editor's note
Preservation Justification Methods Should Support Asphalt
When editing articles for a pavement maintenance and preservation edition of the
magazine, I find myself deleting swaths of information that could mislead readers
into thinking badly of design engineers. I think we can all agree that at a point in any
pavement’s future, something might happen to hamper or shorten the pavement’s ser-
vice life. That’s why savvy design engineers not only select asphalt mixes to create pave-
ments, they also select common sense preservation methods for sealing the pavements
when necessary or planning a thin overlay in the future or what have you.
What we need to remember is that not every pavement needs a complex system of
pavement maintenance or preservation terms lined up for it starting at Year 19 or Year 20,
after a slightly less complex system of preservation takes place at Year 8 or 10 or so. Take a
look at the article about the newly approved P601 spec from FAA. The Logan Airport mat
that Ron Corun photographed immediately after placement has had a few cracks sealed
in its life so far. The pictures he took during the week of Aug. 18, 2014, on pages 10 through
14 prove that 10 years in Boston’s freeze-thaw cycle hasn’t done any harm to the fuel-re-
sistant asphalt. It would have been wasteful to spend money, time, and natural resources
to sealcoat or chip seal the pavement two years ago when the pavement has continued to
perform beautifully on its own.
Another thing to remember is that selling one product or process does not necessitate
degrading another. For example, if your county needs to seal a roadway that has oxidized
pavement, it’s of no use to the industry if competing emulsion distributors tell the county
engineer how “horrible” the competitor’s product is at sealing and protecting the pave-
ment against the elements. Instead, the competitors should be focused on the benefits of
their individual products and placement methods.
The negative campaigning is what has me concerned about the justification I often
see for various pavement preservation methods. I contend that it’s not good form to tell
the general public that any asphalt pavement is doomed to failure if your specific prod-
uct isn’t placed/sprayed/breathed lovingly onto the mat at a specific time interval or, God
help us all, the road will crumble into dust that’s likely to drift like a cloud of darkness to
the nearest schoolyard and do some sort of damage to everyone there including the re-
cess teacher.
Of course, facts are facts. If a pavement has been constructed with Portland cement
concrete and resembles a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone, we just might have
reason to shout about the falling sky. But when it comes to asphalt products, we’re all in
the same industry. Let’s act like it.
Warm-mix asphalt is an environmentally sound option for asphalt production, but not
to the detriment of hot-mix asphalt. HMA can be produced, placed and maintained over
its full life-cycle for a far smaller carbon footprint than PCC. Period. Now talk about WMA
and the carbon footprint for the asphalt option gets even smaller. This industry is on the
leading edge of LEED qualification for any planning organization, county agency, archi-
tect or anyone who needs to pave with a clear conscience.
When we’re ready to discuss the long service life of asphalt roads, highways, track beds,
state routes, etc., don’t let the desire to “talk up” any particular preservation tool lull
you into the trap of “talking down” the asphalt pavement itself. Spraying a fog seal may
be a great idea for the area of the country in which you live after a mere five or six years
of a pavement’s initial life, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to imply the asphalt is
at fault. Our materials engineers and pavement designers at city, county and state levels
make plans for pavements to last many decades. No one wants a pavement to “die” after 35
years of life; that’s why so many pavements are built using asphalt. Let’s spread the good
words when discussing preservation and maintenance options for those pavements.
Stay Safe,

 The Prestige: Making
an Asphalt Plant Invisible
BoDean Company makes the plant disappear—environmentally

