As communities through-out the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic continue to deal with the devastating winds and flooding from Hurri-cane Sandy, diesel-powered emergency backup genera-tors are working to provide power to hospitals, nuclear power plants, emergency response centers, and other critical facilities.

“The devastation from Hurricane Sandy has been unprecedented in many ar-eas of the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic region,” said Allen Schaeffer, the Execu-tive Director of the Diesel

Technology Forum. “A vital asset in the recovery mission continues to be the emergency power provided from diesel-powered back-up generators.

“Emergency manage-ment officials and local leaders from impacted areas are reporting how their diesel generators are providing emergency pow-er for hospitals, nuclear power plants, emergency shelters, and 911 response centers. With their self-contained fuel supply, rapid response time, and strength in electrical load-

carrying capacity, diesel generators are the technol-ogy of choice for emergen-cy back-up power.

“What we are learning today is how diesel gen-erators kept the lights and essential power on dur-ing the storm, as well as continuing to provide vital electrical power to the re-gion by helping power data centers, cell towers, hotels, individual businesses, and aiding the restoration of the financial district and even the New York Stock Exchange.

“Diesel-powered gener-

ators can and do save lives during a weather or power crisis,” Schaeffer said. Proper Placement and Siting of Generators Is Important

This “storm of the cen-tury” also clearly demon-strates the importance of proper placement and sit-ing of where the back-up generator units are located - in safe and secure areas above floodplains or storm-surge zones, above and away from threats of un-derground flooding.

“From hospitals to wa-ter treatment facilities or airport control towers, ev-ery second counts when the power fails,” Schaeffer said. “Fortunately, within 10 seconds of a power failure, diesel-powered backup generators go to work. That’s why diesel is a silent yet reliable partner in virtually every hospital across the country. No oth-er energy source provides full-strength backup power within seconds of a failure by the primary electricity grid.

“Diesel power is also be-ing deployed around the re-gion today powering mas-sive portable water pumps to evacuate flooding in subway systems, apart-

ment buildings and key underground infrastruc-ture. Pumping systems, both portable and fixed, with diesel back-ups are in place in thousands of cit-ies throughout the country to prevent flooding, and to keep drinking water treat-ment systems providing safe drinking water when the electrical power goes out. Emergency Responders Rely on Diesel Power for Ambulances and Communications Systems

“Emergency responders – fire and rescue units – rely primarily on diesel power for their response apparatus, ambulances and for power-ing their emergency commu-nication systems. Because of its unique combination of power, performance, reli-ability and availability, no other technology or fuel can meet the full range of needs in responding to national weather emergencies.

“Back up emergency diesel generators are the technology of choice and are in place at America’s airports and critical tele-communication centers. With a self-contained fuel supply, these diesel-powered units aren’t vul-nerable to utility service interruptions such as the emergency shut-off of natural gas pipelines that are common safety procedures in natural di-sasters.

“Airport Radar and tele-communications systems have their own back-up power systems and the majority depends on diesel emergency generators to maintain passenger safety and security during storm-related power interruptions of a few seconds or a few days,” Schaeffer said.

Diesel-powered gen-erators have proven to be the most reliable, durable, and economical source of emergency power. In al-most all instances, diesel generators are the only source of power generation that meets federal and state requirements of 10-second start-up and electrical load-carrying capacity. Diesel powered units are typi-cally much larger than the portable gasoline powered generators available at lo-cal home supply stores. Tips and Advice for Diesel Generator Use

To help businesses and cities protect critical facili-ties during a power outage, the Diesel Technology Forum has outlined sev-

eral ways to ensure backup power in a crisis: Assess the risk

Identifying your facil-ity’s critical loads is an im-portant first step. Assign a cost to the risks associated with utility power inter-ruptions, production losses and downtime. Frequent outages of a few seconds, a few minutes or more can often disrupt production lines and have significant cost implications to busi-nesses. While other back-up electrical supply alter-natives may exist, they can often take longer to engage and have shorter supply capabilities, have higher costs, lower reliability or no reasonable refueling op-tions during an event. Determine Needs, Properly permit, locate and Install a standby generator

Work with qualified diesel engine and equip-ment and generator deal-ers to properly spec, locate and install a unit. Be sure that the units are properly sized to handle vital loads and installed by certified electricians and power ex-perts and in accordance with all state and local fire and environmental operat-ing codes. Have sufficient fuel storage

Diesel fuel’s energy density and the engine’s high efficiency allow for smaller fuel storage facili-ties compared to other fu-els, which provides a cost savings to owners. Still, it is important to make sure that you have suffi-cient fuel storage capac-ity on-site for an extended outage of several days, and contingencies for re-fueling during a serious weather or other event in the event of extended out-ages. Assure Proper Use, Readiness and Maintenance

As required by electrical and safety codes, standby generators should be “ex-ercised” periodically (typi-cally on a weekly basis) to ensure they will operate as designed in the event of an emergency. Proper main-tenance and servicing are key to reliability. Contract rental power

If installing your own standby generation is not feasible for your business, you might consider con-tracting with a reliable firm to reserve rental generator power for use in the event of an extended outage. bwww.eagleage.ca | call Wayne @ 604-703-3673

The B.C. government and TransLink have signed a contract with Bombardier Transportation to supply 28 SkyTrain cars for the new Evergreen Line as well as the existing Expo and Millennium Lines.

The B.C. government and TransLink worked to-gether to procure the cars, which will be operated by TransLink once construc-tion of the Evergreen Line is complete. The cost of the cars is $90.7 million.

