ASCO Acquires Hi-Way EquipmentCompany, Expands to Eight LocationsLubbock, Texas-based Associated Supply Company

Inc. (ASCO) has acquired Houston-based heavy equip-ment dealer Hi-Way Equipment Company. The dealsolidifies ASCO’s position as one of the largest con-struction equipment dealers in the United States andimmediately expands the company to eight new CaseConstruction Equipment locations throughout Texas.Since the company has acquired the new locations, it

is also now a Gradall and VT LeeBoy dealer in theHouston, Texas area. New ASCO locations include Dallas/Fort Worth,

North Houston, South Houston, Tyler, Bryan, Brenham,Beaumont and Sherman. These new locations comple-ment ASCO’s existing footprint throughout the region,stretching from Amarillo, Texas through the Lubbockheadquarters and down to San Antonio. “ASCO has made a name for itself standing by its

equipment and providing some of the best supportwe’ve seen in the industry,” said Jim Hasler, vice presi-dent, Case Construction-North America. “The entirestate of Texas represents a major focus for Case in theoil and gas industry. Having a partner like ASCOexpanding in these markets provides a significantadvantage to customers who use Case equipment, andwill also lead to further growth for Case and ASCO inthe region.”ASCO’s product offering includes the full line of

Case Construction Equipment, including loader back-hoes, excavators, motorgraders, wheel loaders, vibrato-ry compaction rollers, crawler dozers, skid steer loaders,compact track loaders, loader/tool carriers and rough-terrain forklifts. The company also has made a name foritself as a premier rental outlet for Case equipment, andthat model will be expanded to the new locations. J.W. (Bill) Wright founded ASCO in 1960 and the

company is now guided by a second- and third-genera-tion of family leadership. Brax Wright, CEO, sees thebusiness model and vision established by his father asguiding principles today. “We’ve always focused on recruiting the best people,

selling the best equipment in the industry and, mostimportantly, providing the best product support avail-able,” said Wright. “These cornerstones remain a part ofwho we are and are evident in the acquisition of Hi-WayEquipment. We have a vision of being a premier Casedealer in North America. This acquisition, along withthe extraordinary quality of the people who joined usfrom Hi-Way Equipment, helps us achieve that.“My father taught us from an early age that the way

to win and retain customers is to always have parts onthe shelf and to provide superior product support,”added Wright. “This acquisition gives our customersthroughout the entire state confidence that we have sup-port nearby and will be there when they need us.”The acquisition immediately transitions all Hi-Way

Equipment locations to the ASCO name. Three addi-tional Hi-Way Equipment locations (Alvin, Gainesvilleand Longview) are currently under review by ASCO todetermine future plans.

Thieves Take Record Amount of Copper in Utah HeistBy Annie KnoxASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The biggestcopper heist in Utah memory has strippedmore than 6 mi. of wire from a stretch of SaltLake City highway. The Utah Department of Transportation

first noticed the theft March 28, officialssaid, but they don’t know when exactlythieves snatched up the wire. The thieveseither disguised themselves as a constructioncrew or worked in the middle of the night onmultiple occasions to yank wire from themedian of Interstate 15, said roadway light-ing engineer Richard Hibbard. “We can’t keep wire in the ground to save

our lives,’’ he said, estimating that thedepartment deals with smaller-scale theftsnearly every week. Thieves take the wire torecyclers who will pay for metal by thepound. Officials are shocked, they say, to see a

theft this big pulled off on a relatively urbanand highly traveled stretch of road.Billboards dot the side of the six-lane high-way that’s lined with warehouses, sandy dirtand red rock. “To say the least, this was an extremely

risky operation that they pulled off here,’’

said UDOT spokesman John Gleason,adding, “This is by far the largest single cop-per wire theft we’ve dealt with here inUtah.’’ The department doesn’t know exactly

when the theft happened because manyhighway lights all over the Wasatch Valleyhaven’t been working. Routine road mainte-nance in the area is falling to the wayside asworkers grapple to replace the missing wireand broken metal boxes. The thieves likely used sledgehammers to

smash into boxes of wires running to lightpoles, clipped the copper and then used carsor trucks to pull 30,000 to 35,000 ft. of wireout of the ground, authorities said. The scaleof the heist, they said, indicates that thethieves had sophisticated electrical know-how. They snuffed out almost a dozen light

poles along a mile of highway between 1000North and 1800 North, toward the outer lim-its of Salt Lake City. The missing coiled wirewill cost between $50,000 and $60,000 toreplace, officials say. UDOT spends $300,000 to $400,000 a

year to replace stolen copper, officials said.To combat the thefts, the department is con-sidering replacing the copper wire with alu-minum wire, which proves less lucrative at

recycling sites. But aluminum tends to shortout more easily. Engineers also are workingon a plan to bury light boxes along the roadunderground to make them harder to find. A few years ago, “when the recession hit,

it got really bad,’’ Hibbard said, adding thatthe rate of thefts seemed to climb alongsideunemployment rates. With other similar cases in Utah, officials

sometimes find car or bicycle tire tracks.That was the case for one recent, smallertheft about a mile south of this one. But the department has not found such

signs in this heist, said Hibbard, the lightingengineer. “The most evidence I’ve seen is those

beer bottles over there,’’ he said, adding,“That’s the curiosity. It seems impossiblethat someone didn’t see something and saysomething.’’ At trade-in sites, it’s hard for workers to

distinguish thieves from electricians. Wirefrom highway lighting looks pretty much thesame as demolition scrap, said Mark Lewon,president of Utah Metal Works in Salt LakeCity. Electricians, he said, routinely turn inup to a few thousand pounds of copper wire. “Unless they’re wearing a sign that says

they’re a thief,’’ Lewon said, there’s no wayto tell if the metal is stolen.

