Working drawings may be used to give a detailed description of the current state of your experimental apparatus and as common graphics in oral design reviews. Working drawings may be highly detailed and may present exact specifications. Identify working drawings with an explicit title and the date and be sure to show tolerances and exact measurements and, if necessary, a scale of measurement on all figures.
As-built drawings are the final set of drawings produced at the completion of the project. They include all the changes that have been made to the original construction drawings, including notes and any other information that the builder decides should be included. The original drawings are typically produced using computer-aided design software.
To understand how as-built drawings are created, it is helpful to understand the process of developing construction drawings. The developer of a project will hire an architect to design the building. These design professionals will use the owner’s ideas and requirements to create construction drawings for the project. Once the owner has approved these plans, they are submitted to the local permitting agency to obtain building permits. This final set of plans is often known as the “permit set” or “100% construction drawings.”
As the builder begins work on the project, he will use the construction drawings to lay out walls, run electrical wiring and construct the remainder of the building. During this process he may run across unforeseen conditions that require items to be installed differently than they are shown on the plans. For simple changes, he will often simply work the problem out himself and note the changes on his set of building plans
We can also assist with emergency evacuation layouts and sapoa rental diagrams. All these drawings are colour coded for easy understanding


• Development of a geometric system
• New structural system
• High performance and precise thermal and acoustic characteristics
• New connections and compatibility with complementary systems
The smart choice of materials and geometric morphologies will allow highly productive mass manufacturing, safeguarding increased environmental sustainability and unparalleled cost reduction for the construction industry. The energy efficiency ensuing from the structure and characteristics of the components, associated with the low probability of construction errors occurrence, will allow, in the use phase, highly energy-efficient and, consequently,
Important social impacts will be ensured by the possibility to construct high-quality and energy-efficient buildings, with much lower costs and deadlines than the market average, enabling more citizens to purchase and live in ecofriendly buildings throughout the building’s lifecycle. The system will also reduce the complexity of the building’s acquisition and construction process. Software will be developed to allow customers to design, budget and order their ideal home, with definitive prices and deadlines. Furthermore, an intelligent logistics software will be developed, which will integrate orders with component stocks and delivery procedures.
The consortium also considers that the construction industry does not give the due importance to the making of healthy building environments. Thus, an innovative and modular indoor air quality monitoring system will be developed, 100% integrated with the MICADO system, enabling healthy buildings in a simple, safe and affordable way.

Sustainable Architecture: Ecological Engineering in the Modern Era
At the forefront of contemporary engineering endeavors stands sustainable architecture, a response to the pressing need to alleviate environmental decline and tackle climate change. In the 21st century, the ethos of sustainable architecture has transcended mere environmental awareness to embrace a comprehensive approach integrating social, economic, and ecological facets. This shift has heralded a new cohort of engineers—visionaries committed to devising groundbreaking solutions that not only mitigate environmental harm but also foster social equality and economic prosperity.
Central to sustainable architecture is the concept of ecological engineering, a discipline striving to synchronize technological progress with environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional engineering practices, which often prioritize immediate gains at the expense of long-term ecological repercussions, ecological engineering prioritizes environmental stewardship in the design process. It is anchored in principles of resource preservation, pollution mitigation, and lifecycle assessment, with the aim of minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency throughout a product’s lifecycle.
A cornerstone of ecological engineering is biomimicry, drawing inspiration from nature to devise inherently sustainable solutions. By studying the intricate systems and processes of the natural world, engineers can develop technologies emulating biological strategies for energy efficiency, waste reduction, and material optimization. Examples include buildings with self-cooling mechanisms inspired by termite mounds and wind turbines mimicking bird wing aerodynamics. Biomimetic design provides a blueprint for sustainable innovation rooted in nature’s wisdom.
Beyond biomimicry, ecological engineering encompasses various strategies aimed at reducing environmental impact and fostering sustainability. This entails embracing renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, offering clean alternatives to fossil fuels and curbing the carbon footprint. Moreover, it underscores the significance of energy efficiency and conservation, advocating for the development of energy-efficient technologies and sustainable building practices.
In the realm of construction, sustainable architecture principles are reshaping urban planning and building design. Architects and engineers are increasingly integrating passive design techniques such as natural ventilation, daylighting, and thermal insulation to minimize energy consumption and enhance occupant comfort. Furthermore, the adoption of sustainable materials like recycled steel, reclaimed wood, and low-emission concrete is gaining traction, reducing embodied carbon and promoting circular economy principles.
Beyond construction, ecological engineering is revolutionizing transportation, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. Electric vehicles fueled by renewable energy are displacing their fossil fuel counterparts, curbing greenhouse gas emissions and improving urban air quality. Meanwhile, advancements in additive manufacturing and 3D printing enable the production of intricate geometries with minimal material waste, revolutionizing traditional manufacturing.
Nevertheless, the transition to a sustainable future presents challenges. Despite strides in ecological engineering and sustainable architecture, obstacles persist, from technological constraints to economic hurdles and institutional inertia. Addressing the environmental crisis demands urgent, coordinated global action, necessitating collaboration among governments, industries, academia, and civil society to enact effective solutions.
In conclusion, sustainable architecture and ecological engineering epitomize 21st-century engineering, offering a trajectory toward a more sustainable and resilient future. Through innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to environmental stewardship, engineers can forge a world where human creativity harmonizes with the natural environment. As we confront the perils of climate change and environmental degradation, the tenets of sustainable architecture illuminate the path, inspiring us to construct a better world for posterity.

