the data theyreceive in the job trailer or on their laptop sit-ting on the seat of their pick-up. And thehome-office manager, no matter where thehome office is located on the globe, hasinformation about all the job sites and howthings are progressing. “The art and science of telematics is

changing, for the better, the way construc-tion companies do business — from biddingthrough job completion,” said Mark Bittner,senior vice president of the TelematicsBusiness Unit, Topcon Positioning Systems.“Our Tierra system takes information avail-able from any piece of machinery — regard-less of age, make or model, analog or digital— and sets up two-way communications,transmitting data about the tracking or oper-ation of the vehicle, plus behavioral aspectsof the machines.”

How Does It Work?The Topcon Tierra remote asset manage-

ment system has three components: 1. Its hardware is the communications

device installed on the machine.

2. The service plan enables the featuresneeded and configures how often the unitcommunicates. The system can be config-ured to the user’s specifications.3. TierraWeb is the internet-based user

interface, which is where the user configuresalerts and generates reports.Topcon Positioning Systems joined with

Divitech, a telematics solution providerbased in Turin, Italy, to create the joint ven-ture company, Tierra S.p.A. Divitech is anexperienced software development andmanagement company with a globalfootprint providing analysis, design,realization and installation of fleetmanagement systems, as well asvalue-added web based solutions.The joint venture created the Tierrasystem, which is at the heart ofTopcon’s telematic offering for theconstruction market.A job site management system is

designed to empower constructioncontractors, so that informed deci-sions are based on current informa-tion. “Tierra eliminates slow, inaccu-

rate, and labor-intensive data gather-ing,” Bittner said. “It sifts through all that data and

provides immediate alerts and usefulreports, which allows managers tofocus on important items that aretimely, with minimal effort and max-imum positive results.”Some of the specific areas that the

Tierra job site management systemare designed to address includeimprovements in security, mainte-nance, utilization and job costing.

Security ImprovedWith respect to security, the sys-

tem offers:• Geofence— A geofence is a vir-

tual fence drawn on Topcon Tierra’sGoogle map interface. The geofencecan be up to a 30-point polygon. The systemcan be set up to text message and/or emailmanagers whenever a machine is leaving orentering a geofenced area. When a machinemoves outside or inside its specific bound-aries, it can be tracked for recover.Additionally, the security feature has amotion sensor and internal backup battery,allowing detection and reporting on unau-thorized machine movement, even if themachine is turned off and/or on a trailer.• Lost Machines — Sometimes contrac-

tors can have several active job sites occur-ring at once. It can be difficult to keep trackof equipment being moved between jobsites. Machines can turn up MIA — missingin action. “Tierra users can locate their machines at

the touch of a button, rather than eating uppayroll and gas with employees out on asearch-and-rescue mission,” Bittner said.• Curfew — Curfew is typically used to

alert managers of unauthorized machine use.Tierra is configured to provide a text mes-sage and/or email alert when a machine isrunning outside of a customer’s normalhours of operation. • Remote Anti-Start — With remote

anti-start, Topcon Tierra can be used to pre-vent thieves from driving unattended

machines onto a transport, or off a job site atany time, day or night. A manager canremotely re-enable the machine if a servicecrew requires after-hours access.

In Tune MaintenanceWith a remote asset management system,

the software can be configured to automati-cally monitor engine hours and send out analert when machines are due for mainte-nance. This feature is designed to reduce thechance of machines failing and it may alsodiminish the likelihood of warranty claimrejections. Contractors are said to be able to maintain

machines within a much tighter window ofthe specified service intervals. And a bonus— service technicians will no longer have to

search for the machines they’ve been sentout to service. Not only will the service technician bene-

fit from the job site management system’sability to locate equipment, wherever it is,but contractors are expected to have a bettersense of when equipment is not being used,so it can be redeployed to a more appropri-ate job site. “With Topcon Tierra, users are able to

remotely pull up a report in about 30 secondsthat can show, for instance, all of the back-

hoes with less than three hours runtime in the past week. Having thatlevel of detail can help contractorscontrol equipment rental expensessince they have real time informa-tion on machine usage,” said Bittner.

