Community Transit Swift Project Manager
One of the benefits of bus rapid transit is the ability to incrementally add to the service to improve it. While Swift is already performing extremely well, there are additional upgrades underway to help ensure speed and reliability.
Additional Everett Stations
In the original partnership agreement between Community Transit and Everett Transit, Everett Transit agreed to fund the construction of all stations within city limits. In 2008, four of the originally identified stations were deferred to a later date to manage the overall project cost for Everett Transit. Everett Transit was subsequently successful in obtaining a State Regional Mobility Grant to build the remaining stations.
Traffic Signal Priority
Currently, traffic signal priority (TSP) exists on the southern 10.5 miles of the 16.7 mile route. The City of Everett is continuing with their project to install TSP at all intersections within the city limits, but progress has been slow. The city controllers are over 30 years old and are incapable of prioritizing the signal. When activated in the current configuration, the Swift emitters allow signal pre-emption and hold the lights green for Swift coaches (more like the immediate priority given to emergency vehicles than the slightly extended green lights intended for transit).
The city has had many changes on this project, but the current timeline includes possible installation of new equipment by summer 2011. The additional TSP will give Swift coaches priority through the entire corridor and help reduce travel time even more.
Queue Jump at 148th Street
The Swift corridor includes 6.5 miles of "Business Access and Transit" lanes in the southern portion of the route on Highway 99, which give the coaches a priority in the curb lane. However, where the lane ends at 148th Avenue, the coaches must proceed north through the intersection and then merge into the general purpose traffic. Often, coaches get trapped waiting for a safe gap. A “queue jump” signal would give Swift a green light before the general purpose lanes, allowing buses to merge safely. A federal grant was obtained this summer and discussions are underway with the Washington State Department of Transportation, which has jurisdiction on the traffic signal. It is estimated the queue jump could be in place by summer 2011.
When Community Transit's Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) project comes to fruition, it will have many beneficial impacts on Swift.
With the Automatic Vehicle Locators (AVL), dispatchers will have a real time display of coaches to help manage the “headway performance,” keeping buses consistently 10 minutes apart on weekdays.
With the Automatic Passenger Counters (APC), accurate and reliable passenger counts will be available at all times. APC’s will give robust passenger data about where and when customers board Swift, usage by trip and by time of day, and deboarding locations also.
The Automatic Annunciation System will perhaps be one of the first items that passengers notice. The coaches will automatically announce all stops as they approach the station. Coach operators do this manually now, but the sound quality is not as good as we’d like because buses were design for the automated system.

Harare needs $800m for roads rehab
Harare roads require $800 million for refurbishment if the city is to achieve a world class city status by 2025, a council official has said. Speaking during a tour of the city’s major roads in Harare, chief engineer of Works George Munyonga said there was need for combined effort in the refurbishment of roads since they were now in deplorable state. “To get our roads in Harare to the world class state which we are currently working towards, we will need around $800 million and that is what we are aiming for by 2025,” he said.
He said Government has since availed $17 million for the current project. The city council budgeted $4 million while Zinara put in $1,2 million.
Roads such as the High Glen road (roughly 1,8km) had since been completed while the Willowvale (from 2nd Avenue — which goes through Budiriro to Amalinda, 4,8km) was still work in progress. Eighth, 11th and 14th avenues in Glen View were also being refurbished as well as reconstruction of the Glen View Way that passes through Makomva Centre that had become impassable.
At least 6,9km of Kirkman Road had a reseal and overlay while Harare Drive is currently being reconstructed from Enterprise to Gaydon roads.
Gletwin Road in the northern suburbs is also undergoing reconstruction where overlaying of 2,5km will be done. Eng Munyonga said besides the major roads, council was also working on small roads in the city’s suburbs.
He said council was targeting to complete the project by year end.
“All these works that I am talking about have to be through by the 31st of December this year when our 180 day programme, which we have submitted to Government, will end, and we will then start to look at other phases,” he said.
Eng Munyonga said council had faced many challenges in implementing the programme.
“We have been facing a variety of challenges including Bitumen supply. This is an imported product which calls for a lot of importation elements to come through, but we have been assured of maximum assistance from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development which is currently chairing the programme,” he said.
Eng Munyonga said plans to consider having concrete roads were in place as this would lessen the burden of importing Bitumen. He said concrete roads were also deemed to be more durable as compared to asphalt roads.
“Going forward, we may need to have concrete roads. We are pursuing it vigorously together with the Ministry (of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing) and we have called for some test sections to be done, which we will monitor together in view and looking forward to implementing that mode,” he said.

Project Management in Winnipeg
Central Canadian Structures Inc. has provided project management services in Winnipeg for years. The project management method of construction is one where CCS works directly with the client to coordinate both the design and the construction. CCS will work directly with the client to create a design, an initial budget, and then a full set of working drawings. At that point, CCS will tender the project to pre-qualified sub-trades and commence construction for a stipulated fixed-percentage fee. The advantage to a project management approach is that it allows the client to have direct involvement in the entire process.
"The 46,000 square foot facility that CCS built for us in Moscow is an impressive structure. CCS was the general contractor for the project and was responsible for overseeing the work of Russian subcontractors. We worked very closely with CCS during the building process and appreciated their openness and cooperation. In a difficult environment like Moscow, it was critically important to have a general contractor with a proven track record and a competent and honest staff."

