“Tad Agoglia is almost looked upon asan angel here in Parkersburg, Iowa,” saidcity administrator Chris Luhring.Agoglia doesn’t have wings, as it turnsout, but his story does have a Christmasfeel.

Two years ago, Agoglia converted hisprofitable disaster response and cleanupcompany to a nonprofit foundation. Heleft his home and went on the road wherehe spends all year donating his expertiseto stricken communities and seekingsupport and training for his team. Severalleading equipment manufacturers andconstruction industry companies havecaught the giving spirit and are backinghim with money and machinery.

Four servicemen who attended abenefit concert for ThanksUSA atNashville’s Ryman Auditorium onNov. 9, 2009, have different homestates, but what they all have incommon is they have been under-going treatment at the Walter ReedArmy Medical Center inWashington, D.C.

Colonel James G. Hay, PrivateFirst Class Michael Cunningham,Sergeant Ryan Lohss andSpecialist Jason Poyneer wereflown to the event by the VeteransAirlift Command (VAC), a not-for-profit organization providing freeair travel to wounded veterans andtheir families.

Coble Trench Safety, based in

Greensboro, N.C., was one of thetravel sponsors for the concert. Thiswas the sixth trip the company hasmade for the VAC WoundedWarrior program. All costs associ-ated with these flights are coveredby aircraft owners in the VAC’snational network, and while theCommand is currently concentrat-ing on those who served or stillserve in the Iraq and Afghanistanconflicts, it hopes to eventuallyexpand flights to the veterans ofother wars.

“Coble Trench Safety employ-ees, Debby Coble, and myself werethrilled to assist these woundedwarriors for the Veterans AirliftCommand ThanksUSA trip toNashville, Tenn., to raise scholar-ship funds for our troops’families,”

Work to be done includes scaling and trimming, trim blasting, pre-split blasting and rockremoval. Rock bolts also will be placed to secure material adjacent to areas where rock wasremoved in order to forestall future slides.

Driven by record federal investment in surfacetransportation, increased spending through theAmerican Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA)and continued easing in material prices, the high-way construction market is expected to grow eightpercent in 2010, according to the American Road& Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA)annual economic forecast.

ARTBA Vice President of Policy & Economist

Alison Premo Black said the value of highway,street and bridge construction (from all sources)put in place should reach $90.5 billion in 2010, upfrom about $83.9 billion this year.

Black cautioned, however, that the boost to themarket could be temporary. Uncertainty over thereauthorization of the multi-year federal surfacetransportation bill and future growth of the overall

Rain set off a rock slide at the 17-mi. marker onU.S. 64 in the Ocoee River Gorge in Polk County,Tenn., early one morning in November, blockingthe west lane. The Tennessee Department ofTransportation (TDOT) quickly dispatched mobilemaintenance crews to clear it, but when a boulderthe size of a truck fell on the east lane, TDOT

brought in a private contractor to break it up withan impact hammer in preparation for removal.

A few hours later, TDOT geologist VanessaBateman arrived from her Nashville office. Uponhearing a thunderous cracking noise, she orderedworkers to move back just before continuous rainprecipitated another slide that dropped boulders onthe roadway. In a matter of seconds, the scope ofthe cleanup had been magnified, with the road

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 stabilizingthe 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 laborers.How they pursue this common objective differsin 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, accordingto Jon O’Brien, MBA’s director of communica-

NEW ORLEANS (AP) The U.S. federalgovernment could be vulnerable to billions ofdollars in claims after a judge ruled that theArmy Corps of Engineers’ failure to properlymaintain a navigation channel led to massiveflooding in Hurricane Katrina.

U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval onNov. 18 awarded seven plaintiffs $720,000,but the government could eventually be forcedto pay much more. The ruling should givemore than 100,000 other individuals, business-es and government entities a better shot atclaiming damages.

Duval sided with six residents and one busi-ness who argued the Army Corps’ shoddyoversight of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outletled to the flooding of New Orleans’Lower 9thWard and neighboring St. Bernard Parish.

SPECIAL SALE - GATORBACK TRACKS


S.C. Firms Working on Fort Jackson Cemetery ExpansionBy Eric OlsonCEG CORRESPONDENT

Heavy construction equipmentis currently working its way acrossthe gently rolling sandhills of cen-tral South Carolina as part of aproject to expand the recently ded-icated Fort Jackson NationalCemetery.

When it first opened last year,the cemetery became one of 125national burial sites spread over 39states and Puerto Rico honoringmore than 3 million American vet-erans.

The new 585-acre nationalcemetery is located adjacent to theU.S. Army's sprawling FortJackson base just east of Columbiaand south of Interstate 20.

The cemetery was dedicated lastfall by the Department of VeteransAffairs (VA) and, when completedin another 10-15 years, will pro-vide gravesites for about 170,000veterans.

Work began on the initial phaseof the $19 million project in May2008 with a 15-acre early burialarea and temporary facilities.Known as Phase 1A, this piece ofland began seeing burials andfunerals late last year. The workwas done by International PublicWorks LLC, a Charleston, S.C.-based construction and engineer-ing firm.

The work currently going on atthe cemetery is known as Phase 1Band encompasses 74 acres. Thisphase of the project includes theinstallation of 4,224 concretevaults, 5,000 full-casket gravesites,another 5,000 in-ground cremationsites and the construction of a2,000-niche columbarium. In addi-tion, several buildings and memo-rials will be erected and extensivelandscaping will be put in place.

LW Construction of CharlestonLLC, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, is coordi-nating the current phase. The VAawarded a $10.3 million contract

to the firm earlier this summer andwork got underway shortly there-after. LW subcontracted the earth-moving and paving part of theproject to another Charleston com-pany, Landmark Construction.

Ron Brantley, LW's projectsupervisor on the Fort Jacksonwork, said that his outfit was given540 days to complete the job,meaning that Phase 1B should bedone in early 2011.

“The site was actually harvestedof its timber before we beganwork, so we just came in and gotrid of the stumps and chipped itout,” he explained. “All the chipswere then reused and spreadaround the reforested areas. We arealso producing a number of differ-ent retention ponds. Later, we willbe putting up two main buildings, amaintenance structure and anadministration building.”

LW will also build a pair ofcommittal service shelters, wheregravesite services will be held, aswell as the columbarium niches,which, Brantley said, will havemarble faces.

After that, LW will build severalother support buildings, along witha flag assembly area, whichBrantley said would be a raisedplatform with a curved brick wallthat will display the emblems ofeach of the U.S. armed services.Visitors will be able to access it viaa set of sidewalks and ramps.

“Another main part of our workis the installation of the 4,224 pre-placed crypts,” Brantley contin-

ued. “Each is a dual crypt, withspaces for two caskets, one lowand one high, and they will be pre-cisely placed and covered withabout 21 inches of general fill andtopsoil.”

