BIGGEST GREEN WALL
With a total of 2064.10 sq. metre area, Entopia hold the new record as the "Biggest Green Wall". Designed to inspire people to experience nature in new way, they bring the best of the insect world and the plant world together for everyone to experience the harmony in nature. Entopia's building facade is pocketed by tens of thousands of plants covering the wall space measuring over 180 metres in length. 88,868 planting pocket of 22 outdoor plant species planted and well maintained were meticulously planned to function as both passive and active environmental system. For the Cocoon spaces, which requires minimal fenestration, the extensive green wall is designed with a passive approach on the west facade to function as a 'living screen' against heat. The filtration system is independently supported by rainwater harvesting as the primary source of water supply.


A lot of us have grown used to associating solar energy with square roof-mounted tiles and wind power with the modern version of flour mills. Our interest was perked by see-through solar glass and windmills that started using magnetic non-contact design to avoid the wear and tear of friction, but these were really only pieces of a larger technological revolution in renewable energy.
The new paradigm is using entire surfaces of structures to generate solar energy, for instance using solar roofing, which functions to gather both thermal (so heat energy to heat water and the house) and solar (electrical) energy. When incorporated with self-healing concrete structures, and hooked up to an organic quinine battery, this type of technology can create structures capable of sustaining themselves and limiting the environmental costs of living.
The paradigm shift in wind energy is using less space and reduced ranges of movement. Instead of using huge moving blades, which require a higher degree of energy to start moving in the first place, the new bladeless vibrational wind energy generators are able to generate more electricity while taking up less space and minimizing the threat to birds.
The progress being made is amazing, and if governments were to immediately switch the $5.3 trillion in fossil fuel subsidies to developing and applying these technologies then we might be able to put a dent in one of the drivers of mass extinction.
One hindrance to the success of these technologies is the combination of existing lobbies and unawareness of the new technologies. Although the bladeless Vortex vibrational generator will be ready for distribution next year, it won’t be widely adopted unless the public stands behind the change.


Did you know that a Supertall Building is a tall building over 300m in height and a Megatall Building is a tall building over 600m?
Currently, the world’s tallest artificial structure is the 829,8 meters Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The East Tower of The Federation Complex is located in Moscow and it is the tallest building in Europe, standing at 373,7 meters.
From an architectural, installation engineering, operation and maintenance point of view, it is a great challenge to build a tall building.
The Spanish Chapter is organizing a Technical Conference about “Current and Future Challenges of Tall Buildings” on 12 January 2018 in Madrid.
The Conference will be leading by key speakers with an extensive experience and knowledge in the design and management of tall buildings.
In support of this matter, ASHRAE has published “The Design Guide for Tall, Supertall and Megatall Building Systems”, a highly recommended reading.

