NUCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEPositive Energy at Work HereAs some of you know, my childhood dream was to coachsome “storied” major college football program here in theSouth. Instead, for nine years I’ve had the privilege andpleasure of coaching my son’s “storied” Little League baseballand Pop Warner football teams. During the past two seasons, Ihave been exposed to something that is radically different fromwhat typical recreation departments offer — namely, “TravelBaseball.” For those of you not familiar with the phenomenon,it is like the Minor Leagues for 11- and 12- year-olds. Coachingthese talented young people has given me a firsthand look atthe role energy plays in the process of assembling a team of all-stars and gettingthem to put aside selfish interests and mesh together. I am not talking aboutnatural 11- and 12-year-old energy; I am speaking of the energy that either bringsa team together and lifts it to new heights or tears it apart and sends it into adownward spiral.I have seen both happen — not only in Travel Baseball, but also in the world atlarge. We each give off positive or negative energy depending upon how satisfiedwe are with our current situation. If we exude positive energy, we enable thosearound us to achieve goals that independently would be unobtainable. When it isnegative energy that manifests itself within us, the opposite happens. We becomea stumbling block to those who strive for greatness.In my years of being a NUCA member, I have seen both types of energy at work.I therefore feel very lucky to have assumed the presidency during a period ofincredible positive energy. Gone is the negativity that plagued us for several years.Squelched is the “we-can’t-do-it-because” attitude that left the association treadingwater. The negative energy has been replaced with a positive, can-do mentality thathas been embraced by the entire “team” — national leadership, members, chapterleaders and NUCA staff alike. It is very much in evidence in our successes onCapitol Hill and in the professional educational and training programs initiatedand brought to fruition by our safety and education departments. You can feel it atour meetings. Our growing membership reflects it.So, if you’re going it alone, or not happy with the team you’re on, give a thoughtto joining ours. If you’re already on the NUCA team, help us keep the momentumgoing by adding your positive energy to the mission and work of the oldest andlargest national trade association working solely for the utility construction industry.To quote Vince Lombardi, one of the most successful coaches in the history ofAmerican football, “The achievements of an organization are the results of thecombined efforts of each individual.”Regards,James KingBENJAMIN MEDIAPublishing TeamPublisherBernard P.

As Millions in the Construction Workforce Face Retirement,Many Wonder Who Will Take Their PlaceBy Nick ZubkoNot that most contractors haven’t noticed, butthere have been an unusual number of shortagesin the construction industry as of late.For a while there, equipment manufacturerswere clamoring for steel like it was going out of style.Tire manufacturers and equipment owners alike werepiecing together old tires because rubber was so scarce.Paving contractors had to ration their asphalt use, aseven concrete had become tough to come by. But theconstruction industry is facing another shortage inthe next few years that will undoubtedly be more difficult(and more devastating) than anything it has seen inthe last 50 years — a shortage of people.You usually don’t think of people as something that isgoing to run out. But the millions of “baby boomers”who entered the labor force throughout the 1960s and’70s are fast approaching their retirement. And for manycontractors, that’s going to mean a lot of empty seats atthe next crew meeting. The good news is that millions ofpotential replacements are graduating from high school,technical schools and construction management programsevery year. The bad news, however, is that theconstruction site isn’t at the top of their list of career destinations.In fact, it’s far from it.A Sense of UrgencyWith the baby boomer generation retiring (and little tono growth in the 18 to 26 age group), the NationalAssociation of Manufacturers forecasts a shortage ofapproximately 13 million to 15 million skilled workers by2020. In addition, those entering the workforce have outdatedor inadequate skills for many of the high-demandjobs. In fact, around 60 percent of all new jobs in the 21stcentury will require skills possessed by only 20 percent ofthe existing workforce.“Back in 2000 we first started hearing rumblings thatthe industry was facing a workforce shortage,” recallsNicole Hallada, director of marketing for the Associationof Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). “Now we are hearingit from everyone in every sector of our membershipthat it’s a big problem and we need to do something big.It’s not like it was seven years ago — it’s worse.”18 Utility Contractor | September 2007

“Most construction firmswill list attracting andretaining people as one oftheir top three issues.Unfortunately, no one reallyever trains constructionmanagers on how to dothat. So now they are in aposition where they need tolearn very quicklyin order to adapt.- Chason Hecht, president of Retensa”Those leading the industry today (many of them babyboomers) went into the family business because it meantsomething to the family and there was a perception ofvalue and fulfillment. But things have changed considerably.A survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal in2006 that asked high school students to rank 250 possiblecareers choices. Construction came in at 248.“This is no longer an abstract, intangible problem forthis industry,” notes Brian Moore, a senior consultantfor FMI Corp., which provides management consulting,training and investment banking services for theconstruction industry. “Individual companies arealready feeling the effects. Every day clients are tellingme we can’t find the people they need. It doesn’t matterwhether it’s laborers, supervisors or project managers— they don’t know how they’re going to fill thesepositions. It might be on a smaller scale right now, butit’s getting bigger every day. And people need to wakeup and realize that it’s coming, because once it’s in fullswing, it’ll be too late”What’s more, the U.S. Bureau of Labor statisticsreports that the construction industry, which currentlyemploys 7 million people, needs to attract 240,000workers each year to replace the workers retiring orleaving the industry. According to Chason Hecht, presidentof Retensa, an employee retention services firmbased in New York City, construction ranks at the topof the list of companiesfacing the biggest problemwith employee retentionin the next 10 years.And in comparison toother industries, it’sgoing to have a hard timefiguring out what to doabout it.“It’s at least as dire as itis projected to be, andpeople are recognizing itmore than they ever havebefore,” says Hecht. “Thesituation is so severe,it has reached all theway up to the top ranksof just about everyconstruction company.Most construction firmswill list attracting andretaining people as one oftheir top three issues.Unfortunately, no one everreally trains constructionmanagers on how to dothat. So now they are in aposition where they needto learn very quickly inorder to adapt.”A New GenerationOne reason for the low level of interest, accordingto Hecht, is that this “Generation Y,” as it’s called, havespent the last 15 or 20 years watching their fathersand uncles putting in 50, 60 or 70 hours a week at aconstruction site. And during that time, more than a fewnegative seeds were planted.One reason given for the lack of interest in “Generation Y” is having seen the lastgeneration work 50, 60 or 70 hours a week on a construction site. During that time,more than a few negative seeds were planted.September 2007 | Utility Contractor 19

“There’s a tendencyfor constructionworkers and ownersto bring their workhome with them. Butwhat exactly havethey been bringinghome?” he asks.“Is it how much theyloved their job orwas it mostly complaints?Now, theseowners are lookingfor their children totake over the business,but the realityis, many of themhave been talkingabout what a painit is for the last 20years. There just isn’tthat tolerance inthis generation forbeing unfulfilled intheir work. Theydon’t have to loveit necessarily, but ithas to be meaningfuland challenging.”In reality, constructionhas more sellingpoints for the new generation than it tends to portray.Not only are there vast career opportunities, but thefinancial reward can be significant and every job is differentand unique. Plus, it’s one of the few jobs whereyou can be physical. And there’s a whole segment of theworkforce who doesn’t want to sit inside behind a desk– workers who want to challenge both their minds andtheir bodies while they’re at work and who get boredsitting behind a desk.“That’s a huge need for Gen X and Gen Y — to be ableto learn, to be stimulated mentally and grow theirskills,” explains Hecht. “Continuous learning is key.You can’t just give them a job… you have to constantlybe cultivating what they know — communicatinglearning opportunities. That’s not seen in construction,which perpetuates this stigma that you’re going to bestuck doing the same grunt work forever. That’s a badhabit that needs to be broken.”As a result, these “perks” have been substantiallyunder-marketed by the industry. Most young peopletoday don’t see construction as a career — or realize thevast opportunities it provides for their future. Accordingto James King, president of Conyers, Ga.-based DeKalbPipeline Co. and the 2007-2008 president of theNational Utility Contractors Association (NUCA), theindustry needs to portray the professionalism and levelof success seen in other industries.Contractors and construction firms are finally getting serious aboutgoing to the high schools in career days, getting in front of high schoolstudents before they have made up their minds.“Conveying thosepositives is somethingthe industry hasstruggled with for along time,” says King.“We really need to doa better job of promotingourselves, portrayingourselves as successful,respected professionals.And thatapplies to the perceptionof the generalpublic as a whole,because until we canchange that, we’regoing to have anawful hard time convincingthe youngpeople.”To get through totoday’s youth, everyoneseems to agreethat establishing specificcareer paths is akey piece of dialogwith potentialrecruits. Contractorsand constructionfirms are finally gettingserious aboutgoing to the high schools in career days, getting in front ofhigh school students before they have made up their minds.And simply informing them of the significant advancesin the industry can make a difference. Contractors havebecome familiar with technologically advanced equipmentsuch as computers, GPS, surveying and CAD software.These are tools that many of today’s youth might be interestedin, but most of them still don’t associate them withconstruction.“There is this whole range of tools that weren’t therewhen our generation started in this business,” King adds.“In reality, those things really fit into the skill set oftoday’s youth – project management, estimating and constructionmanagement. These fields are now open tothese kids that place them two or three clicks above theaverage laborer. They are still not plugging into thatbecause the general perception has not kept pace with theadvances in the industry.”Getting the Message AcrossWhile understanding the needs of the new generationis a good first step, there is still a lot of work to bedone. Many companies have already started makingefforts to address the shortage in varying degrees.Some are big into recruitment — from attending skillsevents where potential workers are and they mightrecruit them, to smaller things at the dealer level.20 Utility Contractor | September 2007

