Strong demand for constructionprojects fueled job growth inNovember in 38 states compared toOctober and in all but six statesover the past 12 months, accordingto analysis of Labor Departmentdata released Dec. 18 by theAssociated General Contractors ofAmerica. Association officialssaid, however, that the shortage of

available workers was likely keep-ing firms from expanding head-counts even more rapidly in manyparts of the country.In nearly every state, contrac-

tors are busier now than a yearago, said Ken Simonson, chiefeconomist for the association.Employment is up, but the indus-try would be expanding even more

rapidly if contractors could findenough qualified workers.Nationally, construction

employment climbed by 4.2 per-cent from November 2014 toNovember 2015 more than dou-ble the rate for total nonfarmemployment, Simonson noted. Headded out that construction spend-ing rose 13 percent in the latest 12

months, suggesting a need for evenmore workers. He cautioned thatfilling those openings may be diffi-cult in many states because thenumber of unemployed jobseekersin November who last worked inconstruction was at the lowestNovember level in 15 years.

According to NDSU, the cross-functional design of the facility which officially opens to studentsin January breaks from the tradi-tion of an academic buildingbelonging to a particular disciplineor department. It is a student-focused structure made up entirelyof classrooms, labs and study areas,with an emphasis on STEM cours-es. It also is the first building of itskind at NDSU and in NorthDakota, designed for flexibility,interdisciplinary collaboration andteaching innovation.

In September, Doosan, BobcatCompany and NDSU announcedthe 2015 academic year scholarshiprecipients benefiting from anendowment funded by a $3 milliondonation from Doosan and BobcatCompany and $1.5 million from thestate of North Dakota. The initialscholarship distribution awarded$2,000 to 10 students. When fullyfunded, the endowment will distrib-ute approximately $180,000 inscholarships per year in perpetuity,benefiting countless students andtheir families.

Bobcat Company and Doosan executive team joined North Dakota State University (NDSU) to dedicate its new STEM Classroom andLab Building, which will support studies in science, technology, engineering and math.

A ceremonial ribbon cutting was held during the North Dakota State University (NDSU) buildingdedication ceremony on Dec. 10. (L-R) are State Sen. Tim Flakoll; Dean Bresciani, president ofNDSU; Scott Park, president and CEO of Doosan Infracore; Gov. Jack Dalrymple; Rich Goldsbury,president of Bobcat and Doosan, North America; Eric McDaniel, student body president at NDSU;and Provost Beth Ingram.

In September, Doosan, Bobcat Company and NDSU announced the2015 academic year scholarship recipients benefiting from anendowment funded by a $3 million donation from Doosan and BobcatCompany and $1.5 million from the state of North Dakota. Seven ofthose scholarship recipients are pictured with Scott Park, presidentand CEO of Doosan Infracore; Rich Goldsbury, president of Bobcatand Doosan, North America; and Dean Bresciani, president of NDSU.

Bobcat Company and Doosanexecutives tour the new STEMClassroom and Lab Building onthe campus of North Dakota StateUniversity.

House Built From ShippingContainers Goes up in Mich. By Ian ThibodeauMLIVE

ROYAL OAK, Mich. (AP) Theyre eas-ing people into things at ModEcoDevelopment. The 2,250-sq.-ft. home that went up in

Royal Oak looks like a new house with bigwindows and a modern design packed withsharp right angles. At first glance, it might even be hard to tell

a large portion of the new home is made outof recycled shipping containers. ModEco partner Drake Boroja said five

40-ft. containers and two 20-ft. containerswere used to build the house. Itstaken about a year to finish,because when they startedModEco fabricated the shippingcontainers on site in Royal Oak. Itwas their first time building such astructure and they were checkingthemselves at every step along theway, according to MLive. And with a few things left to

wrap up, the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has already sold forabout $430,000. It has an attached garage, vault-

ed ceiling, big kitchen and twosecond-floor balconies. The second floor iscarpeted, as is the staircase built into a ship-ping container that had been turned on-end. Boroja, his brother Dan and the third

