Indexator Rototilt Sys-tems changed its name to Rototilt, short and sweet. Behind this apparently undramatic change lies a larger, long-term decision about continued product development and a deter-mined marketing initiative in North America and Eu-rope.

“We see enormous growth potential in places like North America and central Europe where tilt rotators are still not used to the same extent as in Scandinavia, but where de-velopments are beginning to pick up speed,” CEO An-ders Jonsson tells us.

The challenge in the “new markets” lies in ex-plaining the concept of Ro-totilt® and how it turns an excavator in to a very effi-cient tool carrier. The key to success for Rototilt lies in a well-established founda-tion in the Nordic countries (90% of all excavators up to 30 tonnes are equipped with a tilt rotator) togeth-er with established sales

channels and an increased interest from end users and equipment suppliers on the new markets.

Rototilt’s investment in modular production – which allows the customer to determine how the tilt rotator should be config-ured – will also be a signifi-cant success factor here:

The international mar-ket is not homogeneous. Needs differ greatly from country to country and from contractor to con-tractor; thus in the future, all the major manufactur-ers will need to offer cus-tomized tilt rotator solu-tions, but Rototilt® already provides this freedom of choice today.

The investment is also good news for the town of Vindeln in northern Swe-den. In order to manage the company’s continued expansion and growing market share, it is now making a number of strate-gic personnel recruitments. The head office and all product development will

continue to be located in Vindeln, Västerbotten, in northern Sweden.

“Rototilt® is the world’s leading tilt rotator today as a result of our person-nel’s hard work and single-minded efforts. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together and convinced that we have the right team line-up here in Sweden and our new International mar-kets as we take the next step in our development”.

The name change is also a natural development of the ownership changes in Indexator companies effec-tive as of October 1st, 2014. CEO Anders Jonsson has now focused his ownership and commitment on Roto-tilt while sister company Indexator Rotator Systems is now owned by Hans and Pia Jonsson together with Åke Karlsson. b

The medium sized, one or two-boom Boomer M-series drill rigs from Atlas Copco have been favourite workhorses for many years in underground mining and tunnelling. Now they have become more useful and efficient than ever.

During a major upgrade, the Boomer M-series rigs have been “reloaded” with a range of enhancements that make them stronger, cleaner, safer and easier to operate.

Johan Jonsson, Product Manager, explains: “The use of contractors in the mining industry is becom-ing increasingly common and these companies have told us they need extremely robust drill rigs for drilling in tougher environments, and preferably rigs that can be used for more than one application. In response, we have further developed the new Boomer M-series.

These rigs are now much stronger and more power-ful and can be used for face drilling as well as rock bolt-ing.”

Jonsson points out that the rigs have been “re-loaded” with a range of de-sign improvements. These include stronger booms, a new filtration system, increased safety features and Atlas Copco’s award winning rig control system. In field trials in Australia these enhancements have returned top ratings for productivity, longer service intervals and lower operat-ing costs.

The new, stronger BUT 36S booms provide steadi-er articulation and faster, more accurate positioning. They also incorporate sev-eral new design features that help to extend the service intervals. The new filtration system keeps lu-brication air and hydraulic

oil free from water and fine particles. This improves the quality of the air and the oil, which, in turn, pro-longs the life of the hydrau-lic components and the rock drills.

These rigs also offer increased safety for the operator. For example, the BUT 36S boom’s Safe Bolting configuration makes it possible to swing the feed all the way back to the cabin so that the operator can load it with bolts while standing on platforms on either side of the rig. This eliminates the need to work in front of the machine under un-supported roofs, substan-tially reducing the risk of injury from rockfall. For added safety, the spacious and comfortable cabin is now ROPS/FOPS certi-fied.

The reloaded M-series rigs are equipped with COP 1838HD+ rock drills and come with a robust hydraulic control system or, as an option, with the award-winning, new gen-eration Atlas Copco Rig Control System, RCS 5. b

Professor Josef Kurfess from Ulm University in Germany outlines why hy-draulic systems still have an important part to play in the industrial world of today and tomorrow.

Over the past 40 years, hydraulic systems have been continually deemed a dying technology – if not pronounced dead altogeth-er. And these views don’t seem all that farfetched in light of the on-going energy efficiency debate and the apparent cure-all: electric drive systems. Perhaps the “dinosaurs of drive tech-nology” are truly at an end. Yet they keep coming back and are more sustain-

able than ever – all thanks to consistent, systematic thinking.

Hydraulics form the core technology behind many industrial companies and many of the applica-tions we see in our daily lives. Whether it’s at home or at work, whether it’s in mobile or stationary appli-cations: Life as we know it wouldn’t be possible without hydraulic systems. Sluices wouldn’t open or close properly, construc-tion vehicles wouldn’t function correctly, cable cars wouldn’t run, and most machines would no longer manufacture things. In the same vein, no the-

atre stage would rotate, no harvesting machine would work quickly and precisely, and trucks couldn’t unload their goods. Personal and professional life would be-come a lot less convenient.

Many developments spell optimization that said, there have been many at-tempts over the past 40 years to replace hydraulic systems with other tech-nologies. That’s because, apart from their undisputed advantages, hydraulic sys-tems and applications were considered coarse, clumsy, and only really of any use in rough industrial settings. They were also deemed in-efficient energy hogs prone

to leakages. In recent years, the energy debate has fero-ciously challenged hydrau-lic systems, and more and more electric solutions have tried to take on the leading role. Some have even pre-dicted that hydraulic sys-tems would share the same fate as the dinosaurs.

But the dinosaurs are coming back. A multitude of innovations, develop-ments, and enhancements are seeing hydraulic sys-tems and applications im-prove considerably – and sustainably. There’s no end in sight. Is there evidence of this? Our university of applied sciences has estab-lished an endowed chair for oil hydraulics and our competence centre for hy-draulics now has 17 mem-ber companies – clear in-dications of a renaissance. That’s because one thing is certain: hydraulic systems are strong, robust, and they work more reliably than most comparable technolo-gies. And little by little, they are regaining ground lost in the battle. The rea-sons for this are quite clear.Hydraulic systems and applications are becoming more intelligent

Thanks to new ways of thinking and develop-ment approaches that fo-cus on systems, hydraulic technology is becoming more efficient, versatile, and precise. By integrating high-performance electron-ics and control software, hydraulic systems are con-stantly becoming more “in-telligent.” All the while, the software also ensures that increasingly complex sys-tems are becoming easier to operate. And that’s not all – the focus on systemic factors is reaching out into more and more areas.

The limits to how far we can stretch the mechani-cal production of control blocks are being eradicat-ed, but when we do reach the limit, software can help us go further – for example, when balancing oscilla-

tions at specific operating points. Control valves are becoming even more pre-cise and faster. Oils and fluids are also advancing further. It’s quite conceiv-able to develop fluid sen-sors that detect wear, and report when a part should be exchanged.