But these companies need to go even further and to bemore active in their communities — to try and breaksome misconceptions.“Simple things like sponsoring a Little League teamor participating in the communities where the youthare involved, can make a big impact on parents and theadults these kids are looking to for advice,” saysHecht. “As much as construction is involved in thecommunity when they are building things, they are notreally there otherwise. By getting involved in communityfunctions, people are able to see with their owneyes that construction workers have a lives too.”Another big challenge today is that more highschools than ever before have adopted primarily collegepreparatory scholastic programs, pushing studentsinto four-year colleges and universities. In manycases, industrial classes have been cut and guidancecounselors — who have the same perception as the restof the public — allow careers in construction to fall tothe bottom of the list.“It’s more difficult to expose kids who would have agood fit in a technical program through that opportunitybecause of the push to go into a four-year school,”explains Hallada. “However, when you look at the technicalschools, the Madison Area Technical College, forexample, the average age of a student is 29. For thosepeople, that’s 10 years that people could have been wellinto their career and moving up the ladder if they werejust exposed to the industry back in high school.”According to Moore, the industry needs to get a lotmore involved with these people — the career counselors,the teachers and administrators — becausethey are the ones who have the biggest impact.They spend eight hours a day with them and they arethe ones they look to for advice and can shape thefuture of these kids.“If you can educate them and let them understandthat this is a good career choice — I think that goes along way,” Moore adds. “High school and college studentshave a lot of different things competing for theirattention, so it requires consistent effort. Everyone inthis industry needs to consistently provide studentsand their parents with an understanding that constructioncan be a great career.”AEM took an important step in addressing the problemwhen it launched its first “ConstructionChallenge” competition, designed to attract the bestand brightest young people into the constructionindustry in professions ranging from manufacturingto in-the-field careers. Its goal is to educate students,teachers and parents about the opportunities inthe construction industry and to raise awarenessabout the infrastructure issues that our country isfacing. Sixty teams will compete and each one willhave a sponsor.“It’s going to expose some bright kids to some reallygood career opportunities,” says Hallada. “This is sucha big issue, you really need to have measurable tacticsin place, and many people coming to the same table.There are a lot of other people doing things on theirown and we all need to be on the same page so we arenot all reinventing the wheel. There is a real industrygathering that is going to need to take place. That waywe’re all maximizing our efficiencies.”With all of the research that has been done, no one candispute the fact that there is workforce shortage. The magnitudeof the challenge has finally been recognized, andrehashing numbers has proven to be a waste of time. It onlyserves to postpone the inevitable. But it’s only inevitable ifnothing is done about it. The future of the workforce lies inthe hands of anyone who makes a living in construction.There needs to be a real, substantial and consolidated effortif anyone expects to make a dent — to make sure this industryremains strong for generations to come. And it needs tohappen soon.“Building a great workforce is the toughest thingany single company can do. And it’s true, the fact thatthere are so many macroeconomic issues workingagainst construction makes it substantially harder,”says Hecht. “But what’s the alternative? The wholelabor pool in all industries is less than it’s ever been.And unlike many other industries, you can’t offshoreconstruction. You need the people here. This problemneeds to be addressed soon, because it’s just not goingto get any easier.”Nick Zubko is associate editor of Utility Contractor.September 2007 | Utility Contractor 21

The Writingon the SidewallsToday’s Trench Shoring & Shielding Systems Offer ContractorsSolutions to Make Any Project More ProductiveBy Nick ZubkoIf you have ever seen an excavator dig a hole, or heck, ifyou’ve ever hand dug your garden, you probably noticethat the soil has a tendency to return from whence it came— back in the hole. That’s why hundreds of years ago (orprobably more, no one’s really sure), builders started installingsupport systems on the sides of large and deep trenches andexcavations – because the less the dirt and soil returned to thetrench, the less time it would take them to finish digging.At least, that was its initial purpose — productivity.It wasn’t until years later that the systems were perceivedas more of a safety measure, as they are today. Essentially,a trench shield does exactly what it sounds like it should.It protects workers (or shields them) inside a trench froma potential cave-in. What eventually became known astrench “shoring” is an advanced take on this process,where the sidewalls of the trench are supported with22 Utility Contractor | September 2007

Early variations of trench shielding and shoring (at least as we know them today) began to take shape in theearly 1900s using timber shoring, followed by steel boxes that were built by contractors as far back as the 1930s.some sort of pressure to actually prevent a cave-in. It firstcame about with the introduction of the “screw jack”design spreaders, which were later replaced with aluminumhydraulics.Essentially, trench shielding is the use of a systemplaced in a trench after excavation has taken place, usedto protect workers in the trench. They may also protectadjacent infrastructure, but that is not its primary purpose.Examples of this type of system are trench boxes ofall types and aluminum hydraulic shoring. A trench box,trench shield or mule is all the same thing. According toBrian Crandall, president of Icon EquipmentDistributors, trench shoring or “sheeting,” on the otherhand, is driven into the ground prior to excavation or thesystem is placed as excavation proceeds.“The purpose of these systems is for worker protectionand the protection of adjacent infrastructure,” Crandallexplains. “Typically, these systems support the excavationvertically from the top to the bottom of the excavation.Examples of this type of system are slide rail systems,wood sheeting, H-Beam and wood lagging,H-Beam and steel plates and steel sheeting. Conventionalsheeting such as wood sheeting and H-Beam and woodlagging came first. Wood sheeting has been used forhundreds or maybe even thousands of years.”Mothers of InventionEarly variations of trench shielding and shoring (atleast as we know then today) began to take shape in theearly 1900s, using timber shoring, followed by steelboxes that were built by contractors as far back as the1930s. These steel boxes were usually heavier thanneeded and used fixed I-Beams instead of the pin-onspreaders that are common today. Contractors firststarted using shields that they made on their own,which could be done at that time because OSHA regulationshad not yet been established for trench shoringand shielding“The designs obviously varied depending on the contractor,but for the most part they consisted of two steelsidewalls with a spreader bar welded in place for thewidth,” explains Matt Vogel, who handles sales and marketingfor Houston-based Cerda Industries. “They basicallyworked much like the shields. However they hadmany less features than today’s designs, which haveimprovements such as a pin-on spreader pipe, four-pointlift systems or designed stacking assemblies.”Up until the early 1970s, contractors either made theirown shoring or used none at all. There weren’t any regulationsor enforcement, so oftentimes nothing was usedon the walls of the trench. They were excavated verticallyor sloped ever so slightly. Those who attempted tomake their own trench shields used primitive wood orsteel plates, but their designs were typically not up to par.“The equipment consisted of cable cranes, steam hammersand cable shovels. Installing deep sewers was somethingof an art form, and only the best contractors took onthose really tough jobs,” Crandall explains. “During the1970s, trench boxes popped up all over the country,featuring structural fabricated spreaders that were verydurable, but also very heavy and expensive. Changing thewidth of the system was also very time consuming.”September 2007 | Utility Contractor 23

Weighing InAs more contractors attempted to makeshift versions oftheir own shoring solutions throughout the 1970s, it wasonly a matter of time before a new industry started cominginto its own. In no time, companies such as EfficiencyProduction, Griswold Machine & Equipment (GME) andSpeed Shore led the manufacturing development. As aresult, there are more sizes available and most designs usepipe spreaders that are easier to assemble rather than structuralspreaders that must be bolted to the box.“Those first trench shields were primarily made out ofsteel, welded solid with “I beam” spreaders that allowedlittle to no room for adjustment,” notes Frank Balluff,president of Pro-Tec Equipment, a Charlotte, Mich.-basedmanufacturer and distributor of trench shielding andshoring equipment. “The contractor had to decide howwide of a shield they needed and it came welded as acomplete unit. The first shields were only available witha 6-in. sidewall thickness.”Over the years, trench shields have changed dramatically.Hydraulic shoring looks and works very similar tothe first ones that were put on the market. Trenchshields became available in many wall thicknessesincluding 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-in. thick. Original shieldswere built with A – 36 mild steel and today highstrengthsteel is used. Shields today use pipe spreadersand can easily be adjusted to a wide range of widths.They are stackable for various depths.New versions of hydraulic excavators (similar to theones we know today) were introduced around the sametime and became an instant hit, as they made movingand placing trench boxes and other shoring apparatusessignificantly easierand more accurate.The weight of the systemsstill posed achallenge, and eventuallyprompted anevolution to lighterweight,aluminumhydraulic shoring.“Manufacturers referto aluminum hydraulicshores as verticalshores, which consistof two aluminum railswith two hydraulicshores joined by a hosethat distributes thepressurized hydraulicfluid. This is a shieldingsystem and isplaced after the excavationhas taken place,”Crandall explains.“Vertical shoring refersto a sheeting system,which is driven into theground or placed as the excavation proceeds. The end resultis the excavation is vertical and the excavation is supportedat all times from original ground to the sub-grade ofthe excavation.”Aluminum also became a common material for use inbuilding light weight shields for smaller equipment to beable to handle and for modular units that can be transportedin a pickup truck and hand assembled at the jobsite.Over the years, manufacturers started making lightershields for use with smaller machines and advanced intoaluminum shoring for contractors with backhoes notexcavators.“Developments in both shielding and shoring systems dictatedhow contractors did their work,” says Balluff. ”In theNorth, steel trench boxes were heavy and so the excavatorshad to be large. And because the winters were severe workingwith steel systems rather than water based hydraulicsystems worked better. In the South, warm weatherworked well with the aluminum hydraulic systems and thecontractors could use smaller excavators.Another factor that determined hydraulics vs. steelboxes was the nature the native soils. The Northern areashad “glacial till” that was easier to shore with steel boxesand the Southern soils tended to be more stable and couldbe shored easier with hydraulic shoring.“The use of aluminum has made a large change in theindustry,” says Vogel. “It has allowed contractors whocould not lift the heavy steel shields to have an alternative.Lighter shields are also more common, for use withsmaller machines. Also they advanced into the aluminumshoring for contractors with backhoes in addition to thelarge excavators.”Over the years, manufacturers started making lighter shields for use with smaller machinesand advanced into aluminum shoring for contractors with backhoes not excavators.24 Utility Contractor | September 2007

