Columbus Equipment Unveils Komatsu Hybrid ExcavatorColumbus Equipment Company unveiled a

newer, greener future to the Ohio constructionindustry when it demonstrated the world’s onlyhybrid excavator, the Komatsu HybridPC200LC-8, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 16.

While it uses different technology than today’spopular hybrid cars, the idea behind the hybridexcavator is similar — generating and storingelectricity to be used by the engine later, result-ing in lower fuel consumption and less air pollu-tion.

“We’re very excited about the new technolo-gy.

“This project was originally scheduled for an October 15,2010, completion, but through teamwork with the contractorand the City of Ashland, we’re opening this road inNovember 2009. That might not be a record, but that’s fastfor any project,” said ODOT District 3 Deputy Director JohnHart. The ribbon cutting event officially opening the bridgewas held on Nov. 24.

The project was funded with a 100 percent ARRAStimulus Investment of $1.3 million. The contractor isCuyahoga Bridge of Seville, Ohio.

U.S. 42 in Ashland Country is an integral part of “multi-modal connectivity,” according to an ODOT press release.“Its completion will enable businesses in the area to contin-ue to ship and receive goods and materials along U.S. 42from Mansfield, Richland County, and Interstate 71.”

Located near the south end of the City of Ashland Bypass,U.S. 42 provides “good connectivity to Interstate 71, theAshland County Airport and nearby Mansfield LahmAirport, and nearby rail lines from Mansfield reach to pointsaround Ohio,” according to the press release.

Brian Stacy, public information officer of ODOT districtthree said, “The City of Ashland’s willingness to enable thecontractor and ODOT to use lane closures underneath [U.S.]42 in 2009… meaning that we had a number of lane closuresof Beaney Rd. and Claremont Rd., enabled the work to becompleted nearly a year earlier than planned.”

“The City [of Ashland] allowed Claremont Rd to beclosed completely, and rather than single lane closures wedid complete closures,” said Stacy. “U.S. 42 was also com-pletely closed to traffic, which allowed completion in 2009.When you look at our detour road, it’s relatively short, butit’s right there at the City of Ashland.”

According to Stacy, some painting and other minor workremains to be done, but will be completed in the spring. Thecontractor will complete all remaining work by the originalOctober 2010 deadline.

Also in Ashland County, S.R. 89 between County Road2000 and Township Road 1922 in Mohican Townshipopened on Nov. 12 following a bridge replacement fundedby ARRA. A new three-span slab bridge over the JeromeFork of the Mohican River has been completed by MosserConstruction of Freemont, Ohio, for $374,345, according toStacy.

On Nov. 5, ODOT completed the S.R. 302 ARRA bridgereplacement project in Perry Township between CountyRoad 175 and Township Road 63. Stanley-Miller of EastSparta, Ohio, was the contractor for this $418,163.64 projectto replace a 3-span steel beam bridge over the Muddy Forkof the Mohican River, according to ODOT’s Web site.

ODOT plans to spend its $774 million in ARRA fundingin nearly every Ohio county. According to its Web site,“based on federal calculations for transportation investment,an estimated 21,257 jobs will be created or retained through

these stimulus projects, with thousands of additional jobslikely to be spurred by the economic development that willoccur as a result of the projects.”

Ashland County has a jobless rate of 6.6 percent and anannual average income of $25,468, according to ODOT’sWeb site. ODOT has estimated that the U.S. 42 projectresulted in creating or retaining jobs in the Ashland Countycommunity sooner than expected.

“In October alone, Cuyahoga Bridge and its subcontrac-tors created or retained 40 employees and a payroll of$50,581.45,” ODOT said.

Columbus Taps Three Firms to Trial Hybrid Excavator

Attendees watch the Hybrid PC200LC-8 excavatorin action.

A big part of fuel savings and subsequent reduc-tion in emissions is increased awareness. Theonboard display provides idle alerts and con-sumption reports conveying information that anoperator may rely on for more efficient opera-tions.

Columbus Equipment President Tom Stivison wel-comes those in attendance and provides someinsights on Columbus Equipment’s close ties andlong-standing relationship with Komatsu AmericaCorp.

Josh Stivison (L) takes a look under the hood tosee where the energy is captured and stored withthe assistance of Columbus Equipment TrainerMike Montgomery.

