What can you find in a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan?
SUMPs must ensure a balance between mobility and accessibility needs, while favoring environmental protection, social cohesion and economic development.
What is a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan?
A Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan is a set of actions aimed at implementing more sustainable forms of travel (walking, cycling and public transport) within a city, in other words, modes of transport that make economic growth, social cohesion and environmental protection compatible, guaranteeing a better quality of life for citizens.
This means providing citizens with alternative modes of transport to private transport that are sustainable, efficient and comfortable. Because of these factors, it is necessary to manage the demand for private mobility in a way that requires a high level of public awareness and participation.
The elaboration of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan requires a methodology of participation and social awareness, information and education by local authorities, together with detailed analysis of the initial situation and proposals, progressive implementation of measures with evaluation of results.
Main characteristics of SUMPs:
- They act at local or metropolitan level
- Ensure accessibility and mobility needs of the municipalities
- They cover all modes of transport, people and merchandise.
- They are linked to local, regional and national plans and strategies.
- They must reduce the negative impacts of transport
- Address growing traffic volumes and congestion
- Aim to change the modal split in favor of cleaner and more efficient modes
- They propose urban planning taking into account accessibility criteria and the mobility generated by the different centres and areas of activity.
At Evectra, within the area of consultancy, we make Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans for public administrations and companies, making sure to offer the optimal solutions to be able to develop the Sustainable Mobility in the different urban nuclei.
Join the Green Mobility, we help you!

When it comes to different types of construction work you can see with a building, the makeover ones are very popular. Building makeovers let us enjoy having the same building for a longer time without adding a new part to the building or having to move on to a new structure. This is not something that is only limited to one type of property. We can see commercial as well as home builders Ascot happening all the time. There are mainly two types of makeover projects. Depending on the situation of the building in question, we have to select the right kind of project.
Building Makeovers to Give a New Look to a Building
Firstly, we have the building makeovers which we do in order to give a new look to a structure. When we talk about the makeovers this is the first one which comes to anyone’s mind. Usually, we choose to go with this option when we have been using a building for some time. Sometimes we get tired with the look the building has. Sometimes we just want to improve what the building interior already has. Sometimes due to both of these reasons we go for the makeover option. It is important to have a clear idea about the kind of changes you want to do to your structure as well as which part of the building should receive such a treatment before you start the work. With the right constructor you can come up with a plan which is going to improve the look of that part of the building while enhancing the beauty and value of the structure as a whole.
Building Makeovers to Make a Structure Habitable
Secondly, we have the type of makeovers which people choose to go through to make a structure habitable. You must have come across people who buy certain properties due to them being cheap in price and offering other advantages. However, sometimes the properties they buy include buildings which are not habitable as some of them have not been used for a long time. At such a moment you could either rebuild the place or go for a makeover and use the same space. With the perfect builders in Hamilton you can go for a makeover and start using the space as if it were built quite recently. This is a decision you have to make with your constructor.A good constructor is more than capable of handling any type of a building makeover project. You can trust them to deliver you the best of results.

The allowance of some lead under the LCR was the EPA’s way of acknowledging that without adequate funding to rebuild America’s massive lead-based infrastructure, not to mention all the plumbing fixtures in individual homes, there was simply no way to eliminate it completely from drinking water. Only a colossal investment, thoughtfully executed, would make zero tolerance possible. The EPA estimated that it would cost up to $ 80 billion to replace all of the nation’s lead service lines, while the American Water Works Association calculated it at about $ 30 billion—or $ 1 trillion, if we repaired and expanded our old water mains, too. 68 This never became a priority. Not yet, at least. In the meanwhile, some communities tried to address the lead problem on their own, mostly focusing on paint.