Electronic highway signs show commuters that trains are a viable alternative to freeway trafficIRVINE - Caltrans and Metrolink have jointly developed a pilot project to show commuters that trains are a viable alternative to freeway traffic. Both train and freeway travel times are now displayed on electronic highway message signs near the Fullerton and Anaheim train stations."For travel between Orange County and downtown Los Angeles' Union Station, trains are often faster than freeways," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "We want to give commuters real-time information to help them get to their destination quicker."The train and highway travel is being displayed weekdays on the northboundInterstate 5 and westbound State Route 91 electronic signs located closest to the Anaheim and Fullerton train stations. The travel times will resemble the message shown here:DOWNTOWN LA MINFWY 5511:55 TRAIN 40"This pilot project will highlight the time a commuter could save by taking a Metrolink train, but that's only one of the many benefits of opting for public transportation over driving your car," said Metrolink Board Member Paul Glaab. "Commuters can also save money, have a positive impact on the environment, and enjoy a stress-free commute. We hope this project will encourage Southern Californians to get familiar with their public transportation options."Caltrans provides the freeway travel time information using data collected from its vehicle detector stations throughout the freeway system. Metrolink provides train travel times, which include Amtrak and Metrolink train departure and trip duration information.
If memory serves, this should be only the initial rollout of a larger system of such messages along the LOSSAN corridor. They should also act as a useful visual aid for encouraging more investment in the rail corridor to improve system speeds.


High throw important for factory recirculation
Vostermans Ventilation Inc installed a number of Multifan Basket fans 130 in the construction areas of a wire production company. The major reason for the manufacturer to purchase this type of fan was the high throw (146 m). Each fan covers a large area in the production plant, providing a quiet breeze for the employees at a low investment level. Due to the fact that the fan moves high air volumes (48000 m³/hour), pleasant working conditions are created. The Multifan Basket fan is also recognized for its low maintenance level and low energy consumption.

A concrete carpenter manufactures formwork into which concrete is poured. This formwork can be made of both metal and wood. The concrete carpenter is supplied with construction drawings for a construction project in order to subsequently make the correct formwork. The formwork is then used when pouring the concrete for, for example, foundations, walls, floors and other structures that require concrete. The job of a concrete carpenter comes with a lot of responsibility as the rest of the construction work cannot begin until the foundation has been fabricated.
Civil Concrete Construction
By this we mean the making of new concrete constructions on the road and water network in the Netherlands. Think of building bridges, viaducts, aqueducts, tunnels, locks, flora and fauna passages, etc.
Construction & Utility
Large buildings, such as apartment complexes, factories, office buildings, are seen as non- residential projects and the making of ground-level homes (low-rise) falls under Construction. As a specialist in concrete construction, we only make projects in the Non-Residential sector in this sector.
What is formwork?
A formwork is a mould, usually made of steel, plastic or wood, into which concrete is poured for casting foundations and constructions of buildings (e.g. floors, columns, walls, beams and elevator shafts). The function of the formwork is to hold the concrete and reinforcement in place during and after pouring. After the concrete has cured, the formwork is removed.
The traditional formwork method takes place with a wooden formwork plate, supported by wooden uprights and purlins. This formwork is usually assembled on site and used once.
System formwork is a special type of formwork, made up of separate elements that can be mounted separately. These systems are programmed in advance and must be assembled on site and placed in the correct dimensions. After the formwork has been deposited and cured, the formwork can be loosened and reused. Additional parts can also be added or removed.
Known names of system formwork:
Wall formwork – with wide slab floors the walls are first cast into the formwork. This is usually a steel wall formwork that is pre-programmed for the project. This includes all facilities, window openings and door openings. After removing the wall formwork, props with beams can be placed in the beech, on which the wide slab floors can be laid, after which the floors are poured.
Strip foundation – for housing is intended to make the foundation for the ground floor. The channel plates are laid on this; these are prefab floors A. strip foundation can be made with traditional formwork or with system formwork. There are several suppliers of this.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in civil concrete construction;
- Read working drawings;
- Demonstrable experience with system formwork such as Doka Peric Noe, Paschal and Meva
- Being able to make traditional formwork, independently

Subsequently, the organization led a number of statutory planning projects like the Development Plan for Gandhinagar, Development plan for Bhuj and reconstruction of the walled city of Bhuj through Town Planning Schemes, city development strategies for Junagadh and Veraval etc.
In 2004, a new entity EPCDPM was spun-off as a for-profit company that would undertake the planning and policy consulting projects while EPC would continue to focus on research, advocacy, training and publications related to planning and urban policy. Since then, EPC has been involved with research and advocacy on a number of important issues. EPC, along with ITDP, was responsible for early advocacy for Janmarg – the highly successful BRT system in Ahmedabad. EPC has also participated in a number of collaborative research papers published in journals of national and international repute. Most recently, EPC and ITDP have collaborated on a guide for street design for urban India.
Currently, EPC is exploring the issues around affordable housing for the urban poor, the issues of slums, integration of land-use planning and transport planning and statutory process for facilitating transit oriented developments (TODs). Our work involves close collaboration with local, state and national government and we frequently associate with other non-profits and allied agencies. Going forward, EPC will continue to refine its approach and focus on the issues of housing affordability, integration of land-use with transportation planning, urban planning and development policies. Alongside we will look to build on our experience around environmental sustainability especially around water issues, urban infrastructure, disaster mitigation and preparedness etc.
Our work involves frequent work with GIS, preparation of communication tools like posters, presentations, white papers etc. EPC has a team of planners with background in architecture, engineering, geography etc. We encourage diversity and divergent streams of thought that often lead to unique and creative solutions to urban issues.For further information contact:

Up until COVID 19 hit, New York residents relied on its public transportation systems and roads to get everywhere. The world has changed, and this event will discuss how transportation will rebuild and reshape the city and state. It will bring together experts across sectors to assess the current state of New York’s transportation systems, break down recent legislative actions, and look towards the future of all things coming and going in New York.
Welcome and Introduction
Keynote Speaker Rick Cotton, Executive Director, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
How Coronavirus Is Reshaping New York’s Transit Systems
When the pandemic hit New York in the Spring ridership in the city’s transportation system shut down by 90%. Subways were overwhelmed with homeless people, buses were empty, streets were closing. As the summer came and went, the government began to urge New Yorkers to get back on the subways and buses with safety and cleaning protocols in place. Leaders urge that this is a time of improvement with smart new technology improving the transit system, NYC ferries, e-bikes and scooters. What does the future of public transit look like going into the Winter and 2021 and what will happen to all of the public-private projects that had been planned or started?

Moving New Yorkers Safely
Although many people are still working from home, for those commuting, the concern is that traffic will be worse than ever. However, equally or more important is their safety, regardless of the transportation method they choose to use. The city has put forth policies to improve the safety of all commuters, most notably Vision Zero and initiates to make transportation cleaner. Our panel will assess the success of these efforts while also looking forward to other future efforts including adding new technologies, lowering the speed limits, redesigning streets, bike lanes and intersections to increase pedestrian safety, piloting connected vehicles, developing new rules to limit delivery gridlock, and more.

Stainless steel is inherently superior to many other tubes
Stainless steel is inherently superior to many other pipe materials and has been proven by many years of practical experience both at home and abroad to be a century-old green pipe with the lowest life cycle cost, the highest overall performance and great potential for growth. The thin, strong oxide film on the stainless steel surface provides stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance in all water qualities, including soft water, excellent corrosion resistance even when used in the ground, and good erosion resistance.
Must promote the use of stainless steel water pipes. Stainless steel pipe strength is very high (galvanized pipe is 2 times, steel pipe 3-4 times, PPR pipe 8-10 times), but also has good ductility and toughness, low temperature does not change brittle; on the collision can have a strong (Austenitic stainless steel absorbs 2.5 times more energy than carbon steel during deformation), good shock and impact resistance, excellent wear and fatigue resistance, good high temperature strength, excellent fire and heat resistance Radiation performance.
Stainless steel thermal conductivity is low (is the steel pipe 1/25, is the pipe 1/4), thermal expansion and contraction slow. Stainless steel pipe high grade, the price is not high. In fact, the choice of stainless steel pipe not only investment is not high, the most noteworthy is its very low life cycle cost, which is the economic advantages of other materials unmatched by the biggest advantage.
In the construction of plumbing, since the galvanized steel pipe has ended a hundred years of glorious history, all kinds of new plastic pipe and composite pipe developed rapidly, but all kinds of pipe to varying degrees there are some shortcomings, can not fully adapt to the water supply pipe Department needs and national drinking water and related water quality requirements. Therefore, the experts predicted that: building water supply pipe will eventually return to the metal pipe era. According to foreign application experience, it is concluded that the thin-walled stainless steel pipe is one of the pipes with the best overall performance in the metal pipe.
The successful development of stainless steel pipe is safe, reliable, hygienic and environment-friendly, economically applicable, pipe thinning and a new type of reliable, simple and convenient connecting method make it more irreplaceable for other pipe materials. The application in engineering will be more and more , The use will be more and more popular, the prospect is good.
In many cases, stainless steel pipe has more advantages, especially the thin-walled stainless steel pipe with a wall thickness of only 0.6 ~ 1.2mm, which is safe for drinking water systems, hot water systems and safety and hygiene water supply systems Reliable, health and environmental protection, economic and other characteristics. It has been proved by domestic and foreign engineering practice to be one of the best water supply system comprehensive performance, new type, energy-saving and environment-friendly pipes and also a very competitive water supply pipe. It is sure to improve water quality and improve people's living standards. Comparable effect.
With the implementation of China's reform and opening up policy, the rapid growth of the national economy, the massive construction of urban residential buildings, public buildings and tourist facilities put forward new requirements on the supply of hot water and domestic water supply. Especially water quality problems, people pay more and more attention to the requirements are also constantly improving. The common pipe of galvanized steel pipe will gradually withdraw from the stage of history because of its corrosiveness under the influence of relevant national policies. Plastic pipe, composite pipe and copper pipe have become common pipe materials of the pipe system.
Stainless steel water pipe is a longevity life expectancy low cost materials, green health materials, sustainable development of environmentally friendly materials. Developed countries based on human health first and life cycle cost considerations, the application of stainless steel water pipes have become increasingly popular. After China entered the 21st century, especially after China's accession to the WTO, it is also in urgent need of improving product quality to change plastic pipe and composite pipe far from being able to fully meet the needs of water supply pipelines and meeting the current state of drinking water quality requirements of the country, so as to maximize people's living standards The goal of quality.

