LAKE GEORGE — Nitrate levels dropped dramatically last year in Lake George groundwater and select streams in the West Brook watershed, thanks to the new technology at the Village of Lake George Wastewater Treatment Plant that went online in February 2022. “It’s one of the best success stories since I’ve been here,” said Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky.
The previous treatment plant, built in the 1930s, has kept Navitsky up at night for two decades. Because of it, he says, excessive amounts of nitrates (a nutrient that contributes to harmful algal blooms) entered West Brook, a gateway stream to Lake George, for 50 years.
In 2014, an initial water quality monitoring program conducted adjacent to the old facility revealed enough nitrates to advocate for a new treatment plant. By 2018, work on the future treatment plant technology was underway. That’s when Navitsky and Jim Sutherland, LGA Council of Science Advisers, expanded their regular monitoring of two wells near the treatment plant to include a well installed by the Town Highway Department on Gage Road, two seepage streams in the slopes along the West Brook floodplain, and West Brook itself.
Each year, findings are shared with the Village, and 2023 was no exception — except it’s the first time there were no state pollutant discharge elimination system (SPDES) permit violations from the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for excessive nitrate levels. The report also cites an impressive decrease of nitrates in seepage streams that flow into West Brook.
“This is very good news,” said Navitsky. “I commend the Village and plant operator Tim Shudt for the incredible work they’ve done with the construction and operation of the new wastewater treatment plant. Results are dramatic and will have incredible benefits to the water quality of Lake George.”
The monitoring, however, did turn up elevated chloride concentrations in one of the wells near the plant. The source of the chloride is not identified and requires additional research.


The state transportation department doesn’t expect to start replacing the Massasoit Avenue bridge near the “White Church” over the Barrington River until mid-summer next year – about 15 to 18 months later than originally planned.
If that occurs, completion of the new bridge won’t be until mid-2015 – after two years of construction.
“We’re optimistic we can advertise the project (for construction bids) late this summer,” said David Fish, managing engineer for bridge engineering for the RI Department of Transportation (RIDOT). “We expect to begin work by mid-2013.”
As stated previously, said Fish, traffic will not stop during the work.
“We’ll be keeping two lanes open at all times,” he said, “with the new span to be built just north (about 24 feet) of the existing bridge and open to traffic by the spring of 2014.”
Fish said the new RIDOT timetable is contingent on getting approvals soon from several other agencies, including the Department of Environmental Management (DEM), the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC), the Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Coast Guard.
“All those agencies are in the process of reviewing plans for the bridge,” Fish said, with approvals anticipated in the near future.
Barrington officials were warned by Fish that bridge work could be delayed because of changes preferred by the town for the bridge, particularly the addition of two more feet of clearance over the water and other environmental concerns. See Patch story. That has come to pass.
Of particular concern, said Fish, is the impact of construction on wildlife, such as the rare diamondback terrapins in Hundred Acre Cove north of the bridge, winter flounder and shad.
To lessen and, perhaps, eliminate any impact on the river bottom, he said, RIDOT will be erecting “steel sheeting in the river to separate worker” from the wildlife and to “not disrupt the river bottom.”
DEM also has asked RIDOT to work with Barrington on reducing vessel speeds in Hundred Acre Cove. Fish said that will involve Harbormaster Ray Sousa and the Harbor Commission.
“We want to try to move the 5 mph wake zone farther south in the cove,” Fish said.
Moving the zone farther south is expected to lessen the possibility of boats running over the terrapins, which tend to inhabit the northern part of the cove – a prime environmental concern.
RIDOT Director Michael Lewis also met last Tuesday morning with a variety of advocates calling for making the bridge more bicycle-friendly -- especially for students who use it for going back and forth to Barrington High School within sight of the bridge.
Tim Faulkner of Barrington, one advocate, said: “This bridge will be here for 50 to 100 years. We want to explore all options for bike traffic before it is too late.”
Making the bridge as accessible and usable as possible for bikers is the goal, he said. Among the ideas suggested are the erection of warning signs for motorists about bicycle traffic and striping on the bridge to delineate a bike path – especially as bikers and motorists near the ends of the bridge at intersections with County Road and Massasoit Avenue.
Fish said Lewis has asked him to coordinate a meeting with town officials and Faulkner to try to incorporate as many ideas as possible into the design.
“Tim had a bunch of good ideas,” Fish said. “We want to incorporate as many ideas as possible without affecting the overall scope of the project.”
Faulkner said he anticipates another meeting to be held soon with RIDOT and Barrington officials and other bicycle representatives.
The principal plan for the replacement bridge calls for it to be two-feet higher and one-lane wider with low density lighting to minimize glare, navigational lights, and no-fishing signs only on the center span of the five spans to be built over the water.
The additional height of the bridge is expected to boost boat traffic in the cove even as it improves access for emergency and rescue boats at high tides – the primary reason the Town Council wants a two-foot higher bridge.