Mack Industries, based inBrunswick, Ohio, will manufac-ture and install the pre-cast crypts,

Brantley said. In addition, TheGreenery, a Charleston landscapefirm, will handle the cemetery'slarge amount of landscaping inPhase 1B.

Brantley explained that the soilat Fort Jackson is very sandy anddry, making it easier to work in.With the water table in theSandhills being about 180 feetdown, any rain that falls in the areaquickly disappears, he said.

“So when it rains here you cankeep working and you don't haveto wait for it to dry out like you doif you were working in the LowCountry around Charleston,”Brantley explained. “In fact, I wastold that in Phase 1A they neverlost any work time due to rain.”

Landmark has really been the

firm to enjoy the benefit of thesandy soil, according to JeremyBlackstock. The director ofLandmark's site work and civildepartment, Blackstock said thathis crews are now busily levelingthe slightly hilly area. That type ofterrain is perfect, he said, for usingheavy equipment that utilizes dou-ble-barreled pans.

“After we balance the site, we'lldig out an area for the crypts and

get it all prepped for the generalcontractor,” he added. “LW willput up some buildings and get thevertical construction going beforewe come back in and do the roadconstruction, some concrete workand some brick pavers, as well asthe back filling of the crypts andsoil stabilization.”

Landmark's portion of the con-tract is just under $3 million,Blackstock said.

For the clearing and grubbingwork, Landmark used primarilyCaterpillar 315 and 320 excava-tors, but now that the firm is intomoving more dirt at the site, theyhave brought in a variety of equip-ment, including John Deere bull-dozers and Volvo excavators. Aworkhorse at the Fort Jackson sitewill be the Terex TS 14B scraper,according to Joe Johnson, a gener-al superintendent for Landmark.

“Over the years as we have runlots of different equipment, like theTerex TS 14B, we have learnedwhat pieces are the real heavyhorses that move a lot of dirt andmove it well,” he said. “With theTerex, the durability is there, aswell as the longevity, and the main-tenance is minimum. They move alot of earth and they move itquick.”

In the end, said Blackstock, themost important thing to rememberwhile working at the site of a vet-eran's cemetery is to show rever-ence for the solemnity of the place,not always an easy task when oper-ating heavy, noisy machinery.

“With construction taking placewhile funerals are happening, thereis a learning curve to make surethat you respect the wholeprocess,” Blackstock said. “I thinkour guys really understand that.”

After Five Years, USM’s LottCenter Nearly Complete

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) AUniversity of Southern Mississippi buildingnamed in honor of former U.S. Sen. TrentLott is nearly complete after being underconstruction for five years.

“I think in late January, early February,we’ll be ready to give the go-ahead,’’ saidChad Driskell, USM executive assistant tothe president for external affairs

An electrical system check by engineersand building furnishings are among theitems remaining to be completed at the TrentLott National Center of Excellence forEconomic Development andEntrepreneurship.

The building will house the Departmentof Economic and Workforce Development;Center for Logistics, Trade andTransportation; National Center forSpectator Sports Safety and Security and the

Office of Advancement and USMFoundation offices

Construction began in 2004, but movedslowly because of funding shortages.

When President Martha Saunders tookover in 2007, only the first floor and exteriorwere completed after three years of con-struction

Driskell said he worked with the stateLegislature to get necessary state funding tocomplete the $28 million building.

In 2004, when the project began underthen-USM President Shelby Thames, theestimated cost was $22.8 million, a figurethat didn’t include architectural design.Higher post-Hurricane Katrina constructioncosts are among the reasons the final pricetag increased, said physical plant directorRusty Postlewate.

The first building in the South Fork Business Park inMooresville, N.C., is nearing completion by L.B. BuildersConstruction Group. The project involves an 85,000 sq. ft.(7,896 sq m) personal race shop for Kyle BuschMotorsports.

The structure, which is a steel building package for NucorBuilding Systems, originally started at 62,000 sq. ft. (5,759sq m), and increased from there.

When complete, it will include approximately 21,000 sq.ft. (1,950 sq m) of office space. There also will be a fabrica-tion area and a car set-up area. There will be a capacity for55 to 100 employees.

“Everything will be state-of-the-art in the building,”Peterson said. “We are running all the fiber optics for thecomputers, and LED lighting is going in.”

Currently, Kyle Busch Motorsports is located in severaldifferent locations. The new site will combine everythinginto one facility.

Construction began in June 2008, and is expected to becomplete in late 2009.

“We are working on LEED certification,” Peterson said.“This has been a challenge, since it was brought to ushalfway through the project. We’re actually going for goldcertification.”

Another challenge has been rainy weather, which has par-ticularly affected the drilling of 128 geothermal wells, whichare each 300 ft. (91.4 m) deep. Each six-inch well containstwo one-half-inch diameter pipes. In all, the project will

involve 86 mi. (138 km) of piping underground and underthe slab. When complete, approximately 600 gallons ofwater per minute will move through the building at all times.The geothermal system will result in a 65-to-75- percent sav-ings on electric and gas for the business.

In addition, Peterson explained that another challenge wasthat his group has gone through several major changes to theoriginal design plans per the owner’s request, which resulted

in new plans and approvals.The entire business park project will cover about 120

acres. Phase I, which is complete, involved moving approx-imately 150,000 cu. yds. (114,683 cu. m) of dirt. Phase IIwill begin in the spring of 2010.

“We are totally equipped to do all the grading and utilitywork, the whole nine yards,” Peterson explained. “We own

First Response Team of America Delivers Disaster Relief“When you meet him, you’ll

quickly see that his passion isunprecedented,” said Darrin Foulk,vice president of ClevelandBrothers Equipment Co., whichhas Caterpillar dealerships acrossPennsylvania.

Foulk speaks from experience.He met Agoglia when the latterentered a Cleveland Brothersbranch in Lancaster to buy a pieceof equipment. The company exec-utive overheard Agoglia’s storyand invited him to dinner.

By the time they folded theirnapkins and pushed away from thetable, Agoglia had been offered aCat skid steer under cost as well asdonated cables for his generatorand a full complement of spareparts for his mechanical repairtruck. Not finished, Foulk rang uptwo other equipment manufactur-ers and persuaded them to help outwith major pieces of equipment.

“These are the unique kinds ofpeople I have been meeting lately,”Agoglia said, reflecting on the$800,000 in equipment received inthe last two months. “I can’texplain it. They offer their helpwith no strings attached and theteam keeps responding.”

Changing FocusBefore Tad Skylar Agoglia was

founder of a charitable organiza-tion, he was president of a prof-itable firm called DisasterRecovery Solutions. It basicallywas a loader and dump truck com-pany specializing in storm debris.The company would show up amonth or two after a natural disas-ter and earn premium dollars clear-ing streets and carting away thedebris of people’s lives.