BeRTA – All-In-One facade Greening
Behind the project BeRTA, is not a single company, but a large project team consisting of city administration, companies and science. Our goal is to enable your greening project through optimized processes and system technology so that the city can quickly become greener. We are also very concerned about the quality of the greenery, we all be successful together!
Climate change affects Austria, and Austrian cities – especially Vienna – increasingly experience hotter summers. Due to the high degree of surface sealing, some surfaces heat up to approx. 70-90°C during the day, then retain the heat and hardly cool down at night. This problem is also known as the urban heat island effect (cf. MA22, 2015). Facade greening to address this problem already takes place in cities, however, despite the theoretically high implementation potential of green facades in existing buildings, a cost-effective, easy-to-implement comprehensive solution for effective retrofitting of climbing plants to existing properties was not available to date. The implementation of green facades was also hampered by complicated and lengthy handling and approval processes within the building community and administration authorities.
The all-in-one facade greening system ‘BeRTA’ was developed as part of the City of the Future FFG project “50 Green Houses”. The idea behind this was to offer an integrated combi-solution as one-stop-shop for facade greening projects. BeRTA includes a greening-toolkit and an innovative web-based instrument for participation. The greening-toolkit is a low-tech, low-cost and easy and broadly implementable plant troughs-solution with tendrils and a maintenance concept that is specifically applicable to existing buildings. The MA 22 – Department of Environmental Protection of the City of Vienna was a partner in the research project and now supports BeRTA with a grant of up to € 5,200 per project. GRÜNSTATTGRAU qualifies all interested companies (planners, gardening and landscaping companies, suppliers of system components) and provides the technical expertise of facade greening. Tatwort manages the project and acts as coordination hub. Project development needs target consultancy in the area of innovation management to increase scalability and efficacy of the BeRTA system as well as sustainability of human resources.
Highlight project activity and output (1 sentence): ‘BeRTA’ presents an integrated combi-solution as a low-tech, low-cost one-stop-shop for inner city facade greening.
Green facades bring many advantages for the city and the building itself: facade greening in the city contributes to cooling the buildings and thus the surroundings, improves the microclimate and air quality in the city, and can reduce the perceived temperature by up to 13°C. By reducing the need for cooling, green facades help to reduce CO2 emissions. For buildings, greenery acts as a protective shield against weathering and helps to reduce renovation and maintenance costs. In addition, greenery has been proven to increase property values and improve the quality of life and health of residents. Funded as a research project by the FFG (Austrian research agency), ten houses in the target area Innerfavoriten were greened on the street side through 50 BeRTA projects. The high level of interest in the all-in-one solution in Vienna led to the development of a business model so as to offer BeRTA outside of the research project as quickly as possible, too. What is unique about BeRTA is that for the first time, the facade greening module not only includes the entire planning and construction process as well as all necessary materials, but also takes over the – previously complex – approval process with the authorities. This has made it possible to implement facade greening in Vienna more quickly and comparatively inexpensively, with high durability and quality, and comparatively unbureaucratic for the property owners. From May 2020, the BeRTA modules can also be ordered in Vienna outside of the research project. However, demands are so high that developments are underway to multiply BeRTA to other cities in Austria and Europe. The CE Responsible project supports BeRTA in this endeavour. If broadly implemented, the project harbours enormous potential for generating new jobs and for sustainably contributing to climate action.
Highlight impact: facade greening in the city contributes to cooling the buildings and thus the surroundings, improves the microclimate and air quality in the city, and can reduce the perceived temperature by up to 13°C. In addition, the climbing plants create more attractive living spaces, bring nature back into the city and improve quality of life and health of residents.

Brampton Building Two New Fire Stations
Canada Community-Building Funding is helping the City of Brampton address two priority fire services projects.
The City of Brampton is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Ontario. Between 2011 and 2016, Brampton’s population grew by 13.3% according to census data. Due to this growth, particularly in the west end of Brampton, the municipality identified the need for a new fire station to meet increased service demands.
Brampton is constructing a new two-bay, 8,500 square foot fire station at 917 and 927 Bovaird Drive. The City anticipates the new station will be complete in 2024.
In another part of the City, Brampton is addressing another priority fire project. Station 201, an existing fire station at 8 Rutherford Road South, was not originally designed to be a firehall and doesn’t meet current standards. It’s also located far too close to the Queen Street and Rutherford Road intersection, making it difficult for trucks to respond to calls in a high-traffic area.
To fix these issues, Brampton to decommissioning the station at 8 Rutherford, and building a new four-bay fire station at 25 Rutherford Road South. This new station will not only meet current standards, but also have site specific access improvements, including intersection upgrades.
These two projects will help Brampton provide improved emergency services to its growing population.


