A $35 million highwayimprovement project — aimedat reducing congestion alongHighway 50 and connectingPlacerville’s business districts— was recently completedwithin the city.

By Erik PisorCEG CORRESPONDENT

Located along California’s main route to and from South Lake Tahoe,U.S. Highway 50, the city of Placerville typically is not the site of larg-er, highway construction projects, as the city has a population of around10,000.

However, a $35 million highway improvement project — aimed atreducing congestion along Highway 50 and connecting Placerville’sbusiness districts — was recently completed within the city.

As of October, San Francisco-based Mitchell Engineering had fin-ished work on the U.S. Highway 50 Operational Improvement Project,which began in June 2006, according to Mic Restaino, resident engineerfor Caltrans District 3.

Spanning 1.4 mi. (2.2 km), the project consisted of bridge wideningand replacement, the relocation of sewer lines, the building of a directconnection between two Placerville streets and highway widening.

Construction of the project was broken down in two stages, with fiveto six sub- stages of construction occurring at each location, said

A dynamic apprenticeship program will notby itself save the U.S. construction industryfrom a looming shortage of skilled labor, but itis “one of the pieces of the puzzle” to stabiliz-ing the labor situation, say industry leaders.

Unions, contractors and associations operateapprenticeship programs mostly to teach tradeskills. However, they also hope the programswill swell the ranks of craftspeople and retain

their workplace allegiance for a lifetime. Theultimate goal of every apprenticeship programsponsor in the country is to boost both the qual-ity and quantity of trained construction labor-ers. How they pursue this common objectivediffers in a variety of ways.

To produce skilled workers in such fields ascarpentry, cement masonry and constructionlaborer, contractors in the Master Builders’Association of Western Pennsylvania mostlywork through trade unions. It is an associationthat goes back a long ways: the Master

Builders’Association — a founding member ofAssociated General Contractors — and the car-penters union both date from the 1880s.

The success of apprenticeship programs inPittsburgh is evident in the new $13 milliontraining center of the Carpenters JointApprenticeship and Training Program. Groundwas broken a year ago for the center, which sitsadjacent to the carpenters’ headquarters. The93,000-sq-ft. facility is state of the art, accord-ing to Jon O’Brien, MBA’s director of commu-

Annual Chicago Construction Expo Draws Nears

By Lori LovelyCEG CORRESPONDENT

For the third time in 20 years, Mike Myszkowski,Illinois Department of Transportation engineer, isresurfacing the Bishop Ford Freeway just outside ofChicago. In 1989, a “surface fix” was performed,putting down a 2-in. (5 cm) layer of asphalt. In 1998,the work needed to be repeated, due to wear causedby heavy traffic. Nearly 10 years later, the road onceagain needs repair.

The current rehabilitation project involves resur-facing all lanes and shoulders of the 9-mi. (14.5 km)stretch of freeway between Martin Luther KingDrive and 159th Street, as well as pavement patch-ing, bridge repairs, new guardrail installation andexit/entrance ramp resurfacing — including theStony Island Feeder Ramp.

One of nearly 250 “shovel-ready” constructionprojects in Illinois, the $27.5 million job, funded bythe Stimulus Plan — President Obama’s AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act, is a joint ventureheaded by Chicago area-based Gallagher Asphaltand K-Five Construction. Let in April, work got

When the U.S. Senate failed in September to enact six-year transporta-tion legislation or to extend the existing funding authority in a responsibleway, it created a billion-dollar-a-month hole for the construction industry.

“The baseline for the federal highway account is reduced by a billiondollars each month we have a continuing resolution,” said Tony Dorsey,media spokesman of the American Association of State Highway andTransportation Officials (AASHTO). “It will cost our members one bil-lion dollars every month we have a resolution.”

While the huge loss is mostly on paper — so far — it nonetheless is a

drag on the construction economy. Here’s the deal: Though the Senate agreed with the House at the very last moment to a

one-month extension of existing transportation funding authority, senatorsfailed to include a provision to roll back funding rescissions stipulated inthe last six-year bill. The $8.7 billion in rescission money was a book-keeping method of understating the true cost of SAFETEA-LU, whichwas passed in 2005 (two years into the six years of its effective authority).The sleight of hand was needed to help win legislative support. However,the scheduled rescissions never were voided, as planned, and inadvertent-ly became effective Oct. 1.

“For most states, it is not hard cash money, just promise money,” said

Congress Lags on Highway Bill Extension

Start Us Up USA!, a nationwide grass-roots campaign of the construction equip-ment industry and their allies, descendedupon Chicago Oct. 20 with a rally of localbusiness and labor leaders and construc-tion workers calling on the federal gov-ernment to move quickly on the reautho-rization of a critical transportation bill.

New transportation funding is neces-sary to improve the nation’s infrastructureand spur a recovery of the constructionequipment industry, especially in hard-hitstates like Illinois. The rally was followed

by a caravan of construction equipment,idled by the lack of federal support, parad-ing around Soldier Field to urge the feder-al government to stop job loss.

“The construction equipment industryis in a deep depression and we have lost33,000 jobs in Illinois and 37 percent ofour workforce nationwide the past fewyears,” said Toby Mack, president andCEO of the Associated EquipmentDistributors (AED), based in Oak Brook,Ill.

A short 19-mi. (30.5 km) stretch of road justnorth of Detroit has been transformed into animprovement project with a rather complicatedstrategy. Extensive work on the I-96/I-696 cor-ridor in Oakland and Macomb counties has beendivided into four separate projects.Project 1 consists of rehabilitation of eightbridges and repair of 4 mi. (6.4 km) of pavementin Oakland County between Novi and Halstedroads, including the I-96/I-696/M-5 interchangein Novi and Farmington Hills. Project 2 picks up where the first project endsand involves pavement patching and rehabilita-tion of 42 bridges on I-696 in Oakland Countybetween Halsted and Campbell-Hilton roads. Project 3 focuses on rehabilitating 22 bridgeson I-696, 15 of which are located within the I-696/Mound Road interchange.Project 4 includes rehabilitation of six bridgesand extensive pavement repairs to I-696between Hayes and Nieman roads in MacombCounty. Also included are safety upgrades andlighting replacement on the median and ramps.