If you own a soft-story apartment complex in a region of the US that's susceptible to earthquakes, now's the time to retrofit your property. If you're not sure what a soft-story structure is, consider the way your apartment complex was built. If the first floor of your apartment complex is an open floor plan, and the floors above aren't, chances are good that you have a soft-story apartment complex. This is especially true if you have a parking structure under your apartment complex.
A lot of families like spending time outside in the back because of the peaceful experiences they can enjoy. If your family is similar, you might want to renovate this space. Using the following outdoor living space design tips, your ideas can come to life in a cohesive and impactful way.
Focus on Areas You Spend the Most Time Around
To have some direction for how to design an outdoor living space around your property, really think about areas you already spend a good amount of time in.
Even though asphalt is a strong-enough construction material to withstand heavy usage and constant exposure to the elements, like everything else, it requires maintenance for it to serve you over an extended period. Routine asphalt maintenance ensures that it doesn't prematurely succumb to the pressure of always being in use.
If you like how asphalt makes your paving look, you should apply the necessary preventative measures to ensure it maintains this professional appearance.
Managing a commercial facility is no easy task. Aside from mapping out your daily operating activities, you need to think about property maintenance. Without regular upkeep, your commercial property may fall into disrepair, which could lead to expensive building repair costs.
The plumbing system in your commercial building is one of the things you must include in your property maintenance checklist. A well-maintained commercial plumbing system not only ensures a sufficient supply of potable water but also promotes the efficient removal of wastewater and raw sewage from the property.
Before you have a new roof put on your commercial building, look into the benefits of a spray foam roof. Spray foam is suitable for nearly all types of commercial buildings, and it has some benefits worth considering. Here are some of the advantages of choosing commercial spray foam roofing when your building is ready for a new roof.
Spray Foam Roofing Has No Seams
An advantage of spray foam roofing is that it forms a continuous protective barrier on your roof that keeps out rain.

RAIN GARDENS: They will ease strain on the municipal sewer system and keep pollutants out of lakes, streams
Rain gardens can be an attractive and effective way to reduce storm-water runoff from your roof, driveway and other surfaces in your yard.
By installing a rain garden, you can ease the strain on municipal sewer systems and help prevent harmful pollution such as road salt, heavy metals and oils from entering lakes and streams.
In the natural hydrologic cycle, storm water slowly infiltrates into the soil. There, it is naturally filtered and cleansed of some pollutants, is used by plants and replenishes the water table. In contrast, storm water runoff in urbanized areas usually flows quickly from hard surfaces, such as roofs and driveways, carrying pollutants into sewers that eventually empty into lakes and rivers. The increased volume and frequency of high flows can overload sewers and the pollutants can harm water quality and habitat for aquatic species.
Rain gardens are planted or stone-covered beds specifically designed to receive storm water and allow it to be absorbed into the soil. Typically, rain gardens contain perennials, shrubs, grasses or ferns that can tolerate both wet and dry conditions and are adapted to your climate and your specific soil and sunlight conditions. You might also choose to cover the rain garden with loose, hard materials, such as pea gravel or river stone.
Although relatively easy and inexpensive to design and build, there are a few things you need to consider. The two most critical technical considerations are: the water must seep into the soil and not stand in the bed for more than two days; and the rain garden should not create drainage problems on your property or your neighbour’s property.
The best place to put a rain garden is at a low point on your property or somewhere along an existing drainage path. A relatively flat area with slopes less than 12% is ideal. Be sure to place it at least four metres (13 feet) away from your house foundation, septic beds or neighbouring homes to ensure you direct storm water away from vulnerable areas.
Rain gardens do not work well on clay soil because drainage in clay is slow. If your soil has a higher clay percentage, you will need to add sand, fine gravel and/or organic matter to improve permeability.
Rain gardens are often designed to capture roof rainwater runoff via a downspout extension, a swale or an underground pipe. Your downspout extension should be inserted right into the rain garden, but, to prevent erosion, place a small bed of pea gravel, decorative pebbles or a concrete splash pad under the extension. If possible, also have the downspout discharge onto a lawn area that drains into the rain garden.
Having a reasonably accurate estimate of the amount of rain water that will flow into it from your roof and lawn, and how quickly the water will be absorbed by the soil, will help you determine the best size of rain garden for your property.
Source: London Free Press (By Mark Salerno)
Also see Save Water & the Environment with a Rain Garden. Another way to reduce stormwater runoff is by harvesting rainwater and collecting the rain water in rain barrels or rainwater tanks. The rainwater stored in water tanks on the property can be used for household purposes and garden irrigation. Simple rainwater systems can be installed where the water tanks are placed beneath gutters and then gravity is employed to irrigate the garden/lawn at the lower end of the property. Water pumps can also be installed at the water tanks so that the rain water can be pumped to wherever it may be required.

The Obrassi project was born in 2009, during the crisis of the construction sector in Spain. It was driven by technical architects José Peralta and Carlos Cortés. They decided to create a company facing the collapse of the Spanish market, covering various fields of construction, mainly characterized by management transparency and honesty. The past experiences first-hand lived with companies that do not meet the payments to their suppliers and workers, protected by impunity caused by the general severe economic situation, made that one of the main objectives of Obrassi is precisely the payment guarantee to all producers.
Nevertheless, the main foundation of our company policy is to obtain the highest quality level in every project we undertake.
To accomplish this, we have the best possible arguments:
- Planning and technical advice
- Qualified personnel carefully selected
- Collaboration of the best auxiliary companies in the construction sector
We offer our experience in performing all kinds of works, having taken part in the construction of over 2,000 homes, 3 and 4 stars hotels, warehouses and distribution platforms, restoration of protected buildings as well as performing numerous renovations of all types in homes, residential areas, etc..