The flue pipe set includes a flue pipe, support collar and rain collar.
The flue pipe can only be directly used in buildings with no heat insulation or suspended ceilings. If you are planning to install a Tundra Grill fireplace in a building that has heat insulation or suspended ceilings, you will need a custom-made fire-insulated flue piping. When building a fire-insulated flue piping, it is advisable to contact the local fire safety authority.
The flue pipe is intended to make sure that the heating chimney routed through the roof is located a safe distance from the roof structures. The flue pipe is taken inside the building through a hole made in the roof from the outside, and it hangs on its support collar on the roof top. The chimney parts are routed through the flue pipe into the building from the outside and attached to the smoke hood of the Tundra Grill.

When engineering feats fail, there is often a toll of resulting injuries. But when everyone escapes seemingly unscathed, the injuries may run deeper than they first appear.
On 2 November 2005, at approximately 2 a.m., the Lane Cove Tunnel was under construction when the roof of the tunnel collapsed, causing the land above the tunnel to give way. There were several tunnelers working inside the tunnel when the roof began to collapse. The collapse necessitated the evacuation of the construction workers and 60 residents that were in the vicinity.
WorkCover NSW conducted an investigation into the incident, and the collapse was considered to have been caused by a multitude of factors including the geological conditions of the tunnel, the distance from the surface, the width of the tunnel and inadequate roof supports. It was reported that the tunnelers “narrowly escaped injury” when they made it out of the tunnel before it collapsed. However, nearly 5 years on, that is clearly not the case.
BPC Lawyers is representing one of the construction workers who escaped the tunnel collapse with minor physical injuries, but today remains haunted by his brush with death, and has suffered significant psychological injury as a result of the traumatic events he lived through.
Later this year, proceedings will commence in the Industrial Relations Commission to see if the entities involved in the tunnel’s construction satisfied their legal obligation to provide a safe system of work. Once those proceedings are concluded, our client will be able to forge ahead with the action for his unseen but deeply felt and lasting injury.

Two years ago, it was reported thatMicrosoftA large-scale reconstruction of Redmond's headquarters park is planned to accelerate rapid access between buildings by creating more centralized designs. Microsoft plans to dramatically improve the current decentralization of buildings by rearranging and planning 72 acres (29,1373.6 square meters).
Today, GeekWire, the foreign media, has exclusively obtained the scenario planning and vision of Microsoft's new campus. It is clear that this multi-billion-dollar reconstruction project will create a good office environment for Microsoft employees. Part of the current project includes the demolition of buildings in the 1980s and the construction of more modern locations, possibly equipped with the latest and best technology provided by the company and its partners, as well as more fashionable business environments, such as open office space, better conference rooms and leisure areas.
Although Microsoft is at a relatively early stage of the project, some employees may enter their new office in 2022 and 2023, and the park will be connected to the light rail from downtown Seattle to Redmond. The preliminary plan of the project is to demolish the original two-storey buildings (with a total area of about 929,000 square meters), including buildings 1-6 and 8-10. Then 17 new buildings will be built with a total area of 279,000 square meters and 8,000 additional employees.
Although Microsoft specifies most of the content of each building, including the materials used, the company hired LMN, NBBJ, WRNS Studio and ZGF Architects to help design Skanska, Balfour Beatty, GLY and Salen as contractors to help participate in the project. Finally, GeekWire reports that this is an 80/20 relationship because contractors and designers can decide how many creative designs the final result of a new building design will be, and Microsoft is the majority of decision makers.
Similar to Apple, Microsoft also wants to open some of its parks to the public and plans to provide opportunities for public events, sports, shopping and catering. Microsoft seems certain to invest in the well-being of its employees, but its new project can also be seen as an investment in the company's future recruitment, as it now competes with Amazon and Facebook in its own backyard.

We first heard about the construction of another new addition to Chamonix's favourite visitor attraction, the Aiguille du Midi, back in August 2014 when it was announced that 'The Tube' was going to be constructed.
This week it's open to visitors for the first time.
The final result is 32 metres of enclosed, tubular walkway measuring 3.6 metres in diameter with slot windows along its length. It connects the Rebuffat terrace with the Espace Mont Blanc gallery and the return to Chamonix waiting area, and allows visitors to walk around the summit terraces in one continuous flow.
Although the construction date was on target, it seems the cost of the project has overrun by around 1 million euros. The final spend on the project is 2.5 million euros and included in that price were over 500 helicopter flights to ship in materials, 220 cubic metres of concrete, 64.5 tonnes of steel, 750 metres squared of metal plating and steel buttresses, not to mention the labour costs to build it up at 3,770 metres.
The video below shows sections of the tube being flown into place by helicopter in August 2015.