Disaster Recovery’s first disas-ter was Hurricane Isabel, whichstruck the East Coast in 2003. Thecompany’s last for-profit cleanupwas in 2007. By then, Agoglia hadexperienced a change of heart.

He had come to believe thatwhat these splintered communitiesreally needed was not a clean-upcrew pulling in a month after dis-aster struck. Rather, the storm vic-tims and beleaguered local leadersneeded volunteer assistance andthey needed it immediately, thekind of help that only an experi-enced and equipment-ready pro-fessional like Agoglia could offer.

He acted on this personal revela-tion in May of 2007 after an E5 tor-nado virtually destroyed the smallKansas town of Greensburg. To thedismay of his employees, Agogliaordered his equipment off a prof-itable job elsewhere and driven toGreensburg.

“That was the pivotal moment,”the businessman- turned-activistrecalled of his Kansas experience.“I was using my crane to clear astreet in Greensburg so firefighterscould get to their equipment. I sawthat people emerging from base-ments were given hope when theyrealized someone had come to helpthem quickly. At that moment, Idecided that no longer am I goingto use my equipment to makemoney. I’m going to help people.And I’ve never looked back.”

For the first year and a half,Agoglia funded his altruistic workout of his personal savings beforereorganizing the company as anonprofit. Now — two-and-a-halfyears and 27 storms later — heheads an emergency recovery

organization called First ResponseTeam of America.

His commitment to his charita-ble work is rooted in convictionthat openly guided him through hiscollege years. Agoglia has a mas-ter’s degree in theology and was ontrack to enter a life of ministrywhen he concluded he was meantto do something else. A disasterrelief business was his choice ofalternate vocations.

At the age of 30, however, hesaid he “kind of arrived as a smallbusiness owner and I realized that Iwanted something more than justto make money. When I saw theneed in these communities, Idecided with my background andcapabilities that I could help. Thereis something very valuable in lifein caring for people.”

His benefactors in the heavyequipment industry have caughtthe same vision. Due to their sup-port, First Response’s equipmentwill be state of the art whenAgoglia heads into another year ofdisasters.

Working With the BestThe new equipment is an

upgrade of the specialty toolsAgoglia developed as a disasterresponse businessman. HisDisaster Recovery Solutions oper-ated oversized tandem truck-trail-ers with a loader attached to themain unit. The company excelledin efficient removal of debris andcleaned up in more ways than one.

The same efficiency on an evenbigger scale is a hallmark of hisFirst Response Team. His latestgeneration of equipment rides onthe backs of three new Peterbilttrucks donated by the Knoxville,Tenn., branch of The Pete Storedealer group.

A Model 335 Peterbilt truckhauls First Response’s mechanicalsupport equipment and parts. AModel 367 powers a stretched-frame tandem unit with three steer-able axles and 120-cu. yd. (91-cum) capacity. A Prentice 2124loader — donated by the ForestryDivision of Caterpillar — rides

piggyback at the rear of the truckand is outfitted as needed with agrapple, donated by HeidenGrapple, or a hydraulic crushinghead.

The third truck — a Model 375Peterbilt — pulls a drop-deck trail-er donated by Ledwell & SonEnterprises in Texarkana, Tex. It isloaded with top-of-the-line equip-ment donated by manufacturers,including:

• Cat 229C compact skid steertrack loader

• Godwin CD150 pump thatwill push almost 2,000 gallons ofwater per minute

• 400 kW Cat generator capableof powering up critically neededbuildings such as a public shelter,skilled nursing facility or emer-gency department.

• Terex AL4000 light towerwith a diesel engine and generatingunit that can light up seven-and-a-half acres for nighttime work andsecurity.

• Towmaster T-110DTG

Tad Agoglia turned his profitable disaster cleanup business into the non-profit First Response Team of America after sending his equip-ment to help in Greensburg, Kan., in May 2007 after an E5 tornado virtually destroyed the town.

ESCO Corporation Receives ‘Excellence in Training’AwardOn Oct. 29, the Portland Business Journal presented its

annual manufacturing awards at the Portland Art Museum,honoring Portland-based manufacturer ESCO Corporationin the “Excellence in Training” category. As BusinessJournal Publisher Craig Wessel said, the goal of this newprogram is to “recognize manufacturing companies that con-tinue to drive our region’s economy through innovation andstrategic evolution.”

The other awards categories were “Product Innovation ofthe Year” and “Manufacturing Company of the Year” (small,medium and large companies). Other manufacturing awardswinners included Benchmade, Eleek, FEI Company, KorvisAutomation, Oregon Iron Works, Plas2Fuel, Timber Pro UV,Tinitron, TriQuint Semiconductor and Williams Controls.

ESCO Corporation has become increasingly noted for itsapplication of “lean manufacturing” practices that empha-size waste reduction in its operations. According tospokesperson Robert Kenneth, the goal is to increase cus-tomer value while continually reducing waste and cost.

“Our culture of quality, value and speed — or QVS —drives the elimination of waste in everything we do, fromengineering and payroll to the plant floor and loading docks.The result is business practices that create long-term, sus-tainable economic, environmental and social benefits for ouremployees, our customers and our neighbors in the commu-nities where ESCO operates.”

ESCO’s Organizational Effectiveness team is responsiblefor development and delivery of countless training initiativesaimed at integrating lean and continuous improvement at

every level of the company.“At ESCO, we live by the philosophy of continuous

improvement to deliver quality, value and speed to our cus-tomers,” said Elizabeth King, ESCO’s executive director ofOrganizational Effectiveness. “With that as a vision, ourteam looks at what stands in the way of us getting there. Andit’s those obstacles we go after.”

Because ESCO has operations throughout the world,King and her team face special challenges when it comes toimplementing uniform practices across all levels of theorganization.

“We can’t succeed as a global organization if we lack therequired expertise at even one of our sites. That’s why weactively support developing expertise throughout the entirecompany,” King said.

According to King, another important aspect of ESCO’straining approach is how indistinguishable it often is fromday-to-day operations.

“Some people have traditional ways of training — whichmeans you go to a classroom to learn something, pass a test,and often never use what you learned. But it would be hardto distinguish between training and real time work here atESCO — it’s all the same.”

ESCO enjoys a strong reputation as an innovator, withmore than 300 product patents highlighting the company’spassion for solving difficult problems. King said she and herOrganizational Effectiveness team support this innovativeculture “by creating and delivering innovative training anddevelopment opportunities.”

“The quality of our work creates an experience for partic-ipants that builds personal skills and commitment to ESCO— and also furthers our strategic initiatives.”

About winning the “Excellence in Training” categoryamong multiple candidate companies, King said: “Our teamis delighted to be awarded with this honor on behalf of allESCO employees. We couldn’t do what we do withouteffectively partnering at all levels of the organization —from board room to break room. It’s what makes our workimpactful and fun.”