Asbestos Survey & Assessment Reports
TAILORED TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Our Field Technicians are experienced, skilled specialists in asbestos sampling. We offer a range of services from domestic sampling to full commercial assessments and surveys. Our clear, concise reports contain sample locations, maps and photographs, corresponding to the analysis.
EIAG offer a range of surveying and assessment services including:
Management surveys (Previously known as Type 1 and 2 surveys)
A management survey is a standard survey. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ACM within the assessed area which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition. This type of survey is essentially intrusive without being destructive and as such is intended for management of asbestos during normal building use and not for managing refurbishment or demolition projects. To achieve these objectives the survey involves taking samples of possible materials containing asbestos to identify possible ACM’s as per the client’s request. An asbestos register is included within this type of survey.
Demolition/ Refurbishment surveys (Previously known as Type 3 surveys)
Conducted prior to the commencement of demolition works or major refurbishment works and involves partially demolishing the structure to ensure ALL suspect materials are detected (e.g. wall cavities, blind service ducts, etc). This type of survey is used to locate and describe as far as practicable all ACMs in the building and may involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to access. An asbestos register is included within this type of survey.
Are conducted when a building has been exposed to asbestos during refurbishment, demolition works or natural disasters. This type of survey is intrusive and involves partially demolishing the structure to ensure ALL suspect materials are detected, along with consulting any prior asbestos surveys of the building and conducting both bulk and filter sampling to establish the level of contamination within an area.
Are undertaken to determine the current condition of the asbestos containing materials and provide recommendations for future maintenance. The assessment concentrates on the likelihood of fibre release from ACMs. A material risk score is given for each ACM and considers four main parameters to determine the risk of fibre release:
- Product type
- Condition (Extent of damage or deterioration)
- Surface treatment
- Asbestos type
A risk assessment also involves assessing the airborne fibre contamination in surrounding areas of an asbestos product, as that is where the real health risk lies.
We are willing to share our knowledge, so if you have any queries regarding your property or business, or need advice on anything asbestos related, please call or email us at EIAG. We will work with you to provide the most appropriate solution.

Many accidents involving vehicles are the fault of a driver or specific factors dealing with passengers, behavior, other drivers or conditions caused by drivers. In other instances, road issues may cause collision or accident on its own.
These issues may be caused by disintegrating roads and bridges, broken cement blocks, traffic cones, debris from broken pieces of road or road construction. Though many states have roads that may cause these accidents periodically, Illinois is the highest rated state with the worst roads in the United States.
Reasons for Deterioration
Because road construction and repair requires funding, often many roads’ repairs take time before they are funded and completed. This funding ensures bridges are solid and passable, roads are smooth and drivable and debris and disintegrating parts of the streets are clear. Fair to poor conditions may lead to accidents with multiple vehicles causing injuries and death. Without the funding to ensure safety, roads may be the hazard instead of drivers.
Roads usually have a life expectancy of about 20 years. It is when that time is exceeded that the damage starts to become a problem. With this must time passed, regular maintenance is ineffective. Basic plowing and resurfacing will only become an aesthetic to the major underlying issues. When the damage or age is extensive, a total or complete overhaul is required to update or return the road network to working order.
Bridges that are unsound may pose a danger to groups of people. Structurally deficient bridges eventually either fall apart completely or must be repaired entirely to remove the risk of danger to everyone in the vehicles that pass over them.
Freeways and highways remain a potential danger to all drivers due to driver behavior and other hazards already present in traffic. When the roads are in disrepair, the problems increase in frequency and scale. These streets may find potholes, uneven lanes, narrow shoulders and crumbling edges. The disrepair may cause an individual to lose control of the vehicle he or she is driving, leading to a collision that causes death or serious injury.
Another danger is when repairs begin. Road constructions and reparations tend to lead some drivers to collisions. They may end up in accidents by avoiding construction, swerving away from people in the road and maneuvering in areas that have been incorrectly fixed. The worse the damage to the road, the more is needed to resolve the issue. This may lead to further accidents as more of the road is taken to resolve the situation.
Materials used for construction and repair may cause a driver to lose vision of part of the road. Warning signs may be in the incorrect place. Closed lanes slow drivers down and may lead to collision. Speed limit decreases only affect those that follow them. For those that speed, the
slower driver may become a hazard. Construction vehicles may take up the road, drive very slowly or congest traffic. Attention and caution are of the utmost importance in these areas. Safety should be a great concern when surrounded by construction on the road.
Signs of Disrepair
By being aware of the signs that roadways need improvement, drivers may be able to avoid some accidents. Common signs of disrepair include faded areas of pavement or markings in the ground, potholes and cracks. Uneven lanes or areas of pavement tend to move the vehicle more than when there are even lanes. Guardrails may become damaged over time or when an individual has run into them. These may lead to further accidents. When signs have been knocked over, damaged or covered by nature, this is a sign that routine repairs may not be completed.
Liability Due to Road Conditions
In some states, it is the government and private businesses that are responsible for designing and building safe roads. For accidents caused by the road, or when the road is a contributing factor to the collision, compensation may be sought from governmental or business representatives who breached their duty to maintain safe roadways.
Federal, state and local governments may specify duties of these entities responsible for the roadways. The duties may include providing adequate space on the roadway so that emergency vehicles can pass, displaying construction warning signs and maintaining areas where it is safe for drivers to pass.
For issues with the road, liability may lie with those responsible for hazards found. It is important to contact an attorney at Edelstein Law, LLP for all information regarding these issues to obtain compensation for any and all issues related to road hazards leading to collision.