Slide Rail SystemsAnother type of shoring system on the market today iscalled a slide rail, which was introduced in Europe formore than 50 years only caught on in the United States —to varying degrees — in the last 20 years. These systemsconsist of “slide rails” that are supported by at least twobraces that cross the trench and steel lining plates thatinterlock with the rails to form a modular system.“Slide rail systems are a “pre-engineered” shoring/sheetingsystem that can be pushed into the ground as the excavationproceeds,” explains Crandall. “They are pushedvertically into the excavation as the excavator removessoil. As this happens the plates are also pushed, so the systemsinks into the excavation as soil is removed andalways supports the entire excavation wall.”A slide rail is typically built with five main components:panels (similar to trench shields), a corner post, a spreaderpost, a roller beam and spreader beams. It can be set upin a number of different ways to achieve the end result thatthe job requires. Much like other systems, slide rail systemsare typically durable and flexible, but according tomanufacturers, they allow for greater depths and muchlarger clear spans. Slide rails are also commonly used as analternative to sheeting, wood or beam and lag shoring.“The big difference between a slide rail and a trenchshield is that the slide rail provides active soil supportwhen it is being installed, while it is in place and when itis being removed, so you have minimum soil disturbance,”says Balluff. “The panels slide down in tracks, telescopingdown while digging and pushing. When removing the bottompanels can be pulled up in increments while backfillingand compaction takes place. A trench shield is put intoan open excavation and does not prevent soil from movingbut protects the workers in the excavation from getting hitby soil that caves in.”Most manufacturers agree that the acceptance and successof the slide rail system has been one of the mostimportant developments the industry has seen over thelast decade. They serve as an economical alternative totight sheeting methods and provide a unique “dig andpush” system that can be installed from the top down andremoved from the bottom up. Having replaced conventionalsheeting, the innovation has pushed the sheetingsolution from a field problem to a manufactured productsolution — reducing labor and equipment costs whileimproving safety.Selection CriteriaWith the wide variety of support solutions on the markettoday, it’s important to determine the right equipmentfor each individual project. In simple excavations (referredto as “dig and lay”), that require that you dig the hole, putsomething in it and backfill, a single trench box a littlelonger than the length of pipe to be laid is sufficient.“The dimension of the trench, including depth, lengthand width, play an important part, in addition to soil conditions,crossing utilities, pipe size and the type ofmachine being used,” explains Vogel. “You also need toSeptember 2007 | Utility Contractor 25

take into account if there are any special clearancesneeded. If you have to worry about adjacentinfrastructure, then a slide rail system maybe an alternative. It comes down to application.The more basic or simple the construction, theshorter the system you will need. Every shoringor shielding product has a limitation so youmust determine your usage around the applicationyou are trying to work in.”In addition, as project becomes more complicated,a longer shoring system might berequired. An example would be a pipeline projectthat requires the pipe to be placed on woodpiles or engineering fabric and house connectionsto existing utilities have to be connected asconstruction proceeds. Each operation that musttake place before backfill requires a safe workingspace to operate. In shallow excavations verticalhydraulic shielding can be used to open up a sufficientlength of trench. Deeper excavations areideal for multi-bay slide rails system. In complicatedurban projects it is not unusual to see sliderail systems of six to 12 bays being utilized.“For the most part, the main factors thatwill determine which shoring method to useare soil conditions and the machinery on thejobsite,” Balluff explains. “Hydraulic shoringsystems are not to be used in excavationwhere water is present. That’s because if thesidewalls are muddy, there wouldn’t beenough resistance from the ground to allow the systemsto be usable. As far as machinery goes, for a system likea slide rail, the machinery that would be required toallow the system to be installed and removed as easilyand quickly as possible is going to be a 90,000-pluspound machine.”“If done properly, all the systems are safe,” Crandall adds.“If you’re interested in protecting adjacent infrastructure,then you use a shoring or sheeting system. If excavationpast the vertical plane will incur a lot of restoration costs,shoring or sheeting systems may be used. An excavationthat is deep and has to stay open more than two or threedays may need shoring/sheeting. If there is a lot of workingroom and worker safety is the main concern then a shieldingsystem may be considered.”Safe & ProductiveToday, both trench shoring and shielding help to insurethe safety of the workers and can also increase the productionon the job. As federal regulations became moredefined in the 1970s, education, training and the use ofbetter and more frequent use shielding/shoring equipmentbecame increasingly common.And while the industry still has room to grow andmature, manufacturers say nearly every factor in excavationpractices has improved dramatically over the past 25years — from excavation safety and man-hour productionto general worker knowledge of how to be safe in anexcavation.26 Utility Contractor | September 2007The industry continues to mature and the variety and availabilityof shoring and shielding systems allows every contractor towork safely and productively .“Workers who feel safe in an excavation work fasterand are more efficient,” says Crandall. “Improving thebottom line is always important to a successful companyand reduction of accidents help employee morale,the bottom line and public relations. Federal regulationsbecome more defined many years ago and this hasled to more education training, use of better and moreshielding/shoring equipment and safer worksites.”Shoring has played a very important part in the growthutility construction industry. Because of deaths andinjuries from trench cave-ins that have occurred in thepast, OSHA put significant effort into the enforcement ofits safety standards. Contractors today are required tounderstand the standard and have employees that understandit. Manufacturers and distributors have trained tensof thousands of people over the years and these effortscontinue to this day. Not to mention that the industrycontinues to mature and the variety and availability ofshoring and shielding systems allows every contractor towork safely and more productively.“No matter what kind of excavation a contractor is facedwith, it’s likely there is a shoring solution for it,” notes Balluff.“With the tremendous growth in distribution over the pastten years. it’s also likely that the equipment is available forsale or rent anywhere in the country. Bottom line is that thereis no excuse for not using proper shoring to protect people.The equipment is readily available and reasonably priced.”Nick Zubko is associate editor of Utility Contractor.

You Can’t Always Get What You WantBy Bill WilsonAcertificate of insurance is an informationaldocument issued by or on behalf of an insurancecompany. It indicates that an insurancepolicy of a certain type exists and functionssimply as a snapshot of the basic policy coverages andlimits at the time of issuance. Certificates are notintended to modify coverages, or to change the terms ofthe insurance contract and they convey no contractualrights to the certificate holder.As a utility contractor, you are no doubt often askedto sign construction or service contracts that includecertain insurance requirements that must be evidencedby a certificate of insurance. If the certificate holderdesires status as an additional insured under a policy,this can only be done by an endorsement to the policy.A certificate alone will not change the policy.Problems often arise when a contract makesdemands that are, for all practical purposes, virtuallyimpossible to meet. Examples include requests forinsurance for losses or damages that are uninsurable,requests that agents do not have authority to executeor cannot legally comply with, requests that requireinappropriate certificate wording and requests that areimpractical from a market standpoint.28 Utility Contractor | September 2007As a result, insurance agents are sometimes asked toprovide a certificate of insurance that can't comply witha contract that has already been signed. In fact, the jobmay already be completed and the certificate is neededin order to get paid. The purpose of this article is toillustrate how such problems can arise and what solutionsare available, if any, to address the most commonproblems. As the Rolling Stones put it, “You can’t alwaysget what you want, but if you try sometime, you justmight find, you get what you need.”Uninsurable Certificate RequestsSometimes contracts will attempt to transfer risks andliabilities that are largely uninsurable. For example, thecontract may require you to be responsible, under acommercial general liability (CGL) policy, for “anynegligent acts, errors or omissions” or “any and allliabilities” that result in “any claim, cost, expense,liability, penalty or fine.”A CGL policy typically covers bodily injury, propertydamage and personal and advertising injury liabilitythat arise from “occurrences.” It often does not cover“errors and omissions” or fines and penalties. In addition,the word “any” implies there are no exclusions