Seals are becoming more application-specific and being developed in line with their intended use. They will reconcile the two opposing objectives of minimizing friction while maximizing sealing perfor-mance. This is giving rise to trendsetting sealing sys-tems that can be connected or switched off, such as the Turcon Roto L system developed by Trelleborg Sealing Solutions. Such de-velopments are paving the way for systems that we are already seeing in use, like a tire pressure system that allows for variable tire pressure and which can be adjusted while the system is running.Hydraulics 4.0 – autonomous systems are feasible

Hydraulic systems will gradually become even more intelligent. They will be self-monitoring by us-ing high performance sen-sors, and maintenance will not be carried out during downtime, but dynamical-ly. Depending on the state and load of the hydraulic system, reports will be dis-played indicating required

maintenance or when to change components or flu-ids. All of this will be ac-companied by the highest possible energy efficiency and even greater overall ef-ficiency. And this isn’t even taking Industry 4.0 into ac-count. Quite conceivably, completely autonomous systems will exist in the future. These will monitor and service themselves – more like Hydraulics 4.0. All of this bolsters the un-disputed advantages of hydraulic drives: No other drive system is as powerful and as robust. The “dino-saurs of drive technology” might just outlive every-thing else.Competence through cooperation

The Kompetenzzen-trum Hydraulik is a pri-vately funded centre of excellence for hydraulics at Ulm University of Ap-plied Sciences. It was es-tablished to promote the qualification of young talent as hydraulics spe-cialists. The centre, spon-sored by the chamber of commerce and industry in Ulm (IHK Ulm), will receive over one million euros from its sponsor-ing companies, including Trelleborg Sealing Solu-tions, over the next five years. Each of these com-panies will also delegate a representative to sit on the advisory board to de-fine core tuition and work activities. b

The ‘Dinosaur’ Returns, Again And Again

The National Heavy Equipment Show March 5-6, 2015 at the Interna-tional Centre in Missis-sauga. This key industry event welcomes the leaders of the construction, road building, land improve-ment, and infrastructure industries.

As part of the 2015 edi-tion of the show, Rock To Road magazine will recognize 10 outstand-ing individuals under the age of 40 from throughout Canada’s aggregates and roadbuilding industry. The Rock To Road ‘Top 10 Under 40’ recognizes the achievements of the new-est generation of industry workers. Nominees dem-onstrate a strong work ethic, show leadership and initiative, seek new

opportunities for training and education, and are involved in industry asso-ciations. This is a celebra-tion of the future of the aggregates and roadbuild-ing industry in Canada.

This year’s show will also feature ‘Heavy Edu-cation’ – a series of four educational and informa-tive seminars presented by Rock To Road. Top-ics will cover practi-cal information to save contractors money in the workplace, includ-ing preventative main-tenance for OEMs; the value of buying, renting, leasing and financing major equipment pur-chases; and best prac-tices for financial plan-ning in the construction industry. b

The Geddes Group is meeting customers’ de-mands through a much more productive and ef-ficient washing solution offered by Terex Washing Systems (TWS) at their new site, Struan Quarry Ed-zell. The Geddes Group’s sand and gravel reserves were running low at the Stannochy Quarry, which prompted the need to iden-tify a new gravel pit site, as well as a new wash plant, as their current system was old and becoming ineffi-cient. The requirement to

produce a premium sand and gravel product to serve their concrete and asphalt business, led them to the AggreSand, a cutting edge solution offered by Terex Washing Systems (TWS). This would address their high silt problem, with the ability to produce 3 aggre-gates and two sands, as well as meeting the need of their growing customer base. The Geddes Group is a family firm established over 70 years ago, originat-ing from an agricultural base, where they still own

and operate farms as Ged-des Farms. They also of-fer a full range of earth-works, tipping, recycling and muck away facilities, quarry aggregates, asphalt and ready-mix concrete products. The operation is based in Arbroath with depots, quarries and plants throughout east and central Scotland.

The Geddes family were the first customers to see the world’s first AggreSand in operation, following the official launch event, and again at the Hillhead Show,

UK, in June 2014. They could immediately see the benefits the AggreSand could offer them, in terms of modularity, small foot print and overall design. They particularly liked the concept of capturing their entire useable sand prod-uct, having previously used a traditional system that was not as efficient.

It was following these site visits and several con-sultations with TWS and their Scottish distributor, Blue Group, Scotland, that a decision was made to purchase the AggreSand. Upon the first viewing of the plant, Frank Geddes, Managing Director, Neill Geddes, Plant Director and Graham Geddes, Director commented “on viewing the plant for the first time I immediately saw the ben-efits of the plant and it was evident it was the solution for Geddes. The access and serviceability features off the machines, along with the roll-out centrifugal pumps and roll out chute work, were especially valu-able features. In addition the feed hopper design and capacity was a selling point. It was obvious from viewing the plant operating and the processing capa-bility that a considerable amount of thought and de-sign went into it.”

TWS Distributor in Scot-land, Blue Group, Scotland, and TWS applications and engineer’s teams worked closely with the Geddes Group, firstly to identify

their specific requirements in terms of desired prod-ucts and specification. This involved several sites vis-its, feed material analysis, plant drawings and design modifications to suit their specific spec. Samples of the feed material were sent for further testing at TWS Headquarters in Dungan-non. A full civils and plant layout drawing was pro-vided, outlining the water and electrical; input/out-put points. The high sand to stone ratio suggested that the high capacity plant would be the most suited solutions for their specific needs. The service and support from TWS, along with their distributor, is typical of what customers can expect when purchas-ing a TWS product. TWS offer their expertise and highly skilled team of en-gineers to assist and guide the customer from the ini-tial conception to final in-stallation.

The plant was installed and fully commissioned at the Geddes site in No-vember 2014, and was in fact the first AggreSasnd to grace the Scottish shores, with a further one since installed at another site in Inverness.

Neill Geddes, Plant Di-rector, added “The expertise and support we received from TWS and Blue Group, Scotland, has been second to none, making the entire process easy. The plant has been producing effectively since it was installed. The HMI Control system was a feature that struck me. The ability and ease of ob-taining live data in terms of water pressures, flows, cyclone feed pressures as

well as motor amp reading was very impressive. Un-doubtedly the AggreSand 165 with its 16x5 screen and high capacity 200tph sand plant will leave Geddes in a strong position to meet cur-rent demand and keep up with our ambitious growth plans.”

The feed material, natu-ral sand and gravel, is pre-screened and fed from a loading shovel onto a H9 hopper. The top deck is fitted out with 24mm (sq.) polyurethane modules and 12mm on the middle deck. The bottom deck is split 1/3rd 3mm and 2/3rd 5mm to produce two grades of sand, concrete and build-ing.

From time to time, the concrete sand fraction on this site can be, what is re-ferred to as “hungry,” how-ever by utilizing the unique AggreSand cyclone under-flow blending system we are able to transfer a per-centage of fines from the building sand to the con-crete sand, thus ensuring specification is maintained.

In addition the plant is producing three clean ag-gregates (10mm, 20mm and 40mm) for use as draining, landscaping and concrete stone.

Quarry Foreman, Charles Wallace, explained “The AggreSand is a de-light to work with, it is extremely quiet running, no spillages and the belts run very smoothly, with no roll-back that can be a typical problem with some plants. I was also very im-pressed with the extremely fast installation and set-up, we were up and running in no time and are producing high quality products.” b

Follow utility excava-tion best practices to help save lives and avoid prop-erty damage. That’s the un-derlying message of a new industry safety awareness and education campaign.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) initiated the cam-paign as an industry wide collaborative effort to:• Promote best practices

for jobsite preparation and equipment opera-tion

• Demonstrate under-ground utility installa-tion and repair as safe,

efficient and effectiveMachinery covered in-

Safety Campaign Launching For Underground Utilities


Designed and built in Dubuque, Iowa, the 1050K Crawler Dozer is the larg-est, most powerful dozer ever built by John Deere. Utilizing years of research and extensive customer feedback, the 1050K has the durability, reliability, and productivity needed for mining, quarrying, road building, and other large-scale applications.

