Howard Street Tunnel Opens Ahead of Schedule

By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

On Sept. 26, 2025, an expanded Howard Street Tunnel reopened in Baltimore, Md.

CSX noted that this historic and transformative more than $450 million infrastructure project will modernize freight rail transportation along the East Coast. The project marks a major milestone in the decades of effort by state, federal and private partners to deliver a long-sought boost to Maryland’s economy and the nation’s supply chain.

“The completion of the Howard Street Tunnel reflects the dedication of our people — a once-in-a-generation achievement that will drive commerce, jobs and growth across Maryland and the East Coast for decades,” said Joe Hinrichs, president and CEO of CSX. “This project reinforces CSX’s position as a high-performing, customer-focused railroad investing for profitable growth.”

The Howard Street Tunnel (HST) stands as a testament to 19th-century engineering and continues to serve as a vital piece of modern infrastructure. Built in 1895 and extended in the 1980s, the brick-lined passage serves as CSX’s

main North-South rail line along the East Coast. As one of the last remaining single-track segments on the CSX network, it represents a unique challenge and infrastructure opportunity on one of America’s busiest freight routes.

VDOT Bundles Projects to Streamline Traffic Along I-81

A large percentage of the I-81/I-77 Interchange Safety Improvements project’s excavation quantity (89,000 cu. yds.) is large rock in the median, where the new road alignment is planned to go.

By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT

Interstate 81 cuts a 325-mi. swath across Virginia from the northwest part of the state, connecting motorists heading for Maryland and Pennsylvania, to the North; it connects drivers traveling southwest to Tennessee. Near Wytheville, this important corridor intersects with Interstate 77 where drivers travel north into West Virginia and south into North Carolina.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has a select team of experts who operate under the banner of “Improve 81.” With an eye on enhancing

safety, reducing congestion and unlocking the region for further economic growth, the team decided to bundle multiple projects together in the Wytheville area.

The Wytheville bundles began in 2024 and are scheduled for completion in 2027.

• Orders Construction has been tasked with replacing three bridges on I-81 in addition to improving traffic flow by extending the acceleration lane at exit 41 (Peppers Ferry Road) to the deceleration lane for the exit to I-81 southbound. The design-build contract is worth $54 million.

• A team from Branch Civil will reconfigure I-77 exit 41 (Peppers Ferry Road) and add an auxiliary lane between southbound I-

Excavation work continues on I-77 where work is under way to improve the exit 41 on and off ramps in Wythe County.

81 exit 73 (Route 11) and exit 72 (I-77 interchange). The Progress Parkway Connector Road also is included in this bundle for a $53.5 million contract.

Robert Baker, VDOT Bristol district’s construction engineer, pointed out an advantage of bundling projects.

“Bundling projects saves money through economies of scale,” he said. “For example, the Progress Park project will remove a large quantity of material, and the project where the contractor is working near exit 41 will have a deficit of material. By bundling projects, the contractor will be able to move the excess material to where it will be valuable on the other project.”

The construction teams on the entire bundle of projects will move some 633,000 cu. yds. of dirt and rock. Later in the projects, paving teams will lay down some 107,000 tons of asphalt using pavers and rollers. The work on the bridges will require more than 414,000 lbs. of steel.

Safety is always a high priority for VDOT projects. However, the contractors faced a difficult safety concern with a large rock formation in the median of the I-81/I-77 part of the project. The rock needed to be removed because it is the site of the new road alignment.

Industrial Tractor Parts Touts Nearly 75 Years of Business

Founded in December 1956, Industrial Tractor Parts (ITP) can trace its roots to Cesar Mevorah, who emigrated from Bulgaria to the United States in the 1940s. In Europe, Cesar had developed expertise in tractor parts during an era when mechanized farming and tracked machines were becoming more common. Forced to flee Eastern Europe during World War II, he arrived in New York City with little more than knowledge of the trade and the determination to start anew.

To support his family, Cesar initially imported a wide range of goods — including Bulgaria’s famed roses and fragrances — until he could bring his wife and daughter to America. The family eventually spent time in Fargo, N.D., where Cesar established his first warehouse and began importing tractor parts in earnest. Later, he returned to Queens, N.Y., where in December 1956, Industrial Tractor Parts was formally founded.

The business began with a small New York office and a Brooklyn warehouse.

Industry Veteran Joins Industrial Tractor Parts in Illinois

Industrial Tractor Parts has welcomed Larry Gindville as the new general manager of its Illinois branch. Gindville, a seasoned equipment industry professional, brings more than two decades of dealer-side leadership experience to the company.

Gindville’s career began in the contracting world before he transitioned to dealerships in 2001. He has held key leadership roles, including vice president and general manager with both Volvo and Komatsu dealer groups, overseeing multiple locations across Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula.

Gindville said his focus will be on “expanding growth” by strengthening customer relationships, improving inventory and expanding the territory this branch can serve.

“We’re a stocking distributor, which sets us apart from competitors who act as middlemen,” he said.

Gindville emphasized that his goal is to continue branding Industrial Tractor Parts in the market as a trusted source for undercarriage and parts, highlighting its nearly 70-year history and long-standing role as a Berco stocking distributor. With his addition — and a growing team in Illinois — Gindville sees significant potential to serve customers across Illinois and surrounding states.

Cesar focused on importing quality tractor and crawler parts and distributing them across the region, laying the foundation for a company that would span generations.

Following Cesar’s passing, the next generation — his son-in-law — took the reins. In the 1960s, he forged what would become a defining partnership. Traveling to Italy, he met with Berco, already a wellregarded name in the undercarriage industry. With little money in hand and his Italian routes, he asked Berco’s leadership to extend credit and trust. Berco agreed, providing containers of parts on consignment — an extraordinary show of faith at the time.

That trust paid off. With Berco’s product line behind it, Industrial Tractor Parts quickly established itself as a premier aftermarket supplier. By the mid-1960s, shipments were coming into New York and a second branch in New Orleans, fueling rapid growth.

For decades since, Berco has remained central to ITP’s business, with its signs displayed proudly at every ITP warehouse.

Fourth Generation: New Era of Growth, Modernization

Nearly three years ago, the company welcomed its fourth generation of family leadership with the arrival of Jack Sitzer. Bringing a fresh perspective and forward-looking mindset, Jack has quickly made an imprint on the organization while continuing to learn from the third generation, his two uncles, whose decades of experience provide both guidance and continuity. Jack’s leadership has not only carried forward ITP’s long-standing tradition of quality and service, but also accelerated its modernization and expansion efforts.

One of his first major initiatives was the implementation of a new ERP system, creating efficiencies across operations and strengthening the company’s ability to scale. Alongside this, he has overseen the recruitment of several new hires, building a stronger team equipped to support growth and innovation. Jack is also spearheading a complete redesign of the company’s website, with integrated e-commerce capabilities currently in development and slated to

Utility Expo 2025 Draws Record Crowd in Kentucky

The Utility Expo shattered attendance records as more than 22,600 utility construction and infrastructure professionals from all 50 states and 59 countries gathered at the Kentucky Exposition Center, Oct. 7-9, 2025.

Spanning 1.5 million sq. ft. of hands-on equipment demos, job site simulations and interactive product displays, the biennial event reaffirmed its place as North America’s largest trade show for utility and infrastructure professionals seeking the latest technologies, equipment and safety solutions. The show unveiled the latest breakthroughs in underground utility, electric transmission, telecom and water/wastewater technologies shaping the future of the industry.

“This year’s Utility Expo set a new benchmark for innovation and handson learning in our industry,” said Brianne Somers. “The remarkable turnout demonstrates the industry’s drive to adopt smarter, safer and more sustainable solutions for utility construction.”

Breakthrough Equipment, Technology Launches

Twenty manufacturers used The Utility Expo 2025 as their launchpad to showcase new utility construction equipment and technology. Highlights included:

• Hyundai Construction Equipment debuted its HT38 compact track loader in North America. The HT38 CTL can lift a .8-cu. yds. standard bucket to a pin height of 10 ft. 9 in.

• Diamond Mowers unveiled four mulching attachments: two drumheads for open and depth control models, a belt drive disc design, and a 50-in.

model for excavators.