“when, in fact, the policy hasmany exclusions rangingfrom pollution liability tofaulty workmanship.It is advisable to have anattorney review contracts onyour behalf. In addition, priorto signing any contract, haveyour insurance representativereview the insurance specifications,preferably in conjunctionwith your attorney. He orshe can advise what requirementsmay be impossible ordifficult to insure. It is importantto know the costs beforebidding on the contract andit’s possible that truly onerousinsurance requirements can bedeleted from the contract.Often contracts will requireyour insurance to be “primaryand noncontributory.” The “ISOstandard” CGL policy does saythat it is primary with regardto the certificate holder’s generalliability policy if the certificateholder is an additional insured on your policy.So, the first order of business is to make sure that theappropriate additional insured endorsement is attached toyour CGL policy.However, the undefined term “noncontributory” ismeaningless in isolation. The term may just be used toreemphasize that your insurance is primary and the additionalinsured’s is excess, or the intended meaning may bethat a waiver of subrogation endorsement is desired. Itmay also mean that the certificate holder’s CGL policy willnot contribute in any way to a loss even if that policyotherwise covers it.This could mean having to pay out of pocket for anyclaim that exceeds the limit of your CGL policy —without contribution from the certificate holder’s CGLpolicy. It is in your best interest to attempt to clarify and,if necessary, strike the “noncontributory” wording fromthe contract. If that’s impossible, consider increasingyour own policy limits or be prepared to assume apotentially large uninsured loss.The Illegal RequestsCertain construction contracts require that thecertificate holder be given additional insured statusunder a specific endorsement number and edition date.It is not uncommon for a contract to request an ISOstandard policy form such as the CG 20 10 11 85 additionalinsured endorsement.Note that “11 85” refers to the November 1985 editionof this form. These forms typically must be filed withstate insurance departments before they can be used.Insurance agentsare sometimes asked toprovide a certificate ofinsurance that can’tcomply with a contractthat has already beensigned. In fact, thejob may already becompleted and thecertificate is needed inorder to get paid. ”Since later editions may havesuperseded earlier editions, itcould be impossible to providea form that is 20-plus years oldand has been withdrawn byinsurance department filing.Your insurance agent canoften provide a later editionform with comparable coverage.In some cases, twoendorsements might be necessaryto replace a singleolder form, one providingongoing operations coverageand the other completedoperations coverage.The latter form, however,might not be available or onlyavailable at significant cost.If your insurance representativeis an independent agent,he or she will represent morethan one insurance company,making it more likely thatyour insurance can be offeredto another insurer who is betterable to meet your needs.In any event, you will want to price this coverage beforesubmitting your bid since completed operations insurance,if available, can be substantial in price.Also, contracts frequently mandate that coverage beextended to the additional insured’s sole negligence.In some states, sole negligence cannot legally be transferredto another party. Increasingly, even whereinsurance transfer is permitted, insurers are usingadditional insured endorsements that prohibit assumingthe additional insured’s sole negligence. The current“ISO standard” endorsements do just that.If you are in a state that has anti-indemnity statutes orcase law, then this should not be an issue. Otherwise,you will want your insurance agent to determine if theinsurer is still willing to assume sole negligence under anadditional insured endorsement. If not, the contract willneed to be modified or compliance will be impossible.The Inappropriate RequestsContracts often specify that the certificate of insuranceprovide for a notice of cancellation to the certificateholder. The problem is that all “ISO standard”additional insured endorsements make no provisionfor cancellation notice to an additional insured.Perhaps acknowledging this, some contracts settle forthe more hopeful “endeavor to” provide notice of cancellationprovision.Keep in mind that, unless the additional insuredendorsement provides for cancellation notice, the insureris usually under no contractual obligation to providesuch notice. Even if an attempt is voluntarily made, mis-September 2007 | Utility Contractor 29

takes happen. In somecases, due to regulatorydecree by the state departmentof insurance (NewYork is an example), a certificateof insurance cannotmake a promise of notificationunless notice of cancellationis provided for in thepolicy or endorsement.Some organizations andgovernment entities use theirown certificates of insurancein lieu of the more standardizedACORD 25 —Certificate of LiabilityInsurance form. These maycreate problems for insuranceagents because some stateshave laws or regulations prohibitingthe use of such formsunless approved by the statedepartment of insurance.These forms may include wording implying coveragesor rights that don’t actually exist under the policy, againviolating the law in many states, and may lack disclaimersdesigned to protect you and the issuer. These certificatesmay sometimes be almost exact duplicates of the“ACORD standard” form(s), creating copyright violationpossibilities.Be wary of these non-ACORD certificates of insurance.Rely on your independent insurance agent for guidanceon how to handle these forms. In many cases, they can beissued, but require referral to the insurance company,which can cause delays. Again, it is important to involveyour insurance representative in the process as soon aspossible.30 Utility Contractor | September 2007It is not uncommon for your insurance representative to be unable to meet everyrequirement of the contract you're being asked to sign.And the Impractical RequestsConstruction contracts may specify that certain coverages(e.g., completed operations) be provided or thatcertain exclusions (e.g., pollution liability) be removed.Because of the proliferation of defective workmanshipclaims in the construction industry, completed operationscoverage may be difficult to procure at a reasonablecost. Most insurers are unwilling to remove certainexclusions such as pollution liability and the cost to purchasethe coverage separately may be prohibitive.Be sure to give your insurance representative ampletime to search for insurers willing and able to provide thecoverages required by your construction contracts. If coveragesare available, the premium costs need to be includedin your contract bid. If coverages are not available, youmay be able to negotiate such requirements from the contractor pursue another source of coverage.It is not uncommon for your insurance representativeto be unable to meet every requirement of the contractyou’re being asked to sign, from the standpoint of coverages,policy rights or completion of a certificate ofinsurance. The other party to the contract may theninform you that they can provide a list of agents whoclaim they can comply with the contractualrequirements in full.While it’s possible that the person requesting the certificateis aware of agents who are better able to comply withtheir requests, be cognizant that fraud and misrepresentationwith regard to certificates is not unheard of. If you arerequiring certificates from subcontractors, be aware thatbogus certificates do exist.While it is rare, there are unfortunately some insuranceagents who will issue certificates that do not accuratelyreflect coverages and policy terms just to allow acontractor to get a job and keep his or her business.Since certificates are rarely legally enforceable againstinsurers or agents, you may be incurring significantliability if a certificate is issued that does not accuratelyreflect contract terms. It is important to do business withinsurance professionals you trust implicitly and that youverify the accuracy of the certificate.The single best thing you can do in dealing withcertificate of insurance requirements is to involveyour independent insurance agent before committingyourself to something that cannot be accomplished.He or she can counsel you on how to best meet yourinsurance requirements and, if not possible insome instances, provide an explanation as to whysomething is difficult or impossible, often to the satisfactionof the requestor.Bill Wilson, CPCU, ARM, AIM, AAM, is associate vice president foreducation and research for the Independent InsuranceAgents & Brokers of America (IIABA), the oldest and largestnational associations of independent insurance agents and brokers,representing a network of more than 300,000 agents, brokers andtheir employees.

By Andy BuchanErgonomics has been a hot topic in the workingworld since becoming a corporate buzzword inthe 1990s. The popular ergonomics movement,targeted mostly toward the office employee,spawned a number of new products designed to minimizeoperator fatigue and discomfort, including special keyboards,wrist rests and chairs. Not getting nearly as muchpress, however, was ergonomics for manual workers —particularly in construction.Unfortunately, this is still the case — which perhapsaccounts for the fact that contractors and municipalitiesare still largely unaware of the ergonomic benefitsof a range of products for manhole operators,including ductile iron access covers and coverswith specialized hinge designs. With onsite safetybecoming more and more of a priority for contractorsand municipalities ill able to afford worker’s compensationcosts and large insurance premiums, the topicis as important as ever.The real source of the issue is the fact that most manholecovers are made from traditional cast, or “gray,” iron, alongwith the posture the weight forces operators use. Coversmade from this material can weigh anywhere from 70 to300 lbs, which puts operators at risk for back injuries.A 2003 report from the Liberty Mutual Research Institutefor Safety found that “opening manhole covers was thebiggest cause of accidents in the utility industry.”While many of those injured developed a lower backdisorder (LBD) due to the overexertion of lifting thesecovers, some also suffered broken feet and broken oramputated fingers and toes, along with injuries from slipsand falls that occurred during the lifting process. A majorpart of the problem lies with the lack of industry attentionand the reluctance of municipalities to embracewhatever new ideas come their way.The subject has received relatively little attention in theindustry, and innovations have been largely ignored.Fortunately, a handful of suppliers (includingCertainTeed PAM, Neenah Foundry Co. and East JordanIron Works) have pioneered the use of ductile iron formanhole covers in the United States and created newdesigns to help eliminate user injuries.32 Utility Contractor | September 2007

Bandages, Not SolutionsThe tools that operators use to raise the covers do littleif anything to ease the physical strain, and, in somecases, can increase it. One of the most common toolsused to lift a cover is the J-Hook, which can be eitherlong or short. Another common tool is a fulcrum bar,which is a steel tube with a bar on one end and ahandle at the other.However, evidence from ergonomics studies indicatesthat neither of these is ideal. An in-depth study titled“Exposure Estimate for Utility Workers Performing aManhole Cover Removal Maneuver,” published in theProceedings of the International ErgonomicsAssociation XVth Triennial Congress, showed that “thepeak handle force” of the J-Hook was “approximately 80percent of the manhole cover weight,” saving the operatorlittle in exertion. And while the fulcrum bar toolhad a peak handle force of 45 to 51 percent, whichmight suggest that it is safer to use than the J-Hook,users rated it “more difficult to use,” canceling out anypotential benefits the lower rate of force offered.The J-Hook seems to be especially harmful. In additionto the compressive back force caused by this tool,operators must also bend, lift and twist in quick successionwhen using it, putting extreme pressure on theirspines and posing much risk for serious, sometimes permanent,injuries.Ergonomic advisers would indicate that “bending,lifting and twisting’ is not a safe method of lifting anythinglet alone a heavy metal cover. In light of theseknown hazards, manufacturers are beginning to introducenew “ergonomic products to municipalities for useby their utility operators.One such product is a magnetic manhole cover lifter.Super strength magnets are placed on the hook of a dolly(or other devices, such as cranes, hoists or backhoes).The operator can then use the lift to remove or replacethe cover. The idea behind the product is that the magnetis powerful enough to lift the cover with reduced risk ofinjury for the operator.But is this really the case? In the “Exposure Estimate”study, the magnetic lift tool was studied along with theJ-Hook and the fulcrum. Surprisingly, the use of themagnetic lift tool required a level of compressive backforce similar to that of the J-Hook, indicating that thesedevices do not remove the ergonomic risks to operators.Due to the need for a prone position with a relativelyhigh level of force on the lower back (for significantlylonger periods than a standard lift), this solution maynot be suitable either. Even if they worked as promised,these tools do not address the larger issue, which is thatmanhole covers are too heavy to be lifted by operatorswithout risk of injury.The study concludes that “lifting equipment can behelpful, but that no lifting equipment suits every situation.”The alternative suggested by the study? Using avariety of tools. But as even the study pointed out, thisalternative “requires significant cash investment, training“A 2003 reportfrom the LibertyMutual ResearchInstitute for Safetyfound that openingmanhole covers wasthe biggest cause ofaccident in theutility industry. ”for each item, selection criteria for the operator and someform of control to ensure that the operator uses the (correct)equipment.” When you think about it, this is reallyno alternative at all.Ergonomic Alternatives to Cast IronThe good news is that this increased awareness ofsafety has prompted U.S. companies serving the municipalcastings industry to come up with more ergonomicalternatives. Among these alternatives are manholecovers made from ductile iron. Covers made fromductile iron weigh about half that of a cast iron cover,eliminating risk right off the bat simply by being lighterin weight. Design features such as hinges help reducethe chance for injury, first by reducing the time spent onthe jobsite, which automatically reduces risk.What Is Ductile Iron?While cast iron is the traditional material used formanufacturing manhole covers and gratings, ductileiron is an engineered material much lighter andstronger than cast iron. This construction givesthe material greater mechanical strength throughstrength-to-weight ratio, and impact resistance due toits inherent elasticity.These characteristics allow for the production of manholecovers that are stronger and more durable than castiron. Because of the material benefits of ductile iron,product designers are able to provide significantergonomic and functional characteristics not found inother materials and traditional products that have beenavailable for many years.One such manufacturer is CertainTeed PAM, which distributesductile iron manhole covers to the U.S. market.Among the most notable features of CertainTeed PAM cast-September 2007 | Utility Contractor 33

