In response to greater demand for machine-to-machine communica-tion, machine intelligence and remote equipment monitoring, Doosan has introduced an upgraded telematics package for its heavy equipment includ-ing excavators, wheel load-ers and articulated dump trucks. The new system is called Doosan Telematics, and will be standard on all Doosan equipment, except for DX63-3 and DX85R-3 compact excavators.How does it work?

Doosan Telematics provides a connected ma-chine solution that allows customers and dealers to remotely track and moni-tor Doosan heavy equip-ment. Each new Doosan machine that arrived at Doosan dealerships after July 1, 2014, came with a complimentary three-year subscription, including prepaid wireless service. Customers can monitor their Doosan equipment remotely from an Internet-enabled device and an up-graded Doosan Telematics website called CoreTMS. After the three years of pre-paid wireless service ex-pires, customers will have the option to purchase a service extension. Doosan has offered a telematics so-lution since 2008, and cus-tomers who have an active telematics subscription can access the new CoreTMS website for machine details and reports.

The new Doosan Telematics system includes the following elements:• GPS unit: Helps Doosan

equipment owners or fleet managers monitor the machine’s location.

• Q-Pro wireless data mo-dem and wireless ser-vice: The modem sends data collected from sen-sors on the machine to a website via a cellular signal.

• Satellite antenna and service: Provides a com-munication link when the Doosan machine is working in remote loca-tions and cellular service is not available.

• CoreTMS website: The new website offers Doo-san customers access to many useful reports and important machine data.

Benefits to customersThe Doosan Telematics

system puts more informa-tion in the hands of cus-tomers to help them better manage their heavy con-struction equipment. Own-ers can monitor operational data and make recommen-dations to operators to im-prove machine usage and fuel efficiency. For example, owners can see if the opera-tor lets the machine idle for a long time when the ma-chine should be turned off, saving valuable diesel fuel. Operational data also gives owners insight to monitor-ing the machine’s fuel ef-ficiency and the selected power mode in different applications. This is helpful to determine if an operator can make adjustments in order to do the same work with less diesel fuel. Doosan machines provide operators with various power modes to help them best match the power needed to specific ap-plications.Improved maintenance scheduling

Monitoring mainte-nance schedules is made easier with the Doosan Telematics system. Equip-ment owners can review a machine’s mainte-nance history through the telematics website and identify what preventive maintenance is coming up. Fuel levels for each machine can be reviewed simply from the website, eliminating the need to physically visit each ma-chine to check fuel levels, and allowing the customer to minimize trips for the fuel truck.

If a problem does arise, Doosan Telematics alerts owners to help reduce ma-chine downtime. The web-site reports fault and warn-ing codes, and owners or their dealer can be more prepared to fix the prob-lem when they respond be-cause they will have more data about what’s wrong with the machine. Deal-ers can view the problem on the CoreTMS website to help diagnose an issue, without physically being in the same location as the machine.

With all of the informa-tion available from Doo-san Telematics, business owners can make better

estimates when complet-ing job bids and planning for jobs. Accurate machine usage reports, such as the number of hours a ma-chine was used for a par-ticular job, help owners respond to new business opportunities.Reduced equipment theft

Doosan Telematics will help to reduce owners’ concerns about equipment theft. It’s estimated that in the United States, nearly $1 billion worth of equipment is stolen annually. Doosan Telematics is particularly useful for improving fleet management by giving customers visibility to all machine details through the CoreTMS website. Cus-tomers can monitor the physical location of their Doosan machine, ensuring it is where it is supposed to be, which helps prevent equipment theft.Telematics reports

The new Doosan Telematics system allows customers, fleet managers and dealers to efficiently track machine informa-tion. Below is a sample of the many reports available from the Doosan Telemat-ics system:• Fleet status• Machine details• Location of the machine

(position displayed on Google Maps mapping service)

• Operating hours• Fuel usage• Engine idle time vs.

work time (revolutions per minute)

• Error codes• Engine and hydraulic oil

temperatures• Maintenance history• Next maintenance time• Utilization reports, in-

cluding graphsOne advantage the Doo-

san Telematics system of-fers that third-party wire-less devices can’t is the ability to connect directly to electronic power opti-mizing system (EPOS) via controller area network (CAN bus) communica-

tion. This limits the engine diagnostic data third-party devices can provide from Doosan machines.Future updates

Leaders of the Canadian equipment industry con-vened at the nation’s capi-tal on Oct. 30 for Associat-ed Equipment Distributors’ (AED) inaugural Ottawa Briefing.

The meeting featured remarks by Chris Alexan-der, Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister, panels on infrastructure, energy, tax, and workforce policy, a discussion about provincial road construc-tion programs, and a pre-view of the 2015 Canadian federal elections.