• Vermeer showcased the ML180 mini loader which features advanced electricover-hydraulic controls, a suspended undercarriage and air-ride suspension technology.

The ML180 helps address persistent operator fatigue and productivity challenges in traditional stand-on mini loaders.

• John Deere introduced two redesigned compact excavator models: the 17 P-Tier and the 26 P-Tier. Built to John Deere specifications and shaped by extensive customer

feedback and testing, both models feature enhancements that improve versatility and ease of operation.

Attendees took advantage of live demonstrations and test drives, making the show a premier destination for discovering fieldready solutions.

New for 2025, The Quick Pitch Showcase introduced 30 small, mid-sized and new-toshow companies that shared product information and innovations directly with attending media during a special pre-show break-

fast. This early access gave journalists a first look at emerging technologies and products before the show floor opened.

“As a first-time exhibitor at The Utility Expo, the Quick Pitch Showcase was an incredible opportunity for us to introduce our company and products to the media,” said Steve Wojtaszek of 3S Craftings LLC. “It was a welcoming environment that truly set the tone for a successful first show.”

Nittany Tractor & Equipment Celebrates Grand Opening

What once was a 6,500-sq.-ft. facility storing fertilizer on a local family farm housed in Bellefonte, Pa., now boasts an immaculate heavy equipment service shop — showcasing four service bays, parts and a dedicated hydraulic hose area — now known as Nittany Tractor & Equipment.

Located directly off of PA-64 S and just moments from PA-26, Nittany Tractor & Equipment now serves the Bellefonte and surrounding areas with many services, including full preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and diagnostics, component repairs and rebuilds, hydraulic hose production, resident technicians, line boring and more. With nearly two decades of experience brought by each of the company’s factory-trained technicians, coupled with 24/7 service and the latest technology and software to service any heavy equipment make or model, Nittany Tractor & Equipment fills a much-needed gap within the agricultural and construction industries.

“We founded this business not just to sell equipment or provide services, but to fill real gaps in the local market and deliver value where it’s most needed,” said co-owner, Lance Bucha. “That includes bringing essential offerings to the region that were previously unavailable, such as line boring, hydraulic hose production and resident technician opportunities. These services are more than just business operations; they’re about keeping local industries running smoothly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and ensuring that our customers can depend on us when it matters most.”

From Concept to Reality

Within a short 10 weeks, owners Samantha White and Lance Bucha conceived, built and launched Nittany Tractor & Equipment. Together, the two share more than 30 years of industry experience and are wellknown in the area for their knowledge and expertise.

White, who specializes in customer and employee satisfaction, brings years of human resources experience to the table as she manages the office side of the business, including benefits, internal and external communications as well as employee and customer relations.

“My career has always been rooted in a deep passion for people — ensuring that every team member feels valued, supported and empowered,” White said. “From the very beginning, I’ve believed that when you take care of your employ-

Nittany Tractor & Equipment, located in Bellefonte, Pa., is now officially open to the public and offers extensive heavy equipment services and parts.

ees, they, in turn, take care of your customers. This belief has guided every step of my journey and continues to serve as the foundation for everything we do at Nittany Tractor & Equipment.”

White also actively works within the community at a local college by hosting “Nittany Tractor Days,” a training and learning opportunity to students and upcoming technicians interested in the heavy equipment and agricultural fields.

Nittany Tractor & Equipment also works closely with the school to hire interns, so students can obtain real-life professional experiences and true mentorship.

Meanwhile, Bucha manages the operational side of things, by providing first-class service to the company’s customers in every manner — from investing thousands into the best equipment, software and tooling, to making every customer feel valued.

The 6,500-sq.-ft. facility, located in Bellefonte, Pa., offers four service bays.

“We have invested and done a lot to take care of our customers,” he said. “We want to make sure the customers get a family feeling instead of feeling like a number and make sure they are always up and running. We are not trying to be a big corporation; we want to get back to taking care of customers and treating them correctly.” Bucha and White have received immense support from the surrounding community, which made the startup of this organization, in such a short window of time, possible. As a thank you to the community and promotion of their newly established company, Nittany Tractor & Equipment hosted a grand opening event.

Grand Opening

Nittany Tractor & Equipment hosted a grand opening Oct. 3, 2025, at its facility in Bellefonte, Pa. Bucha and White unveiled their new facility, top-of-the line service trucks, including three Ford 550s and an International service truck, and offered food, drinks and even corn hole to the employees, customers, family and friends that gathered.

White spoke to the success of the event as well as the future of the company.

“As we look to the future, I’m filled with gratitude and pride — not only for what we’ve accomplished but for the family we’ve built together at Nittany Tractor & Equipment,” she said. “This journey has never been just about business; it’s about people, relationships and the shared commitment to excellence that unites us all.

“Working alongside Lance [Bucha] has been one of the greatest privileges of my career,” she added. “We balance and complement each other’s strengths — his unwavering commitment to doing ‘the right thing’ and his passion for ensuring that the customer always comes first continually inspire me. Together, we’ve built a company culture grounded in respect, honesty and hard work — values that mirror the spirit of our community and the heart of our family.”

With family front and center, even the smallest staff member of Nittany Tractor & Equipment, eight-year-old and daughter of White and Bucha, Charlee, attended the grand opening event and looks forward to the future ahead.

“I get to take pictures for Nittany Tractor & Equipment — I’m the marketing helper,” she said. “I can’t wait until I can work at NTE.”  CEG

Fifteen Years of ‘I Make America’ Amplifying Industry Voices

Fifteen years ago today, AEM launched the I Make America campaign with one simple goal: to give the 2.3 million men and women of the industry a powerful, united voice for pro-manufacturing policies.

Since then, the campaign has grown into a nationwide grassroots effort with tens of thousands of supporters urging policymakers to help equipment manufacturers do what they do best: invest in their communities, grow their businesses and create more family-sustaining jobs in America.

Launched on a Sept. 29, 2010, in Washington, D.C., with support from television host and manufacturing advocate Mike Rowe, the I Make America campaign began as a rallying cry for the policies needed to fuel the industry and support the 2.3 million men and women who make the equipment that builds, powers and feeds our world.

home. Both initiatives continue to this day, with the latest installment of Through the Lens recently featured in Washington, D.C.’s iconic Union Station.

The campaign’s most ambitious initiative came in 2024 with the launch of the AEM Manufacturing Express: a nationwide, 80stop bus tour that brought I Make America to communities across the country. Featuring interactive exhibits, policy discussion, law-

The campaign has grown into a nationwide grassroots effort with tens of thousands of supporters.

Within just a few years, the I Make America campaign had grown to a community of 30,000 supporters who rallied behind the idea that when the equipment manufacturing industry is strong, America also is strong.

By 2014, the I Make America campaign was in full swing and headed to Las Vegas, Nev., for ConExpo-Con/AGG. AEM staff, along with member company volunteers, manned the I Make America booth and fanned out across the trade show to engage, educate and energize new supporters…and give away a custom-painted 2014 HarleyDavidson Road King to one lucky winner.

Two years later the campaign hit the road with the I Make America Game, an interactive experience designed to educate voters about the manufacturing issues at stake during the presidential election in a fun and engaging way.

In what was to become the inspiration for a much larger initiative, the campaign traveled across the Midwest with a custombuilt I Make America trailer where participants would compete in several construction- and agriculture-themed challenges to gauge their knowledge about the industry.

In 2019 the campaign’s increasing focus on telling the stories of the men and women who make America got a boost with the launch of the Through the Lens photo series and the Behind Every Product documentary series, which features equipment manufacturing workers across America.

These two initiatives have been deployed ever since to tell the amazing stories of the men and women who make America and the small town and communities that they call

maker engagement and the Manufacturing Challenge, the tour added thousands of new supporters during its first year. In 2025, the bus tour rolled on — highlighting the industry’s innovation, workforce and economic impact at the Celebration of Construction on the National Mall in Washington, D.C,. and continuing to Texas for another 22 stops at equipment manufacturers.