It could be that you plan hire a roofing contractors in London to install a new roof, or renovate your existing one. If so, then it is essential to select the right time to undertake this task. This way, you may ensure highly efficient and successful construction process. It is necessary to understand that the season selected for the task is likely to affect various aspects involving the installation process. It includes average time taken to complete the task and total project cost.
Also needs to be considered other vital factors like Roofing contractors London availability, prices and weather conditions.
Slow vs. busy seasons
Based on prevailing weather conditions, outdoor temperature and customer requirements, some seasons might witness less or more roof replacement demands. Again seasonal demand is likely to vary based on your local conditions and climate. A reputed roofing company can provide you with ample knowledge on this aspect and help make the right decisions.
Winter: Slow season
Being slow season, you can easily find well-established roof contractors to work on your project at low rates. However, weather conditions may prove to be the major challenge here, since extreme conditions and cold temperatures might damage the roofing materials. Shingles for examples, can be installed only in 40-45 degree temperatures and not below.
Besides this, roof materials are prone to damage from harsh conditions like sleet, snow and ice, thus making less durable roof. Besides affect materials, this cold weather is also likely to make workers to take more breaks. Hence, progress made will be much slower.
Hence, for small repairs, winter can be the right season to save on money and get urgent things done.
Spring: A bit busy season
Less humidity and cooler weather during spring season makes it ideal to undertake all types of roofing projects. There is very less risk involved in moisture damage while workers feel great to work in this pleasant climate. Thus, the project is completed more efficiently.
Summer: Unpredictable season
Right time planning during this season will ensure successful roof installation. However, the middle as the end of the season is quite humid and hot. Hence, the ideal time to carry out the project is beginning of summer. With less extreme heat, humidity and more consistent weather allows workers to carry out the task efficiently.
Since a good number of projects are undertaken during this season, finding and scheduling a provider can be a tough task. So, How to find an affordable roofing contractor during this season? You can get references from friends and find out their availability. Again during middle summer, temperature starts to soar and humidity increases. This compels works to take frequent breaks, thus prolonging the duration to complete the roofing task.
Fall: Busy season
It is considered to be the optimal time to undertake large projects. With the weather being consistently cool, workers will take less time to complete the task and be more productive. Shingles also sets as well as seals effectively during this season.
The only problem faced during this peak season is hiring a good and reliable contractor. So, How do I find affordable & quality roofing contractors? It will be better to plan your project and hire the professionals in advance.


Assistant Professor Daniel Sheldon
I’m currently engaged in a research project sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to assess the vulnerability of road networks in Western Massachusetts to disruptions caused by extreme weather events. This is part of a larger interdisciplinary project at UMass that is building holistic models of road and river networks—including factors such as water flow, infrastructure condition, and ecological connectivity—to provide information to help improve the resilience of road networks and the health of river networks. Our pilot project analyzes the 665 square mile portion of the Deerfield River watershed in Western Massachusetts to model the extent to which emergency services will be disrupted if flooding renders key road segments unpassable. We are developing optimization algorithms to select infrastructure maintenance and upgrade projects to minimize this disruption in the future.
Road-stream crossings are a growing area of concern for the health of road and river networks. In particular, culverts are ubiquitous and aging infrastructure elements, which, if they do not function properly, disrupt ecological connectivity in rivers and streams and risk failing and making roads impassable during floods.
Road failures during extreme weather events cause major disruptions to commerce and public services such as emergency medical services (EMS). Investing to improve infrastructure prior to a disaster is much more cost-effective than responding in a disaster relief scenario. The state Department of Transportation (DOT) sponsored a project to address the problem, which had several goals:
- develop an innovative systems-based approach to improve the assessment prioritization, planning, protection and maintenance of roads and road-stream crossings
- proactively address upgrading structures to account for climate change
- complement existing DOT project development and bridge design processes
- provide a decision-support tool for project planning and development.
As part of this project, we addressed a key question: what is the best way to invest infrastructure dollars prior to a disaster?
We are addressing the problem in two phases. First, we assessed the potential of each road-stream crossing in the network to disrupt road network functionality—as measured by EMS response times—if it fails. Key tasks included: mapping “first responder” services (e.g., police and fire stations, hospitals), collecting and analyzing historical EMS data, using scenario analysis to “replay” old EMS incidents in different versions of the network after simulated failures, ranking of road-stream crossings and road segments based on disruption potential, and map-based visualization of results. The results of this phase of the project provide information about the disruption potential of individual culverts to MassDOT to guide maintenance and infrastructure planning.
Second, we are developing efficient optimization algorithms to help invest maintenance dollars to optimize the resilience of road networks. For this part of the project, each culvert is assigned a probability of failure, which will be based on modeling of the condition and geomorphic vulnerability done in other parts of the broader project. For each culvert, maintenance and repair actions can be performed to reduce the failure risk. The goal is to select which maintenance and repair actions to perform, given a fixed budget, to minimize the expected EMS response times after a flooding event.
We created a fast algorithm for this stochastic optimization problem by designing a novel sampling technique and a novel primal-dual procedure. Our method performs nearly optimally in benchmarks and is much more scalable than existing algorithms. These tools will influence decision making relative to road maintenance and lead to improved access to emergency medical services during natural disasters. We will soon be speaking with the DOT and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to discuss next phases.
Our analytical platform can be applied more broadly to optimize the resilience of networks, including communication networks, social networks, financial networks, and habitat networks. Access more information about Daniel Sheldon’s research here.