We have been supporting the village of Mangueta with its more than 500 children since 2006. Up to now the local inhabitants, like many others in the country, have failed to improve the precarious living conditions. Together with decision-makers and the people in the village, we have evaluated the most urgent needs and possible solutions. The main problem was the lack of clean drinking water and the diseases caused by it. Together, it was decided to build sanitary facilities and a well in the village school. For this purpose, a parents’ association was founded.
Together with the authorities and the school management we have planned the construction work and in particular a concept for the later maintenance of the facilities. We financed the work and the locals implemented it. The residents founded the “Association for the Promotion of Drinking Water”. With pride and care, the population bears the responsibility for maintaining their facilities. These sanitary measures are important for improving the health and for the functioning of the school. The gratifying result encourages us to undertake further joint projects.


Reno is part of the Reno–Sparks metropolitan area, which consists of all of both Washoe and Storey counties, and has a 2013 estimated population of 437,673, making it the second largest metropolitan area in Nevada.
Archaeological finds place the eastern border for the prehistoric Martis people in the Reno area.
The Reno ([ˈrɛːno]) is a river of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. It is the tenth longest river in Italy (the sixth longest of those that flow directly into the sea) and the most important of the region apart from the Po.
It has a drainage basin of about 5,000 square kilometres (1,900sqmi). The annual average discharge at the mouth is about 95 cubic metres per second (3,400cuft/s); at the point the river start to flow in the Pianura Padana (Po River Plain), it amounts to about 25 cubic metres per second (880cuft/s).
The highest values registered at the mouth have approached 2,300 cubic metres per second (81,000cuft/s), but the typical value when the river is in flood is around 1,000 cubic metres per second (35,000cuft/s). The minimal discharge reported is 0.6 cubic metres per second (21cuft/s).
The river rises in the Le Lari massif of the province of Pistoia (Tuscany) at about 745 metres (2,444ft) above sea level, from two streams that join near Le Piastre, in the comune of Pistoia. Its upper course marks the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna and flows in a wooded area crossed by the Bologna-Porretta-Pistoia railway line (inaugurated in 1864 and one of the most outstanding for the time as for engineering effort).
The upper course is characterized by several artificial reservoirs whose dams are used for hydro-electric energy production. The power produced in the basin of the Reno basin is second, for Apennine rivers, only to that of the Nera-Velino in Umbria.


Drone allows maintenance inspection of old bridge
Advances in technology are helping keep Cambridge’s iconic Victoria Bridge in tip-top shape.
Last month Waipa District Council used a drone for the first time to inspect the 108-year-old bridge as a pre-cursor to scheduled maintenance.
The drone allowed engineers to see the structure close-up at minimal cost so they could target specific areas for closer inspection.
The drone also showed the extent of moss and algae on the bridge.
A physical inspection of targeted areas is scheduled for September with contractors specifically checking for any deterioration in the bridge structure.
At the same time they will spray the algae and moss, abseiling from the side rather than using scaffolding.
The bridge, which has a Historic Places category 1 classification, sits 35.4 metres above the Waikato River.
In the past, the bridge has been water-blasted to remove the moss, but this can damage the paint system which protects the bridge from rust.
When spraying begins in the first week of September, a footpath on one side of the bridge will be closed. The other footpath will remain open.
The partial footpath closures will only be in place during the day; at night both footpaths will be open.
The spraying programme will have no impact on traffic but Waipa District Council is urging pedestrians and drivers to take extra care.
Spraying is likely to take 3-4 weeks.

The NYS GIS Association was awarded a $10,000 grant by The Fund for The City of New York to assess the GIS needs and resources for municipalities throughout NYS and identify potential strategies and solutions for the increased use of GIS. Although GIS is used extensively in many areas, there are still places in New York that do not use GIS or could use it more effectively. GIS is a technology through which communities can use computerized maps to analyze and improve a municipality’s planning, asset management, emergency response, disaster services, humanitarian aid, and other vital public functions.
The “Emerging GIS Series: Emergency Response” video shows real-life examples on how important GIS is to local governments and fire departments for emergency response. The video can be viewed on the NYS GIS Association’s YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/VSCT6sGUROA or on the NYS GIS Association’s Emerging GIS webpage at http://www.nysgis.net/emerging-gis-resources/ .