“During the past 15 years the I Make America campaign has made a long-lasting impact on everyone who cares about the future of equipment manufacturing in America,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM senior vice president of government and industry relations. “Together with our supporters, we have engaged and educated hundreds of thousands of Americans who will help us change hearts and minds about importance of manufacturing; and we have told the stories of the 2.3 million men and women who make our industry strong and America exceptional. As we look ahead to the next 15 years, the campaign has never been more important to the future of our industry and our country.”

Looking ahead, I Make America is showing no signs of slowing down. The AEM Manufacturing Express will be heading to Louisville, Ky., for The Utility Expo and will spend the rest of the fall continuing to tell the stories of the people that make America ahead of next year’s elections. But with every anniversary that passes, the goal of the campaign remains the same: to give the 2.3 million men and women of the industry a powerful, united voice for pro-manufacturing policies.

First-of-Its-Kind Hook Lift Equipment From Lift-a-Loft Debuts On PA Turnpike

The Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike) has officially deployed new maintenance equipment that will improve safety, increase efficiency and better support access to tunnels and other hard-to-access locations.

Through a partnership with two United States based companies, Lift-a-Loft and SwapLoader, the PA Turnpike added two hook lift-mounted platforms to its fleet, each that can be elevated up to 22 ft. high.

“We are proud to keep raising the bar when it comes to transportation innovation and this industry-first piece of equipment is no different,” said Craig Shuey, chief operating officer of the PA Turnpike. “That success is possible thanks to a workforce eager to find and implement new ways of addressing everyday challenges. This maintenance-initiated project underscores our commitment to being responsible stewards of our customers’ toll dollars, while remaining dedicated to safety and efficiency.”

Workers can raise or lower the platform directly to the height they need and slide the platform outside of the footprint of the vehicle. The larger platform provides more capacity for additional workers, tools or materials, providing more collaboration and fewer trips or adjustments compared to the equipment that was previously used for these tasks.

While other transportation organizations have similar lifts permanently affixed to their trucks, the PA Turnpike’s two new units represent a first-of-their-kind evolution, allowing them to be swapped among existing fleet trucks. Beyond the increase fleet flexibility, swapping lifts has saved approximately $300,000 so far, eliminating the need to buy two new truck cabs and chassis. The equipment also can be effortlessly swapped for deployment across various job sites.

Through a partnership with two United States based companies, Lift-a-Loft and SwapLoader, the PA Turnpike added two hook lift-mounted platforms to its fleet, each that can be elevated up to 22 ft. high.

Leaders to Spotlight Autonomy Tech, More at ConExpo 2026

ConExpo-Con/AGG, North America’s largest construction trade show, announced it will debut the Ground Breakers Stage, a new keynote platform showcasing autonomous tech, sustainable solutions and workforce innovations from global construction leaders.

Keynotes and presentations on the Ground Breakers Stage will be features of the show, occurring in Las Vegas March 3-7, 2026, complementing robust educational programming and more than 2,000 exhibitors across the 2.9 million sq. ft. of exhibit space. Speakers will range from the CEOs of Fortune 100 companies to successful entrepreneurs.

Most importantly, the lift improves workplace safety due to the equipment’s push-out deck extensions, providing a leveled space for PA Turnpike employees to perform elevated work without reaching or twisting, reducing potential injuries or fall risks. Beyond providing better positioning, the new platform features include mounted work lighting, a selfclosing gate, emergency stop system and transmission neutral interlock to prevent drive capabilities at elevation.

The PA Turnpike has five tunnels, most of which were built for the unfinished south Pennsylvania Railroad, along its roadway. They require ongoing maintenance and infrastructure investments, with each supported by its own dedicated employee team.

PA Turnpike Maintenance Fleet Supervisor Von McGee and his team have been working on finding a more efficient method of reaching tunnel ceilings.

“It’s a part of my job that I really enjoy. I’m a fabricator and a mechanic, so these types of projects are really up my alley,” McGee said. “Beyond tunnel work, this new platform can serve multiple functions that maximize its value and provide smarter, cost-effective tools for our maintenance operations.”

McGee envisions the platform enhancing work with light fixtures, bridge work and on tolling equipment under Open Road Tolling. Open Road Tolling is a cashless, free-flowing mode of collecting tolls without traditional toll plazas or toll booths, using tolling equipment mounted on overhead structures — called gantries — located between interchanges. Open Road Tolling launched in January east of Reading and on the Northeast Extension; it goes live across the system in

Employees were trained on the new lift over the summer and are now incorporating it into their work. Since August, crews have been performing annual maintenance work and inspection in tunnels along the Turnpike. Beyond addressing daily issues, tunnel teams perform scheduled maintenance such as cleaning and replacing tunnel system components, drains, grates, lighting, reflective tape and barrier skins, plus testing all fire hydrants and extinguishers. The Lift-a-Loft will be incorporated into some of this work.

For example, it was recently used to replace indication lights at Tuscarora Tunnel.

“It’s the perfect piece of equipment for working on stationary projects that require us to get directly underneath, like some of the lighting in the tunnels,” said Chuck Zeis, an electrician for the Turnpike. “It adds another level of safety.”

This customized platform is the latest innovative solution deployed by the PA Turnpike to advance safety and mobility within its operations. It joins other field solutions, including:

• LaneBlade, created by J-Tech, a custom-made debris removal tool;

• in-house welding to create hard-to-get parts for snowplows, rear bumper equipment, access gate key boxes and vent cap covers;

• portable solar-powered generators with a propane backup;

• a snowplow simulator to support employees’ familiarity and confidence with equipment;

• piloting a rear-facing air horn system to alert distracted motorists if they are approaching a Truck-Mounted Attenuator (TMA) too quickly; and

• Fotokites, tethered drones, to provide live streaming for incident management and traffic studies.

The PA Turnpike’s Maintenance Department is the Commission’s largest, with more than 720 employees and nearly 30 facilities. It operates around-the-clock, 365 days a year, to provide efficient and safe operations of the PA Turnpike system. 

“Autonomous and sustainable technologies are redefining how we build, hire and innovate and ConExpo-Con/AGG is where the industry tests those technologies at scale,” said Dana Wuesthoff, show director at ConExpo-Con/AGG. “The Ground Breakers Stage gives attendees a front-row seat to the ideas and investments shaping construction’s global future.”

Every three years, nearly 140,000 construction leaders gather in Las Vegas to discuss innovation, technological advances, challenges and opportunities impacting the more than $2 trillion United States construction industry. The innovative leaders who will be featured on the Ground Breakers Stage will be announced in the months leading up to ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026.

ARTBA Elects Cat Group President

Anthony ‘Tony’ Fassino Its New Chair

Anthony (Tony) D. Fassino, group president, construction industries, Caterpillar Inc., was elected 20252026 chair of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). The announcement was made during ARTBA’s national convention, held Sept. 28-Oct. 1 in Dallas, Texas.

Fassino, a 30-year company veteran, has extensive expertise in engineering, sales, product development and operations across North America and Asia. Today, he is responsible for a global business that includes earthmoving, excavation, building construction products, global construction and infrastructure, construction industries services and Cat rental and used divisions, along with the segment’s supply management group.

His roster of ARTBA volunteer leadership roles includes serving as senior vice chair (2025), first vice chair (2024) and vice chair-at-large (2021-23). Fassino co-chaired the association’s reauthorization task

force, a 27-member group that developed the industry’s policy proposals for the next federal surface transportation bill due by Oct. 1, 2026. “Moving America Forward: A Blueprint for Strategic Highway & Public Investment” was unanimously approved by ARTBA’s board in May 2025.

At an Oct. 1 ARTBA board meeting, Fassino outlined key issues driving the transportation construction industry’s agenda for the year ahead. He noted these items were consistent with the association’s five-year strategic plan.

Among them:

• Securing robust and timely surface transportation program reauthorization that increases federal highway and public transportation investment to recapture the lost purchasing power from unforeseen inflation surge from 2021 to 2023.

• Pursuing a regulatory structure that supports expanded infrastructure improvements. Fassino said this means pushing for thoughtful solu-

tions on regulations like Buy America expansion and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s proposed heat rule to ensure they do not impose unnecessary requirements, along with ARTBA’s ongoing legal advocacy efforts to stop federal overreach on issues like the Waters of the United States rule.