“The 1050K is a new generation of crawler dozer that provides the uptime, low daily operating costs, and productivity needed on today’s jobsite,” said Mark Oliver, crawler doz-ers product marketing manager, John Deere Con-struction & Forestry. “Cus-tomer feedback was vital in developing this game-changing dozer. This is a Deere-designed machine that is fully supported by John Deere dealers and it’s unlike any crawler dozer our customers have ever seen in this size class.”

The 1050K incorpo-rates an EPA Final Tier 4/ EU Stage IV PowerTech™ diesel engine with 350 hp (261 kW). Completely re-designed from the ground up, the 1050K’s dual-path hydrostatic transmission allows an operator to push a full load through turns without losing material, unlike torque-converter transmissions on competi-tor machines.

Like the smaller 850K, the 1050K features Eco mode. The Eco mode feature optimizes fuel economy while maintain-ing ground speed by auto-matically adjusting engine speed and transmission settings based on load. This has the potential to re-duce fuel consumption up to 25 percent with no loss in productivity in many ap-plications.

Operators don’t have to worry about diesel par-ticulate filter (DPF) clean-ing as it still occurs auto-matically with no impact to machine operation. Ash service intervals for the diesel particulate filter are condition based, meaning the machine will notify the operator before service is required. Typically, ash service is not necessary un-til the first engine overhaul. Extensive testing allowed John Deere’s DPF to go up to 15,000 hours before ash removal. The 1050K also features excellent total flu-id economy (diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)).

The production-class dozer’s heavy-duty under-carriage is sealed, lubri-cated, and built to last. Its oval-track design has only one wear-causing forward-travel flex point, for lon-ger life. One-piece welded maintenance resists tor-sional stress, absorbs shock loads, and delivers

maximum strength while allowing easy service ac-cess to major components. For added durability, heavy-duty double-reduc-tion planetary final drives are mounted independent of the track frames, where they’re effectively protect-ed from shock loads.

Inside the cab, a deluxe suspension high-back seat is angled 15 degrees to pro-vide a more comfortable view of the ripper and ad-justs seven ways for day-long comfort. An updated LCD display monitor pro-vides enhanced onboard diagnostics with real time values for every tempera-ture, pressure, and speed sensor on the machine. The crawler dozers constantly monitor transmission tem-perature to avoid damage to the hydrostat system.

Before tackling the job-site, operators can set the maximum desired ground speed, and the power man-agement system automati-cally maintains peak engine RPM and power efficiency without stalling or shifting. An ergonomically correct joystick provides intuitive, low-effort control of steer-ing, direction, and ground-speed. An exclusive Total Machine Control (TMC) monitor allows an operator to select decelerator mode and response – forward/re-verse groundspeed ranges, steering modulation, F-N-R shift rate, and forward/re-verse speed ratios.

A hydraulic power-pitch option allows the opera-tor to control blade pitch from the cab. The blade pitch is also adjustable to three mount locations for

superior performance in a variety of applications and materials. The programma-ble return-to-pitch settings allow the operator to pre-set blade-pitch positions, which can be activated with the push of a button.

The 1050K’s controls can be customized to meet the individual needs of an operator. The decelera-tor can slow both ground-

speed and engine RPM, or with the touch of a but-ton, control ground-speed only, to help maintain traction without affecting engine power and hydrau-lic response. Fully depress-ing the pedal applies the brakes.

With standard Electro-Hydraulic (EH) controls, all 1050K dozers are grade-control ready making add-

ing a grade-control system as easy as plugging in the components, calibrating, and going to work. John Deere’s “open-architec-ture” design lets customers easily employ their favor-ite brand of grade-control system – Trimble, Topcon, or Leica. The 1050K can also have a Topcon 3D-MC2 grade control system

New 1050K Crawler Is Deere Designed And Manufactured

Continued on page 10


The Manitowoc Compa-ny’s Board of Directors has approved a plan to pursue a separation of the compa-ny’s Cranes and Foodser-vice businesses into two in-dependent, publicly-traded companies. The company currently anticipates effect-ing the separation through a tax-free spin-off of the Foodservice business and expects the spin-off to be completed in the first quar-ter of 2016, creating two separate, industry-leading companies with distinct enterprise strategies.

“Manitowoc’s manage-ment team and our Board of Directors regularly evaluate and explore op-

Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (“ADS”) (NYSE: WMS), a lead-ing global manufacturer of water management products and solutions for commercial, residen-tial, infrastructure and agricultural applications, today announced that it has acquired Ideal Pipe of Canada, a manufacturer of HDPE pipe and related accessories for approxi-

portunities to optimize the company’s performance and create value for share-holders,” commented Glen E. Tellock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company. “Manitowoc has taken and continues to take actions to enhance returns, including margin expansion initiatives, re-investment in our busi-nesses, and utilization of our free cash flow to de-lever our balance sheet. We believe the separation of Cranes and Foodservice will position these busi-nesses to take advantage of anticipated long-term im-provement in demand and other opportunities in their

mately $56.8 million Ca-nadian dollars. Ideal Pipe had sales in Canadian dollars of approximately $43 million for the trailing twelve months, providing $7.8 million in EBITDA over the same period.

“We are very excited to announce the acquisition of Ideal Pipe, which further strengthens our position in Canada by increasing our size and scale in the

respective markets.”Tellock continued,

“Over the past several years, we have transformed Manitowoc and worked to build two strong business platforms within one en-terprise, and each business enjoys global leadership and is positioned for sus-tainable growth and value creation. After a compre-hensive evaluation, includ-ing a thorough review of the current and projected operating environments for the two segments, we have determined that the Cranes and Foodservice business-es are best-suited to real-ize their full potential on a standalone basis.”

market, as well as enhanc-ing our manufacturing, marketing and distribu-tion capabilities,” said Joe Chlapaty, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Through the combination of our businesses, we will be able to pursue new and exciting opportunities in the Canadian market and offer our customers an un-matched breadth of water management products and

According to the com-pany, The Cranes business, which reported annual rev-enue of $2.3 billion in the 12-month period ended Dec. 31, 2014, is one of the world’s largest providers of lifting equipment for the global construction indus-try, including lattice-boom cranes, tower cranes, mo-bile telescopic cranes, and boom trucks. The business holds leading market po-sitions and highly recog-nized brands, including Manitowoc, Grove, Nation-al Crane, Potain, Shuttle-lift and Crane Care brand names. The business oper-ates 37 facilities in 18 coun-tries and generates nearly 60 percent of its revenue from non-U.S. markets. Through its extensive glob-al footprint, strategic focus on product innovation, and strong after-market sup-port, the Cranes business

solutions, as well as field sales/engineering experi-ence. This puts us in a stronger competitive posi-tion as compared to manu-facturers of concrete, steel and PVC pipe.”

Mr. Chlapaty, contin-ued, “Importantly, this ac-quisition also underscores our commitment to a bal-anced capital allocation strategy that is focused on investing in growth oppor-tunities, both organically and through strategic ac-quisitions – as well as re-turning cash to our share-holders through a quarterly dividend." b

is well-positioned to take advantage of expected im-proving demand in the resi-dential and non-residential construction markets to generate long-term growth in revenue and net income.