From Elbasan, the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Damian Gjiknuri has called on citizens and businesses with water debts to their pay bills and for all those with illegal connections to immediately set up contracts with the supplier.
The minister warned that abusers will be legally penalized.
"I must once again call on citizens to take advantage of the grace period which is currently active.
"We will begin our operation with businesses at first, data exchanges are being made with tax authorities and other structures that have data from businesses, to see and identify large water consumers who, unfortunately, are debtors or abusers.
"Whoever abuses water or connects illegally will be punished in accordance with the law," announced Gjiknuri.
Accompanied also by the Mayor of Elbasan, Qazim Sejdini, Gjiknuri inspected the works being carried out on the reconstruction of the water supply system in the "28 Nentori" and "Skanderbeg" neighborhoods, at an investment of about 457million Lek.
"Current investment is very important, and it provides half of Elbasan with a 24 hour water supply. In other words, 22 thousand families benefit from this investment.
"We acknowledge the 10 thousand families who are the suburban part of the city, also.
"Your investment in Elbasan is the maximum you cab support, so our obligation is to increase the performance of the water supply system, not only in the city but also in the village," explained Qazim Sejdini.
The project foresees the replacement of all main water distribution lines, construction of 430 manholes, installation of individual and collective water meters, including 1575 for family subscribers.
So far, 25% of works have been carried out, including the installation of water pipes, spanning a length of 9km.


Good sports facilities promote both the health of the residents and the appeal of the town or municipality, but you do not always need to build new and tie up your money with a fixed, permanent sports hall.
With Innorent’s sports halls, municipalities, clubs and organisations can avoid committing to large sports facility investments and gain access to suitable leased fitness facilities without risk and within budget. Our leased fitness facilities offer efficient ventilation, appropriate lighting and sufficient changing rooms.
Innorent’s sports halls can be built as multifunctional halls: the sports facilities can be complemented with office space, locker rooms, storage facilities, cafeteria, gym, auditorium or a conference room.
Since the halls are of a temporary nature, they can also be erected in so-called “restricted development” locations, where planning permission would normally be required. This makes a temporary sports hall an even better proposition!


609 Avenue Road – Cladding Underway!Nov 12, 2018
Article written and published by: UrbanToronto.ca
It has been just over a year since we last checked in on construction for State Building Group and Madison Groups‘ 609 Avenue Road, a 19-storey Richmond Architects-designed condo tower underway on Avenue Road north of St. Clair in Midtown Toronto. At the time of our last update, excavation had wrapped up and a tower crane was being installed to start forming of the tower. 13 months later, and a lot has happened.
Recently topped out at its final 66-metre height, installation of the building’s cladding has begun. 609 Avenue Road is being clad in a mix of window wall with gray spandrel framed in slender mullions, while white precast concrete panels add vertical accents, currently stretching as high as the 10th floor.
With forming of the tower wrapped up, cladding installation will continue to enclose the building over the next few months, allowing interior work on the condominium units and amenity spaces to progress as spaces are sealed off from the elements.
609 Avenue Road will add 161 new condominium units to the neighbourhood, with unit sizes ranging between 500 ft² and 2,000 ft². The building will offer residents a selection of amenity spaces featuring interiors by Tomas Pearce, including a media lounge, a fitness centre, a pet wash station, a party room, a private dining room, and an outdoor rooftop amenity.


Building a house these days is indeed an expensive affair especially with the implementation of GST and increase in sand prices. There was a time when builders could make a construction budget plan and estimate at affordable prices. But it is a different scenario today, with labor charges and the material cost skyrocketing to almost 60 to 65% of the total expenses.
For those of you wanting to build a dream home without spending out your entire life’s savings, interlock houses will prove to be a revelation.
The amount of cement and sand used can be kept to a minimum when you opt for an interlock brick house. As the cement and sand usage is less the savings will be about 30% of the total costs. The only catch is that you must get a experienced builder who can build with interlock bricks
What is interlocking bricks and how it is made:
Interlocking blocks are like 2 adjoining pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Each block has a projection at one end and a depression at the other. The projection of one block fits in to the depression of the next so that they always align perfectly.
Now that you got an idea about what a interlocking bricks is and how it looks. Lets now take a look at how it is made.
Interlock bricks are made by mixing late-rite stone powder, cement and gravel. 50 kilograms of cement you can help you make around 50 interlock bricks. The making of these are completely eco-friendly. The bricks are made with a 4000 kilograms of compress and hence there need not be any apprehensions regarding the strength and sturdiness of these bricks.
What is the difference between normal bricks used and interlocking bricks:
The major difference are
- Interlocking bricks are not baked, it is just mud in high density pressed using a pressing machine and allowed to solidify by drying naturally. Some chemicals are added for increasing the bond strength. Normal bricks are the ones baked.
- Size of interlocking brick is more. Approximately it is 2.5 times more in volume than the baked bricks. (size is 10″ x 8″ x 4″)
- Weight of Interlocking bricks is more than equivalent volume of baked bricks.
Types of interlocking bricks:
There are two types of interlocking bricks available and their benefits are given below:
1.Soil Interlocking Bricks:
The Interlocking soil compressed bricks mainly used as environment friendly materials and most modern building technologies. The room temperature is kept cool as they are thermally radiant.
2.Concrete Interlocking Bricks:

Inside the Ultrasonic Flowmeter, pairs of sensors are fitted across the tube in opposite to each other. Each sensor alternately can transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Simultaneously the transit time of these signals is measured.
The ultrasonic signals are generated by piezoelectric crystals applying a voltage. Conversely, the piezoelectric crystal creates a voltage when the ultrasonic signals touch the sensor. By increasing the sensors pairs, it is possible to accurately detect and mathematically compensate flow profile distortions.
When there is no flow, the signal transit time and receiving time are the same. When the flow starts in the measuring tube, the ultrasonic signals are accelerated in the direction of flow, de-accelerated in opposite direction.
Now the ultrasonic signals have different transit times. Less time in the direction of flow and more time against the flow. The difference in the transit time measured by the sensors is directly proportional to the flow velocity in the pipe. Together with known pipe cross-section, the actual flow volume can be calculated.
The greater the flow velocity, the greater the measured time difference between the two ultrasonic signals. For ultrasonic flow measurement, the sensor need not have to be fitted inside the pipe wall.
With a clamp-on system, the sensors are fastened directly on to the outside of the pipeline. They can be retrofitted at any time without interrupting the process. With clamp-on sensors, the ultrasonic signals are passed directly on to the pipe wall into the fluid. The signal continues through the fluid is reflected on the opposite pipe wall then measured by the 2nd sensor.
With the clamp-on design, the flow rate can be measured in a very large pipe line up to 4 meters in diameter.
Advantages of Ultrasonic flowmeters:
# Flow measurements in large pipes can be done.
# Flow of both gases and liquids can be measured.
# Ultrasonic flowmeters can measure the flow of nonconductive flows.
# For the measurement of low flow rates, the ultrasonic flowmeter is a better option compared to the Vortex flowmeter. Reynolds’s number doesn’t come into the picture.
# Ultrasonic flowmeters are no moving parts, need not worry about its wear and tear issues.
Limitations of Ultrasonic flowmeters:
# Ultrasonic flowmeters are more expensive than the Doppler version.
# Requires upstream, downstream straight pipeline, 15 pipe diameters.
# Used only in clean gas, or fluid applications.

President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned the new international terminal of the the Port Harcourt Airport, in Omagwa, Rivers State.
The new terminal was constructed by the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company Nigeria Limited as part of the $500 million concessional loan from the Export – Import Bank of China in 2013.
Nigeria provided $100 million as counterpart funding for the project, which was expected to be delivered in 18 months. The new terminal only became ready for commissioning five years later.
The President arrived the Airport at about 12:30pm and was immediately driven to the new terminal.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, President Buhari posited that the new Port Harcourt International Airport terminal will play a significant role in promoting the prosperity of River State.
He also said that the new terminal will increase passenger flux through the Airport as well as facilitate the movement of cargo. The President remarked that the Airport was getting to international standard, a panacea for the economic growth of Rivers State.
President Buhari also said that the government is engaging in deliberate efforts to increase handling capacities and infrastructure of the nation’s transport sector which was not taken care of since the 70s and 80s when they were built.
He said it was part of his promises to upgrade Nigeria’s transport infrastructure in all Geo-political zones of the country.
In his words:” Today’s commissioning is a significant landmark for international travelers especially those in the South South region.
“Not much was done after these airports were built in the 70s and 80s to increase handling capacity of the airports and so we needed to take decisive steps to ensure that our terminals meet the minimum international global standards”
“In the 2017 budget, I promised to upgrade Nigeria’s transport and complete a number projects that will be beneficiary to the nation economically and these include construction of new terminals, railways and power projects,” he said.
“Today’s commissioning is a direct policy to sustain economic growth in all geo political zones of the country,” the president remarked.
In his remarks, Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika said the project commenced in 2014 and was inherited from the previous administration at 30 per cent completion in 2015.
He remarked that despite the inherent challenges associated with the project, The President had given approval for the lapses to be corrected.
He listed the challenges to include; inadequate power supply, litigation, lack of apron space which have been addressed .
Speaking earlier, Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike assured the president that the people of Rivers State and indeed the South South are happy with the project stating that it would foster further investment in the state.

Only about 20 percent of homeowners carry flood insurance, and the majority of those who do are required to because they live in a federally designated flood zone. So why do so many people decide to go without flood insurance?
First of all, it’s a good idea to clear up some common misconceptions about flood insurance.
What Exactly Is Flood Insurance?
Flood insurance is separate from your regular home insurance policy. For one thing, it’s run by the federal government, through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
There is a difference between a flood and water damage. A flood is defined by the NFIP as, "A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties (at least one of which is your property) from overflow of inland or tidal waters, from unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, or from mudflow.”
Basically, a flood is a large event that affects at least several acres or at least two properties. Water damage is everything else—busted water pipes, rain that gets through a hole in the roof, etc. Your home insurance policy may cover water damage, but you won’t be protected in the case of a flood unless you have extra flood insurance through the NFIP.
Is Flood Insurance Really Necessary, Even if I Don't Live in a Flood Zone?
Over a quarter of homes that experience flood damage are located outside of the federally designated high-risk flood zones. That’s because there are virtually zero homes in the U.S. that are completely safe from floods—torrential rain and extreme weather conditions can strike anywhere.
If you live in an area with a low risk of flooding, then the good news is that you’ll pay much less for coverage than someone who lives in a high-risk zone.
Contact us today to find out how we can help you protect your home with flood insurance.