OverlapFor all practical purposes, the $67 millionoverall project has been divided into two con-tracts — east and west — with two prime con-tractors: Dan’s Excavating out of Grant, Mich.,on the west contract and C.A. Hall on the east. But even that division is a little blurry.“There are overlapping facets,” says BobDaavettila, construction director for Tetra Tech,

particularly concerning the bridge work. A total of 56 bridges will undergo rehabilita-tion. Because C.A. Hall is a subcontractor for allbridge work on both contracts and since there’sa lot of bridge work in the west contract, Hall isdoing considerable work on both. “Because they’re a major sub, it leads to a lotof coordination. Hall is at all the meetings forthe Dan’s contract.”According to Daavettila, the two big con-tracts consist of a two-year project for $47 mil-lion to reconstruct pavement from Novi toFarmington Hills — the west project — and a

$14 million contract to conduct bridge rehabili-tation and concrete patching on I-696 — the eastproject. The west contract involves significantamounts of overlay, but there is none on the eastcontract. Instead, there is, as Daavettila says, “alot of concrete patching.”

Health care reform in the United States has been beaten nearly to deaththis year by advocates and critics alike. Yet as the debate moves intoOctober, the final shape of “reform” remains elusive and elastic with con-struction industry executives anxious about its impact on their companies.Any change in the system definitely will have impact on contractorsand a sweeping change could upend smaller firms — and most construc-tion companies are small-to-medium-sized. The truth of the matter is the

reform model in which government would provide most health care serv-ices would dramatically change the way every business operates, large orsmall.It is impractical to hope that health care reform will be tailored to theconstruction industry. Nevertheless, small businesses consistently favorcertain reform initiatives over others.

Phoenix Water Main Undergoing Innovative Methods

When the 17-mi. (27 km) long Phoenixwater main was originally installed in 1975,the pipeline from its treatment plant tra-versed largely undeveloped land, but thecity’s significant growth over the past 33years has brought residential and commer-cial development adjacent to and directlyabove the waterline easement.

So when a condition assessment of theexisting prestressed concrete cylinder pipe(PCCP) using electromagnetic and forensicanalysis identified the need to completelyrehabilitate the pipeline, innovative con-struction techniques were used to achievedual objectives: employ least possible intru-sive methods while providing a long termrehabbed finished product, keeping time andcost factors in mind.

Currently, general contractor KiewitWestern is on track to rehabilitate 18,000 ft.(5,500 m) of Priority 1 area (areas of criticalrehab need) using split can sliplining pipe.

Nine Access PitsIn order to gain access to the buried exist-

ing pipe, nine large excavations called por-tals were constructed, spaced betweenTempe and Mesa. Due to extremely poorsoil conditions along the Salt River andaforementioned city developments, the deeppits were shored using the slide rail shoringmethod of soil support. Roughly 35,550 sq.ft. (3,300 sq m) of slide rail were used,sourcing from three manufacturers. Three

portals were 54 ft. (16 m) long, 24 ft. (7.3 m)wide, and 23 ft. (7 m) deep; three were 50 ft.(15 m) long, 34 ft. (10 m) wide, and 29 ft.(8.8 m) deep; and the three largest were 90 ft.(27 m) long, 25 ft. (7.6 m) wide, and 24 ft.(7.3 m) deep.

Slide Rail System Slide Rail for the 90 ft. long portal was

manufactured by PRO-TEC Equipment,Charlotte, Mich., and supplied by localshoring specialists Trench Shore Rentals,which is headquartered in Scottsdale and has

branches in Phoenix and Tucson. In additionto 8 by 20 ft. (2.4 by 6 m) by 4 in. (10 cm)thick and 8 by 16 ft. (2.4 by 4.8 m) by 4 in.thick panels used, 55 ft. (16 m) externalWalers, braced to spreader and corner posts,were used to provide clear span accessibility.PRO-TEC’s Railing Post System, a guardrail device that enhanced the safety factor ofjob site personnel, was installed around theperimeter of the excavation.

Split Can LinersSplit can liners consist of steel plate rolled

to the required diameter but not longitudi-nally welded. They are banded to a diame-ter about 10 in. (25 cm) less than the hostpipe diameter. The existing PCCP piperanges from 72 to 96 in. (182 to 243 cm) indiameter.

Slipliners are installed through the portals,spaced approximately 2,500 to 3,000 ft. (762to 914 m) apart. Typically, two pipe sectionsare removed at each portal and steel linersare installed in each direction from the pit.

A cradle was installed between the PCCPsections at each portal. The liners wereplaced on the cradle and transported to thecorrect position within the host PCCP pipe.Once in place, the bands were cut from thesteel liners and tack welded. After severalliners had been fitted into place, the linerswere welded longitudinally and circumfer-entially. The annular space between the fin-ished line and host PCCP pipe is then grout-ed.

The overall project was started in 2005and is targeted for final completion in 2013.

PRO-TEC’s Railing Post Guard Rail system enhances the safety factor of jobsite per-sonnel.

Split can steel liners are banded to a diameter 10 in. (25.4 cm) smaller than the hostPCCP pipe to allow easy installation.

Walers, braced to spreader and corner posts, are placed outside the excavation toprovide clear span accessibility.


T.J. Campbell Teams Up With Kirby-Smith MachineryFor practically every new business there’s

a visionary, and for paving contractor T.J.Campbell Construction Co., that person wasthe late Ted Campbell.

“He was the dreamer, the motivator andthe risk-taker that you have to be to be anentrepreneur in these times,” saidCampbell’s wife, Jo Anna Campbell, whoinitially helped her husband as a bookkeeperand today serves as president of the compa-ny.

“Ted was a forward thinker.”Ted Campbell passed away about seven

years ago, but more than 30 years after helaunched T.J. Campbell Construction, hisdrive and vision for the company continuesto live on. From humble beginnings, thisOklahoma City-based business remainsfamily-owned and today has more than 180employees.

As president, Campbell helps oversee thefinancial end of the business and sharesownership with a five-person board of direc-tors that is made up mostly of family mem-bers. Her son, David Pickens, is vice presi-dent of Finance.

Her two sons-in-law on the board areO’Flynn Sewell, vice president ofProduction, and Mike Thomas, vice presi-dent of sales. Rounding out the board is VicePresident of Construction Don Dorn.

Other family members involved in thebusiness include Campbell’s granddaugh-ter’s husband, Jo Don Clanton, who runs anasphalt plant, and grandson Brian Sewell,who helps with sales and bidding. In addi-tion, Dorn’s son, Donnie Dorn III, assistswith estimating and computer support.