By Jerre Blodgett

22 October 2014

In 2009, BoDean filed a plan
to expand the asphalt plant’s
storage capacity by adding three
new silos. The upgrade allowed
them to store the mixes they
made during the day, which
reduced the noise made at night.
BoDean Company’s goal is to become invisible to the
neighbors. Bill Williams is the general manager of BoDean
Company, Santa Rosa, Calif., and while he doesn’t claim to
be a magician, his efforts to make the firm’s asphalt opera-
tion disappear would impress even master illusionists. He
doesn’t work with conjurers’ tricks; he works with innova-
tions that create a smaller environmental footprint for his
hot mix asphalt (HMA) plant in urban Santa Rosa.
His mantra is “We’re working to become invisible envi-
ronmentally,” and it has definitely roused the support of the
company’s ownership, management and 40+ employees.
He’s also made believers of people within the surrounding
community, local government and environmental groups.
Williams has the full support of owners Belinda (Bo) and
Dean Soiland. When Williams joined the company in 2002,
he brought with him a devout passion for corporate envi-
ronmental responsibility. Along with the Soilands, the lead-
ership and consciousness of community-minded “green”
thinking and action has rubbed off on the entire organiza-
tion. The result is a total company commitment to install-
ing innovations and operating the plant in ways that could
make invisibility possible. Beautiful landscaping. Absence
of odor. Quiet. Waterfalls. Birds nesting in palm trees. What
comes to mind is a park, not an asphalt plant.
www.theasphaltpro.com 23
History of Becoming Environmentally Friendlier
In 2001, Dean Soiland acquired the operations of this Kaiser/
Hanson asphalt plant, which had been operating since the 1960s.
This was Dean’s first asphalt venture. His roots are in the sand
and gravel mining industry working with his father before acquir-
ing the Mark West Quarry, near Calistoga, Calif., in 1989. That
plant had operated since the early 1900s. At Mark West, he built
a wash plant that became highly recognized for being sustainable
and environmentally-responsible. He expanded in 1997, acquir-
ing Blue Rock Quarry in Forestville, Calif.
At BoDean Company, he has taken great pains to beautify, use
less energy and be an example of “green” thinking and action. By
installing solar energy at the quarry operation, they have reduced
the electrical bill by thousands each month. Strategic grading and
paving of the asphalt plant’s materials storage area has resulted
in drier material that consumes far less energy when processed
into asphalt. Professional landscaping and placement of the ma- ABOVE TOP: More than 40 employees are part of the commitment to a greener

 Not all improvements came easily. Some required ex-
planation and communication. For example, in 2009, Bo-
Dean filed a plan to expand the asphalt plant’s storage ca-
pacity by adding three new silos. “This upgrade would
ultimately reduce and seek to eliminate the impact on
the community by allowing us to store the mixes that we
made during the day to reduce nighttime noise associated
with production,” Williams explained.
Some local citizens attempted to stop the silo addi-
tions, placing BoDean in the center of community and
environmental controversy for several years. “There was
some confusion about why we were adding silos. They
thought more silos meant more production, more pollu-
tion and more noise. Some concerned citizens honestly
thought that we were intending to increase production,”
Williams explained, “which slowed, and complicated, the
permitting process.”
After many hearings and back-and-forth discus-
sions, BoDean was able to fully clarify the benefits of
the company’s plan to minimize nighttime production
through this expansion. BoDean could then go forward
with adding the new silos, with newly-imposed limits
on production. In addition, the air district required
that BoDean install filtration systems to capture and
minimize emissions.
BoDean Company had already recognized that its
first and ongoing priority needed to be reaching com-
mon ground with the surrounding business, residential
and city leaders as well as environmental agencies, and
work with their expectations and requirements. Accord-
ing to Williams, “While there are standards, policies and
codes mandating specific compliance as a business and
environmentally, there are many emotional and person-
al considerations at play in achieving good neighbor sta-
tus. We made up our minds that we didn’t just want to
comply. We wanted to be active, concerned participants
in this community. While tackling these issues has been
difficult and expensive, it made our entire company bet-
ter at understanding and doing what we had to do to be a
positive contributor to our community and to our plan-
et—today and 50 years from now.”
The company achieved a core advance toward a small-
er environmental impact with the use of emissions-cap-
turing and filtering technology that was designed, engi-
neered and installed by the Blue Smoke Control Division
of Butler-Justice, Inc., headquartered in Anaheim, Calif.
The Blue Smoke Control Division applies its patented
technology to remove blue smoke emissions generated in
BoDean’s production.
According to Mike Butler, president of Butler-Justice,
the Blue Smoke Control System can remove up to 99.9
percent of the suspended droplets that constitute the
blue haze associated with high temperatures in the as-
phalt production process. Butler explained that by re-
moving blue smoke, the system also reduces the odor as-
sociated with asphalt production.
“We worked extremely hard on a uniquely engineered de-
sign at BoDean to provide the highest standards of asphalt