Construction cost for the Evergreen Line is es-timated to be $1.4 billion.

Funding is being provided by the government of B.C., the Government of Canada and TransLink.

The B.C. government is contributing $583 million and will also oversee con-struction. The Government of Canada is contributing up to $417 million. Trans-Link is contributing $400 million and will operate the Evergreen Line when it is complete.

The Evergreen Line will link Burnaby, Port Moody and Coquitlam with an 11-kilometre ad-vanced light rapid transit

line between Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby and Douglas College in Co-quitlam.

The project will fully integrate into the existing SkyTrain system, linking directly to the Millennium Line, with connections to the Expo Line, Canada Line, the West Coast Ex-press and regional bus net-works.

Bombardier was select-ed to supply the cars after successfully responding to a Request for Expressions of Interest in February 2012.

SNC-Lavalin Inc. has been selected as the pre-ferred proponent to work with the B.C. government to finalize the agreement to design, build and fi-nance the Evergreen Line project. b

Bombardier To Supply Skytrain Cars The Honourable Greg

Selinger, Premier of Manitoba, and the Hon-ourable Vic Toews, Min-ister of Public Safety and Member of Parliament for Provencher, recently announced the comple-tion of work to upgrade Highway 75 through the Town of Morris, includ-ing intersection improve-ments, new lighting and sidewalks as well as en-hanced drainage.

“Manitoba families, businesses and agricul-tural producers count on our roads and highways to get around and to do business,” said Premier Selinger. “The upgrades to Highway 75 will keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely along one of our busiest routes. In-frastructure renewal is a priority for Manitobans and this project is part of our commitment to keep improving roads across the province.”

“Our government is proud to invest in High-way 75, making this

route safer and faster for local commuters and also reducing traffic con-gestion for farmers and commercial truckers,” said Minister Toews on behalf of the Honourable Steven Fletcher, Minis-ter of State (Transport). “Our investment has cre-ated good paying jobs in our community and strengthened the local economy of our region. Our government will continue to support local communities and focus on growth and prosper-ity across the country, including here in Mani-toba.”

The work on Highway 75 through the Town of Morris began in 2011 with the reconstruction of southbound lanes, followed by northbound lanes this year.

The highway rehabili-tation work is part of a major, multi-year initia-tive to upgrade Highway 75 from Ste. Agathe to Letellier. The total cost of the broader Highway

75 Reconstruction and Rehabilitation project is $90.2 million. The Gov-ernment of Canada is contributing up to $42.5 million with the Province of Manitoba providing the balance of funding. The federal investment comes from the Gate-ways and Border Cross-ings Fund, a $2.1-billion fund that supports proj-ects that improve the flow of goods and trade, and support economic growth.

In addition to the federally cost-shared Highway 75 Reconstruc-tion and Rehabilitation project, the Manitoba Government funded a $1.4 million project to improve southbound lanes on Highway 75, on the Manitoba side of the Emerson international border crossing. The project involved the con-struction of a dedicated, southbound commercial truck lane and the addi-tion of traffic signals and new lighting. These up-grades will improve traf-fic flows, especially for commercial trucks but also for cars, when lining up at U.S. Customs and Border Protection. b

The recent release of the results from the B.C. Shipbuilding and Repair Workforce Table help gov-ernment and industry align their skills and training in-vestments to capitalize on what will be a decade of growth in the shipbuilding and repair sector.

The analysis provides a complete picture of both the demand for, and supply of, jobs in the shipbuilding and repair industry. Sector employ-ers, fleet owners, unions, industry associations, trades and training as-sociations, and the B.C. government contributed to the labour market re-search. The result is a full accounting of the hu-man resources and skills needs in an industry ex-pected to generate $10 billion for the provincial economy by 2020.

For the first time, the shipbuilding and repair sector has established a baseline for current em-

ployment at 4,627 jobs. This includes direct em-ployment in the sector, as well as employment in the metal plate and fabrication sector, which predominately serves the shipbuilding industry. Projected employment in both sectors is 6,883 di-rect and indirect jobs by 2016 and 7,605 by 2020.

To support the sec-tor, government has al-ready invested $550,000 to develop training pro-grams for the Industrial Marine Training and Ap-plied Research Centre in Esquimalt, which is op-erated by the Resource Training Organization. The new industry-led, marine-training centre will strive to support workforce renewal in the industry through train-ing and education. It will also be a focal point for applied research to in-crease productivity and improve processes in the sector so that industry

can meet the increasing level of business activity.

Government has also created new tax credits for eligible employers who employ apprentices in the shipbuilding and ship repair industry. Eli-gible industry employers can receive a refundable tax credit of 20 per cent of wages paid per year – up to $5,250 per eligible apprentice – in the first 24 months of an eligible apprenticeship program. Shipbuilding and ship repair industry employer tax credits are also en-hanced by 50 per cent for apprentices who are First Nations individuals or persons with disabilities.

Government will con-tinue to support the sector through a new B.C. Shipbuilding and Repair Board that has been formed to lead, co-ordinate, and integrate cross-industry workforce development, technol-ogy and process devel-opment, and industry development projects. Funding for the work-force table is provided through the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement. b

Observing a void in the marketplace as equip-ment manufacturers have for the most part stopped producing and support-ing steering axle equipped self-propelled loaders for mill yard applications, Tigercat has stepped up with the newly designed AC16 articulating carrier. The AC16 can be mated to a Tigercat 234 or 250 se-ries knuckleboom loader.