In total, the wire stolen in this heist couldreturn between $5,200 and $9,000, accord-ing to rates offered by Lewon. Nationwide, police report a strong link

between rates of crystal methamphetamineuse and theft of the wire, according to a 2010study by the U.S. Department of Energy.Replacing the wire typically costs threetimes the value that thieves get for it, thatsame study shows. Brett Brenner, president of the nonprofit,

safety-focused Electrical Safety Foundation,said thieves are putting themselves and oth-ers in danger by stealing wire. “They’re messing with some pretty

sophisticated electronics most of the time,’’Brenner said. The theft, he said, results in problems that

can hurt and kill work crews that go out tofix the wire. And it throws off electricitygrids, he said, sometimes robbing homes andhospitals of power for days. In Montana and neighboring Idaho, police

have taken measures against copper theftsuch as embedding GPS devices in the wireand using them to track down thieves.

Know What to Look for in Compressor SpecificationsBy Dan LeissSPECIAL TO CEG

There are plenty of options when lookingto purchase an air compressor. In fact, it mayseem as if there are too many options. Whatmakes the situation even more complicatedis that a true side-by-side comparisonbetween compressors is difficult to conduct,since manufacturers often rate their specifi-cations differently from one another.However, there are a few simple factors tokeep in mind, which can help you find agood compressor, even when manufacturersseem to be playing the rating game.

Coming to TermsWhen it comes to compressors, there are

three main specifications that determine per-formance: CFM, PSI and horsepower. CFM,or cubic feet per minute, measures the vol-ume of air that a compressor delivers. PSI, orpounds per square inch, indicates the amountof pressure behind the air. Horsepower, ofcourse, represents the power that the engineor motor produces to turn the pump.It seems simple enough but, unfortunate-

ly, things can get a bit more complicated.That’s because there are multiple methodsfor rating the CFM and horsepower of acompressor. Even more, there are other con-siderations, such as service factor and dutycycle, that also can come into play whendetermining performance. Therefore, peopleshould come to terms with all the jargon, sothey aren’t misled into making poor pur-chase decisions.

Speaking VolumesThe first and most commonly misunder-

stood compressor rating is CFM. In theory,this could be determined by multiplying thecylinder bore by the stroke and RPM.However, the formula only calculates dis-placed CFM. Due to factors like atmospher-ic pressure, temperature and friction, com-pressors actually produce less air than thisnumber implies.To more accurately measure performance,

other rating systems have been developed.For instance, standard CFM gives the vol-ume of a unit according to certain condi-tions, such as 14.7 PSIA, 60 degrees ambienttemperature and zero percent relativehumidity. Actual CFM is another rating sys-tem that calculates the true output of thecompressor at real-life operating conditions.Because there is no gold standard in the

industry for rating CFM, manufacturers arebasically free to advertise whichever numberthey prefer. Some companies choose to bemore realistic by rating their compressorswith the actual CFM, while others state thedisplaced CFM because it’s the larger num-ber.Despite the rating method, the most

important point is to not compare appleswith oranges. In other words, a unit adver-tised with a displaced CFM shouldn’t bedirectly compared with another stating theactual CFM. In this case, the best approach

is to ask for the actual CFM of the first unitand then make a fair comparison of the com-pressors’ air volumes.

The Driving ForceAnother specification that often gets con-

fused is horsepower. For gas-powered com-pressors, this isn’t as much of an issue. Thehorsepower ratings on these units are fairlystraightforward, making comparisons easier.Generally, the ideal solution is to look for anengine with more than enough power need-ed to turn the pump. Otherwise, if the engineis underpowered for the unit, it will con-stantly run under high stress, leading to pre-mature failure.On the other hand, electric motors aren’t

as well understood. A person may believe hehas a 5.5-hp unit when it really only operatesat 1.5 hp. This is the difference between peakand continuous horsepower.Peak horsepower is the maximum output

that a motor can produce. However, themotor only achieves this level during startupwhen the start windings are engaged. Oncethe motor reaches normal RPM, the startwindings disengage, and the motor runs at itscontinuous horsepower rating, which can be5- to 7-times less than peak horsepower. Ifthe motor was to operate at its peak horse-power longer than the initial startup period, itcould overheat quickly and would likelyexperience a very short service life.Similar to rating a compressor with dis-

placed CFM, some manufacturers willadvertise the peak horsepower because it’s alarger number. Others will state the continu-ous horsepower. Again, be sure to use thesame rating system when comparing units.In addition to horsepower, the service fac-

tor can further infer how a motor will oper-ate under load. This number indicates thepercentage of continuous horsepower atwhich the motor can safely operate. Forexample, if the service factor is 1.15, themotor can run without issue at 115 percent ofits rated continuous horsepower. The higherthe service factor, the better the motor is at

handling various oper-ating conditions.Furthermore, take

note of the operatingRPM. Most electricmotors found on com-pressors will operatearound 1,725 or 3,400RPM. The slower-RPMunits generally holdmore value, since theyoperate quieter, gener-ate less heat, and pro-duce less wear and tearthan faster motors.

Quality ChecksEven if a unit appears

to be adequately ratedfor the task at hand,there are just a fewmore items to check.By taking note of other compressor qualities,one can get a better sense of whether or notthe compressor will live up to expectations.First, understand that the compressor’s

duty cycle will affect its performance on thejob site. All air-cooled piston compressorsgenerate enough heat that they eventuallyneed to rest in order to avoid overheating.However, some compressors can last longerthan others. The best ones on the markethave duty cycles up to 80 percent, meaningthey can run 80 percent of the time and restfor the other 20 percent. On the other end ofthe spectrum, lower-quality units may onlyhave duty cycles of 10 to 20 percent.Another item to consider is the drive sys-

tem. Is the compressor direct- or belt-driven?Keep in mind that direct drive units may becheaper, but belt drive compressors general-ly last longer and are easier to maintain.In a direct drive system, the pump will

turn at the same rate as the crankshaft, whichis faster than necessary. Also, direct drivesare susceptible to more damage because thecrankshaft is coupled directly to the pump.Therefore, if the pump fails, the motor is

likely to break down with it, or vice versa.Belt drive units increase the ratio of how

many revolutions the crankshaft makes tohow many times the pump turns. In fact, thebelt can slow the pump to almost half thespeed of the motor, which greatly reduceswear and tear concerns. Furthermore, ifeither the motor or pump fails, the othercomponent is likely to remain unharmed,and the damaged part can easily be replaced.Next, analyze the overall construction of

the compressor. Are the components madefrom heavy-duty metal, or are there plasticshields and guards? Are the grease fittingslocated in protected areas so they aren’t eas-ily damaged? And, if the compressor is belt-driven, is the belt fully enclosed by a heavy-duty guard? These questions can be

answered by simply look-ing at the compressor, butother features aren’t asvisible. For instance, oneshould ask about the con-struction of the pump’scylinders. Cast-iron cylin-ders and linings areregarded as the mostdurable, while aluminumalternatives are subject tomuch more wear and tear.