Construction is developing very dynamically, new technologies, projects and innovative ideas emerge. At the same time, many people choose naturalness instead of modern materials. Many people do not want to live in concrete houses with similar structures. Fortunately, new technologies also take into account wood, they offer the possibility of building houses from this material. Every year wooden houses are gaining more and more fans who consider wood an ideal material.
Types of construction of wooden houses
Wooden houses they can be of different style and character. They can be built in different types of wood. The best known is the frame structure in which the frame is made of solid wood and filled with thermal insulation. The downside of this design is quick cooling. Log houses are becoming more and more popular. They are made of pine, fir or spruce, therefore their cost is quite high. Building a log house requires a lot of experience, precision and accuracy.
Log structures regulate humidity and the interior slowly cools down, which is their great advantage. Wooden houses are often built of prefabricated elements. Houses are built in the factory, individual elements are joined together, and windows are inserted. Ready elements are placed on the plot and assembly is finished there. It is a very convenient option, prefabricated houses are durable, they can also be made to individual customer orders.An important element of wooden houses is the roof. You can cover it with thatch, wooden shingle or aspen shavings.
Advantages of a wooden house
Wood has many undeniable advantages, which is why it is such a popular building material. It is worth getting to know them to decide whether a wooden house will be a dream come true. The main advantages are:
- Price – is a very important aspect for many people. The price of wooden houses is much lower than those of traditional brick houses.
- Time – wooden houses are built much faster than their traditional counterparts.
- Lower costs of interior fittings – the wood is beautiful in itself, it does not need to be additionally decorated. In a wooden house, no additional plasters, wallpapers or floors are needed.
- Ecology – a wooden house is ecological and environmentally friendly. Wood is a natural, renewable and recyclable product.
- Health – wood has proven health properties and promotes well-being. It is friendly to allergy sufferers and young children as it does not cause allergies. It has a great effect on well-being, allows you to relax and rest. Natural color has a positive effect on the mental state, improves mood, creates a home atmosphere, cozy atmosphere.
- Smell – wooden houses emit the smell of essential oils, which is good for the respiratory system and has a relaxing effect. Coniferous resin is also antibacterial and antifungal.
- Energy efficiency – insulated wooden houses consume less energy, allow you to save energy and money.
- Correct humidity – wood provides natural air humidity, absorbs excess moisture, and when dry, gives it back. Contrary to brick houses, the air in wooden houses does not dry out.
- Strength and durability – wood is a very good building material. A well-made house made of this material will last for many years and several generations. Wood has been used for centuries to build houses and other permanent structures, including ships. This confirms its durability and endurance.
- Electrostatic – no dust builds up in wooden houses, which is why they are ideal for people suffering from allergies.
Disadvantages of wooden houses
Like any material, wood also has its weaknesses. It is very important to find a good contractor who has extensive experience in erecting this type of buildings. A company that builds wooden houses it must employ skilled workers and have access to good quality wood. You also need specialized equipment to create the perfect home.
Currently, there are not many such companies in Poland, so you need to carefully select, read the opinions and decide on a contractor worth recommending. The disadvantage of wood may be that it is easily heated and cooled in some structures, brick has a better property in this regard. Wooden houses need special care. Proper maintenance and protection of the wood against pests, which can significantly damage the entire structure, are important. The boards should also be protected against moisture.
As you can see, wood is an excellent material for building houses. The number of advantages is enormous, exceeding the disadvantages that can be easily eliminated. Wooden houses can be of different styles, classic or modern, with different surfaces. They can be single-storey or have several storeys. The choice is wide, everyone will find a perfect home for themselves.