Veterans Airlift Command Flies Wounded Vets to Benefit company President Tom Coblesaid. “We were truly honored to beof service to these fine soldiers andamazed at the caliber of each indi-vidual. Each soldier was very pos-itive and upbeat about his future,plus several were planning to reen-list into the military.”

Hay was wounded severalmonths ago during his second tourin Iraq, having been assigned to theCorp headquarters MNCI (MultiNational Corp Iraq) as director ofContracting Oversight.

“I had been at Walter ReedArmy Medical Center since the 7thof June recovering. This trip wasthe first opportunity for me to getout of the area and it was a bless-ing,” Hay said. “I leave WalterReed in early December to reportto a Warrior Transition Battalion inRock Island, Ill., and then willreturn home to Minneapolis andfinish my treatment at the VeteransAdministration hospital inMinneapolis. The Army calls thisWarrior home-based care, allow-ing me to spend the nights andweekend with my wife and twoteenage kids, both going toschool.”

Those undergoing long-termmedical treatment often experienceboredom, especially once theybecome ambulatory. Hay touchedupon this aspect of recovery whenhe noted in particular that beingtransported to the concert allowedhim and the younger troops an

opportunity to get away from theeveryday tedium of life as a hospi-tal patient.

Walter Reed Army MedicalCenter describes the WarriorTransition program as promotingeither a timely return to the militaryor a transition to civilian status byproviding care and case manage-ment to those who have sufferedwounds in ongoing conflicts.

“On the trip down, Tom let mesit up in the co-pilot’s place, as I atone time pursued my license to fly.This was great of him,” Hayrecalled. “On the way backSpecialist Poyneer became Tom’sco-pilot. He was thrilled to death tosit up front.”

Poyneer, a native of New Yorkstate, was assigned to A Company427 BSB of the 27th brigade fromthat state.

“I deployed to Afghanistan onJanuary 17th ‘08 and then gotinjured on August 4th ‘08,” hesaid. “I have been here at WalterReed since November ‘08 andstayed here for recovery for 13months.”

Poyneer went on to observe it is“always great to get out of WalterReed and actually do somethingfun,” mentioning in particular hisflight back to Washington sitting inthe copilot’s seat. He alsoexpressed appreciation to all thoseinvolved in the event.

“I think that ThanksUsa is aamazing organization that helps somany soldiers and their familiesout and doesn’t ask for anything inreturn,” he said. “I would like tothank them for allowing us tocome down and watch the show. Iwould also like to thank LoewsHotel for donating the beautifulrooms for us and Tom Coble andhis wife for their generosity.”

Cunningham is fromMassachusetts. He is fairly new tothe military although his familyhas a long military tradition.

“I joined late, signing my firstcontract at 33 years old and goingin as airborne infantry,” he said. “Iwas the crazy old man of the com-

pany, nicknamed grandpa, and theoldest in my company serving outin southeast Afghanistan, where Isuffered injuries to the left side ofmy face and neck from a mortarround while I was trying to carry afellow soldier with my sergeant toa medic.

“I have a grandfather whoserved in the navy in the Pacificduring WWII, a great-grandfatherwho served as a captain duringWWI and a great-uncle whoserved during WWII and theKorean War. He was in the infantryand escaped from the NorthKoreans, during which time he losthis toes on his right foot due tofrostbite. He used to show us everymorning during breakfast whileputting on his shoes to go to work,”he went on. “The latest I know ishe’s about 80 years old and servingas a lieutenant commander for theCoast Guard out in California,chasing drug smugglers fromMexico. Oh yeah, and in betweenhe served as L.A. County sherifffor a little while.”

Cunningham described the trav-el arrangements for the four men as“top notch from beginning to end.

“Tom Coble and his son pickedup three soldiers and myself per-sonally from Walter Reed to meettheir co-workers, then off to theairport. The flight back and forthwas fantastic since we got to go inTom’s personal plane, which heflew himself,” he recalled. “Afterchecking into a fabulous hotel we

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.

Industry Giants Donate New Equipment to Good Causedetachable gooseneck trailer, a secondTowmaster trailer and a T-16T drop deck tilt.

• AMiller plasma cutter and Big Blue AirPak welder.

“I have to have the best equipment on themarket,” Agoglia said of his fleet’s mechan-ical upgrade. “If something goes down,someone’s life might be depending on it. Ican’t show up in a 1984 dump truck. Underthese circumstances, if the equipment goesdown, it’s not profit being lost, it’s people’slives. There’s no time to stop and fix unreli-able equipment.”

All the Right ReasonsNeither the Team nor its industry support-

ers are in it for publicity. Agoglia believes injust showing up and pitching in. Agoglia is,in fact, adamant that the assistance be givencommunities for the right reason.

“If I do the work under the umbrella of anonprofit, people really know we are notthere to make money. They don’t have toworry. We’re only there to help.”

He said companies that he’s approached— or that have taken the initiative to contacthim — also are in it for the right reason.

“All of these companies say, ‘Take this.We don’t want anything in return. We don’twant a photo. We don’t need a billboard. Wedon’t want names on our trucks. We don’twant anything. Just keep doing what you’redoing.’”

“A lot of people want publicity, but Tadjust doesn’t work like that. He flies under theradar,” Parkersburg’s Luhring said, lookingback on Agoglia’s surprise appearance in thecommunity in late May 2008 after a tornadostruck the town.

Luhring was Parkersburg’s police chiefwhen the tornado killed seven people anddestroyed 220 homes. He met Agoglia aftersomeone told him a big truck was blockingthe road and Luhring went to investigate.

“Tad told me, ‘I’m here to help. I’ll help inany way I can,’” Luhring recalled. “Well,I’m pretty well versed in construction and Irealized we didn’t have a truck like Tad’s. Iknew that truck could do things we couldn’tdo.”

First, Agoglia used the grapple on thetruck-mounted loader to gently sift the ruinsof Parkersburg’s city hall till they foundcemetery rolls that would allow the commu-nity to bury its dead. Then he used the loaderto dig the graves, working alongside somehigh school boys. It was a scenario Agoglianever imagined would become part of hislife.

“I don’t know how to explain this butthese are the situations that made me walkaway from my for-profit company so easi-ly,” he said.

Later that year, he stopped back inParkersburg while on a trip and was per-suaded to attend a high school assembly thatwas happening that afternoon. Luhring saidhigh school students recognized Agogliaafter he walked into the assembly area andspontaneously gave him a standing ovation.

Luhring, who became city administratorjust last month, said the First ResponseTeam’s impact on the community is lasting.

“Parkersburg has been labeled the mostsuccessful disaster recovery community inthe nation. Tad drove that train right after thestorm. He made it possible.”

Small Team, Big HeartsAgoglia’s entire team consists of five peo-

ple including himself. Those who came overwith him from his for-profit company took a70-percent pay cut.