ing offerings PAMREX and REXUS is the hinged design thatmakes the lifting weight of the cover approximately 20 lbs— a vast improvement over the 250 lbs of a cast iron cover.The ductile iron material features a hinged design thataccomplishes many things in terms of ergonomics. Notonly is the manhole cover lighter because of the materialfrom which it is made, but also because it forces operatorsto change their posture when lifting. When using traditionaltools such as J-Hooks, operators use (pull) theirlower backs with quite a bit of exertion, which causesstrain and puts them at risk of injury.With the hinged design, operators can use a pickaxe ora pry bar to open the covers. The use of these tools forcesthem to keep their spine in a vertical position, and topush with their shoulders and legs. It also allows them tobe much more aware of their surroundings, reducing therisk of injury by any unforeseen hazards. And becauseoperators perform the lifting on the opposite side of thechamber opening, the danger of an injury through theaccidental closure of the cover is also greatly reduced.Breaking from TraditionPartially hampering manufacturers of ductile ironaccess covers is tradition; many municipalities are accustomedto traditional cast-iron covers, and their excessiveweight leads many to assume that they provide morestrength than other materials. But it’s just not the case.Ductile iron covers have four times the load strength oftypical cast iron covers and are capable of withstandingan average load of 120,000 lbs. They are excellent atabsorbing traffic shock, and have been proven for longtermdurability in the most arduous of traffic situation.”There’s also a matter of cost. Municipalities, oftenoperating on small budgets, cannot afford to replace allof their existing castironcovers, and do soonly when necessary,such as when coversare stolen (often fortheir material scrapvalue) or whenharmed by harsh trafficor weather conditions.There’s a hiddencost, however, andwe’re not just talkingabout the harm andsuffering that comesto operators whoexperience injuries.The expense of lawsuits,long-term disabilitypayments andworker’s compensation,and lower productivitycan quicklydeplete the budgets ofthese municipalities,which often don’t have much from the start.In Europe, the majority of manhole covers are madefrom ductile iron and have been for years. PAM itself hasinstalled more than six million covers around the world,and countless more have been supplied by competingcompanies. The lack of widespread use in the UnitedStates is a never-ending source of frustration for ductileironcover manufacturers, because, safety concerns aside,ductile iron covers perform better. Exacerbating this isthe fact that ductile iron has been the material of choicefor other water and sewer products for more than 20years. The knowledge of the superior performance anddesign benefits has not, for some reason, translated intowidespread use by U.S. manhole cover manufacturers.Fortunately, the word is definitely spreading, albeit tooslowly. Many large municipalities are seeing the benefits,especially in progressive cities and states, and other suppliersare also now introducing new designs to meet thenew needs of end users. Among the local suppliers, EastJordan Iron Works now has hinged units available,although they are marketed only for off-road situations.Nonetheless, they address the safety and ergonomic issuesbeing faced by operators.Neenah also recently introduced a new design thatrecognizes the need for hinges to change operator posture.However, they continue to manufacture theirmanholes from cast iron, thereby missing the benefitsof the weight reduction and increased strength anddurability that ductile iron offers. Ductile iron hingedcastings are the way forward and with multiple suppliersnow offering new technologies, unnecessaryinjuries can be avoided.Many municipalities are accustomed to traditional cast-iron covers, and their excessive weightleads many to assume — falsely — that they provide more strength than other materials.Andy Buchan is business development manager for CertainTeed PAM.34 Utility Contractor | September 2007

Making the RightCollection CallsHow to Cash in on Disputed InvoicesBy Jackie ComptonMany times contractors are faced with a clientwho refuses to pay invoices because theyhave some sort of complaint or disputeabout how a job was performed. When thecomplaint is legitimate, the client will call you when theproblem occurs. In those cases, it’s usually resolved rathereasily. Simple things like good customer service and fixingthe problem will reassure the client that the problemis important to you and results in a happy client.However, when you don’t hear about the dispute untilthe client is overdue (and you’re calling for your payment),then it might be time to be concerned. That’s because theclient could believe that this “dispute” is a good way out ofpaying their invoices. In many cases today, these complaintsor disputes are unfounded and when addressed tocorrect the unhappy client, the results are never to theirsatisfaction. The only thing that will please this type ofclient is to forgive the bill in its entirety and to jumpthrough the fiery hoops until you have exhausted all ofyour resources and have done a job at a loss just to keepthe client. But forgiving the bill is clearly not the answer. Itwill just result in more ridiculous disputes and a pile ofunpaid invoices on future jobs.As a contractor, you know that when there are complaints,they have to be addressed immediately. If leftunanswered, you may be kicked off the project andanother contractor is called in to perform minor finishingtouches to complete your job. This happens so frequentlythat almost every contractor has been either kicked offa project or threatened to be kicked off a project forunjustified reasons.Why is this so prevalent in the construction industry?Because it’s a method that clients/owners use to avoidpaying balances on contracts and keeping the retainage.36 Utility Contractor | September 2007

When this occurs it leaves a lot of questions.The contractor who won the job is upset because he orshe is afraid of losing a client, the bill remains unpaidand there seems to be no solution in sight. What can bedone to make the client happy? In some cases, the clientis legitimate and when they voice their complaint thecontractor addresses it and the client is happy again. Butthose are not the clients we’re talking about — it’s theones who, no matter what you do, they are are still nothappy. The reason is because they do not want their disputeresolved. If it is resolved then they have to pay theirbill. It is a lot easier to kick you off the project and bringin another contractor to complete the job at a fraction ofthe original bid.Everyday companies (both large and small) claim thatthe reason they will not pay the contractor is becausethey were not happy with the work performed, thechange orders were not done, the job was not completedin time, etc. The reality is, they might be using thedispute as a reason to not pay what they owe. Don’t allowthese customers to stiff you with unpaid invoices andridiculous, meaningless disputes.When dealing with unhappy clients, the best approachis to isolate the dispute and make the client be specific.After you have done this, the majority of the time therewill still be a balance owed if you issued a credit for theirdispute. Of course, not all disputes are fraud. But youneed to determine if you’re dealing with a legitimate disputeor just an attempt to not pay a debt.Beware of Red FlagsThere are signs that the client or project manager willdisplay that should be recognized as red flags that theycould be a problem when it comes time to pay up.Usually, the project manager will become more difficult toreach when you need them for questions. Many timesthey will be nonchalant when asking about changes orproblems that you have run into, giving you some falsesense that everything will be okay and that your problemis not big deal.Verbally authorizing changes is another indication thatyou are headed for trouble. “No problem. Do what youneed to do to get the job done.” Don’t do it. All changeson a project should be in writing. Verbal orders evenwhen witnessed, are not a legal binding contract norshould it substitute for a written change order. The bestway to help eliminate potential disputes is to make surethat all changes are in writing and signed by the client orproject manager.Even when you have done everything in writing,there will still be disputes. If after you review the disputeand determine that there is no validity to the dispute,this is where you need to be on your toes.Calculate how much would be owed outside of the dispute.Once you have done this, tell the client thataccording to your calculations after the disputedinvoices there will be a balance of X dollars owed.Ask that they pay their undisputed portion before youAfter a job is completed, your wallet shouldn’t be empty forlong. Don’t allow customers to stiff you with unpaid invoices.consider issuing a credit for any dispute or investing incorrecting the matter.The best way to phrase that would be “If I understandyou correctly, and I think that I do, you’re claiming that(reiterate the complaint) is the concern. Okay, here’s whatI am willing to do. I need you to pay the balance of (whateverthat is outside of the complaint) and once that isreceived, we will do everything in our power to take careof this for you and we can go from there.” What this doesis provide customer service while determining if you aredealing with someone who honestly wants to pay, but feelslike there is a problem that needs to be corrected.Document & Keep a DiaryIn order to protect yourself, you should always keep adiary on each project. What may seem like a benign problemnow could later prove to be a serious problem. If youare taking notes daily of what progress has been made onthe job and what problems occurred, who you addressedthe problem with and the outcome, when a dispute isvoiced you can refer to your project diary and refreshyour memory and theirs. Documentation is essentialwhen late disputes rear their ugly heads.When you’re able to recite what happened on the jobthat day and every day, the client will be less likely to pursuepetty disputes. It clearly will be difficult for them toargue with you when you have a written diary on the project.Some important notes are: what was being done thatday, who was on the job from your company, who was onthe job from the client’s company, comments made by theclient, problems that your employees mentioned, equipmentproblems, job delays and the weather. There isnothing that is too insignificant to mention in the projectSeptember 2007 | Utility Contractor 37