The Foodservice busi-ness, which reported an-nual revenue of $1.6 bil-lion in the 12-month period ended Dec. 31, 2014, is one of the world’s leading innovators and manufac-turers of commercial food-service equipment serving the ice, beverage, refrigera-tion, food prep, and cook-ing needs of restaurants, convenience stores, hotels, hospitals, and other institu-tions. The business has a worldwide network of 120 distributors serving dozens of well-recognized restau-rant chains. The business promotes more than 24 industry-leading brands, including Manitowoc, Garland, Convotherm, Cleveland, Lincoln, Mer-rychef, Frymaster, Delfield, Kolpak, Kysor Panel, Ser-vend, Multiplex, Kitch-enCare, Inducs, Koolaire and Manitowoc Beverage System, and has a global presence that spans five continents and more than 80 countries. Through its broad range of innovative products, expansion of its global network, and launch

of sustainability initiatives, the Foodservice business is expected to enhance profit-ability and generate strong cash flow.

The company deter-mined to pursue the sepa-ration of the two business-es in order to:• Position each business to

pursue individual strate-gies as market conditions improve;

• Enable each business to attract a long-term in-vestor base appropriate for the particular opera-tional and financial char-acteristics of each entity;

• Enable investors to value each company separate-ly; and

• Enhance the flexibility of each business to pursue distinct capital structures and capital allocation strategies to meet the individual needs of each business.Manitowoc expects to

continue to execute its stated strategy and capital alloca-tion plans as management works through the execution of the separation, resulting in further deleveraging from now until completion of the transaction. As a result, Manitowoc expects each in-dependent company to have a capital structure and credit rating consistent with that of Manitowoc today. b

installed at the factory for faster availability and the ability to finance the sys-tem with the dozer pur-chase.

“The 1050K is 100 per-cent John Deere and it’s a total machine,” said Dave Rock, equipment asset manager, Sureway Con-struction. “When providing our feedback, we wanted the hood lower, we want-ed to better see the ripper, and the dealers had to be behind this machine for parts, service, sales – ev-

erything.”Operators looking to get

the most out of their 1050K can rely on Ultimate Up-time featuring John Deere WorkSight. With Ultimate Uptime, operators receive pre-delivery and follow-up inspections; three years of JDLink telematics, ma-chine heath prognostics, and remote diagnostics and programming capability; and the ability to add addi-tional dealer-provided up-time solutions to customize the package to individual needs. b

The 184-horsepower Doosan DX255LC-5 crawl-er excavator has been add-ed to the Tier 4-compliant line-up, featuring improved performance, operator-fo-cused comfort, fuel econo-my and jobsite durability. The Tier 4-compliant mod-el replaces the interim Tier 4 (iT4) DX255LC-3.Smart Power Control

A new selectable fea-ture, Smart Power Con-trol (SPC), consists of two systems — Variable Speed Control and Pump Torque Control — that work to-gether to improve machine efficiency while maintain-ing productivity and re-ducing fuel consumption. The engine control unit (ECU) automatically man-ages SPC when SPC is en-gaged. Each of the four power modes will function with SPC engaged or disen-gaged; however, SPC can be active only in the dig-ging work mode.

Variable Speed Control:

Reduces engine rpm dur-ing low workload require-ments such as during the swing portion of a dig cy-cle. This reduces the total energy required to perform a task and improves fuel efficiency by up to 3-7 per-cent.

Pump Torque Control: Efficiently matches hydrau-lic pump torque and en-gine response to the task, preventing engine overload and excess fuel consump-tion, improving efficiency.Display enhancements

An improved 7-inch LCD screen allows operators to continue monitoring the ex-cavator parameters while viewing the rear-view and/or side-view camera im-age. Critical machine data appears next to the camera view. With an optional side camera, a split screen al-lows both camera displays to be viewed at once. New additions to the monitor in-clude the DEF gauge and im-proved fuel efficiency.

To help save valuable diesel fuel, Doosan added auto-shutdown to its exca-vators to help owners save fuel during non-working conditions. Operators can configure the idle time from 3 to 60 minutes. When enabled, the feature will shut down the excava-tor’s engine when the pre-set idle time is met. This is particularly helpful in Cali-fornia where state regula-tions require idling for only 5 minutes for off-highway machines.New machine updates

In addition to auto-shut-down and LCD screen up-dates, the new Doosan DX-255LC-5 crawler excavator has the following updates:• Improved anti-skid

plates: for easier en-gine access for machine maintenance

• Auto belt tensioner, fan and air conditioning: simplifies maintenance

• Emergency engine stop: relocated for easier op-

erator access• Improved serviceability:

allows for easier access to components and less time for maintenance

• Upgraded alternator: de-livers improved power for electrical components

• New front window de-sign: provides good vis-ibility to the work area

Doosan TelematicsDoosan excavators

come with a standard 3-year subscription to Doosan Telematics, which allows equipment own-ers and fleet managers to remotely monitor machine location, hours, fuel usage, engine idle versus work time, error codes and en-gine as well as hydraulic temperatures. Machines can be monitored via an online Doosan Telematics account. In addition, Doo-san dealers can provide im-

proved customer support using the system by re-sponding to machine warn-ing messages and alerts, troubleshooting machine issues, and then sending a field service vehicle to help with repairs and the proper parts.Tier 4 compliance

The Doosan DX255LC-5 complies with Tier 4 emis-sion standards with modi-fied diesel engines and af-tertreatment technologies. The engine is optimized for use with a high-pres-sure common-rail (HPCR) fuel delivery system and a cooled exhaust gas recir-culation (CEGR) system. It utilizes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to reduce particulate matter (PM) and selective catalyst re-duction (SCR) aftertreat-ment to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx). Addition-

ally, a variety of aftertreat-ment systems have been implemented as part of the Tier 4 compliance, such as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), which is used with SCR technology.Options

Factory-installed op-tions for the new Doosan crawler excavators include the following:• Straight travel pedal,

which allows the opera-tor to travel in a straight line more easily

• Two-way auxiliary hy-draulic pedal (in addition to joystick control)

• Diesel-powered coolant heater for cold starts

• Cab guarding for special applications

• Additional work lamps• Rotate circuit hydraulic

New Doosan DX255LC-5 Crawler Excavator

Master Promotions Ltd., producer of Expo Grands Travaux, has an-nounced new dates for the next edition of this mammoth heavy equip-ment show, which takes place at the internation-ally renowned Olympic Stadium in Montreal.

The event was initially scheduled for the second quarter of 2015; however, after considerable discus-sion with several major exhibitors and key indus-try leaders, the decision has been made to hold Expo Grands Travaux April 22-23 in 2016. This change comes as a result of a number of industry factors indicating that heavy equipment buyers

and sellers will be in a better position to support a show of this magnitude at that time.

Under New Ownership


Even with the recent ma-jor downward shift in

the global price of oil, the ebb and flow of the world-wide demand for clean en-ergy intensifies. Recently BC Hydro and the Province of British Columbia took another major forward step in the province’s goal to become Canada’s premier green province.

First suggested by BC Hydro, a provincial crown corporation, in the 1970s, the Site C Clean Energy Project on the Peace River, approximately 7 km. from Fort St. John in northeast British Columbia, has been studied in depth at every level by both the provincial and federal governments. In addition, First Nations’ governments, environmen-tal and conservancy groups and impacted parties have kept close watch on the regulatory and approval processes.

As early as 1980, BC Hydro applied for an En-ergy Project Certificate to build the dam. BC Hydro anticipates that in the next 20 years electricity needs for the province are ex-pected to grow up to 40 percent. Under his watch, Premier Gordon Camp-bell stated “Hydroelectric power helped develop our province and Site C will build on B.C.’s heritage of clean, renewable and af-fordable power.”

In 2011, a full regula-tory review was launched by both the federal and provincial governments and included input by the

public, First Nations, stake-holders, communities and customers. The joint panel review issued its final re-port in May 2014 and the project received environ-mental approvals from the federal and provincial gov-ernments in October 2014.