“One of AED’s most im-portant responsibilities is to make sure distributors understand how they’re af-fected by government poli-cy and to make lawmakers understand how their deci-sions affect our industry,” said Brian McGuire, AED’s President and CEO. “You won’t find a better example

of that work than what’s happening right here, right now in Ottawa. We’re planting seeds on Parlia-ment Hill that will bear fruit across the country for years to come.”

The conference reflects the continuing evolution of AED’s Canadian public policy program and a com-mitment by the associa-tion to raise the industry’s visibility in Canada. The association is ramping up its activities in Ottawa at a critical time, as lawmakers are laying the groundwork for the new federal budget and devising party election platforms.

AED’s Canadian priori-ties include the continued implementation of the $53 billion New Building Canada Plan, which prom-ises to generate more than $3.4 billion in equipment market activity nationwide;

policies to build Canada’s skilled technical workforce; tax reform to create a more favourable capital invest-ment climate; and regulato-ry policy to ensure the con-tinued strength of Canada’s energy and mining sectors. The association is also lead-ing efforts in Washington, D.C., to approve the Key-stone XL pipeline and build the new Detroit-Windsor bridge, issues that impact distributors on both sides of the border.

Considering both the opportunities and tests fac-ing Canadian industry, it is essential for equipment distributors to be engaged in Ottawa, advised Chris-tian A. Klein, AED’s Vice President of Government Affairs. “We’re working hard to get our members a seat at the table in Ottawa, to ensure their voices are heard and that their issues are at the forefront,” Klein said. “We’re thrilled that so many dealers rose to the challenge, joined us in Ottawa, and helped make this meeting such a suc-cess.” b

This is the second time in as many years that the com-pany has been recognized by the Canada’s Safest Employer program.

Apart from meeting cri-teria related to excellent safety performance, part of the nomination process for the program involved employees to complete an Employee Safety Percep-tion Survey, which helps to gauge the safety culture at an organization and how successful the com-

pany has been in com-municating and embed-ding health and safety at a grassroots level. Being selected as one of Cana-da’s Safest Employers con-tinues a positive trend for the company, and dem-onstrates the results of its philosophy of Zero Harm which encourages posi-tive, proactive prevention to create a culture that demonstrates a commit-ment to every person go-ing home safely at the end of every day.

“Achieving our vision of ZERO Harm is an every-day challenge. I am proud of Dufferin Aggregates employees who have inte-grated their commitment to this goal into every-thing they do. They have embraced our vision and understand that our goal can only be reached if we all contribute individually and as a team - from our OH&S professionals, to management, to field em-ployees,” said Ed Persico,

General Manager, Duffer-in Aggregates.

“Occupational health and safety professionals from all across Canada work tirelessly to promote the safety and well-being of their workforce, said Amanda Silliker, Editor of Canadian Occupational Safety. “Canada’s Safest Employers awards give the opportunity to recog-nize these hard-working individuals and celebrate the culture of safety they have helped foster in their organizations. From in-novative safety programs, employee engagement and training to wellness programs and strong man-agement support, these winning employers are setting an excellent exam-ple for others to follow.”

Canada’s Safest Em-ployers’ Awards 2014 winners were announced at a gala in Toronto on Oc-tober 28. b

When purchasing used heavy equipment online, buyers don’t get to touch the equipment and see it in person. Instead, they rely on information pro-vided by the selling or-ganization or individual. Equipment inspections are an important part of a reliable transaction, so buyers should understand how the inspection pro-cess works and what to look for in an inspection report in order to make more informed decisions. What does an equipment inspection entail?

A professional who has extensive experience assessing heavy equip-ment should conduct the inspection. This person is essentially the buyer’s eyes and ears because the buyer can’t physically op-erate the equipment be-fore purchasing it online.

The inspection process involves evaluating the entire machine, inside and out, to determine

the current condition of the equipment. Inspec-tors should make note of whether the equipment starts and operates nor-mally and verify that the transmission engages in forward, reverse and all gears. Structural and me-chanical issues and cos-metic damage should also be documented so that a buyer is aware of every-thing from engine prob-lems to broken glass.The ideal inspection report

An inspection report should highlight the true condition of the equip-ment. Important attri-butes of a high-quality inspection report include:• Accessibility: Inspec-

tion reports should be free and easily acces-sible ahead of the sale. In the case of an online auction, making reports available before the day of the event lets po-tential bidders vet the equipment being sold and prepare in advance.

• Ratings and descrip-tions: An inspection report should include ratings of a machine’s key systems and com-ponents as well as com-ments that provide ra-tionale for the ratings. Detailed descriptions should be provided so that the buyer not only understands the condi-tion of the equipment but the features avail-able.

• Laboratory analysis: The inspection reports should include labora-tory analysis of oil and fluids in major compo-nents and systems for contaminants and wear metals.

