Jersey Shore waterfront
S
andy’s numbers were impressive: Winds stretching across
1500 km (900 miles), $68 billion U.S., and 286 souls lost
across seven countries and eight awful days in a storm
that began as a tropical wave, upgraded to a tropical
storm, then a hurricane, then a post-tropical cyclone, before
landing just northeast of Atlantic City at Brigantine, New Jersey.
Our eyes skim down to the Js and past the mowers, tractors,
something called a John Deere Hale-Pump Combo, and voilà:
some 624K and 824K Loaders; 85D, 160G LC, 270D LC, and
290G LC Excavators; 300D Articulated Dump Trucks; a trio of
410K Backhoes; 650J and 850J Crawlers; and a gaggle of Deere
skid steers, compact track loaders, and mini excavators.
Director of Monmouth County Department of Public Works
and Engineering John W. Tobia and his entire department were
ready for the storm. They had honed their natural-disaster skills
to the point where Tobia’s crews handle disaster relief, shared
services, and assistance for 53 municipalities, including the
county’s 1609 km (1,000 miles) of lane road, 980 bridges,
290 traffic-control devices, a landfill, ferry terminal, and
35 building complexes.
When we ask which have worked on Sandy, he answers, “All
the equipment was called into service. Today, there is a wheel
loader working on the approach to the Shark River Inlet bascule
(draw) bridge near Avon, and an excavator and some compact
machines working in Belmar. We are thankful the Board of
Chosen Freeholders is proactive in providing these resources so
we can get this work done efficiently, and at the lowest possible
cost to the taxpayer.”
Many responsibilities. Much equipment
Getting the iconic boardwalks back on the Jersey Shore beaches
was no easy feat as the raging Sandy waters broke them up but
good. But we were pleased to see them back in place better than
new, with the municipalities installing a splinter-free composite
decking screwed into place so portions of it can be disassembled
and removed, if needed, when the next big hurricane barrels up
the coast.
Stepping into Tobia’s pin-neat office, we see the walls lined
with county maps festooned with pushpins showing what’s
done, what needs to be done, and what needs to be done
anew. He seems to be ready for our first question and hands
us a lengthy list of heavy equipment and trucks assisting in
the big cleanup.

6 The Construction Review
He was apprehensive about buying an automated Topcon 3D-MC2
grade-control system for his company’s new dozer because of its initial
cost. “But it took about five minutes sitting in the seat of the John Deere
700K Dozer for me to realize how quickly this grade-control system
would pay for itself,” says Selge Construction Vice President Jim Boyles.
Selge is a general contractor based in
Niles, Michigan, just north of the Indiana-Michigan state line. The company
does concrete highway paving, mass
earth excavation, storm and sanitary
sewers, and a variety of infrastructure
work. Selge builds to a high standard
of quality.
“We’ve been very blessed that we have
won awards in each of the past 12 years
from national and state concrete and
ready-mix associations for quality in concrete paving,” says company President
Marvin “Marv” Selge.
Roundabout construction
We catch up with Selge and Boyles as
they’re heading up construction of a
$1.8-million traffic circle in South Bend
for the Indiana Department of Transportation. The job calls for reshaping two
streets, carving out a retention pond,
building new storm sewers, and trenching for a water main.
“The John Deere 700K Dozer is our grading machine on this job,” Boyles says.
“We’re using it to cut the road to grade
and shape the retention pond. It’s the
only piece of grading equipment we have
on the job right now.
“The benefits of the Topcon 3D-MC2
system are appreciated on this project.
We haven’t done any preliminary staking — the guys can move dirt once and
know they’re putting it in the right spot.”
That’s because the Topcon grade-control system features a color monitor in
the cab that displays a 3D model of the
project’s design showing the dozer blade
in relationship to the desired grade.
A topcon display in the cab shows
the blade position relative to the
design grade. K-Series Dozers can
be ordered with a topcon 3D-MC2
system installed at the factory.
“When the 700K operator puts the
Topcon system in the automatic mode,
it continually controls the blade, giving