diary. When a problem or dispute does come up, youhave a complete record that more than likely your clientdoes not have.It is the debtor’s responsibility to prove you were atfault and to pay what they believe is rightfully owed. Inour opinion, they owe the entire balance. If there was alegitimate dispute, the client would have called theminute they were unhappy and complained then, notwhen you are calling them looking for a check.This is what is referred to as a late dispute in an effort toavoid debt. You can determine the validity of these types ofdisputes much sooner when addressing the matter head on.Ask the hard questions.“I am curious,why didn’tyou call me themoment you wereunhappy so that Icould help you?”“What exactly areyou unhappywith?” “Why areyou holding mycheck when youalready haveretainage that isbeing held to coversituations likethis?” By askingthese questions,you are forcing theclient to give youdirect answers. It is harder to not pay you when they have nogood reason for not addressing their dispute with you in atimely fashion.Mitigate Your DamagesRemember that a disputed invoice can be money lostunless addressed properly. There are cases where therewill be legitimate disputes. It is the responsibility of thecompany that is disputing the debt to validate the disputeand to pay its undisputed portion. When faced with situationssuch as these, the dispute should be isolated andthe debtor should be informed of their responsibility tomitigate the debt and pay the undisputed portion.Once that is done, the disputed portion can beaddressed. This can be done from your office with thesame results. The construction industry has failsafes inplace to protect clients from loss due to poor work andthat is the retainage. The client has 90 days to holdyour money in the event that they do have a problem.Isolate the dispute, address their concerns and demandpayment. Don’t allow your clients to use small disputesas a reason for not paying what you are rightfully owed.A small problem is not a reason for not paying you forthe job performed.In situations such as this, where the disputed amountis not enough to void what the customer owes, most collectionfirms will insist that the debtor pay the undisputedportion. The majority of the time, the debtor willcomply — but only if the client agrees to settle for theamount they believe is owed. This is called forcing a settlement.The debtor is informed that they cannot forcethe client to accept what they agree is owed as a legalsettlement. Also, that it is their responsibility to mitigatetheir damages before litigation. All that means is thatthey should pay what they believe is owed, and litigationwill only take place if the client wishes to pursuethe disputed portion.When the debtor says, “Fine, just take me to court and Iwill pay then,” thedebtor is informedthat the collectionagency is willing,but they mustunderstand thatthe courts do nottake unnecessarylawsuits lightly.Since the mattercould have beenresolved outside ofcourt — had thedebtor been willingto pay whatthey believed theyowed — the clientis forced to file suitto recover theirmoney and it is awaste of the court’s time. More often than not, clients willwin simply because the debtor made no attempt to mitigatethe damages by paying what was rightfully owed.Disputes are common when dealing with utilitycompanies. They have strict protocol and guidelinesestablished when dealing with vendors. Utility companiesalso can be very lucrative. The contracts are usuallylarge and if you do good work, chances are they willhire you again in the future.Most disputes exist because of a project manager. It ispeople who create disputes, not companies. People areemotional and are motivated by emotion. It is importantto understand the project managers and what they arelooking for with regard to results to protect yourself frompotential disputes down the line.Spend time understanding them and what they are lookingfor in a contractor. Make sure changes are in writing.Keep a diary on each project. And demand payment whenyou are due. When your employee is not 100 percent onthe job that day, you don’t adjust his wages because of itand pay him less than he is entitled to. The same holds truefor your company. You work hard and have earned everydime you have billed, don’t accept less.Clients (owners) have 90 days to hold a contractor’s payment in the event that theyhave a problem. Otherwise, they should be writing you a check — paid in full.Jackie Compton is director of marketing for Clovis & Roche Inc., acommercial collection firm that provides financial services to alarge spectrum of businesses.38 Utility Contractor | September 2007

Dewatering Plan Successful for Palm Beach Mall RenovationBy Terry AylwardWhen the Palm Beach, Fla., area was growinginto the north end of the county, it becameapparent that a new shopping venue wasrequired. After all, these residents wouldn’twant to travel all the way to the Island of Palm Beach toshop at Sak’s Fifth Avenue or Nordstrom.Pepper-Southern General Contractors of Atlanta washired by the owner (Forbes-Cohen Florida Properties) in1988 to construct the new project, calling in GriffinDewatering to provide the proper methods and materialsto be utilized when dewatering the proposed structure’sfootings.The proposed footings were designed to support bothfloor slabs and structural columns, as well as the newglass enclosed central elevator and adjacent water featuresand fountains. The work was successfully concludedin 1999 and the mall opened with great success.Griffin was hired to provide a workable dewatering plan to facilitate the“facelift” of a swanky mall in Palm Beach — all while maintaining a lowprofile to accommodate everyday mall business.40 Utility Contractor | September 2007But now 19 years later, some of the shine is gone, the tilegrout is stained, the elevator is old and it’s time to givethe mall a facelift.Flash forward to 2007, when the Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.,office of Whiting-Turner General Contractors hiredGriffin Dewatering of South Florida to provide a workabledewatering plan to facilitate the demolition of old,construction of new and maintain a “low profile” toaccommodate everyday mall business. Griffin commencedits portion of the project in April.The ProjectGriffin’s contract for services included dewatering ofexcavated areas where the new Grande Fountain,its control vault and the new elevator are to beconstructed. The problems that Griffin had to solvewere essentially three-fold. First it had to provide anappropriate dewatering plan to facilitateexcavation and placement ofunderground plumbing lines, concretestructures and fountain/pool shell.In addition, the dewatering processhad to be environmentally compatibleso as not to disturb daily business of theneighboring stores and eateries. As partof its dewatering plan, it also had to facechallenges involving limited availabilityof a disposal location for dewateringeffluent, in addition to working only atnight and after hours.The solution was to first install aperimeter wellpoint/wick point systemwith one 12 in. x 15 ft long (or approximately7 ft below excavation bottoms)screened and wicked wellpoints at 48 in.+/- centers/horizontally. This procedureminimized or eliminated soil movementfrom adjacent existing footings and

slabs by reducing hydrostatic groundwater pressureto a point well below the excavated areas.The dewatering pump was electrically poweredand placed in an enclosed box, thus noise levelwas well below any audible level in the work area.A typical wellpoint pump’s vacuum system ismineral oil lubricated and sealed thereby emittinghydrocarbon vapor during the cooling and sealingprocess.In this case, Griffin South Florida called uponGriffin Southwest & Griffin Pump & Equipmentfor an appropriate size of electrically powered wellpointpump with a water cooled/sealed vacuumpump. It just so happened that a newly refurbishedGriffin model 4NCRE with a Travini vacuum pumpwas available and suited this project perfectly.The size was right to be placed inside the mall(transported through service corridors), themotor size worked with the available three phase powerand the general contractor installed a flexible steelexhaust line to the adjacent ceiling fans to vent any watervapor or groundwater odor.For disposal of dewatering effluent, a floor drain wasavailable but only in 3-in. ID. This constituted a problemas the anticipated dewatering effluent yield was on theorder of 500 gpm. Griffin installed a 300-ft long by 6-in.ID discharge line under the existing floor slab (tile wascut and replaced), through a service corridor and into anoutside service area where a 2,500-gal weir-type settlingChallenges included a limited locations for disposal of dewateringeffluent, in addition to working only at night and after hours.tank aerated the groundwater prior to its disposal into theon site drainage system.The night work was the easy part, consisting on a shiftthat started at 9:30 p.m. and concluded at 6 a.m. The dischargeline is to remain in place for future use by the ownerwhen draining or servicing the new water features. In theend, the project has been considered a hugely successfuland Whiting-Turner expects work to be completed bySeptember.Terry Aylward is marketing manager for Griffin Dewatering, basedin Houston.42 Utility Contractor | September 2007

NUCA MEMBER PROFILENevada Pipeline &Grading Corp. dbaDimick Development Co.Risk & RewardA Las Vegas Contractor Who Followed aDream and Never Looked BackBy Nick ZubkoIn many of the stories you hear about how a contractorgot started, there’s an element of luck, goodfortune, or simply being in the right place at theright time. But there are plenty of other examples,where raw determination and the willingness to do whatothers won’t have turned dreams into reality.Like many in the business today, Chuck Dimick grewup around construction. Early proclivities for Tonkatrucks, toy dozers, scrapers and steam shovels, combinedwith a father who worked in the water well industry,helped to create a childhood dream that had himconvinced he knew what he wanted to do for the rest ofhis life. From the time he was eight years old until hegraduated high school, he worked weekends runningequipment for his father.After high school, Dimick tried studying businessadministration at college, but his boyhood ambitionssoon got the best of him. He dropped out and tried tostart a business with a few partners, but eventuallyventured off on his own in 1985. Without any backingand only $1,500 to his name, Dimick started his owncompany, Nevada Pipeline & Grading Corp., dbaDimick Development Co.“Nothing really made it seem like a good idea, but Iwas just too headstrong and goal-oriented not to pushforward and create a company that performed the workI enjoyed doing — working with the earth,” saysDimick. ”I started doing a few small jobs on my own,doing only utilities, but as soon as I could afford theequipment we added earthmoving, grading, gravel pits,underground boring and rock trenching. We now do alltypes of projects, including utilities, mostly focused onwater, sewer and storm drains.”Night & DayThings were tough for Dimick in the beginning.To complete any work he could find, he would rent asingle backhoe and drive it from job to job with everythinghe needed in the front bucket. He performedthe excavations for each job in less than the time ofthe rental (24 hours), so he could return the backhoeby the following morning.98 Utility Contractor | September 2007Dimick started the company as a one-man show backin 1985, but now he has an average of 30 to 40 crewmembers to shoulder some of the work.“After about a day of sleep, I would install the pipe intothe ground on each job,” Dimick says. “The next day camethe inspections, and then I would rent the backhoe again,along with a Wacker and backfill everything in the next 24hours. After nine months, I had saved up enough cash tohire my first employee — who is still here today.”Once he had some help, Dimick continued to findwork by word of mouth. By the late 1980s and early ’90s,Nevada Pipeline grew from a one- to three-person operationto between 50 and 60 employees. Sales went from$40,000 in the first year to nearly $6 million over thenext five years. It has been a steady building process eversince. Dimick says the company’s growth was simple:steady workloads and a lot of hard work by many peopleevery day for 22 years.“We have had good projects, lots of work, and a hardworking well qualified labor force. We have also workedfor a series of wonderful general contractors year-in andyear-out,” recalls Dimick. “Those working relationshipsput us on the map, not any one project. There have beenmany large visible projects, but the real story is the honorablecontractors with whom I have been able to work.“It’s also one of the most rewarding parts of my business,he adds. “We never advertised or chased work. Even backthen, I always liked to have clients referred to me, as well