• Abundance of quality imagery: Since buyers rely on photos when bidding on equipment, it’s important for im-ages to be high quality and for the inspection report to include im-ages of every aspect of the equipment.

• Consistency: Inspectors should develop the re-ports using a standard-ized process so that the information is consis-tent from report to re-port. For instance, two

backhoe loaders should be inspected to the same technical stan-dards. Although equip-ment condition may be different, the reports will highlight the same key systems and com-ponents.

• Buyer protection: The inspection report should be backed by a guarantee so that the buyer knows the report is a true representation

of the condition of the equipment. This allows buyers to bid on equip-ment with a high de-gree of confidence. Owners purchasing

used heavy equipment online must rely on data and images to make an educated decision. Since used equipment is a big investment, buyers should seek out selling platforms that employ trained professionals to conduct thorough in-

spections and compile free, detailed inspection reports for each piece of equipment. With an abundance of informa-tion at their fingertips and an understanding of the true condition of the equipment, buyers can make a more informed decision on used fleet purchases. b

Bobcat Company has introduced its new Zero Tail Swing (ZTS) E20 com-pact excavator, which can handle the toughest jobs in confined spaces. The 13.9-horsepower model features a retractable un-dercarriage, unmatched cab comfort, increased uptime protection, attach-ment readiness and an ease of serviceability, all of which provide opera-tors with an excavator un-like any other.

The Bobcat E20 re-places the 324 excavator model and features an au-tomatic slew brake. Avail-able options are auto-shift drive and a fingertip aux-iliary boom swing control. The new Tier 4-compli-ant E20 stands above the competition in the 2-met-ric-ton class of compact excavators. It has a maxi-mum reach of 14 feet, dig depth of 8 feet 6 inches and dump height of 8 feet 8 inches. With the E20 the rear of the house stays within the width of the tracks through full rota-

tion, allowing operators to work flush against a structure to help minimize damaging nearby objects. Working with the jobsite

One major feature of the E20 is its retractable rubber track undercar-riage. When the undercar-riage is fully retracted, the overall width is reduced from 53½ inches to 39 inches — making the E20 an ideal choice for traveling through gates or next to property lines. The E20’s undercarriage is 5½ inches longer than the 324 excavator model, which provides enhanced trenching capabilities, es-pecially when working over the rear of the exca-vator. Improved cab design

Unique to the E20 is a new, roomier cab design that gives the operator excellent visibility to the attachment and the work-ing area. Bobcat already provides the largest cabs with the most spacious cab openings in the in-dustry to increase opera-tor comfort, and operators will continue to see these same features in the E20. An easy-to-open front window and lower por-tal window, along with a redesigned heater are in-cluded with the optional enclosed cab. Optimized ergonomics

From the operator’s perspective, an easy-to-read instrument panel has been updated to match larger Bobcat compact ex-cavator panels. The E20 features superior boom swing control, which of-fers improved control of the boom swing func-tion. By moving the boom swing control to the joy-stick, it frees up floor space for more foot room. An auto-shift travel func-tion provides operators with automatic high-and-low range shifting.

An optional password-protected keyless start is available for the E20, so an owner can program a desired five -digit code. This function has proven to deter machine theft and minimize unauthorized use. An additional op-tional feature of the E20 is a radio and speakers for

improved operator enjoy-ment when working. Attachment readiness

The E20 features a va-riety of attachments, in-cluding three trenching buckets, a grading buck-et, a clamp, a hydraulic breaker and an auger. There is no need for man-ual labor and tools when using the versatile E20 and attachments.

Another major feature on the new E20 is blade extension mounting sys-tem, which is held in place by pins. The pins can be removed to extend or retract the dozer blade with no tools needed. The dozer blade helps E20 op-erators efficiently grade, level, doze or backfill soil. Operators can raise and lower the blade with a conveniently located doz-er blade lever located near the right-hand joystick. Uptime performance

An integrated slew brake is a new feature on the E20 excavator, which eliminates the need for an operator to engage the slew brake when transporting a machine, providing infinite brake positioning. This feature provides for easier load-ing and more options when positioning on the trailer. A dual direction, cushioned arm cylinder and a cylinder-over-boom design — providing pro-tection for the boom cyl-inder — are additional features of the E20. Also, the E20 is clamp ready — it comes with a clamp cylinder mount and port relief — to grab, lift and carry objects. Simple serviceability

The side-hinged, rear service access door is one of the largest compared to its competitors, allow-ing for daily check points and filter access. A side door provides access to coolers and the battery — adding unobstructed ac-cess to the cooling system for routine maintenance. Filters, fluids and the air cleaner, are all easily accessible in the swing-open tailgate, provid-ing easy maintenance at the operators’ fingertips. The engine also utilizes a pusher fan where air is pulled from the engine area and pushed through coolers at the side of the machine. This helps to minimize hot engine air from reaching the opera-tor, and keeping the op-erator cool. b

Compaction equip-ment is about as straight forward as it gets: weight, movement and vibration are used to compact con-struction materials (soil, gravel, asphalt) to re-quired specifications. But there is a science to that compaction, and intelli-gent compaction technol-ogies – ranging from sim-ple meters to automated systems that adjust ma-chine performance for the operator – help simplify operation and allow con-tractors to improve pro-ductivity by getting work done right the first time.