Paving Professionals Working together, they lead a company

that is active in both commercial and publicconstruction markets. Those projects mightinclude heavy highway, airport, municipaland commercial paving.

“We do road paving — streets and roads— and we do some highway work,”Campbell said. “But right now we’re prima-rily doing subdivision work, building newsubdivisions from the ground up.”

“We’ll start off by clearing the timber andactually building the site,” said the seniorDorn of the company’s subdivision work.“We don’t do water and sanitary sewer.Another contractor will come in and do thewater and sanitary sewer and then we’llcome back in and do the storm sewer and thepaving.”

Dorn said the majority of that work iswithin the area bounded by Shawnee to theeast, El Reno to the west and Guthrie to thenorth, although they have traveled farther asneeded. “We also do rotomilling for othercontractors,” Campbell added. “We take ourmilling machine all over the state. We’ve

even been to Arkansas and Texas.”T.J. Campbell also operates two hot-mix

asphalt plants, one at the office headquartersin Oklahoma City and another north ofEdmond.

Those plants each produce about 200,000tons (181,400 t) of hot mix each year andhave their own fleet of trucks to facilitatedelivery.

In addition, T.J. Campbell operates threeconcrete and asphalt recycling centers in theOklahoma City area that have the capacity totake old concrete and asphalt rubble andmanufacture it into high-quality aggregatesthat meet ODOT specifications. Annualsales of its recycled aggregates exceed300,000 tons.

T.J. Campbell also is capable of bringingits crushing operation to a jobsite.

Company GrowthAll told, T.J. Campbell exceeds $20 mil-

lion annually in sales, which is a far cry fromwhen the business started in 1978.

“I think we had three employees,”Campbell recalled. “We started in a single-wide mobile home. Then we graduated to adouble-wide mobile home and added abuilding to the back of that before we finallybuilt our current building about 16 yearsago.”

Campbell said it began with an asphaltplant. “Ted always wanted to have an asphaltplant,” she said. “At first, we thought wecould do that and not have to deal with buy-ing all the equipment that goes with being apaving contractor. But it didn’t take us toolong to figure out we had to use our ownproduct to really make a go of it.”

Always looking ahead, Campbell said herhusband was recycling material before itwas fashionable. “We had the first recycling

asphalt plant in Oklahoma City and Ted wasalways really proud of that,” she said. “Bothfor the environmental impact and for theprofitability.”

T.J. Campbell had to survive some chal-lenging times when the oil market droppedin the early 1980s, but some notable projectshave followed in the years since, includingthe construction of roadways at theGaillardia subdivision in Oklahoma City, a65,000-ton mill and overlay project inMidwest City and the replacement of a mainrunway at Tinker Air Force Base.

“We worked 24 hours a day on that run-way paving project,” Dorn recalled. “Weworked under the lights. All our equipmentand all our help were out there doing thatjob. It was probably the biggest we’ve everdone.”

More recently, T.J. Campbell received anational award for its work widening theintersection of Reno Street and EasternAvenue in Oklahoma City.

“That was a full-depth replacement jobfor the ODOT,” Dorn said.

“It was very gratifying,” Campbell added.

Komatsu ProductivityIt’s a resume of accomplishments helped

made possible by a top-tier fleet of equip-ment, including numerous pieces ofKomatsu equipment acquired from Kirby-Smith Machinery. The equipment list at T.J.Campbell includes multiple Komatsu exca-vators ranging in size from PC220s toPC300s, several Komatsu loaders from theWA250 to WA380s, and three Komatsu doz-ers — two D39s and a D65.

Dorn said the company’s first experiencewith Komatsu was a PC200LC-5 excavatormany years ago.

“We had experience with other brands and

the Komatsu just outperformed them,” Dornsaid. “We knew it was the best machine outthere.

“Our guys today like our Komatsu exca-vators,” Dorn continued. “They’re comfort-able. They can sit in them all day long andthey like the controls. Plus, they outperformeverything. For the value we get out of them,I don’t think we could buy a bettermachine.”

Dorn said they’ve been similarly pleasedwith their Komatsu loaders. “Like the exca-vators, they’re easy to run. I don’t think theyhave a down side.”

T.J. Campbell acquired its D65 dozer as aused piece of equipment and Dorn said it’sbeen extremely productive. “We have tworough-dirt crews that move the big dirt,” heexplained. “We knock everything down withour D65. We love it. It’s a good dozer. Wereplaced several of our other brand dozerswith the Komatsu dozer and the operators alllike the Komatsu better.”

T.J. Campbell has several technicians onstaff to deal with mechanical breakdownsand service. For issues that are under war-ranty — and even for some that aren’t —Campbell said Kirby-Smith has lent a help-ing hand.

“We want somebody we can depend on,”Campbell said. “We’re looking for a compa-ny that can help us out when we need it.We’ve always known we can get that fromKirby-Smith. And our Kirby-Smith TerritoryManager Bill Gustafson has been great towork with.”

Three Decades in BusinessWith the right equipment in place, T.J.

Campbell Construction marked 30 years inbusiness in July of 2008. Campbell attributesperseverance and a solid group of loyalemployees for the company’s longevity.

“We like Winston Churchill’s saying,” shesaid. “Never, never, never give up.”

It’s an approach to business that beganwith Ted Campbell, when the company wasfounded, and continues today.

“We never thought we couldn’t make it,”Campbell said. “At times we were stum-bling, but we still felt like we were going tomake it and we did.

“Ted’s credo was he didn’t want our peo-ple to do work that we wouldn’t be proud of.He wanted it done right.”

“Ted had an excellent reputation,” Dornadded. “If he were here and you had achance to meet him, you would know thatfailure was not in his vocabulary. It just was-n’t an option, and that’s the same way we dobusiness today.”

AWPAChapter Recognizes Highway 50 as Project of the Year

Francisco Charvet, project manager of Mitchell Engineering,who was the lowest qualified bidder on the project.

The majority of stage one work involved replacing themedian section of the West Placerville Drive/Highway 50overcrossing, and connecting West Placerville Drive withMain Street and Forni Road.

In order to connect the three city streets the existingHighway 50/West Placerville undercrossing was demolishedand a new bridge was constructed over Hangtown Creek,which runs between Placerville Drive and Main Street.

