Our first building block
Arteron IM-1: Immediate Deployment Water Treatment System
We are now able to scale it’s inherent treatment process up and down in capacity and adapt it to different raw water sources.
In the context of distributed water infrastructure this is one in a range of different treatment technologies that we design and employ, where each of these ultra compact systems serve as fundamental building blocks in a remotely managed water network.
“Distributed infrastructure lowers capital demand. From the perspective of capital deployment it just makes sense.”
Distributed infrastructure is actually cheaper by easily up to 40% as compared to centralised infrastructure. Capital is also used more efficiently as you can roll out progressively and quickly. As each plant becomes operational (usually in a matter of weeks from fabrication to operation) it immediately begins generating revenue, unlike in the centralised model where the construction cycle is longer, often measured in years instead of weeks and no revenue can be generated until the plant and piping is operational.
Risk is also greatly mitigated, contained within the deployment and operation of each micro plant. This is further mitigated by the design of the plants which allow for the plant to be dismantled and moved to another site should the need arise, thereby protecting the asset.
A hard to access location, it is devoid of basic amenities such as power and clean water. The unit with a capacity of 35,000 litres/day provides clean drinking water for all the consumption needs of the school of approximately 300 students and teachers.
Salung is a small village in the district of Pensiangan. About six hours drive from Kota Kinabalu. The route there passes through Keningau town, Sook and Sapulut and several small villages before arriving at the jetty for the boat ride to Salung.
RS-1: In Action
It is a lightweight potable water treatment system producing an treated output capacity of 35,000 litres a day designed specifically for rural development areas, where access to placing a system can be challenging. The example shown in the photos illustrates our system deployed in a deep rural Sabah location, where the difficulty of transporting a system over a narrow wooden suspension bridge across a river to a rural school of 300 students is overcome. This would not be possible with competing alternatives of the same treatment capacity. The RS-1 system weighs 220kg and it is the smallest system in the category of rural support systems we offer.
ED-1: State of the Art
Now in its 4th generation, the evolution of our original IM-1 system, now dubbed the ED-1 (for Emergency Development) our current model represents years of optimisations and advancements on our original design. It is a better performer in every respect. A perfect choice for first responder emergency response teams, it is perfect for air logistics with unsurpassed performance, reliability and simplicity in operation and maintenance.
The Arteron ED-1 is a feature-packed Water Filtration System that is highly mobile and is designed for use in the most demanding situations and environments. The ED-1 weighs approximately 167kg and comes transport-ready in a rugged, medium-sized trunk and is ideal for use in small communities and for emergency advance teams.
Despite its size the ED-1 sacrifices none of the functionality of its larger sibling and shares much of the same underlying technology. Developed to meet the needs of crisis management professionals the ED-1 is a rugged, instant deployment water filtration unit that can meet the water requirement needs of up to 700 people, providing as much as 35,000 litres of clean potable water per day.
Its small footprint makes it the ideal solution to turn almost any available water source – from river water to wells to contaminated mains supplies – into potable water for the surrounding community.
RDG 720: System & Process
The RDG 720 Water Filtration System is a larger scale adaptation of our flagship IM-1. It is very similar in its applications and functions but larger in capacity and output to the IM-1.
It is built in a modular and flexible configuration and is well suited to tough environmental conditions.
It is also designed to be set in place permanently while still retaining the ability to be dismantled and moved easily should the need arise and is ideal for remote or inaccessible locations or as a water treatment solution for rural communities with poor quality water sources.

