people. Sudanese and Fulbe in the north, the Bamileke andthe Bamoun to the west, the Bantu, which include Douala,Bassa, Bafia, Fangs, Boulou, Ewondo and Eton, are locatedin the south and east. And Pygmies are found in the moreremote forestlands. Kikoo is located in northwest Cameroon. The community

of Kikoo historically used water from polluted streams.These sources were exposed to contamination because theylie at the bottom of large valleys, and are unprotected fromanimal grazing, bathing and clothes-washing that occurs inthe area. Some of the most common illnesses in the commu-nity are waterborne illnesses such as gastrointestinal infec-tions and dysentery.The Kikoo water project was begun in 2006 by the village

and joined in 2007 by EWB. Through a survey and healthassessment in April 2005, the Catholic Diocese’s SocialWelfare Department from nearby Kumbo found that water-borne illnesses were a major problem in the Kikoo commu-nity. They contacted EWB-USA for technical and financialassistance, and have been working with the group ever since.Quite simply, the goal for the Kikoo project was to design

a gravity-fed system that features a sealed spring water-fedcatchment box (which dams the water coming from a natu-ral uncontaminated spring), a concrete storage tank thatwould hold the water, and a network of pipes to distribute thewater to 12 publicly accessible standpipe water taps with gal-vanized iron faucets at prominent village sites, such as achurch and a school. The Kikoo villagers would then be ableto fill containers with clean, drinkable water to take back to

their homes for use. Two additional standpipes will be con-structed after the secondary storage tank is completed.In January 2007, the Yale Student Chapter (EWB-YSC)

conducted a technical assessment and terrain survey of thevillage. The group then designed a gravity-fed water distri-bution system including more than 4.3 mi. (7 km) ofpipeline, 14 standpipes and two large storage tanks separat-ed by 3.5 miles (5.5 km). Construction was initiated by localengineers and community members. EWB-YSC traveled to Kikoo in August 2007 to assist in

the construction of the main 1,200 gal. (4,500 L) concretestorage tank. In the most recent trip, in January 2010, EWB-YSC aided the construction of the second 1,000 gal. (3,800L) storage tank, initiating the final construction phase of theproject. A mentor on this second trip brought his expertise and a

crucial piece of technology to the project. “The Yale chapter of EWB had contacted me in their

search for mentors,” said Jeremy Smith, product specialist ofSuperior Instrument, Milldale, Conn., an authorized Topconsurvey equipment dealer. “From the description of the project at that point, I knew

that I could help the Kikoo community and student engineerswith obtaining the land survey data needed for finishing thewater system.”On the trip, Smith and Dave Sacco, an engineer with TPA

Design Group, New Haven, Conn., were mentors for sevenYale undergraduate students, many of which have studiedenvironmental engineering and fluid mechanics.In the first two days of work in Kikoo, a team, led by

Smith, conducted a land survey to confirm the proposed sec-ondary tank elevation relative to the primary tank. “The elevation of this secondary tank determines whether

it can be supplied by water from the main tank and whichstandpipes it can service, so we decided that a careful topo-graphical survey between the two tanks was a worthy use ofour time,” Smith said. A Topcon total station with an Fc-100 Topcon data col-

lector using Topsurv software was used for the survey, whichrevealed the proposed secondary tank site to be 39 ft. (12 m)below the primary tank. This is a lower elevation than theone recorded on the earlier trip made by the Yale EWB team,

Being small enough to fit into less-

than-roomy spaces is great. So is a

tremendous amount of power. But if

that’s all an excavator has to offer,

it will never be a Doosan. Our new

smaller, but still powerful, DX140LCR is

a workhorse machine built to minimize

both downtime and operating costs.

It’s easy to maintain with centralized

grease points, convenient hose routing

and easy � lter replacement. It’s also as

durable as a tank, sips fuel and is so

comfortable you could almost live in it.

Now it’s easy to see that with Doosan,

you may be working in close quarters,

but you’re never in a tight spot.