Right now, there are 13 major Chicago megadevelopments in the works. Some are already under construction, while others remain long-term visions for the future. Here’s a look at the large, multiphase projects that will reshape the fabric of the city in the decades to come.
Few Chicago developments in recent memory have received as much attention as Lincoln Yards: a $6 billion plan to turn more than 55 acres of industrial riverfront real estate between Lincoln Park and Bucktown into a sprawling mixed-use campus.
Here, developer Sterling Bay envisions 14.5 million-square-feet of high-rise buildings supporting 23,000 full-time jobs and 6,000 residential units as well as 21 acres of parkland, three new bridges, and an extension of The 606 trail. To help pay for the public infrastructure improvements, the company has a deal with the city to receive $1.3 billion in controversial tax increment financing (TIF).
Sterling Bay is currently working to reverse the environmental damage caused during more than a century of use by steel mills, tanneries, recyclers, and other heavy industries that once occupied the site. The developer recently installed new soccer fields on the site’s western edge. The entire Lincoln Yards development is expected to take roughly ten years to complete.
This third riverfront megadevelopment is located roughly halfway between Lincoln Yards and The 78, on 30 acres of Tribune Media-owned land in River West. Known as the River District, the 8.5 million-square-foot project has zoning approval for up to 14 mixed-use buildings supporting an estimated 4,100 residential units and 19,000 jobs.
Phase one of the River District calls for 1,500 residential units in two high-rises between Grand Avenue and the Ohio-Ontario feeder ramp. Although Tribune Media said that construction could begin by 2020, the company is currently seeking a buyer or joint venture partner for its River West megaproject.
Even though its developers Lendlease and CMK agreed to part ways and split their $2 billion project in half, the Riverline and Southbank developments will still transform 14 acres of vacant land along the Chicago River between Harrison Street and Roosevelt Road.
The plan, created by architecture firm Perkins+Will, calls for 3,700 residences spread across eight waterfront towers and blocks of townhouses. It includes new commercial retail spaces, a riverwalk, and water taxi stops.
So far only one building, a high-rise apartment tower known as the Cooper at Southbank, has been completed. Crews recently wrapped up work on a new riverwalk segment south of Harrison Street and a publicly accessible open space called Southbank Park.
Located at the confluence of the Chicago River’s main, south, and north branches, Wolf Point is among the city’s most prominent development sites. After spending decades as a parking lot, the high-profile peninsula will eventually host a trio of glassy skyscrapers.
The 485-foot Wolf Point West apartment tower opened in 2016 and will soon be joined by the 660-foot Wolf Point East rental tower, currently under construction next door. The final piece of the megadevelopment, an 813-foot-tall Salesforce-anchored office skyscraper, is on track to break ground in 2020 and open in early 2023.
After decades of gradually welcoming more than a dozen mixed-use buildings, downtown’s 28-acre masterplanned Lakeshore East community is just five towers away from being complete. The most visible addition is Jeanne Gang’s Vista Tower which recently topped off at 1,191 feet on its way to a spring 2020 completion date.
The supertall hotel and residential tower will eventually be joined by a 47-story condo building known as Cirrus and a 37-story apartment tower called Cascade, which simultaneously broke ground in the summer. Nearby, zoning is in place for an 80-story residential building at Parcel I. Magellan Development’s last piece of the Lakeshore East puzzle is a 650-foot-tall combination apartment and hotel tower proposed for Parcel
While the redevelopment of Chicago’s abandoned Old Post Office spans only a single building, the project is nonetheless massive. In fact, the plan to transform the 2.8 million-square-foot structure into brand new office space is the nation’s single largest adaptive reuse project.
Developer 601W Companies acquired the property from late British billionaire Bill Davies in 2016 and work to bring the old building back to life began shortly thereafter. The Gensler-designed redo includes a renovation of the Art Deco lobby and the creation of tenant amenities like a fitness center, food court, riverwalk, and a huge rooftop deck.Still to come…