Tim Wilkowicz became a team member

when Agoglia was converting his companyto nonprofit. Wilkowicz, 22, said he has noproblem being on the road two or threemonths at a time — “though my Mom does-n’t like me being away so much” — but hesaid he is not doing it for adventure.

“I think for me it is kind of a feeling that,well, a man is not the man he could be unlesshe tries to make the world a better place,” thePennsylvania native said during an interviewin early December. “I feel like I am doingsomething that has lasting value, somethingthat brings satisfaction to other people ratherthan just to myself.”

December can be a storm-less part of thecalendar year. Wilkowicz was in Floridawhen contacted, Agoglia in Washington,D.C., visiting a Red Cross office. Such dis-tance between team members is unusual, butcontingency plans are in place for swiftlyuniting them with the equipment should dis-

aster occur.For most of the year, team members live

together in firehouses or motels. They eitherare working in a devastated area or prepar-ing to drive to the next one.

“How I get there so quickly is that I workwith the best meteorologists all over thecountry, such as the folks from The WeatherChannel. When they report there are circu-lar motions in clouds over Kansas andMissouri, for example, we get to the regionand pre-position the fleet in harm’s way inorder to be within a five- or-10- hourresponse time,” Agoglia explained.

Were he operating as a for-profit compa-ny, his team’s anxious waiting for imminentdisaster would be decried as uncon-scionable, but to Agoglia, “Life is preciousand must be saved and time is of theessence. Most people die under rubble with-in 24 hours and its our job to get to the scenequickly to aid the emergency workers. Weremove the obstacles and do the heavy lift-ing so they can do their job and save lives.”

Looking to the FutureAgoglia’s team responds nationwide —

to wildfires in California or hurricanes inNorth Carolina or any severe storm inbetween. His main equipment depot is inKnoxville, Tenn., but he hopes within fiveyears to have two other teams in place onboth the east and west coasts.

Agoglia also is hoping to add a fire truckto his stable of equipment. At least once ayear he shows up in a community where afire station has been destroyed along with itsequipment, which he said leaves the fire-fighters feeling helpless.

“They are the real heroes in these situa-tions,” Agoglia said. “I want to have a firetruck available so that when the town iswithout its own equipment, we have some-thing to offer.”

The team is prepared to respond in justabout any other way. It has a hovercraft fortransportation in flood situations. GPSequipment helps local first responders com-municate and bring order to situations andhelps victims communicate with distantfamily members. Off-road motorbikes arestandard equipment to help find victims iso-lated by storms, as are more typical rescueequipment such as the biggest plasma cutteron the market, concrete saws, welders andcameras and sensors to search rubble.

“Let’s be realistic, it costs a lot of moneyto do this,” Agoglia acknowledged. “I amalmost out of my personal reserves and thecompanies that have responded have reallyset the bar high. I was moved by their gen-erosity. We need more help from other goodpeople who are doing it for the right reason.

The tornado that hit Parkersburg, Iowa, in May 2008 killed seven people anddestroyed 220 homes.

At least once a year the First Response Team shows up in a community where a firestation has been destroyed along with its equipment, like this one in Greensburg,Kan. Agoglia hopes to add a fire truck to his equipment fleet so firefighters canmake it use of it when needed .

J.C. Lee Construction & Supply, found-ed in Petrolia, Pa., in 1977 by John LeeJunior and his son, John III, specializes indrainage projects, primarily the installa-tion of cross-pipes and underdrains, for thehighway-heavy construction industry. Atone time, the crew spent 10 hours weldingon its Vermeer T-655 trenching machine’s4 ft. long by 12.5 in. wide (1.2 by 3.8 m)chain for every 40 hours of application.Weekends included.

Then, Joe Pistorius, now the firm’sequipment manager and trencher operatorfor more than 11 years, discoveredKennametal KenCast pads and bars.

“The same set of KenCast pads weinstalled in 2003 is still onthe job — even after almost1,000 hours of some of themost abrasive cutting we’veencountered in our history,”said Pistorius. “And, best ofall, we strongly feel this setcan go another 1,000hours….with just some rou-tine maintenance involved.”

Kennametal KenCastmetallurgically bondscemented tungsten carbideparticles, in various sizes, toair-hardened steel. Thiscombines the steel’s practi-cality with the carbide’swear resistance and tough-ness to create enhancedweld-on (by wire or rod)protection against even themost abusive environments.In fact, KenCast pads outlastand are more easily attached

(to trencher base plates and an endless array ofmining and construction equipment) versussolidcarbide tiles, AR-type steels, hardfacingmaterials, and embedded weld overlays,according to the manufacturer.

“They simply keep me in the trencher seat,not in the garage doing maintenance,” saidPistorius.

But Pistorius didn’t stop at KenCast chainprotection. After initial application to shield hisbase plates from the excessive damageincurred by scraping concrete and cutting rockduring road work, he realized that chain lifewas exceeding that of his bolt heads.

“So, I began applying KenCast in a way to deflect mate-rial away from our bolts. Now they wear evenly with theplates.”

In addition, KenCast pieces keep J.C. Lee’s base platessquare and the sides of their tooth-holders safeguarded. Timesavings, though, are just one part of the story.

“By our estimates, we now save up to $400 per week ondowntime. All due to these 272 [eight KenCast pads on eachof the chain’s 34 plates] marvelous little wear fighters,” saidPistorius.

J.C. Lee also uses Kennametal T7 (1 in. [2.5 cm] shank; 3in. [7.6 cm] gage) conical teeth and C30H heavy-duty pock-ets on its 12-year-old T-655 chain trencher that normally isactive four 10-hour days per week, performing base-drainwork on state highways and some unpaved township roads.

“The Kennametal cutting tools are absolutely the bestwe’ve ever tried. Always reliable, especially in the most dif-ficult operating conditions. Our T-655 machine recentlyreturned from 60,000 ft. of rough trenching — going right upagainst the edge of existing concrete — during the installa-tion of pavement-base drainage in central Pennsylvania. The66 Kennametal teeth held up remarkably well,” continuedPistorius.

J.C. Lee owns a smaller Vermeer T-455 machine, with anoffsetting head, as well. It employs 186 KenCast pads (andKennametal C20 slim-profile blocks) for its underdraintasks.

“And we get the same top-quality wear performance on itas on our T-655. These KenCast bars are always up to theseverest challenge. On any machine — on any job,”remarked Pistorius.

J.C. Lee Winning the War on Wear in the Trenches

Joe Pistorius (L), equipment manager/trencher opera-tor of J.C. Lee Construction & Supply, has been usingthe same set of KenCast wear pads to protect the baseplates on his Vermeer T-655 chain trencher for morethan six years. Randy Dobson, Pistorius’s localKennametal sales engineer, looks on.