The prototype unit was purchased by Verso Paper Corp and is operating in a wood yard in Dover-Fox-croft, Maine. Verso pro-duces high quality coated papers and specialty prod-ucts with operations in Maine and Michigan.

Yard supervisor Kent Burden explains that Ver-so bought the AC16 car-rier along with the 250C loader to replace Tanguay and Prentice self-pro-pelled loaders with front axle steering. “They are extremely expensive and parts are becoming dif-

ficult to find to keep the machines in service,” says Kent.

Operator Arthur Wat-son says that at first they considered the AC16 car-rier a compromise due to a general perception that articulating carriers are less stable when driv-ing over uneven ground. Wood yards can get messy in wet weather and they are not always flat, even at the best of times. Dips and small hills are mag-nified from the operating position of a raised cab, exaggerating the rocking effect.

After a couple of weeks of operation, Arthur is much more comfortable with the machine. He says it gets around the log yard pretty well. “And the access is good. I can reach all the grease fit-tings easily,” says Arthur. “There is only one boom knuckle fitting that you need a ladder for. Visibil-ity in the cab is good. The

boom is mounted further forward than the Prentice but that is just something different to get used to.” Arthur has no complaints regarding boom power or performance.

The yard takes in long length pulpwood, slashes it and sends it to three dif-ferent Verso facilities. The typical duty cycle is 25-30 loads per day, a combina-tion of loading short wood and unloading tree-length logs. The other component of the duty cycle is slash-ing, which occurs on an as needed basis.

The AC16 is four-wheel drive and has powerful tractive effort for towing applications. The carrier is fabricated by Tigercat and uses standard compo-nents that are common to other Tigercat machines. The axles, brakes and transmission are com-mon to Tigercat drive-to-tree feller bunchers. An optional log bunk is also available. The loader can be separated from the car-rier if required.

Go to the video ar-chive at www.tigercat.com to see a video of the AC16 and 250C loader in action. b

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2012 Canadian Construc-tion Association National Awards Program, which recognizes the important contributions of projects, people, firms and associ-ations that promote and enhance the Canadian construction industry. The awards program is open to all relevant orga-nizations and individuals who meet the require-ments of each award.

“For many years, the CCA National Awards Program has recognized the outstanding people and businesses that make up our industry,” said John Schubert, 2012 Chair of the Canadian Construction Association Board of Directors. “This program provides an op-portunity to celebrate those individuals and or-ganizations that, through their hard work and ded-ication, help build Cana-da’s future.”

There are 12 awards available through the CCA National Awards Program. In 2011, the CCA National Awards program recognized firms of various sizes, and individuals from construction firms across

Canada.The Excellence in In-

novation Award was awarded to a concrete pumping firm in Ed-monton, Alberta, whose unique pumping system is helping to divert sig-nificant concrete waste from landfill, while helping to keep con-struction sites clean throughout the process.

As well, the Envi-ronmental Achievement Award was awarded to Lafarge Western Cana-da, whose environmen-tal awareness ensured their work at the Cal-gary International Air-port would divert waste from landfill, while still providing a completed project built to speci-fications. The Safety Award once again rec-ognized the important steps that firms are tak-ing to ensure safe op-erations, recognizing Black & McDonald for their efforts, and the International Business Award recognized PCL for their work overseas and here in Canada.

The awards provide a great opportunity for any firm in Canada to help distinguish the positive work they are

doing in the Canadian construction industry.

“Winning the CCA’s Environmental Award brought Lafarge fur-ther pride and recogni-tion for our sustainable construction focus. Recycling and emission reduction opportuni-ties exist on every proj-ect when a solution ap-proach is embraced by project partners,” com-mented Bob Spence, VP Asphalt & Paving for Lafarge Western Canada.

“The CCA National Awards program reflects the broad and positive impact that the Cana-dian construction indus-try has, both in Canada and abroad,” Schubert added. “Our industry has made tremendous contri-butions across the coun-try and around the world, and we are pleased to showcase those contribu-tions through this annual awards program. I would encourage all eligible people and organizations to submit a nomination, and celebrate the posi-tive efforts undertaken by our industry.”

The deadline for nominations to be re-ceived is December 7, 2012. More informa-tion about the awards and nomination criteria can be found online at h t tp : / /www.cca -acc .c o m / e n / a b o u t - c c a /awards. b

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) recently announced that it has joined the Campbell Institute as a Charter Member.

The Campbell Institute was launched by the Na-tional Safety Council (NSC) earlier this year. The mis-sion of the NSC, founded in 1913, is to save lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leader-ship, research, education and advocacy.

The Campbell Institute brings together leaders of high-performing or-ganizations that believe

having high environmen-tal, health and safety standards is at the core of business vitality. The organizations undergo a rigorous application pro-cess before being select-ed. This group will help gather and amplify the collective experience and knowledge of its members to create safer and health-ier workplaces and com-munities worldwide.

“This is an honour that brings with it the op-portunity to benchmark with leaders in the field of health, safety and en-vironment,” said Michelle Garner-Janna, Director,

Corporate Health & Safe-ty, Cummins Inc. “Being part of the Campbell In-stitute demonstrates Cum-mins deep commitment to the environment, and the long-term health and safe-ty of every employee.”

Through events, part-nership, research, knowl-edge and expertise, the Institute will serve as a leader in creating and sharing environmental, health and safety stan-dards for use by other or-ganizations.