Our backgrounds in design, engineering, contract administration and construction equip us to access feasibility and clearly identify and define the project goals at the very earliest stages. This clarity facilitates the selecting, appointing and briefing of an appropriate consultant team and subsequent management of all aspects of the design and construction processes.
We believe that successful projects result from well-documented project team discussions early in the life of a project. Helix project managers convene and direct these discussions, with the input of the owner/developer, marketing experts, concept designers, architects, engineering consultants and quantity surveyors. By having these meetings early in the design development, Helix facilitates the focus of all significant parties on the project goals, the budget and time constraints, and ensures design and delivery of a successful project.
Early in the life of the project, Helix establishes project specific management systems and processes to control cost and time and deliver prescribed levels of quality. Helix has proven systems of communication and document control and is continually refining and developing them to deliver projects more efficiently.
Our systems are pivotal to enhancing the contractor’s efficiency and the designer’s ability to furnish information as needed. These systems protect the budget and time commitments made to the client.


Choosing the appropriate roof product for your house could be an enigma for several home owners. With the number of alternatives offered, it has become increasingly hard to pick.
Over the last few years, residential steel roof has expanded dramatically in popularity as many home owners have actually learned of its resilience, while others have actually concentrated on the lots of styles and also colors readily available. Nevertheless, there is still a greater number that are trying to untangle the hints.
Tom Black, executive supervisor of the Metal Roof Covering Alliance (MRA), addresses the most usual concerns most home owners have regarding steel roofing:
Why should a homeowner take into consideration metal roofing?
Metal roof covering has numerous advantages. As an example, metal roofings have a reduced life cycle expense compared to many standard roofing material such as asphalt or cedar and also it could endure extreme weather such as hail, snow, high winds in addition to fire. It's additionally available in numerous designs and also shades to fit virtually any type of house.
Just what is the total cost of a metal roofing system?
Steel roofs can at first cost three to four times greater than typical roof covering products, yet homeowners should keep in mind that the common asphalt or cedar roofing needs substitute every 15 years. While asphalt or cedar roofings are at first more affordable, when house owners think about the expense of a metal roofing system spread out over a 60-year period, metal is the clear selection.
Do metal roofings include service warranties?
While a lot of superior asphalt roofing systems will last from 12 to Two Decade, steel can last more than 60. That's why you'll locate most metal roof with guarantees of about HALF A CENTURY-- almost four times greater than many other roof covering products.
Typically aren't metal roof coverings noisy?
Never. Steel roofs with strong sheathing as well as insulation control sound from rainfall, hail and also bad climate equally as well as other roofing product.
How does steel roofing take on extreme weather condition?
Metal roof is look at here now the most long lasting roofing product readily available. Whether it's hailstorm, snow, extreme winds or even fire, steel roof covering shields home owners from whatever Mother Nature can throw their way. For example, in a hail storm, a steel roof covering's solid framework protects against dents, dings and also other damage hail is recognized to create. Actually, homeowners in some areas get approximately a 30 percent decrease in their house owners insurance coverage for having a metal roofing system installed.
Will steel roof assistance learn this here now fight the rising price of power?
One of the most beneficial facets of steel roofing is its capability to protect a house. Not only does metal roof keep your home comfortable despite the climate outside, however it could really reduce a/c and heating bills.
Will steel roof covering fit with the design of my home as well as community?
Certainly! Metal roofing comes in a selection of designs, colors as well as surfaces and also Your Domain Name is made to look much like other popular types of roof covering product including cedar shake, slate, asphalt shingles and also clay floor tiles.
Where can house owners opt for more details on metal roofing?
House owners can most likely to www.metalroofing.com to find out more about steel roof covering, view the different designs readily available and take part in the "Ask the Specialists" area.