Last But Not LeastFinally, the serviceabil-

ity of a compressor canadd great value. Somemanufacturers designtheir products with wearparts that can be easilyreplaced. As long as rou-tine maintenance is keptup, these units are likely towithstand thousands ofhours of use. And if theyactually break down, the

compressors can usually be fixed on site ortaken to certified dealers for repair. Otherproducts on the market are better suited fornoncommercial use and are practically dis-posable. Once something goes wrong, thereare often no servicing dealers or replacementparts available to remedy the problem.No matter what your compressor needs

are, you’re bound to find a wide variety ofproducts that claim to have the solution.However, you can weed out some of theoptions by understanding the various ratingmethods and using that knowledge to com-pare compressors on a level playing field.Then, you can narrow the selection evenmore by taking into account additional fea-tures that reflect the quality of construction.So even if manufacturers try to play the rat-ing game, you can walk away with a clearwinner…a compressor that will run foryears, producing plenty of air to meet yourneeds.


When it comes to compressors, there are three main specifica-tions that determine performance: CFM, PSI and horsepower.

True side-by-side comparisonbetween compressors is difficultto conduct, since manufacturersoften rate their specificationsdifferently from one another.

EnPak Air Power 40 OffersReliable Air, Electrical Power

Miller Electric Mfg. Co.’s EnPak AirPower 40 is a truck-integrated, engine-driv-en air compressor and generator that elimi-nates the need for hydraulically driven stand-alone or under-hood compressors, and inte-grates seamlessly into a truck’s electrical andfuel systems. This allows field service per-sonnel to run air and power tools off one unitand with the truck turned off. It lowers fuelcosts up to 30 percent, reduces truck enginehours up to 60 percent, lowers truck noiseand reduces exhaust fumes in the work area,according to the manufacturer. EnPak Air Power 40 is designed for serv-

ice truck operators who regularly use com-pressed air and generator power but don’tneed the hydraulic functions first introducedin EnPak Mechanic Series. This makes itmore accessible for service trucks that aren’tequipped with hydraulic cranes but stillrequire the use of heavy-duty air and powertools, such as impact wrenches, jacks,grinders and welding and cutting equipment.This includes industries such as power gen-eration, public utilities and municipalities,transit authorities, waste disposal and rentalequipment facilities. “My air tools consist of everything from

die grinders, air drills, air grinders and 3/8-inch to 1-inch impact wrenches,” said KevinConner, field service technician, BrandeisMachinery & Supply, “and I notice a signif-icant increase in the volume of air availablewith EnPak, especially using a 1-inch-driveimpact. You no longer have to wait betweenfasteners for the air to build back up.”Prior to EnPak, field service technicians

relied on either a hydraulically driven stand-alone or under-hood compressor. Thisrequired leaving the truck running through-out the day, which added unnecessary drive-train hours to their service trucks. EnPak AirPower 40 now runs the air compressor and

generator with its 27 hp (20 kW) Kubotadiesel engine, which ties directly into thetruck’s fuel and electrical systems. Fieldservice technicians now only fill up thetruck’s diesel tank and can run all criticaltools with the truck turned off. Combiningthese functions in one unit provides the fol-lowing benefits:• Reduces fuel consumption up to 30 per-

cent.• Lowers maintenance costs: Reduces

truck operating hours, which yields lowerannual maintenance costs.• Eliminates nonproductive drivetrain

hours and extends the useful life of a servicetruck. • Eliminates the under-hood compressor,

which is not transferable from truck to truck. EnPak Air Power 40 features Miller’s Air

Pak 40 variable-speed rotary screw air com-pressor that is rated at 40 cfm at 100 psi, with175 psi maximum pressure. This allowsservice technicians to use air tools withouthaving to stop and wait for pressure to build.It also features 6,000 watts of generatorpower for welders and power tools, plus anoptional 2,400 watts of pure sine waveEnVerter power for accessories such aslights and laptops. The unit is up to 10 dBquieter when compared to running the sametools off the truck’s engine, and the workenvironment is substantially improved astruck exhaust isn’t filtering into the workarea, according to the manufacturer. EnPak Air Power 40 also features a verti-

cal exhaust to filter fumes up and away fromthe work area. For more information, call 800/426-4553

As a gateway for internation-al trade, the Port of Long Beachis the second busiest containerport in the nation, and 18thbusiest in the world. Foundednearly 100 years ago, POLB isknown nationally for the 2005adoption of the Green PortPolicy, a commitment to envi-ronmental responsibility that ispart of the HarborCommission’s 2006-2016Strategic Plan to modernize Portfacilities. Comprising 3,200acres of land, POLB projectswill minimize negative environ-mental factors, creating newemployment opportunities andcausing annual revenue to growexponentially. POLB’s “Pier J” presents a

broad number of challenges.The Green Port Policy calls forgreen building and cold ironing,or, Alternative Maritime Power(AMP). AMP is an electricalsystem used to describe theprocess of connecting a ship toshore-side electrical power. Thisallows a ship to receive constantpower during the loading andunloading of cargo while theship’s internal engine is shut off.The introduction of this type ofelectrical system will greatlydecrease or eliminate air pollu-tion emitted by carrier engines atPOLB’s, Pier J.In business since 1985, Helix

Electric has been called upon toupgrade the Pier J’s electricalsystems, a project that has prom-ised to pose steep challenges. Helix Superintendent Mike

Lindley was aware that theintroduction of two new 15kvsubstations feeding twenty (20),6.6kv Shore Power Outlets(SPO) to Pier J were going to

present a challenge for his crewof 100 workers because of thesite’s poor soil conditions. Inorder to tackle the 18-monthproject as productively as possi-ble, Lindley knew that hiringTrench Plate Rental Companyto provide the highest of qualitytrench and underground shoringand safety products was neces-sary. TPR stepped up to the chal-

lenge, well equipped to satisfythe demands of the project,making sure all of the correctequipment was promptly deliv-ered to the Long Beach job site.