Meet The Team: Estimating
- Trico Awards & News
- Tuesday, March 24, 2015
Welcome to the first edition of Meet The Team!
In this post, we’ll be introducing you to our Estimating Team and explaining everything they’re involved in during the build of your new home.
In short, Construction Estimators analyze costs of and prepare estimates on civil engineering, architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical construction projects. It’s a very important job.
For a new home builder, like we are, the first stage of a project begins before you’ve even considered buying a home. Estimators work with our Drafting & Design team to analyze blue prints, and record every detail, from building & room dimensions, to material types and quantities, to finishings and hardware. They then factor in the costs of everything that needs to be provided, including materials, labour, equipment and any other business-related expenses, such as taxes and overhead. The base price of each model is calculated down to the nearest nail, and every option and upgrade we offer are itemized so that when you make the selections for your new home, we already know just what goes into the final cost to build it.
The Estimating team is also responsible for negotiating contracts with any subcontractors our company requires to get the job done. We work with a great group of preferred trade contractors to meet our every construction need.
During the build of each home, estimators are then used to manage unexpected cost increases and other such emergencies; they monitor the project to ensure their estimations are accurate; and finally, they assess the effectiveness of the materials, labour and equipment employed in a job to see if costs can be reduced in the future.
Stay tuned for our next edition of Meet The Team, where we’ll introduce our Drafting & Design Team!


The Rain Garden was installed last fall, and topped with pine fines mulch for the winter. This spring, we refined the grading and removed most of the mulch for use in other areas.
The soil at this site is extremely sandy, so standing water will be rare. We installed native sedges in the lowest areas of the swale, and they should hold the sandy soil quite well.
Over the next few months, as the plants establish, we’ll introduce the downspout water.
This is the beginning of a larger effort to initiate educational programming at the CNT garden on Western Avenue. Check it out!
Here are some pictures from the party. Also, check out the videos!
Getting Ready for Water…….
The Raingarden Conveyance Channel is being lined with river rocks. The water from the roof will be piped to this lined channel, then will travel to the raingarden basin. The conveyance channel is steeply pitched away from the building to encourage the water to travel away from the building. The Channel is also lined with a geotextile fabric to reduce the ability of water to percolate into the soil and gravel along the building foundation. The river rock lining holds the fabric and looks nice.
Getting Ready for Plants…….
Final grading was performed by raking the planting soil and sculpting it to the final grades. The planting areas were marked with inverted spray paint. Native plant plugs will be installed by volunteers. Pictures of the site planted are coming soon….
Most of the hardscape work is done. Some work is still required to get the pergola finished. Plants should arrive this week and will be installed this weekend by Chicago Conservation Corps!
In addition to the raingarden, the garden also showcases materials re-use and re-purpose. CNT was able to purchase used lumber from the ReBuilding Exchange for the pergola, tables, and benches.
Construction is scheduled for the end of the month. More pictures to follow as work continues!

The New York City Department of Buildings has stopped work on Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park ten times—seven times for safety violations—in addition to numerous other fines and violations.
By failing to comply with New York City’s building codes and safety practices, the Pier 1 developers may have endangered the health and safety of workers and the community. Both developers – Toll Brothers and Starwood Capital Group – were specifically chosen by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation.
The latest stop work order was issued just a couple of weeks ago to call for an investigation of the Pier 1 developer’s failure to comply with the design approved by the Department of Buildings. As it stands, the construction blocks many members of the community from enjoying their view of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Aside from Pier 1, the Corporation has issued a request for proposals to construct two luxury residential buildings on Pier 6 also in the park. They’ve released the architectural renderings of the proposed developments but continue to withhold the names of the bidding developers, The community deserves to know that only a responsible, law-abiding developer will be chosen to build in our park.
We can sound the alarm together and tell our Mayor and other elected officials that the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation needs an intervention. The Corporation must respect the community and be held responsible for the hiring of irresponsible developers and contractors.