Picking the best roofing material for your house can be a secret for several home owners. With the number of choices readily available, it has come to be progressively tough to choose.
Over the last couple of years, residential steel roof has grown considerably in popularity as many homeowners have discovered of its sturdiness, while others have concentrated on the numerous designs as well as colors offered. Nonetheless, there is still a majority who are aiming to decipher the ideas.
Tom Black, executive director of the Steel Roof Alliance (MRA), answers the most common inquiries most property owners have about metal roofing:
Why should a homeowner consider metal roofing?
Steel roofing has lots of advantages. For example, steel roofs have a reduced life process cost compared to most conventional roof covering material such as asphalt or cedar as well as it could endure severe weather such as hail storm, snow, high winds in addition to fire. It's likewise available in many designs and also shades to fit virtually any home.
Exactly what is the total price of a steel roof covering?
Steel roofs can at first cost 3 to 4 times greater than traditional roof covering products, but home owners need to bear in mind that the regular asphalt or cedar roof covering needs substitute every 15 years. While asphalt or cedar roofs are at first less costly, when property owners Look At This take into consideration view publisher site the price of a steel roof expanded over a 60-year period, metal is the clear option.
Do metal roofs feature guarantees?
While most exceptional asphalt roofs will last from 12 to Twenty Years, steel could last greater than 60. That's why you'll locate most metal roofing with service warranties of concerning 50 years-- virtually four times greater than the majority of various other roof covering products.
Typically aren't metal roof coverings noisy?
Never. Metal roofing systems with strong sheathing as well as insulation control sound from rain, hail storm and bad climate equally as well as other roofing material.
Just how does metal roof take on severe weather condition?
Steel roof is the most long lasting roofing product available. Whether it's hail, snow, extreme winds and even fire, steel roofing navigate to this site shields homeowners from whatever Mother earth can throw their way. For instance, in a hailstorm storm, a steel roofing's solid structure prevents dents, dings and also other damage hail storm is recognized to create. Actually, property owners in some areas obtain approximately a 30 percent decrease in their house owners insurance coverage for having a steel roof covering mounted.
Will metal roof covering assistance battle the increasing expense of energy?
Among the most useful elements of steel roof is its ability to protect a house. Not only does steel roof covering keep your home comfortable no matter the weather outside, but it could actually reduce a/c as well as heating bills.
Will steel roof covering fit with the style of my residence and also area?
Absolutely! Steel roof covering can be found in a selection of styles, shades as well as finishes as well as is made to look just like various other popular kinds of roofing product including cedar shake, slate, asphalt roof shingles and clay floor tiles.
Where can property owners go for even more information on steel roofing?
Homeowners can most likely to www.metalroofing.com to get more information about metal roof covering, see the numerous styles offered as well as participate in the "Ask the Experts" area.


Mini Hydro Generator (Generate Electricity from Water Flow)
Electricity can be created when a stream of water hits a water wheel (turbine) attached to a generator. This water electricity generator is a G 1/2 hydro generator which can supply stable output voltage and current when water stream pass through.
This device includes a rotating wheel (turbine) + electricity generator + voltage stabilizing circuit and one rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, all contained in one device.
|Maximum working pressure||1.75 MPa|
|Recommend flow rate range||1.5~20 l/min|


After 6 and a half years of use, the low carbon technologies at Primrose Hill are all working well. Reduced reliance on grid electricity means the service charge is much lower, so the benefits of the technology are being passed on to residents.
Client Yorkshire Housing
Solar Village provides 79 affordable homes on two adjacent brownfield sites in a run down area of Huddersfield.
The scheme comprises 31 three and four-bed family houses arranged in two saw-tooth terraces, and 48 units housed in a three-storey apartment building. The apartment building has a crescent configuration and overlooks a private central courtyard with a sheltered south-facing garden area.
Larch timber cladding gives a warm and natural feel to the exterior of the buildings, and is complemented by timber windows and rendering.
All dwellings benefit from photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, and solar panels to preheat hot water. The design of the houses allow the panels to be orientated southwards for optimum efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions were minimised with the installation of the solar and pv panels, low energy light fittings, natural ventilation and gas combination boilers.

Transport is a key enabler of economic activity and social connectivity. While providing essential services to society, transport is also an important part of the economy and it is at the core of a number of major sustainability challenges, such as climate change, air quality, safety, energy, security and efficiency in the use of resources (EC 2011: Transport White Paper).
The overall mission of SOLUTIONS is to support the up-take of innovative sustainable urban mobility solutions in Europe and other regions in the world, in particular in Asia, Latin America and the Mediterranean. SOLUTIONS aims to bridge the “implementation gap” between the potential of innovative sustainable mobility and transport solutions and packages of solutions and the actual level of up-take and quality of the deployment mechanisms. SOLUTIONS will focus on testing the transferability of innovative sustainable mobility solutions around six thematic clusters, summarised on the right. SOLUTIONS as coordinating action will build strongly on previous and on-going projects and initiatives.
SOLUTIONS stands for Sharing Opportunities for Low carbon Urban transporTatION. This coordination and support action project is financed under the FP7 programme theme SST.2013.3-2 (Implementing innovative and green urban transport solutions in Europe and beyond).
SOLUTIONS' overall objective is to make a substantial contribution to the uptake of innovative sustainable mobility solutions in cities across the world by:

Ann Arbor is home to the world-renowned and sprawling University of Michigan. Pedestrian safety has long been a main area of concern for this city where a third of its residents are enrolled in college or graduate school. Both students and locals often travel by foot and are vulnerable to reckless drivers. To reduce pedestrian accidents and crashes, the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute will soon create over 20 smart intersections in Ann Arbor.
The project will turn these intersections “smart” by installing radar, cameras and infrared sensors. This will allow the intersections to send real-time movement and traffic data to nearby internet accessible and connected vehicles. Ann Arbor is no stranger to this type of technology. The city has been using intelligent traffic signals for years. As many as 3,000 vehicles have been interfacing with intersections throughout Ann Arbor since 2012.
A new initiative
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration awarded the University of Michigan a grant of nearly $10 million to fund the project. Reportedly, the new system will fill in gaps in the existing technology and follows a state-wide trend of building advanced infrastructure to support automated vehicles. According to the UMTRI Director, the project will provide immediate safety benefits and help to create a blueprint for a connected vehicle future. The smart intersections are scheduled for implementation in or around 2024.
Modern technological advancements are helping to save lives and create safer roadways for both motorists and pedestrians. However, technology will never be able to completely prevent accidents from occurring. Michigan residents who have suffered injuries or the loss of loved ones in pedestrian accidents may want to consider discussions with an experienced attorney. A successful claim could provide victims and families with much-needed compensation.


When it comes to building and construction materials, rigid foam insulation or rigid foam sheathing insulation is an excellent option if you are looking to cut back on energy use while also working to regulate the indoor temperatures. It is not all that uncommon for air leaks and holes that can cause your energy bills to rise significantly while your resources end up wasted. You can use this high-performance foam insulation as a way to seal up some of the air leaks and gaps that you may have in the walls.
Is Rigid Foam Insulation Effective?
Polyisocyanurate foam, which is often referred to as Polyiso, is a type of foam insulation that is known for having the highest overall R-Value rating per inch out of all of the rigid foam options. It carries a rating of R-6.5 to R-6.8, and it comes with a foil facing on each side that is reflective. This also allows it to serve as a decent radiant barrier.
Does Rigid Foam Installation Need To Be Covered?
If you are looking to have rigid foam installation installed along the interior of a building, it will have to be covered whether it is extruded polystyrene or expanded. Such a wall covering should also have a minimum amount of fire rating so that it can protect the insulation from any sort of quick combustion if there is a fire.
Can Rigid Foam Insulation Be Stacked?
You will often find that rigid foam can be stacked when used for exterior applications. Many people like to use this as a form of insulation that helps to improve efficiency. In most situations, you are not going to need to have an additional layer for a vapor barrier that is adjacent to the foam sheeting. You will usually see that such rigid foam sheets are going to be very resistant to moisture.
There are many benefits that come from using sheets of foam insulation, including:
Energy Efficiency – Because cooling and heating make up about half of the energy that is used in most homes in the United States, a product like rigid foam insulation that helps improve efficiency is critical. You can cut down on your energy bills and seal up air leaks by using insulation to limit heat transfer between the interior and exterior.
Moisture Resistance – As moisture passes throughout the walls, it can cause an increase in mildew and mold within the building envelope. If you have insulation appropriately installed by the professionals, it can act as a very effective moisture barrier.
Fire Safety – There are flame retardants that are added to these products to help keep fires from starting as well as to limit the amount of fire damage should one break out.
If you are interested in rigid foam insulation, we are here to help at StarRFoam. We feature high-quality EPS products, and we always guarantee outstanding customer service to bring you the results and experience you deserve. Get in touch with us now for a consultation or to learn more about how all of our foam insulation products are made.