By Stephen Pevar, Senior Staff Attorney, ACLU
STANDING ROCK INDIAN RESERVATION, N.D. — President Trump’s executive order yesterday has an impressive-sounding title: “Expediting Environmental Reviews and Approvals for High-Priority Infrastructure Projects.” What the title really should say, however, is: “How to Make Money for Big Oil Real Fast Despite the Human and Environmental Costs.”
The executive order makes no reference to the Dakota Access Pipeline, the 1,100-mile pipeline being constructed to carry nearly 500 million gallons of fracked crude oil from North Dakota to Illinois each day. Yet expediting the construction of DAPL is the obvious goal of the executive order. In fact, Trump signed a presidential memorandum at the same time he signed the executive order, stating his belief that construction of the pipeline would “serve the national interest.”
Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t mention in either the executive order or the memorandum that completing the construction of DAPL will require the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to issue a permit allowing the pipeline to be constructed underneath the Missouri River, just north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota. He doesn’t mention that the route of the pipeline was first planned to traverse land further north until white landowners complained, causing a change in the route. He doesn’t mention that a leak of oil in the Missouri River would not only threaten federally protected water rights belonging to the Standing Rock Sioux but would pollute water used by some 18 million persons. He doesn’t mention that completion of DAPL would destroy sacred sites of the tribe. And, finally, he doesn’t mention that the owner of the company building DAPL contributed more than $100,000 to his election campaign.
Trump wants to expedite “high priority infrastructure projects.” But whose “priority” is really being served here?
The Obama administration recognized that the pipeline has the capacity to cause catastrophic misery and loss if it ruptures. Consequently, the Army Corps announced that a comprehensive study must be conducted into the project’s potential environmental impact before a permit could be issued. The Obama administration also confirmed that under federal law DAPL cannot be approved until proper consultation with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is completed. Moreover, under international legal principles, our government should seek the informed consent of indigenous people prior to undertaking a project on federal land that threatens their health and welfare.
Yet Trump seems determined to rush the approval process.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe strenuously argues that construction of the pipeline would violate its rights under federal treaties and statutes. Those are issues that may ultimately need to be litigated. At this point, however, Trump apparently agrees that the law requires the Army Corps to complete the environmental impact assessment and determine the threat to the environment before going ahead with the pipeline. The Trump administration should therefore allow the Army Corps to take the time it needs to conduct a careful and proper assessment of environmental impact, both to the general public and to the tribe.
Two interrelated questions which should be answered are: What risks are we willing to take to help big oil move fracked oil from North Dakota to Illinois, and was the choice of this route influenced by the fact that a leak would immediately impact an Indian tribe rather than white landowners?
Stephen L. Pevar’s book, “The Rights of Indians and Tribes” (Oxford 2012), is available here.


New Albany has taken another major step toward improving its water system.
New Albany Light, Gas & Water has been approved for a federal grant of $1.3 million to help pay for new water lines along much of North Street, as well as add a water tank, booster pump station and two new wells to its system.
The money will go along with a $1.7 million 30-year federal loan for the project. The city also is awaiting word on a $650,000 community development block grant needed for the North Street project.
The utility plans to replace a nearly 80-year-old water main along North Street, as well as a section of Broad Street, that affects the water quality of about 70 households in the area.
One of the wells will be dug in BNA Bank Park and the other east of the city limits near an existing well, according to Bill Mattox, manager of the utility. The booster pump will be added on Denmill Road near the post office.
Work is likely to start on the North Street project by September. Work on the wells and mumping station will begin soon, he said.
Since Mattox was brought on board to run the city utility, significant strides have been made in trying to deal with the city’s longstanding water issues – a source of frequent complaints from city residents.
We think Mattox and the utility continue to take progressive steps important to the city’s future.

Summary of Outcomes
- GMSV-SEISM efforts need even more coordination. Monthly webconferences were discussed.
- GMSV TAG projects of Lin et al and Rathje et al also need to be tightly coordinated with the GMSV SEISM efforts.
- In particular, validation using the simple ground motion parameters that are common amongst the projects (e.g., significant duration) should be very tightly coordinated. In fact, calculation of these parameters should be added to the Broadband Platform (BBP). Validation figures analogous to those currently generated on the BBP for elastic spectral acceleration could also be generated for the additional simple parameters.
- Click here for a preliminary candidate list of "simple" (and other) ground motion parameters for which validation could be added to the BBP.
- A bullet should be added to the Science Collaboration Plan for comparisons of simulated versus recorded ground motions for different models of the regional geologic structure.
- An organized effort to incorporate geotechnical site response into SCEC ground motion simulations should be encouraged in the Science Collaboration Plan. Perhaps a separate Technical Activity Group should be established for this effort.
- Validation of CyberShake in support of the UGMS Committee is needed and important, and a few investigators have already begun this, but at this stage a group effort that is analogous to the BBP validation project is likely premature. For now, additional individual but coordinated projects on the topic should be encouraged in the Science Collaboration Plan. In particular, investigations of observed vs. simulated region-specific path effects for small-magnitude earthquakes should be encouraged. Ground motions for many small-magnitude earthquakes can be found in the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) NGA-West2 database.


