time we need a permit to move a
machine, the cost is $1,500," he
added. "That's a nice savings."
The Doosan machines have
been a smart investment for Corinthian Contractors. With more
work ahead, Doll is confident
his fleet of Doosan equipment
is well-positioned to handle the
work. Whether the job site calls for
precision in confined areas or pow-

erful digging in wide-open spaces,
with seven Doosan crawler excavators and one Doosan wheel loader
in the extended fleet, Corinthian
Contractors is up to the challenge.

High Tech
Jamie Doll's Doosan excavators and wheel loader have not disappointed from a productivity perspective, especially since he implemented the Doosan Telematics package that provides machine intelligence, or what he likes to call "accountability technology."
The system allows Doll to monitor his Doosan machines using the
dedicated website from a computer or smartphone; he never has to
set foot on the job site. "I can monitor hours worked, hours idled,
fuel levels and maintenance hours," he said. "It's very, very helpful to
productivity."
The visibility to the machines has many business and managerial
advantages, not the least of which is diesel fuel cost savings. "I can
look online and see in real time that a machine is at 50 percent fuel
and is good for another day. I don't have to drive over and fill it up,
but I know I've got to get to it the next day," he said.
On a crowded job site, a premature refueling isn't just an unnecessary loss of productivity, but a major inconvenience for the project
as a whole.

Faults No Match For RIDGID A-Frame
Fault Locator
Finding faults in buried conductors just got easier for electrical contractors, utility repair, municipality and facility maintenance professionals,
with the new RIDGID A-Frame Fault Locator.
Designed for incredible accuracy and operator safety, the locator
utilizes low voltage to find the exact position of ground faults in direct
buried insulated wire up to two megohms. Increased on-the-job efficiency is also a major benefit of the RIDGID design. Consisting of both
a transmitter and receiver, it streamlines the fault location process to
isolate problem areas in minutes.
"Quickly finding fault line breaks is vital to restoring services that
have been interrupted, and we built the A-Frame to speed up the
process for tradespeople who tackle these issues every day," said Eric
Huber, RIDGID Senior Product Manager for Locating. "We also know our
customers want purpose-built equipment, ready to use out of the box.
Pros can locate problems quickly and accurately from the first day they
have it on their truck."
Ideal for use in electrical service, telecom, cable, railway, irrigation
and 'invisible fence' applications, the A-Frame Fault Locator can find
faults up to 3 miles away from the transmitter and up to 20 feet below
the ground, depending on conditions. It has a durable, lightweight
powder-coated frame, weatherproof membrane buttons and provides a
reference readout to aid in fault location.
RIDGID is an Elyria, OH-based global manufacturer of more than
300 dependable and innovative tools that help professionals in the demanding commercial, industrial and energy markets install and maintain
the world's infrastructure with greater certainty and efficiency. (800)