Joe Pistorius (R) and Randy Dobson inspect theVermeer T-655 chain after yet another shift of extreme-ly difficult trenching to install drainage.

Joe Pistorius (L) and crew once spent 10 hours onmaintenance for every 40 hours of chain operation.KenCast wear pads, as checked here by RandyDobson, Kennametal sales engineer/representative,put Pistorius back into the trencher seat, not in thewelding shop.

J.C. Lee’s Vermeer T-655 chain trencher,fully equipped with Kennametal T7 teeth,C30HD blocks, and KenCast ultimatewear-fighter pads, makes a 4 ft. (1.2 m)deep cut on a concrete-highway drainagejob.

A close-up of KenCast wear pads —still on the job after almost 1,000hours of heavy-duty, abrasive cutting.J.C. Lee anticipates this same set willlast another 1,000 hours beforereplacement is required.

Weaver Bailey...

Stringless Trimming Ups Production on Bypass Project The town of Grady, Ark., had to be bypassed in summer

2008 when it didn’t have enough room through its down-town area to accommodate the Highway 65 rebuilding proj-ect. The Arkansas Highway Department purchased newright-of-way land for the project and work on the bypassbegan.

The new four-lane roadway, with two lanes in each direc-tion, going northbound and southbound, was created for theproject. Weaver Bailey Contractors Inc., based out of ElPaso, Ark., was responsible for trimming the subgrade. Itbrought in its two GOMACO 9500 trimmers for the work.

One 9500 ran off stringline, while the other trimmed withthe company’s new Topcon Millimeter GPS 3-D machinecontrol system.

“We thought it was time to take a step forward with thestringless technology and see what advantages the GPS sys-tem on one of our trimmers would have for us,” Jim Jolly,general superintendent of Weaver Bailey, said. “We werevery paranoid starting out with it, because we’ve been onstring for so many years.”

The 9500s are equipped with 16-ft. (4.9 m) trimmingheads and they are cutting through a silty sand material. Fivedifferent passes were needed to accomplish the trimming forthe 60-ft. (18.3 m) wide subgrade.

Stringline was set on some of the trimming passes for oneof the 9500s. The stringline also served as a check for thestringless system to make sure it was cutting an accurate sub-grade. It was a measure taken to combat some of the com-pany’s stringless paranoia.

“We had the stringline to come back to and check grade atany given spot,” Jolly said. “Plus, we had a Topcon rover forother spot checks so we knew, without a doubt between thetwo methods, that we were hitting grade.”

With any doubts about the system’s accuracy erased,Weaver Bailey started focusing on production. The 9500with stringless was averaging 5,000 sq. yd. (4,181 sq m) oftrimmed material per day. The 9500 on string averagedaround 3,000 sq. yd. (2,508 sq m).

“There’s the tendency with the stringline system that thefaster you go, the more vibration you pick up in your string-line and sensor wands,” Jolly said. “You don’t have to worryabout that when you’re stringless, and you can trim at a high-er speed. We can probably trim one-third faster than withstringline and not have any trouble with the grade, if our sub-

grade out front is prepared fairly closely.”Time savings also have to be taken into consideration with

the stringless system. Crews aren’t needed to set up all of thestringline on the project. Jolly also mentioned time savingswith the 9500 itself, getting off and on stringline for eachtrimming pass.

“The trimmer has to be set up and ready to run for everypass on the stringline … extend the arms out, reset the trim-mer, get back on line, that sort of thing,” Jolly explained. “Areally experienced crew will probably spend about 30 min-utes getting the trimmer ready to go again for another pass.With the stringless, you just pull off the trimmed pass, set

down on the new one and go again. That’s a big time savingsfor us.”

Weaver Bailey has claimed success on their first stringlesstrimming project and it is already looking forward to anoth-er to put the 9500 trimmers to work on.

“Our 9500s are really good machines,” Jolly said. “One ofthem is almost 15 years [old] with 15,000 hours on it and it’sstill running [well]. We’re not afraid to work them hard andthey never fail to deliver a good product.”

NORTRAXINDUSTRIAL TRACTOR CO., INC.


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.

For more information, visitwww.dynapac.com.

The Dynapac CP224, CP224Wand CP274 models have com-pacting widths ranging from71 to 91 in. (180 to 231 cm)and maximum operatingweights from 23 to 30 ton(20.8 to 27 t).

Terex PR330 Multipurpose Mill Features Wide Wheel StanceThe Terex PR330 utility mill from Terex

Roadbuilding features a wide 18 ft. 4 in. (5.6m) wheel stance and a low center of gravityfor sure-footed operation in the field. The16-in. (40.6 cm) wide tracks of the PR330Tdeliver sturdier operation and better tractionthan other units with 9-in. (22.9 cm) widetracks, according to the manufacturers.

A double parallelogram rear suspensiondesign keeps the tracks level to the grade andevenly distributes the weight when operatingon uneven terrain, further enhancingmachine stability.

The PR330 cold planer features a numberof options, so it can be configured to matcha wide variety of applications. It is availablewith either a four track (PR330T) or fourwheel (PR330W) drive system to fit theneeds of the contractor. The available multi-width cutter offers milling widths of 24, 36and 48 in. (61, 91 and 122 cm) to maximizemachine utilization. The cutter’s clamp-shellconnector design offers fast and simplewidth changes in about one hour.

With four steering modes, the PR330offers a tight turning radius for enhancedmaneuverability when cutting aroundobstructions. The operator can choosebetween front only, rear only, front and rearcrab or coordinated front and rear (cramp)

steering, enabling the machine to deliver aninside radius as small as 9 ft. 8 in. (2.9 m).When milling cul-de-sacs, this multipurposemachine delivers a small 14 ft. (4.3 m) right-hand or 19 ft. (5.8 m) left-hand turningradius while keeping the rear track inside thecut.

The PR330 features a “center mount” cut-ter design that positions the full weight of themachine over the rotor, enhancing perform-ance even in the toughest cuts. The subframeparallelogram design delivers a 24-in. eleva-tion to lower and raise the cutter in and outof the cut.

The planer’s standard 40-in. (101.6 cm)diameter drum cuts a 48-in. wide path atdepths reaching 12 in. (30.5 cm) for millingand stabilization patchwork. The drum’s 0.5-in. (1.3 cm) bullet tooth spacing leaves asmoother surface for motorists than moststandard half- and full-lane machines. Thecutter’s efficient hydrostatic drive features abuilt-in relief system, which protects criticaldrive components from severe damageshould the cutter hit an obstruction.

The machine features a water system witha high mist type nozzle for cooling of cutterteeth and dust control. Under typical operat-ing conditions, the PR330’s 375 gal (1400 L)water tank delivers uninterrupted service forup to 3.5 hours.