Improve Job CostingMost contractors gather machine

run time data for costing out jobs.The data-gathering process can beexpensive, labor intensive, subject toclerical errors, and even more likely,guessing at numbers when in a time-crunch situation. With a telematicssystem, such as Tierra, this type ofinformation can be provided dailyand reports are available with a fewsimple keystrokes. In addition, withintegration into contractor software,the cost of human data entry can beminimized. Some users even config-ure geofences so that a machinesends an alert when it arrives on thejob site. This can trigger the internalmachine billing to begin for that jobsite.Construction contractors are

always searching for that competi-tive edge. Years ago, the traditionalthinking was to buckle down andwork harder. The contractors whostarted earlier and worked laterseemed to do better. In today’s mar-

ket, especially with the economic downturn,companies are seeing technology as a way tohelp them be more productive and prof-itable. “The global recession has been sobering,

but we’re finding that in periods of econom-ic instability, smart companies focus on twocritical areas for viability: short-term actionsto hold down expenses wherever practicaland a long-term commitment to growth bypushing the development and introduction oftechnologies, such as telematics,” Bittnersaid. “Those actions are what sets progres-sive companies apart from those that arestagnating or moving backward.”

Two Types of Suspension Availableon Terex’s Compact Track LoadersTerex compact track loader undercar-

riages feature two types of suspension:single level or dual level. On single levelsuspended undercarriages, the entireundercarriage is suspended from the chas-sis of the machine by torsion axles. Thesetorsion axles are independent, so there arefour suspension points connecting thechassis to the undercarriage. This createsa smooth ride, and takes away much ofthe vibration and shock associated withrunning over rocks, curbs, and otherrough terrain, according to the manufac-turer.On dual level suspended undercar-

riages the same suspension system is usedas on the single level, but a second level isadded. This second level allows the bogiewheels of the machine to flex as well, cre-ating enhanced ride comfort and traction. All Terex compact track loaders use

undercarriage technology with suspen-sion that maximizes traction and flotationwhile giving operators the most comfort-able ride possible.Terex Posi-Track undercarriage tech-

nology relies on more than 25 years oftechnology that provides performanceand durability by using modern tracktechnology and components used andproven in much larger equipment, such asmetal faced seals. Terex offers three different track

options for its undercarriages. The stan-dard track on all Terex CTLs is the gener-al purpose track. The general purposetrack features a moderate tread patternthat the company recommends for use inthe widest range of applications, from wet,soft ground to working on soft, delicatelandscaping, to operations on pavement orasphalt. These tracks are made of a special rubber compoundthat is tough, durable and relatively lightweight when com-pared to steel-imbed tracks used on other machines. Trackswith less weight give Terex machines the ability to travelfaster and offer better performance than other commonly-used tracks, according to the manufacturer. Terex also offers a special turf track on select models. Turf

tracks are ideal for landscapers and anybody working overfragile or improved surfaces. They feature a special smoothtread that allows Terex CTLs to maneuver on virtually anysurface with barely a trace. Scuffing and rutting is practical-ly eliminated, even when used in sharp turns. Terex recom-mends its turf tracks for applications where the surface needsspecial protection and the conditions are generally dry. Manylandscape construction contractors use Terex turf tracksthroughout much of their work season, whether on dirt orturf. Users of Terex mid-sized CTLs have the option of outfit-

ting their machine with a specialized track option thatimproves machine performance in the most extreme ground

conditions. These extreme terrain tracks are wider and fea-ture more aggressive treads to give users added traction forworking through the most difficult conditions with betterresults than ever before. The new extreme terrain tracks givemachine users yet another option for even higher perform-ance in difficult ground conditions. Terex extreme terrain tracks measure 16.5 in. (42 cm)

wide, spreading the machine weight even more than stan-dard tracks that measure 15 in. (38 cm) wide. This lowers theground pressure of machines equipped with extreme terraintracks by 10 percent. Lower ground pressure translates intohigher flotation for better operation in soft conditions. These special tracks also have a noticeably deeper tread

pattern that gives them more traction in soft, wet conditionsand wider spacing between tread lugs makes them self-cleaning. As a result, they remain free of packed material andthe treads are more effective, even in sticky, cohesive mate-rials. Because these tracks are designed for use in special,extreme and soft ground conditions, Terex does not recom-mend them for use on normal, dry or firm ground conditions.