Getting it done right the first time is the most im-portant factor at play here: most agencies require the contractor to come in and repair improperly compact-ed surfaces at no cost. This is where intelligent com-paction provides the great-est benefit, allowing you to move forward on paid work versus doubling back and working for free.

Style 1: Simple Rebound Detection

Intelligent compaction technology comes in dif-ferent varieties. It can be as simple as a compaction meter. A compaction me-ter tells the operator how much rebound there is on the drum, so the opera-tor can adjust as needed. This ability to continuously monitor and react to the data is invaluable.

If there’s too much re-bound, the operator knows that the material is well compacted and they can lower vibration. If there’s little to no rebound, there’s still a lot of force going into the ground, which means the area isn’t fully com-pacted yet and the operator needs to continue their op-erations or determine if the compacted material is still good. Style 2: Instructing the Operator Based on Real-Time Material Conditions

The next level of intel-ligent compaction actu-

ally provides the operator with recommended oper-ating settings/conditions based on the feedback it gets from real-time con-ditions of the compacted material. This is based on desired stiffness settings. The desired stiffness is pre-set based on a bench-mark pass that’s already met requirements. It lets the operator know with-in a range of where they should be operating as the compactor travels along. The display screen shows operators the miles per hour they should be trav-eling in and the level of vibration that should be set. The operator still han-dles all the adjustments, but the system gives them guidelines of where they should be operating.

This method is more ad-vanced than simple com-paction meters because it displays the parameters being worked within, al-lowing the operator to in-tervene in the compaction

process and learn as they go. It’s up to them to take action.

It’s important to note that these technologies measure stiffness, not density. Nuclear density meters, the most accepted measurement tools in the industry, measure how dense the ground is.

Measuring stiffness is said to be a better indica-tor than density. If a com-pany strictly goes off of the data from a nuclear density meter, they’re not getting load-bearing capabilities. A nuclear density test is still required, but it will be more accurate and there will be a higher chance of passing if intelligent com-paction is used. Style 3: Automating the Process

The third level of in-telligent compaction is the “deluxe” compaction option. It’s a system that will adjust the vibration of the drums automati-cally as it goes along, so the only thing the op-erator worries about is steering and the speed at which they’re traveling. These systems are more advanced and rely more heavily on electronics, so some manufactur-ers place these systems strictly into enclosed cab units to avoid dust and protect the electronics.

These machines that automatically adjust them-selves tackle the feat in a few ways. It can be with weights that offset from one another, so the op-erator goes from being at full amplitude, to low, to completely offsetting each other with no amplitude and no vibration. The other style features the weights turning themselves, chang-ing from being an up-and-down vibration to oscil-lation. It decreases to the lowest possible frequency and shuts itself off when it’s done. A Word on Temperature Readings

Another important fac-tor that a good intelligent compaction system will monitor in paving applica-tions is the temperature of the asphalt. Depending on the mix of asphalt, it ei-ther has to be compacted at temperatures up to 425 degrees. As soon as it starts to get too cold, it will no longer compact correctly – it will start to ripple, shove and crack. Asphalt tem-perature is extremely im-portant, and these systems

help ensure that compac-tion is taking place at an acceptable temperature. Taking it to the Next Level with Mapping Technology

Documentation is a standard function on many intelligent compac-tion systems. The system can document and dis-play (either via printout or on a computer) the details of every pass so the contractor can prove the job was performed to spec. The future of docu-mentation and intelligent compaction, however, lies in the hands of map-ping technologies. Unlike the standard documenta-tion feature, owners can plug in the coordinates of the jobsite and match that up with the informa-tion documented through the intelligent compaction system. This new combi-nation of data and loca-tion helps show where the passes were, how many passes were made, the compaction levels, what the parameters were and more.

With the intricate detail of the mapping systems, if there’s an area on the jobsite that’s not reaching compaction levels, contrac-tors will be able to pinpoint exactly where it is. This is crucial because there could be bad base materials un-derneath or some other ob-struction that is impeding the ability to achieve prop-er compaction. Without the mapping technologies, the operator simply knows that there is a bad patch some-where on the lift. They may be able to make an educat-ed guess as to where it is, but they won’t be able to pinpoint it. With the map-ping technology, they can make targeted adjustments or repairs.