To complete the project,127,000 ft. (38,710 m) of highvoltage cable, 10,000 cu. yds.(7,646 cu m) of concrete, alongwith 26,000 ft. (7,925 m) of ductbank to protect and separate thecabling is being utilized. This tedious electrical work

called for TPR to provide Quik-Shor Aluminum HydraulicShores, as well as Quik-ShorEnd Braces. These lightweight,pre-assembled, pre-engineeredQS Aluminum HydraulicShores exceed industry stan-dards and can be handled by asingle person in most situationsfor maximum productivity.Additionally, the shores allowfor trenching safety at depths of4 to 15 ft. (1.2 to 4.7 m).The Quik-Shor End Brace,

also provided by TPR is a three-sided, hydraulic shoring systemused to protect the trench walls,while simultaneously protectingthe end of the trench. It incorpo-rates aluminum panels similar tosheet piles and maintains theability to be used in conjunctionwith other shoring systems,including the AluminumHydraulic Shores. The unique product utilizes

components proven over yearsof use, providing extra supportfor Helix’s challenging projectdemands. The QS End Bracescan be kept up to 2 ft. (.6 m)from the bottom of excavationsin Type A and B soils, and at upto depths of 20 ft. (6.1 m) andwidths of 10 ft. (3 m), dependingon soil type.Pier J also required 1200 ft.

(366 m) of bored casing. TrenchPlate Rental Co. knew to deliverTrench Boxes and AluminumHydraulic Quik-Boxes to the

Helix job site. TheQuik-Boxes are idealfor use in tight, smallareas, especially inPier J’s tough, Type Csoil. They are easilypositioned and stack-able, with the abilityto be set up for boththree and four sidedapplications. Quik-Box is able to safelyshore up to 20 ft. indepth and is able toprovide cross connec-tions by way of thefeatured side doors,eliminating unnecessary laborefforts for Pier J’s personnel.Mr. Lindley expected a num-

ber of cave-ins because of thesite’s soil conditions. With 66manholes on site he recognizedthe importance of keeping per-sonnel as safe as possible. Witha reputation for providing safeand efficient products, TPR roseto the occasion, deliveringQuik-Shor Manhole Boxes socrews may easily install electri-cal vault settings. The versatile,easily stacked product has beenadvantageous, allowing Helixcrews to stay on schedule. TPR made sure all of the cor-

rect equipment was promptlydelivered to Long Beach meet-ing all deadlines and tight deliv-ery schedules. Upon comple-tion, Pier J will be billed as aGreen Port, capable of sourcingclean energy to a new genera-tion of larger ships. The projectis scheduled to conclude in lateDecember 2013.

Caltrans put shovels in the ground Feb. 20 on a project thatwill bring much-needed improvements to a major inter-change in San Juan Capistrano, while creating a new gate-way to the historic downtown area.

The $86 million project will replace the existing I-5/Ortega Highway interchange and increase the traffic-carry-ing capacity of the bridge over the freeway.

“These improvements will relieve congestion at one ofOrange County’s busiest traffic chokepoints, making drivingmuch less stressful for motorists,” said Caltrans DirectorMalcolm Dougherty.

The existing on- and off-ramps at the interchange will alsobe widened, a new northbound I-5 on-ramp from the OrtegaHighway will be built, and the highway will be realigned toreroute westbound drivers from Ortega onto Del ObispoStreet.

Since 2004, the average daily traffic volume at the inter-section has risen from 71,000 to nearly 100,000.

The project, which is expected to take two years to com-plete, is a partnership between Caltrans, the Orange CountyTransportation Authority (OCTA) and the city of San JuanCapistrano. It is funded by the State TransportationImprovement Program ($47 million); Proposition 1B ($31million); OCTA’s Measure M; San Juan Capistrano ($4 mil-lion); and Orange County ($4 million).

“We are very pleased to partner with the state, county andcity on a project that will bring significant relief to those wholive, work and visit San Juan Capistrano,” said OCTAChairman Greg Winterbottom. “Improving Ortega Highwayis another positive example of government at all levels work-ing together toward a common goal.”

Along with the traffic benefits, more landscaping will beplanted to attract visitors to historic San Juan Capistrano.

“Ten years in the planning, the start of the I-5/OrtegaHighway Interchange Project is finally here,” said SanClemente Mayor John Taylor. “It will transform the flow oftraffic on and off the freeway. When completed, San JuanCapistrano will have a new entrance to our historic city.”

Structural Integrity Issues...

San Fransisco-Oakland Bay BridgeBolt Problems Questioned Years AgoBy Jason DearenASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Officialsin charge of building a new easternspan of the San Francisco-OaklandBay Bridge repeatedly questioned thework and quality control of companiesinvolved in making long seismic safetybolts that broke while being tightened.

In March, a third of the 96 boltsfailed, and transportation officials saidit could take months to find the causeand fix the problem, meaning thescheduled Labor Day opening of thenew, $6.3 billion span could be in jeop-ardy.

Hundreds of pages of documentsreleased to news media by theCalifornia Department ofTransportation show its inspectorsfound structural integrity issues withsome of the bolts several years ago,before they were installed.

The documents were unclear aboutwhether issues flagged by Caltrans’own inspectors in 2007 and 2008 wereremedied before the bolts were deliv-ered and installed. The inspectors notedthat the bolts failed elongation tests forstructural integrity and said they wereconcerned about the quality of work bya company that galvanized the bolts toprevent corrosion.

Inspectors said bolts made byPainesville, Ohio-based Dyson Corp.had failed to meet certain standardsduring testing on three occasions.

Andrew Gordon, a Caltransspokesman, said the agency would notcomment during an ongoing investiga-tion into why the bolts failed. DysonCorp. also has said it will not commentduring the probe into the bolt failures.