During bridge construction a combination of owned andrented cranes, concrete pumps, pile driving equipment, back-hoes, loaders and grinders were utilized, Charvet said.

Because bridgework occurred above and aroundHangtown Creek, Mitchell Engineering and its subcontrac-tors had to comply with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, CaliforniaDepartment of Fish and Game, and California RegionalWater Quality Control Board agreements, which representeda project challenge.

Specific environmental requirements included protectingthe habitat of the California red-legged frogs, which live inand around Hangtown Creek.

Mitchell Engineering also had to deal with environmentalissues related to asbestos-containing materials, air monitor-ing and contaminated materials.

An aspect of both stage one and two construction involvedbuilding a Highway 50 eastbound auxiliary lane, which nowruns from the Placerville Drive onramp to Clay Street.

Due to the presence of “very hard rock material” trackdrills and excavators, equipped with hoe-rams and rockbreaker attachments, were required to demolish nearly40,000 psi of rock during highway widening construction,Charvet said.

“The project was extended 33 working days, by changeorder, as a result of hard rock excavation for onramp con-struction,” Restaino added.

In total more than 9,800 cu. yds. (7,500 cu m) of roadwayand structural material was excavated during the project.

During roadway excavation and fill work other heavyequipment utilized, besides excavators and track drills,included: dozers, backhoes, loaders, compactors, haul trucksand various paving and striping equipment.

Aside from auxiliary lane construction, the majority ofstage two construction involved bridgework and sewer linerelocation.

Utility relocation work included the replacement of a5,000 ft. (1,520 m) of existing sewer line/pipe that was locat-ed in Hangtown Creek, and the relocation of the sewer col-lection system along lower Main Street.

Heavy equipment such as dozers, backhoes, loaders, exca-vators, rollers, compactors and haul trucks were used whenrelocating and replacing sewer lines.

More than 1,470 yds. (1,350 m) of sewer and drainagepipe was used for this aspect of the improvement project,according to Charvet.

Bridgework that took place during stage two included

replacing an eastbound portion of the PlacervilleDrive/Highway 50 overcrossing and completing the newHangtown Creek Bridge, which was started in stage one andconnects West Placerville Drive to Main Street.

In an attempt to improve the operation of local cross traf-fic, stage two also included the replacement or widening ofthree local bridges that connect Main Street to Highway 50.

The Bedford Avenue Pedestrian overcrossing was rebuilt,with CIDH pile work occurring during stage one; and theSpring and Canal street bridges were widened.

Additionally signal upgrades were made at the CanalStreet, Spring Street and Bedford Avenue intersections.

When all bridge work reached completion, in both stages,more than 6,400 cu. yds. (4,900 cu m) of structural concreteand more than 1.2 million lbs. (550,000 kg) of bar reinforc-ing steel was used, Charvet said.

Other materials used during the project included: morethan 26,500 ton (24,000 t) of Type-A asphalt concrete, morethan 1,020 cu. yds. (780 cu m) of minor concrete, and 2,450yds. (2,240 m) of concrete barrier.

Throughout the life of the project, a day and night shift ofworkers was maintained. The peak number of Mitchell fieldemployees reached 60 and was comprised of various craftsincluding operators, carpenters and laborers.

Because work occurred in two shifts and throughPlacerville, each stage of construction required a unique traf-fic-handling plan to accommodate the public, businesses,and emergency services, Restaino said.

Upon completion, the project was awarded the 2009Project of the Year award from American Public WorksAssociation Sacramento Chapter, in the $10 to $50 milliontransportation project category,

Subcontractors on the project included: Martin Brothers,asphalt paving; Central Striping, roadway striping and mark-ings; Tennyson Electric, electrical and signalization;Contractors Chemical Inc., polyester overlay and expansionjoints; MBI, project barriers; GR Trucking, off-haul truck-ing; Swisher Concrete, minor concrete; Harris Salinas, barreinforcing steel; Tilbury Welding, decorative fencing instal-lation; Bailey Fence and Empire Fence, project fencing.

CALTRANS from page 1

Spanning 1.4 mi. (2.2 km), the project consisted ofbridge widening and replacement, the relocation ofsewer lines, the building of a direct connection betweentwo Placerville streets and highway widening.

As of October, San Francisco-based MitchellEngineering had finished work on the U.S. Highway 50Operational Improvement Project, which began inJune 2006, according to Mic Restaino, resident engi-neer for Caltrans District 3.

Bridgework that took place during stage two includedreplacing an eastbound portion of the PlacervilleDrive/Highway 50 overcrossing and completing thenew Hangtown Creek Bridge, which was started instage one and connects West Placerville Drive to MainStreet.

In total more than 9,800 cu. yds. (7,500 cu m) of road-way and structural material was excavated during theproject.

A new 2 mi. (3.2 km) long, four lane roadis being built in the city of Honolulu onHawaii’s Oahu island. New roadway con-struction of this size for the island state isvery uncommon. Most road projects arereplacement or widenings, simply becausethere is no room to build new.

Goodfellow Bros. Inc., based out ofWenatchee, Wash., with an office in Kihei,Hawaii, won the bid to build the project. Ithad no previous slipform experience and noslipforming equipment. When it started theprocess of looking for a concrete paver, itknew it wanted a machine that was versatile,large enough to pave roadway, but also smallenough to work in Hawaii’s confined job-site areas. Ultimately, it chose the GOMA-CO four-track Commander III.

“We went with the Commander IIIbecause it will be more versatile on futureprojects,” Matt Heahlke, project manager ofGoodfellow, said. “We can use it for high-way slipforming, barrier walls, curb and gut-ter. We won’t have a large quantity job likethis again. The projects will be smaller, morechopped up, and the Commander III is muchmore versatile for that.”

Its new Commander III is currently slip-forming on the new North/South Road,phase 1B, which includes approximately2,300 cu. yds. (1,758 cu m) of 10 in. (25.4cm) thick concrete pavement. Work on theproject began in January 2008 and it isscheduled for completion in January 2010.

When Goodfellow was purchasing equip-ment for its new concrete paving venture, italso added an RTP-500 rubber-tracked plac-er and a T/C-600 texture/cure machine. TheRTP-500 was purchased as a concrete plac-er, but the company also has been utilizingits long reaching capabilities to back-fill itsKeystone retaining and structural walls proj-ects. It placed concrete for the first time onthe brand new road.