These mapping solu-tions take intelligent com-

paction to a whole new level and are not difficult to integrate as many jobsites already have the system set up for machine control technology used on dozers, graders, etc. Benefits from the Ground Up

Not only do these sys-tems offer increased pro-ductivity and the ability to get the job done quicker due to optimal performing parameters, but they also offer lower costs because of the lesser chance of coming in and doing re-work.

With such a rapid in-crease in compaction qual-ity during the initial passes, fewer passes are needed to reach the target specs. The result of fewer passes may include savings in time, fuel and machine mainte-nance – as well as avoiding pitfalls related to under or over compaction.

Another major selling point is simplified train-ing. Contractors can put a newer operator on the compaction machine and it will help them under-stand how to efficiently run the machine. While these systems are getting more intelligent, the hu-man factor is critical, and simplified training helps bring those operators up to speed. They’ll be able to see certain looks or hear sounds that tell them when they’ve reached op-timum compaction, which they’ll start to recognize more quickly in the fu-ture.

With its long list of ben-efits, intelligent compac-tion is the future of produc-tive, efficient compaction technology. The benefits in productivity, operating costs, quality and training/operator performance are too great to not consider. After all, what could be better than a more intelli-gent future? b

Volvo Construction Equipment has a long leg-acy of expertise in supply-ing and supporting a range of motor graders in North America. When the G900 Series of Volvo motor grad-ers was first introduced in 2006, the machines were already ahead of the curve, incorporating first-in-the-market features such as an 11-speed transmission, programmable auto-shift, shuttle shift and creep mode. Since then Volvo has continually updated the model range in response to customer demand, as well as the Volvo core values of safety, quality and environ-mental care – and is now recognized as the industry leader in operator comfort, stability and productivity.

The Tier 4 Final / Stage IV-compliant C-Series mo-tor graders consists of four models — G930C, G940C, G946C (AWD) and G960C, catering to customers’ typi-cal grading applications.

The G900C motor graders are built in the Volvo Con-struction Equipment man-ufacturing facility in Ship-pensburg, Pennsylvania and will be offered to cus-tomers throughout North America and Europe.Five percent less fuel consumption

The new C-Series motor graders include the latest D8J engines, designed and built by Volvo, deliver-ing the ultimate combina-tion of high performance, quiet operation and low fuel consumption. The en-gines provide three vari-able power ranges when equipped with a standard eight-speed transmission and eight variable power ranges when equipped with an optional 11-speed transmission. Preliminary tests show savings of up to 5 percent in fuel con-sumption with superior reliability, durability and ease of operation. “Cus-tomers appreciate running

high duty cycles on 10-hour shifts without having to top off with fuel,” says Rick Fines, product man-ager motor graders, Volvo Construction Equipment.

The standard eight-speed or optional 11-speed transmissions have been further enhanced, provid-ing self-calibration for ex-tra smooth gear changes, an anti-stalling feature and automatic speed matching gears.Comfort cab

The clean and comfort-able operator environment, with effective noise insula-tion and climate control, helps eliminate operator fatigue for accurate and productive work shifts. All models have a spacious,

standard-equipped ROPS/FOPS certified cab with excellent visibility to the moldboard, as well as all-round visibility to the work site. Adjustment of the con-ventional hydraulic con-trols has been improved to suit various operator re-quirements.

The C-Series hydraulics and steering can be con-trolled by traditional levers and a steering wheel or optional joystick controls. Optional joystick controls further simplify machine operation. Transmission directional and gear upshift and downshift controls are incorporated in the joystick controls, including stop-at-

centre articulation control. Operators can customize moldboard hydraulic re-sponse with an intuitive touch screen to suit skill level or grading appli-cation. When equipped with joystick controls, the G900C-Series offers full plug-and-play compatibil-ity for fast installation of multiple brands of auto-matic blade control sys-tems.

The G900C-Series also incorporates a new brake application system, to ap-ply four independent mul-tiple wet-disc brake units featuring cross-over actua-tion and accumulator back-up for highly reliable and

safe operation.Frame and attachments

The new G900C-Series motor graders are eligible for an industry exclusive Lifetime Frame and Struc-ture Warranty, including the centre articulation pins and bushings. The optional warranty applies to the original machine owner.