“The operator of the 700K is able to cut

job,” says Selge Project Manager Jamie
Plunkett. “There are some legs that

“THE 700K IS A FANTASTIC MACHINE. IT HAS
ExCELLENT STRENGTH AND CAN PUSH

— Jamie Plunkett, Selge Construction Project Manager —
And that’s making it nice for us — to use
the 700K as a grade checker for the job.”
Plunkett says that without the
grade-control system, laborers and
foremen sometimes cannot set stakes
fast enough to keep up with a dozer.
“But with the Topcon 3D-MC2 machine
control on the 700K, it allows us to have
the operator determine the grades and
communicate them to other operators
doing earthwork on the site.”
Nice iron to have around
In the first stage of earthmoving on the
project, Selge used the 700K to move
some 8,000 cubic yards of earth. That
took the grade down to a point low
enough so crews could install approximately 1,700 feet of new water main.
A 544J Loader assisted and a 650H Dozer
backfilled the water-main trench. Meanwhile, the 700K continued to balance
cuts and fills on the site.
The next step was to install the storm
sewer concrete pipe. The 700K Dozer
backfilled that pipe, as did the 544J
Loader. Then crews relocated 400 feet
of ductile-iron sewer main.
A crew removed the old water main
as the 700K continued to cut the grade
down. In the second stage of earthmoving, the Deere dozer excavated some
13,000 cubic yards of earth and stabilized
the subgrade with Portland cement
before finish grading. And with that, the
two streets are ready for a four-inch lift
of asphalt pavement, curbs, and gutters.
What goes around comes
around
“The 3D grade-control technology gives
us tremendous savings in time and
effort,” says Selge. “It’s a leap forward
in technology. We’ve estimated we’re
saving somewhere around 40 percent
when you total up labor, time, and
reduced wear and tear on the machine.
Topcon is definitely top-notch.”
Plunkett is enthusiastic about the new
dozer, too. “The 700K is a fantastic machine,” he says. “It has excellent strength
and can push and manipulate a lot of dirt.
And the operators really like the hydrostatic-drive system.” >>

8 The Construction Review
Pulling up to Lindsey Construction, you can’t miss
the rust-orange 1950-something Schield Bantam
C-35 dragline crane’s valiant attempt to twinkle in
the friendly Lone Star sun. Considering we’re here to
see Curtis Lindsey’s newly restored 1973 John Deere
450-B Crawler, being greeted by a ghost of America’s first Iron Age seemed appropriate. We were
about to meet a contractor with a deep respect for
the past and a keen and steady eye on the future.
The

Texas
“Say, what were the redneck’s last words? ‘Hey, y’all, watch this!”
And that’s Curtis Lindsey’s third joke in the first 10 minutes of
meeting the affable owner and president of Lindsey Construction
of Spring, Texas. There will be many more. His grandfather,
C. H. Lindsey founded the business as a sand and gravel concern
in 1936, the year commemorated on the door of the company’s
1948 Bantam dragline. Of course we’re here to scope out
Lindsey’s other restored vintage workhorse, and we
can think of no better storyteller than him
to tell you — or, rather, y’all — about it.

his is a story about us reliving a bit of our company’s
history. About a dozer my dad bought for this business,

I ever operated when I was a boy. Over the years, I kept
track of the machine and its owner, and about six years
ago I ran into him at a funeral. Afterward, he told me he
still owned it and I made him an offer. Wrote him a check
right there on the spot.”