NUCA MEMBER PROFILEOnce he had the equipment, Dimick addedearthmoving, grading, gravel pits, underground boringand rock trenching to the company’s operation.as I like to have me referred to them. I wanted to knowthey were the type of client for whom I wanted to work.”Those selective practices continue to this day, as Dimickremains careful who the company bids to. He pays closeattention to those owners that have trouble with a contractoror entity, and watches what type of work they doand where the money is coming from, as well as whocontrols the money.As a result, Nevada Pipeline & Grading has grownboth in sales and employee count over the last 10 to 15years. At one point, the company swelled to as many as75 to 85 employees, but for the highest profitability, theoptimum company size has settled around 30 to 40employees as it has become increasingly difficult to findthe proper employees to train. According to Dimick,this has been a struggle over the last few years, as hetries to maintain a workforce that has the ability to performthe quality work he has always provided.“I learned early in life to give people what they pay forand a little bit more,” says Dimick. “This has built asteady client list and helped to ensure we get the chanceto pick who we work for as much as they pick us to dotheir work. When we work for a general contractor, it isimportant to me they are not trying to take advantage ofan owner. That’s just not for me. I want to look peoplein the eye and know that each of us know we are in it fora profit, but that we’ll do it fairly and honestly.”Reading All About ItThe first time Dimick even heard of NUCA was whenhe received a copy of Utility Contractor back in 2001.Surprised to learn there was an association for his industry,he soon became aware of an upcoming meeting tostart a NUCA chapter in Las Vegas. Dimick was eventuallydesignated (no one else would do it) as the chapter’sfirst president, later serving as committee chairman. Notlong after he started attending national meetings, includinghis first Washington Summit later that same year.“I wanted to help strengthen our national and localpresence to enable our industry to obtain favorable lawsand regulations that will allow us to stay in business andremain profitable,” says Dimick. “After that first trip to[Washington] D.C., I was hooked. If you never come tothose meetings, you don’t understand what a tremendousbenefit NUCA provides as part of our nationaldues. There is a direct pipeline from our association tothe members of Congress and their staffs, as well as thestaffs of some of the regulating government agencies thatcan affect our bottom lines.”Over the last few years, Dimick’s involvement inNUCA has continued to grow. He has taken active roleson committees addressing education and trainingissues, citing the industry’s shrinking labor pool as oneof its biggest challenges today. According to Dimick, thesafety DVDs, videos, books and manuals provided andproduced by NUCA’s safety committee is a direct benefitof belonging to the association. But he says participationin the committees is where you can have a direct impactand benefit on the future of your own company.Dimick's involvement in NUCA has continued to grow,having taken active roles on committees addressingeducation and training issues“It is very rewarding as a contractor to spend timewith other members of our industry listening,expounding, learning and teaching and together arrivingat a few good ideas that propel our industry forward,”Dimick says. “Both nationally and locally, thecommittees are where the finest work is done. They arethe backbone that protects our livelihood and makeschanges that can solidify our ability to have a profitablebottom line. It’s also where the greatest gratificationand satisfaction is obtained. An individual or companycan present ideas they believe are critical to our industryand get help in moving that idea into real action andstrive to make changes that will benefit them and theindustry as a whole.”Nick Zubko is associate editor of Utility Contractor.September 2007 | Utility Contractor 99National Utility Contractors Association

INSIDE WASHINGTONSenators Pitch New SRF Funding SourceBy Eben WymanAs NUCA and fellow members of the CleanWater Council (CWC) continue to leadefforts on Capitol Hill to increase cleanwater funding and reauthorize theEnvironmental Protection Agency’s State RevolvingFund programs, it is becoming increasingly clear that inthe current political climate “outside-the-box” thinkingis necessary. That is why NUCA and the CWC are currentlyworking with lawmakers and other organizationsto identify new and innovative ways of financing waterand wastewater infrastructure projects.Several have emerged — the establishment of a waterinfrastructure trust fund, the injection of more privatesector money into the market and the removal of“arbitrage” provisions currently required by theInternal Revenue Service (IRS). The latter proposal,which is gaining traction in Congress, wouldallow states to retain earnings resulting from bondleveraging practices, which they could then invest inthe nation’s deteriorating water and wastewaterinfrastructure.Arbitrage Payments and Impacts onBond LeveragingUnder the current system, Congress appropriatesfederal funding to the Clean Water and Safe DrinkingWater SRF programs, which in turn provide low-costfinancing in the form of loans to communities for the construction,repair and rehabilitation of drinking water systemsand wastewater collection and treatment facilities.States can directly loan SRF funds to communities forwater infrastructure projects or they can “leverage” SRFfunds to expand investments. Leveraging is basically astate’s means of using the federal capitalization grant, inaddition to state matching share (currently 20 percent),as collateral to borrow in the public bond market,thereby allowing the state to increase the funds availablefor more local projects.States may use SRF dollars as security or a revenuesource for the payment of principal and interest onrevenue bonds, but they must deposit the bond proceedsback into the SRF. States that take advantage ofleveraging opportunities are allowed to issue taxexemptbonds to increase their SRF investment, butthey are subject to a complex set of arbitrage restrictionsdefined in the federal tax code. Without goinginto the details, the bottom line is that current tax lawrequires a state to rebate arbitrage earnings to the U.S.Treasury, rather than allow a state to reinvest thefunds in future water infrastructure projects. This isessentially nothing more than a tax levied on statesthat opt to get more bang for their federal buck byleveraging their SRF earnings.“States that takeadvantage of leveragingopportunities are allowedto issue tax-exemptbonds to increase theirSRF investment, butthey are subject to acomplex set of arbitragerestrictions definedin the federal tax code.”100 Utility Contractor | September 2007

INSIDE WASHINGTONCommon Sense Senators Step UpIn an effort to address this problem, Senators JackReed (D-R.I.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) recentlyintroduced legislation — The Clean and Safe DrinkingWater Arbitrage Relief Act (S 1910) — that wouldallow states to keep arbitrage earnings from SRF leveragedfunds and invest them in additional infrastructureprojects.“The Clean and Safe Drinking Water ArbitrageRelief Act will help narrow our nation’s water infrastructureneeds gap and provide additional financingfor clean water and safe drinking water projects,” saidSen. Reed as he introduced the bill on Aug. 1.“Increasing our investment in water infrastructureprojects will in turn create jobs, increase privateinvestment, safeguard public health and improve ournation’s water quality.”Longtime champions involved in a host of legislativeefforts to increase funding, Sens. Reed and Snow werejoined by fellow New Englanders Sens. SheldonWhitehouse (D-R.I.), Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), andJohn Kerry (D-Mass.) as original cosponsors of S 1910.Relief Would Bring ImmediateBenefits to StatesThe Council of InfrastructureFinancing Authorities (CIFA), anational group that represents mostof the SRF financing organizations,supports the legislation and estimatesthat lifting arbitrage restrictionscould provide an additional$400 million annually for investmentin water and wastewater projects.The ability of states to leveragethese earnings would potentiallyallow state SRF programs to generatean additional $800 million to $1.2billion in water and wastewaterinfrastructure funding annually.It is important to note that whilepassage of the bill would offerimmediate relief to states in theform of additional resources, itwould not have a correspondingimpact on federal revenue in theshort term. Over time, of course,the federal budget would be marginallyimpacted by the slightreduction in tax receipts from SRFarbitrage rebates. Since in realitythe required rebate is nothing morethan a federal tax on a state’s investmentearnings, the American peopleare not likely to lose a lot of sleep over it, especiallywhen they understand the importance of what theadditional resources will fund.NUCA supports and fully advocates any viablefunding source for America’s failing environmentalinfrastructure. So, while the fight continues onCapitol Hill for increased SRF annual appropriationsand reauthorization of the program at significantlyhigher levels, NUCA is monitoring all the proposals inplay and actively working to advance those perceivedto be in the best interests of our industry.As noted above, these proposals include the searchfor a means of: 1) providing a self-sustaining, dedicatedsource of revenue in the form a water trust fundand 2) removing the cap on private activity bonds toallow for more private investment in the water infrastructuremarket. (See the July 2007 issue of UtilityContractor).The association also supports smaller “fixes” that offerimmediate solutions. The proposal offered in the Reed-Snowe legislation to allow states keep more of their infrastructuremoney is just good government. Don’t we needa little more of that these days?Eben Wyman is NUCA Vice President of Government Relations.September 2007 | Utility Contractor 101National Utility Contractors Association