Terex compact track loader undercarriages feature two types ofsuspension: single level or dual level.

Replacing Pins, Pistols Gives 60-Year-Old Bridge New LifeThe bridge will remain in use during the

work, but four lanes of traffic will bereduced to two lanes at times. During the pinreplacement phase, Topcor Services willclose one lane of traffic in each direction,place shoring I-beams over each girder andtie them to the structure as it is worked on.The 4-in. pins will be removed, and the

hole will be enlarged using custom-builtdrills. A new 4.5-in. pin will be inserted afterthe drill frame is removed.The final step will be to insert new .875-

in. (2.2 cm), A325 structural bolts in the pinplate connections, Bernier said.“We will install I beams over the girders

in one lane of the road surface so traffic canbe maintained,” Bernier said. “Once theshoring beams are installed we can takeapart the current structural connections.”MH Precision in St. Louis, he said,

designed and built two custom-made drillsfor the hole-widening work. “The drills mount directly to the bolt pat-

tern, and accurately place the cutting headdead center of the existing four-inch holes,”he said.Two-thirds of the long, cantilever bridge

— it is about 1.25 mi. (2 km) in length — isabove land. The other third spans the slow-moving waters of the Calcasieu. It is a 135-ft. (41 m) drop from the bridge to the water.Workers scraping rust often rely on per-

sonnel lifts and suspended man-baskets,which hang from the bridge. Work is easierin the areas where the bridge is above land— personnel lifts are placed below a repairarea.But this work has been complicated

because some of these areas are wetlands, soextra measures have been taken to complywith environmental regulations, said KristiSanford, a consultant and project engineer atECM, a Metering, La.-based company thatprovides construction management services.The Louisiana Department of Transportation& Development hired ECM to serve as proj-ect monitor.Managers sometimes have difficulty find-

ing spots in the wetlands where they can sit-uate their equipment, Sanford said.Topcor brought in two of its own person-

nel lifts, a Genie 60 and Genie 80, Berniersaid. It also has rented about eight personnel

lifts from RSC Equipment Rental inLouisiana.Suspended baskets were rented from Max

Access in Houston.Air compressors and rivet busters were

among the tools also needed for the job. “It’s just regular, old construction equip-

ment,” Bernier said. “It’s a neat little job, but

there’s not a lot of specialty equipment withthe exception of the drills.”Barges are used while working on the

bridge above the water. A platform has beenbuilt below the part of the bridge that isabove water, allowing workers to scrape rustand paint without fear of falling in, Sanfordsaid.Eighteen wheelers and other traffic roar

overhead as painters and workers go abouttheir tasks. Bernier said, “It’s not a quietbridge, that’s for sure.”The bridge will be painted nickel, its color

when it was built six decades ago. “I don’tthink that it’s ever been fully blasted andpainted,” Bernier said.Construction of the bridge began in 1948.

It opened in September 1951, but work wasnot completed until the next year.The bridge was part of U.S. 90 and only

later was incorporated into the interstate sys-tem when I-10 opened.It was named the World War II Memorial

Bridge. But there had been earlier discus-sions about naming it after Jean Laffite, thelegendary pirate who fought with distinction

for the United States during the War of 1812.He and his band of privateers distinguishedthemselves during the Battle of NewOrleans. Legend has it that some of Laffite’streasure is buried in the Lake Charles area.To honor Laffite and his band of priva-

teers, the bridge’s handrails were decoratedwith 5,000 pairs of crossed dueling pistols,Sanford said. Many locals refer to the spanas “the Pistol Bridge,” Bernier said.More than 100 pistols will be replaced or

relocated from damaged handrail to newhandrail sections, and 37 pistols are missingfrom other sections of handrail. Some pistolswere knocked off the handrail during acci-dents while others were stolen, Bernier said.“Some had been cut off by somebody,” he