Excavation: The hardest job of my life (Part 3)
We started as we usually do by excavating a trench around the perimeter of the area to be lowered, followed by installing helical piles. This work took several weeks and at that point nothing unusual was really understood.
Helical Piles: The hardest job of my life (Part 4)
In June after the helical piles were installed and the mechanical under excavation around the perimeter we began the deep under excavation. The under excavation work is done with compressed air, and vacuums.
The hardest job of my life Part 5
In an effort to reach the middle of the slab that was surrounded by grade beams we embarked on excavating a 3 deep tunnel from the west side. From there we could access the area between the grade beams.
The hardest job of my life Part 6
After leaving the jobsite and returning to Phoenix leaving clear instructions on what was to be done, I felt good about our ability to finish up. After a few days of work by our crews, we again took floor level readings.
The hardest job of my life Part 7
During the course of work a long time elapsed….. from March until September. Right through the middle of Monsoon season. There were trenches dug around the area of excavation that filled up with water each time it rained.

Look up–way up. That’s where we’re headed. Where I-beams float effortlessly high overhead, carefully guided into place by powerful machinery. Where steel and glass converge in a colossal design that appears to almost touch the sky. These magnificent structures were elaborately designed and intricately built. Yet they all began the same way— with concrete and cranes, rivet and rebar, bulldozers and backhoes; and most importantly, a solid foundation. This summer, kids will don their hard hats and head to the construction site to discover that skyscrapers aren’t the only things that need a rock solid foundation.

Blackwater Bridge Replacement
The Blackwater Bridge Replacement encompassed the demolition of the existing masonry arch bridge, which carries the N2 National Road over the Blackwater River, north of Monaghan Town. The existing structure impeded the flow of the River, leading to severe flooding events, whilst also having exceeded its design life. As the main route connecting Dublin to Derry and used by over 12,000 vehicles per day, it was vital that the N2 would remain operational during the bridge replacement.Read More

Using rainwater for everyday plumbing tasks can significantly reduce your annual consumption of water, benefiting your pocket and the environment. Rainwater harvesting systems are a renewable solution for homes and businesses in Wandsworth and the surrounding areas, allowing property owners to collect and use natural rainwater rather than mains water. Our plumbers are experts in these systems, ensuring you enjoy all the advantages they have to offer.
Ecoheat Plumbing can install and maintain rainwater harvesting systems, as well as other renewables. For rainwater harvesting systems, we bury a large capacity tank which collects water through a filtration system. You can use this water throughout your home, garden or business.
You can use the water collected through a rainwater harvesting systems for all daily tasks which require water. This includes flushing the toilet, washing clothes and watering plants. Because rainwater is free, this will save you a considerable amount of money when compared to how much you would pay to use mains water for the same tasks.
Our plumbers find these systems can be especially beneficial for larger buildings and where properties in Wandsworth have a high demand for water.
With a rainwater harvesting system, you will greatly reduce the amount of mains water you consume. This means less water will need to be artificially drawn from the environment. Furthermore, these systems treat water through filtration, without the need for chemicals.
Opting for this renewable resource also has a positive effect on your carbon footprint because the energy used to treat and pump mains water results in greenhouse gas emissions.
Rainwater harvesting systems can lessen the load placed on drainage systems and help reduce the risk and effects of flooding. With professional installation from the plumbers at Ecoheat Plumbing, your system will efficiently channel run-off water into tanks for recycling.
This is particularly important in urban areas, like Wandsworth. Collecting and holding water on site will drastically reduce the volume of water which enters the main drainage system, reducing flood risk.
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method) is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method which many commercial building projects must adhere to. Depending on the grade that needs to be achieved, using rainwater can count towards credit needed to reach that grade, and our plumbers can help you maximise rainwater use.
Rainwater harvesting systems are good news for gardeners because they are exempt from hosepipe bans, if you do not have a mains water backup. This means you can keep caring for your garden throughout the summer, even if there is a ban on using mains hoses.
Furthermore, rainwater is more suitable for plants because it is free from hard water elements and is the correct pH for most plants. Consequently, having a store of rainwater allows you to provide optimal care for your garden and potted plants in Wandsworth.