“This is virgin construction through oldsugar cane fields,” Heahlke explained. “Theroad is the new corridor servicing the futureUniversity of Hawaii West Campus and alsothe department of Hawaiian HomelandsHousing Development. It’s extremely rare tohave brand new road construction, becauseit’s such a limited area to begin with.”

Goodfellow is using the RTP-500 to placeconcrete onto the untreated permeable base.Dowel baskets are placed every 12.5 ft. (3.8m) for the transverse joint. The concrete is a650 flex mix design and provided by localproducer, Island Ready-Mix. Dump trucks

carry 10 cu. yd. (7.6 cu m) loads of concreteand dump into the RTP’s hopper. Concreteslump averages 2 in. (5 cm).

The Commander III is set up to slipformeach lane at 12 ft. (3.7 m) wide, 10 in. (25.4cm) thick. Production on the longer stretch-

es of pavement averages around 120 cu. yds.(91.7 cu m) per hour during an eight-hourpaving shift.

All of the paving is being done at night.This allows Goodfellow complete control ofthe batch plant to ensure it gets the volumeof concrete necessary to feed the pavingoperation. It also creates cooler workingconditions for the crew, while eliminatingthe worry of the concrete curing too fast andcracking because of extreme temperatures.

The Commander III also is being used toslipform the 8.5 ft. (2.6 m) wide concreteshoulders.

AT/C-600 texture/cure machine, set at 16ft. (4.9 m) wide between its two tracks, fol-lows behind the Commander III. It appliesthe state of Hawaii required AstroTurf drag,transverse tining, and SINAK lithium spraycure.

The state also has smoothness require-ments. Hawaii utilizes the California profilo-graph and two-tenths blanking band tomeasure their project’s smoothness. A read-ing of a 10 or less ensures 100 percent payon the project. Goodfellow has had no prob-lems achieving good rideability.

“Overall, our rideability is very smooth,”Heahlke said. “This is Goodfellow’s firstconcrete slipform paving job and we’re veryimpressed with the GOMACO equipment.We’re definitely in the concrete paving busi-ness for good. We can’t wait to get moreprojects.”

All the paving was done at night.

Goodfellow Bros. chose the GOMACO four-track CommanderIII for the project.

Dowel baskets are placed every 12.5 ft. (3.8 m) for the trans-verse joint.

Dynapac Unveils New Pneumatic Rubber Tire Rollers The Dynapac CP224, CP224W and

CP274 are equipped with a spaciousplatform and operator-friendly con-trols, rotating and sideways sliding seatand steering assembly. The optionalcomfort cab provides all-round visibil-ity with the added benefit of air condi-tioning.

The new rollers are powered by TierIII compliant engines, which offerreduced emissions as well as low lev-els of ambient noise due to the use ofthermostatically controlled coolingfans. The quality of the finished sur-face is further enhanced by an ultra-smooth start/stop system when chang-ing direction, according to the manu-facturer.

The machines incorporate severalnew features designed to enhance effi-ciency, serviceability, safety and oper-ator comfort as well as producingenhanced compaction results.

A dual-circuit braking system main-tains full braking effect even if one cir-cuit is disabled.

Like all Dynapac machines, thesenew rollers are built on a modular basisand share many components and sub-systems with other models. This parts

commonality results in areas wherecost savings can be made such as serv-icing and spare parts management.

The Dynapac CP224, CP224W andCP274 models have compactingwidths ranging from 71 to 91 in. (180to 231 cm) and maximum operatingweights from 23 to 30 ton (20.8 to 27t). They are ideally suited for a widevariety of finishing, sealing and soilcompaction applications using theoptimum number of passes due to ahighly accurate control system andoptional DCA-A compaction analyzerwhen absolute accuracy is a must.

With the optional temperature sen-sor and Dynapac’s DCA-A analyzer,the new machines can achieve the opti-mum density and surface texture whileproviding full statistics and documen-tation. This system also can play backthe rolling pattern and produce a printout of all relevant information, eitheronto paper or a PDF file for later analy-sis.

The air-on-the run system can evenadjust the tire pressure during the com-paction process.

BusinessCalendarApprenticeships Include at Least4,000 Hours of On-the-Job Trainingnications.

“Anything you can think of that will enhance training theyhave incorporated into the building.”

The four-year apprenticeship training includes 144 hoursof annual classroom work and at least 4,000 hours of on-the-job training over four years. If an apprentice completes therigorous instruction and passes the muster of his supervisors,a designation of journeyman carpenter is his reward.

In addition, the certificate of carpentry apprenticeship istransferable to the Community College of Allegheny Countyfor 30 credits, which can be applied toward an associatedegree in building construction estimation or supervision.

Approximately 1,000 students enroll each year in carpen-ter and laborer apprenticeship programs. O’Brien said he ispleased to see more qualified people being attracted to theprograms, which he attributes to current economic condi-tions.

“Jobs are hard to come by and a lot of young people arelooking toward the trades,” he said. “We are looking at thequality of the applicants going off the charts, many of themjust out of college.”

He said the typical applicant to the program used to be 28to 29 years of age. Now people entering the program are inthe 25-year-old range.

“I think they will be in for the long term, too. Right aroundthe mid-20s a lot of young people are starting families. Theywant benefits and the unions are a viable option.”

Still, local contractors realize that the long-term trend forthe industry labor pool is not good, with more skilled peopleretiring than are entering the trades. To address the problem,some of the unions in western Pennsylvania are changingpension rules. It used to be that working 30 years or reach-ing age 55 was sufficient tenure to earn 100 percent pensionbenefits. Last year, the figures were adjusted to 35 years orage 62.

“This is one way they tackle the issue,” O’Brien said. “Ithink it is a pretty nice little Band-Aid. Hopefully, it will giveyoung people an opportunity to assume leadership on the jobsite.”

Landau Building Company, a Pittsburgh-area fixture inthe contracting industry for more than a century, is an activeparticipant in the Master Builders’ Association apprentice-ship effort. Carpentry and laborer apprentices are employedby Landau, as well as co-op students from area schoolsincluding the University of Pittsburgh.

“We definitely see the value of the apprenticeship pro-grams,” said Jen Landau, a project manager at the companyand a member of the MBAYoung Constructors Committee.“We have a lot of apprentices who have spent all four yearsworking for Landau and become journeymen. We have oneright now who is going through superintendent training.”