The bridge’s main contractor,American Bridge Fluor, did not returna call seeking comment.

Metallurgists said the documentscontained no clear explanation aboutwhy the bolts cracked, but they sug-gested the cause was likely a conflu-ence of missteps during manufactureand installation.

Among the most likely problemsCaltrans and experts have highlighted:

• Galvanizing such large bolts — 17to 24 ft. (5 to 7.3 m) long — couldincrease the probability of internalmicro-cracks, which wouldn’t neces-

sarily be caught by standard construc-tion industry testing.

• Mistakes in heat-treating, whichwas repeated due to inadequate paper-work, could have introduced micro-cracks near threads of the bolts.

• Hydrogen, which is known tomake steel brittle and subject to break-ing, could have infected the steel dur-ing manufacturing and been sealed intothe bolts by the zinc coating appliedduring galvanizing.

• The bolts may have been acciden-tally tightened beyond the maximumallowable amount, causing them tosnap.

“This is most likely a perfect stormsituation,’’ said David Xu, a mechani-cal engineer and metallurgist atBerkeley Engineering and ResearchInc. “A lot of these factors alone mightnot have caused this issue, but togethermost likely could have pushed it overthe edge.’’

The threaded bolt and nut assembliesconnect the bridge deck to columns andrun through a giant shock absorbercalled a shear key. It’s a massive con-crete and steel structure that helps con-trol sway during an earthquake.

The problem bolts were made in abatch in 2008. Another batch from2010 has been installed and Caltranshas reported no failures in those bolts.

In October 2008, Caltrans admon-ished Dyson after finding that a testsample of bolts did not meet elongationrequirements, a measure of the bolts’structural integrity.

“Non-compliance elongation is notsomething I would let pass,’’ Xu said,noting the testing showed one bolt wasnearly 2 percent under the requiredamount.

“That’s a pretty big deal,’’ he said While three sampled bolts were just

under the required numbers, Caltransnoted that it was the third such instancewith Dyson since 2007. The agency didnot provide statistics on earlierinstances.

Documents show Dyson’s fix was torequest that Caltrans accept the non-compliant bolt tests “as is.’’ The docu-ments did not include a reply fromCaltrans to the request.

“What boggles my mind is that thiswas the third time this happened withDyson, and we don’t have records for

two previous failed tests,’’ Xu said.“What happened to those?’’

The records show Caltrans inspec-tors also identified other issues withDyson and its subcontractors.

Art Galvanizing Works, which putthe protective zinc coating on the bolts,was criticized by inspectors for usingapproximate time guidelines forbathing the bolts, which Xu said canaffect the integrity of the galvanizing.

“The procedure appears to functionpurely by ‘seat of the pants’ judgmentby galvanizing operators,’’ wroteVenkatesh Iyer, a Caltrans structuralmaterials specialist who inspected thesite.

The inspector also found that ArtGalvanizing comingled rods with ade-quate coating thickness with insuffi-ciently coated rods.

“Art Galvanizing Works does nothave necessary quality control,’’ Iyersaid in the report.

Adrian Klein, the company’s owner,said she had been told by Dyson not tocomment while the investigation wasopen.

Robert Ritchie, a metallurgist atLawrence Berkeley NationalLaboratory, said he thinks a mixture ofevents contributed to the failure of thebolts. If galvanizing was not done prop-erly, he said, some corrosion couldhave entered the bolts. And problems indouble heat treatment could have creat-ed a higher strength steel than required,which would create more brittleness.

Ritchie said the construction indus-try is not required to conduct fracturetests on the bolt threads — an areawhich is thinner and more at risk offailure than the rest of the bolt.

The failed elongation tests thatCaltrans highlighted in its documentswould not have detected cracks withinthe threaded area, Ritchie said.

Ritchie said that if a tougher stan-dard of testing were required, any frac-turing within the bolts would have beendiscovered before installation.

Now, with many of the failed boltslocated beneath a concrete cap, theycannot be easily replaced, making a fixmore time-consuming and expensive.

Montana Highway ProjectsCould Create 13,500 Jobsin Montana will create 13,500 jobs.

“It’s an economic catalyst in Montana,and the jobs are critical to the constructionworkers, especiallyin the crafts,’’Ekblad said.

The jobs are cov-ered by the Davis-Bacon Act, whichrequires contractorsand subcontractorsto pay local prevail-ing wages on publicworks projects.They also usuallyoffer health insur-ance and pensionbenefits, Ekbladsaid.

Tooley said some of the construction proj-ects help the local economy beyond the jobsthe initial work creates.

For example, the recent construction ofthe Custer Avenue interchange in Helena

was a $21 million project that Tooley saidhas drawn businesses to the area of the inter-change, including some businesses that arenew to Helena.

As part of its work this summer, the DOTplans to spend$500,000 inboth theMissoula andBillings areasto improve theinterstate off-ramp signagein an effort toprevent intoxi-cated driversfrom drivingonto the inter-state in thewrong direc-tion. Both areas

of the state have seen fatal crashes due towrong-way drivers.

Doosan DXB130H, DXB190HBreakersIncrease ProductivityThe Doosan DXB130H and DXB190H

hydraulic breakers feature an energy recoverysystem that increases strike power for maximumproductivity. The nitrogen-powered breakers areequipped with an upper/lower suspension systemthat isolates the power unit from the housing,making it an ideal fit for a variety of demandingapplications, according to the manufacturer.Delivering up to 600 blows per minute, the