Renewable energy technology is applied to harness the renewable energy sources in order to utilize them in the best possible way. Greater emphasis is given to renewable energy for it has zero impact on the environment which at present is reeling under a severe problem of CO2 emissions.
Renewable Energy technology involves the use of various specially designed equipments such as air source heat pumps, water source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, cylinders, fan convectors, underfloor heating and so on. A brief note on each of them follows.
Heat pumps are designed to capture the energy available in a particular source and channelize to its effective use. Air Source Heat pumps collect the heat energy from the air and use it to hot water, heating and air conditioning.
Cylinders are often relied upon to pump heat from outside of the building rather than within the building and hence prove to be cost effective. If they are supplied with mechanical power when fitted with a heat pump, they can be used for heating or cooling. Cylinders fitted with a heat pump are ideal for domestic heating and air conditioning.
Fan convectors perform a similar function to radiators which are used in central heating system. Fan convectors when used with heat pumps give high outputs despite space constraints. You can go for well developed fan convectors which are equipped with integral thermostats. They are available in wall mounted and plinth heater models.
Ground Source Heat Pumps are effectively used to collect the heat which is located below the ground at a relatively constant temperature. The heat so collected can be used to heat radiators, underfloor heating systems and even hot water. By installing a carbon footprint, you can enjoy lower carbon emissions; no fuel deliveries required and enjoy almost zero maintenance heating system.
Solar Photovoltaic – This form of renewable energy source can be used to harness free and abundantly available zero carbon electricity from the sun. A solar photovoltaic panel comprises of tile or module which contains photovoltaic cells which convert light into electricity. They are quite effective on cloudy days and hence relied upon to produce electricity proving to be a reliable investment. The benefits being a great reduction in energy costs, protection against future energy price increase, enjoy Feed in Tariffs through the Clean Energy Cashback scheme
Solar Thermal is a Renewable energy technology which collects solar energy within a copper pipework which is in connected with an aluminium absorber sheet. The lightweight aluminum absorber sheet enables optimum heat transfer. The solar thermal system provides almost 100% of energy required during summer months while in winter months almost 10 – 15% can obtained apart from other existing sytems.
Underfloor Heating – This technology is relatively invisible and silent form nevertheless provides heat effectively. When in use it occupies turns the entire floor area into a large low surface temperature radiator. This underfloor heating is just right for a distributing heat obtained through a heat pump. The underfloor heating works best with a screed floor construction and a suitable floor covering.
Water Source Heat Pumps – These pumps are used to collect heat energy from streams and lakes after prior permission and approval. Heat pumps can be used to pump river water and obtain the required heat energy, but this is possible only if the water is above 5 to 8°C. At the same time the installation procedure has to be done in proper manner for attaining its maximum benefits. The factors which deter the working of the water heat source pumps are oxygen, acidity and impurities. If expert consultation and advice is seeked for the installation and working of water source pumps, they are extremely cost effective and eco friendly.


At approximately 3:00 PM on April 27, 2012, Highway 16 was closed about 2 kilometres East of Topley, BC, due to a sinkhole under the roadbed. The sinkhole appears to extend under the entire road base. The highway has been closed and a detour has been constructed for light vehicles while a longer-term solution is being put into place.
The detour should be completely reinforced to carry light traffic, like cars and pickups, this afternoon.
Traffic has been piloted through the detour since this morning.
Work has already begun on exposing the sinkhole in order to place a temporary bridge over the hole for larger and commercial traffic to be able to travel through the affected area again.
More information will be posted here as well as on DriveBC and twitter @LDMLakes