“We’re truly proud to have Cummins as a char-ter member,” said Laura Fiffick, Senior Director of the Campbell Institute. “Their vision is clear, their commitment is un-wavering, and I know they will have a real and significant impact through the Institute.” b

Cummins recognized As Environmental leader

Trees Ontario recently released a progressive re-port that combines mod-ern afforestation methods with decades of planting experience. Alternative Ap-proaches to Afforestation pushes the boundaries of conventional tree planting models by offering compre-hensive afforestation and reforestation methodolo-gies which consider carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, soil protec-tion, as well as sustainable use of raw materials in a balanced way.

Afforestation is the estab-lishment of forests on open lands that have not been covered by forests for ap-proximately 50 years. This practice has many benefits including soil stabilization, site rehabilitation, protec-tion of riparian areas and the provision of wood products, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and flood control. Afforestation efforts also contribute significantly to carbon sequestration to meet obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.

“The rehabilitation work through afforesta-tion techniques can, over time, initiate ecosystem restoration and recovery with respect to ecosystem health, integrity and sus-tainability,” said Al Corlett,

Trees Ontario’s Program Manager and one of the re-port’s contributing authors. “When used together with current planting methods, these techniques can pro-mote greater biodiversity, help reduce the impacts of invasive insects and dis-ease infestations, and in-crease forest health.”

The Alternative Ap-proaches to Afforesta-tion, co-authored by Al Corlett, Paul Gagon, Tom Clark and Margaret Penner through the support of the Ontario Trillium Founda-tion, was released during Trees Ontario’s Site Plan Development Course held in Milton, ON. This edu-cational session is part of Trees Ontario’s Technical Workshop Series designed to enhance the technical expertise of forestry profes-sionals in Ontario.

“Successful tree planting is a complex undertaking that requires close atten-tion to a myriad of factors, including tree seed forecast-ing and collection, project planning, site and soil as-sessment, nursery stock production, tending and as-sessment operations, as well as technical education,” said Robert Keen, RPF, Trees On-tario’s CEO. “Trees Ontario’s latest report will ensure that best practices, including the

application of conventional and alternative afforestation methods, are implemented into the multi-layered tree planting infrastructure in or-der to enhance sector capac-ity and expertise.”

Paul Gagnon, Lands & Waters Supervisor at the Long Point Region Conser-vation Authority, has taken part in an alternative af-forestation project with the support of Trees Ontario and was also in attendance during the launch of the report. “For successful res-toration efforts, innovative methods should be consid-ered in combination with traditional techniques,” Gagnon noted. “Several key alternative techniques, with a greater focus on eco-logical restoration, include planting of a wide variety of native tree species on a single site, planting trees in groups instead of rows, and using native plants to control weeds.”

In today’s current eco-nomic climate, it is critical for tree planting agencies to prioritize efforts and fo-cus on areas where forest restoration will have the greatest ecological impact. Trees Ontario’s latest re-port provides Ontario’s afforestation experts with unique restoration-based field procedures that can be integrated into various planting programs across the province with an inno-vative focus on biodiversity and enhanced resilience to climate change. b

SoloPower, the San Jose, California-based leader in high efficiency, lightweight, and flexible thin-film solar cells and modules, recently an-nounced the grand open-ing in Portland, Oregon of its high-volume manufac-turing (HVM) facility. The event marked a significant milestone in the compa-ny’s plan to make solar en-ergy the primary source of power for commercial and industrial buildings world-wide, and in its ability to meet demand for its unique solutions. SoloPower was joined at the ceremony by Portland Mayor Sam Ad-ams who toured the state-of-the-art manufacturing floor with local and state elected officials, company executives and customers.

“Oregon’s manufactur-ers are playing a key role as we add jobs back to Oregon,” said Governor Kitzhaber. “With the open-ing of this high-volume

manufacturing facility, we mark a significant mile-stone for SoloPower and for advanced manufactur-ing in Oregon.”

“Portland benefits when we help maximize the glob-al competitiveness of local businesses. SoloPower is creating living-wage jobs in a vital sector of our econ-omy, a sector that is help-ing to establish Portland as one of the most sustainable economies in the world,” said Mayor Adams.

SoloPower’s light-weight, flexible SoloPanels and proprietary installation systems revolutionize the rooftop solar integration process, making solar en-ergy easy and cost effective for nearly any commercial and industrial building. The company’s suite of so-lar solutions optimizes en-ergy performance on a va-riety of roofs in a range of climates with diverse sun exposure conditions. Non-penetrating installation

systems make it simple to remove and reinstall Solo-Power’s solutions, enabling installation on older roofs not yet due for a reroof and substantially expanding the market beyond new and reroof applications. Due to their very low profile on rooftops, SoloPower’s solu-tions provide an unparal-leled ability to withstand wind, opening additional segments that could not utilize solar energy in the past, particularly in areas susceptible to storms, such as Japan.

“The opening of Solo-Power’s state-of-the-art HVM facility in Portland increases our capacity to meet the energy demands of the world’s commercial and industrial buildings, which consume 40% of global electricity,” said Tim Harris, CEO, Solo-Power. “We and our cus-tomers are very excited: it’s a huge market, our unique solutions expand that market, and now we have the ability to serve our customers who are looking for an easy-to-install, predictable, and cost-effective solution for their energy needs, no matter their conti-nent.” b

Solopower opens Facility in oregon Trees Ontario has an-

nounced the launch of a new training program to address a severe knowl-edge-transfer gap threat-ening Ontario’s afforesta-tion sector. Thanks to a $112,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Founda-tion, an agency of the Gov-ernment of Ontario, and support from RBC Foun-dation, Trees Ontario will work collaboratively on the Program for Local Affor-estation Network Training (PLANT), an innovative mentorship-based training model aimed at students in post-secondary forestry programs.