Then on December 16, 2014, B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced that the government was advanc-ing the Site C Clean Energy Project to construction. Currently the project is at the RFP/Procurement stage and is open to suppliers from across the country. First shovels in the ground are expected in summer 2015. Final completion and operation is anticipated to go online in 2024.

Not unlike similar proj-ects in other Canadian prov-inces, the Site C dam project became the flash point for both those in support and those opposed. The Decem-ber announcement by Pre-mier Clark brought forth a new round of both positive support and negative con-troversy. According to the premier, “In order for our economy to grow, we need to ensure there is power.” Clark then paraphrased for-mer Premier Gordon Camp-bell when she said the dam will bring clean, reliable and affordable power to the province. Opposition Continues

However, Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, did not share the same en-thusiasm as Premier Clark for this project. Stewart’s

response to the announce-ment, “This is an ill-ad-vised and incredibly stupid decision the province has made regarding the Site C Project.”

Environmental protec-tion groups such as the Peace Valley Environment Association, the Sierra Club and the Wilderness Committee, to name just three, are continuing to mount strong opposition to Site C. They are joined by other opposing groups like the Peace River landown-ers and individuals such as Hudson Hope mayor Gwen Johansson. The chorus of opposition does not seem to be fading. Local Support Grows

However, coffee-shop-chatter in Fort St. John seems to be growing and is much more positive. Ac-cording to Greg Hansen, General Manager of Great West Equipment’s FSJ op-erations, “In general people are looking forward to the economic benefits it will bring to the area. Yes, there are those that oppose it, and they have some good points, but in general I be-lieve it will be good both in the short and long term for British Columbia.”

The Site C Clean Energy Project will become the third major hydroelectric dam on the British Colum-bia portion of the Peace River. The first being the Gordon M. Shrum generat-ing station at the W.A.C. Bennett Dam which began operation in 1968. At 186 metres high, the Bennett

Dam is one of the highest earth-filled dams in the world. At an electricity out-put of 2,730 MW, it is the fourth largest hydroelec-tric generating station in Canada.

The second on the river was the concrete Peace Canyon Dam located at Hudson Hope, B.C. just 23 kilometres downstream from the Bennett Dam. This dam was completed in 1980. The Peace Canyon hydroelectric generating station, with an output of 694 MW, is the 32nd larg-est in Canada.

The earth-filled Site C dam and generating sta-tion, with a planned output of 1,100 MW, will have approximately the same output as Hydro Quebec’s Jean-Lesage (1,145 MW) and Manic 5 (1,064 MW) hydroelectric generating stations, making Site C the 17th largest hydroelectric generating facility in the country.

The largest electricity generating station in Can-ada, at a capacity of 6,300 MW, is the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station at Ti-verton, Ontario, northwest of Toronto on the shores of Lake Huron. This facility alone produces about 30% of Ontario’s electricity.

The Peace River, flow-ing from the Finlay River, originates high in the Rocky Mountains and flows to the northeast through northern Alberta eventually empty-ing into the Slave River, a tributary of the Mackenzie River. b

AGG1 visitors will get a first look at McCloskey International’s new jaw crusher, the J45, in Bal-timore, Maryland March 17-19, 2015. On display at Booth 1064, the J45’s true 45” x 27” jaw, with both level and load sensors, en-sures the most efficient ma-terial handling across ap-plications. The new model joins the redesigned V2 Se-ries jaw crushers coming to the market, including the J40 V2 and the J50 V2.

Also being introduced is the J45R, which allows operators to produce a crushed and screened final product with one machine. Like the J45, the J45R boasts a 14’-10.2” x 7’-3/4” hopper with close to 9 cu-bic yards (6.8m3) capac-ity. The 5’ x10’ Screenbox features McCloskey “High Energy” technology, with adjustable speed. Rugged and versatile, both models have undergone rigorous

field-testing to ensure the reliability required for the toughest projects around the globe.

“We’ve had the new J Series out with customers in the field for over a year now,” said John O’Neill, Vice-President Sales and Marketing for McCloskey International.” “We based the changes to the design on customer feedback. Once we incorporated their feedback, we sent it back into the field for their as-sessment. All have come back saying their produc-tion has increased substan-tially, and their processing of materials in a number of formats is even more effi-cient than before.

AGG1 is seen as the per-fect opportunity for McClo-skey International to intro-duce the new features and benefits of the J Series jaw crusher line. The J40 and J50 crushers have been en-hanced with a number of

production boosting fea-tures, including heavier flywheels and cheek plates, and are optimized for Type 1 crushing applications.

In addition to the change in the cheek plates and fly-wheel, a steeper nip angle allows for better crush-ing in the mid and upper chamber sections, and ul-timately delivers better jaw die utilization. Combining these enhancements, both the J45 and J45 have the power and production of much larger crushers in a smaller and more efficient footprint. A faster jaw speed also delivers more production with more ma-terial passing through the crushing chamber.

The J45 and J45R fea-ture a TEDD panel that is more concise, and easier to understand. For quarries with multiple equipment operators, training is re-duced as the panel is easy to read, and displays more

functions in an intuitive manner.

All the McCloskey J Se-ries V2 crushers feature: • Increased jaw speed

leading to better reduc-tion and product being processed faster through the crushing chamber.

• Longer fixed jaw die for more capacity.

• Deeper nip angle delivers better jaw die utilization.

• The TEDD control panel is more concise, and has more functions. It is also easier to read and easier to understand.

• Cheek plates and fly-

wheels are heavier and better balanced for in-creased efficiency. Over the past twelve

months McCloskey Inter-national has continued to add new international deal-ers across all regions to rep-resent the number of new products that were added to the company’s portfolio. Many of these dealers will be attending AGG1 2015, and visitors will be able to connect with them during the show and after.

McCloskey Interna-tional Limited designs and manufactures innovative

crushers, impactors, trom-mel screeners, vibrating screeners, feeders, stack-ing conveyors and picking stations. Since 1985, Mc-Closkey International has been exceeding customer expectations with reliable, durable and high perform-ing products. McCloskey equipment is used in ag-gregate processing, mining and quarry operations, 3 construction and demoli-tion, road building, topsoil and compost production, as well as waste manage-ment and recycling opera-tions. b

New J Series Crushers From McCloskey

Toronto Mayor John Tory recently announced that construction work currently underway on the Gardiner Expressway from Exhibition Place to Grand Magazine Street will be completed up to two months ahead of schedule, depending on weather con-ditions this winter.

The expressway is expected to re-open in May 2015, several weeks sooner than was originally planned for this phase of the work thanks to an ac-celerated work schedule negotiated by the City and the contractor.

“Traffic congestion is strangling this city and a big part of solving that prob-lem is getting public sector construction projects done faster,” said Mayor Tory. “Going forward, I plan to work with City staff to en-sure we bring this hurry up approach to projects across

the city so we can get this City moving.”

“This is about making smart, informed decisions,” said Councillor Jaye Robin-son (Ward 25 Don Valley West), Chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. “Today’s in-vestment will reduce con-gestion and gridlock - it’s a common sense approach.”

The City evaluated the cost and benefits of imple-menting acceleration costs within the contract budget in order to complete this work early. The maximum paid in acceleration costs would be $2 million de-pending on the actual com-pletion date.

Currently, the City of Toronto estimates the cost of construction on the Gar-diner Expressway is about $1 million per day for commuters as a result of increased travel time from lane closures related to

construction. The full completion of

the work to rehabilitate the deck is expected to be done by December 2016. Con-struction work will resume at this location following the conclusion of the Pan Am Games.