Landau said apprentices are welcomed into the workplaceby their more established peers in the workforce, as well asby management.

“There has been talk in the past how the older generationof carpenters hasn’t been cooperative, saying ‘This guy justwants to take my job.’ But I have never seen that personallyand I believe the more experienced carpenters reallyembrace the young tradesmen.”

Sometimes apprentice programs are farmed out to com-

munity college campuses, which usually is a good fit. Butnot always. In LaCrosse, Wis., a carpenters program operat-ed for years by Western Technical College was taken back bythe local carpenters union. Class schedules were the prob-lem.

“They said their employers wanted training in what theycall block schedules,” said Bill Brendel, the school’s dean ofagriculture, apprenticeship and technology. The schooloffered classroom work for the apprentices one day everyother week for a total of 72 hours per semester.

“Employers said they preferred to lose an employee for aweek at a time rather than to pull them out every otherMonday or something.”

Most of the school’s carpenter apprentices were union-sponsored. The school offers both union and non-uniontraining in some trades, though the classes are virtually iden-tical as required by the state’s Bureau of ApprenticeshipStandards.

“It is a workable situation,” Brendel said of the union/non-union classes, which are common across the country.“Unions have no problem bringing in non-union students.There actually is more pushback from non-union employersfor having to send their employees to a union hall. They seethe classes as an opportunity for a union to cherry-pick stu-dents. It is kind of an uneasy situation in some respects.”

At a new craft teaching institution in Oregon, cooperativerelationships range beyond the union status of students. TheNorthwest College of Construction was formed four yearsago from the vision of college President Dan Graham.

Graham had been workforce manager of the Columbia,Ore., chapter of the AGC for 10 years when he proposed thatcontractor associations come together to establish a collegethat could, in the words of its mission statement, “promotelife-long learning by delivering craft, technical, supervisoryand management education to the construction industry.”

The college’s founding organizations are the PacificNorthwest chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors,the Homebuilders Association of Metropolitan Portland, theNational Utility Contractors Association of Oregon andSouthwest Washington, and the Columbia AGC chapter.They formed a non-profit, privately funded organization andpurchased and remodeled a 40-year-old facility on HolmanStreet in Portland.

“These trade associations often are competing,” Grahamsaid, “but the reality is they all recognize no one is makingmuch money in education. So it was easier to decide wecould pool our resources and create some economies of scaleand provide a better product. That logic really did win folksover.”

The president said the college has about 1,600 enroll-ments — “we count enrollments, not bodies, an importantdistinction” — in this fourth school year of its existence. Heis optimistic about the future.

“I think we are going to make it,” Graham said. “We arestill scrapping and of course in this economy everyone hastheir fingers crossed. I was just talking to some contractorsthat are really sweating bullets. By and large, contractors areour customers so we are watching the economy closely —the construction industry in particular, which as you know ispretty rough right now.”

The school operates eight merit apprentice programs, butanyone is welcome to enroll and union members quite oftendo. Laborer and heavy equipment apprenticeship classes are“steaming along quite nicely,” Graham said, possiblybecause public funding is at present flowing most heavilyinto highway and bridge construction projects. Someapprenticeship programs, such as the one serving tile setters,are under-enrolled because of minimal work for residentialconstruction contractors, which are “just getting hammered”by the economy, Graham said.

Like similar institutions across the country — actually,

Graham is not aware of any others configured quite likeNCWW — the college has twin goals of upgrading skill lev-els in the industry and swelling the ranks of skilled workers.Graham said the sponsoring associations support bothefforts.

“We were sponsored by the industry locally for the train-ing, but they really want us to spend a fair amount of ourenergy in recruiting. We are always in a recruitment mode.We have been watching the demographics of our industry for10 years. We know what the average age of journeymentradespeople are. The pool is pretty old and we know we aregoing to have to get new people in the industry.

“There are a lot of people on the bench right now,”Graham said of layoffs that mark the economic times, “andthat makes it a challenge to bring new people in. Those laidoff will go back to work before we can hire new people. Butwe are seeing apprentices being hired right now and appren-ticeship enrollment is at an all-time high.”

One of the challenges facing the administration is to iden-tify serious candidates for apprentice training as opposed tothose who in the economic downturn are just biding theirtime at an employer’s expense.

“Some are interested in a career in construction but thendecide it isn’t what they had in mind. There is always aweeding out,” the president said. “Just this morning I wasthinking about how to get people to get to that decision soon-er rather than later. Apprentices are all paid for by employ-ers, so it is real easy just to show up and let someone else paythe bill.”

Local chapters of Associated Builders and Contractorsfrequently partner with community colleges for apprentice-ship classes, said Todd Staub, ABC’s director of craft train-ing.

“What we are focusing on in the chapters is developmentof a lifelong career path for tradespeople. Skills training is apart of that.”

Staub is enthusiastic about a second educational trackbeing offered employers — craft training. In this program,students receive the identical classroom instruction andhands-on training as apprentices but sometimes for shorterduration. Craft training targets companies that want a way toraise the formal skill level of their employees without jump-ing through the hoops required by formal apprenticeshipagreements. It appeals to contractors who are not working onpublic sector projects with obligatory apprenticeship con-tractual language.

A curriculum, certified instruction and accreditation forcraft training are provided by the 13-year-old NationalCenter for Construction Education and Research, which isaffiliated with the University of Florida. The not-for-profitfoundation’s accreditation gives a certified graduate aportable credential.

“Upon graduation,” said Staub, “a person has third-partyaccreditation he can carry throughout his career that says, ‘Ihave been trained to do this.’We are looking for the lifelonglearner in this industry and if we have something to engagethese people from the beginning, if we can attract the rightpeople into the industry, they will develop and stay in theindustry for their entire career. Overall, we look at it as oneof the pieces of the puzzle” in meeting the looming workershortage.

ABC gives craft training participants an extra incentive byonce a year bringing together the top students from each cen-ter in the country in a national craft skills championship. Intwo days of competition, students vie for cash and toolprizes. Some 130 students are expected to compete in abouta dozen crafts at ABC’s convention in San Diego, Calif., inFebruary.

Staub said the industry must offer today’s young peoplereal choices in making and pursuing career decisions.