Old Port Clinton Lighthouse
In the early 1800s, there were doubts as to the necessity of erecting a lighthouse to mark the entrance of the Portage River. But after a shipwreck at the mouth of the river in 1827, it was decided to erect a light. Even after erecting that first light, the debate as to its need continued.
In 1896 a new lighthouse was erected at the end of the breakwater. This structure consisted of a pyramidal shaped wooden building that stood about 26' above water level.
Despite early doubts about the necessity of a lighthouse at Port Clinton, the area has been home to three diverse structures, which have served to mark the entrance to the Portage River from Lake Erie. The surviving structures that have been part of Port Clinton’s lighthouse history are now treasured landmarks for Port Clinton.
The wooden lighthouse saw service between 1874 and 1964. In the 1960s, the wooden Port Clinton lighthouse was removed from the breakwater and relocated to Brands Marina on the Portage River across from Jet Express. The surviving structure has become part of Port Clinton's history a landmark associated with the community.
The existing Port Clinton Lighthouse consists of a pair of flashing red and green entrance lights to the Portage River.
If you wish to visit the lighthouse, just stop by Brands Marina located on the north side of the river and ask for directions. Remember: this is private property. Be mindful of speed limits and people working in the boatyard. Visitors can see the lighthouse during regular hours of operation at the marina.
Port Clinton and the Canal
After the Erie Canal was under construction in New York, the idea of building several canals in Ohio were also being debated. The Ohio and Erie Canal that ran through eastern Ohio had already begun construction. Ideas for a second canal were still being discussed. DeWitt Clinton, the surveyor and driving force behind the Erie Canal was proposing a canal be built from the Portage River and go south to the Ohio River. That canal would be called the Sandusky-Scioto Canal.
However, politics and economics put the plan on hold. The Sandusky-Scioto Canal would have gone through Columbus (the new capitol) and Chillicothe (the old capitol) and connect with Ohio River at Portsmouth. Politicians (including important politicians in the Dayton Cincinnati area) said they would be left out of the economic development that the canal would certainly bring to those areas being served. After further study and surveying the engineers decided that there would not be enough water to supply the canal that would have to be built to connect the two rivers. The decision was made to move the 2nd canal further west so it started in Cincinnati, ran up through Dayton and on to Toledo. That canal would become the Miami - Erie Canal.
This decision made the politicians in both Central Ohio and the Chillicothe area a bit upset. So the decision was made to change the route of the Ohio & Erie Canal, and have it turn west about midway so that it skirted Columbus and then moved on to Chillicothe and Portsmouth. This made everyone happy except the folks in southeastern Ohio, particularly in Marietta.

Construction and civil works are considered as the type of work that requires expertise and experience. Construction involves huge amount of money and time. There are two kinds of constructions, commercial and domestic construction. Both types of the constructions are somehow different. The procedure might be the same in both types but the approach may be different. If you are considering having construction, then you must ensure that you know everything about the construction. Just like the other activities, there are lots of considerations to make during the construction. You need to have the idea about the architectural design and the construction material.
It is obvious that you need to have the man power for initializing the construction. There are various phases in which the construction is done. Every phase has its importance and value. To have the quality work you need to get to get the professional services. There are professional construction services available that can help clients get the type of construction that is required. There are various benefits of hiring construction services. First of all you need to have the time frame decided. If you have the capital and you need to complete the task in a timely manner than it can be done with the help of professional construction services.
The construction services are very strict at meeting the deadlines; one of the advantages is that these construction services can get the task completed in a very timely manner. The quality of the construction is very important. The quality comes in with the professionalism, professional construction services always keeps an eye on to the quality. These services keep on monitoring the labor work along with the specification details. The construction material is also monitored during the development phase. All these activities can be best handled by the construction services. It is obvious that whenever there is a construction planed there are some legal matters to be covered as well. Most of the people are unaware of the legal matters because they have a very limited knowledge. A professional construction company can handle legal matters in a very effective way.
If you hire professional construction company, you need to make it sure that they are aware of all legal matters used during the construction. The construction companies that are professional in dealing with the customers always make it sure that all the requirements are met. A good construction company can be more cheaper in rates then the other companies, as a client you can save lot of money and time by hiring a construction company. A company is liable for providing construction details; moreover the construction companies always follow rules and the regulation defined by the local authorities. The construction companies with the vast experience always ensure that the construction work done is as per the specification shared. There is very limited number of chances that there will be mistakes during the construction phase. It ensures safety and the reliability at the same time.