pollution control while achieving a reasonable initial in-

vestment cost and economical operational and mainte-
nance expenses,” Butler said.
BoDean uses two blue smoke collection units coupled
with a ducting system installed throughout its plant.
The batch plant is controlled by the Blue Smoke Control
Model 6-S12-C 24,000 cfm collector. The four 300-ton si-
los are vented to a Model 6-S20-C 40,000 cfm collector.
Ducting was installed by Butler-Justice at the top of the
silos, at drag slat conveyor transfer points and at truck
loadout areas. These are the key points required to assure
that only clean air leaves the plant. The ducting feeds two
collectors that process the air until it is virtually 100 per-
cent clean of blue smoke haze.
Each collector features seven stages of filtration, with
the final high-efficiency filter being 95 percent efficient
at capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns (equivalent
to HEPA quality). Because blue smoke is a vapor at high
temperatures, Butler-Justice engineered BoDean’s duct-
ing systems to incorporate the infusion of ambient air at
key points. This helps the blue smoke particles “coalesce”
into larger droplets that are then filtered out by the blue
smoke collector. The collected effluent is drained from
the filters incorporating a combination of gravity and a
sump. Filters are serviced on a periodic basis in accor-
dance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
According to Butler, “The final filter is 95 percent effi-
cient at 0.3 microns, which is over 30 times more efficient
than the Air District’s requirement to control emissions
of particulate smaller than 10 microns.”
Williams explained, “We knew we had to find a way to Joe Clancy

but you can see the investment paying off in every aspect
of the plant. Employees are eager to show off where they
work and what they are doing to beautify the area and op-
erate a clean plant…our efforts have resulted in greater
employee satisfaction and retention.”

want the best for him and his compa-
ny. I want to see it continue to grow.”
The “chance” Richardson took in hir-
ing Fernandez has paid off. “His major
talent for us is he has an encyclopedic
mind for the equipment fleet,” Wohl-
wend said. “He knows what equipment
needs to be fixed. He keeps everyone
equipped to do what they need to do.
He manages our sales.”
Richardson called Fernandez “the
hub,” handling incoming inventory
and outgoing product. “He has rela-
tionships with the truck drivers. He’s
like a PR guy for us. He’s managing
about 10 percent of the 2 million cus-
tom crushing we do.”
The Tampa recycling yard is a cen-
tral location among a group of ready-
mix contractors who dump their
trucks there. Fernandez explained
46 October 2014
that during the recent recession, de-
molition projects were the largest
contributor to the yard. “Before, we
were getting a lot more concrete rub-
ble; now it’s a lot of asphalt because
there’s a lot of road construction go-
ing on. In 2007 or so, everything al-
most stopped. Now it’s more new
construction wash-out from the ce-
ment trucks, which is a good sign.”
Wohlwend also sees good signs.
“During the height of the recession,
milling piles got huge. We saw mill-
ing stockpiles get really big. We’ve re-
ally seen some steam in the past two
years or so. Road builders are getting
busy again. The percentages of RAP
can vary on projects, of course, but to
be competitive, you’d want to use as
much RAP as you’re allowed.”

A new W 250i cold mill with a 12-foot,
6-inch cutter drum went to work
for Las Vegas Paving Corporation
in early 2014. The company put its first full-
lane Wirtgen machine to work on Nevada’s
main north/south interstate while CON-
EXPO-CON/AGG 2014 was under way to
the south. This is the first Wirtgen full-
lane machine in Las Vegas Paving’s fleet,
and project superintendent Jason Torres
discussed its first project.
“We are cold milling and paving 27 miles
in both directions—north and south—
of I-15 north of Las Vegas,” Torres said.
They’re removing 3 inches of abrasive as-
phalt material and replacing it with 3 inch-
es; including ramps and intersections.
Torres shared that the new machine
was loading 8 to 23 percent faster than the Las Vegas Paving uses the W 250i to remove abrasive material. “We are not removing layers and layers of asphalt, but at

have seen a big increase in productivity.”
The increase in productivity translates
to paving productivity, too. The crew that
mills efficiently also cleans efficiently be-
fore laying asphalt.
“We only have to run the kick-broom
one time to get it clean, not a pickup
broom,” Torres said. “We then just run
a vac broom once in front of the paver to
do a final clean-up and it’s ready to pave.
The clean cut’s really cutting down a lot
on the mechanical broom time.”
Torres pointed out how the crew is us-
ing the clean cut to its advantage when it
comes to the traffic schedule. “Originally
the spec would not let any traffic on off-
ramp milled surfaces. But when the state
saw how smooth the surface is, they al-
lowed us to put traffic on the ramps after
we mill them, and that helps us a lot.
“The hardest thing about this job is
the high-density traffic. We are having to
bring two lanes down to one lane for five
miles at a time. We are completing five
miles, leave open five miles, do five miles,
and open them in five-mile increments
all the way through.”