“Restoration and conser-vation of our natural ecosys-tems through tree planting efforts are important strate-gies for enhancing biodi-versity and reducing the impact and severity of cli-mate change,” said the Hon. Michael Gravelle, MPP and Minister of Natural Resourc-es. “PLANT, the training program initiated by Trees Ontario, will ensure that the province has an accessible supply of knowledgeable and skilled professionals to accommodate Ontario’s af-forestation needs.”

Due to the retirement of experienced forestry pro-fessionals and the lack of knowledge transfer strate-gies, Ontario is at risk of los-ing decades’ worth of forest-ry knowledge. As well, the current forestry curriculum offered by Ontario’s Colleges needs to be augmented with focused, supplemental train-ing that’s specific to south-ern Ontario’s environment. Trees Ontario will work col-

laboratively on PLANT with Conservation Ontario, Stew-ardship Councils, Forest Gene Conservation Associa-tion and Sir Sandford Flem-ing College, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Conservation Halton.

“The delivery of large-scale tree planting is a com-plex undertaking that is heavily dependent on the availability of and access to a strong network of profes-sionals who possess the re-quired knowledge and tech-nical capacity,” said Rob Keen, Trees Ontario’s Chief Executive Officer and a Reg-istered Professional Forester.

With Ontario’s forests under constant pressure due to population growth, urban sprawl and environ-mental degradation, en-hancing the province’s tree planting infrastructure is timely and critical. Without adequate succession plan-ning, the pending retire-ment of Ontario’s forestry professionals will impact future planting initiatives, and ultimately the health and integrity of local eco-systems and communities.

Don Pearson, Conser-vation Ontario’s General Manager, further empha-sized the significance of this hands-on bridging program. “Skilled planters, seed forecasters, nursery staff, and skilled forestry practitioners are all neces-sary to sustain effective and efficiently managed tree planting efforts across On-tario,” he noted. “PLANT will expose aspiring profes-sionals to all facets of the industry, leading to more experienced graduates with

higher technical aptitude.” With the PLANT cur-

riculum rolling out during the second half of the 2012-2013 academic year, Trees Ontario will work with graduating forestry stu-dents attending Sir Sand-ford Fleming College. Stu-dents will be provided with in-class technical training facilitated by Trees On-tario’s seasoned advisors and experts. A select group of students will also rotate through a series of mentor-ing opportunities and train-ing placements with Trees Ontario’s professional planting partners.

“We are particularly pleased to collaborate with Trees Ontario on this proactive initiative,” said Gerald Guenkel, Forestry Program Coordinator, Sir Sandford Fleming College. “This unique program will serve as a complementary curriculum to current in-class modules which will prepare our students with the technical training re-quired to successfully enter the workforce and become Ontario’s future forest res-toration leaders.”

With support from the Ontario Trillium Founda-tion, RBC Foundation and its planting partners, Trees Ontario’s PLANT will play a major role in bridging the existing knowledge gap in order to establish larger and more contiguous for-ests through afforestation efforts across Ontario’s settled landscape. Connect-ing forest corridors and in-creasing forest cover will not only enhance Ontario’s resilience to climate change and protect the province’s rich biodiversity, but will also improve the health of all Ontarians and create sustainable economic op-portunities for future gen-erations. b

The 2012 inductees into the AEM Hall of Fame are:• John Deere (Deere &

Company)• Pierre Bataille (Poclain)• Wood Brothers - Keith,

Leonard and Mervel (Woods Equipment Company)AEM Hall of Fame in-

ductees have been evalu-ated by an independent panel of industry experts on five criteria that are vital to the health of the off-road equipment man-ufacturing industry: (1) innovation, (2) industry contributions, (3) leader-ship, (4) corporate citizen-ship/social responsibility and (5) sustainability.

For more information on the AEM Hall of Fame and all its inductees, go online to the AEM Hall of Fame section of the AEM website - www.aem.org/HallofFame.About the 2012 Hall of Fame inductees

Below are summaries for each of the 2012 hon-ourees with some of the reasons they were select-ed for induction.John Deere (Deere & Company)

John Deere was a lead-er in his day in vision, innovation, and improv-ing the quality of life for his fellow citizens. The company marks its 175th anniversary in 2012, rec-ognizing the significant influence Deere has had for almost two centuries in equipment manufactur-ing – an impact the Illinois blacksmith could not have imagined when he was first compelled to create tools that have evolved into machinery that helps build and feed the world.

“John Deere” has been synonymous with equip-ment almost since John Deere moved from New England to Grand Detour, Ill., where his skills as a blacksmith were immedi-ately in demand. Deere ul-timately took his business

to Moline, Ill., which had access to better transpor-tation routes and essential energy sources.

If Deere could have seen the future in 1837 when he created his in-novative self-scouring plow for Midwestern farmers, he would have been amazed and proud to see that his namesake company would become a world leader in machinery manufacturing.

Deere built a global company on the core val-ues of integrity, quality, commitment and innova-tion - one that produces machinery with a myriad of applications in agricul-ture, construction, for-estry and turf care. John Deere made an everlasting mark and earned his place in the AEM Hall of Fame through the development of equipment manufactur-ing to its status today as a key contributor to our economic well-being and quality of life.Pierre Bataille (Poclain)

Pierre Bataille was an industry innovator and a responsible leader, con-tributing to economic development in France while improving quality of life for his workforce and the industry.