Maintenance of offshore wind turbines costs a small fortune in both inspections and repairs as well as in downtime when the turbine blades are not producing power.
So representatives from both Vestas and Ørsted applauded when they recently attended a PhD defense by Jesper Liniger of Aalborg University Esbjerg.
Jesper Liniger has developed several mathematical algorithms that can detect errors in wind turbines before they occur. The algorithms can thus save wind turbine owners millions of kroner both in terms of reduces maintenance costs and lost energy production.
– This means, first of all, that wind turbine owners can save money by not having to inspect their wind turbines as often as they do today. Secondly, they can eliminate a great deal of the downtime for repairs and get up to one percent more energy out of a wind turbine over its service life, explains Jesper Liniger.
Algorithm detects errors in wind turbine´s emergency brake
Most Danes have probably seen a wind turbine, but only a few of us know what is going on inside them.
Wind turbines consist of several different systems that, for example, cause the blades to rotate or collect energy. In addition, wind turbines also have systems to ensure that the entire turbine does not get out of control and tear apart when the wind is exceptionally strong. This system – the pitch system – is the cause of, on average, 20 percent of all wind turbine downtime.
Broadly speaking, the pitch system is a hydraulic system that can build up high pressure which can be used to stop the wind turbine in an emergency even if the turbine does not have power. The system is not infallible, however, and requires frequent inspections to ensure that there is enough gas in the system to create the necessary pressure. So wind turbine owners often send a boat out to offshore wind turbines to inspect the wind turbine gas pressure; this becomes very expensive over the service life of a wind turbine.
Jesper Liniger can save wind turbine owners part of this cost.
– One of the most critical errors in the pitch system is when gas leaks out of the accumulator that collects energy. If this happens, the emergency brake does not work. The algorithm I developed for the pitch system, however, can calculate when the accumulator runs out of gas and it’s time for a refill. So you don’t need to examine it in the actual wind turbine; you can do it from a distance instead, says Jesper Liniger.
Monitoring oil pressure can reduce the costs of inspection
More specifically, Jesper Liniger’s algorithm can calculate the gas pressure via measurements of variations in the accumulator’s oil pressure, and it can do this without sending an expensive boat out to the wind turbines. Wind turbine owners must still send boats out to wind turbines to replenish gas, but the interval between inspections can be longer since they now know whether or not there is enough gas in the system. In other words, they do not have to inspect the wind turbines as often.
Furthermore, the algorithm does not require installing new measuring equipment on the wind turbines, so it can also be used on wind turbines already standing out at sea.
– If you have a wind farm, it can quickly cost a million kroner to send a boat out to inspect the wind turbines, and if you can save a boat every now and then, all else being equal, it’s good for the bottom line, says Jesper Liniger.
In his PhD, Jesper Liniger created several different algorithms that predict potential errors in wind turbines before they occur. All the algorithms can save wind turbine owners both money and worries.

In July 2018, the Community Development Department initiated a Specific Plan for downtown Watsonville. A Specific Plan is a comprehensive planning document and regulatory tool for implementing the City's General Plan and will guide development in downtown through customized land use and design regulations and provide recommendations for improvements to the public realm.
Objectives for the Specific Plan include the development of multi-story mixed use buildings through both new construction and adaptive reuse of historic buildings with market rate residential housing and commercial retail on the first floor. The Plan will encourage compact development near transit to decrease automobile dependency, reduce both local and regional traffic congestion and related greenhouse gas emissions, and provide additional guidance and plans to increasing multimodal access to and from the historic Downtown area.
The Public Works Department is in the process of preparing a Downtown Complete Streets Plan. The focus of this Plan is on Main Street, and its purpose is to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and motorists, and allow the City to apply for grant funding.

The South Carolina Department of Commerce today announced that approximately $16.3 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds have been awarded to 37 communities across the state. These projects will benefit more than 23,000 residents. A full list of grant recipients is listed below.
“The CDBG program consistently has a positive impact on communities across our state that lack resources for community development. These resources not only help improve residents’ quality of life, but also help create a more competitive environment for bringing jobs and investment,” said Bobby Hitt, Secretary of Commerce.
The projects receiving grants were selected through a statewide competitive process. Communities receiving CDBG funding are required to provide at least 10 percent matching funds.
To secure grant funding, communities must demonstrate how they are ensuring healthy and safe neighborhoods. The projects include extension of water lines to serve residents without public water resources, improvement to existing water and sewer systems to upgrade services and conform to environmental and health requirements, and development of drainage infrastructure to prevent water overflows and damage to property. These strategic capital investments address public health, safety or environmental quality concerns.
Approximately 82 percent of these funds will be invested in 31 communities in the state’s less developed counties in South Carolina. In all, 15,000 low- to moderate-income households will benefit from these improvements.
All grants awarded through the CDBG program must meet at least one of three objectives:
- Benefit low and moderate income people.
- Aid in eliminating or preventing poor neighborhood conditions.
- Meet urgent community needs where there are threats to public health and welfare, and where other financial resources are not available.
The grants funds are allocated annually to South Carolina from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Department of Commerce administers the CDBG program for the state. The program assists communities in providing housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities. Grants are awarded to local governments to carry out a wide range of activities addressing housing and community development needs. More than 70 percent of the funding will assist the state’s lower income residents.
Community Development Block Grants will be awarded to the following communities:

Retaining walls are an ancient invention. For many thousands of years ago, people grew grapes, tea and other crops on the hilly foothills. To do this, he equipped terraces, and to strengthen the treacherous mountain slopes, he built retaining walls.
Regardless of what purpose the retaining wall serves, it consists of four parts:
- The foundation is the underground part of the wall.
- The body is the aboveground part of the supporting structure.
- Drainage and drainage necessary to increase the strength of the retaining wall.
The foundation, drainage and drainage system perform exclusively technical functions. And the body is also capable of solving aesthetic problems. But for this, first of all it is necessary to choose the form of retaining walls. And then determine the dimensions – height, width, length, as well as the number of walls and the materials from which you want to make them.
Having decided on these parameters, it is most reliable to turn to the services of builders and engineers for a commercial offer. Having made the appropriate calculations, they will offer specific designs of the body of the wall and the rest of its parts. But you can also use standard designs.
What are retaining walls for?
Retaining walls are structures that hold the soil of the slope of embankments and recesses from collapse. Their purpose is to organize space on rough terrain and improve the aesthetic qualities of gardens and parks.
In addition, the walls are often used when laying park paths, arranging sports, children’s and view areas, and sometimes just for beauty. In regions not rich in mountains, retaining walls often create the illusion of relief: with their help, you can emphasize the existing height difference in the territory. Depending on the task performed by retaining walls, they are divided into reinforcing and decorative.
The choice of wall parameters depends on the specific design and engineering tasks and the taste and imagination of the owner of the site. And also, the style of the garden: you can lay down a baroque wall, modern, high-tech style (most often it is painted concrete) and so on.

Cross Laminated Timber
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is a new and innovative building material that permits fast and efficient construction of single or multi-residential type buildings. CLT was first developed in Austria, and within the last 20 years, production has spread to other parts of Europe and into parts of North America. It is used mainly for wall, ceiling and roof construction.
CLT is fabricated by bonding together timber boards with structural adhesives to produce a solid timber panel with each layer of the panel alternating between longitudinal and transverse lamellae. Alternating the grain directions of each layer of timber reduces many of the weakness that previous timber products had. Specifically:
• The effects of shrinkage and swelling are vastly reduced.
• Load may be transferred in more than one direction.
Performance-wise, Cross Laminated Timber has proved itself to be superior in comparison to other timber products in terms of:
• Fire resistance – CLT has a burning rate of 0.67 mm per minute (ref). Building with CLT means that fire must travel through large area of solid timber surface with little cavity available for fire to burn and travel through.
• Noise Insulation – CLT possesses inherent noise absorbing properties
• Heat Insulation – CLT walls are able to absorb a large amount of energy before releasing it into the atmosphere on the other side of the wall.

Sand blasting has been the conventional way to clean surfaces. You simply shoot sand at the surface to be cleaned and paint and rust flakes off.
The advantages are that it is fairly inexpensive and quite fast. The disadvantages are that it pits the surface being blasted, thins and resurfaces it, and it heats up the surface, which can lead to deformation and expansion. Sand also packs cracks, crevices, and small openings and can hide damage that needs to be removed or repaired.
We do professional sandblasting in Ottawa. However Preptech also offers other alternatives to sand blasting which can be more suitable depending upon the material to be worked on and the nature of work required.
Preptech has expertise in Soda blasting, Shot Blasting, Blastrac and other professional methods of surface preparation also. So we can prepare any surface in the most appropriate manner, using the most appropriate equipment, process and technique.
Preptech has expertise in all types of surface preparation. Please call us at 613-225-0501 to discuss your project requirements OR to get best quote on sandblasting.