Check back frequently for updates on the various construction projects happening at Runnymede over the next few years.
Update from Principal Hochberg – Monday March 20th, 2017
Phase Three of window installation began over March Break.
The beginning of the new window installation project is mainly a preparation stage. In order to ensure safety around the project, wood hoarding has been built in the all the classrooms that face Colbeck St. (South Side of School Building).
We are working with the project manager and the construction company to ensure that there is proper air flow in the classrooms and the students are in a comfortable learning environment. However, with the weather being unpredictable at this time of year and the temperatures fluctuating, it is requested that students dress in layers. Further information will be provided over the following days.
Thank you for your understanding.
Timeline: Summer 2016 & Spring 2017
We reached our fundraising target and construction on the playground has started! A total of $235,000 was raised by the Runnymede community to fund the Centennial Playground Project.
The climbing structures and basketball courts (Phase One) will be finished by Fall 2016, the painted play areas (Phase Two) will be finished by Spring 2017.
Concrete Floor Slab Replacement (North/Senior/“New” wing)
Timeline: July 2016 – Winter 2017
The floor slabs of the north wing ground floor will be removed and replaced. This is necessary due to settling and structural cracking in the interior partitions due to settling of the floor slabs. Some work is required on the east side of the same wing (injection of foam materials).
Work will begin in July 2016 with the west side of the wing (complete floor demolition). The work on the west side, affecting Rooms 115 and 116, will not be completed until January/February 2017.
The remaining portion of the work, affecting Rooms 117, 118 and 119, will be completed by the beginning of September 2016 so that those classrooms will be ready for occupancy when school begins. However, the corridors to these three rooms will not be available; instead, doors will be opened in those classrooms to allow for access from the exterior (i.e., the rooms will operate like portables, but inside the school). Students will be required to access these classrooms by entering from the outside doors on the east side of the building (Exit #8).
Three other classrooms should be complete by the New Year 2017.
The end product will be two new classrooms (including new windows) and two new washrooms.
Restoration of Masonry and Windows (East-West/”Original” wing)
Timeline: Summer/Fall 2016 and Summer 2017
Restoration of masonry and windows (“cluster columns”) is required due to corrosion of the steel columns between the windows. The windows will be replaced. This is a major undertaking and scaffolding will remain in place until mid-September 2016. There will be fencing around the building where windows are being replaced until the jobsite is safe. Anticipated completion is the end of October 2016.
This project will be completed in two phases: Phase 1 (north wall of the east-west wing) in the summer/fall of 2016, and Phase 2 (south side, along the Colbeck/kindergarten yard) in summer 2017. The phasing is necessary to allow for the Centennial Playground project to continue as planned.
Some Notes Regarding the Construction Projects
- Need for use of the turf field will be taken into consideration, and no heavy equipment will be located on the turf field
- Efforts will be made to keep children safe during construction (e.g., bringing materials in early each day to avoid crossing the path of children during the school day; following proper requirements for testing and handling of building materials)
- A representative from the full-year on-site child care centre (RAC) will be present at all meetings to address parent concerns.
- If you have any questions about construction projects at the school please speak to Principal Hochberg.

Surprising Foods You Should Never Put Down Your Drain


When you flush a traditional toilet, the same amount of water enters the bowl and removes the liquid or solid waste down the bowl each time. This is because the flapper rises in the tank and all the water leaves the tank and enters the bowl. There is a mechanism that allows new water to flow into the tank and another mechanism that lets the toilet know the tank is full and the water stops flowing. One thought that has evolved over time is the idea whether everything that enters the toilet needs the same amount of water to get rid of it. From this idea, the dual flush toilet was imagined.
The dual flush toilet works by the user choosing whether there is solid or liquid waste to flush and then picking the appropriate method to have water enter the bowl to remove it. Liquid waste would require less water and solid waste would require more. For some toilets, there is a choice of two buttons to choose from that will let the user know if there will be more or less water used in the flush. Other times, the toilets are set up for using the handle or using a button. Still, others have a handle, and the difference is whether you pull it up or push it down. Most toilets will have a visual reference showing either one drop of water or two, to let the user know whether they are choosing more water or less to flush with.
What are some advantages of this system? Most of the waste that is put in the toilet is liquid, so this can result in a significant reduction in the amount of water used each day when flushing. Using less water for flushing can result in a reduction in water costs. What’s great about this is that it will have a cumulative effect and you will continually save water each month with this method.
Another advantage is less strain on the water supply. Putting less of a strain on the water supply is helpful for the environment and the local water in the area you live in. Additionally, this allows your septic system to run better as well. If your area has any type of water regulations that require low-flow options, the dual flush toilet conforms to this.
There are many advantages to having a dual flush toilet. Manufacturers have made these types of toilets in a variety of styles and colors to match any décor, so there are options for any look you are trying to create.


“Most of us have grown up in cities built around the automobile, but imagine for a minute, what our world could look like if we found a way to take most of these cars off the road. It would be a world with less traffic and less pollution. A world where we need less parking — where streets can be narrowed and sidewalks widened. It’s a world where we can construct new housing and small businesses on parking lots across the country — or turn them into green spaces and parks. That’s a world built around people, not cars." - John Zimmer, Lyft co-founder
With more people living in cities than ever before and new technologies on the horizon that will undoubtedly impact the urban landscape, how will we use design to shape the future of our cities around the people who live in them? Join Lyft and friends to explore urban design and transportation with a perspective on ride-sharing, last mile transportation, and the upcoming autonomous future.