All models of the G900C-Series range are built with the tool carrier concept, and a full perim-eter rear frame is the ideal platform for mounting rip-pers and snow wings. The mounting locations for all common attachments from Volvo and third party sup-

pliers are incorporated into the frame. Volvo offers a range of attachments that includes mid and front mounted scarifier, front dozer blade and push block, and rear mounted rippers.Additional new features

Additional machine op-tions include engine idle shutdown with variable time delay settings, an anti-theft system, LED head-lights and work lights, and a portable LED service light for the engine compart-ment. Operators also have

the option to pre-program the shuttle shift to allow unrestricted gear shifts when moving between for-ward and reverse gears — without using the brakes or inching pedal.Tracking made easy

The easy-to-read Volvo Contronics instrument panel displays machine operation and performance in real time. Integrated with the Volvo MATRIS system, the grader records numerous operational data points, providing a compre-hensive overview of ma-chine utilization and per-

formance. The exclusive Volvo CareTrack system enables remote machine monitoring, allowing fleet managers to access opera-tional information in a mat-ter of seconds, despite be-ing hundreds of miles from the work site. Volvo deal-ers can utilize CareTrack to remotely access fault codes on purchased and leased machines in an effort to streamline service require-ments.Ease of serviceability

Volvo motor graders are recognized for easy service access through gull-wing

engine doors, hinged ra-diator grill and non-stacked cooling cores. Convenient access to the fuel and die-sel exhaust fluid (DEF) fill points has been enabled through a hinged, lockable panel for easy ground level refilling. A single key is used for all locking panels, and daily service checks and routine maintenance,

such as replacing cab air filters, can be completed at ground level without the need for tools. Greas-ing is done through conve-niently grouped points to save time while servicing. The circle and moldboard Duramide bearing requires little attention and provides extremely long life. All flu-ids can also be checked by

sight gauges or electroni-cally from inside the cab for added safety and effi-ciency. b

The TransCanada High-way (Route 2) between Saint-Jacques and the bor-der with Quebec recently opened to four lanes of traffic.

“The completion of this $17 million project is im-portant for economic de-velopment and for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on the TransCanada corridor,” said Transportation and In-frastructure Minister Roger Melanson. “It will improve highway safety in this re-gion and makes our prov-ince more accessible and attractive to visitors, busi-ness and industry.”

Design work for the 2.8 kilometer stretch of high-way began in 2010. Work included an interchange at the provincial bound-ary. Built in partnership with the Quebec provincial government, which pro-vided $2.3 million for the construction and future maintenance of the new structure, the interchange is near the New Brunswick Visitor Information Centre.

In September 2014, Quebec opened an 8.5 ki-lometer section of newly-twinned TransCanada Highway (Route 85) be-tween Dégelis and New Brunswick, after finishing

an 11 kilometer section to Degelis in 2013.

“I am delighted this section of highway con-necting Quebec and New Brunswick is now open,” said Robert Poëti, Quebec Transportation Minister. “I would like, as well, to ac-knowledge the exemplary collaboration between our two administrations in get-ting this work done. With the twinning of this section to Route 85, users can now benefit from a trade corri-dor that is much improved and much safer on both sides of the border.”

“We have reached a milestone for twinning Route 2 in New Bruns-wick,” said Melanson. “We now have a four-lane TransCanada Highway in our province all the way to Nova Scotia.” b

Final Section Of TransCanada Highway In New Brunswick Opens To Traffic


Residents and patients of the Homestead Rehabili-tation and Homecare Cen-ter in rural Sussex County, NJ, enjoy 14-acres with magnificent country views, including two tranquil ponds, gardens and sev-eral buildings. Long a part of the county’s history, the 102-bed facility was recent-ly in need of some grounds maintenance. One of the projects to be completed was the removal and reme-diation of an old oil tank. With underground tanks raising concerns over envi-ronmental safety, the prop-erty owners felt it was time to remove and replace it.

As with most construc-tion projects, this one came with a few challenges. The underground tank was very close to the side wall of one of the buildings in the com-plex, further complicated by the fact that high volt-age electrical wires were run through the tank to the building. The complexity of the job due to the tight working quarters required a specialized remediation contractor along with a

Location Blais, a JLG dealer in Quebec, Canada, used its 40th anniversary as the impetus to paint a JLG 450AJ articulating boom lift pink. But the un-usual move was not taken to draw attention to the business milestone. Rather, the pink lift is intended to raise breast cancer aware-ness.

“It’s something we’ve thought about for a couple years,” said Serge Blais, Jr., Owner of the company founded in 1974 by his grandfather, Robert Blais. “Our 40th anniversary gave us the push to do it – a way to draw attention to a need

small and nimble machine that could operate with fi-nesse.

GWS Contractors of South Brunswick, NJ, a company specializing in environmental remedia-tion and structural sup-port, was hired to complete the work after another company abandoned the job upon discovery of the high voltage wires. At that point, only half of the oil tank had been removed. With the help of a Kobelco SK35SR, 8,200 lb., 30.2 hp. cab model excavator from Harter Equipment, GWS carefully dug out the area around the tank, safely re-moving it, while keeping the wires intact. Once the tank was removed, they ran the wires to the build-ing through new conduit with minimal disruption to the buildings critical power supply.

Once removed, the com-pany remediated the soil surrounding the tank, then backfilled the area with clean soil, taking advan-tage of the SK35’s bucket and blade combination.

in our community and say thank you for helping us build a successful business here.”