Walk of Canal Pt. Blvd.
On Tuesday, April 17th, twenty-one West Windsor residents braved the weather and took part in an educational walk of Canal Pointe Boulevard in the vicinity of Princeton Market Fair to
examine conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists along this busy roadway. Participating in the
walk were seven residents who live in the communities along Canal Pointe Blvd, several elected officials, and Trustees and members of the WWBPA. The group met at Market Fair, and went on a 40 minute walk along Canal Pointe Boulevard between the Marriot Residence Inn and Meadow Road, crossing the roadway several times and generally observing the pedestrian and bicycle conditions firsthand.
In the picture above, it can be seen that there are no crosswalks at Heritage Drive where many Canal Pointe residents cross.
The group agreed that Canal Pointe Boulevard has serious flaws regarding safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists and is in need of immediate short-term amelioration as well as long-term reconstruction. Conditions for pedestrians crossing Canal Pointe Boulevard are dangerous and in fact represent a real lost opportunity, since the neighborhoods along Canal Pointe Boulevard contain a high density of residents living near significant retail and business centers, yet there is a clear lack of safe pedestrian crossings and bicycle facilities.
In the picture shown on the left, the sole existing crosswalk between Farber Rd and Alexander Rd at Mayfair Drive is inadequate- no curb cuts, no paved connection to existing sidewalks, no pedestrian refuge islands, and a lack of signage warning motorists of pedestrians.
The group fully endorses the recommendations from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan developed for West Windsor by the Transportation Planners Orth-Rodgers and the Mayor’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force, for placing Canal Pointe Boulevard on a “road diet”. Such a road diet would reduce the automobile travel lanes from two in each direction to one in each direction with a middle turning lane, would include a grass median (which would put the “boulevard” back into Canal Pointe Boulevard), and would include high visibility pedestrian crossings and bicycle lanes, all of which would result in reduced automobile travel speeds, safer pedestrian crossings, and safe bicycle facilities. The Township has budgeted a traffic analysis of Canal Pt. Blvd this year.
In the picture above, the abysmal conditions for pedestrians can be seen at the intersection of Meadow Road and Canal POinte Blvd. There is a complete lack of crosswalks at this busy intersection. The picture below shows what pedestrians must do to cross Canal Pointe, no curb cuts, no crosswalk, no pedestrian refuge island to stop halfway. The last picture shows the lack of crosswalks at Heritage Drive to enable pedestrians to cross Heritage Drive. There are no such crosswalks at any of the exisiting intersections, such as Carillon Blvd, the entrances to Market Fair, Mayfair Drive, or Heritage.
Due to the dangerous current conditions, we urge the Township administration and the Township Council to take the appropriate actions to make Canal Pointe Boulevard a bicycle and pedestrian safe roadway. We owe it to the thousands of residents who reside in the communities along Canal Pointe Boulevard. This is especially true in light of the current discussion of “smart growth” development in the redevelopment area- we have attractive high density housing along Canal Pointe Boulevard; now let’s be smart and provide pedestrian and bicycle connectivity between this housing and nearby retail and business centers. A letter to the Mayor outlining our observations and recommendations can be found on the WWBPA web site http://www.princetononline.org/wwbpa/

The shear tab, which was configured as a double bolt row connection, was subjected to a combined vertical shear force and axial tension along with the anticipated rotation of a typical beam-to-column joint. As it was observed experimentally, the failure of bolts due to an excess of tensile forces may occur during the cooling phase of the fire.

Previous finite element modelling of shear tabs lacked damage simulation capability, did not include the effect of weld tearing, and as such often overestimated the connection resistance.

The results from these tests and previous shear tabs tested under gravity load alone were used in the development of a finite element model that is capable of simulating the response of the connection under shear load; predict the ultimate resistance and the progression of failure.
A common approach to connect steel beams to columns is to use single plate shear tabs. This preliminary step is essential for an optimised design of connections in similar conditions. All items in eScholarship McGill are protected by copyright with all rights reserved unless otherwise indicated.

Vous pouvez modifier line or polyline that can be used to locally modify reinforcing bars in a rebar set Rebar set modifiers can be rebar set property modifiers, end detail modifiers, or splitters. The objective of this project is to provide experimental data and to propose guidelines for designing the joints including both the heating and cooling phases.
Each rebar set modifier only affects those rebar set reinforcing bars that its projection touches. Generally, the stability of structures is calculated by the use of recommended temperature-time curves that do not considered the cooling phase of the fire.

What has the Sustainability Fund funded?
2015: Rain garden at The SRSC
What's a rain garden? Rain gardens catch rain and water runoff, slow it down, and disperse it into the soil slowly. Rain gardens prevent both erosion (from water running too quickly) and stagnation (from water pooling for days). Previously, the area to the northwest side of the SRSC experienced heavy erosion, creating gulleys in the soil that made it unsafe for IU Landscape Services to mow. Students in a SPEA course wrote a proposal to the SSC and successfully received funding. The rain garden was installed spring 2016 by student volunteers.
Read the original Rain Garden Proposal here.
2014: SSC voted to allocate its funds for three projects:
- $20,000 to the Physical Plant for a solar heating pilot project for one of the dorms.
- $5,363 to the Art Museum for the Greening of the Light Totem, which will now be powered by solar power.
- $3,965 to the RAIN Initative for the construction of a rain garden on campus.

The Royal Hospital Haslar in Gosport, Hampshire, was one of several hospitals serving the Portsmouth Urban Area, but had previously been the country's foremost – and ultimately last – military hospital.
The Admiralty acquired the site selected for the hospital, Haslar Farm, whose name came from Anglo-Saxon Hæsel-ōra (English: Hazel Bank), in 1745. The building was designed by Theodore Jacobsen and construction of the main building was completed in on 23 October 1753. On completion it was the largest brick building in Europe. Building works cost more than £100,000, nearly double the cost of the Admiralty headquarters in London. In its early years it was known as the Royal Hospital Haslar.
Patients usually arrived by boat (it was not until 1795 that a bridge was built over Haslar Creek, providing a direct link to Gosport). Built on a peninsula, the guard towers, high brick walls, bars and railings throughout the site were all designed to stop patients, many of whom had been press ganged, from going absent without leave.
The hospital included an asylum for sailors with psychiatric disorders
All remaining medical facilities at the site were closed in 2009. After services were transferred to the Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham, Portsmouth, the hospital closed in 2009. The 25-hectare hospital site was sold to developers for £3 million later that year.
Plans were released in 2014 for a £152 million redevelopment scheme involving housing, commercial space, a retirement home and a hotel. The hospital itself is a Grade II listed building.