SAFETY MANAGEMENTThe Ins and Outs of Boring SafelyBy George KennedyPowered augers are routinely used in the constructionand the utility industries to drill holesfor wells, utility poles, light poles and fenceposts. Horizontal auger boring, which is one ofthe oldest methods of trenchless technology, is used byunderground utility contractors to install pipe, conduitand other utilities with minimal disturbance to the surface.It involves boring through the earth from a drive pitto a reception pit. As the rotating auger bores through theearth, the steel casing is simultaneously jacked, whichsupports the soil around it, and spoil is removed back tothe pit as the auger rotates. Pipelines ranging from ½ to84 in. in diameter can be installed using this method.Although auger boring operations have been used fordecades and are considered to be safe when performedproperly, there are potential hazards that must beaddressed before, during and after the process. The purposeof this article is to identify some of the potential hazardsand ways to control them. Start by making sure youhave up-to-date, job-specific bore and safety plans.Safety ConsiderationsSimilar to other underground construction work, thesite should be surveyed for overhead power lines,obstructions, water drainage problems, job access andworking space. All underground utilities should bemarked and located, and exposed by hand digging or vacuumexcavation to identify the elevations. This informationshould be included on the bore plan.Pit LocationThe next step is to locate the bore pit and the receivingpit (if one is required). Consideration should begiven to locating the beginning and end of the bore farenough from existing structures to ensure their safety, aswell as that of the public. Allow enough room to handleand stockpile materials and equipment, store spoil materialand to set up and move equipment. All materials,equipment and spoil must be kept away from the pit sothey can’t fall in. As with any jobsite, housekeeping isimportant. This includes both inside and outside the pit,to prevent slips, trips and falls, struck-by incidents andfire hazards.Cave-in ProtectionThe most obvious hazard that must be controlled afterdigging the pits is cave-in protection. Known in theindustry as protective systems, they include sloping,shoring and trench boxes. They must be provided for allexcavations that are more than 5 ft deep (4 ft in somestates). Soil conditions will play a part in determining atwhat depth a protective system is needed and the type ofsystem to be used.If sloping will be used, the pit will have to be located asufficient distance from structures, roadways and otherobstructions to allow for the slope required by OSHA forthe soil type (A = ¾:1; B = 1:1; C = 1½:1). If a trench boxor shoring is used, the space within the system should belarge enough and offset slightly to one side of the bore lineto accommodate spoil exiting from the machine. If rain orgroundwater is expected to enter the pits, adequate dewateringequipment should be available.The face wall of the pit is particularly prone to caveinbecause of the vibration. Therefore, it is importantensure that the face wall of the pit is properly sheeted.In order to allow for the drill head to pass through thesheeting, a hole large enough to accept the casing is cutin the sheeting.Fall ProtectionOSHA regulations require that pits over 6 ft deep beequipped with a fall protection system, such as a standardguard rail or cable system that is 42 in. high ± 3 in.with a mid-rail and 4-in. toe-board. A removable sectionis acceptable to allow for hoisting materials into the pit,as long as workers stay clear of the opening or are providedwith a motion stopping system (safety belt or harnessand line that will prevent them from falling in) orpersonal fall arrest system (harness and lifeline and5,000-lb anchor point).102 Utility Contractor | September 2007

SAFETY MANAGEMENTAir-monitoringAir-monitoring is the next consideration because a borepit is considered to be a confined space if it is more than4 ft deep. Once the auger boring machine is set up in thetrench and running, ventilation and air monitoringshould be continuous to ensure that oxygen levels remainsafe and that carbon monoxide and other gases do notbuild up in the pit.Arc WeldingArc welding and sometimes cutting with a torch isperformed in the pit; therefore safety procedures mustbe established. For example, all workers in the pitshould have the appropriate eyewear to protect themfrom flash burns and hot flying particles, dirt anddebris. The welding machine must be grounded. Whennot in use, torch hoses should be removed from the pitand the regulators should be off. The boring machineshould be shut down and welding and cutting should bestopped while the boring machine is being refueled.Keep a fire extinguisher close by during welding, cuttingand refueling operations.Material HandlingStart by making sure that the equipment that will beused to lift and handle material is in good condition,starting with the crane or excavator. Daily inspectionsmust be performed. Riggers should be instructed in howto inspect and use slings and the different types of hitchesto use so that a pipe or auger or some other objectdoes not slip out of the sling and fall on workers belowin the pit. Make sure the slings are rated to handle theweight of the load.Casings are generally lifted and lowered into thetrench with the auger inside the casing; therefore itshould be secured inside so that it does not slip out.In addition to lifting and lowering materials, pipes andaugers must be set in place. During these operationsworkers should be aware of the pinpoint hazards whenconnecting the casings or attaching the augers. Tag linesshould be used to control loads and keep them fromswinging out of control. Workers should be directed tostand to one side and out from under loads as they arelifted into and out of the pit.CommunicationsA signal person should be assigned to communicatewith the equipment operator and they should have a setof pre-established hand signals or two-way radio communication.Worker PPE & PositioningObviously, all workers at the jobsite should be wearinghard hats. They should not wear loose clothing or jewelryand long hair should be kept under their hard hatswhen working around equipment.There are different schools of thought regarding whereworkers should position themselves when the boringmachine is in operation. Because of the possibility of themachine flipping over if it locks onto an obstruction, it isimportant to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.The general rule is not to stand next to the machinewhen it is operating. The other rule is that workersshould never step over the drill string while it is rotating.There are times when a worker will have to enter thecasing to check or clear a blockage or obstruction.Entering into the casing is considered to be a confinedspace entry and all confined space entry procedures mustbe followed. They include, but are not limited to, airmonitoring,ventilation, the use of ankle straps and aretrieval line to rescue the entrant if need be.Pit SafetyIn most cases, an exit pit is required at the end of thebore. The safety requirements for a receiving pit are thesame as for the bore pit. Additionally, unless absolutelynecessary, no personnel should be allowed into the receivingpit during the boring operation. The unexpected entryof the boring head into the pit can strike a person andcause a serious or fatal injury.Both pits must be provided with a safe means of enteringand exiting — e.g., a ladder(s) or ramp. Ladders mustbe accessible, secured, extend three feet above the pointof access at the top and be within 25 ft of all workers.Ramps must be set up so that workers can walk up anddown them in an upright position and provided with aprotective system if the excavation is 5 ft deep or more.Rescue PlanEvery jobsite should have a rescue plan so that workersknow what to do in case of an emergency. A proper firstaid kit should be provided and one or more workersshould be trained in first aid. The emergency numbers,location of the jobsite and directions to it if necessaryshould be posted where everyone can see them.Finally, at the end of the shift, the jobsite should besecured to prevent pedestrians, vehicles and especiallychildren from entering into the work area. In addition tothe safety of the workers, the safety of the general publicis every contractor’s responsibility. Have a plan and implementit.For more information about auger boring and othertrenchless methods, consult NUCA’s TrenchlessConstruction Methods and Soil Compatibility Manual(4th Edition), available through the NUCA Store atwww.nuca.com.George Kennedy is NUCA Vice President of Safety.September 2007 | Utility Contractor 103National Utility Contractors Association

EQUIPMENT SPOTLIGHTHitachi Introduces Zaxis 200LC-3 & 225USLC-3 ExcavatorsFirst introduced in 2002, Hitachi’s ZaxisSeries was quickly upgraded with six new“Dash-3” models in 2006, covering the 24-to 85-metric ton range. This summer, thepowerful utility-class ZX200LC-3 andZX225USLC-3 excavators joined their biggerbrothers on the jobsite. These two newmachines can lower fuel costs while increasingproductivity. Their cabs are larger andmore comfortable than their predecessorswhile their hydraulics continue the Hitachireputation for smooth, precise operations.The Zaxis 200LC-3 features a4-cylinder Tier-3-certified Isuzu enginethat has plenty of power for high-productionapplications. Heavier, stronger, fasterand quieter than its 6-cylinder predecessor, theZX200LC-3 is also more fuel efficient. New E, P, andH/P modes can be selected to suit job needs. The Emode can save fuel consumption up to 13 percentcompared to the previous model.In addition to greater horsepower, swing torqueand drawbar pull, the cab on the 200LC-3 is preppedfor auxiliary hydraulics, complemented by such optionsas several arm and shoe sizes, super-long fronts, controlpattern change valve and auxiliary hydraulic accessories.The Zaxis 225US LC-3 is easily positioned to workcloser to buildings and obstructions, reduced-tail-swingWatson’s New Boom-Mounted ExcaDrill EDT-5Watson Inc. introduces the ExcaDrill Model EDT-5,which joins the EDT-7 and EDT-10 in the ExcaDrill productline. The EDT-5 provides versatility and access advantagesfor high-production drilling on restricted site applications.The new EDT-5 mounts to the boom tip of anyexcavators like the ZX 225USLC can handle the samejobs as their standard counterparts (since many of thespecs are the same) but provide less risk of damage to theworking environment as well as to the machine itself.The excavator is a performance match tothe ZX200LC-3 and shares the same engine and improvements.However, the ZX225USLC-3 rear-end swingradius is shorter by 3 ft, 6 in. and has a heavier operatingweight. Thanks to its ultra-short structure, the ZX225USLC-3 is six-percent more stable than the ZX200LC-3.Online: www.hitachiconstruction.comconventional 30 metric ton excavator to provide swing,reach and variable grade drilling capabilities.