Village Comes Together for New Solution to Water Problemon which the designs for the storage tank were based. Thetank design was not changed by this new finding; at the new,lower elevation, the secondary storage tank will simply fillup at a faster rate, and the float valve should still be able towithstand the pressure of the system when the tank hasreached capacity.“We were able to complete a level run from the first stor-

age tank to the location of the new storage tank,” Smith said.“We were also able to locate most of the standpipe’s through-out the village and a few key buildings within the village.”The first setup was on top of where the first water tank is

located. The elevation was originally determined by a hand-held GPS system, since there are no surveyed benchmarkswithin 300 mi. (483 km) of Kikoo. At the time, this was theonly option for obtaining an elevation.“We were able to collect the standpipe’s location data with

much better precision using the Topcon Total Station thanwhat the handheld GPS device had shown,” Smithexplained. “Once we had a point and direction, we whereable to orientate our data with satellite data. Most of the satel-lite data for that region of the world is very crude so we wereable to obtain much better information using the total station. “We were also able to dig the hole for the secondary water

tank more precisely and we used the Topcon data collectorto create a slight slope at the bottom of the hole for water runoff and tank drainage if ever needed. Normally, this wouldhave been done with string lines, so we saved a tremendousamount of time — especially for the masons — and we cap-tured a more accurate representation of the village of Kikoo.Using the Topcon technology took a lot of the guesswork outof the job had this equipment not been available to the vil-lage.”Determining the lowest elevation in the system is impor-

tant because that is where the water will reach its highestpressure. The drop from the first water tank to the lowestpoint was about 295 ft. (90 m).The proper placement of the tanks and the network of pip-

ing is critical for ensuring the effectiveness of the water sys-tem. The community understands the system and the 27-per-son Kikoo Water Committee, chosen from members acrossthe entire Kikoo community, is responsible for the overallupkeep and maintenance of the distribution system.Everyone in the village is entitled to the water provided bythe system, and the water committee has already set anagreement for their rights to the water. In addition, eachstandpipe has a designated “president” who holds the key tothe standpipe tap, and is responsible for turning the stand-pipes on for a period each day so households can collect theirdaily water supply. The limited access to the standpipes wasinstituted by the Water Committee to ensure that all stand-pipe users are paying their monthly dues and to preventwater from being wasted. When the standpipes were firstinstalled young children would often play with the taps andleave them running continuously.Smith and his team spent two-and-one-half weeks in

Kikoo and they accomplished their goals. “There is little if any professional-grade survey equipment

in Cameroon, so having the Topcon equipment there helpedimmensely,” Smith said. “We were able to correct measure-ments that had been made by EWB on their 2007 visit wherethey had used a hand-held recreational GPS unit.”Clearly, bonds were formed between the Americans and

the local Kikoo community. There is talk about maintaining

contact and potentially working with a neighboring commu-nity facing a similar need. “It was certainly gratifying to ensure that the village has

something that we take for granted: ready access to uncont-aminated water,” Smith said.

Not long ago PaulGustafson operated tradi-tional asphalt repair equip-ment and was living pay-check to paycheck likemany working Americans.Now he owns CT Infrared, aWoodbury, Conn.-basedasphalt repair companythat’s tripled its business andprofit with half the labor intwo years, and is on track for$1 million in sales this year.

Real success, however,didn’t begin until about twoyears ago when Gustafsonswitched his business fromconventional “saw, cut, andremove” and “crack filler”asphalt repair techniques toinfrared asphalt repair.

While conventionalrepair requires the labor andequipment intensiveremoval of old asphalt from a damaged siteand its replacement with new asphalt, theinfrared technique expedites repair by heat-ing, fusing and compacting recycled asphaltwith minimal equipment, labor and newmaterial. The infrared technique can providesuperior public, commercial or residentialasphalt repairs (such as roads, parking lots,and driveways) at a lower cost than conven-tional methods, according to the company.

But when Gustafson first looked intoinfrared technology, his future success wasalmost deterred before it started.

“I called one manufacturer of infraredasphalt repair equipment and was put off bya guy who acted like I was taking up histime,” he said.

“Finally I found one manufacturer, Kasi,willing to walk me through the infraredprocess and my fortune changed.”

Claremont, N.H.-based Kasi Infrared isone of the few manufacturers in the industrythat offers hands-on training, support andguidance for those new to the technology.