• Broadening the infrastructure coalition by partnering with the general business community to articulate how strong federal leadership facilitates a national transportation infrastructure network that promotes economic competitiveness, security and prosperity for all Americans.

• Developing a safety and mobility campaign that highlights the ability of infrastructure improvements to enhance daily life for all Americans and ensures that both roadway workers and motorists — with added emphasis on teen drivers — get home safely at the end of each day.

AI Infrastructure Boom Spurs Demand for Site Prep Work

onerous regulation, among many other changes in policy.

With the federal government’s seal of approval, centers continue to be designed and built across the country.

That drive to lead the AI infrastructure race creates many opportunities not only for building contractors but for contractors whose focus is earthwork and site prep. Depending on the scale of the facility, this pre-construction phase can be a considerable undertaking, according to construction software provider Autodesk.

“The site is levelled and cleared to prepare it for construction, then excavations for footings, utility and infrastructure placement begin,” it said.

“Construction begins on sub-floors, and electrical grounding grids are laid to protect equipment,” added Autodesk in a blog post.

The size of the digital facility determines the intensity and detail of the pre-construction phase. A chosen site is leveled and cleared for footings, utility and infrastructure placement.

Site development contractor Muller said the demand for reliable data storage and processing has skyrocketed in recent years. Businesses, government agencies and institutions all rely on data centers to power their operations, the company noted.

As the foundation of the digital economy, data centers require meticulous planning and construction to ensure longterm reliability and performance, it said.

“Building a data center is a complex endeavor that involves multiple considerations.”

That includes every phase, “from site selection to utility installation, and from erosion control to regulatory compliance.”

Data Centers On Hyper Scale

The North American “hyperscale” data center market is set to grow from $9 billion in 2022 to more than $20 billion in 2025, according to Sunbelt Rentals.

A provider of equipment to contractors who specialize in site prep work, Sunbelt wrote in a blog post that new data centers are more than just big buildings.

“They have redundant HVAC systems designed to keep everything cool and dry and backup generators to keep things running in case of a power failure.”

Companies have to factor the effects of climate change into the design and location of new AI centers, Sunbelt continued.

Can it be cooled if average temperatures rise? Must the structure be hardened against extreme weather? Is there reliable, long-term water and power?

“These are questions that affect every phase of construction from design to commissioning,” wrote Sunbelt in a walk though of data center construction phases.

The company suggests that planning helps in ensuring stakeholders have what they need to keep the project on schedule and within budget.

“The first step in any successful data center project is clearly defining the data center design and construction objectives,” said Muller. “This involves understanding the scope of the project, the expected future capacity, and the necessary compliance and security standards.”

Whether the project is for a co-location, cloud or enterprise data center, defining the type and purpose of the facility early on is essential, said the contractor.

“Is it meant to serve a local region, a specific company or a global network? Will it need to expand in the future to accommodate growing storage demands?”

The ideal data center should meet both current and future requirements, said Muller. A critical part of this process involves determining the scalability needs.

This process also should ensure that the design can

Adding Innovation to Site Preparation

As AI expansive data centers become more visible in communities across the country, contractors are staying busy.

In Louisiana, the Richland Parish Data Center project is taking shape with the help of drones outfitted with innovative scanning technology.

Mortenson Construction addressed the issue of underground hazards, including high-pressure gas lines and abandoned wells with the technology. The MagArrow Scan technology uses drones equipped with advanced sensors to detect abnormalities in the earth’s magnetic field.

“This bold, new approach allowed the team to locate metal objects deep underground, such as gas lines and old wells,” said Mortenson. These structures might not be documented or easily found through traditional locating methods, the construction company explained.

“The accuracy of the scan was a lot more

detailed than I thought it was going to be,” said Brian Nelson, senior superintendent II.

According to Mortenson, the scan not only uncovered this hidden gas line but also validated the locations of old irrigation and gas wells.

The irrigation and gas wells were previously inaccurately mapped, so the precision of the scan significantly narrowed down these locations.

Mortenson said it acts as a vital safety check, preventing accidents that could seriously endanger team members and disrupt projects.

“In addition to the scan, the project also employed innovative solutions,” said the construction contractor.

Bridges were installed to allow large equipment to safely traverse over gas lines without applying pressure directly over the gas line.

The pressure could have caused disruptions to the gas lines, resulting in leaks or more cata-

strophic events.

Mortenson said the scan gave the team the precise location to place the bridges.

Jopy Willis, Mortenson general superintendent, described the bridges as multifaceted.

“We’re using them not only to navigate over gas lines but also to cross wetlands, ensuring that our logistics remain efficient and safe.”

The drone scanner’s ability to detect these hazards is not just about safety; it's about efficiency and accuracy, added Mortenson.

“By identifying these underground features, construction teams can plan their projects with greater confidence.”

That’s because these teams know they won't inadvertently hit something dangerous underground.

“This proactive approach to safety and planning is a testament to our team’s commitment to innovation and the well-being of its workers.”

Construction Work Surges as AI Data Center Boom Begins

accommodate growth without disrupting the data center’s operations, it said.

“Additionally, compliance with standards for security, energy efficiency and environmental impact is essential, particularly for government and military projects.”

Budgeting is a crucial part of any construction project, but data centers require special attention due to their scale and complexity, said the company.

“Balancing the budget with the long-term operational needs of the data center facilities is essential to ensuring that the project remains sustainable and efficient over time.”

Choosing the right location for a data center is one of the most critical factors for long-term business success, said Muller.

The site, it said, must meet specific requirements to ensure the data center’s smooth operation and ability to handle expansions.

“A data center requires more than just a large plot of land,” said Muller. “You need to evaluate the proximity to power sources and fiber networks.”

During the site survey and engineering phase, reference points and markers will be staked to guide the construction of everything on the data center site.

“The work starts with existing conditions, including the terrain, structures ad above- and below-ground infrastructure,” said Sunbelt.

The local climate also is a factor, said the site developer, Muller. Zoning laws, permits and environmental regulations also can impact site selection.

Once a site has been selected, proper site development is critical to ensuring a strong foundation for the data center.

In the excavation, grading and erosion control phase, these crews will remove, add, shape and compact soil and prepare it for the foundation.

“That could require a perfectly level base or one with a set slope,” noted the Sunbelt blog post. “Once complete, the general contractor brings in … onsite power and gets ready for pipe and utility line installation.”

Erosion control is a vital consideration for any construction project, but for data centers site stability and regulatory compliance are key concerns, said Muller.

“Without proper erosion control, stormwater runoff can wash away soil, destabilize the foundation, and introduce contaminants into the local ecosystem.”

This can threaten both the integrity of the data center facility and the surrounding environment, said the firm.

“Effective erosion and sediment control measures can prevent costly damage and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.”

Further, data centers depend on access to a robust network of utilities, including power, water and high-speed data connections.

“Utility installation is one of the most critical steps in the pre-construction phase,” said the company.”

Data centers require large amounts of electricity to power both servers and cooling systems. Water may be needed for the cooling system, and reliable fiber networks are essential for data transmission. That’s why both wet and dry utility installations are necessary to support the operations of a data center, said Muller.

Utility installation affects power, gas and water lines as well as underground cables and sewage pipelines.

Data centers require large amounts of electricity to power both servers and cooling systems and water also may be needed for the cooling system. So, both wet and dry utility installations must support operations.

A site utility contractor can determine the exact location, depth and layout of any existing infrastructure.

“They keep the worksite safe while overseeing electrical and plumbing contractors, who install additional underground utilities,” said Sunbelt. “The grading contractor ensures surfaces are level in preparation for pouring the foundation.”

The type of structure to be supported, the soil it will lay on, bedrock depth and environmental risks become critical factors in foundation design.

“Ultimately, a combination of concrete and steel below keeps the structure above stable,” said Sunbelt.

Expanded Howard Street Tunnel Improves Rail Capacity

clearance, while also improving drainage. This work was performed as part of the overall HST project, a key CSX capital improvement initiative. It will eliminate clearance restrictions for double-stack trains along its vital I-95 rail corridor between Baltimore and Philadelphia, as well as from the Port of Baltimore’s Seagirt Marine Terminal Intermodal Container Transfer Facility to consumer markets in the Midwest.