Windows are the major source of warmth, light, and ventilation in our homes, though it’s also possible for them to affect our homes negatively by reducing its energy efficiency. Windows that are poorly installed or designed can make a home excessively cold or hot depending on the climatic conditions and you may be surprised to learn that about 25% of your home’s heat can be lost through the windows.
To improve the energy efficiency of our homes and minimize the amount of energy that is lost through windows by almost 75% we need to install energy efficient windows in our homes. Although quite expensive, these windows are the most ideal choice to solving our energy loss issues and for individuals on a limited budget; you can simply make energy efficiency upgrades to your existing windows.
If designed properly, energy efficient windows provide comfort throughout the year, and might even end up minimizing or even eradicating the need for artificial cooling and heating in our homes during the ever-changing climatic conditions.
Energy efficient windows can improve the comfort of your home and considerably lower your energy expenses. It also gives cleaner, brighter and improved surroundings.
When making your choice on the best energy efficient window to install in your home you need to consider certain features, of which, the most important is the thermal mass of the window. Thermal windows are capable of storing heat though they can generate it. This makes them ideal for regions of extreme cold weather. They are capable of keeping heat in a room.
Another feature is noise control which can be further controlled by installing the right quality of energy efficient windows in your home. An energy efficient window with sealed double glazing and a large air gap is capable of reducing the frequency of noise transmissions in a building. Thick laminated glasses are also a good choice of noise reduction though they are less effective as thermal conductors.
Energy efficient windows are capable of reducing the violet, ultraviolet and blue wavelengths that penetrates ordinary window panes and cause fading of interior furnishing in your home. These glazed glasses are thick enough to deflect most of the sunlight beams and protect your properties.
The exterior and interior glass surfaces of energy efficient windows are within touching distance of the adjoining air temperature, minimizing the level of condensation, which is the cooling of moist air and the accumulation of unpleasant and harmful mold and mildew. Windows that are of less efficient quality can cause far bigger variation between the glass surface temperature and the room temperature, making it easy for condensation to form. The life cycle of whichever energy efficient window you choose to install in your home is also an important consideration to make.
Whether you are building a new home or renovating an existing one it is important you contact your house builder or contractor to carefully decide on the appropriate kind of glass, sizes, frames, shading and thickness of windows which will be most suitable to the orientation of your home and the climatic condition of your environment.

As your local Member of Parliament since 2010, local residents in Byfleet and West Byfleet have raised their concerns over the noise pollution from the M25.
For many decades, over 30,000 residents in Byfleet, West Byfleet, Pyrford, New Haw, Ottershaw and Addlestone have suffered from this M25 noise pollution. As I suspect that you are aware, there is a constant tapping noise as cars and lorries travel over the M25 concrete slabs which have damaged joints and the current surface on this stretch of motorway dates all the way back to when it was originally constructed in 1984.
I can now confirm that National Highways have written to me with confirmation of their commitment to repair and improve the noisy and bumpy stretch of the M25 between junctions 10 and 11 over the next 3 years.
I have been working with a local ‘M25 Action Group’, which was formed by local residents to lobby Highways England (now National Highways) with the ambition to secure an appropriate repair or resurfacing of this stretch of the M25 between Junctions 10 and 11 from National Highways.
You may recall two petitions that were created by the Action Group, one for residents to sign and one for drivers also affected by the bumpy surface and noise. The petitions were signed by thousands of people across Surrey. The Action Group presented the M25 resurfacing petitions to 10 Downing Street, along with myself and indeed, very shortly after the successful petitions, I secured a debate in Parliament to discuss these issues. This Westminster Hall Debate took place in late March 2020, further helping to highlight the need for action to protect local residents.
Later in 2020, the M25 Action Group was pleased to hear that National Highways had instructed Connect Plus to carry out trials on the M1 to test various alternative concrete surface treatments. The objective of these trials was to provide definitive data to assess the compliance and performance of various different treatments to improve concrete roads. The trial concluded at the end of 2022 and representatives from National Highways and Connect Plus attended an M25 Action Group meeting in March 2023 to share the topline results.
National Highways have now confirmed the excellent news that they would now almost certainly be working towards repairing the stretch of the M25 between Junctions 10-11, and that they would write to myself to formally confirm this news and to outline the proposed timelines and the surface treatment that would be used.
I am delighted to say that this letter has now been received!
Once the works complete, it will significantly mitigate the problems of noise and the uneven surface that residents and motorway users have had to put up with for far too long and I could not be more pleased that we’ve secured such a positive result for local residents.