Pile foundation is a foundation construction that can withstand the force orthogonal to the center of the building by absorbing diffraction. Pile foundation was made into a single monolithic entity that unites the base of which there are piles and under construction with pedestal foundation.
Implementation of each sapling erection work is done by means of the diesel hammer. Working system of diesel hammer is a tool with a beating so that it can cause a loud noise and vibration in the surrounding areas. That is why the type of foundation piling into separate problems to the environment, not to mention a way to bring equipment into the diesel hammer piling foundations are commonly used to Tronton truck crane (to raise and lower the mast hydraulic piling hammer that weighed 3-7 tons.
a. Types of piles
Generally there are two kinds of piles of small (mini pile) and large size (maxi pile).
1) Miniipile (small size)
Small piles used for low-rise buildings and land is relatively good. Size and strength are offered are as follows:
1. sectional shape triangle: size 28 is able to sustain pressure of 25-30 tons burden and the size 32 that is able to sustain pressure of 35-40 tons burden.
2. square cross-section shape: size 20 x 20 that is able to sustain pressure load 30-35 tons and measuring 25 x 25 that is able to sustain pressure load 40-50 tons
2) Maxi pile (large size)
These piles are round (spun pile) or box (square pile), Its use for large load on high-rise buildings. In fact, for sizes 50 x 50 can support up to 500 tons burden.


Abrasives Grains can be distinguished in a variety of ways- their hardness, color, chemical composition, crystal shape, and friability, to name but a few. Since the chemical composition- that is, the type of material- determines many of the other characteristics, we use that as the primary means of distinguishing one type of abrasive from another. Our variety are Brown Fused Alumina,ink Fused Alumina, Steel Grits & Shots. These grade aggregates are for use in industrial flooring to produce heavy-duty concrete floor. These treated slabs resist impact and withstand exposure to water, oil and chemical. The closely interlocking particles of the aggregate give excellent bounding. This is also use for making tiles and for road surface dressing.

The new headquarters of the fashion brand Stradivarius (Inditex group) was built in 2017, in one of the most important economic areas in the metropolis of Barcelona. In line with the trend-driven corporate vision of the brand, the latest and most energy-efficient technology was used for the construction of the office complex in Cerdanyola del Vallés.
For this reason, the facade design of the 33,000 m2 building uses an interactive design of vertical slats, recycled materials as well as native vegetation and sustainable rainwater harvesting.
In order to provide total sound coverage and due to the magnitude of the building, which required over 800 speaker points with more than 6,000 Watts, our Spanish partner OPTIMUS selected the VX-3000 public address and voice alarm system. The installation includes a number of different system frames (VX-3004F, VX-3008F), class D amplifiers (VX-050 DA, VX-030 DA) and power supplies (VX-3000DS) as well as remote microphones (RM-300X, RM-210F). Using various ceiling speakers and acoustic projectors, all areas of the new headquarters are acoustically covered at all times.