ModEco partner, Neal Patel, took more thana few chances with the home and design. When we did this design, we wanted to

see everything that was possible with ship-ping containers, Boroja said. [We] want tobe able to let our customer see what is possi-ble. The containers are laid out in a long horse-

shoe pattern. The gap left in the middle of thehome could have been sealed off and usedfor a courtyard, Boroja said. Instead, theybuilt a ceiling and additional walls for anopen living space, accented by the big redsteel doors of four shipping containers on thenorth side of the house. Outside, the red containers are covered by

brick. The south side of the building has more

dark-colored containers. The three bedroomsupstairs all have different perks. One has twomassive windows for natural light, the otherhas a similar picture window and a littlemore space. The master bedroom in back ismassive. The partners fitted a big walk-in closet

and a luxurious master bathroom completewith a jacuzzi tub (the other full bathroom

has one, too) and a walk-in shower. The large rear balcony also is accessible

through the master bedroom. Although the house took a little longer

than similar projects in Detroit, it still was asuccessful step, Boroja said. Architects and engineers can get crazy

with the designs, both inside and out, of ship-ping container structures. The Royal Oakhome was meant to show people that evenwith the unconventional materials, shippingcontainer homes can look similar to tradi-tional brick-and-mortar houses. The building is safer, stronger and about

10 percent to 15 percent cheaper to build

than traditional homes, Boroja said. The home meets and exceeds any strength

codes, he said. The entire house is almost fireresistant. If a fire broke out in one of the con-tainers, it would be mostly container, Borojasaid. If it went up somewhere else, only thewood and traditional parts of the homewould burn. Maintenance costs over the life of the

building also are lower. The containers are fairly easy to get,

according to Boroja. Because of the tradeimbalance with China, the United States getsa bunch of containers they never send back. They wont ship them empty, he said. The

big hunks of steel then sit in shipyards. The containers come air- and water-proof.

All it takes is some spray insulation andwelding to start building a home. So its the novelty of the home and the

access to sturdy, safe materials that have himand his partners working on about four otherprojects with the containers. The response has been crazy, Boroja

said. All through the construction, people have

stopped by to ask about the home and how itwas being made, he said.

It wrapsaround the filter housing and reduces or eliminates the possibility of coldweather fuel gelling stopping the engine. It is easily removable and transferable and is wired for your choice of: direct current or alternatingcurrent or a convertible model combining dc and ac. A standard 12V or 24VUniversal Fuel Filter Preheater is priced at $138.

The peel & stick Universal Preheater attaches to the bottom orthe side of the oil pan and converts the housing into a heat transfer element. It warms the oilwithout burning it making cold starts easy. It can be used on gearboxes,transmissions, transfer cases, water tanks and even bulk oiltanks. The Preheater plugs into any 120 or 240 volt outletand consists of a thin silicone fiberglass pad containinga metal grid. To install it, you clean an area on the bot-tom or side of the oil pan and press the pad onto it,then use silicone to seal the edges of the pad and placea flexible ceramic insulation pad over it. It is available inseveral models depending on the lube capacity. A 50 wattunit sells for $44 and a 350 watt unit sells for $133.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) An organization that representshighway construction companies plans to lobby the KansasLegislature during the upcoming session to discourage trans-fers of money from the states highway fund to the generalfund and will work to elect candidates who vow to protecthighway funding, the organizations president said. Bob Totten, executive vice president of the Kansas

Contractors Association, said transferring highway moneywill compromise the safety of the states nearly 140,000 mi.of roadways and will cost the state more money in the longrun, The Lawrence Journal-World reported. Our message basically is that were not taking care of the

quality of life, Totten said. Since Kansas lawmakers approved the current 10-year, $8

billion highway program known as T-Works in 2010, stateofficials have frequently raided the fund to cover revenueshortfalls in other areas. About $300 million has been trans-ferred to the general fund this year. The transfers mean many planned preservation projects,

such as repaving and repairing potholes, wont be done,Totten said, forcing the state to pay more for repairs in thefuture. We were scheduled to [repair] or fix 115 bridges a year.

Thats an average, he said, adding, Were going to do 58.That doesnt work, and our contention, as the pros whoknow the work, is that in three or four years, or five years,were going to have to do substantially more.