An audit into the mapping of potholes in England has been launched by transport secretary Grant Shapps. This will work to identify ‘pothole hot-spots’ so that roads are in top condition as people return to work and school.
Combining collated data on current potholes held by nationwide businesses, and the most up-to-date bank of roads imagery in the country from Gaist, the Department will be able to paint the most comprehensive picture ever of where funding is most needed to make sure roads are not plagued by potholes. The plan will help cyclists and motorists get back to school and work.
The Government has already committed £2.5bn in funding for pothole repairs in the biggest nationwide programme ever announced. The launch of the review comes as new data reveals that highway maintenance works undertaken in the past months when roads were quieter during lockdown has led to 319 miles of resurfacing.
Grant Shapps said: “I want our roads to be as safe as possible, so during the lockdown we’ve resurfaced hundreds of miles of road. But now I want to go further by identifying critical potholes and ensuring these are fixed as quickly as possible.
“We’re teaming up with delivery companies, who know the roads well, in order to map out where remaining potholes exist and then relentlessly target them with our record £2.5bn to pothole repair fund.
“Better road surfaces benefit motorists and cyclists alike ensuring the back to school and work environment is safer for everyone.”


A new outdoor swimming pool and an extension to the building opened recently at the Reykjavík Swimming hall. The building and the pool were designed by VA architects but the old building is one of Reykjavík´s most known buildings. It was designed by Gudjon Samuelsson in the year 1937. The aim of the design, for the new building, was to build a wholesome dialogue between the old building and the new one. Choosing of the material and the colors were all based on the old building and in order to prevent the new building from shadowing the old one it was made out af glass to make it transparent.
Liska´s employees designed the lighting in the new swimming pool when they worked for Verkís and later Verkís finished the project. The lighting design aim was to improv and highlight the architectural values. Therefore it is well worth it to visit the swimming hall in the evening to enjoy the architecture and its atmosphere.
Here is an interview with the architects (starts in minute 15).


Usually it’s lattice boom crawler cranes getting recognized when it comes to wind turbine installation, thanks to their boom lengths, considerable counterweight, and turbine strength. All of this power is needed to lift the many heavy components of a wind turbine. However, even before a lattice boom crawler crane can make it to the location where the turbine is to be assembled, heavier-duty, tougher machines are needed to haul the parts in place. That’s where the Terex RT 100US came in when IEA Constructors, Inc. needed it.
Constructing the Upstream Wind Energy Center
On rent from RTL Equipment, the Terex RT 100US was brought in to take on a project just north of Neligh, Nebraska. Eighty-one 2.5 megawatt (MW) General Electric wind turbines make up the Upstream Wind Energy Center and are in place to produce 202.5 MW of energy. That’s enough energy to supply every household in Neligh and several in the surrounding area with power.
Rough Terrain Cranes: Unsung Heroes of Wind Farms
First things first: ground preparation must take place before the turbines can get to work for the community. Rough terrain cranes were brought in to do the heaviest lifting, including laying the rebar and steel cages for the bases before concrete could be poured. This is incredibly important work and must be done correctly the first time, so that each turbine is able to withstand high winds and harsh weather, as well as the force generated by the blades themselves.
RT 100US Boasts Automatic and Manual Transmission
Crane Assembly/Disassembly Director, Roger Galloway was impressed with the RT 100’s ability to work in a tight space, while carrying out its heavy-lifting duties. “The RT 100US crane has a small footprint, which means less ground prep work and less money spent on site preparation.” Plus, manual drive is available as well as automatic, which allows the operator to have that much more control. When using automatic, the crane swiftly drives to and from tower sites. Craner operators appreciate the manual transmission when the terrain is especially difficult.
Timelines Respected with Terex
Not only did the RT 100US need to be strong enough to handle such a precise and important job, it had to do so within a strict timeline. Rebar installation mustn’t take longer than six hours and the crane had to place reinforcing rebar panels, which weighed up to 7,000 pounds each. Mike Hedrick, the crane operator on the job, said, “A typical base construction job requires roughly 25 to 30 picks to place the material. The Terex crane allows me to efficiently move the rebar panels into place and adjust the boom from 40 to 100 feet, depending on where they are needed.”
Integrating the Demag IC-1 Control System
An impressive 13,000-pound bolt cage filled with concrete sits in the middle of the rebar, creating a secure base. Thanks to the Demag IC-1 control system integration (new to the Terex RT 100US), the operator had full control. Hendrick could control the dial-down swing function and valve speeds.This allowed him to gain more accuracy, thus saving the entire project time. Galloway added that the RT 100US was actually the better choice over a 130US capacity class crane when it came time to place the cage.
A bonus of the IC-1 control system is that it allows multiple opeto choose their settings. This, again, cuts down on operating time. When a new operator arrives to relieve the previous operator, they can simply choose their pre-set preferences.
Saving Time with the RT 100US
On this particular job, there were four cranes on hand and many times, one crane needs to return to the site to complete a turbine tower base. That means taking the time to prep and load a crane, transport it back to the site, unload it, and prepare it for work. With the RT 100US, it’s tough enough to withstand transportation without issue, so it can get right back to work on the project, minimizing downtime.
Buying or Renting Rough Terrain Cranes from RTL Equipment
It goes without saying we were pleased with how well the Terex RT 100US handled the extensive job IEA Constructors needed. However, we aren’t surprised. Terex has been on the leading edge of crane innovations for years. That’s why they’re one of the brands we’re proud to offer both for sale and rent. Our professional sales staff is on hand and ready to discuss which machines would work best for you and your next job.