Six years and 35 large later…
Dubuque Works has still got it
“We have a great group of employees. Lindsey Construction
started out with my dad and me, and we’ve grown to a family
of almost 100 employees. Many of them have been with us for
over 15 years. Our mechanics are exceptional. They keep our
fleet running to make us productive and profitable, and when
I gave them the challenge of rebuilding the 450-B, they really
did a great job.
With Lindsey’s story about a large dirt project complete, we
meet face-to-face with the little crawler that started his career
back in 1973. And what a beauty she is — fresh John Deere
construction yellow paint gleaming in the Texas sun, with nicely
restored nameplates and still-yellow tracks, bearings, and final
gears. Parked in the middle of the recently planted nursery
trees smack between his family home and large pond, it looked
for all the world like it just rolled off of the early ’70’s Dubuque
Works crawler line and hit the ground here, some 1,112
miles away.
“Over six years, $35,000 in parts, and I-don’t-want-to-knowhow-many hours labor, they stripped it down to its frame and

“They found the rebuild kits for the drivetrain, hydraulics and
other mechanical components, the track chain, armrests, and
seat. The original ROPS canopy was scrapped years ago, but
we located one at a local salvage yard, refurbished it, and
bolted it on. About the only thing we had to fabricate were
the side grilles. The 450-B turned out really nice — our
guys in the shop definitely enjoyed working on it, and
they did a heckuva job.”
Running 1973 and 2012 Deere in 2013
Taking off from Lindsey work HQ, we head over to the
Lindsey home HQ about 20 Texas minutes away. Winding
our way down the lane and seeing his family spread come into
view, we wonder aloud how much dirt, exactly, you need to
dig and move to own such a wonderful homestead. Storyteller
Lindsey was quick with an answer and a story that exemplifies
the sort of project his company now routinely tackles.
“We are a civil construction company and do a lot of large
drainage earthwork,” Lindsey tells us. “One of the most
recent jobs we’ve done was for Brazoria County and the city
of Pearland, where we dug an 80-acre hole, 25-feet deep.
We moved about two-million cubic yards of dirt and spread
it across some 400 acres to reduce flooding and drainage
impact on local communities.”
Before heading off to see a
few of the nine Deere 650Js —
also built in Dubuque, Iowa —
he purchased in 2012 for doing
the dirt work on new luxury
home sites, we ask him if he’d
fire up his old/new 450-B and
take it for a spin. We didn’t
have to ask him twice. After
all, it’s every boy’s dream to
get his first car, motorcycle,
truck, or even his first dozer
back. And Curtis located his
exact machine with the same
serial number — 154349T.
Same dozers, same strong
customer/manufacturer
relationship
Next, we swing by to check
the progress on the current
Lindsey job, where we see
one of the newish 650Js
working where Lindsey said it
would be — in the bottom of a
hole. “From 1973 on, our company has
continued to purchase small John Deere
dozers, including the update to our fleet with
the new 650Js. Our operators love the hydrostatic
transmissions, and with the machines’ wide tracks and counterrotation abilities, they really fly through the cycles.
“you know, after operating that old ’73 450-B we used for small
site work, and looking out over this big development project
being carved out by our 650Js, you can really see how far our
company has come over the past few decades. And John Deere
has been with us every step of the way.” >>

Broad Run Recycling increases

Manassas, Virginia, is the site of Bull Run,
where the first battle of the Civil War
took place. It is also home to Broad Run
Recycling (BRR), the first construction
waste recycling facility to be certified
as a sustainable recycler (see sidebar).
The company processes 500 tons of
construction debris a day with the help
of two John Deere excavators and a
wheel loader. A 135D Excavator feeds
the steady flow of incoming construction
waste onto a mammoth conveyor. From
the conveyor, the debris travels through
a maze of screens, belts, magnets, and a