Stick-to-the-Plan Paving
By John Ball

W hile the crew in this project story did some great things
to get a top quality job completed, I will point out some
parts of the job that needed fixing. We’ll look at how to
fix those things together. For that reason, I won’t identify the crew
or embarrass them, but I want to say up front that I’m proud of
the way they learned and worked together. If you have a crew that
is willing to learn new tasks and new techniques, then you have a
crew that can get top quality, too.
There are about nine (9) team members in this story—in addi-
tion to myself—putting down about 1,000 tons a day. That’s a tall
order when you have several new people on board. You’ll notice
that some of the problems you see on your crews come from hav-
ing a lot of new workers in the work zone—it seems more preva-
lent to have a large number of new workers nowadays than it was
in the past.
On this project, we had the paver operator, who served as the
foreman. We had three roller operators; one on a vibratory roller
for breakdown, one on a pneumatic for intermediate, and one on
the back roller. We had a quality control (QC) person on the job
to tell us how much compaction we achieved; the goal was 94 per-
cent. Then we had two laborers with the lutes and rakes. The tack
truck driver was our eighth person. Nineteen trucks delivered the
mix, so the truck driver could be considered a ninth team member
each time one arrived.

ABOVE: Here’s where sticking to the plan really counts. Because the paver operator continued going forward without anyone knowing what he was going to do, haul trucks that
were lined up for the second pass are blocking the lane and the area isn’t tacked. We had to stop and move the trucks, which is expensive in terms of time. The screed operator had
to extend the screed for the additional length of lane, but also had to match a joint on one side and create a joint to be matched. It was a mess, as you can see from this picture.

56 October 2014
 As I suggest for any crew, we started the shift
with a toolbox talk to go over safety and the plan
for the day. For this project, they didn’t want to
pave just one side and leave a cold joint that cars
would be driving over. They didn’t want to tack a
long stretch that cars would be driving over. This
was city paving and the traffic is different from
highway paving. Pedestrians walk in the tack;
motorists drive and cut across the mat. Our plan
needed to take those challenges into consider-
ation so we elected to do “flip-flop” paving.
We used Topcon automation to pave about
95 feet forward at 2.5 inches compacted, which
equals about 18 tons, per truck. We pulled for-
ward about 6 trucks or loads. That was one lane.
Then we backed the paver up to the adjacent lane
and paved forward about 1,140 feet, which used
about 12 loads of mix. That was the second lane.
Then we’d back up to the first transverse joint
and pave forward about 1,140 feet on the first
lane. And so on.
This works well for city street paving, but re-
member: Changes to the plan must be commu-
nicated to all members of the team. During this Make sure new laborers know not to cast material across the newly paved mat. These cascades of

foot pull. He came to an area where the endgate
needed to extend to 14 feet wide and there was no
tack on the lane. Yet he kept paving forward. This created
problems with the head of material when he extended the
screed, and problems with the mat adhering properly. We
could have slippage and could fail to get compaction num-
bers. The tack is part of the project for a reason.
The way to keep those problems from happening is to
stick to the plan. If the foreman wants to keep going for a
longer pull, he needs to make that known before the pull
begins. The tack truck driver needs to prepare the surface
to be paved and the haul truck drivers need to deliver the
right amount of mix to feed the augers even if the screed
needs to be extended—or even brought in.
The paver operator must try to maintain the right speed
for the tons per hour coming from the plant. With 19 trucks
bringing mix for us to lay 1,000 tons per day, we had to be
aware of traffic affecting mix delivery. If trucks are a lit-
tle slower during rush hour, that’s going to influence the
speed of the paver. If you’re going 20 feet per minute, and
then speed up to 32 feet per minute, be aware of the chang-
es that will cause. The augers will turn faster and the screed
will rise up. The primary purpose of the paver operator is to
drive a straight line in a timely manner. That means don’t
wave at the truck driver and cause a jerking motion with the
steering wheel, etc.
We also had problems to correct with the intermediate
rolling zone. The pneumatic tired roller operator, who had
been working for the company for about two days, didn’t
understand the need to keep the tires hot. The tires picked
up material like confetti.