2,822-lb. (1,280 kg) DXB130H is designed foruse with excavators in the 16.5 to 24 ton (15 to 22t) weight range, specifically the DoosanDX180LC, DX190W and DX210W. Rated in the3,000 ft.-lb. impact energy class, the DXB130Hrequires a hydraulic flow rate of between 23.8and 37 gal. (90 and 140 L) per minute.�The 3,698-lb. (1,677 kg) DXB190H is

designed for use with excavators in the 23 to 34ton (21 to 31 t) weight range, which includes theDX225LC, DX235LCR, DX255LC andDX300LC Doosan excavators. The DXB190H israted in the 6,000 ft.-lb. impact energy class andrequires a hydraulic flow rate of between 31.7and 47.5 gal. (120 and 180 L) per minute.The DXB190H is engineered with Doosan’s

two-speed control, which also is available on theDXB260H breaker. With two speeds, theDXB190H breaker frequency can be manuallyadjusted between low and high frequency set-tings. This allows the operator to match the

breaker impact rate to the working conditions foroptimized productivity.The energy recovery system captures the pis-

ton’s rebound energy and uses it to increase strikepower, maximizing performance. At the sametime, the main control valve system optimizesstrike power. Blank-fire protection is standard onboth the DXB130H and the DXB190H, and isaccomplished by using a cushion of oil at the baseof the piston, which reduces the metal-to-metalcontact in case of a blank fire situation.�Thebreakers’ suspension system extends excavatorwork group life by absorbing harmful vibrationsand stress waves. Also, a main valve designreduces hydraulic pressure peaks that can reducepump life, crack excavator work group welds andcause system overheating.The cradle-mounted grease station delivers

continuous grease flow, reducing bushing andtool wear while minimizing maintenance costsand downtime. The DXB130H and DXB190Hbreakers also come with a mounting cap, auxil-iary hydraulic hoses, two moil points, toolboxand a nitrogen checking device. A one-year limit-ed warranty also comes standard. In addition tothe general purpose moil, working tools availablefor the DXB130H and DXB190H include a blunttool, a chisel and a pyramidal or “nail” point.�For more information, visit

www.doosanequipment.com.

With two speeds, the DXB190H breaker frequency can be manually adjust-ed between low and high frequency settings. This allows the operator tomatch the breaker impact rate to the working conditions for optimizedproductivity.

Ames Builds Bridges 6,000 Feet Up in Arizona MountainsThe new section is 3 mi. (4.8 m) long

(it has rubberized asphalt) and has sixnew concrete bridges (two highwaybridges spanning the 100 ft. deep canyonand four wildlife crossings — single-span bridges for elk, deer and other ani-mals to use). The project also is improv-ing existing drainage systems, providingadditional fencing to protect elk andother wildlife, and bringing in new sig-nage, striping and guardrails.SR 260 serves as the principal route

for Phoenix residents seeking to escapethe heat to visit the nearby mountains.The project began in October/November2010 and should be complete this June.The first major bridge is a five-span

650 ft. (198 m) long bridge and the oneunder construction is a four-span 400-ft.(122 m) long bridge.“The wildlife crossings are working

very well and have greatly reduced theamount of accidents,” said Bilow, whosefirm’s headquarters are in Minnesota.“The new fencing helps to funnel the ani-mals towards the crossings.”The old section had no bridges and

rebuilding the road required seriousblasting (conducted by Ames crews) tocreate a new road base — more than 1.5million cu. yds. (1.15 million cu m) ofmixed geological rock was loosened andremoved from the site. The pavementfrom the old road, 16,000 tons (14,515 t),was milled up and blended with newmaterials for the base course.Because Doubtful Canyon is part of a

national forest, managing environmentalconcerns are an important part of theproject. Ames had to clear 82 acres (33

ha) of woods, primarily pines and wasrequired to save as many trees as possiblefor replanting after the work is complete.“We salvaged a significant amount of

trees and set up a nursery,” said Bilow,pointing out that Arbor Car Specialistwas brought in for this work. “Once thenew road bed was completed, layingdown new lanes began, but it is thebridge construction that is posing themajor challenges — especially gettingequipment down to the canyon’s bottom.“On top of that,” continued Bilow,

“we are within a quarter-mile of animpaired waterway and there are envi-ronmental restrictions. We had to imple-ment erosion control measures and wehad a full-time erosion control managerto make sure that we weren’t putting any-thing into that area. We also had to domonitoring and testing every time wehad a one-quarter inch of rain or snow.”Temporary roads were established

using an excavator and bulldozer to bringthe equipment down in order to drill thefour bridge piers.“Even the cranes had to be brought

down in sections and then assembled,”said Bilow. “When we finished our work,we graded the roads, planted trees andmade the area look as natural as possible.The bridges were the critical path. Forthe second bridge, the substructure isdone and they just have to do the capsand the bridge deck.”Ames is working with many stake-

holders, including representatives fromthe national forest — who attendedweekly meetings and participated in theplanning — tree clearing and replanting,placing rock and other materials, etc.), a

nearby Boy Scout ranch, state game andfish officials (because of the wildlifecrossings) and federal authorities.Because the project exceeded $20 mil-lion, these officials reviewed all changeorders and had to give their approvals.Managing traffic also was a major

issue, which affected work schedules.“We couldn’t impact traffic from noon

on Friday until 9 a.m. Monday and evenduring the day, it is pretty heavily trav-eled,” said Bilow, “so a lot of materialended up being moved at night. ADOTunderstood the many challenges we werefacing and as long as you had all yoursafety procedures and traffic controldevices in place, we were fine.”As a company, Ames primarily uses

Caterpillar equipment which it purchasesfrom company dealerships in the manystates where it operates. On this project itwas using six 631 scrapers, one D10bulldozer, three 773 haul trucks, several375 excavators, and a 988 loader. TheGroves 350 ton crane used for the projectwas rented from Southwest Crane.“We have a great agreement and rela-

tionship with Caterpillar and have beenusing their equipment for the past 50years,” said Bilow.In the Phoenix area, Ames purchases

its equipment from the local Empire CATdealership.Stuart Jansa has been the project man-

ager for the Doubtful Canyon project forthe past year and has about 30 workerson site. Scott Nielson is the Ames equip-ment manager for the region and theonsite mechanic is Mark Brooks, whohas two or three mechanics at the work

The first major bridge is a five-span 650 ft. (198 m) long bridge and the one under construction is a four-span 400-ft. (122 m) long bridge.

Ames Construction crews are completing the laststage of the $29 million Doubtful Canyon WideningProject, an Arizona Department of Transportation(ADOT) project located at an altitude of 6,000 ft.(1,829 m) in the Tonto National Forest in GilaCounty, Ariz.

While being in the mountains avoids the desertheat and dust, it raises other issues for equip-ment maintenance.