While this work is on-going, the City has taken steps to minimize disrup-tion to the travelling pub-lic, including: • Implementing traffic sig-

nal timing changes to enhance traffic flow on nearby routes

• Co-ordinating other con-struction projects with key stakeholders to avoid major work tak-ing place along parallel routes, and

• Working to plan im-proved co-ordination and response to inci-dents on the Gardiner Expressway. This construction proj-

ect is part of the City’s comprehensive and co-ordinated strategy to reha-bilitate and upgrade roads, transit and underground infrastructure for current and future needs. b

Boskalis Nederland is a part of Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. Boska-lis was established in 1910 and has expanded from a local dredging contractor to a leading global maritime services company with over 11.000 employees.

Originally, dredging and earth moving were the core activities of the company. They are now additionally active in the construction and maintenance of har-bours, land reclamation, inland infra, and offshore energy sectors. The Challenge

Boskalis Technical Ser-vice Nederland (their in-ternal rental company) in Capelle aan den IJssel man-ages several mobile pump units with high and ultra high flows. Boskalis clearly prefers environmentally friendly equipment and has very specific requirements from their pumps which include; • The pump must have

a minimum capacity of 5000 m3/hr and a pres-sure in excess of 3 bar;

• Excellent suction capa-bilities (NPSHr curve) and suitable for use as a

dewatering pump;• High fuel efficiency com-

bined with the lowest ex-haust emissions;

• The pump unit should fit into a 20 ft. container for easy transport;

• The maximum weight should be no more than 12,000 kilograms. Boskalis has a number

of widely divergent proj-ects around the globe. This makes multi-func-tionality and ease of lo-gistic handling important factors in the purchase of new equipment. In addi-tion, durability and corpo-rate social responsibility are central to the compa-ny’s values. As an exam-ple Bas van den Brand, a technical superintendent with Boskalis Nederland, mentions the topic of weight. “For a pumpset of this size, 11 to 12 tons is usually the maximum per-missible due to limitations in handling on site. Also, the soil layers can be sub-stantially compacted and cannot always carry the weight”. The Solution

Early in October 2014, Boskalis Nederland offi-

cially commissioned the delivery of a BBA high flow pump unit of the type BA-C500S11 D711 with a very attractive efficiency of 86%. The auto prime pump provides a capacity of 5500 m3/hour (24000 US GPM) and a maximum head of 37mwk (120 ft). The pump is driven by a modern Stage IV Volvo Penta diesel

engine; the TAD1374VE. This provides a power of 375kW and delivers the lowest specific fuel con-sumption in its class (207 g/kWh). Exhaust gas is treated using AdBlue®. It is fully equipped with the newly developed, extreme-ly silent and light weight canopy and its dimensions ensure that it fits into a 20 ft. container without any problems. The total weight of the pump unit is just 10.800kg! The Result

The new BA-C500S11 has now been deployed in

a first project in Muiden. The A1 highway is being widened and partially re-routed. The Boskalis Ned-erland employees on-site are very impressed with the pumping performance, especially with regards to the low noise emissions.

Upon commissioning positive feedback abound-ed:

“This pump unit only has to work half throttle to do the job – at 1250 rpm it provides as much capac-ity as the old one at 2000 rpm”.

“Incredible, there’s not

even any smoke from the exhaust at start-up”.

“It’s amazingly quiet” “The former pump unit

regularly clogged up due to solid materials as a re-sult of the vertical drainage hose we use here – fortu-nately the BA-C500S11 can just pump it”.

BBA Pumps has decided to include this pump unit in its standard product range.

Henno Schothorst, BBA Pumps’ Product Manager says:

“We can’t ignore this any longer; this is a pump unit for the future”. b

FPInnovations and the Forest Products Associa-tion of Canada (FPAC) an-nounced that the federal government is moving ahead with the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.

Details of the initiative were revealed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at an event in Markham, ON, in the presence of Ed Holder, Minister of State (Science and Tech-nology). The Fund will position Canada’s post-secondary institutions to compete with the best in the world for talent and breakthrough discover-ies, creating long-term economic advantages for Canada.

Post-secondary institu-tions are already a vital part of the dynamic for-est innovation system that has resulted in world-first

developments in Canada’s forest products industry. Canada can point to the award-winning cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) re-search and midply wall construction system as clear examples of cutting-edge innovations brought by FPInnovations’ stra-tegic partnerships with Canadian universities. In 2013, Canadian scientist Derek Gray received the prestigious Marcus Wal-lenberg award for his cut-ting-edge CNC research during his career with Mc-Gill University and FPIn-novations. The Midply Wall System, an innova-tive redesign of standard shear walls used in con-struction was developed by scientists from FPInno-vations and the University of British Columbia under funding from Natural Re-sources Canada.b

The program of events took place from January 12th – 15th and consisted of an agenda of keynote sessions and workshops held at the Slieve Russell hotel in Ireland followed by an impressive product dis-play at their new Centre of Excellence in Ballygawley, Northern Ireland.

The event provided the opportunity to bring to-gether their global network of experienced distribu-tors to discuss key areas of business growth in 2015 and to ensure that the pref-erences and requirements of their global customer base continue to be met and exceeded.

The final day of the

conference saw their guests being transported to the new Centre of Excel-lence in Ballygawley. This impressive site is their major hub of manufactur-ing for mobile equipment in the UK and guests were taken on a tour to fully appreciate the modern production facilities and the complete manufactur-ing process from start to finish.

Across from the cen-tre was an outstanding product display of eight machines from their mar-ket leading range of mo-bile equipment of jaw, cone and impact crushers, screens and scalping equip-ment. The display repre-

sents only a fraction of the product portfolio available but showcased some of the bestselling models from the range all built and devel-oped to meet the needs of Sandvik’s global customer base.

Crushers on display included the bestselling QJ341 jaw crusher, the largest in the Sandvik Pre-mium range of tracked jaw crushers, the innova-tive QH331 Hydrocone and QS331 “S” type gyra-tory cone crushers and the high performing UH440i cone crusher from their HD range of equipment. The hanging screen system, an optional feature of the QI341 Prisec impactor was also showcased. The hang-ing screen allows custom-ers an even greater return on investment through the facility to produce ac-curately sized products for immediate use.

From their range of pio-neering screening solutions the new QA441 Double-screen was a major at-traction as the largest two deck tracked mobile screen equipped with Sandvik’s patented, world class Dou-blescreen. This unique sys-tem has two high velocity screens working indepen-dently to each other offer-ing both primary and sec-ondary screening on one plant. Customers benefit from exceptional flexibility

Over 12,000 profes-sionals attended the show, which featured 586 exhibitors on eight acres of floor space. Landscape construction and mainte-nance are the primary sec-tors served by Congress, as well as other green industry specialties rang-ing from retailing to nurs-ery growing to landscape design. According to the mood of attendees, the re-cent economic downturn is history; delegates were energized and looking to grow their business-es. “Congress is always a great start to my new year. It is where I catch up with my industry contacts and start to develop new

ideas, while at the same time, seeing what’s new in the industry at such a world-class event,” says Alan White of Turf Sys-tems, a Burlington, Ont.,-based lawn care and snow management provider.