The technology he helped develop, high pres-sure hydraulics, played a part in the huge increase in productivity for agricul-tural works, handling op-erations and earthmoving. He was a pioneer in devel-opment of the hydraulic excavator. He was the in-stigator to use production assembly lines for exca-vators in the early 1960s, increasing production and reliability; his concept of the swing drive and boom remain a standard today.

A leader in social re-sponsibility, Bataille of-fered interest-free loans to his employees, a ma-jority of whom were for-mer farmers living in poor conditions who then more easily became home-owners. He developed a technical training center to provide workers and excavator operators with job training. Bataille es-tablished one of the first staffed company caf-eterias for his employees and a network of buses to safely transport them to and from work; while not a widespread prac-tice in the 1960s, Bataille instituted noise-reduction measures in the plant and

on excavators.Bataille’s civic service

included leadership of French standardization and business development organizations, and he also served as president of the Committee for European Construction Equipment. In 1990, Bataille was awarded the rank of Offi-cer of the Legion of Honor by the French government in recognition of his entre-preneurial leadership.Wood Brothers – Keith, Leonard and Mervel (Woods Equipment Company)

Keith, Leonard and Mervel Wood were prob-lem solvers, risk takers and entrepreneurs who used these skills to fuel their drive for inventing and manufacturing. As pioneers in the develop-ment of rotary cutters and mowers, the Wood broth-ers helped create a preva-lent product category for the short line industry.

One invention that dra-matically affected the ag-ricultural industry is the company’s iconic Batwing rotary cutter, known ge-nerically as the flex-wing rotary cutter, first shipped in 1963. Other key inven-tions include the patented single V-belt drive system, used on virtually all resi-dential and commercial mowers in use today, and the single attachment pin blade retention system, a design still used on most Woods cutters today.

The brothers sought to adapt their equipment to all types, sizes and mod-els of tractors, including two adaptors that were predecessors of today’s standard 3-point hitch. In the 1970s, the Wood brothers elevated product support to a new level, ensuring sales and service were available across the country in the days before overnight delivery.

Starting the company af-ter World War II in Oregon, Ill., the Wood brothers contributed greatly to job creation and development of skilled labor in the re-gion, training thousands as welders, machinists, metal fabricators, painters, en-gineers and office person-nel. Sustainability for the brothers was always about doing right, for example, metal scrap recycling (not widespread in the ‘40s and ‘50s).

Nominations for the next Hall of Fame will open in June 2013. b

Demonstrating its com-mitment to China and the broader Asia-Pacific mar-ketplace, Bombardier was pleased to return to Air-show China in Zhuhai for its 2012 edition, where it showcased its diversified portfolio of business and commercial aircraft, and its superior customer support services.

Bombardier has a long-standing relationship with the Chinese market. Its range of industry-leading aviation products, as well as its ever-expanding glob-al network of service cen-tres and production sites, position the company to meet the nation’s growing

aerospace needs.During the Airshow,

three airplanes from Bom-bardier’s broad collection of business aircraft were on static display. These include the super midsize Challenger 300 jet, the widebody Challenger 850 jet and the ultra long-range Global 6000 jet, featuring the new Bombardier Vision Flight Deck.Business Aircraft

Business aviation in China is experiencing sus-tained and rapid growth. Bombardier’s latest market forecast for the aviation industry predicts a total delivery of 2,420 business jet deliveries destined for

China over the next 20 years. With a solid fleet of business jets in the coun-try, and a strong market share of one third of the business jet market in Chi-na, Bombardier’s Learjet, Challenger and Global jets are all represented. The fast-growing fleet of Bom-bardier business aircraft based in China has already surpassed 78 jets.

“We are very proud to show our business jets to our growing clientele in China” said Michael Han, Regional Vice-President, Sales, China, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “Bom-bardier is poised to fur-ther expand its customer base in the country with an expanding business jet portfolio to respond to the increasing business avia-tion requirements of the Chinese market.”Commercial Aircraft

China is destined to be-come the world’s second largest market for new commercial aircraft deliv-eries. In its Market Fore-cast for 2012 to 2031 that was released on June 19 this year, Bombardier pre-dicts a demand for approxi-mately 2,200 commercial aircraft in the 60- to 149-seat segment in China, 17 per cent of total world de-mand. As the sole aircraft manufacturer with three distinct and optimized fam-ilies of commercial aircraft in the 60- to 149-seat mar-ket segment, Bombardier is strategically positioned to support China’s booming air transport network.

“We are resolved to increase our presence in the region and deepen our relationship with our Chi-nese customers to better support their operations,” said Andy Solem, Vice-President, Sales, China and North Asia, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “Fleet and infrastructure expan-sion is crucial to the devel-opment of commercial avi-ation in China and we are collaborating closely with local airlines, suppliers and stakeholders to foster this growth.

“The very successful entry-into-service of the CRJ900 NextGen aircraft with China Express in Au-gust 2012 was a historic milestone for Bombardier

− the aircraft being the first ever of its type to fly in China. We look forward to welcoming many more operators in the country,” added Mr. Solem.