“We are dealing today with people who want options, whowant information to make an informed decision.Apprenticeship and craft training are two of those options.”

BUILT FOR Easy Maintenance Durability Fuel Efficiency Comfort

Doosan. The closer you look, the better we get.

Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment

operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After

Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a

tough time getting his equipment working

again to help in the clean-up. But he never

expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan

excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of

saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck

in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner,

it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater

from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off

to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

Manitowoc Crane Care Opens Distribution Center in Ind.Manitowoc Cranes has dedicated a new Manitowoc

Crane Care parts distribution center in Jeffersonville, Ind.The new 141,000 sq. ft. facility will consolidate parts dis-

tribution functions previously managed from warehouses inManitowoc, Wis., Shady Grove, Pa., and Rockford, Ill.

Bob Hund, executive vice president of Manitowoc CraneCare, said opening the new facility would provide cost andtime savings to customers.

“Providing superior customer service is a core value atManitowoc Cranes,” he said. “By streamlining parts distri-bution this way, we are helping improve our response timeand reduce costs for our customers and dealers around the

world — ultimately adding more value for our customers.” The new distribution center, which will be operated by Cat

Logistics, will employ 50 people when fully operational atthe end of this year.

The distribution center will be responsible for more than70,000 unique part numbers. This new arrangement alsoallows for multi-brand parts shipments to be combined,which not only saves time but also consolidates shippingcosts.

The Jeffersonville facility is located near Louisville, Ky.,one of the largest air and ground shipping hubs in NorthAmerica. Because of this proximity, the cut-off time for deal-

ers and customers to order parts has been extended from 5p.m. Eastern time to 10 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, 70percent of Manitowoc’s North American customer base cannow be reached within two days via ground transportation,increased from 50 percent. International customers also willbenefit from faster air freight service.

The new distribution center represents a significant invest-ment for Manitowoc Cranes, and plans for the project wereput in place more than two years ago before the economicdownturn.

But Hund said, despite an economic challenging time,Manitowoc’s commitment to its customers has stayedstrong.

“Our new distribution center represents a major commit-ment by Manitowoc,” he said. “And despite the economicdifficulties throughout all aspects of the construction indus-

try, we have stayed committed to the mission of consolidat-ing our North American parts distribution because we under-stand that when a crane is down in the field, customers needparts as fast and as econom-ically possible.”

Distribution CenterFacts and Figures• 141, 000 sq. ft.• More than 70,000 part

numbers• 24/7 — on-call service• 520,000 purchase order

Volvo’s G900 Series Motorgraders Features Seven Models

Ranging from 140 to 205 hp (104 to 153 kW), with standard bladelengths from 12 to 14 ft. (3.6 to 4.3 m), New Holland Constructionmotorgraders are engineered to perform in every application, fromripping and rough grading to precise and accurate finishing work.

The operator’s cab is mounted behind the articulation point, pro-viding an enhanced view of both ends of the working blade, andenabling the operator to maneuver and respond quickly.

With heavy-duty, box-section construction, the rugged frames ofthe G140, G170 and G200 motorgraders are designed to endure themost rigorous working conditions. Durable front axles stand up totough grading jobs and oscillate up to 19 degrees to manage rough

terrain. An extra-long wheelbase helps delivers a smooth ride,according to the manufacturer.

VisibilityFeaturing thin corner posts and door frames, and more than 62 sq.

ft. of glass area, the cab on New Holland motorgraders provides anincreased view in all directions. An integrated sunshade reducesglare, and standard front and rear windshield wipers/washers ensurea clear view. Interior and exterior mirrors help the operator keep tabson any activity behind the machine.

It takes a confident company to design awhole new family of products from scratchwhen its existing range is regarded by manyas a market leader. But that is exactly whatVolvo CE has done with its new Volvo G900motorgraders. Built on two distinct but inte-grated platforms, there are seven models,including two all-wheel drive machines.Fitted with either a Volvo D7 or Volvo D9engine, the Volvo G900 product lineup isdesigned to combine the attributes of pro-ductivity, operator friendliness, reliabilityand ease of service, according to the manu-facturer.

The seven models of the range are theVolvo G930, Volvo G940, Volvo G946,Volvo G960, Volvo G970, Volvo G976 andthe Volvo G990 — 34,290, 35,179, 36,710,36,768, 39,026, 40,554, 46,281 lb. (15,554,15,957, 16,650, 16,678, 17,702, 18,395 and20,993 kg), respectively. The first four mod-els were engineered with the 7.2-LVolvo D7engine. The larger three use the 9.4-L VolvoD9 engine. Volvo engines were identified asbeing ideal for these applications, as theyproduce high torque at low engine speeds,delivering responsiveness and fuel efficien-cy.

Through extensive operator input, Volvohas integrated into the design the require-ments of motorgrader customers and usersworldwide. The Volvo G900 motorgraderscombine the technological strength of theVolvo Group with familiar Volvo CE attrib-utes.

Each Volvo G900 motorgrader featuresEU Stage IIIA and U.S. Tier III-certifiedVolvo engines utilizing Volvo AdvancedCombustion Technology (V-ACT). Theseengines run cleanly without the extra servicerequirements of additional equipment orafter-treatment of exhaust gases, accordingto the manufacturer.

All seven models have three powerranges, depending upon the transmissiongear selected, as standard equipment. Thisfeature works to optimize engine perform-ance and enhance overall fuel efficiency bymatching engine power to the application.

Wide-stance blade-lift cylinders coupledwith the low-angle side-shift cylinder pro-vide a stable grading platform. ProportionalDemand Flow (PDF) intelligent load sens-ing hydraulics and a powerful twin-gear,direct drive circle turn system result in a pre-cise, instantly responsive earthmoving tool.It also provides high strength to hold or turnthe moldboard smoothly while movingunder full load. This accuracy of control andperformance results in more one-pass finish-es which contributes significantly to produc-tivity and cost saving, according to the man-ufacturer.

Built-in Productivity The power and precision of motorgraders

lies in their ability to translate engine powerinto useable traction and control. And thetransmission is central to this. The VolvoG900 motorgraders use the Volvo-designedHTE840 transmission, which has selectablemanual, autoshift (optional) and travelmodes. With autoshift, the operator selectsthe target gear and the transmission shiftsautomatically through turns and grades asneeded. Its shuttle-shift feature aids quick,simple duty cycles by allowing shuttlingbetween selected forward and reverse gearsin a single smooth motion without clutchingor pausing.