 LEFT: The red arrow in this image points to a space between the paver’s roller bar and
the haul truck’s back tire. This small space is important to leave when the haul truck is
backing into place so the paver operator can gently pull the paver up to the haul truck,
and then signal for the haul truck driver to lift the bed as the paver begins to push
the truck forward. In this image, the truck has begun charging the hopper without
contact. This could have been a mess that required quick work from the laborers and
crew to get it cleaned up prior to pulling the lane. The way to avoid this problem is to
make sure the paver pulls gently up to the haul truck all the way before signaling for
the driver to lift the bed. Make sure the dump man is trained to watch for slip-ups like
this. LEFT BOTTOM: It’s almost impossible to match the joint when it’s squiggly. The
way to avoid this problem is to use a stringline or automation when pulling the first
pass. Line up the endgate on a set point and drive a straight line. If the paver operator
gets distracted, he could end up with wobbles like you see here. It’s best to have a
dump man or ground personnel who direct trucks and other workers so the paver
operator doesn’t have to wave his arms around and try to do more than the important
task of laying a perfect mat. BOTTOM: This pneumatic-tired roller has a rubber apron
to help contain heat around the tires, but it wasn’t enough. The operator didn’t heat
the tires enough before getting on the mat and the result was the mess you see here.
Bits of asphalt mix came up off the mat like confetti, leaving a surface to be repaved
before the crew could move on. The way to avoid this problem is to train your roller
operators well before putting them on the machines. Make sure tires and drums are
heated properly and have the right air pressure before the machine touches the mat,
and don’t let things cool off during the paving shift. In this image, the mechanic is
scraping the tires and the coco mat.

To correct the problem, we had to stop and scrape the material off
the tires. In a case like that, you have to get off the mat and scrape the
tires. It’s not an easy thing to do and it’s going to take time.
On your project, make sure each roller operator is well trained.
Of course a worker will eventually have his or her first day on the
roller; make sure one of the veteran employees is available to check
up on that worker and to offer advice and help. Any roller needs to
have its drums hot when working on the mat, but this is vital for
the rubber tired roller. The tires need to be ballasted correctly. The
roller may need to have aprons installed to protect the tires from
chilly winds.
Usually, the equipment operator has begun as a laborer. Some of
the new guys try to feather the joints and they cast material across
the mat. That not only looks terrible, it jeopardizes your ability
to get density at the joint. Make sure the hand laborers are well-
trained because they are the artists who can make it or break it on
the job. If the lute guy doesn’t manage the joint properly, it won’t
roll down, it won’t roll flush. You won’t get a good joint.
Also remember that a clean lute is a happy lute. You want a nice
cut edge, but you can’t cut the joint with a gummed-up lute.
When it comes down to paving a clean, quality job, it takes atten-
tion to details like those mentioned here. The details get ironed out
during the daily toolbox talk, but that talk is no good if somebody
changes the plan in the middle of the shift. Make sure everyone un-
derstands what the plan is and the importance of planning. It might
be a good idea to make changes; discuss that before making the
change. Otherwise, crew time, trucking time, materials costs and
other costs increase. Communicate to and with everyone involved
in the job to keep a top quality paving project on course.

New York Maintenance By Jeff Winke

ABOVE AND TOP RIght: The right, rear leg tube on the RX-100e is positioned alongside the cutter housing
for normal milling, but the leg tube can also be rotated to a position in front of the cutter housing for flush cut
operations and precise control alongside busy metropolitan streets where pedestrians don’t always heed work zone
signs. BOTTOM RIght: The Roadtec RX-100e utility milling machine is expected to be the ideal choice for congested
urban areas and other confined work sites, as demonstrated by this New York City maintenance cut.