“Not only will this project improve a vital CSX rail corridor, but it will create a ripple effect that will strengthen the Port of Baltimore’s ability to compete with other East Coast ports,” said Ray Hagen, Fay’s deputy project manager. “Its forward-looking improvements are expected to significantly boost productivity at the port and expand freight rail capacity throughout CSX’s rail network.”

Fay noted that HST is an 8,700-ft.-long brick and stone arch tunnel. It had a clearance of approximately 19 ft., which the JV increased to 21 ft. Due to its status as a historic landmark, the structure could not be removed and rebuilt. Instead, the JV excavated the tunnel’s floor to lower the track and installed enormous new pre-cast concrete invert slabs, which will improve the drainage and support the weight of the trains.

Because of space constraints, the JV needed to come up with a customized crane design capable of carrying multiple 20,000-lb. precast concrete invert slabs to be laid along the length of the tunnel bed. The group came up with the initial idea of attaching a gantry crane atop a flatbed railcar, which would allow workers to safely move and efficiently position the slabs on the newly lowered tunnel floor. The final design and machine were the result of the JV’s combined ideas and engineering in collaboration with Kelley Engineered Equipment and Wolf Hills Fabricators.

“The idea was to place a gantry crane on a railcar to create a machine that could lift and carry the enormous weight of the pre-cast sections into the tunnel,” said Thomas Costabile, Skanska’s onsite Construction Manager. “We needed to precast, rather than allowing them to cure inside the tunnel because of CSX’s tight construction timeline. Necessity really is the mother of invention.”

First, the JV envisioned a single-beam gantry crane built on a train car, but due to the cross slopes inside the tunnel, the side load on the beam would not have been able to handle the loading.

“We ended up going with a double-beam system to allow for horizontal curves,” said Ed Chaney, a Fay senior superintendent also involved in the project.

The design allows the crane to extend approximately 30 ft. past the base of the gantry, which makes it possible to set the inverts while also bearing their load.

Powered by electricity from the local grid, he noted that the gantry system is agile and quiet. It also illuminates the tunnel and eliminates the need for diesel generators and trucks transporting loads of equipment and workers in and out of the tunnel. Crews worked around the clock, installing an average of six of approximately 1,190 total segments each day.

The process of placing the concrete invert segments was completed in the following order: all the materials and equipment arrived by rail through the tunnel’s eastern portal. Crews started by excavating the floor of the tunnel, removing the original invert and excavating to the desired depth. To do so, the JV used specialized Mecalac excavators, which

Key Facts of Howard Street Tunnel Expansion

• More than 450,000 man hours worked to date, peaking at 175 field craft, 20 subcontractors and peak salaried supervision staff of 40 engaged in the expansion.

• 233 consecutive days of 24/7 work in the tunnel (Feb. 5 through Sept. 25).

• 1,128 dewatering wellpoints installed.

• 1,188 PCIS (precast invert slabs) placed, weighing in at nearly 10 tons each.

• 14,276 linear ft. of wall drain installed.

• More than 4,000 cu. yds. of concrete placed.

• More than 24,000 cu. ft. of grout placed (mixed by hand).

• More than 25,000 cu. yds. of excavated invert material removed from within tunnel.

• More than 78,000 linear ft. of temporary electrical cable installed.

they chose to work within the confined space.

“The excavators each have a unique two-piece boom with a low profile,” said Chaney. “They’re designed to swing in a nine-foot, seven-inch radius.”

All excavated material was then hauled out in crawler carriers on a rotating chassis to eliminate backing trucks through the tunnel. Once outside the tunnel, the material was transferred into 40-cu.-yd. side-dump gondola cars for the trip to the excavated material placement area, roughly three miles from the tunnel.

While nearly double the length of the average rail car at approximately 120 ft. long, the gantry’s structure was com-

pact enough to navigate the curves in the tunnel. The precast slabs were delivered beneath the back end of the crane, which lifted the concrete invert slabs and carried them through the crane to the front, past the base of the gantry. Then, the crane set three slabs, one at a time, in the excavated area. Workers then grouted each section through grout ports to ensure a sound foundation and installed rebar on the sides to cast concrete wing structures. Once those cured, the track was bolted in place, the crane advanced forward, and the whole process was repeated.

VDOT, Transurban Launch Safety Campaign Along I-495

With construction activities on northern Virginia’s new interstate express lanes increasing and now concentrated in the median along the project’s corridor, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and its I-495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (495 NEXT) project partner, Transurban, have launched a driver safety campaign.

One of the world’s leading toll-road developers and operators, Transurban was established in Australia in 1996. It currently operates 22 toll roads, including in the Washington, D.C., Montreal, Canada areas and in its home country cities of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

The “Closer Than You Think” awareness campaign in Northern Virginia emphasizes to drivers that active roadway construction and hundreds of workers are directly adjacent to the Capitol Beltway traffic.

The program will leverage ads on radio, as well as various social media platforms, throughout September and into October as “back to work and school” traffic resumes and drivers adjust to post-summer travel patterns.

As crews are now actively building four new express lanes (two lanes in each direction) in the center portion of the roadway, slowing down and remaining alert when driving through the 495 NEXT work zone remains critical to ensure the safety of travelers and workers alike.

The new, extended express lanes are scheduled to open by the end of 2025.

The $660 million 495 NEXT project is a public-private partnership between the Commonwealth of Virginia and Transurban. Lane Construction in Charlotte, N.C., is the design-build contractor for the road project.

“VDOT, along with our project partner and contractor partners, is laser-focused on finishing the 495 Express Lanes northern extension — and doing so safely — so that travelers in northern Virginia and the larger area can begin experiencing relief on this heavily congested section of the Beltway,” said Michelle Shropshire, the transportation agency’s director of megaprojects.

“Our most important priority is the safety of people traveling through and working within this corridor,” she said. “We are asking drivers to partner with us in keeping each other safe by slowing down, staying alert and eliminating distractions when traveling through the 495 NEXT project area.”

With 495 NEXT Crews Close By, Drivers Must Stay Alert

Work on the new I-495 express lanes will be ongoing through the fall of 2025 during daytime and nighttime hours, as well as over some weekends. Construction activities include:

• demolishing retired pavement, jersey barriers and old piers in the highway median for the replaced bridges at Live Oak Drive, Georgetown Pike and Old Dominion Drive;

• building new drainage infrastructure;

• paving new express lanes and installing lane markings;

• finishing construction of new express lane ramps; and

• installing roadside and overhead signs and new tolling and traffic management systems infrastructure and equipment.

In addition to building the express lanes, crews are working to complete the three Beltway bridges that were rebuilt and performing any finishing work that remains on the four bridges that were rehabilitated. Work also is under way to finish the installation of new, upgraded noise walls along the corridor, according to information from VDOT.

“At Transurban, our number one focus is always safety, both for our crews and for drivers,” said Beau Memory, president of Transurban North America. “That is why we are proud to partner with VDOT to promote roadway safety as our team advances 495 NEXT. Throughout the construction corridor, teams will be working very close to active roadways; this campaign will help remind travelers about the importance of staying alert and cautious behind the wheel — because it is [everyone’s] responsibility to keep safe.”

VDOT planned the 495 NEXT project to extend the existing 495 Express Lanes 2.5 mi. to the north from the Dulles Corridor Interchange to the George Washington Memorial Parkway Interchange in the vicinity of the American Legion Bridge over the Potomac River into Maryland.

It also was designed to provide new and improved connections at both the Dulles Corridor and the G.W. Parkway.

Other project benefits, which are planned to be open and/or complete in 2026, include 4 mi. of new bicycle and pedestrian connections (including a shared-use path parallel to I-495 from Lewinsville Road to near Live Oak Drive), revegetation and creation of a new Scott’s Run Nature

parking area.

Coordination With Local Rail Lines Enables Early Completion

CSX coordinated with a nearby railroad via a joint-use agreement, enabling CSX trains to operate on neighboring tracks during construction. With uninterrupted 24/7 access to the tunnel and no interference from live rail traffic, the JV could proceed without delays. The gantry crane solution also played a big role in efficiently advancing the work, and the project finish date was over a full year ahead of the original schedule.