Fire rated doors come in many different styles, species, and fire ratings. Fire rated steel doors play a vital role in keeping people safe and minimize property damage during a fire. Fire doors control the spread of fire and smoke for up to three hours; metal fire doors are an economical alternative to fire doors when more than a 20-minute rating is required. Steel is the sole door material to deliver a three-hour fire rating.
Arty’s Door Shop fire rated door options include 20-minute fire rated doors, 45-minute fire rated doors, 60-minute fire rated doors, 90-minute fire rated doors, and three-hour fire rated doors. Heavy duty 18 gauge steel doors with rigid honeycomb or polystyrene cores.
Fire door openings are classified by their locations. The specific building location determines the length of exposure protection required based on the potential fire hazard of the particular area. The openings are in walls that separate building or divide a single building. 90-minute fire ratings are used for enclosures, a vertical communication or egress through buildings. Examples include stairwells and elevators, boiler rooms and in exterior walls that have the potential for severe fire exposure from the outside of the building. A 45-minute fire rating is used where there are openings in a corridor or room partition; a door with this rating may also be located in the exterior wall of the building subject to moderate fire exposure from the outside of the building.
20-minute fire ratings are commonly found in openings where smoke and fire control is required from residential homes. The main part of the home going into the garage is a common opening in which a 20-minute fire rated door is used.


The new sump is coming and hence we need to plan for its stand. We discussed a metal stand, but we have to place it in the basement area on concrete. Since in Minnesota the basement is a cool damp location that might not be the best with saltwater and rust. Also flat panel steel is very expensive to rest the sump on. The idea then was to do a wood stand.
The plans were made with wood and when we realized the weight of the 60″ by 16″ by 15″ sump plus the water, live rock, skimmer and all the supplies places about 1/2 ton of weight on the stand. This caused us to start over the plans for building the wood stand. This dramatically increased cost and size and soon it was apparent we needed to consider a hybrid option.
The hybrid plan then developed as follows: take a commercial steel stand for the infrastructure have it powder coated and make sure its rated a ton per shelf. Then take the wire steel shelves on the commercial stand and replace them with 1 inch MDF Wood and 1/2 inch foam to rest the sump on. Also then use the rest of the shelves to help redistribute the weight of the pumps and supplies. We will use four poly rubber pieces to isolate the steel via the concrete to help the legs from rusting also. We hope to have this ready for install in two weeks and we will keep the pictures coming.


Operation of the Elephant Butte Irrigation District with emphasis on delivery of irrigation water to Mesilla Valley farmers.
Tape 1, Side A
Water held in the Elephant Butte Reservoir is controlled through provisions established in the Rio Grande Compact.
The Elephant Butte Irrigation District [EBID] works off a simple gravity-flow system with laterals and canals above ground level and drains below ground level.
The consultant began discussing the early spring release of water from the dam for crop irrigation. A normal allotment of water is three acre-feet, although this allotment can increase or decrease depending on water availability. Farmers can also purchase conserved water. This is essential given that vegetable crops, pecans, and alfalfa all take more water than the normal three-acre-foot allotment.
Administrative costs are charged to the farmer on the first two acre-feet of water. Technically, EBID is not charging for the water, which is a property right on water-righted land.
Small-tract irrigators own less than two acres of water-righted land. Farm irrigators own two or more acres. Small-tract irrigators receive water every three weeks on a schedule. Farmers, on the other hand, call in and order water. Water is delivered based on a complicated system administered by the water masters and the ditch riders (pages 8 - 13).
The consultant describes what occurs when there is a break in a main canal.
Tape 1, Side B
EBID supports the concrete lining of farm and community ditches. It does not line their canals and laterals with concrete because the seepage recharges the aquifer. ("Applied irrigation water . . . is the largest source of recharge to the aquifer.") The single largest use of water in the state is surface evaporation--on average twelve vertical feet from the Caballo Reservoir and ten vertical feet from the Elephant Butte Reservoir.
When the weather is the hottest is when there is the most pressure on EBID staff to deliver water. Farmers, who have wells, irrigate from them if they are not getting water from EBIDin a timely fashion.
In the case where a farmer believes that water might be short (based on information on snow pack, etc.) he would decide to reduce the number of acres that he plants, "there's a potential for a lot of fallow land durin' a water-short year." Water is still measured on a projected basis by EBID, although EBID would like to move toward a metered system to measure the actual water used at each farm.
The consultant discusses the various departments and their duties within EBID.


Light rail rears its ugly head again… and it’s being shot down by planning experts??
Raleigh, N.C. — An urban transportation expert on Friday advised Triangle officials to rethink the push to create a regional transit system, saying it wouldn’t work in Raleigh.
Triangle Transit wants to combine 14 miles of light rail, 17 miles of commuter rail and a beefed-up bus service to handle Wake County’s growing traffic congestion.
“The commuter rail plan and the light rail plan just don’t make sense to me,” said John Pucher, a professor in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Pucher has more than 40 years of experience in transportation planning. He supports alternative modes of transportation, but he said planners often underestimate cost and overestimate ridership projections.
“It’s just so difficult in this very decentralized, very sprawled metropolitan area,” he said.
Of course, this has been going on for years. It’s the government monstrosity that won’t die. I have been complaining about it in this space since 2005. But hey, at least they haven’t been able to abscond with the money in that time! That’s an accomplishment in a state where they stole the highway fund and instituted toll roads…