Software specialist Elecosoft has launched a new version of its flagship construction project management solution, Asta Powerproject to support the growing need for 4D BIM for project planners.
With the integrated BIM module in Asta Powerprojectv14.0.03 users can combine 3D BIM models with the project activity scheduling data in a seamless application to deliver a 4D time sequence, says the company. Used in conjunction with Bidcon, Elecosoft’s cost estimation solution, this version of Asta Powerproject is also said to deliver powerful 5D project planning that enables users to plan and track BIM project costings.
The continuing digital transformation of the construction industry and rising use of BIM in private, as well as public sector projects, means that construction project managers require tools that give them complete planning control, and crystal-clear visibility, to enable informed decision-making. Elecosoft say users have asked for more editorial control on data input, editing and reporting, which this update is designed to deliver.
New features in this release include the ability to:
- Add site objects, such as cranes or porta cabins, to the model display for an enhanced visual representation of how a site will appear at various stages of a project
- Click and drag on model objects for manual splitting for precise definition of where to split them
- Display a moving dropline across the bar chart during timeline simulation.
Jason Ruddle, Managing Director of Elecosoft comments: “Feedback from our customers always drives our product development. With the increasing use of BIM, maintaining a clear integrated view of project programmes with as built progress is becoming essential.
“In the next few years digital construction will become the norm, not the exception and our tools will play a role in helping users maximise the opportunities it brings not just for project efficiency, but business success.”

Cost effective roadside ditch maintenance.
The high cost of road repair has necessitated the use of machinery to clean and create drainage ditches. Without this maintenance, water is allowed to stand on and seep under road surfaces causing deterioration, which in turn requires more frequent and costly road repairs.
At Ditch Maintenance Services we provide an effective low cost solution to these drainage problems and alleviate costly road repair and replacement costs. Typical ditch maintenance using a backhoe and one or two dump trucks is very expensive when compared to the single operator DITCH MAINTENANCE SERVICES method of operation.
DITCH MAINTENANCE SERVICES truck – mounted Ditch Master uses a horizontal rotating auger to remove spoil material from ditch bottoms. Solid materials then travel through a three-stage conveyor mechanism and drop into a 8-10 cubic yard open dump body. Hydraulic drive units power the cutting and conveying mechanisms. The rounded ditch bottom created by Ditch Master gives more area for drainage and faster water flow.
The road surface is used as a general guide, with the operator controlling the forward motion through advancing the truck. The unit travels up to 1 mph when skimming and shaping, and uses slower speeds when doing deep renovation. Terrain and soil conditions dictate the speed of travel.
Ditches created or cleaned by DITCH MAINTENANCE SERVICES are environmentally friendly. Only the actual ditch space is disturbed during ditch renovation. Conventional ditch cleaning methods typically remove or disturb up slope vegetation by backhoe operations and this creates additional future erosion back into the ditch reducing the time needed before the next cleaning.
Ditches cleaned and maintained by DITCH MAINTENANCE SERVICES are more functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The equipment that DITCH MAINTENANCE SERVICES employs, only removes the necessary material from the ditch bed to restore optimal ditch function, reducing unnecessary future erosion into the ditch and minimizing the amount of spills that need to be transported to the spill dumping site.
- ‣Save up to 80 % of the normal costs for similar ditch cleaning work.
- ‣The single machine operation saves up to 65% in fuel usage.
- ‣Ditch cleaning operations can be staffed with one operator and whatever personnel are required to handle traffic.
- ‣Traveling at highway speeds, Ditch Maintenance Services is extremely mobile for “spot” ditching where it is necessary to alleviate immediate problems.
- ‣Our equipment has the ability to remove rocks up to 5 inches in diameter, sod, grass, small brush, bottles, cans and other similar debris.
- ‣This self-contained unit will free up motor graders and trucks, permitting additional operations to be accomplished simultaneously.
- ‣Our equipment can clean right up to most obstacles, such as mailboxes, culverts or across pipes.
- ‣Inclement weather seldom restricts operation of the Ditch Master.
- ‣Our equipment can operate in wet ditches where the use of a motor grader is prohibited.