The Terex PR330 cold planer is poweredby a Tier III and Stage IIIA compliant, 330hp (245 kW) diesel engine. Similar to largercold planers in the Terex Roadbuilding line,this multipurpose milling machine includesa standard two-stage conveyor system. Bothhydraulically variable, two speed conveyorsfeature a 24 in. width, while the second stageconveyor swings 55 degree to the left and 35degree to the right of center for efficienttruck loading.


The PR330 cold planer is available with either a four track (PR330T) or four wheel(PR330W) drive system to fit the needs of the contractor.

Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS MakingImpact With Asphalt Pavers

BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track padshave been making an impact on asphaltmilling machine users, but the trend is nowcatching on with asphalt paving machineusers. These bolt-on pads can save up to 40percent on replacement orders by reusing thesteel triple grousers and up to 50 percent inlabor time when replacing the pads com-pared to a standard bonded track pad,according to the manufacturer.

David Dunn of Caldwell Paving, inCharleston, Tenn., purchased BLS PolyBolt-On TUFPADS track pads for hisLeeboy 8816 asphalt paver in early July2008. Since then, Dunn told BLS that themachine has been running every day and hasbeen working great.

“With the rubber pads,” Dunn said, “thetrack would often spin, leading to quickerwear.”

“It would have been so much nicer if themachine came set up with PBO grousers sowe didn’t have to buy them the first time wechanged pads,” Dunn said, referring to thefact that with the BLS Poly Bolt-On system,users do not have to replace the steel triplegrouser when replacing the track pad. Thiscan save contractors 30 to 40 percent inreplacement costs and save in shipping costby not having to ship the steel triple grousershoes after the first purchase, according toBLS.

The new Terex foamed asphalt system from TerexRoadbuilding allows producers to take advantage of the ben-efits of running warm mix asphalt without the significantcosts associated with additives. By simply mixing water andhot liquid asphalt (AC) in the expansion chamber, the newsystem eliminates the need for additives that increase thecost of asphalt by dollars per ton. Since its introduction inmid 2008, dozens of Terex warm mix asphalt systems havebeen installed in the field, successfully reducing mix tem-peratures by 50 to 90 F (10 to 32 C), according to the manu-facturer.

The system design consists of twomain components: an expansion chamberand a programmable logic control (PLC)skid package. The single-mixing-pointexpansion chamber is based on thefoamed-asphalt technology pioneered byTerex in 1998. Once the hot AC and watercombine in the expansion chamber, thefoamed asphalt is immediately injectedinto the drum. The injection pipe is sizedto the drum with a variable number ofspray nozzles to evenly and thoroughlycoat the heated aggregate.

For field installations, the warm mixPLC unit comes complete in a water skidpackage. The PLC unit interacts withplant controls to meter a predeterminedpercentage of water with liquid AC. Theskid also includes a 220 gal. (832.8 L)water tank and a variable frequency 5 hp(3.73 kW) electric motor. Featuring a beltdrive that allows the producer to increaseor decrease power output, the motordrives a highly accurate water pump,according to the manufacturer.

The PLC unit interfaces with most

input signals from a variety of plant controls packages. TheTerex warm mix asphalt system can be installed on any unit-ized counterflow drum mix plant. For new plant purchases,the control unit is integrated into the plant controls package.

Also contained in the skid package, a water meter veri-fies the correct percentage of water is injected with the hotAC inside the expansion chamber.

“By incorporating the meter, the Terex system goes a stepbeyond most other foamed asphalt units, which leave theoperator to assume the correct percentage of water is added,”said Joseph Musil, product manager at Terex Roadbuilding.

The Terex warm mix system works by injecting a variableamount of water with hot oil inside the exclusive expansionchamber. The system injects and mixes up to 4 percent ofwater by mass weight of the liquid AC. Higher percentagesof water result in more asphalt foaming action.

“In typical applications, producers inject 2 percent water,”said Musil. The Terex system is capable of producing up to600 tph (544 th) of asphalt at a 4 percent injection rate, andproducers can quickly switch between running warm andtraditional hot mix designs with the new system.

Hot-oil jacketed modules ensure dependable operation ofthe warm mix system. The expansionchamber is insulated and jacketed, whilethe asphalt and water safety check valvesare jacketed. The system’s injection pipeincludes a heating coil built inside thepipe to keep the valves from clogging.

“The heating jackets, insulation andcoil built into our warm mix system pre-vent the asphalt from cooling and subse-quent system blockage,” added Musil.

Many producers continue to realizesignificant operating benefits of runningwarm mix asphalt. Mixing at lower tem-peratures helps to reduce odor and partic-ulate, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxideemissions at the plant, while at the sametime virtually eliminate “blue smoke” atthe truck and paver. Warm mix asphalthelps to reduce the plant’s fuel consump-tion. Additionally, lower temperaturesinside the drum potentially result in alonger drum shell life, according to themanufacturer.


The system design consists of two main components: an expansion chamber and a pro-grammable logic control (PLC) skid package.

For field installations, the warm mix PLC unit comes complete in a water skid package. The PLC unit interacts with plant controls to meter a predetermined percentageof water with liquid AC.

Previous BudgetYear Funds Usedfor New Road Workcalled the speed-up of the highway work a way to help thestate economy and protect jobs.

Ankner said much of the money from previous budgetyears was available because of less-than-expected spendingon travel, salaries and a variety of other costs.

The federal government will reimburse part of the spend-ing because the money will be used for projects slated toreceive federal road dollars in upcoming years, Ankner said.State lawmakers must approve some of the spending in the2010 legislative session before it can begin.

Among the largest projects slated for construction withthe money is a $23 million bridge replacement and wideningin the Baton Rouge area over the Amite River, $17 millionfor road work on Interstate 49 in St. Landry Parish and $15million for Interstate 55 work in Tangipahoa Parish.

All the projects were part of a three-year construction planalready approved by state lawmakers and federal officials,Ankner said.

JINDAL from page 1

Komatsu America Corp.’s (KAC) PC88MR-8 mid-sizedhydraulic excavator is designed to bring increased produc-tion and added operator comfort to contractors in a widevariety of construction, utility, landscaping and other exca-vating applications. The 8 ton class (8.4 t) unit bridges thegap between “compact” and “construction” sized units.

The PC88MR-8 is equipped with KOMTRAX technolo-gy, which sends machine operating information to a secureWeb site utilizing wireless technology. Real-time dataincluding machine operating hours, machine location andfuel levels are relayed to the web application for customerviewing and analysis.

Key features of the new PC88MR-8 include:• Enhanced comfort and ease of operation

The PC88MR-8 is a member of the short-swing radiusfamily, meaning the operator can focus on the work in frontand worry less about rear swing impact in confined areas. Itaccomplishes these tasks while maintaining its high liftingcapacity and stability. The X- frame undercarriage providesstrength and helps prevent mud and debris build-up, savingthe operator valuable time when cleaning the machine.