“The JV partners cut two years off this challenging project, with CSX accepting the substantially complete work in midSeptember,” said Hagen.

This project is a progressive design-build, a collaborative project delivery method in which the design-build team — the JV, plus designers Hatch and WRA — was selected by CSX based on technical qualifications and a preliminary price estimate. Then, the design-build team worked with CSX to further define their needs through a transparent process, which helped establish a guaranteed maximum price at approximately 60 percent design development.

This project works in one direction; all materials and equipment arrive by rail through the eastern portal, and all excavated material is taken out through the western portal.

and once additional clearance projects are complete in early 2026, a key I-95 corridor bottleneck will be cleared, and doublestacked intermodal trains will move through Baltimore.

“With this upgrade, CSX builds on its record of having the fastest and most efficient freight rail route along the I-95 corridor, giving customers a clear service advantage from Florida to the Northeast,” the release stated. The project also unlocks new lane-conversion opportunities, enabling shippers to shift even more freight from highway to rail.

The project came about through a partnership between CSX, the State of Maryland, the Federal Railroad Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The team noted that this alternative approach adds a level of partnership and results in a well-planned solution and a mutually agreed price instead of basing the cost on the preliminary price estimates. This level of collaboration and teamwork has helped overcome many of the challenges the project encountered, including unanticipated areas of hard rock.

completed, it is expected to have a lifespan of 75 years.

Most of the work on this project was centered in the tunnel. Once the project is fully

CSX reported that the tunnel was originally built from 1890-95, serving as a vital artery in America’s transportation network for more than 125 years. A press release stated that with the tunnel project completed,

The overall project is expected to provide the East Coast with seamless double-stack capacity on rail. Double-stacking is a more cost-effective way to transport freight by rail compared to trucks, reducing congestion along the busy I-95 corridor, and delivering environmental benefits with less emissions. It will also increase business at the Port of Baltimore by approximately 160,000 containers annually and generate more than 13,000 new jobs.  CEG

Industrial Tractor Parts Reaches Maine to Texas, Beyond

launch in early 2026. This will provide customers with faster, more seamless access to ITP’s extensive product catalog and enhance their overall purchasing experience.

Operational expansion has been another hallmark of his leadership. Jack directed the completion of a new warehouse in St. Augustine, Florida, extending ITP’s reach in the Southeast and reinforcing its ability to deliver quickly across key markets.

He has also driven initiatives around greater branding on parts and products, aligning with his broader vision of strengthening ITP’s identity as not only a trusted distributor, but also an emerging brand in its own right.

Jack’s early tenure represents more than just incremental improvements—it marks the beginning of an overall modernization strategy for ITP. From technology upgrades and infrastructure investment to brand-building and talent development, his initiatives

have positioned the nearly 70-yearold family enterprise for its next phase of growth. While these changes are already reshaping the company, they represent just the start of Jack’s long-term impact on the future of Industrial Tractor Parts.

From past to present to future, a key differentiator for ITP remains its refusal to compromise on quality. The company partners only with manufacturers it has trusted for decades, often testing products in the field before widespread adoption. These strong supplier relationships — built over 20 years or more — enable ITP to respond quickly to issues, collaborate directly with factory leadership, and continually ensure the highest standards. From Cesar Mevorah’s first warehouse in Fargo to today’s nine-warehouse national network, the company has stayed true to its roots as a family-driven enterprise. With global partnerships, a service-first culture, and renewed leadership, ITP looks forward to many more successful decades ahead.

Undercarriage Parts

From the 1960s through today, ITP’s core product line has remained consistent: undercarriage parts for dozers, loaders and excavators. The catalog covers:

• Track chains

• Track shoes

• Bottom and carrier rollers

• Sprockets and segment groups

• Idlers

• Rubber road liners for asphalt and street work

• Rubber tracks

• Ground engaging tools

• Track adjusters and assemblies

Each of ITP’s nine warehouses is equipped with a track press, allowing custom assembly of track groups for machines as large as a D8 or D9 class crawler.

Dealers, Repair Shops, Customer Service

While many of ITP’s customers have historically been independent repair shops — especially in the 1980s and 1990s — the company also supplies OEM dealers.

According to ITP, what sets it

apart, beyond price, is service. The company prides itself on answering the phone at any time of day, providing in-depth research for obscure parts, and sourcing components globally when needed.

As one example, a Pennsylvania customer required a hard-to-find idler unavailable in North America. ITP tracked it down through a long-standing Italian supplier, imported it and delivered it within six weeks — something the customer could not have achieved without ITP’s global connections.

Expansion, Reach

Today, Industrial Tractor Parts maintains nine strategically placed warehouses to serve contractors, repair shops and dealers across the United States. They are:

• Long Island City, N.Y.

• New Orleans, La.

• Dolton, Ill.

• Scarborough, Maine

• Houston, Texas

• Tulsa, Okla.

• Memphis, Tenn.

• Latrobe, Pa.

• St. Augustine, Fla. These locations allow ITP to respond quickly to demand across key markets.

Diversification: Beyond Undercarriage

While undercarriage remains the cornerstone, ITP is steadily expanding into ground engaging tools (G.E.T.), including bucket teeth, adapters and pins as well as rubber tracks. The company acknowledges this segment is complex and requires careful buildout, but early investments are already paying off, according to ITP.

Additionally, ITP is beginning to introduce its own house brand of products under the ITP label — providing customers with another trusted alternative alongside Berco and other manufacturers. The longterm goal: establish ITP as not just a distributor, but also a brand in its own right.

Efficient Technologies Meet Quality Demands Head-On

Road construction contractors must meet increasingly stringent environmental and quality standards in asphalt paving, while remaining competitive.

With InLine Pave and SprayJet, road paver specialist Vögele offers two methods that enable faster and more efficient realization of paving projects with lower overall costs.

Technologies

Project completion deadlines in road construction are tight, especially when they involve the construction or rehabilitation of busy arterial roads. At the same time, contracting authorities demand the very best in paving quality.

Additional pressures arise from stricter environmental requirements and calls for resourcefriendly construction methods — while construction contractors struggle with constantly rising material and labor costs.

InLine Pave and SprayJet technologies are designed to counter these problems, according to Vögele. The two paving methods are suitable for a wide range of applications and have a proven track record earned in years of successful use around the globe, according to Vögele.

Binder Course, Surface Layer in Single Pass

The InLine Pave concept is particularly suitable for the construction and rehabilitation of freeways and expressways — as well as wherever roads need to be reopened to traffic again as soon as possible, according to Vögele.

The machines work “in-line”, one behind the other, whereby the mobile feeder is loaded with the binder course or surface layer mix and transfers it to the Super 21003(i) IP binder course paver.

With its AB 600 TP2 Plus high-compaction screed, this machine is the key component of the paving train: during the paving process, the screed compacts the binder course to values of up to 98 percent, a level that is so high that the surface layer paver can follow on behind it without damaging the freshly-paved binder course.

Five spray bars with a total of 24 nozzles enable seamless application of the bitumen emulsion over varying paving widths of up to 20 ft.

The paver for the binder course also features a special material transfer module that transports the surface layer material directly into the material hopper of the third machine in the train — a Super 1800 Dash 3 or Dash 5 generation paver — which then paves the surface layer.

Sustainable, High-Quality Asphalt Pavement

“Hot on hot” paving offers a number of advantages: optimal interlocking of the binder course and surface layer increases the

quality and service lifetime of the surface layer. It allows a reduction of the proportion of surface layer to binder course material, according to Vögele. This improves the stability of the pavement thanks to the higher proportion of the stable binder course and prevents deformation. A smaller amount of costly asphalt surface layer material is required. In contrast to conventional paving, there is no need for spraying with bitumen emulsion as a tack coat — this saves material and working time while also reducing CO₂ emissions, according to Vögele.

