GMX
GMX, Inc. is a manufacturer and supplier of waterproofing and damp proofing products for the building envelope. A new, single-component fluid applied membrane that cures to provide a flexible, monolithic barrier against air, vapor, and water was recently introduced by GMX, Inc., a Garland Industries company. Air Guard polymer-modified asphalt membrane cures to a tough, durable film that offers exceptional elastomeric and crack-bridging capabilities to protect construction surfaces against air, vapor, and water penetration.
Air-Guard is an environmentally friendly, water-based material that handles easily without odor, making it a safe and convenient solution to implement in a wide variety of masonry, concrete, exterior gypsum board, stone, wood, and metal construction applications. Anthony Gargano, president of GMX, Inc., reports, "In addition to the obvious health-related hazards, moisture development within the building envelope has been shown to lead to energy loss in wall assemblies, which is increasingly important to environmentally responsible building owners." According to Gargano, independent testing in accordance with ASTM E 2178 03 requirements has demonstrated leakage rates of less than 0.001 L/s/sq.m, which is considerably below the 0.004 minimum required. By providing a flexible blanket of protection between the exterior wall assembly and any decorative façade, Air-Guard helps ease the load on HVAC systems for increased energy efficiency, while reducing the possibility for mold growth inside building walls.
Air-Guard, and other GMX waterproofing solutions for the building envelope, are manufactured using ISO 9001 quality-control procedures, and are exclusively available through GMX Authorized Applicators, to ensure the highest quality professional application.

Lignomat Ltd.
Lignomat USA Ltd offers new and more reliable test equipment to measure moisture in a concrete slab. The floor covering industry is currently facing a shift from measuring moisture vapor emission rate using the calcium chloride test to measuring the relative humidity using an in-situ RH and temperature sensor.
This method is the preferred method in many other countries and it is high time that the US follows these procedures.
Experience has shown that the calcium chloride test can pass, but the floor cover still fails. The calcium chloride test is not reliable, because ambient conditions inside the building affect the results, and only the top 1/4" of the slab is measured. The RH in-situ probe is not influenced by ambient conditions and measures as deep as needed which allows for better evaluation of moisture migrating through the concrete slab.
Lignomat offers three moisture meters and a long-term monitoring device to measure moisture in concrete slabs. The system uses reusable sensors and disposable sleeves. A handheld meter can be easily connected to the sensors and read the RH values from the sensors embedded in the floor.

Power Pavers
Power Pavers Inc. a subsidiary of Power Curbers Inc. manufactures a full line of slip-form concrete equipment for use in residential, highway and airport paving. Based in Cedar Falls IA, USA, Power Pavers in addition to slip-form paver also offers form pavers, placer/spreaders, and texture/cure machines to paving contractors.
At the show the company will introduce its new compact slip-form paver, the Power Paver SF-1700."With the ability to pave up to 7.5m (21') wide, the SF-1700 was developed to react to the contractor demand for two-pass paving in many highway applications."The response to the SF-1700 has been excellent and we are getting great reports from our customers who have put them to work" stated Fred Hite, General Manager of Power Pavers Inc."In fact, we placed machines in 3 countries within a month of the machine's introduction."
The frame of the SF-1700 is based on Power Paver's current leading machine, the SF-2700. By reducing the engine size and Main Frame width Power Pavers was able to make the SF-1700 a more compact, economical alternative to contractors desiring to pave highways in two passes."In many developing countries, concrete supply is an issue, so paving in two passes is more practical than one pass" explained Hite. Standard equipment on the SF-1700 includes a 160HP Cummins engine, spread auger and tamper bar, and 12 Wyco vibrators.

GEHL
Gehl, a leading manufacturer of compact equipment for agriculture and construction markets, presents the RT Series Compact Track Loaders—the most innovative track loaders in the market. The all-new RT Series Compact Track Loaders includes two models manufactured in Yankton, South Dakota, the RT175 and RT210, which incorporate the industry-exclusive HydraTrac™ Automatic Track Tensioning System.
The patented HydraTrac™ Automatic Track Tensioning System eliminates the need for manually tensioning the tracks on the loader before operation. When the machine is started, the hydraulic system automatically pressurizes a load device that provides the ideal tension for the track system. The HydraTrac™ System uses this excess hydraulic pressure to maintain proper track tension during use. The HydraTrac™ System not only saves valuable time on the jobsite, but also increases the life of the tracks and bearings by ensuring the proper tension immediately upon start-up and tension release when the machine is shut down.
HydraTrac™ System also ensures that all hydraulic horsepower is efficiently utilized resulting in high performance with reduced owning and operating costs. In addition, service performed on the undercarriage track system has been made virtually tool-free with the HydraTrac™ system. With the flip of a switch and removal of a simple lock-plate, the tracks de-tension and can be easily removed without the use of a pry bar or to allow access to the undercarriage track system.