The project will develop new clay-polymer mixtures that enhance the ability of clay to self-heal developing fractures, hence helping the emergence of autonomously-repairing geotechnical structures.
Please contact the supervisor directly at the following email address for any enquiry regarding this opportunity: firstname.lastname@example.org
Fissuring of clay causes a number of problems in geoenvironmental and geotechnical engineering, especially in foundation systems, waste containment, pollution control, slope stability, roads and embankments. The goal of the project is to develop a clay-based material or clay-polymer mixture that the ability to heal any fissures that might form, hence giving rise to geotechnical and geoenvironmental structures that can autonomously repair inflicted damage. There is, currently no theory properly accounting for fissuring and healing of clay and relatively little experimental data that would allow the emergence of such theory. Several major questions are raised such as how is fissuring produced in clay, what is required for healing to occur in a failure surface, what factors control changes in strength and hydraulic conductivity as a result of swelling and what is the most optimal clay-polymer arrangement for promoting autonomous repair of fissures? A combined experimental and numerical investigation is conducted into the fissuring and healing of clay and clay-polymer mixtures, under changing loading and moisture conditions. Experiments at pore scale and representative element volume (REV) scale will be setup with single or multiple fractures and used to test a number of hypotheses about fissuring and healing of clay. Results will be used to validate predictive models towards better accounting of fissuring and healing in hydro-mechanical theories of clay behaviour. The project will be part of an Australian Research Council Discovery project starting in 2017 and will give the candidate an opportunity to be part of a nationally and internationally significant research effort. The successful applicant will be trained in the theoretical and experimental unsaturated soil mechanics and geoenvironmental engineering. He or she will develop an expertise in macro- and pore-scale modelling as well as laboratory techniques in geomechanics. Papers are expected to be published in one or more leading journals in the field such as Geotechnique, Applied Clay Science, Water Resources Research and/or International for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics. The work will also be presented at leading international conferences in the field.
The School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney has a long tradition of cutting-edge research, is ranked 20th in the world by the QS World University Rankings by subject and has been ranked 12th in the world by QS in 2013. The successful candidate will join a thriving community of scholars at the School with a large and diverse group of PhD and Masters students.

Border Wall as Infrastructure, a design proposal for re-imagining the border wall between the United States and Mexico, was designed by Rael San Fratello Architects and selected as a finalist in the WPA 2.0 Competition. Two examples can be seen below and more information on the project can be found here.
The most untapped potential for solar development in the United States lies along the U.S./Mexico border. Solar farms, in turn, are highly secure installations. What if we were to reallocate some of the funds used simply to construct and maintain the border wall for the construction of energy infrastructure along the border? We would actually create scenarios in many instances that are more secure than the existing wall, and that simultaneously provide solar energy to the energy hungry cities of the southwest.
The border wall can and should be envisioned as a linear urban park through certain urban geographies. When supplemented with green spaces, connected to schools, libraries and other parks, there is no reason not to think of the wall as the organizing condition for an urban park, offering pedestrian and bicycle routes through the city. The linear park, in turn, has the potential to increase adjacent property values and the quality of life on both sides of the border while providing an important green corridor through the city.