SprayJet Technology

If the renewal of a surface layer is required, paving thin layers hot over a spray seal is a low-cost, efficient and resource-friendly technology. With the Super 1800-3(i) SprayJet, Vögele offers a special spray paver that has a track record on projects around the globe,

Hamm Debuts New G-Tier Compactors With ECO Mode

Roller manufacturer Hamm presents new models for compaction in earthworks.

The new models are available now with operating weights between 11 and 13 metric tons (25,832–29,745 lbs.) and can be supplied with a smooth drum or a padfoot drum. They meet the EU Stage V and EPA Tier IVf exhaust emission standards and are initially being launched in North America, with other markets to follow.

Compaction Power From Lower Diesel Consumption

The new compactors with a drum width of 84.3 in. deliver high centrifugal forces and linear loads. ECO mode allows users to drastically reduce their diesel consumption without compromising on compaction power, according to Hamm.

With this mode engaged, the frequency and compaction forces remain consistently high even at a reduced engine speed, which not only saves fuel but also cuts CO2 emissions. The machines achieves gradability with the 3-point articulation that guarantees the high level of maneuverability, stability against overturning and exceptional traction. The new compactors are driven by a John Deere engine delivering 114 hp.

Options, Design, Maintenance

Various options are available for the new models, including compaction measurement with the Hamm compaction meter, a

process data interface, padfoot shells, a powerful lighting package or even the automatic vibration system.

The working environment of the new compactors is characterized by ergonomic design and offers numerous equipment options. Examples include the ROPS cabin with heating and air conditioning functions, a tilting steering column or different types of seats to best meet the varying needs of operators. The easily accessible maintenance points make servicing the machines simple, which keeps downtimes brief and ensures smooth operation. 

Vögele Technologies Help Boost Asphalt Quality, Cut Costs, Reduce Emissions

When using the InLine Pave method from Vögele, the paving train consists of three machines following one behind the other — a mobile feeder, the paver for the binder course and the paver for the surface layer.

TECHNOLOGY from page 66

according to Vögele. It sprays bitumen emulsion onto the old pavement and paves the new surface layer over it in a single pass.

The five spray bars with a total of 24 nozzles enable seamless application of the bitumen emulsion over varying paving widths of up to 20 ft. As the SprayJet module is a self-contained functional unit, it also allows the use of the Super 1800-3(i) SprayJet in the role of a classic road paver. The module is easy to maintain and is logically integrated in the Vögele ErgoPlus 3 operating concept, according to Vögele.

Higher Paving Speed, Quality

Efficient, low-cost rehabilitation of surface layers — the Super 1800-3(i) SprayJet from Vögele sprays bitumen emulsion onto the old pavement and paves the new surface layer over it in a single pass.

SprayJet technology is efficient and is suitable for all paved surfaces used by traffic. The paving speed is often significantly higher than in conventional paving scenarios and, as the layer thickness is generally .78 in. rather than the usual 1.57 in., this also means potential savings of up to 50 percent of the surface layer material otherwise required, according to Vögele.

The use of the SprayJet method also brings numerous benefits with regard to quality. As spraying the emulsion and paving the surface layer take place

in a single pass, the binding agent film cannot be inadvertently driven over and damaged by other construction vehicles, according to Vögele.

The binding agent film seals the entire lower layer and provides an effective barrier against water. This further increases the service life of the road, according to Vögele.

Two Methods for All Paving Requirements

Whether for rehabilitation, construc-

tion from new, or inner-city construction projects, with In-Line Pave and SprayJet, Vögele offers two technologies that take both the challenges faced by road construction contractors and their clients’ specific requirements into account. Faster, more efficient and more sustainable road construction or rehabilitation; the use of less material and conservation of resources; and the realization of high-quality asphalt pavement surfaces, according to Vögele. 

Making its debut at The Utility Expo this year, the HDD Rodeo drew crowds as horizontal directional drilling crews competed for speed and precision against one another.

The show unveiled the latest breakthroughs in underground utility, electric transmission, telecom and water/wastewater technologies shaping the future of the industry.

Innovation in Education

The Utility Expo expanded its acclaimed Field Classrooms with immersive 90-minute jobsite-style classroom sessions covering topics such as pipeline rehab, HDD safety and emerging job site technology.

A safety luncheon symposium brought experts together for actionable discussions and insights on reducing risk and maximizing productivity.

Attendees praised the hands-on format for maximizing learning and value.

“Seeing and being able to hear somebody who has more experience than what I do in the industry be able to talk about it in open communication was really helpful”, said Andrew Manes of Trinity Earthworks. “But in addition to the classroom setting, coming out and being able to walk around where he can actually physically show us the equipment that he’s talking about, the references that he’s making and the added benefit of there being an active construction site here today. So being able to actually see it being

implemented in the way that we do every day in our company but also being able to see what’s coming next is super important.”

Commitment to Workforce Well-Being

Recognizing the mental health crisis affecting utility and construction professionals, The Utility Expo partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to help advance its overall mission and broad spectrum of suicide prevention education programs and to highlight its construction resources available through the Hard Hat Courage initiative, which is supported by an industry coalition that includes AEM.

The partnership raised nearly $24,000 through attendee donations which will help fund organization’s critically important programming and resources for those facing mental health challenges and loss survivors.

“Donations raised at The Utility Expo are

incredibly important in advancing AFSP’s mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide, enabling greater access to our suicide prevention education and support programs,” said Trisha Calabrese, MPH, senior vice president of programs of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “Forums like The Utility Expo help us to distribute construction-specific suicide prevention resources at scale, and we are so grateful to have the support of AEM as a partner in the coalition of leading construction industry organizations in our Hard Hat Courage initiative.”

Community Zone Creates Connection

The Utility Expo’s Community Zone returned with expanded programming that energized attendees through music, networking and industry spotlights. From live bluegrass and bourbon giveaways to thought leadership talks and mental health advocacy, the Community Zone offered a vibrant space for connection and reflection.

“This year’s show has been wonderful,” said Kevin Kongenske with Little Rock Water Reclamation. “It’s amazing how many vendors are under one roof. There are fleet aspects here for me, but then also companies who make the parts for the complex machinery that we’re responsible for that I can buy direct. If this is an industry you’re a part of, this is a must attend show. Everybody’s under one roof to see.”

“This year’s Utility Expo brought our industry together in powerful new ways — fostering innovation, collaboration and a strong sense of community among utility professionals,” said Show Chair Brian Metcalf. “The future of utility construction is bright, and The Utility Expo will continue to be where that future takes shape.”

The Utility Expo will return to the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville Oct. 5-7, 2027. Keep up to date on the show at theutilityexpo.com/. 

Snow and Ice Section

Don’t Get Buried: Use This Pre-Season Snow Prep Checklist

Snow removal contractors know winter doesn’t give second chances. When the first storm hits, there’s no time to scramble for parts, tackle maintenance issues or hurry operator training. Smart preparation in the fall ensures crews can respond quickly and minimize costly downtime when conditions are at their worst.

Prioritize Pre-Season Preparedness

A reliable and efficient winter season demands foundational preparation long before the first snow, reducing potential downtime during harsh cold weather.

Efficient operation starts with a solid, pre-season training program. Implementing an operator training program to ensure crews are proficient with specific equipment and proper snow removal techniques (pushing, blowing, piling) also is essential.

Another critical element of pre-season work is gaining site knowledge. Conduct site walks with property owners to identify and mark items like curbs, fire hydrants, overhead obstructions or drop-offs before they become hidden by snow.

Finally, ensure operator readiness by encouraging crews to prepare personal gear (layered, water-resistant clothing) and emphasize the necessity of being well-rested so they are physically and mentally ready for demanding on-call shifts.

While training and site walks lay the essential groundwork, maximizing your operational readiness requires a sharp focus on your fleet and logistics. Here are six tips to stay ahead of snow removal by ensuring your equipment and planning are ready for the season:

1. Inspect Equipment Early

Use the fall months to thoroughly inspect machines and attachments, looking for worn components, hydraulic leaks

or electrical issues. Schedule any repairs before winter so your fleet is ready when the first snow falls.

2. Plan Ahead for Parts and Supplies

Downtime can cost contractors valuable hours. During the fall, stock up on essential parts and fluids that may be needed throughout the season. Keep critical spares and tool kits on hand.