Ames has an equipment depot set up for mainte-nance work, storage of parts, tools, fuel and var-ious oils.

As a company, Ames primarily uses Caterpillarequipment, which it purchases from companydealerships in the many states where it operates.

Dynapac’s fifth-generation CA2500 through CA4000mid-range soil compactors can be equipped with multiplelevels of compaction control from the basic compactionmeter with new active bounce control technology to the fullcompaction optimizer. With the needs of road builders inmind, the range is ready to be paired with Dynapac’sIntelligent Compaction solution, the compaction analyzer.

Design engineers worked to place these machines at thecenter of a system covering the three stages required for opti-mum results on a project: pre-rolling preparation, perform-ance during rolling and post-rolling “validation,” whichincludes activities such as documentation for quality controland for acceptance.

The operator takes charge of the CA-Series roller fromeither an open platform or a climate controlled comfort cabwith a seat that allows up to 180 degrees of movement in uni-son with the steering column and display cluster. Allmachine functions are at the operator’s fingertips and com-fort is further enhanced by the tilt steering wheel andadjustable seat. Loss of traction, even in the toughest condi-tions, is swiftly counteracted by an easy-to-use toggling gearshifting system, or with an optional passive anti-spin tractionsystem.

Preparation StageAccording to Shawn Cheney, Dynapac vice-president and

business line manager, the preparation stage morefully supports “project planning.” He explainedthat equipping rollers with the DynapacCompaction Analyzer and GPS allows opera-tors to make a pre-compaction pass to chartground conditions. The pass determines theproperties of the material to becompacted and also will revealweak areas before rolling starts.

For preparation at theoffice, before machinesare even sent to a jobsite, Dynapac’sCompBase softwareprovides detailedcompaction plan-ning and productioninformation forDynapac machines ona wide range of unboundmaterials. A project managercan input the machine model,material type, its thickness and thedegree of compaction desired andCompBase will help determine the com-paction effort necessary to achieve it, rec-

ommend amplitude settings, rolling speed and number ofpasses for optimum performance.

The software also provides information on the expecteddepth effect and density that should be achieved after anygiven number of passes. Optimizing compaction effort,Cheney said, saves fuel for lower cost-per-compacted yardand reduces overall environmental impact.

Performance StageDuring compaction, or the performance stage, the

Dynapac compaction meter and compaction analyzer pres-ent continuously updated information to the operator’s dis-play screen. Cheney said the operator always sees the densi-ty of the material being compacted and the exact position ofthe roller in relation to a selected reference line and can directadditional compaction energy to specific areas as required.

The Dynapac CA rollers in this mid-range class have stat-ic linear loads of 140 to 250 lb./in. (25 to 45 kg/cm) withamplitudes of 2.0 or 1.8 mm / 0.8 mm. Cheney said the opti-mization of each machine’s linear load relative to the vibra-tory force applied maximizes depth effect, meaning highervolume capacity for compaction with fewer passes. Anadded benefit of equipping the roller with Dynapac’s com-paction meter is the new “active bounce control,” whichstops unnecessary wear on the roller and prevents material

damage from over-compaction.

Validation StageDynapac’s documenta-

tion system stores infor-mation from the com-paction analyzer (DCA-S)for later analysis.Performance efficiency canbe studied back in the

office. High qual-

ity documentation can be generated for quality assurance andacceptance inspection requirements. Results from qualitycontrol can be collected together in one system using datafrom the acceptance inspection.

Engine, Operating CostEngine offerings for the CA2500 through CA4000 rollersvary by size but include the customer’s choice of either

Cummins four- or Deutz six-cylinder diesels, bothinterim Tier IV certified. These machines featureDynapac’s innovative cross-mounted engine witheasy-open hood to provide unparalleled service andmaintenance access. Customers who choose the anti-spin traction package

will benefit from the Dynapac ECO mode fuel savingsystem, ensuring that the roller does not consume morepower than needed at any time. ECO mode minimizes bothfuel consumption and CO2 emissions.For more information, visit www.dynapac.us.(This story also can be found on Construction Equipment

crete slipform pavers lay curb andgutter, barrier, sidewalk, V-ditch,special applications and slabs.Both of these machines can bequickly configured on site for left-or right-side pour-ing.

The SP 15 and SP25 accept the newAutoPilot fromWirtgen, a GPS-based system thatensures high preci-sion and optimumefficiency in slip-form paving, regard-less of whetherstraight profiles,highly complexcurved paths, orclosed profile con-figurations need tobe placed, accordingto the manufacturer.

Wirtgen SP 15The SP 15 has a

maximum pavingwidth of 6 ft. (1.8m), maximum barrier/parapetplacement height of 4 ft., 3 in. (1.3m), and a maximum operatingweight of 28,500 lb. (12,927 kg). Ithas best-in-class trimming capaci-ty, quick onsite changes for left orright side pouring, job site mobili-ty, and pours a tight, smooth radiuswith all-track steering and posi-tioning, according to the manufac-turer.

The SP 15 also features an Ecomode, which matches engine rpmto machine power requirements,thus saving fuel and reducingemissions.

The SP 15 slipform paver has aheavy-duty design for tough day-to-day operation, increasedmaneuverability, and ease of oper-ation. It’s an ideal choice for pour-ing offset profiles and for sidewalkup to 6 ft.

The SP 15 owes its broad rangeof capabilities to the highly flexiblearrangement of its mold and trackunits, as the great variety of setupoptions make the machine adapt-able to most job site conditions.

Different-profile molds can bemounted on the left or right side of

the paver without the need fortime-consuming machine conver-sions. The two front track units canbe chosen in pivot design, whilethe rear track unit can be chosenwith mechanical or hydraulic

adjustment to either side.The flexibility of the SP 15 is

enhanced by options such as trim-mer, concrete feeding via belt con-veyor or auger conveyor, and elec-tric or hydraulic vibrators. The

compact, overall dimensions of theSP 15 allow for easy transport.

Wirtgen SP 25The SP 25 has a maximum

paving width of 12 ft. (3.6 m), andmaximum barri-er/parapet place-ment height of 6.5ft. (1.9). It alsofeatures quickonsite changes toleft or right sidepouring.