Instead of ending up in a landfill, the
material is sold in the recyclables market.
A John Deere 624K Loader lifts hundreds
of tons of dirt and aggregate into dump
trucks all day. Residual, non-recycled
waste is burned as a biomass fuel by a
waste-to-energy plant in Fairfax County,
generating electricity for approximately
80,000 homes. At the other end of the
facility from the 135D, a John Deere 160G
LC continually loads the refuse-derived
fuel into trailers to be hauled to the plant.
The environment at BRR’s facility is
about as harsh as it gets. Construction
dust gets so thick it can be hard to see.
Deere machines have delivered reliable
performance where lesser machines
have failed.
Putting the boom back into a
booming business
Manassas is just across the Potomac from
Washington, D.C., a city striving to be the
greenest of the green, having embraced
a number of sustainability initiatives such
as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). BRR founder Kevin
Herb saw a business opportunity in the
emergence of green-building design and,
12 The Construction Review
Sustainable excellence
Broad Run Recycling of Manassas, Virginia, recycles 95
percent of the material it processes. The construction and
demolition recycling facility is the first to have this percentage audited and validated by the Institute for Certification
of Sustainable Recyclers, making BRR the first certified
construction waste recycling plant.
“We’re able to divert almost all of the material that comes
into our facility from landfills and find a use for it, whether
it’s recycled into new products or burned as a biofuel,” says
General Manager Eric Nelson. “We’re very proud of that.”

with the help of partners Andrew Aman
and Eric Nelson, opened the company’s
26,000-square-foot plant in January 2008.
The timing was unfortunate for, as Herb
describes it, an economic tsunami hit and
the housing market came crashing down:
“The whole world came to an end and
commodity values plummeted. It was a
struggle the first three years.”
But in the last few years as the housing
market recovers, business has been
booming. In 2011, BRR began servicing Washington, D.C., and its growing
number of construction and demolition
contractors.
Margins, however, are thin. The monthly
fuel bill alone for BRR’s 17 trucks is tens
of thousands of dollars. “This is a very
expensive business to run,” says Nelson.
“It really helps to have a predictable
budget.”
However, the company’s original excavators made by another manufacturer
were giving them constant headaches.
“The booms were always failing — they
were actually snapping in two. Hose
breakage was also a constant problem.
Our machines always seemed to be down.”

“We’re sold”
The company switched to Deere excavators after Nelson read about their exceptional track record in trade magazines.
“John Deere is more advanced in their
R & D. This is a fairly new industry, and
Deere has been paying close attention
to our needs and wants — they are ahead
of everyone else in that regard.”
Service and support from BBR’s Deere
dealer have been excellent. “They always
have the parts we need, and they quickly
take care of any issues — which are minor
— on the same day or the next day,”
says Nelson.
According to Nelson, some companies
have not put in the R & D necessary to
prepare the machine for this environment, which is extremely dusty. “Other
machines are more geared towards
outdoor work, not indoor work. Deere
machines are designed to be very simple
to maintain and make it easy to clean
out the dust at the end of the day. Trash
guards keep garbage from getting into
the wheels, so operators don’t have
to keep jumping out of the machines.
They’re just better-designed machines.”
Deere machines have been extremely
durable and reliable. “Booms aren’t
breaking. We don’t need to replace
hoses all the time. We’re not having all
the constant breakdowns and high repair
costs like we were with the competitor’s
machines. Our maintenance costs are
extremely predictable now and not
exceeding budget every month, which
makes our jobs as managers a lot easier.”
The Deere machines have been more productive, too. “We noticed immediately
that they get more done. They’re just
quicker and more efficient. We had to slow
things down so the rest of the sorting line
could keep up, but our throughput still
jumped a couple of tons an hour.”
And the machines are spacious and
comfortable. “Our operators love them.
They work 10 to 12 hours in a harsh
environment, so they appreciate being
in a nice cab. Having nice equipment
helps us retain operators.
“Deere machines are simply more
efficient and easier to run in this environment. It’s been just a better experience
all around. We’re sold.” >>

John Deere machines stand up well to the recycling center’s harsh, dusty environment,
as Broad Run Recycling Operations Manager Elisamuel Morales can tell you:
“John Deere is better set up to handle the construction and demolition recycling industry than its competitors. The machines are
easy to clean and service. The radiator and coolers are designed
to provide wide-open access for quickly cleaning out dust.
Managing periodic maintenance is easy, too. Extended
service intervals allow us to work longer between changes.