“Going from traditional cut-and-removeasphalt repair to infrared repair with Kasi hastripled our business and profit, while cuttingour costs in half,” said Gustafson. “Insteadof cutting, removing and throwing away atraditional asphalt patch, we can use mostlyrecycled material. We can do a typical 5x7 ft.

repair in less than 20 minutes with one pieceof equipment, a truck and two guys. Sincecars can drive on it immediately, there’salmost no traffic disruption.

“Before we were throwing away five tonsof asphalt a day from cutting and repairing,”added Gustafson. “Now we’re able to reusethat asphalt, which for us is a savings ofabout $650 per day.”

To do the same 5 by 7 ft. (1.5 by 2 m) cut-and-remove asphalt repair would typicallytake about five or six laborers several hoursof work using a pavement saw to cut astraight edge around the damaged area, ajack hammer to break up the existing pave-ment, a bucket loader to excavate material,two trucks (one to remove excavated mate-rial and one to bring fresh asphalt) and aroller to compact the repair. It also wouldrequire enough new asphalt to replace all theexcavated material, according to Gustafson.

Infrared asphalt repair withstands weath-ering and traffic to last longer than conven-tional repair as well.

“When a utility company did a com-paction test on my infrared repair, it had a 95percent compaction rate which is phenome-nal,” said Gustafson. “Eight months later,the repair looked the same as the day we leftthe job. I had to get out of my truck and

From Operator to Owner:An Asphalt Success Story

While conventional repair requires the labor andequipment intensive removal of old asphalt from adamaged site and its replacement with new asphalt,the infrared technique expedites repair by heating,fusing and compacting recycled asphalt with minimalequipment, labor and new material.

search for it because it blended so wellwith the existing roadway.”Unlike traditional “saw, cut, and

remove” or “crack filler” asphalt repairtechniques, Kasi’s infrared asphaltrepair has no seams for water and ice topenetrate. Instead, its infrared restora-tions fuse to the existing pavement,creating a continuous surface. Thiseliminates the need for tack-coating theedges, enhances durability, and allowsroads to be opened to traffic immedi-ately. For entrepreneurs like Gustafson,

another big plus of infrared asphaltrepair is the ability to work throughsnow and cold weather, while conven-tional repair cannot.“Since we’re putting hot asphalt to

hot asphalt at a workable temperature,we can do a seamless repair even insnow, and there are no cold joints,”added Gustafson. “That means we can

work year-round when conventionalrepair cannot. People are stopping us;they want our cards and brochures.They’re going to our Web site and hir-ing us to fix their parking lots in win-ter.”Because of infrared asphalt repair’s

advantages over conventional repair,Gustafson has rapidly expanded hisbusiness into new markets. “Before, to compete with a utility

contractor, we would’ve had to spendabout $700,000 in equipment,” he said.“But we spent just $150,000 on Kasiequipment and are doing the same jobsthe big guys are doing, only better andfaster.”Gustafson has found that infrared

asphalt repair virtually sells itself oncehe gives a free demonstration toprospects. “The demos have opened up a huge

new customer base for us and haveabout a 90 percent close rate,” he said.

“When property managers for cities,malls, condos, offices, or even home-owners see how the technology canrepair their asphalt for one-third the tra-ditional cost, we get the contract.”Kasi’s infrared asphalt repair equip-

ment is commonly used by both publicand private maintenance/transportationmanagers for asphalt repair of potholes, utility cuts, trenches, depres-sions, joints and other irregular pave-ment issues. Lab studies show there isno change in asphalt integrity from theuse of its infrared equipment.The company offers a complete line

of asphalt repair equipment worldwideincluding infrared heaters, asphaltreclaimers, asphalt rollers, rakes,brooms, shovels and more.For more information, call 800/450-

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) The federalgovernment has committed $20 millionneeded to proceed with the replacement ofthe 88-year-old Memorial Bridge betweenPortsmouth, N.H., and Kittery, Maine, offi-cials said March 30.

Both Maine and New Hampshire willcontribute $38.5 million apiece, for a total of$90 million for the bridge, which carriesU.S. 1 traffic over the Piscataqua River.

U.S. senators from both states announcedthat the Department of Transportation haddedicated the $20 million, which wasannounced last fall by U.S. TransportationSecretary Ray Lahood before federal budg-et problems jeopardized the bridge funding.

Maine and New Hampshire officialsagreed last year to replace the MemorialBridge. Construction, which begins in mid-2012, is expected to take 18 months.