The machine’smodular designallows for a widearray of applica-tions with eitherthree or fourtracks. It featuresan Eco mode,which matches

engine rpm to machine powerrequirements, thus saving fuel andreducing emissions. Its maximumoperating weight is 44,000 lb.(19,958 kg), depending on config-uration and application.

Like the SP 15 it also featuresquick onsite changes to left- orright-side pouring. The SP 25 is theideal candidate for a large varietyof special jobs both in the open andin tunnel construction, using eitherstringline or 3D control technology.

Mold changes or conversion ofthe SP 25 from inset to offset con-figuration can be accomplishedquickly and easily on site. Anadvanced electronic steering andcontrol system ensures that profilesare poured with high precision.

Bergkamp’s M1E Paver Combines Two TechnologiesBergkamp Inc., based in Salina, Kan.,

offers the M1E self-propelled continu-ous slurry seal and micro surfacingpaver, which combines two of its tech-nologies to form one productive pave-ment preservation machine. Bergkampequips the only full-size continuousslurry seal and micro surfacing pavermanufactured worldwide with itsEMCAD (electronic mix control anddiagnostic) system that electronicallycontrols production and sends constantfeedback to the operator. All major com-ponent clutches, chains and sprocketson the standard M1 have been replacedwith direct-drive hydraulics to workwith the EMCAD system, reducing thenumber of wear parts and maintenancepoints on the machine. The system tiesmaterial ratios of aggregate, asphaltemulsion, water, additive and finestogether with an electronic signal andautomatically maintains the ratios withfeedback loops. In addition, it electroni-cally self-diagnoses control system orengine problems and displays a simple errorcode, reducing troubleshooting and repairtime. Calibration is simplified with the

EMCAD system, so fewer steps are required

and manual calculations are eliminated. Itdisplays current and average material ratios,total material used and material applicationrates — and can produce on-demand reportsto track production for individual sections of

the job, or the entire job, via an onboardprinter. Operators and owners can evaluatethese printouts and make necessary adjust-ments immediately to more efficiently runthe machine and calculate the bottom line.

“This machine has cut our calibrationtime in half,” said Rusty Price, generalmanager of the Utah-basedIntermountain Slurry Seal branch andowner of an M1E. “And with this technology’s comput-

erized monitoring system, we know thepercentage of each mix ingredient thatgoes onto the roadway at all times. Atany time during or after the job, we canrequest a print out of the system to deter-mine whether the crew is meeting therequired specifications.” The M1E reduces the number of

construction joints on the job byreceiving a constant supply of materi-al while the machine is working. Idealfor all jobs — from residential streetsto main line paving of interstates,including those with strict qualityrequirements — it applies a new slur-ry seal or micro surfacing finish thatcan extend the life of the surface up toseven years, according to the manu-facturer.

WHILE SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM GRASPING THE CONCEPT,THEY’RE SURE NOT HAVING ANY DIFFICULTY GRABBING THE RESULTS.

It’s a rubber tire roller that vibrates with enough centrifugal force to equal the out-put of a 55,000 pound pneumatic. The GW750 handles the toughest HMA mixeswith ease, getting balanced high densities from the top through the bottom of themat. Great on SMA, too! And it provides a sound interlock between new overlaysand profiled surfaces. It’s bonus time!

Check one out at your Sakai dealer today.

Electronic Monitoring Systems Generates Cost Savingssite to handle maintenance issues.“The majority of the repairs and regular

maintenance are done on site,” said Bilow,who added that Ames is bringing in elec-tronic monitoring systems to help with vehi-cle maintenance.“It’s giving us a better utilization of our

equipment and it is generating cost savingsand is extending the lifespan of various com-ponents,” said Nielson, who added vehiclesused for the Doubtful Canyon project arebeing electronically monitored. “The moun-tainous terrain can impact the monitoringsystems, but they work most of the time.When we get into tight areas, communica-tions can be lost for a few minutes.”While being in the mountains avoids the

desert heat and dust, it raises other issues forequipment maintenance.“The snow melted in mid-March, but it

was a factor to be reckoned with and in thesummer you get temperatures up to 95fahrenheit,” said Bilow, “The weather iscomparable to the mid-west. The rock washard on the equipment and that was a wholeextra level of maintenance and awareness.We worked through the winters and we alsohad a lot of rain up there, which has animpact on the crews and equipment.”

When Brooks needs additional mechan-ics, Caterpillar sends help to the site. Crewsare on the job day and night and Brooks isable to have at least one mechanic withevery shift. Ames has an equipment depotset up for maintenance work, storage ofparts, tools, fuel and various oils.“The nearest Caterpillar dealership is two

hours away in Phoenix, which means thatwe have to have a bunch of spare parts onhand at all times,” said Jansa. “Before everyshift the operators do an equipment inspec-

tion checklist and those are turned overimmediately to Brooks, who determineswhich repairs are a priority. The system isworking well and we’re rapidly learningwhich parts wear out faster and that helpedus determine our purchases and repair sched-ules. The winter snow and monsoons anddaily summer rains often shut down overalloperations and delayed repairs.”He added that the repair crews are very

efficient and typically equipment is back onthe job on the same day.

The explosives used for the blasting weresafely and securely stored in a national foreststructure.Nearly 15 subcontractors were brought on

board for the project, including AmericanFence for the Elk Fence; Arizona HighwaySafety for the guard rails, permanent signs,and two tube bridge railings; Asphalt Bustersfor asphalt reclamation; Case Foundation forthe drilled shafts; Combs Construction forasphalt work; Paradise Rebar for rebar sup-ply and placement; Revegetation Servicesfor SWPPP and soil stabilization; Road Safefor barricades and striping; Tpac for girders;and Arbor Care Specialist for the nurseryand landscaping Pre-planning was an important aspect,

especially with so many stakeholders andsubcontractors.“The best thing you can do is to listen to

everybody’s ideas,” said Bilow. “SWPPPmeetings were held weekly to discuss theenvironmental concerns, which went a longways. Potential problems were anticipatedand we had solutions on hand when theyarose. Safety was number one and we had agreat safety record on the project.” CEG