Geosynthetics (GSY) are construction products, at least one of whose components is made from a synthetic or natural polymer material, in the form of a sheet, a strip or a three-dimensional structure.
These products are employed in geotechnical applications, where they are installed appropriately in contact with the adjacent soil. The generic term geosynthetics comprises product groups such as geotextiles, geogrids, drainage mats, geosynthetic barriers and geosynthetic erosion control products. The functions of these products are separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, protection, barrier function and surface erosion control. In many fields of application, such as in landfill construction, geosynthetics take over the major barrier function. In this application, the long-term behaviour is to be proved for more than 100 years. Therefore appropriate tests and inspections are essential.
The following links will help you to learn more about the world of geosynthetics.
Under "Products and Test Procedures" you will find a wide range of tests we can offer. If you have a request for testing your product, don't hesitate to contact us!


Dirt Work / Excavating / Asphalt Extensions
Removal of grass, dirt, stumps, trees, unwanted landscaping, etc., in order to prepare for a new asphalt surface.
Asphalt Paving Procedures
Most often base work is needed. This consists of removing any inadequate material (clay, excessive loose rock) which will not give us a solid foundation for the new asphalt. This is followed by bringing in quality base rock required for your project’s stability and longevity.
Grading for Water Drainage
The proper grade is crucial for achieving the maximum life of your new asphalt driveway or parking lot. (Standing water is damaging and will increase the rate of deterioration of your asphalt in that area.)
Laying the proper amount of asphalt for your project need which is determined by the amount of predicted traffic and weight of traffic (no cutting corners here!).
Our dual drum vibratory roller rolls the freshly applied asphalt soon after it is laid out to achieve maximum compaction. Every step is crucial to reach your asphalt’s maximum strength and life expectancy (30+ years).
Installing new gravel driveways or freshening up your existing driveway.
Hauling and delivering gravel or larger rocks/boulders.
(price includes: tonnage delivered + hours + total project miles
Aprons / Patching
When water, snow and ice seeps into the pavement, then refreezes, the asphalt heaves up, causing cracks and deterioration. Let Asphalt Solutions repair and patch them for you.
Sunken driveways and aprons can be a sign of greater damage to your driveway or even your foundation. There’s quality and care in every step we take to repair your sunken driveway:
– Saw cut and remove up to 3 feet of asphalt apron (amount varies to create proper drainage)
– Add new class 5 (base rock) to exposed area and fill eroded foundation
– Compact new base so there is no further settling or drainage issues
– Apply and rake new HOT asphalt to create seamless transition from garage to driveway
– Compact new asphalt to match existing driveway’s durability and texture
Asphalt Surface Milling
Grinding down a portion of the old asphalt surface 1″ – 2″ in order to remove the deteriorated surface and make room for an asphalt overlay.
Full Depth Reclamation
A powerful reclaiming machine grinds the old asphalt into road base by pulverizing the full thickness of the old pavement while also blending it with a portion of the underlying base material. This process enhances the strength of the new base.
Existing Asphalt Overlay
1″ – 1.5″ asphalt is applied over the existing asphalt surface and compacted. Note: Cracks in the underlying existing asphalt will reflect through the new overlay within the next couple of years. This is due to shifting of the underlying slab in the spring and fall. (This service is usually followed soon after with a crack route and hot tar crack fill.) If cracks are maintained in this way this can be a great cost effective solution for certain properties.