Airshow China 2012 ran from Tuesday, November 13 to Thursday, Novem-ber 15 for trade visitors, and was open to the public from Friday, November 16 to Sunday, November 18. The Bombardier booth, lo-cated in Hall 1 at D3-6, was closed for the duration of the public days.Bombardier aircraft on static display

Challenger 300 aircraft: The dependable Chal-lenger 300 jet offers true transcontinental range and superior long-range cruise speed, with eight to ten passengers. Its 3,065 nm (5,676 km) range con-nects Hong Kong with Delhi non-stop with eight passengers and NBAA IFR reserves. Its superior air-field performance allows it to operate out of 5,000 ft (1,524 m) runways with ease. The Challenger 300 jet offers the best perfor-mance and value in its class, combined with a dispatch reliability that has consistently been above 99.7 per cent, it has exceeded customer ex-pectations since its entry-into-service in 2004.

Challenger 850 aircraft: The Challenger 850 jet embodies comfort for its passengers by offering the largest cabin in its seg-ment with proven reliabil-ity, making it the choice of many for flights up to 2,811 nm (5,206 km). It can fly eight passengers from Hong Kong to Dar-win, Australia, non-stop.

Global 6000 aircraft: The Global 6000 jet’s un-rivalled cabin size and lev-els of comfort combined with a stand-up shower and the Bombardier Vision Flight Deck means no other purpose-built business jet comes close in terms of high-speed range capabil-ity and traveller comfort. Offering the ultimate in technology, this intrepid jet can link Shanghai to San Francisco non-stop, with eight passengers and three-to-four crew.About the CSeries flight deck and cabin demonstrators

The CSeries aircraft flight deck features a num-ber of technology-advanced communication and navi-gation aids and benefits from the latest avionics.

The integrated design ap-proach sets a new standard and offers reduced costs through increased opera-tional efficiency and re-duced pilot training, while improving reliability. The result is a finely tuned human-machine interface, which the demonstrator allows visitors to fully ex-perience.

The cabin, designed with flexibility and cus-tomization in mind and set up with a variety of seat selections and layouts from business class to all-

economy, allows visitors to experience first-hand the single-aisle CSeries aircraft’s widebody-type environment and comfort. Spacious seating, increased shoulder space, extra-large windows, latest-generation LED lighting and upsized, overhead storage – 20 to 25 per cent more volume per passenger than current state-of-the-art, narrow-body aircraft – are all yet another demonstration that the CSeries jetliner is what passengers have been seek-ing. b

my customers deserve the best.”

The QJ241 is Sand-vik’s smallest mobile jaw crusher with dimensions suitable for low loader trailers, and weighing just over 34 tons, it lends itself perfectly to varied opera-tions at construction sites. The single-toggle crusher has a feed opening of 1000 x 650mm, facilitat-ing production of up to 225 tons per hour depend-ing on the material and the required final material size. In Sutton’s recycling operation, 120 to 150 tph may be achieved when producing a 0/70mm end product. Furthermore, the reversible jaw crusher ac-cepts a maximum feed size of 500mm, and the fitment of a hydraulic wedge adjustment allows a CSS (closed side setting) range of 50 to 150 mm.

A major reason for Glenn Sutton’s decision to go with Sandvik is that the QJ241 has proved an ideal tool for efficient long-term use at construc-tion sites, recycling facili-ties and small quarries. One of its main assets in these operations is the extensive steel pipe work used in the hydraulics, which provides superior heat dissipation and a maintenance-free seal-ing solution. Additionally the displays, controls and service points are close to ground level, or easily ac-cessible via platforms. The machine also possesses several practical features including a standard fitted hydraulically driven cool-ing fan, with auto reverse, to back-flush dust from the radiator or the central auto lube on the jaw. Fur-thermore, and depending on operator requirements, the crusher can be oper-ated remotely by wireless control or via umbilical

cord.The use of a modern

PLC system on the QJ241 controls both the level sensor at the crusher in-feed, and the RPM of the main conveyor. The hy-draulically driven feeder with Grizzly allows au-tomatic control of the feed rate from the large hopper. Additional use of hydraulics sees a hy-draulic raise and lower facility on the 800mm wide tail conveyor, which provides clearance for the overband magnet thereby guaranteeing smooth and continuous discharge.

A key feature of all Sandvik mobile crushers, and the QJ241 in particu-lar, has been the minimi-zation of operating costs. This has been achieved via load-optimized control of the hydraulics, and the use of a modern 168-kW CAT C7.1 Acert engine that is compliant with EU Stage IIIb emissions. These developments have led to a significant decrease in fuel consumption even in high-capacity operations. The benefits have already proved evident for Glenn Sutton as he states that af-ter 150 hours of operation. “Compared with previous crushers we have used, the QJ241 now achieves in all applications 25% more output and consumes 30% less fuel.”

Sutton Services and Glenn Sutton represent the new breed of demo-lition contractors who not only aim to complete projects to the highest standard possible, but also aim to do so by us-ing the very latest equip-ment, thereby maximizing on site health and safety, whilst minimizing their environmental footprint. The new Sandvik QJ241, the first in East Anglia, represents new standards of performance geared to both end-material quality and project profitability, and its purchase by Glenn Sutton marks the 20th year of Sutton Services Limited perfectly. b

The Canadian Con-struction Association was pleased to hear the recent announcement that the new Federal Skilled Trades Program is being launched on January 2, 2013. This new program will build the foundation to address la-bour shortages in the Cana-dian construction industry, while supporting increased growth for the Canadian economy.

“The introduction of a dedicated and stream-lined program for skilled trades addresses many of the shortcomings from the current Federal Skilled Worker Program,” said Mi-chael Atkinson, President of the Canadian Construc-tion Association. “The new program ensures greater consideration is given to the needs of industry when processing eligible immi-gration applications.”