said. “The pistols are really cool. Everybodywants a set.”Topcor Services sent a set of original pis-

tols to Bama Foundry in Montgomery, Ala.The foundry created a mold and is castingnew pistols that will be identical to the orig-inals, and these will replace missing ones,Bernier said.Sanford said the project appears like it

will be completed in April. But Steve Jiles,who is overseeing the project as District No.7 administrator for the La. DOTD, said thepace of work will be picking up, and crewsare working seven days a week. He said heanticipates that the project will be finishedby Feb. 12.Long-term plans of the La. DOTD call for

the bridge to be replaced by a new bridge inthe coming years, Jiles said. Sanford saidLouisiana could build this new bridge with-in five to 10 years.“The bridge is safe, but it is too narrow

according to modern highway standards,”Bernier said. “And it is too steep on itsapproaches.”What will happen to the bridge if a new

bridge is built is unknown, he said.For more information visit,

Two Topcor Services employees work on the 60-year-oldbridge spanning the Calcasieu River. It will be spot cleanedand painted, anchor bolts and handrails will be repaired,road surface joints will be installed and resealed, damagedrivets will be replaced and missing dueling pistols that adornthe handrail will be replaced.

Topcor Services is replacing pins on 48 girders while repair-ing the I-10 bridge over the Calcasieu River in southwestLouisiana. Four-in. (10.2 cm) pins will be replaced by 4.5-in.(11.4 cm) pins. Two custom drills made by MH Precision in St.Louis will be used to enlarge holes so that they will fit the big-ger pins. The drills mount directly to the bolt pattern andplace the cutting head dead center of existing 4-in. holes.

Deere 4Q Profit Up 46 Percent on Strong SalesBy Josh FunkAP BUSINESS WRITER

Deere & Co. said strong sales ofits farm equipment helped boost itsfourth-quarter profit by 46 percentand said it expects robust demandwill lead to further growth next year. The quarterly results beat Wall

Street expectations, and Deereshares rose more than 3 percent inafternoon trading. The Moline, Ill., company said

Nov. 23 that equipment sales wereup 20 percent in the quarter. Thatincluded 14 percent sales growth inthe United States and Canada, and31 percent growth in the rest of theworld outside those two countries. The sales growth helped Deere

generate net income of $670 million,or $1.62 per share, for the threemonths ended Oct. 31, up from $457million, or $1.07 per share, a yearago. Revenue grew 20 percent to $8.6

billion from $7.2 billion a year ago.Both sales volume and equipmentprices increased. Analysts surveyed by FactSet

expected earnings of $1.43 per shareon revenue of $7.91 billion. Deere said equipment sales will

increase about 15 percent in fiscal2012 and profit will grow to $3.2 bil-lion from $2.8 billion in fiscal 2011. “We are proud of the company’s

performance in 2011 and look for-ward to building on these gains in2012 and beyond,” Chairman andCEO Samuel Allen said in a state-ment. “We have great confidence inthe company’s future and our role inhelping feed, clothe and shelter theworld’s growing population.” Deere’s report offers an indication

of how well farmers worldwide aredoing because the company is theworld’s largest maker of agriculturalequipment. Deere said it expectsfarmers to have another good year in2012 because the demand for agri-cultural commodities remainsstrong. Deere said it expects net U.S.

farm income will decline slightlyfrom 2011’s projected $115.7 billionto roughly $109.2 billion in 2012. “I think overall they are betting on

a strong farm economy,” EdwardJones analyst Jeff Windau said.