Washington Street Landing
& Boat Harbor Initiative Proposal
- A Potential Future Location for the
FarmBoat Waterfront Floating Market
The Washington Street Landing on the Seattle waterfront is an historic site with an iconic landmark from Seattle's vibrant past. The last remaining remnant from the days of steam and sail is an iron pergola structure built over the Alaskan Way Seawall around 1920. Located just south of Colman Dock (Seattle Ferry Terminal), the site is currently the only public waterfront access point for the historic Pioneer Square district which once relied entirely upon its connection with the sea.
The site at the foot of Washington Street was used for many purposes over the years from boarding Alaska Gold Rush passengers to loading timber for rebuilding San Francisco after the great earthquake. Early in Seattle history, the site hosted native canoe traders from around Puget Sound and was where the city's recreational boating culture began. In recent decades, the landing was last used as a public wharf with a floating dock that extended out into the waterway.
Upon completion of the Alaska Way Viaduct Replacement Project, a large area adjoining the Washington Street Landing may become available as public space for which city planners are currently drafting ideas (as of April, 2011). The City of Seattle and the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood have a wonderful opportunity to reconnect people with the waters of Puget Sound in a meaningful and enlightening way. This location on Elliot Bay is ideal for small craft due to the proximity to downtown and relative protection from heavy weather.
Small craft access to downtown would provide a means of recreation and enjoyment for visitors and residents alike. This could be a place for kayakers to put in for trips around the bay, Native American canoe visits, charter boats, private boats carrying ball game fans, historic tall ships, and weekly FarmBoat floating markets.
Public Boat Harbor and Floating Breakwater Promenade
While the location is fairly well protected from heavy weather, it still receives considerable wave action. To reduce the damaging effect of waves on docks and boats, and to improve public safety, a floating breakwater secured to the sea floor with cables, could provide adequate protection of the enclosed harbor and shoreline while adding a significant public space buffered from the noise of the city. Since the entire facility would be floating with the tides, it would have the feel and attraction of an intimate Mediterranean port (where tidal range is less of a factor).
Proposed Washington Street Landing & Boat Harbor:
1.) The existing Washington Street Landing historic structure could be used as the main entrance to the boat harbor docks with a pedestrian tidal ramp in the same location as previously installed prior to the removal of the old floating docks.
2.) Upon removal of the aging Pier 48 structure after the SR 99 tunnel project is complete, a potential boat basin would remain--providing an area for water-centric activities that can include paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, sailing craft and row boats.
3.) The basin could be protected with a floating breakwater constructed from two "recycled" sections of the old SR 520 floating bridge. The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge is constructed of 33 prestressed concrete pontoons. Each typical pontoon reportedly measures 360 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 14 feet, 9 inches deep. The pontoons are multi chambered and can be ballasted down to a few feet above the water for an ideal dock height. With traffic lane barriers removed, the structure could make a perfect platform for a public promenade with breath-taking views of both the bay and of the city.
Currently, there appears to be no plans for the pontoon sections of the old Evergreen Point Floating Bridge after the new bridge is installed. Likely, they will be disposed of at considerable cost just as the pontoons of the old Hood Canal Floating Bridge. Use of these pontoons as floating breakwaters may actually save tax payers money while providing a high value asset to the city.
4.) A long concrete floating dock can connect the breakwater to land. This can be constructed in the same manor as other marinas in the area. The floating docks will move up and down with the tide to provide easy access to small boats any time of day. in this rendition, the north side of the dock may be used for mooring large visiting vessels such as tall ships, charter vessels, and FarmBoat Floating Market vessels.
5.) Boat harbor finger piers can be installed to provide short stay moorage for private visiting vessels as well as moorage for small charter boats and rentals. The location of the Washington Street Landing is ideal for game visitors who wish to travel by boat to stadium events.
6.) The Center For Wooden Boats at South Lake Union is currently managing the moorage for Lake Union Park while providing an invaluable experiential attraction for Seattle residents and visitors alike. With the historic nature of the Pioneer Square district, it would be a natural fit to allow the Center for Wooden Boats to operate a small vessel livery on the Seattle waterfront similar to their popular Lake Union attraction. The Center for Wooden Boats has expressed interest in considering the development of a waterfront program provided there is an mooring area that is protected from the waves on the bay.
7.) A small boat dock can allow easy boarding of small watercraft such as canoes, kayaks and day sailers. This dock may also accommodate commuters traveling to town by kayak from West Seattle.
8.) There may be an opportunity to construct a small natural sand or gravel beach in the protected boat harbor that would be reminiscent of early Seattle. The beach would provide a means for visitors to directly touch and experience the sea. Along with supporting a wide range of water sports, the beach could also provide a place to land traditional dugout canoes to help bring an authentic native American cultural element back to the Seattle waterfront. Dragon boat paddling has become a popular activity around the world. Native American canoe paddling could be a next generation advancement in team paddling activities. This could be an opportunity for Seattle to cost-effectively embrace local native American cultural activities.
9.) The existing floating dock at the Colman Ferry Terminal that hosts the walk-on passenger ferries could be re-located to provide more room in the harbor. The dock currently extends out into the waterway at an angle from Colman Pier.

Technical Advisory Committee
The TRCC is looking to stand-up a technical advisory committee. The Technical Advisory Committee will be made up of traffic records stakeholders at the “ground level” and will advise the Executive TRCC on ideas to improve traffic records in Texas and provide technical expertise when implementing new projects.
Currently, each database represented by the TRCC is its own stage of development and being developed independently from the others. The TRCC’s ultimate goal is to have them interconnect to leverage the value of the data they contain. Some of this has already happened with the more mature databases like EMS/Trauma and CRIS.
As we continue to move toward complete integration, we want to hear from the spectrum of users and stakeholders outside the TRCC about what is important to them and what we should be focusing on with future projects funded by the TRCC. Is it local access to the data, or timeliness? What connections would be beneficial to you and your agency?
The users and stakeholders committee we are seeking to form the Technical Advisory Committee will help influence what types of projects and functionality we build into the databases and the nexuses that connect them.
The Technical Advisory Committee is open to law enforcement, EMS, analysts, engineers, researchers, persons who process driver license and vehicle registrations, and anyone else involved in traffic records.
The Technical Advisory Committee will meet twice a year. The location will rotate around the state to engage as many stakeholders as possible. Webinar will be provided for members who cannot attend in-person.
If you are interested in joining, please contact Eva Shipp at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.
Intersection Database Development Subcommittee
Currently, Texas’ roadway data does not contain information on intersections. This subcommittee will provide guidance on the development of an intersection database, including the definition of an intersection, what elements will be in the database, how it will be built and maintained, and performance measures for its use. This subcommittee is primarily for engineers, researchers, and other people who are likely to use intersection data.