If you have a wood shake roof you may be considering switching to an asphalt shingle roof for a number of reasons. In fact, the benefits of switching from a wood shake shingle to an asphalt shingle are so great that many insurance companies now require it when doing a roof replacement.
At Titus, we have years of experience in helping customers convert their roofs from wood shake to asphalt. Here is s short list of the benefits of doing so.
- Longevity: Asphalt shingles typically last between 20-30 years, while wood shake shingles typically last between 15-30 years. This means that homeowners who switch to asphalt shingles can expect a longer lifespan for their roof, potentially reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
- Cost-effectiveness: Asphalt shingles are often less expensive than wood shake shingles, especially when you consider the longer lifespan of the asphalt shingles.
- Fire resistance: Asphalt shingles are classified as Class A, B, or C depending on their fire resistance rating, with Class A being the most fire-resistant. In contrast, wood shake shingles are classified as Class C, meaning they have a lower level of fire resistance. This can be important for homeowners who live in areas prone to wildfires or other fire hazards.
- Low maintenance: Asphalt shingles are low maintenance and require little upkeep. Unlike wood shake shingles, which can rot, crack, or become infested with pests over time, asphalt shingles are durable and can stand up to a variety of environmental conditions.
- Weather resistance: Asphalt shingles are also more resistant to weather-related damage, such as wind, rain, and hail. This is because they are made from a tough, flexible material that can bend and shift with changes in temperature, rather than cracking or splitting like wood shake shingles can.
- Energy efficiency: Asphalt shingles can also help to improve the energy efficiency of a home. This is because they have a reflective surface that can reflect sunlight and reduce heat buildup in the attic, helping to keep the home cooler and reducing energy costs.
- Aesthetics: Finally, asphalt shingles are available in a variety of colors and styles, allowing homeowners to choose a look that complements their home’s style and enhances its curb appeal. This is a major contrast to wood shake shingles, which typically have a more natural, rustic appearance that may not be to everyone’s taste.


How do system boilers work?
System boilers provide hot water directly to your central heating system and they produce hot water for a sealed storage cylinder within your home. Like a conventional boiler, they store hot water. However, unlike a conventional boiler, they take their water directly from the mains rather than from a tank in the loft. This means they take up less space.
All heating and hot water components in our system boilers are contained within one compact arrangement. The only external part of the system is the cylinder that stores the hot water. This makes the systems tidier and it also means that installation and servicing is easier and more efficient.
Because they feature a storage tank, system boilers give you a greater hot water capacity than combi boilers. They allow you to use multiple taps or showers at the same time without experiencing a reduction in pressure. This means the appliances are ideal for large or busy households with more than one bathroom. Another feature of system boilers is that they provide water at higher pressure than conventional boilers.

The basic advantage of solar street light is it reduces the operational cost. Solar street lights are independent of the efficacy grid consequential to conical operation costs. Solar street lights are also environment friendly because it’s work on panels are exclusively dependent to the sun hence eliminating your carbon footprints contribution.
The sun is an in-exhaustive, reliable, non-polluting source of power. Concerns over global climatic change, local air pollution and resource scarcity make photovoltaic (PV) an increasingly attractive energy supply technology. Using solar energy with LEDs instead of CFL provides a very efficient solution.
Solar powered outdoor lighting products are ideal for lighting the area in remote locations where the electricity is unavailable or erratic. Even in urban areas, these find great usage to reduce dependency on conventional power and contribute towards green energy. Reliable and long life makes this solution effective in fulfilling our present and future lighting requirements.
Benefits of solar street light?
Street lighting provides lots of important benefits. It can be used to promote security in urban and ruler areas and to increase the quality of life by synthetically extending the hours in which it is light so that activity can take place. Street lighting also improves safety for drivers, riders, and pedestrians.
What is solar street light?
Solar street lights are raising light source which are powered by photovoltaic panels generally mounted on the lighting arrangement or integrated in the pole itself. The photovoltaic panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a shining or LED lamp during the night.
Solar Street Light
What is the use of solar light?
A solar lamp also known as solar light or solar lantern, is a lighting system composed of an LED lamp, solar panels, battery, charge controller and there may also be an inverter. The lamp operate on electricity from batteries, charged through the use of solar photovoltaic panel.
How do solar street lights work?
The solar street lights comprise of, which absorb the solar energy during daytime. The photovoltaic cells exchange solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery. At the nighttime the lamp starts automatically and it consumes the electricity already stored in the battery.
Do solar lights need sun or just light?
Photovoltaic cells absorb sunlight during the day to charge the batteries, which then light the bulb at night. Because solar lights are powered by the sun, they must be placed in an area that receives full sun ideally eight or more hours per day.
Do solar lights work on cloudy days?
The fact is that while cloudy and rainy days definitely block the sun, your solar lights are still receiving a charge. The clouds are diffusing the strength of the sunlight but the panels will still charge on cloudy days. Therefore your lights will only operate on that fraction of time as well.