3. Match the Machine to the Task

Snow removal isn’t one-size-fits-all. Dense, wet snow requires more horsepower and pushing power than lighter, drier snow, while different surfaces and areas covered may also demand different equipment. Evaluate your fleet to determine what compact machines may be best suited for the jobs you service most often.

4. Plan for Transportation and Mobility

Crews often need to move quickly between properties, so

hauling efficiency matters. Before winter, confirm your trucks, trailers and tie-down equipment are in good condition and capable of handling the loads put on them during the season. Verifying your logistics now prevents delays when time is critical.

5. Maximize Operator Comfort

Snow events often mean long shifts at odd hours. Review and invest in cab comfort features like heating, ergonomic controls and suspension seats to minimize fatigue. Also, encourage operators to prepare their personal gear, stocking up on layers and backup gloves for when they need to work outside.

6. Put Attachments to Work

The right attachments can make crews more versatile. Snow buckets, blades, pushers and blowers each serve different purposes. Determine your optimal mix of attachments during the pre-season so operators are equipped to adapt instantly to any condition.

Setting Stage for Success

Preparation is the difference between fighting the storm and controlling the job. Do the work now to ensure prepared operators, maximum efficiency and clear properties. When the snow flies, those who planned will be ready to deliver.

Branch Civil, Orders Construction Lead Wytheville Bundles Project in Va.

The Virginia Transportation Research Council, VDOT’s research arm, is studying four different types of rolled hydraulic erosion control products on one of the finished slopes along Progress Park to determine the influence these products have on vegetation establishment. The council also is using different seed mixes on the study lot.

Blasting

“Rock blasting is a high-risk operation that requires specialized personnel to accomplish the task,” said Kayla Thacker, project manager of the design-build projects with Orders Construction. “The blast experts create a blasting plan considering the number of explosives that should be used and the after blast effects. That includes the particle size, particle velocity and travel distance. An accurate blasting plan ensures that operations are done safely and keeps debris and particles out of the road.”

An extra level of precaution involves the police setting up slow rolls or rolling roadblocks. “A slow roll slows and controls traffic to clear a section of the roadway,” said Thacker. “This allows workers access to an entire roadway for a short time. Slow rolls usually last less than 10 minutes per blast.”

Nearly 90,000 cu. yds. of rock were pulverized by the blasts, allowing removal so construction of the lanes could begin.

Zachary Jones is leading Branch’s work in Wytheville. In addition to the work in Wytheville, Branch also is contracted to provide improvements to I-77 in Fort Chiswell, where they are adding a truck-climbing lane as I-77 northbound (coming from N.C.) approaches I-81. In 2024, Branch focused on getting major structure work and erosion/sediment control in place to make way for other construction this year.

“After our work for the box culverts on the job was approved, we fabricated them, then worked on delivery schedules to place the box sections,” said Jones.

Jones outlined an aggressive plan for his work team.

“There is some grading work to complete, but the big lift in the Progress Park project area will be completing the drainage and getting the temporary storm basins converted into their permanent configuration. With Branch completing the stream crossings, we have been able to execute the grad-

ing of the project in the most efficient manner according to our haul plan,” he said. “For 2025, our goal is to complete the largest fill on the project (350,000 cu. yds.), which is the fill for the new I-77 northbound on/off ramp.”

Jones sees the work as crucial to transportation needs in the area.

“This is an exciting opportunity to provide improvements for the community on a heavily traveled section of highway,” he said. “During major holidays and the summer vacation/travel season, congestion is a real issue with the convergence of 77/81 in Wythe County.”

New Stadium in Washington Approved for Commanders as Demolition Continues

The District of Columbia City Council voted 11-2 on Sept. 17, 2025, in favor of constructing a new stadium complex on the site of the old RFK Stadium, clearing the way for the NFL’s Washington Commanders to leave their current home in Landover, Md.

The Robert F. Kennedy Campus Redevelopment Act of 2025 authorizes the “redevelopment and management” of the property on the Anacostia River, including the construction of a new stadium.

The arena aspect of the project is scheduled to be completed in December 2030, allowing the team to leave its current home at Northwest Stadium, where it has played since 1997 — when it left the old RFK Stadium for the suburbs.

Stadium took place Dec. 22, 1996.

From then until it was fully closed to the public in 2019, the stadium, due east of the U.S. Capitol, was used for other sports events and entertainment.

Capital News Service noted Sept. 18 that the D.C. City Council also has outlined other plans to develop the property, including building restaurants, retail and approximately 5,000 housing units. The area around the RFK site is set to be finished by 2040.

“Fans of the team can rightly celebrate the return of the Commanders to the district as a major moment in our city’s proud history,” said Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen.

The council bill stated the project gives the district “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to continue to revitalize the Anacostia Waterfront … and develop a vibrant, mixed-use development featuring community sports, professional sports, public recreation, public park space and cultural amenities.”

Maryland and Prince George’s County officials had made a pitch to keep the team in Landover, putting together what Gov. Wes Moore called “a very competitive offer” for the team’s owners last year.

But as it became increasingly apparent that the NFL club was intent on leaving, Maryland officials began “responsibly preparing for the possibility of the Washington Commanders choosing to return to Washington,” Moore said in a statement in April.

Commanders owner Josh Harris signed a memorandum of understanding with Moore and Prince George’s Acting County Executive, Tara H. Jackson, in December that said the team would begin demolition of the Landover stadium within 90 days of playing its first game at a new arena. After demolition, the agreement calls on the team to work with state and county agencies to transform the 200-acre Landover site into “a vibrant mixed-use development,” to include residential, retail “and other allowable uses.”

In Washington, the Commanders will contribute at least $2.7 billion to the development of the RFK project as well as the full cost to build the stadium itself, which is currently estimated to cost below $500 million.

Plans call for the new stadium to have a transparent roof and capacity for up to 65,000 fans, just slightly smaller than the 67,617 who can be accommodated at Northwest Stadium, formerly known as FedEx Field.

Jurisdiction over the 180-acre property was transferred to the district in January following a decade-long effort to absorb the land from the federal government, according to Capital News Service.

Washington’s NFL team began playing in the newly built D.C. Stadium in 1961 and continued to do so after its name was changed following the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. The last NFL game played in RFK

Old Stadium Being Dismantled

One Piece at a Time

Meanwhile, demolition efforts are well under way at the RFK Stadium site.

One by one, the stadium’s signature roof beams are coming down as crews from Washington-based Smoot Construction are dismantling it from the top down. Metal is being cut and removed by heavy machinery, and eventually, the entire site will be leveled.

“Instead of doing an implosion, which would cause a lot of dust and other particles going into the air, we’re very sensitive to making sure that all of the environmental and safety concerns were our No. 1 priority,” Steven Johnson, executive vice president of Events D.C., which is overseeing the project, told Washington’s WTOP Radio recently.

In the area that once held the turf where Washington football history was made, large pieces of equipment are now at work.

“One is a crane, and also another piece of equipment to take down the upper parts of the footings of the actual stadium,” Johnson said.

Nina Albert, Washington’s deputy mayor for planning and economic development, said watching the stadium come down is “pretty neat.”

“To see a structure of this magnitude being brought down piece by piece is really dramatic. I mean, it’s incredibly exciting. We’re starting to see the literal steel structure of it, and it kind of reveals new layers of, you know, kind of honestly beautiful design,” she said to WTOP Radio.

Albert added that the ability to see down to the Anacostia River from Capitol Hill without the stadium obstructing the view will be “insane.”

“We haven’t seen this view in what, 60 years, and so I would say we should all take advantage of it over the next two to three years before [the new] construction begins, and capture what it was like to have an open view to the Anacostia from this particular point,” she said.

Many of the stadium’s roof beams are already gone, and with 814 tons of old metal soon to be on the ground, the city is already thinking about how to give some of it new life.

“We are currently engaged in conversations with local D.C. artists as to how they can even try to use some of those materials to put in their current art pieces,” Johnson noted.

Seats from the old stadium also are up for sale, and he added that Events D.D. is exploring the idea of offering more relics to fans from the demolition, which is expected to be completed by this time next year. 