He said the T-Works plan called for doing an average of1,200 mi. of preservation work each year but the state trans-portation department is doing 200 miles for the next twoyears. Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Mike

King argues that the highway fund transfers will not hurt theT-Works program or the states highways. Our interstate system is No. 1 in the nation in terms of

the quality of our interstate, he said. Were in the top fiveor top 10 in the nation in our state routes and bridges. Weremeeting our targets. He said the state could afford to use highway funds for

other purposes because many projects have cost substantial-ly less than anticipated, mostly because of low petroleumprices, low interest rates and a new federal highway bill hesaid will bring up to $30 million a year in additional federalhighway funds. The delaying of some preservation projects will not cause

excessive deterioration of those roads, King said, in partbecause new asphalt is a better product. Totten said he has heard that Gov. Sam Brownbacks

administration may ask for as much as $50 million in high-way fund transfers during the upcoming session, but Kingsaid he has not heard that suggestion.

Compromising Safety

Kansas Contractors Warn AgainstMore Raids on Highway Funds

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) State offi-cials are moving ahead with two gianthighway construction projects innorthwest Iowa. The Iowa Department of

Transportation has received bids ofnearly $127 million for widening proj-ects on U.S. Highway 20 and Interstate29, according to the Sioux CityJournal. The work on both projectsshould begin in the spring. The bids are part of two long-sought

projects, and now that the work is pro-gressing, transportation officials aredealing with fewer complaints aboutthe state favoring improvements ineastern Iowa and Des Moines overwestern Iowa.

I dont hear that much anymore,said Dakin Schultz, an IowaDepartment of Transportation trafficplanner. One project will pay for grading and

paving of the Highway 20 expansionfrom Correctionville to Holstein,which is part of an expansion to fourlanes from just east of Moville to Early.Ames Construction, of Burnsville,Minn., submitted the low bid of $62.9million for the segment, which shouldbe completed in 2018. In October, the state accepted bids of

$29 million for grading, paving andconstruction of two bridges onHighway 20 west of Correctionville. The Highway 20 work has pro-

gressed rapidly since the Legislaturelast session approved a 10-cent-a-gal-lon fuel tax, which is forecast to raisemore than $200 million for highwayimprovements. The Interstate 29 project will replace

seven bridges and complete otherpaving and grading work as part of a$400 million plan to widen the freewayto six lanes from near Sergeant Bluff tothe South Dakota border. Knife RiverMidwest, of Sioux City, submitted alow bid of $63.4 million for the proj-ect, set to be finished in 2018.

Little Beavers anchoring equip-ment allows installers to quicklysecure utility towers to solidground, which prevents towersfrom shifting or moving off foot-ings during a storm or strong winds.The equipment package includesan 11-hp hydraulic drill, a high-torque handle and an anchoringadapter and it can install eachanchor in about a minute, accordingto the manufacturer.The drills compact body and

portable hydraulic power packmake it easy to anchor in remotelocations and cramped work sites.For instance, an all-terrain vehiclecan transport the hydraulic drill andattachments. Other drills requireusing a carrier, such as a backhoe orskidsteer, to hold and power the drill,making it difficult to maneuver the car-rier through narrow work sites. Ratherthan transporting a bulky air compres-sor or generator, Little Beavers unit ispowered by a hydraulic power pack ona three-wheeled steel carriage. AHonda gas engine or Kohler dieselengine powers the packs hydraulicpump, providing the drill, or any otherhydraulic hand tool, with a 6-gallon-per-minute hydraulic flow rate. Since

the power pack is self-contained,theres minimal risk of fuel andhydraulic oil leaks.The drill maximizes productivity

with its easy-to-use controls; simplymove the positioning lever betweenforward, neutral or reverse. Thereverse position makes removinganchors as easy as installing them.Its rare to find a drill that features a

reverse drive, making anchor removalcumbersome and time consuming,said Mike Hale, Little Beaver sales and

marketing manager. With a LittleBeaver drill, anchor removal is acinch so projects get completedquickly and safely.Little Beavers high-torque

handle allows operators to drill a6-ft. (1.8 m) long anchor flush tothe ground quickly. The handlegenerates 700 pound-feet oftorque at 45 rpm, making it idealfor anchoring in most soils. Itgives the operator complete con-trol of the unit while drilling at the10 to 15 degree angle typicallyrequired for optimal anchoring.Additionally, Little Beaverstorque-tube design eliminateskickback, making anchoring safefor installers, according to the

manufacturer.Little Beaver also has anchoring

accessories for specialty applications,such as securing mobile homes,installing flexible tubes for flood pro-tection and pinning down tents for spe-cial events.For more information, call 800/227-