Congress is an initia-tive of Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades As-sociation, one of the most vibrant associations of its kind in the world. Con-gress consistently ranks as one of Canada’s Top Ten trade shows. Hutcheson Sand and Mixes, Mar-Co Clay and Stone, Techo-Bloc, Battlefield Equip-ment Rentals and Stihl re-ceived Best Booth awards for the 2015 show. Kubota

Canada won the Best of Show award for its out-standing display, which included a full-sized load-er done up as a cellophane and cardboard-packaged toy. “We had fun with tweets like, ‘This toy doesn’t depreciate when you open it,’” said Jillian Kleovoulos, Kubota Can-ada marketing specialist. NewRoads National Leas-ing was honoured with the Special Promotion award, for its creativity in pro-moting show attendance electronically. A high vis-ibility opportunity offered to exhibitors was display space in the New Product Showcase. The Showcase was always busy with

delegates interested in the new product offerings.

Congress is also the Ca-nadian industry’s profes-sional development hub, offering over 30 sessions and keynotes through the Congress Conference se-ries. Integrated Pest Man-agement, landscape design, peer mentoring and irriga-tion were all topics of spe-cial conferences. Julie Moir Messervy, Jeffrey Scott, Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons, Meg Soper, Jim Paluch, Tom Shay and Peter van Stralen are just a few of the high profile speakers pre-sented at this year’s event.

An annual Congress highlight is Landscape On-tario’s Awards of Excel-lence ceremony. Over 600 attended the Jan. 6, 2015, gala, which showcased breathtaking landscape projects. The ceremony featured professional stag-ing and a live band, in talk-show format. The eve-ning’s host was Frank Fer-ragine of Breakfast Televi-sion; his sidekick bore an uncanny resemblance to Jay Leno.

The green industry is committed to matching young people with reward-ing careers in horticulture.

Students from horticulture programs at Durham, Fan-shawe, Humber, Niagara and St. Clair colleges and the University of Guelph built (and dismantled) high-style display gardens at Congress.

All delegates were in-vited to the Wednesday evening Tailgate Party; the ultimate networking dinner event. The hardworking landscape industry looks forward to taking a break at Tailgate each year, and more than 800 attended in 2015.

Thanks are due to Con-gress sponsors Stone Arch/

Global Arch, Banas Stones, International Plaza Hotel, Landscape Trades maga-zine, the Landscape Ontar-io Hardscape Committee, Beaver Valley Stone, Best Way Stone, Bobcat, Me-dallion Fence and Vermeer Canada.

A very important com-ponent of the show’s leadership is its volunteer committee; these industry members actually pitch in before, during and after the show. When it comes to show operations, Congress has a reputation as excep-tionally well organized, ef-ficient and respectful. b

Enthusiasm Was The Theme At Canada’s Top Trade Show

Construction spending rose in December to a six-year high of $982 billion as public construction for the year increased for the first time since 2009, ac-cording to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials said President Obama’s budget proposal and his suggested infrastructure funding pro-gram should help construc-tion spending continue to grow by accelerating de-bate about the best way to fund repairs to the nation’s aging roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure.

“For the first time in nearly a decade there was growth in all three major construction segments-public, private non-resi-dential and residential,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief econo-mist. “If the president and Congress can work out a way to pay for long-term investments in our aging infrastructure, there is a good chance this pattern will repeat in 2015.”

Construction spend-ing in December totalled $982 billion at a season-ally adjusted annual rate, 0.4 percent higher than in November, 2.2 percent

higher than in Decem-ber 2013, and the highest monthly figure since De-cember 2008, Simonson noted. The full year total of $961 billion was up 5.6 percent from 2013 and was the highest full year amount since 2008.

Private residential spending in December climbed 0.3 percent from November but slid 4.0 percent from a year earli-er, while private non-res-idential spending slipped 0.2 percent for the month but rose 5.3 percent year-over-year. Public con-struction spending in-creased 1.1 percent from November and 6.7 per-cent from December 2013. For the full year, private residential spending rose 4.1 percent, private non-residential spending climbed 11 percent, and public spending grew 1.8 percent.

“The hottest segments in 2014 as a whole were warehouses, which leaped 50 percent, and multifam-ily, which climbed 34 per-cent,” Simonson added. “Both of these categories should do well again in 2015.”

Other private non-residential segments that

grew steeply in 2014 in-cluded offices (24 per-cent); manufacturing (16 percent); power, includ-ing oil and gas pipelines and field work (14 per-cent); and commercial-re-tail, warehouse and farm (13 percent), Simonson observed. He noted that office and retail construc-tion included many reno-vation projects as well as new starts.

The two biggest pub-lic segments both grew in 2014: highways and streets (4.1 percent) and educa-tion (1.2 percent). In ad-dition, public spending on transportation facilities such as transit, airport and ports rose 4.9 percent, Si-monson said.

Association officials said the infrastructure funding outlined in the president’s latest bud-get will help stimulate needed debate on the best way to finance re-pairs and additions to the nation’s vital pub-lic infrastructure. “The president’s budget pro-posal opens the door to a healthy debate about the best way to finance our long-term infrastructure needs,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the associa-tion’s chief executive of-ficer. “Congress should take advantage of this opportunity and work with the president to find the right funding solu-tion.” b

CSA Group, a leading standards development organization and a global provider of testing and cer-tification services, officially announced the availability of the 2015 Canadian Elec-trical Code (CE Code), Part 1. The 2015CE Code is the 23rd edition of Canada’s primary standard for elec-trical installations, includes more than 200 updates and revisions, and is offered in a new interactive ver-sion that provides users enhanced ability to locate, interpret and calculate re-quirements of the code on a tablet or phone.

New and extensively

Johns Manville (JM), a Berkshire Hathaway com-pany and leading building products manufacturer, today announced the addi-tion of JM Corbond Open-Cell Spray Polyurethane Foam (oc SPF) and JM Cor-bond® Open-Cell Appen-dix X Spray Polyurethane Foam (ocx SPF) to its com-plete line of building insu-lation products. The new products replace the previ-ous JM oc SPF line and are recommended for walls, floors, crawl spaces, and

updated sections focus on renewable energy, electric heating and hazardous lo-cations classifications. A separate document entitled “Top 16 CE Code Changes” provides an overview of the changes and how they impact various stakehold-ers.

“CSA Group is looking to modernize the way we de-velop and offer standards. Our new interactive ver-sion of the CE Code allows people to reference the document from their phone or tablet,” said Gianluca Arcari, Executive Director, Standards and Vice Presi-dent, CSA Group. “Users

both unvented and vented attics and ceilings.

“Our new high-perfor-mance JM Corbond open-cell spray foams offer outstanding thermal per-formance and spray char-acteristics, which ultimate-ly provide value to both our customers and building occupants.”

JM Corbond oc SPF is a two-component, low-density, non-structural insulation system de-signed for commercial, residential and industrial

can now easily access and find the relevant sections on a portable device, while they are on the job. This is just one of ways we are changing to meet the needs of our clients. Most impor-tantly, these changes will help workers to easily ac-cess information that helps make everyone safer.”

In the 2015 CE Code, renewable energy systems are now covered in one section. Requirements for photovoltaic systems have been merged with requirements for renew-able energy systems, such as wind and hydrokinetic, and there are significant

applications. Its low-den-sity nature allows for tre-mendous yield, while still affording air sealing of homes, offices and class-rooms. This results in better air quality and in-creased comfort for build-ing occupants.

Additionally, JM Cor-bond ocx SPF meets ICC Evaluation Service’s AC 377 Appendix X require-ments for application with-out an ignition barrier in attics and crawl spaces. The basis for the Appen-

updates reflecting the lat-est technologies and safety features for occupants and first responders.