Pune Metro’s Aqua Line: Approaching the Finish Line
The much-awaited completion of the Pune Metro’s Aqua Line, stretching from Bund Garden to Ramwadi, is reaching its final phase. Maha Metro, the overseeing authority, is gearing up to initiate preliminary trials at the end of this month. The elevated viaduct and signaling infrastructure along this critical stretch have reached advanced stages of readiness, setting the stage for testing procedures to commence.
The Aqua Line, which includes a section between Bund Garden and Ramwadi, is a pivotal piece of the puzzle. Once this segment is open to the public, it will provide access to the entire 15.7-kilometer Metro route, significantly transforming Pune’s transportation system. Maha Metro is committed to completing the remaining work on two metro routes by the end of the year, following the successful launch of two critical sections in August. This ambitious objective is being vigorously pursued by a dedicated team focused on delivering a seamless and efficient metro service to the public.
“We are in full swing to complete all the work up to Ramwadi by November. We have already received feedback from commuters requesting an extension of the Metro service to Nagar Road, connecting key areas such as Yerawada and Kalyaninagar to the city’s central zones,”
Pune Metro: Routes and Significance
The Pune Metro Rail Project encompasses two prominent corridors: the north-south corridor (Purple Line) and the east-west corridor (Aqua Line), covering a total length of 33 kilometers and featuring 30 strategically located stations. The Aqua Line, currently operational between Ruby Hall and Ramwadi, primarily consists of elevated tracks. This Metro line serves bustling areas such as Yerawada, Kalyaninagar, and significant portions of Nagar Road, providing commuters with a convenient and swift transportation option to the city’s eastern regions.
Finalization of the Crucial Project
The finalization of the last phase of this crucial project is under severe pressure, with teams working intensively. They are focused on constructing overhead traction and signaling systems at the stations while maintaining the viaduct between Bund Garden and Ramwadi. Additionally, the Civil Court to Swargate Metro stretch of the Purple Line, which is still under construction, is expected to be fully operational by December. This expansion will increase the Metro’s coverage from its current 24 kilometers to an impressive 33 kilometers, facilitating seamless travel from Vanaz to Ramwadi and PCMC to Swargate.
In addition to the existing network, Line-3 is in the pipeline. It is led by the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority in partnership with Tata-Siemens. This 23-kilometer fully elevated network will serve the Hinjawadi IT park and several emerging areas, significantly improving the daily commute experience for a significant portion of Pune’s workforce.
The imminent completion of the Pune Metro’s Aqua Line is a milestone that promises to revolutionize transportation in Pune. With expanded coverage and ongoing developments, the city’s metro network is on track to provide a more efficient and convenient commuting experience for its residents. As we look ahead to the trials and future projects, Pune’s metro system is poised for a bright and transformative future.

Iuka Gets $150,000 Grant
Three other communities also received assistance. Wayne City received a $150,000 grant to design a new water treatment plant. Avena Township in Fayette County received $116,200 to design water main replacements and a water line extension. The township will provide an additional $3,000 in funding for the project. Sailor Springs in Clay County will receive a $66,000 grant towards an $81,250 project to design a storm water separation system.
The Governor's office say a total of $1.2-million dollars in grants were released to 11 Southern Illinois communities. The Governor's office says the announcement is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to create jobs and bolster the state's infrastructure while improving health and safety in Illinois.
The investments are being made under the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Development Assistance Program, which targets areas with populations of less than 50,000 that are outside of urban counties. The funds originate from the U.S. Department of of Housing and Urban Development and are administered by the Department of Commerce and Economic Development.
DCEO Director Adam Pollett says investing in sanitary public works projects will not only directly benefit health and quality of life, it will also help create job opportunities in the communities receiving assistance.

A Certified Roofing Contractor-Your best Option
The life span of your roof depends on numerous factors; type of roof, quality of product, and direct exposure to extreme weather condition elements among the top. With regular maintenance and normal weathering elements, a roofing system can last anywhere from 10-- 100 years.
Typical roofing material such as built up roofing typically lasts 12-- 20 years, metal roofing 15-- 40 years, wood shake or shingles 10-- 40 years, asphalt shingles 15-- 20 years, and specialty material like slate up to 100 years under excellent conditions.
Leakages begin as little cracks in roofing material that might not show up; water might collect in a nearby location. To detect such damage, a close inspection of the roofing might be needed.
An accredited roofing contractor can be contacted us to prevent additional damage to the roof, or injury to the property owner triggered by trying to check it his or her self. A roof examination must be performed each year; continuous weathering by sun, heat, rain, snow, cold, hail, and wind can trigger roof material to break down. An accredited roofing roofing company Manhattan contractor will understand what to search for.
A roof and soffit system must be properly vented to prevent over-heating and wetness retention, 2 factors that can trigger a roof to break down prematurely.
Picking a Qualified Roofing Contractor
A certified, experienced professional deals various services. From totally detaching an old roof and replacing it with a brand-new one, to examining and "licensing" an existing roofing. The latter is a process in which the roofing system is checked and "ensured" to function correctly for a specific time period; read more generally 2 years. The professional takes duty for any essential roofing repair during that period.
A qualified specialist is educated of roofing system types, materials, and installation treatments finest fit to each task, and will make sure there is appropriate venting.
Ask possible roofing specialists questions such as whether or not they are certified and bonded. Ask which roofing item manufacturers they are certified and approved by, for installation of items and warranty functions.
Several resources are available to find a qualified roofing contractor; recommendations, city government licensing agencies, and website that use contractors for hire, or a list of professionals who are certified and bonded.