Komatsu America Corp. Hydraulic ExcavatorsProduct Manager Armando Najera Jr. points outthe generators that assist in sharing the work withthe 4-cylinder engine.

An onboard display demonstrates clear visibilityof the display unit.

machine in Ohio.“There are several non-attainment counties [where air quality stan-

dards have not been met] in both northeast and southwest Ohio,”Richards said, and that makes the hybrid machine particularly attrac-tive to local contractors. The Diesel Emissions Reduction Grants aredesigned to improve the air quality performance of Ohio’s transporta-tion sector, especially in non-attainment counties, by reducing barriersthat prevent public and private equipment owners from acquiringemission-reduction technology.

After the Jurgensen trial, RB Jergens Contractors Inc. and KokosingConstruction Company also will use the new hybrid machine for sev-eral months each. Komatsu has not yet announced when the hybridexcavator will be available for sale in the United States.

The Hybrid PC200LC-8 is a hybrid version of Komatsu’s 20-ton(18 t) hydraulic excavator. The 20-ton size class is the largest marketsegment for excavators worldwide, and Komatsu is the only manu-facturer to offer a hybrid excavator. The hybrid is just as powerful asKomatsu’s conventional 20-ton excavator, Richards said, noting thatoperators will be surprised at how quiet the machine is.

“A lot of operators equate noise with power. After test running thismachine, they will know differently,” Richards said.

In designing the Hybrid PC200LC-8, Komatsu replaced thehydraulics normally used to move the excavator’s upper structure withan electric swing motor. This technology converts kinetic energy gen-erated during the swing braking phase into electricity, using swingenergy regeneration principles. This electricity is then stored in theKomatsu Ultra Capacitor system, and, via the power generationmotor, assists the engine in the acceleration phase. By using the ener-gy while accelerating, fewer engine revolutions are required, resultingin more efficient combustion. In addition, while the engine idles, thehybrid excavator maintains a low rate of engine revolution, furtherreducing fuel consumption.

Unlike automobiles, which need a large amount of electric energyonly when they start moving and accelerate, construction equipmenthas to accommodate dynamic and frequently-fluctuating engine revo-lutions for excavator work. The batteries used in electric cars dis-charge electricity too slowly for construction applications, so Komatsuutilizes a capacitor which instantaneously stores and discharges elec-tricity.

With the thunderous boom of a cannon signaling the endof construction on the Interstate 70/I-75 interchange north ofDayton, the Ohio Department of Transportation ceremoni-ously wrapped up its 2009 construction season — a seasonthat had more than 800 active construction and maintenanceprojects in every region of the Buckeye State.

ODOT Director Jolene M. Molitoris. joined Gov.Strickland and officials from the Miami Valley to celebratethe completion of the seven-year $145 million moderniza-tion of the I-70/75 “Crossroads of America” Interchange.The project has transformed the interchange into one of themost modern, efficient and safest interstate crossroads in thecountry.

Modernization of the I-70/I-75 InterchangeReplacing the old 1950’s style cloverleaf interchange with

modern directional ramps, the new design of this heavily-travelled interchange improves safety and traffic flow, elim-inates weaving, and will meet the future traffic demands.

Both interstates represent strategic logistics and distribu-tion route for Ohio and the nation. Approximately 154,000

vehicles pass through this interchange each day. With more than 150 construction workers employed dur-

ing height of the construction, the project included the con-struction of 16 new bridges and a new railroad overpass, thewidening of four local roads, and rebuilding of eight ramps.

The interchange also features impressions of the WrightBrothers’ first flight, military fighter jets flying in formation,and images of Apollo 9, the Lunar Module, the earth andmoon and the American flag in retaining walls adjacent tothe interstate routes.

In 2004, this interchange was federally dedicated as theFreedom Veterans Crossroads. The dedication included rep-resentatives from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, local vet-

erans groups and the firing of a military cannon. This year, ODOT had more than 800 active construction

and maintenance projects in every region of Ohio, totalingmore than $3.7 billion. While work will continue at manyprojects the next few months, major construction will slowas Ohio enters the winter season.

The 2009 ODOT construction season included 40 inter-state projects, 78 bridge replacement projects, and dozens ofmulti-modal investments for improvements on railroads, atairports, and along waterways.

The I-70/75 Interchange modernization was one of 415projects wrapped up this year. On average, more than half ofthese projects were completed at least two weeks early.