The updated Code now changes Section 18, hazardous locations, to focus exclusively on the Zone system of classifica-tion. The section has been revised to introduce the IEC classification for loca-tions containing explosive dust atmospheres, such as grain elevators and flour mills.

Another important change is to the section on electric heating. Instal-lation requirements for electric heating equipment have been rationalized and grouped into general rules, where appropriate. New requirements have been added for skin-effect trace heating systems and heating systems by Class 1 extra-low voltage power

dix X test method is NFPA 286. This eliminates an extra step and reduces the number of passes required, which saves contractors time and money while achieving the same perfor-mance level of JM Corbond oc SPF.

JM Corbond oc SPF is available throughout the U.S. and Canada. JM Cor-bond ocx SPF is available in the U.S. only, as it is an ideal match to building codes and climate zones.

Performance advantag-es of JM Corbond oc SPF and JM Corbond ocx SPF include:• Superior sprayability:

Offers excellent spray characteristics allowing for improved efficiency and ease of installation for contractors on jobs of

circuits.The Canadian Electrical

Code, Part I is an integral part of the Canadian Elec-trical Safety System that helps keep Canadians safe from harm. The CE Code, Part I covers the installa-tion and maintenance of electrical equipment for operation at all voltages in buildings, structures, and premises (including factory-built relocatable and non-relocatable struc-tures).

The 2015 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, in-cludes numerous updates:• Arc fault circuit inter-

rupters: New require-ments expand the use of arc fault circuit interrup-tion (AFCI) technology to include most rooms within dwelling units.

• High voltage cable am-pacities: Ampacity tables

all sizes.• Comfortable indoor en-

vironments: Stops air leakage with an effective air barrier that will not shrink or settle, which results in more consis-tent indoor temperature control year-round, and improves Sound Trans-mission Class (STC) rat-ing to reduce noise pol-lution.

• Energy efficient: Reduces heat transfer via con-duction and radiation to improve thermal per-formance, and achieves R-values up to R-3.6 at 1 inch (JM Corbond oc SPF) and R-3.7 at 1 inch (JM Corbond ocx SPF).

• Improved indoor air quality: Eliminates un-wanted air exchange and controls moisture

have been added for conductors rated 5kV to 46kV.

• Receptacles for residen-tial dining areas: Modern homes tend to have open concept kitchen and dining areas and can in-clude entertainment ar-eas and workspaces. The code has been revised to reflect the same require-ments for great rooms as for living rooms and bed-rooms.

• Reduction of shock drowning in marinas: To increase safety, the requirements for ground fault circuit interrupter protection of class A type receptacles has been extended to all 125V, 15A and 20A recep-tacles installed on fixed or floating piers, docks or wharves in fishing harbours or on marine structures.b

ways looking for opportu-nities to provide customers with innovative products that meet the needs of any project, and adding two new spray foam op-tions enables us to sat-isfy increased demand for spray foam solutions,” said Geoff Stephenson, national sales manager for spray foam products at Johns Manville. “Our new high-performance JM Corbond open-cell spray foams offer outstanding thermal per-formance and spray char-acteristics, which ultimate-ly provide value to both our customers and building occupants.” b

The Nova Scotia govern-ment signed an agreement on Jan. 30th with Medway Community Forest Co-op-erative Ltd. to begin man-aging a community forest in Annapolis County, the first one in Eastern Canada.

A community forest is managed by local people to benefit the local economy.

“Government wants our forests managed in ways that bring us economic, environmental and social benefits. This pilot project is a key part of that mix,” said Zach Churchill, Min-

ister of Natural Resources.The community forest is

part of the natural resources strategy. The co-operative will develop a long-term, ecological plan to manage the working forest and nur-ture forest-based businesses that support the local econ-omy. The proposal was cho-sen through an expression of interest process by the pro-vincial government.

The three-year pilot proj-ect will be on 15,000 hectares (37,000 acres) of provincial Crown land. Government will contribute $274,000.

“Community forests across the country have helped contribute to rural economies and support direct community involve-ment in decision making,” said Will Martin, Chair of the Co-operative.

The Medway Commu-nity Forest Co-operative is supported by several groups including the Mersey Tobe-atic Research Institute, Wind Horse Woods, the North Queens Board of Trade, the Federation of Nova Scotia Woodland Owners, Nova Scotia Woodland Owners and Operators Association, Nova Scotia Co-operative Council, and the Ecology Action Centre, as well as numerous local community members, forestry contrac-tors and local mills. b

Genie is proud to an-nounce the Fall Arrest Bar, a new safety ac-cessory. This accessory is available for ANSI and CSA boom lifts and quickly attaches to a 6 ft or 8 ft platform on all 40 ft Genie telescopic boom lifts and 45 ft Ge-nie articulating boom lifts and higher, except the S-125HD model. The Fall Arrest Bar allows a user to exit the platform and work comfortably around the outside of the platform with a 6 ft lanyard. This part is now available and may be or-dered through our parts organization at gogenie-lift.com

“Genie is always look-ing for ways to meet our customers’ safety re-quirements. We worked extensively with custom-ers to design and test this accessory and have been able to create a solution that meets their needs,” said Karen Stash, Senior Director of Global Prod-uct Management and Marketing, Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP).

A smooth, sliding, horizontal track design allows the operator to tie off and move freely out-side the platform using a 6 ft shock-absorbing lan-yard. The enclosed track, made from high strength steel, protects the trolley

from weather and debris. The yellow, identifiable bar attaches quickly and easily, within 15 min-utes, for fast setup and removal.

“Many boom opera-tors have unusual ac-cess requirements; for example in the aviation industry while work-ing on the wings of airplanes, or in amuse-ment parks,” said Chris-tine Zeznick, Boom Associate Product Man-ager, Terex AWP. “The Fall Arrest Bar acces-sory provides that extra safety enhancement for exiting the platform.”

The new Genie Fall Ar-rest Bar option complies with ANSI A92.5-2006 and CSA B354.4-02 standards for self-propelled booms. The CE certification of the Genie Fall Arrest Solution is currently being evalu-ated. b

Headsight, Inc., an in-dustry leader in header height control solutions, announces their newest product, Terrahawk, the first of its kind in radar height control, a fully non-contact solution.

Non-contact sensors for header height control have been highly sought after in the ag industry for years. Engineers have experimented with sonar, and even radar, but obsta-cles of crops and terrain characteristics have liter-ally stood in the way.

“I am very excited about Terrahawk,” said Rich Gramm, President of Headsight, Inc. “Our team has been working on

non-contact sensors since 2009. With the Terrahawk technology downed crops and challenging terrain will no longer be a prob-lem. This Radar product will be a leader in the next phase of harvesting tech-nology.”

The Terrahawk radar height control system is the most advanced header height control in the mar-ket. There are no moving parts, eliminating sensor wear. The height range has been increased, and because there is no sen-sor touching the ground, it doesn’t push crop, so there are no cables, chains or straps needed for back-ing up.

The sensor itself is compact, allowing for in-creased flexibility in more forward mounting while allowing the operator to increase harvesting speed, even in rough terrain.

Rob Schlipf, Director of Engineering at Head-sight, said, “This break-through represents the future of header height control, in that it al-lows the performance, efficiency and reliability that customers expect. Terrahawk offers a clear advantage to our custom-ers in satisfying a need in the market.”

The Terrahawk radar height control system will be available in limited quantities for the 2015 har-vest season. Interested par-ties can apply for a MY2015 limited production system by contacting Headsight or completing an on-line form from their website. b