The current Federal Skilled Worker Program is not well-oriented to the

needs of trades and indus-try, placing significant em-phasis on post-secondary education, and high profi-ciency levels in Canada’s official languages. Under the new program, the old 100-point system is being scrapped in favour of four basic criteria, which give much more weight to prac-tical training, work experi-ence, basic proficiency in English or French, and the level of demand for a spe-cific trade.

Current projections from the Construction Sec-tor Council indicate that the Canadian construction industry will need 320,000 new workers by 2020. This, coupled with project-ed growth for the Canadian construction industry, is putting increased strain on industry.

While skilled training in Canada has remained very important, the domestic population growth will not provide an adequate supply

of labour to fulfill industry needs. The Canadian Con-struction Association has long supported the need for a flexible immigration sys-tem as a means to address these labour shortages, and help support overall eco-nomic competitiveness.

The announcement is another example in a series of positive steps undertak-en by Citizenship and Im-migration Canada to build a more efficient immigra-tion system; a system that meets the needs of not just the Canadian construction industry, but the needs of Canada as it relates to a healthy and vibrant Cana-dian economy.

“These new measures, together with earlier an-nounced changes, includ-ing the move to an Expres-sion of Interest system by 2014 for the immigration process, promise to make Canada’s permanent immi-gration system much more responsive to the needs of Canadian employers,” Atkinson continued. “We look forward to continuing to work with the Govern-ment of Canada as it builds a fast, flexible, and efficient immigration system to sup-port the Canadian econo-my.” b

For the last 20 years, Glenn Sutton and Sutton Services Ltd have been providing a high quality demolition and disman-tling service in East An-glia. Due to an increasing work load, and in order to improve efficiency, Glenn Sutton decided it was time for the company to up-grade their crusher.

East Anglia-based Sut-ton Services Ltd is a lead-ing demolition contractor and general building dis-mantlers that have rapidly expanded in recent years. This has been achieved by drawing on a wealth of ex-perience in the demolition industry, but at the same time proudly minimizing environmental impact. Di-rectors and staff possess a vast working knowledge of the industry and its ever evolving nature, with a key feature of their suc-cess being the emphasis placed on regular liaison with the relevant authori-ties. This has enabled the company to keep abreast of changes to working practices, thus aiding in implementation on site.

In order to ensure operational efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and compliance with changing regula-tions, Glenn Sutton, Man-aging Director of Sutton Services, realized that in the company’s 20th year a new crushing solution would be needed if they were to maintain competi-tive advantage. As Glenn explains, “When you are in business, you can’t sit back and rest on your lau-rels. Over the last 20 years we have developed a loyal and expanding customer base who expects the very best in service. Although I’ve tried to ensure that our equipment is the best out there, it was becoming obvious that we needed a more modern and com-pact crushing solution.” With this need identified, Glenn sought out the best value machine on the market, and looked at var-ious crushers from differ-ing manufacturers before settling on the new QJ241 from Sandvik Construc-tion. As Glenn continues – “The QJ241 is meant to be the best out there, and


Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corpo-ration recently announced it will help to develop an underwater, utility-scale energy generation system for the United States Navy. Eaton is contracted to sup-port the project’s land-based engineering, and will develop high-voltage elec-trical distribution equip-ment to efficiently convert and transmit safe, reliable alternative energy from the depths of the ocean to Navy shore facilities.

Eaton’s participation in the project is in collabora-tion with privately held marine service providers Eclipse Group Inc., leading underwater construction efforts, and Triton Energy Systems, LLC, leading un-derwater generation engi-neering efforts.

Eaton Announces utility-Scale underwater Energy Generation

The emergency low-ering device recently introduced by J D Neu-haus for their EH range of air-operated hoists can now also be sup-plied as a standard fea-ture on their Profi Ti line from 25 to 60 tons lift capacity.

Hoists incorporating the emergency lower-ing device option are equipped with a sepa-rate air tank, with two additional buttons also incorporated into the hand controllers. This air reservoir is automat-ically maintained at the full working air pressure during normal hoist op-erations. This ensures the availability of a pos-itive emergency braking system when required, and the air tank is also protected by a check valve. Certification by Det Norske Veritas can also be provided on re-quest, to comply with safety requirements in-volving applications for

offshore cranes as well as power driven hoists.

The device becomes operable in the event of a severe reduction or to-tal loss of mains air pres-sure. It then provides practical two-handed operation to avoid unin-tentional lowering. One of the control button switches then selects be-tween normal hoist op-eration and emergency lowering. The second control button opens the integrated operational brake to facilitate a con-trolled lowering of the suspended load under the action of its own dead weight. Where the Profi hoists are equipped with trolleys for lateral move-ments, the reservoir air tank can be mounted on the chain box container. For static hoists, the res-ervoir can be mounted anywhere convenient within the surrounding working area.

The Profi Ti range of JDN products are suit-

able for all engineering applications throughout a wide range of indus-tries including oil and gas exploration and pro-cessing, mining, ship-building, foundries, the chemical industry and heavy plant construc-tion.

They are designed to comply with Ex operat-ing ratings, suitable for working in hazardous areas or potentially ex-plosive environments. They are insensitive to humidity and dust laden atmospheres, and can operate at temperatures from -20°C to +70°C. Instant starting, mini-mum maintenance and low air consumption are their positive features, coupled with compact low-headroom design. Other standard features include emergency shut-off valve together with both anti-climb and anti-drop devices. Optional accessories in-clude increased spark protection (and higher Ex rating), overload protection, rack and pinion trolley drive with two speed travel control and filter silencers. b