Rising steel and administrativecosts may be a bit of a concern forinvestors, Windau said, but Deere’srecent results have been great. “It’s an outstanding quarter and a

great forecast,” Windau said. Deere has been rolling out new

products throughout 2011 to complywith new federal pollution regula-tions. As part of that, Deere hasincreased prices for most of itsequipment, but its R&D costs havealso risen considerably. Credit Suisse analyst Jamie Cook

said in a research note that’s it’s hardto criticize Deere’s fourth-quarterperformance, and the company’sprofit outlook for 2012 is more opti-mistic than expected. During the fourth quarter, about

41 percent of Deere’s net sales camefrom outside the United States andCanada. To help meet the growing

demand, Deere announced plans in2011 to build new manufacturingplants in Brazil, China and India tobetter serve customers in those coun-tries as well as expansion projects atseveral of its existing plants. Deere’s total employment has

grown about 10 percent over the pastyear. Just over half of Deere’s61,000 employees are based in theUnited States. Spokesman KenGolden said the number of U.S. jobsis up about 9 percent in 2011 whilejobs outside America have grown byabout 11 percent. Jefferies & Co. analyst Stephen

Volkmann told clients that Deere’sguidance for fiscal 2012 is moreoptimistic overall. He said the out-look includes a $500 millionincrease in raw material costs and a10 percent increase in research anddevelopment expenses. For all of Deere’s fiscal 2011, the

company reported net income of$2.8 billion, or $6.63 per share.That’s 50 percent higher than theprevious year’s $1.87 billion, or$4.35 per share. In addition to agricultural equip-

ment, Deere makes construction andforestry equipment, such as back-hoes, excavators, riding mowers andleaf blowers. But construction andforestry sales represent a small por-tion of Deere’s business compared toits agricultural equipment.

maintain the value of their equip-ment over a period of years is

proven. It was a large financial leapback in 2001 and I know the cost isthe biggest hurdle for local govern-ments, but many Public WorksDirectors and equipment operatorsenvy our position now. I’m defi-nitely a strong advocate of thislease agreement plan,” Whalensaid. Additionally, the South Carolina

Association of Counties featuresthe competitive J. MitchellGraham Memorial award that theyoffer every year recognizing coun-

ties for innovative and unique proj-ects that are a benefit to the com-munity technologically or finan-cially, which, Whalen mentioned,Orangeburg County won for thefirst time ever in 2003 thanks inpart to their relationship withBlanchard and Caterpillar. Another key ingredient to this

partnership is communication. Theopen line of communication

between Orangeburg County andBlanchard also has been beneficialto Caterpillar. Using the countyoperator experience on themachine, Orangeburg County isalways providing feedback toBlanchard. If something comes upthat isn’t just an anomaly,Blanchard will share that with Cat,which in turn helps them in mak-ing modifications to the machines. “From the leadership of our

County Council and CountyAdministrator in comprehendingthe advantages of this lease plancombined with a group of dedicat-ed equipment operators that appre-ciate being outfitted with the latestand best heavy equipment technol-ogy we are progressively preparingour community for the long roadahead. Our equipment operatorsare awesome, working hard everyday to make our roads better andsafer,” Whelan concluded.

BusinessCalendarGehl’s RS5-19 Sports NewInterim Tier IV Engine

Gehl’s RS5-19 telescopic handler has hadan engine upgrade. The EPA certifiedInterim Tier IV Yanmar 68 hp (50.7 kW) nat-urally-aspirated engine provides the powerneeded for demanding job sites, while pro-viding reduced fuel consumption, accordingto the manufacturer.The upgraded Interim Tier IV engine

meets the latest emissions standards. The Gehl RS5-19 is designed with a com-

pact frame and tight turning radius of 11 ft.(3.35 m), allowing it to maneuver in lowbuildings and confined job sites. The RS5-19is a low-profile machine with an overallheight of 6 ft. 4 in. (1.93 m), for operating inbuildings, under parking garages and in con-fined areas. The boom reaches to a height of19 ft. 1 in. (5.8 m) and features the samewelded box-section design that is on theGehl Dynalift telescopic handlers.The RS5-19 telescopic handler was

designed to meet the growing needs of con-tractors, builders and rental firms for a 5,500lb. (2,495 kg) lift capacity machine. All thefeatures and benefits of the Gehl RS Seriesand DL Series telescopic handlers are incor-porated in the RS5-19 telescopic handler. Internal wet disc service brakes are stan-

dard equipment, for better stopping capabil-ity and longer life, along with a SAHR(spring-applied, hydraulic-release) parkingbrake, which is automatically applied whenthe engine is shut off, or manually engagedby pressing a rocker switch. This designeliminates the cable stretch and adjustmentsassociated with many other telescopic han-