Replacing the bridge “is crucial to theflow of goods, services, and people betweenMaine and New Hampshire, and for keeping

and attracting new jobs to this region,” saidSen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who sits onthe transportation appropriations subcom-mittee.

In addition to replacement of MemorialBridge, Maine and New Hampshire mustrehabilitate Sara Mildred Long Bridge andperform maintenance on the I-95 bridge.Total cost of all three projects over the next30 years will be about $500 million, officialshave said.

Memorial Bridge, which was closed totraffic for more than a week in Decemberbecause of structural concerns, is the mostimmediate problem. The bridge’s weightlimit was reduced in 2009, and last summera tug operator claimed a giant chunk of steelfell from the bridge.

“Having been called ‘one of the worstbridges in America,’ I am pleased that paper-work issues have been resolved allowingthis project to move forward,” said Sen.Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H.

Oliver Stores Fill in LineupWith Sennebogen HandlersAfter several years of working around a

noticeable gap in their extensive line-up offorestry machines, The Oliver Stores hastaken on Sennebogen green machine loghandlers for forestry customers in Maine,New Hampshire and Vermont.Constantino Lannes, president of

Sennebogen LCC, confirmed that TheOliver Stores will be the company’s author-ized sales and service representativethroughout the three states, serving cus-tomers in forestry, scrap recycling, ports andwaste facilities.The Oliver Stores are a leading equip-

ment distributor based in Hermon, Maine,near Bangor. Operating since 1939, TheOliver Stores represent many of the leadinglines of mobile equipment OEMs andattachment manufacturers for the forestry,construction and logging industries, includ-ing Prentice, Valmet, TimberPro, Doosan,Rotobec, Norco and JCB.According to Scott Morrison, president of

The Oliver Stores, a gap had appeared inone critical area in his equipment inventorya few years ago. “One of our manufacturers decided to

discontinue its line of self-propelled logloaders and carriers,” Morrison explained.“We had a number of customers whorequired a machine like that. When we gotto know the Sennebogen green line, wecould see it was an ideal fit.”The Oliver Stores has a long history of

servicing forestry customers including log-gers, sawmills, pulp mills, and pellet millsas their primary customer base. One of thosecustomers was responsible for introducingMorrison to Sennebogen. “We have a mill in the area that was con-

verting its production to a new manufac-tured lumber product. They were very par-ticular about what they needed their newequipment to do, and they had decided thata Sennebogen was exactly the rightmachine. They just needed someone local tosupport the machine, and we’ve been work-ing with Sennebogen on that site eversince.”

Purpose-BuiltSennebogen manufactures purpose-built

crawlers and wheeled log-handlers sized

from 50,000 to 350,000 lbs. (22,679 to158,757 kg) and are well known for provid-ing very high lifting capacity within theirweight class. Morrison noted that theSennebogen hydraulic system is well-suitedto the accessories commonly driven byforestry machines and the optional configu-rations offer excellent reach characteristicsfor any of the forestry and scrap applica-tions. Based on past experience with special-

ized log handlers, Morrison sees theSennebogen machines as a good match fordecking and loading operations in the yardor, in the woods, for loading tree-lengthwood to trailers.Recently, Sennebogen also introduced a

specially engineered version of its 830 M-Tmodel, equipped with a dual axle drivedesigned to increase its power and durabili-ty when pulling heavy trailer loads.

Part of the TeamMorrison said his interest in Sennebogen

grew after speaking to other equipmentdealers and customers familiar with themachines. “We were impressed by Sennebogen’s

success in American scrap markets, and wegot very positive reports from our dealerpeers and their customers. We attended thegrand opening of their new head office inCharlotte last March — it’s a very impres-sive facility that’s dominated by parts inven-tory and service training.” Two of The Oliver Stores senior staff

have already attended sessions at theSennebogen Training Center, and Morrisonplans to have his staff take part in addition-al training on an ongoing basis. “Our whole sales team is excited with this

addition to our line. They all had a chance tosee the product when we demo’d an 825 Mat the Northeast Forest Products EquipmentExpo. One of our reps will specialize inmaterial handler applications, to work alongside our other staff and factory specialists,and we will be stocking a new machineshortly to show off its capabilities for cus-tomers in our area.”For more information, call 704/347-4910