Hotel rooftop bar delay
Gerald Apartment Hotel is set to open in January but delays on the Geraldton CBD rooftop bar will push back its opening date.
Hotel general manager Grant Pitman said the team was “120 per cent dedicated” to getting the bar — named The Old Man and the Sea — open but required one final approval for the liquor licence.
“The liquor licence has progressed well — we’ve had no objections and have the support of local police,” he said.
“However, we need to have an engineer sign off on the structural strength of the building, basically to show the roof can support a bar on top.”
He said there were no existing structural plans for the building, previously known as Town Towers, which had slowed the final approval of the licence.
Mr Pitman joked about a grand prize for anyone who could find the structural plans.
“If someone can find and bring me these plans, they can have free drinks for life at the bar,” he said.
Mr Pitman said if he did not find the structural plans, he would seek other options, including building a new structural floor over the existing floor.

Total Pump pressure control, Safety Shutoffs and Floatless tank fill.
That’s the IC Pump Station, designed by P2Flow LLC. Four simple touch control buttons. No confusing manuals. No tangled wires. The IC Pump Station control unit uses advanced technology to eliminate pump panels, phase converters, soft starts, “pump savers”, pressure regulating valves, float valves and costly radio control and telemetry equipment.
Why choose IC Pump Station?
In IC Pump Station, you will find all of the fluid pump control function you need in one simple, afforable unit, at a fraction of the cost of elaborate, hand-built pump control systems. IC Pump Station routinely replaces water pump control systems costing $20,000.00 or more while providing great reliability and ease of use.
We offer both on-off and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) models and a “hybrid” model that provides both on-off and VFD functions. VFD (variable speed) water pumping is exciting new technology that uses the speed of the pump motor to maintain the desired pressure and rate of flow that eliminates pump panels, phase converters, soft starts, “pump savers” and pressure regulating valves. The IC Pump Station control unit can also monitor motor current (amperage) to detect a no or low flow condition such as and stop the pump to allow the well to recharge. It will restart the pump after a time delay to get the maximum water out of marginal wells without pump damage.
On-off IC Pump Station models are electronic pressure switches with fully adjustable low pressure on and high pressure off settings and can be used as a “smart” replacement for Mercoid switches. In fact the IC Pump Station control unit is so accuate it can be used as a “floatless tank fill”. The IC Pump Station control maintains the correct tank storage water level even if the tank is located a long distance away. This is done by sensing the pressure in the pipe going up to an elevated tank. The higher the pressure the higher the water level and the operator can adjust the pump on and off levels to suit their particular installation. Time delays insure stable stable operation.
The IC Pump Station control can also be used with a compressed air source to determine the water level in a below-ground tank installation or a “dip tube” installation in a drilled well. The concept is simple: The higher the air pressure in the sense tube the higher the water level. The IC Pump Station control can then be adjusted to turn on and off at the right times for proper pump operation.
Safety shutoffs are also included. Most pump systems are ruined rather than wearing out. A water pump needs a certain amount of water flow to lubricate the seal. Without that lubrication, your pump will sieze up, resulting in a costly repair or replacement. IC Pump Station prevents “run dry” break down as a minimum pressure must be maintained for 30 seconds continuously or the pump will shut off. Time delays are implemented for stable pump operation. If the IC Pump Station control unit prevents even one pump breakdown it will have paid for itself many times over.
P2 Flow Founder & History
P2FlowLLC was founded by Britt Storkson more than 20 years ago. A Horticulturist by education, Britt extensively researched water pump controls to create the IC Pump Station control unit. That combined with dramatic improvements in the electronics used to make these controls resulted in a reliable, easy to use water pump control unit.
Britt’s vision for the IC Pump Station began when he realized that most pumps are ruined by an interruption in appropriate water flow, rather than simply wearing out. A water pump that runs dry will result in damage to the pump seal. The result is a leaky pump that will either need a costly repair or complete replacement.

Moss is an unsightly and damaging problem to concrete tiled roofs, especially if your tiles are over 20 years old. The problem is that moss retains rainwater like a sponge, drawing dampness through already porous roof tiles, not only causing wet rot, but additional weight stress to your roof timbers.
Moss roots grow into concrete tiles taking in water which freezes in low temperatures - ice expands and the tile crumbles leaving a bullet-like hole for rainwater to pour through.
In my experience, people have their roof power-washed and leave it at that - this is a mistake as it still leaves the roof wide open to the elements.
After a power-wash, damaged tiles should be replaced and cement pointing re-done and then, most important of all, sprayed with Algon anti fungal solution to protect tiles.
