Road Builders Inc. operates a fleet of approximately 60 pieces of heavy-duty off-road, mobile construction equipment. Our primary focus is earth moving with an emphasis on larger projects. Our total fleet horsepower is approximately 25,000. We have worked closely with MSRC and South Coast AQMD staff over the past five to six years on low emission repower programs to reduce emissions from our equipment.
Twin engine repower:
Total Repower Cost: $178,221
MSRC Funding: $160,221
Rear engine repower:
Total Repower Cost: $76,081
MSRC Funding $69,081
The equipment has been repowered for six months or more and is regular duty.
The subject repower project is continuation of our efforts, working with MSRC, to reduce emissions from our equipment. This project involved repowering the front and rear engines in a Terex 24C twin-engine scraper, and the rear engine in another TS24C replacing uncertified, high emission 2-stroke diesel engines with 4-stroke Tier 3 emission certified engines.
As indicated, we have been working with MSRC for a number of years on low emission technology programs, and this work is continuation of those efforts. We are currently working with South Coast AQMD on funding options under the SOON program.