dlers.The view from the ROPS/FOPS canopy is

a full 360 degrees. An enclosed cab isoptional with front and top windows, a doorand a heater/defroster for use in areas whereoperators need protection from the weather.Optional air-conditioning also is availablefor further climate control.Two direct mechanical joystick controls

for boom and fork tilt functions are standard.They are easy to reach and smooth to oper-ate, optimizing operator precision and pro-ductivity. A deluxe suspension seat is option-al. A work light package can be added to fur-ther increase the productivity of thismachine.Engine accessibility is made simple with a

large, hinged hood on the side of themachine. The hood lifts fully out of the way,allowing plenty of room to access mainte-nance points, including the battery and oilfill. Underneath the unit Gehl has added abolted belly pan to protect all engine andhydraulic components. A hinged access doorprovides easy access to the engine oil drain.Hydraulic flow is up to 22 gpm (83 Lpm).

Optional auxiliary lines are available topower a variety of available attachments,including, truss booms, jib booms, bucketsand multiple types of carriages and forks.The Dynattach quick-attach system allowsquick attachment changes. The hydraulichoses are routed inside the boom protectingthem from job site hazards.For more information, call 800/628-0491

Local Factors Play Large Rolecent, 5,500 jobs), followed by D.C. (4.8 per-cent, 500 jobs). Texas added the largest num-ber of jobs (17,500, 3.1 percent), closely fol-lowed by California (17,100, 3.1 percent).Among the 25 states that shed construc-

tion jobs over the past 12 months, Georgiaexperienced the steepest decline in percent-age and total (minus 9.5 percent, minus13,800 jobs). New Mexico was second-worst in percentage terms (minus 9.2 per-cent, minus 4,100 jobs), followed byWisconsin (minus 8.6 percent, minus 8,100jobs). Florida had the second-highest num-ber of job losses (minus 11,600, minus 3.4percent). Arkansas had no change in con-struction employment over the year.Seasonally adjusted construction employ-

ment climbed from September to October in25 states plus D.C., led in percentage gainsby Delaware (5.5 percent, 1,000 jobs),Vermont (3.8 percent, 500 jobs) and Utah(also 3.8 percent, 2,500 jobs). New Yorkadded the largest number of constructionjobs for the month (3,400 jobs, 1.1 percent),followed by Virginia (2,800 jobs, 1.6 per-cent) and Utah.Of the 23 states that lost construction jobs

from September to October, Nevada had thelargest one-month percentage drop (minus4.6 percent, minus 2,600 jobs), with

Alabama next (minus 3.2 percent, minus2,700 jobs), followed by Michigan (minus3.0 percent, minus 3,900 jobs). Texas lost thelargest number of construction jobs for themonth (minus 12,800 jobs, minus 2.1 per-cent), followed by Florida (minus 4,800jobs, minus 1.5 percent) and Michigan.South Dakota and Wyoming had no changein monthly construction employment, whilePennsylvania lost a statistically insignificant100 jobs (less than 0.1 percent).Association officials said the failure of the

congressional “super committee” chargedwith reaching a deal to cut the U.S. deficithas the potential to undermine constructionemployment. They noted that the mandatoryfederal spending reductions that are nowscheduled to go in place in the absence of adeal would likely cut needed investments invital infrastructure projects across the coun-try.“Allowing water, transportation and ener-

gy networks to deteriorate will hurt con-struction employment and force taxpayers tospend more later, to fix broken infrastruc-ture,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the associa-tion’s chief executive officer. “Neglectingthe fundamental systems needed to supportour economy and quality of life is no way tobalance the budget or boost employment.”

