In terms of work volume, 2013is shaping up to be a record yearfor Ronyak Paving. As a result thecompany recently decided to addtwo new cold milling machines toits fleet to assist them in meetingworkload demands.

With a history that stretchesback nearly three quarters of a cen-tury, Ronyak Paving has had itsshare of experience with coldmilling machines, and the compa-nies that manufacture them. Afterconducting initial research onavailable machines in the market-place, they narrowed the field totwo manufacturers and arrangedfield demonstrations for a side byside comparison.

According to Ronyak PavingPresident, Sean Petersen, after see-ing the machines in action, its deci-sion to go with Wirtgen millingmachines was an easy one.According to Petersen, using thesame crew and working eachmachine for 10 hour days, theWirtgen was at least thirty percentmore productive than the competi-tor’s machine. Petersen isimpressed with the technologybehind the Wirtgen’s design andoperation, the outright productionof the machines and the fact thatWirtgen has a strong reputation forstanding behind its products.

Petersen said that, in an effort toprovide superior service and valuefor its customers, it makes everyeffort to employ the right peopleand support them with the bestequipment that allows them tooperate at peak performance. Thatprinciple extends to its choice ofequipment providers as well.Ronyak Paving is a family operat-ed business with the fourth genera-tion of Ronyak’s now taking theirplace within the organization.

Their relationship with

Wirtgen’s authorized dealer inOhio, The McLean Company,nearly reaches back to the compa-ny’s founding. McLean CompanyPresident, Don McLean workswith Ronyak Paving’s DavidRonyak, both third generation fam-ily members with their respectivecompanies.

One of the only challenges thatPetersen cites with regard to thenew Wirtgen milling machineswas in estimating the volume oftrucks it needed to haul offprocessed materials. It recentlyworked on a job in Hudson on amile and a quarter stretch of road,two lanes both ways that needed tobe milled at a depth of 2.5 in. (6.4

cm) before receiving a new asphaltsurface. At that depth, it took itsnew Wirtgen 210i cold millingmachine about 2 and a half min-utes to load a truck with 22 to 25tons (20 to 22.7 t) of material. Onanother job calling for a 3 in. (7.6cm) depth, the Wirtgen loaded thetrucks in less than a minute.Petersen is confident that with thenew machine’s production capabil-ities, they’ll have a clear advantagefrom a bidding perspective.

Let’s face it. When it comes to Heavy Duty Equipment, from the outside, brands tend to run together. Thereal separator? Performance. As in ‘how reliable’ and ‘how productive’. That’s why Hyundai designs theirequipment with features that matter. From the minute-by-minute, online ability to connect with your machines and know their exact productivity, to the best warranty in the business - 3 years/3000 hours full machine and 5 years/10,000 hours structural. Hyundai is an original in a look-alike world.

Wirtgen 210i Equipped WithTwo Cummins Diesel Engines

The Wirtgen 210i has twin Cumminsdiesel engines and is set up so that the secondengine automatically kicks in when deepercuts call for more power. The Cold millingmachine W210i milling machine can beequipped with milling drum assemblies of4.9, 6.6 or 7.2 ft. (1.50, 2.0 or 2.20 m) work-ing width. The milling machine can beequipped with the Wirtgen LEVEL PROlevelling system. An 800 gal. (3,028 L)onboard water tank sprays the inside of thecutter drum, increasing wear life of the teethand minimizing dust.

The Wirtgen W210i cold milling machinekept the trucks, each handling a load of22 to 25 tons (20 to 22.7 t), coming at apace of one every two to two and a halfminutes.

Milling Foreman Sam Hussein keepsthe Wirtgen W210i operating at anoptimum speed for a consistent gradeand maximum production.

Operator Matt Fix uses the Level Pro controls on the Wirtgen W210i to adjust a 2percent cross slope on the move.

As well as the W210i model, thecompany also recently purchased aWirtgen Cold milling machineW/W 150i. The machine offerslarge machine capabilities in acompact design and may be fittedwith 2, 3, 4 or 5 ft. (1.2, to 1.5 m)width milling drums. The machinecan be used for for a wide range ofapplications including millinglarge surfaces, removing pavementlayers at full depth, or levelling.The cutting depth ranges from zeroto 12 in. (33 cm). Like the W210machine, Wirtgen’s W150i can beequipped with the new WirtgenLEVEL PRO levelling system.

Petersen said that in terms ofuser friendliness and outright pro-duction capabilities, the newWirtgens exceeded their expecta-tions and are performing 100 per-cent better than its old machine.With its old machine it had troublestaying ahead of the pavers so itwas forced to sub out much of themilling. Petersen added that now it

will be the pavers having troublekeeping up.While Petersen stressed the intu-

itive operation features of theWirtgens, stating that they almostrun themselves, he also expresseda good deal of appreciation forMcLean’s level of service in set upand training on the new machines.McLean sends a service technicianto train and work with the crew,addressing any questions or con-cerns that may arise.

Based in Burton, Ohio, RonyakPaving primarily works inNortheastern Ohio, fromYoungstown as far west asSandusky, paving everything fromdriveways, parking lots, and tenniscourts to subdivision and roads. To maintain control over quality

and ensure material availability,most of the asphalt used on thecompany’s projects is produced byRonyak Paving’s own plant. According to Petersen, Ronyak

Paving plans to upgrade its asphaltplant with a goal of doubling its

production. Next year, it’d like tobe in a position to completely sup-ply crews and sell asphalt retail.

Construction One Inc. and American Eagle Outfittersrecently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate thecompletion of an American Eagle Outfitters store built by aU.S. based contractor in Mexico.

The 8,000 sq. ft. store at Plaza Galerias Guadalajara inGuadalajara, Mexico is Construction One’s first store com-pleted across the border.

Construction One has strategically been planning thismove over the past several years. Building in Canada formore than 10 years, Construction One was ready to moveinto Mexico as a registered construction company.

“We have been an established construction company in

Canada for many years and I thought getting the companyset up in Mexico would be a similar process, but it turned outto be a much more complicated task,” said Controller ChrisMoberger. “Thankfully Construction One had all the rightpeople on our side to guide us through the process without ahitch.”

February 2013 marked that milestone as ConstructionOne is now licensed to operate in Mexico.

After the prolonged legalities and licensing paperwork,the project has moved forward. The quick pace of the proj-ect is largely attributed to Construction One’s MexicoBranch Manager, Alejandro Martinez, who effectively han-dled communication between the mall owner and construc-tion team. Once construction was under way, it was only amatter of weeks before this first of its kind project was com-

pleted.Construction One performed all of the construction man-

agement services for the new store.“This is our first venture into Mexico, and we expect, our

first step into South America and Europe,” said BillMoberger, Construction One president.

Construction One expects to work on several more proj-ects in Mexico during 2013 and sees a strong 2014 for inter-national construction.

About Construction One, Inc.Construction One Inc. is a national, full service, construc-

tion company specializing in commercial construction. Thecompany has extensive experience building across theUnited States, as well as internationally.

Operating out of Columbus, Ohio, since 1980,Construction One completes nearly 300 projects annually.The company has the resources to accommodate any project— large or small.