Promoting cost-efficient flood risk reduction via green infrastructure solutions - Study
Europe's floodplains once covered wide stretches along European rivers and were valued for their high ecological importance. Over a number of years they have been cleared for agricultural purposes and changed through urban expansion and artificial flood control structures. Existing natural waterways do not always have the capacity to bear any excess water which can lead to the flooding of downstream areas. As a rough estimate, around 20 % of European cities are classified as being vulnerable to river floods. Therefore, increasing urbanisation and soil sealing, along with wetland conversion or... degradation, have contributed to increased run-off and flood risk. Green infrastructure (GI) can provide essential benefits to flood management and co-benefits to society and the economy. Evidence shows that investment in green solutions, such as landscape conservation and restoring for upstream floodplains or wetlands, is more cost-efficient and provides improved infrastructure solutions. This comes at an opportune moment as decision-makers and investors from both the public and private sectors are seeking out new, innovative and more sustainable infrastructure-based solutions to mitigate flood management. Green solutions can also provide additional benefits such as increased biodiversity, recreational opportunities, and carbon sequestration, which makes for a compelling investment case. This European Environment Agency (EEA) report looks at a number of case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of so-called 'GI solutions'.


Case Study: My Experience With Homes
A log house is a building that has been constructed using different tree products such as logs and timber that make it look attractive and ready for inhabiting where you can live inside with the people you love. When you want to build a log house, it is important that you buy land in a unique space where there are beautiful landscapes because such a house presents a great opportunity for you to enjoy your time because you can live there during the holiday when you are away from work.
When you acquire the piece of land that you will use for building the log house, make sure that you hire a reputable log home construction agency that will be available to carry out the activities that are to be done for the project to be completed. There are critical issues that have to be taken into consideration when you are searching for the right agency which will be involved in the construction of your log house so that it can be completed in the right time.
First, make sure that you research about the other construction projects that have been done by the log house construction agency you want to hire so that you see if they have constructed some great houses because you can identify one design that appeals to your eyes. You can get this information by visiting the homes of some people who hired a particular company to build their log house because you can check the house and get recommendations from the owner about the best company you can go to if you want a unique log house.
Secondly, make sure that you identify the log house construction firm that has access to high-quality hardwood products that can be used to construct the log houses required by customers who wish to live in such comfortable and attractive houses. The good thing about the log house being constructed using hardwood products is that it will be able to last for many years to come because the logs are resistant to destruction by natural conditions such as moisture which would have damaged normal softwood material.
Thirdly, you should look at the type of construction equipment are owned by a particular log house construction company so that you only hire its services if the construction items presented are of high efficiency when used at the construction site. Lastly, make sure that you can negotiate about the price of having the log house construction company do the project for you so that you end up hiring a group of people who will be available to offer the best possible construction work.

As one of Atlanta’s oldest college-preparatory schools, Woodward Academy has over 52 buildings and 1 Million+ square feet of education space for its K12 students. The facilities include over 109 acres of campuses, athletic fields, hardscapes, parking lots, and an offsite transportation facility.
Large school complexes present unique challenges to facility assessment teams due to the wide variety of buildings and amenities present. Having an experienced team of construction experts is vital in being able to properly assess and forecast maintenance needs.
the zumBrunnen solution
The zumBrunnen team was commissioned to complete a full facilities audit for all the buildings, athletic facilities, and grounds to help them more accurately forecast for the future.
With expertise in education buildings and school campuses, the team was well equipped to identify opportunities for future capital planning. While the overall maintenance was good, the team found many deficiencies requiring attention.
zumBrunnen was able to centralize the building data in the FacilityForecast® Software system. The database brought everything together in one place making it easy to create a detailed budget for each building and forecast replacement and repair needs into the future.
When zumBrunnen ran the comprehensive funding plan for each building, they discovered the school was reserving 2x as much as they needed per year, allowing Woodward to reallocate money for other priorities.
This complex school facilities assessment was completed successfully with the guidance of the teams’ expertise and collaborative approach.