Location Blais is located in the small mining town of Rouyn-Noranda, approxi-mately 700 kilometers (435 miles) north of Montreal and Toronto. The local hospital does not have a ra-diology department. So, for those in the area who suf-fer from cancer, this often means driving to Montreal for treatment.

“And we’re not talking about a day trip,” explained Blais. “Often, patients need to stay as long as six weeks while they undergo treat-ment.”

This means being away from family, friends, co-workers and the communi-ty, all of which are so often critical to a patient’s recov-ery. Serge should know. His mother recently under-

According to Vinny Leone, Site Supervisor on the proj-ect for GWS, “This wasn’t a big job, but it was a tricky one. The electrical wires called for a very precise machine. We found that in the Kobelco SK35 which operated very smoothly. Its short rear swing and small footprint were ideal for operating next to the building. Its precision con-trols gave the operator the ability to scrape around the tank and building founda-tion slowly, yet steadily to ensure there were no other surprise wires or other un-derground obstacles that would need to be dealt with.”

Leone and GWS have long been loyal Harter Equipment customers, “We get all our compact equipment rentals through Harter Equipment. They provide some of the best equipment in the area and are easy to work with. We really appreciated the Ko-belco SK35 on this job. It’s a really nice machine and our operator was comfort-able throughout the entire

went treatment for breast cancer and spent long peri-ods of time away from her family. In addition, both of his grandmothers and an aunt suffered from the dis-ease.

Blais wanted to do something to draw atten-tion to the disease that has attacked his family and so many others he knows. Painting a machine pink and putting it out in the field where many people would see it seemed like a good idea and one that is unique in the construction industry in his area.

Blais had the JLG 450AJ painted pink and then ap-plied JLG and Location Blais stickers before attach-ing the largest breast can-cer ribbon that would fit on the boom lift.

“So often people don’t know why the machine is painted pink, so I’m

Well known as The Ex-cavator Authority for their singular line of equipment, Kobelco engineers under-stood the importance of building a machine that would deliver optimal performance with a small footprint when designing the SK35SR. Kobelco Con-struction Machinery USA manufactures a full range of crawler excavators in the 3,000 lb. to 184,000 lb. classes for the rental, land-scape, construction, aggre-gate, roadbuilding, material handling, site preparation, recycling and ancillary

hoping this causes them to stop and ask,” he said. “They need to learn about the disease and under-stand its impact on fami-lies and the community. We’re hoping this will encourage leaders in our community to push for the addition of a radiolo-gist so that patients can remain closer to home while they undergo treat-ment.”

In addition to rais-ing awareness, Location Blais is raising money, donating income derived from renting the pink aerial work platform to the Canadian Cancer Society in Abitibi-Té-miscamingue. And Blais isn’t stopping there. By the end of next summer, the company hopes to have three more pieces of equipment painted pink and working in the field.

Kobelco SK35SR Remediates Old Oil Tank

Canadian JLG Dealer Raises Breast Cancer Awareness With Pink Boom Lift


The Dow Jones Sustain-ability World Index (DJSI) ranks 2,500 of the world’s largest companies on the basis of their strategies, implementation and results in areas such as business ethics, environmental con-sideration and social crite-ria with the focus on their ability to generate long-term value. Among the top 10 percent included in the index there were three con-struction equipment manu-facturers recognized in-cluding The Volvo Group, Atlas Copco and CNH In-dustrial.

CNH Industrial was des-ignated an Industry Leader for 2014. This is the com-pany’s fourth consecutive year in the Indices’ top po-sition, an honour which is given following the careful review of the participating companies’ activities in the field. The 2014 assess-ment resulted in a score of 87/100 for CNH Industrial, compared with an aver-age of 50/100 for the par-

ticipating companies in the Machinery and Electrical Equipment industry.

In response to the news of CNH Industrial’s appointment as Industry Leader, Chief Executive Officer Richard Tobin ex-pressed appreciation for the acknowledgement of the company’s work in Sustainability. “We are proud to see that our endeavors have once again resulted in us be-ing named as Industry Leader. The worthwhile practices and activities we promote are essential for future strategic develop-ment, providing us with a solid and ethical basis by which to conduct our business worldwide.”

Atlas Copco was again listed as one of the top companies in its indus-try in the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 2014/2015.

“It is gratifying that this well-respected index once again has chosen Atlas

Copco for inclusion,” said Mala Chakraborti, Atlas Copco’s vice president Cor-porate Responsibility. “It is the result of our continued hard work on sustainable productivity.”

Atlas Copco was among the top tier in the Machin-ery & Electrical Equipment industry, scoring particu-larly well in the categories of Environmental Policy/Management Systems, En-vironmental Reporting, and Risk & Crisis Manage-ment.