S ome projects have small, tight spaces that require compact

equipment with the maneuverability of a sports car, not an
18-wheeler. In these cases, contractors employ small doz-
ers, mini-excavators and compact track loaders. Add to that mix a
small milling machine specifically suited for removing road pave-
ments, milling pavement strips or milling tie-ins.
The latest addition from Roadtec, Inc., of Chattanooga to its
line of milling machines is the RX-100e, a maneuverable mini-
size mill with a base cutting width of 20 inches (508 mm), max-
imum cutting depth of 8 inches (203 mm) deep, and a drum di-
ameter with teeth of 30 inches (750 mm).
The weight, power and dimensions of this compact ma-
chine make it ideal for cutting trenches, demarcation and
cutting around manhole covers, or for other narrow spac-
es. The RX-100e features a shipping weight of 15,840 pounds
(7,184 kg), a length of 12 feet, 8 inches (3.87 m), and a width 4
feet, 8 inches (1.42 m).
The RX-100e is a 140-horsepower (103 kW) machine with a hydrau-
lically driven drum that features large access doors on both sides of
the machine for maintenance access to the interior components.
A Cummins QSB 4.5 Tier 4i compliant diesel engine powers the
small utility cold planer. The RX-100e engine is cooled by a high-
efficiency variable speed fan. The speed of the fan is based on
cooling demand, which is designed to decrease the engine load
and increase the fuel economy of the machine.
To add functional versatility, the right, rear leg tube on the RX-
100e is positioned alongside the cutter housing for normal mill-
ing, but the leg tube can also be rotated to a position in front of
the cutter housing for flush cut operations.
The operator station includes simple controls and the opera-
tor seat, which incorporates comfort suspension, can slide out to
the right of the machine for enhanced visibility.

Rock Out Crushing Options
Rockster Recycler North America introduces its mobile, pat-
ented Duplex System, a track-mounted crushing plant that al-
lows the contractor to interchange an impact crusher with a jaw
crusher, and vice-versa, on the same chassis. This unique capabil-
ity creates a dual-purpose machine for a wider range of recycle,
demolition and aggregate crushing applications.
Available in the R1100/1200 impact/jaw models and the
R900/800 impact/jaw models, the Duplex System allows one
crusher unit to exchange with the other crusher unit in approx-
imately four to five hours using an excavator. An overnight ex-
change of crusher units on the plant by a maintenance crew means
the plant can be on the jobsite and ready to crush by morning. The
R1100/1200 is designed to process 280 to 350 tons per hour; the
R900/800 is designed to process 120 to 240 tons per hour.
Rockster Recycler’s horizontal shaft impact crushers feature
two hydraulically adjustable swing-beams, as well as on-the-fly
rotor speed adjustment for accurate material sizing and fines
control. A rotor with four-bar hammer can be positioned in two-
high and two-low or all four-high configuration. The hydraulical-
ly adjustable jaw crushers feature oversize bearings and shafts
and are reversible to remove uncrushables.
The plants’ drive system is located at the rear of the machine, en-
closed in a sound-proofed housing. For maintenance and service
purposes, the casing can be opened completely on all sides. The
hydraulic pump for all auxiliary drives, as well as the pump for the
hydrostat, are driven via a distributing gear unit, which is flange-
mounted on the drive motor. The hydrostat activates the crusher
via a v-belt drive and allows adjustment of the crusher speed, re-
placing the typical clutch. The bypass chute is adjustable, allow-
ing the discharged pre-screened material to be directed to either a
side or main discharge belt. This option can be controlled with an

Kiosks for Contracting
Dexter + Chaney has released two new kiosk solutions. The Employ-
ee Kiosk and Subcontract Kiosk allow all authorized employees and
subcontractors of companies that use Spectrum software a secure
way to access and update payroll and subcontract data in the sys-
tem—without the need for additional user licenses.
John Chaney, CEO and co-founder of Dexter + Chaney explained
the kiosks add another functionality to the Spectrum Dashboard,
providing relevant information to everyone in the company. “It
was important to us and to our clients to find new, simple ways to
streamline the everyday processes that can often be cumbersome or
time-consuming.”
The Employee Kiosk provides a secure portal for employees to en-
ter their hours and payroll information, and to access other human
resources information.
The Subcontract Kiosk allows authorized subcontractors the abil-
ity to enter their own progress billings and submit them electroni-
cally into Spectrum’s Invoice Approval. Subcontract vendors are
provided with logon credentials for the Spectrum Dashboard where
they will see their Subcontract Kiosk. Access to each dashboard and
kiosk is strictly limited to the current user’s vendor information.
Inside their kiosk, subcontractors will find different applications
that will let them process billings, attach supporting documents us-
ing Document Imaging’s drag-and-drop feature, print activity and
billing reports, and view information on all open subcontracts.
www.theasphaltpro.com 61