The all new cab is the same as used on Komatsu’s largerunits and features a standard automatic climate control sys-tem, pilot-proportional joystick controls with auxiliaryhydraulics control on the right joystick and a 7-in. colormonitor for easy viewing of machine functions and monitor-ing systems.

Every PC88MR-8 also is equipped with a control patternchange valve so the operator can choose either “backhoe”style or “excavator” style controls to match his personal pref-erence.

• Power and PerformanceThe PC88MR-8 gets its power from a Komatsu Tier III,

65 hp (48 kW) diesel engine, which has an increase of 17percent more power than the prior model PC78MR-6. It alsofeatures increased drawbar pull, faster travel speed, 10 per-cent more arm digging force and a significant improvementin dozer blade travel to enhance grading and backfill opera-tions, according to the manufacturer.

The PC88MR-8 has an operating weight of 18,558 lbs.(8,418 kg) and features a maximum digging depth of 15 ft. 2in. (4.6 m), with a maximum reach of 23 ft. 5 in. (7 m). Thestandard auxiliary hydraulic system flow of 33 gpm (125Lpm) can be easily changed from single direction flow to bi-directional flow to provide enhanced hydraulic attachmentproductivity.

• ValueThe PC88MR-8 is packed with construction excavator

features like X-Frame undercarriage, just like Komatsu’s

larger models. It features the very same cab with viscous iso-lation mounts and an instrument package with money-savingfeatures like auto-idle, and an “eco” gauge that tells the oper-ator if he’s operating at maximum fuel efficiency. There alsoare five working modes to match hydraulic power to the job,thereby increasing fuel economy further. It also offers thechoice of four track systems; rubber track, two steel grousersystems and the Komatsu Road-Liner track system, ideal foruse on multiple surfaces.

• Service and MaintenanceTo simplify maintenance, Komatsu equipped the

PC88MR-3 with numerous features. Daily inspections are

enhanced by the incorporation of wide opening compart-ments to allow access to the engine, cooling system,hydraulic valve settings, air cleaner, coolant and windshieldwasher bottles. In addition, maintenance intervals, includinglubrication, have been extended to 500 hours.

• Peace of MindEvery PC88MR-8 is backed by a Komatsu 3 year/3000

hour warranty. It’s also loaded with standard features thatenhance job site security like lockable compartments withsingle key access, travel alarm, neutral engine start systemand ROPS protection.

Industry Giants Donate New Equipment to Good CauseI believe there are a lot of good peopleout there. I believe it is going to work.”

Greg Arscott, general manager ofThe Pete Store in Knoxville, said hisoffice decided to assist Agoglia simplybecause they could.

“We have trucks, we can help,” hesaid, failing to mention that the compa-ny also donated use of a building for theFirst Response Team’s offices and anacre-and-a-half lot to park the equip-ment. “There’s always a cause outthere, but you can’t always see theimpact of your help. With the FirstResponse Team, the next relief effortcould be in our own backyard.”

Arscott believes that other manufac-turers and industry leaders will see thatAgoglia’s efforts are “legitimate” and“as the economy improves, many ofthem will come out of the woodwork tosupport his efforts. I think it’s a tributeto Tad that, in one of the worst eco-nomic climates in 70 years, he has got-ten the support he has.”

One of the donated Peterbilt trucksgot baptized in November during theteam’s response to flooding in Virginia.

Agoglia drove it through five feet of salt-water to rescue a woman. He reported theimmersion to Arscott.

“I said I think we’ll have to change all thefluids in the truck,” he recalled. “You knowthey might have said, ‘How dare you!’Instead, they said, ‘Well, so be it. We’llchange all the fluids.’ This is the kind ofresponse that keeps the team going.”

Both Agoglia and his backers in theequipment industry are confident that thebusiness model of altruism that Agoglia hasconceived can be sustained and expanded.It will require financial donations via theteam’s Web site at firstresponseteam.org,plenty of interagency networking and peri-odic equipment support, but Agoglia’s two-and-a-half years of experience have proventhe project’s viability. In fact, Cat has madean offer to match some of the cash dona-tions that Agoglia’s team can raise in 2010.

Certainly the 33-year-old Agoglia is abeliever in the effort.

“I’m still young enough to think every-thing is possible.”

enjoyed a nice dinner party before the con-cert. I do want to express my deepest thanksto the Cobles and everyone else that sacri-fices some time to give back to the soldiers.Always know that the smallest bit makes theworld of difference to every soldier andevery one of their families.”

Lohss, a Pennsylvania resident, alsocomes from a family that has served in theUnited States military for generations. Heplans to continue out the final three years onhis contract, and then make a decision onwhether or not to stay in for retirement, as hewill have served 12 years.

He described Coble as a kind man whotook all the time in the world to show hispassengers his business and private jet and tofamiliarize them with various aspects of apilot’s life, which he would never have beenintroduced to otherwise.

“Upon arrival in Nashville the staff of theLoew’s Hotel was extremely kind and gen-erous with us being there. Meeting Mr.David Allen, the man that produced theevent, was a wonderful experience. He saidthe VIP party we attended was all for us sol-diers,” Lohss added.

Billed as An Evening Celebrating OurNation's Military Families, the all-star pro-gram was headlined by Vince Gill, AmyGrant, Jim Lauderdale, and the Steeldrivers,and also featured a surprise appearance byRicky Skaggs.

Hay described the concert as “wonder-ful,” adding that “the standing ovation theother soldiers and I were given was heartwarming.”

Lohss concurred, saying it meant a lot thatso many individuals and families had goneout of their way to make the veterans’ weekcelebration “as perfect as it could get.”

“Receiving a standing ovation at thebeginning of the concert brought tears to oureyes. It was overwhelming to see how muchsome people give to those that have servedoverseas,” he went on. “If I hadn’t gone Imay never have seen the generosity of thesewonderful people. The thanks we gave tothem was quickly returned by all the peoplethat would stop us to say ‘no, thank you forall that you have done and continue to do.’”

Coble Trench Safety’s president TomCoble intends to make further flights for theVeterans Airlift Command, and stressed heand his employees look forward to addition-al opportunities to show their support for thetroops.

“This is a small way that we can say‘thank you’ to our troops and show our sup-port,” he said. “Our nation is truly blessedbecause of the sacrifices of our brave menand women in the armed forces.”

If you have a lot of Mother Earth to move there is no better equipment than Volvo Excavators

and Volvo Articulated Haulers. From boom to counterweight, every Volvo Excavator is simply

built better. They are aggressive, rugged, powerful and balanced. Volvo Articulated Haulers

come with a heritage of superior load capacity, fast work cycles and powerful dump hydraulics.

When combined with low fuel consumption and long service intervals, you can be assured of

high productivity and low cost. So, if you need a bigger digger and a tougher hauler, this Volvo

combination can’t be beat. Visit ASC Construction Equipment now and get your Volvo.