The Volvo Group has also been acknowledged for its climate strategy, an important part of the Group’s vision of becoming world leader of sustainable transport solutions. Other highlighted areas are the clear direction and focus for guiding its corporate citizenship programs and the Volvo Group’s dedica-tion to innovation for both products and processes.

“I’m both happy and proud that the Volvo Group

has qualified yet again for the DJSI. It is an index to us as it explains how we work with CSR and what we do to create value for all our stakeholders. Get-ting endorsement from such a credible organiza-tion is valuable when liais-ing with our stakeholders and especially so for our relations with the capital markets,” said Malin Ripa, Senior Vice President, CSR at the Volvo Group.

The Dow Jones Sus-tainability Index ranks the world’s foremost com-panies in terms of their sustainability efforts. The annual review is based on analysis of the vari-ous companies’ business ethics, environmental achievements and social performance which impact the companies’ long-term financial performance. The review has special focus on areas such as corporate

governance, risk manage-ment, brand management, climate issues, supplier and customer relations and the work environment. The re-view of input data is con-ducted by RobecoSAM in Switzerland, and generally has considerable influence on which investments are made by funds and individ-uals who formulate their investment decisions based on criteria such as ethics and sustainability. b

Equipment Manufacturers Among The World’s Most Sustainable Companies

Houlton Water Co., in northern Maine, is turning to NB Power for a low-priced, reliable, and secure transmission path for ener-gy through a new interna-tional interconnect joining Woodstock and Houlton, Maine.

The company, a con-sumer-owned electric, wa-ter, and wastewater util-ity based in Houlton, has signed an agreement with NB Power to build a 25 km, 138 kV transmission line and substation. Con-struction will begin once regulatory approvals have been received. The project will be funded by Houlton Water Co. and final costs will be determined when environmental, engineer-ing and design work is complete.

“This agreement is just the latest example of re-gional partners seeing the value in New Brunswick’s low-cost energy and ex-tremely stable grid,” said Keith Cronkhite, Vice-

President of Genera-tion and Business Development for

NB Power. “We are proud to add this con-

nection with our new part-ners at Houlton Water Co. to our other four Maine/New England connec-tions. While the company

is not required to purchase electricity from NB Power through this new line, we are happy to provide their customers with the option to take advantage of our low and stable generation costs through this direct connection.”

“We are pleased that Houlton Water Co. is able to collaborate with NB Power on the new trans-mission tie line project be-tween our two utilities,” said John Clark, the com-pany’s general manager. “Over the next several years, the completion of this project should result in considerable savings and value to our customers.”

“Of course, Houlton Water Co. has ensured a continued high level of reli-ability for its system under this arrangement,” said Clark. “The new agreement was made possible by U.S. federal legislation permit-ting utilities such as ours to make advantageous grid and supply relationships to benefit our customers.”

NB Power will construct the new line and substa-tion from the Woodstock terminal to the United States/Canada border near the Houlton border cross-ing. The new infrastructure will become transmission assets of NB Power and

will join the four existing international connections already in place in eastern and northern Maine.

Houlton Water Co. will seek the necessary regula-tory approvals from the Maine Public Utilities Com-mission, Maine Depart-ment of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Department of Energy. NB Power will seek approval for the project from the provincial government and the Canadian National En-ergy Board. NB Power and the board of Houlton Water Co. have already approved the agreement.

The company is a mu-nicipally-owned electric, water and sewer utility. It was founded in 1880 and has been serving the residents of the Town of Houlton and surrounding communities since its in-ception.

Founded in 1920, NB Power is a provincial Crown corporation that provides electricity to residential and business customers across the province. The corpo-ration, which has 2,300 employees, also exports electricity to New Eng-land, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island with these sales contribut-ing to rate stability in New Brunswick. Today, the New Brunswick grid is comprised of electricity generated by 68 per cent non-greenhouse-gas-emitting sources with a goal to get to 75 per cent by 2020. b

Ontario is taking the next step towards two-way, all-day Regional Ex-press Rail service along the Kitchener line, with the purchase of a 53-kilome-tre section of CN’s Guelph subdivision rail line used primarily for GO Transit service between Kitchener and Georgetown.

The line runs from west

of Main Street in George-town to Park Street in Kitchener. Metrolinx has also purchased property in Kitchener for the future site of a train-layover facility.

Regional Express Rail ser-vice will mean faster, more frequent trains, operating in both directions throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends. By increas-

ing Metrolinx’s ownership along the Kitchener rail corridor, GO Transit will be able to improve service, control operations and make infrastructure upgrades needed to support service expansion, including morn-ing inbound trains to Kitch-ener and evening outbound trains back to Toronto.

Building public tran-sit and creating jobs are part of the government’s economic plan to invest in people, build modern infrastructure and support a dynamic and innovative business climate. b