The subcontract kiosk from Dexter+Chaney allows subcontractors to log in and
check on their payment or information progress.
“This significantly speeds up the billing, approval and payment
process, and provides another important level of checks and bal-
ances on projects,” Geoff Falk, Spectrum product manager said.
“For subcontractors, they have a way to submit their invoices
and know they are instantly in the approval queue. This means
they get paid faster. For contractors, it provides full visibility into
projects, where billings stand, and what invoices need to be paid.
Project managers can also run reports and inquiries to make sure
their projects are on track.”

Lift, Carry Heavy Parts
Long-term NICOLAS customer, Lift & Shift Engineering Mid-
dle East (LSEME), has successfully completed some of the larg-
est and heaviest transport and load out contracts in the Sultanate
of Oman. They mastered the challenges, such as a high center of
gravity and difficult undergrounds, by relying on self-propelled
electronically steered NICOLAS MHD SPE vehicles, which are
recognized for their sturdiness worldwide.
Thanks to the NICOLAS steering philosophy, the MHD has the
lowest driving height on the market when loaded. This was an ad-
vantage for LSEME, which was awarded an order for transport
and load out of five offshore decks and one bridge at a fabrication
yard in Sohar, Oman, by L&T MFF Oman. The modules were to
be delivered to the ADMA site in Umm Lulu and Umm Kaasar in
Abu Dhabi’s offshore field. The offshore decks’ weights and di-
mensions were impressive:
Module WHT 1 – 27 x 30 x 23 m – 2.250 tons
Module WHT 2 – 37 x 24 x 24 m – 3.050 tons
Module WHT 4 – 35 x 43 x 33 m – 2.900 tons
Module WHT 6 – 47 x 27 x 37 m – 3.600 tons
Module MFT 1 – 37 x 37 x 15 m – 2.600 tons
Bridge – 85 x 6 x 6 m - 570 tons
The transport and load out engineering of these modules
commenced in 2012 and was completed in 2014. LSEME’s scope
entailed the engineering of transport schematics for trailer ar-
rangements, marine analysis to identify the suitability of barg-
es and a final ballasting and loading plan for the load out of the
modules. A total of 152 axle lines of NICOLAS MHD SPE were in
use, driven by seven PowerPacks. LSEME’s team of technicians
and engineers from Oman, India and UAE were mobilized to ex-
ecute the operations. The WHT 6, with 3.600 tons of weight the
heaviest of the modules, was an especially challenging trans-
port as it was executed in the evening and with fading light. The
highly skilled LSEME team however managed to finish the job
without incidents.

Clarence Richard
Company’s EZ-Temp I
T here’s no sense in crushing aggregate
on a cooled mat, but not all roller op-
erators can judge a mat’s tempera-
ture by psychic connection from atop the
roller. For the rest of your compaction team,
the Clarence Richard Company of Min-
netonka, Minn., developed the EZ-Temp sys-
tem, which uses infrared technology to read
surface temperatures and then transmit the
measurements directly to the person who
needs them. Here’s how it works.
Installation
First, the mechanic mounts the EZ-Temp I
display on the roller dash/operator station.
He calibrates the unit for accuracy.
Next, the mechanic attaches the sensor
suspension bracket to the frame of the roll-
er near the center of the articulating joint or
on the iron between a drum and chassis. He
then mounts the infrared sensor itself se-
curely within the suspension bracket in a po-
sition that is perpendicular to the ground.
For the last step in installation, he wires
the sensor and indicator cords to the roll-
er’s fuse box.
Operation
When the roller operator is ready to begin
his rolling pattern, he turns on the system
with the knob located on the left side of the
EZ-Temp I box at his operating station. The
infrared sensor continuously measures the
temperature of the surface and sends the
measurement to the EZ-Temp I display at
the operator’s station.
The operator watches the fluctuation in
mat temperature while moving through the
rolling zone and rolling pattern. When the
section of pavement reaches the lower end
of the rolling zone temperature allowance,
he will know immediately and can turn off vi-
bratory mode or move on to the next rolling
zone to begin the pattern anew, thus reduc-
ing the chances for damage to the new mat.

ard at (800) 372-7731.