Autoshift comes standard on the Volvoexclusive HTE1160 transmission — theindustry’s first 11-speed motorgrader drivetrain. With 11 forward and six reversespeeds, the optional HTE1160 transmissionallows more control (at low speeds), moreefficient travel (at high speeds) and moreprecision in the normal working speeds.Such control also pays dividends when itcomes to fuel economy as the engine can beoperated at its most economical revolutionsper minute, smoothly and efficiently.

Lifelong Reliability The robotically welded frame helps

ensure structural rigidity while the full-perimeter rear-frame design protects thepower train from load stresses created by

side and rear attachments, such as rippers,scarifiers or plows. The structural design ofthe grader is focused on placing its powerand weight to maximize blade-down forceand drawbar pull rates.

At the rear, Volvo APR70 and APR90planetary reduction axles reduce loading ontandem chains and deliver both power andtraction to the ground efficiently. To matchgrader performance with tractive conditions,an operator can lock or unlock the rear axledifferential with a simple on-off switch.

The front axle has a high-center groundclearance, a sharp steering angle and a mini-mum of components to minimize mainte-nance. In fact, there is no daily greasing orweekly servicing required with a VolvoG900 motorgrader, as the standard oilchange interval is 500 hours. Even fueling iseasy, with ground-level access. Sight glassesand level sensors take care of the rest. Thenow familiar Contronics electronic monitor-ing system has been expanded in the VolvoG900 motorgrader with more grader func-tions being analyzed.

All-Purpose All Wheel DriveThe two all wheel drive (AWD) models in

the range offer three distinct features in theirdrive systems. The powerful six-wheel drive

combines with an efficient four-wheel tan-dem drive and the front-wheel creep mode,which is ideal for precise fine-grade applica-tions. The operator has 16 selectable levelsof aggression to match AWD performance tothe task at hand for ultimate control.

A Great Place to Go to Work ROPS/FOPS certified, the Volvo cabs’

familiar styling features expansive glassareas providing enhanced ground-up visibil-ity from the forward, rear and downwardviews. The operator is aided by six interiorand exterior mirrors, which together give acommanding view around the machine.Open the cab door, and the steps and hand-holds are illuminated automatically for saferentry and exit. Extensive noise and vibrationsuppression is designed into the cab to max-imize operator productivity. The cabin ispressurized and two large-capacity filtersmaintain a constant flow of clean air from 10outlets.

All essential operator controls are mount-ed on a slide and tilt adjustable centerpedestal. Low-effort pedals and short-throwlevers help reduce operator fatigue.Mounting brackets also are provided so thatcommunications equipment can easily beinstalled.

Volvo has introduced a seven model G900 family of motorgraders.

Reports: Federal Stimulus Sends $1.8 Billion to OregonPORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Oregon has received about $1.8

billion in the first eight months of the federal stimulus pro-gram credited with saving or creating nearly 10,000 jobs inthe state.

Reports released Oct. 31 showed the largest number ofjobs saved by the spending, both nationally and in Oregon,was for teachers.

“We think it’s great news for Oregon’s economy,” saidBecca Uhberlau, spokeswoman of the Oregon EducationAssociation, the statewide teachers union.

The Oregon share of the stimulus money also is beingused to repave hundreds of miles of roads, clear brush fromfire-prone forests and dredge shipping lanes in the state’sharbors.

The money comes from the American Reinvestment andRecovery Act, a $787 billion federal spending bill pushed byPresident Barack Obama and approved by Congress inFebruary. About two-thirds of the money has yet to be spent.

Oregon Health & Science University researchers Marilyn

Huckans and Jennifer Loftis are among the recipients of thehundreds of federal contracts, loans and grants that havegone to Oregon as part of the massive federal effort to turnaround the recession.

The researchers said they received nearly $1 million fortheir work on finding a more effective treatment for addicts.The money will be used to hire support staff and buy labmice and equipment for two years of intense study.

“This is our big opportunity,” said Huckans. “We are final-ly able to get going.”

In a telephone briefing, Jared Bernstein, chief economistof Vice President Joe Biden, said the numbers did notinclude other parts of the stimulus package, such as tax cuts,higher unemployment checks and $250 bonuses to SocialSecurity recipients.

“Those create jobs, too,” Bernstein said.Job figures were gathered from state officials, private con-

tractors and others who reported receiving stimulus funds.They were asked to list how many people were working who

wouldn’t have jobs without the stimulus.Among those reporting was Todd Construction, a Tigard

firm that bids on big commercial contracts. It won a $1.9million stimulus-funded project to replace screens in the fishpassage section of Bonneville Dam to make it easier foryoung salmon to migrate to the Pacific Ocean.

Company Vice President Ken Dixon said he added sixjobs to the overall stimulus calculation — two carpenterswho had been laid off were hired back; two who were in dan-ger of being laid off were kept on, and two supervisors whohad run out of jobs were put on the Bonneville project.

Tim Duy, a University of Oregon economist, said there’sno question that spending federal money will put some peo-ple to work. But he warned the unemployment numbers areso high they continue to threaten hopes for a solid recovery.

“The recession is like a pothole,” Duy said, adding that thestimulus “threw some gravel in the bottom of the pothole. Isthis good? Sure. But you’re still dropping into a pothole.”

“End-users from all over the world participated on-siteand over the internet on auction day and were particularlyinterested in the large selection of unused and late modelcranes being sold. Bidding was very competitive with mostof the cranes being purchased by out-of-state buyers whowere present on-site,” said Steve Merich, regional manager,Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. “Overall, we were very pleasedwith the outcome of the auction. The performance on thecranes far exceeded our expectations and those of our con-signors. It demonstrates the effectiveness of our global mar-ket strategy, even in a tough economy.”

The two highest value cranes — a 2008 Manitowoc 14000220-ton (200 t) self-erecting crawler crane and a late model2008 Manitowoc 14000 220-ton self-erecting crawler crane— were two of more than 40 items sold for EnergyTransportation Inc. The unused 2008 Manitowoc 14000 220-ton, purchased by a buyer from Texas for $1.275 million,broke the site record for the highest value item ever sold in aDenver auction. The other late model 2008 Manitowoc14000 220-ton self-erecting crawler crane was purchased for$1.2 million by a California buyer.