JCB Adds to Its Next Generation Skid Steers, CTL LineupJCB has added the 225 wheeled skid steer

and the 225T compact track loader to its line ofNew Generation skid steer and compact trackloaders. The nine current New Generation machines

are the first to be designed, engineered andmanufactured at JCB’s North American head-quarters in Savannah, Ga. John Patterson,deputy chairman of JCB, explained the impor-tance of building upon the success of the NewGeneration product line. “Developing and producing this line in

Savannah has allowed us to understand theunique needs of our North American cus-tomers — customers who are responsible for60 percent of the total demand for skid steerand compact track loaders,” Patterson said.“However, we’re not only manufacturingmachines that appeal to the North Americanmarket. By including features that every oper-ator can appreciate, we’ve been able to pro-duce machines with worldwide appeal.”While the seven models introduced last

November — the 260, 280, 300 and 330wheeled skid steers and 260T, 300T, 320Tcompact track loaders — were vertical liftmachines, the new 225 and 225T feature radi-al lift. This means that maximum reach isachieved in the middle of the machine’s reachcycle rather than at its highest point. Both the 225 and 225T have rated operating

capacities (ROC) of 2,250 lbs. (1,020 kg).These two new models complete the large plat-form segment of JCB’s New Generation range.After JCB has introduced all 18 new machines,the company will offer a complete range ofwheeled and tracked machines, both radial andvertical lift, ranging from 1,300 to 3,500 lbs.(589 to 1,587 kg).The 225 and 225T feature all of the same

features introduced with the seven other NewGeneration skid steer and track loader models:• Tilting cab with increased service access • Multifunction joysticks • Hydraulic quick hitch • Isolated cab that is sealed and pressurized with reduced

noise levels • Heated air-suspension seat with adjustable armrests • O-ring face seals for all hydraulic connections • Compatibility with a new range of more than 30 types of

JCB attachments

VisibilityBoth the vertical and radial lift machines showcase JCB’s

“PowerBoom” design, which uses a single arm, rather thanthe conventional twin arm skid steer design. The JCB mod-els do not require a torque tube across the back of themachine, giving operators an unobstructed rear view andbetter all around visibility for greater safety and confidencearound the jobsite. To further enhance visibility JCB haseliminated the mesh screen on the cab machines andreplaced it with laminated glass.

Serviceability With O-ring face seal hydraulic fittings and a simplified

design resulting in 38 percent fewer parts, JCB’s NewGeneration machines are easier to service, according to themanufacturer. Technicians will appreciate the improved access to the

power train and hydraulic components made possible by themachine’s tilting cab. The new models also feature a rearservice door for easy access to the engine and daily check-points, a top-opening hood with a hinged radiator forimproved engine access.

Operator Comfort The New Generation machines have a larger entry door

and a 17-percent larger cab than previous generation models.JCB also has introduced multifunction joystick controls andan optional heated air-suspension seat with adjustable arm-rests, making these machines comfortable to operate.Redesigned control panels have been relocated from thelower console to the panels at the top of the cab to be withinthe operator’s line of sight. Other available creature comfortsinclude cup holders, MP3 player compartment with chargingoutlet, optional stereo package and an electronic throttle.Operators also will enjoy a quieter cab with noise levels at avery low 76dBa, an 85-percent improvement.

Versatility and Performance. Switching to any of the machine’s 30 attachment families

is a snap due to a standard universal mechanical hitch or anoptional hydraulic quick hitch. Parallel lift and 2-speedoptions make it easy to maneuver around the job site andcomplete more tasks in less time, and with the introductionof an optional smooth ride system (SRS) transporting mate-rials over rough terrain has been made easier.As in previous models, the New Generation skid steer and

compact track loaders feature a unique left side entry doorthat allows the operator to enter and exit the machine clear ofthe attachment and loader arm. “At JCB, we pride ourselves on innovation,” Patterson

said. “We demonstrated that innovative spirit when we intro-duced the industry’s first single-arm, or ‘monoboom,’ skidsteer back in 1993. We saw it as a safer, more intelligentapproach to skid steer design that embodied simple commonsense. With the latest enhancements we’ve made to our NewGeneration skid steers and compact track loaders, we’reonce again taking performance, productivity and safety to anew level.”For more information, call 912/447-2000 or visit

Both the 225 and 225T have rated operating capacities of 2,250 lbs. (1,020 kg). These two new models complete the largeplatform segment of JCB’s New Generation range.