North Carolina is slowly but gradually back on track in bringing its unemployment level to below 7 percent state-wide. As per the recent N.C. State University’s study, it is expected to bring the rate below 6 percent in the Triangle by the year 2015. The economic recovery is expected to continue as the opportunities for jobs in North Carolina are on a rise.
The construction sector deserves a special mention at this juncture that added over 7000 jobs in May 2013. Civil Engineering jobs in North Carolina have thus increased by leaps and bounds owing to accelerated growth in this sector
Civil Engineering jobs are concerned with the care and development of the natural and manmade environments and cater to planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of various infrastructure projects.
They can be split into the following sub-branches:
- Structural Engineering: It has got to do with buildings, bridges, stadiums, etc
- Transportation Engineering: It Involves highways, airports, transit systems, etc
- Geotechnical Engineering: It pertains to dams, tunnels, roadbeds, etc
- Environmental Engineering: It includes projects for water supply, urban drainage, ground and surface water quality management, flood control, etc
In North Carolina, although majority of the work is desk based, civil engineers are often required on site to supervise the projects. It is thus of paramount importance that employers must ensure the health and safety of all of their employees, labourers, workers and general public, who may be soft targets of any mishaps that may occur in due course.
Essential Safety Measures
- While working on site, engineers need to ensure their own safety by wearing the correct PPE (personal protective equipment) like a helmet or a dust mask.
- If the worker is new, inexperienced or not adequately trained, he must be supervised very closely. A buddy system may be recommended in this case.
- If a civil engineer notices bad working practices, the concerned worker should immediately be made aware that what he is doing is flawed and the probable repercussions of the same.
- The project implementation should be as per the plan and drawings or else the entire construction may go haywire, increasing the risk of accidents.
- The civil engineer should try not to interfere with any kind of machineries or equipments as there will be specialists to deal with them. However, if he notices any fault in them, he may always report it.
Some Quick Tips
- Keep a safe working environment.
- Provide all PPE (personal protective equipment) to employees free of cost
- Ensure all equipments and machinery is in good working order.
- Efficient material handling
- Taking care of everybody on premises including trespassers.
- Ensure all employees are being supervised at all times.
- Issue Company safety policies and maintain safety board
- Conduct periodic Safety Drills
- Use the furnished PPE
- Not put themselves at risk
- Not hamper any inspections
- Pass on relevant information regarding safe working practices
- Work hand in hand with the employer with regards to the health and safety policy
Adherence to the above safety norms definitely would make a civil engineer feel comfortable and secured while working in North Carolina.


The high-speed intercity railway link between Beijing and Tianjin was opened on August 01, 2008. The inauguration was timed to coincide with the Olympic games. When it opened, it set the record for the fastest commuter rail system in the world. The travel time between these two cities of Northern China was cut down from seventy minutes to thirty minutes.
The second phase of this 2006-10 plan by the Chinese Ministry of Railways saw the extension of this line from Tianjin to the Binhai New Area sub-district of Yujiapu, which opened on September 20, 2015. To lessen congestion on this route, the second Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, also known as the Keihin Railway, started construction on December 29, 2015.
Beijing and Tianjin, both being major centres suffered from heavy road congestion and a slow railway service. The 2006-10 Railway plan had massive upgrading and expansion of the existing railway system. Construction of rapid transit links in the capital, addition of high-speed line corridors were major parts of the project.
The Beijing-Tianjin corridor project built 17,000 km of new railway tracks. Though it used conventional technology, it was the fastest railway of its kind in China. The trains run at 300 km/hr, but the ultimate plan is to run the train at the speed of 350 km/hr. There is a train every three minutes, with one eighty trains a day running between the two cities, to further the use of high-speed commuter travel.
Working on a stringent deadline, the project saw many unique construction features. Using just 17 km of the traditional embankment, the new line runs on a viaduct for hundred kilometres. The flat land surrounding the route has enabled this. The viaduct has been placed on pre-cast concrete sections for high speed. Even the tracks are set around concrete! This was the result of technology transfer from Max Bogel, a German engineering company.
The existing Beijing Nan station was redeveloped with five more platforms to cater to the new high-speed line. The metro from the Beijing airport was also connected to this line.
After the initial construction of three trains at the Siemens’ plant in Germany, the remaining trains were locally produced in China at the Tangshan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works. With a speed up to 300 km/hr, each train is 200 m long, seating around six hundred passengers in eight cars. The trains have been designed to operate at extremely high temperatures.

Flame Towers, located in Baku, Azerbaijan, is an iconic structure consisting of three skyscrapers, one
being the tallest tower in the country. The architect of the project is HOK and design-build
contractor is DIA Holdings. The design of the structure was inspired from the long history of fire
worshipping of Azerbaijan. The towers are fully covered with LED screens that create the fire-like
movement on the façade.
Mikodam/IKOOR took part in designing the interiors of the office and residence towers. Reception,
lobby, office, residence, woodworks in the café, wall, ceiling and floor coverings, and doors were
chosen from world-wide known brands or manufactured by Mikodam.


The project features an open-air, pedestrian gallery that will promote public circulation from the Mall to Water Street. This will be a dynamically engaging new approach to the west end of our Mall. At the center of the site, there will be an exterior courtyard, with a sunken water feature and amphitheater for public and private outdoor events. As the building gently climbs from the Mall to Water Street, you will see a series of beautiful rooftops populated with intensive green plantings. Each of these outdoor terraces will serve as work and gathering spaces for tenants on each floor. The building will also include one level of subgrade parking that will feature electric vehicle charging stations. Parking spaces may be converted to alternate uses in anticipation of evolving transportation trends. The project will also provide a variety of retail spaces on its ground floor along with the main lobby entry on the Downtown Mall. A secondary entrance to the lobby will also be provided on Water Street. The Water Street side lobby is spacious and may serve as a co-working studio when not being used as a state of the art 200+ seat auditorium. The auditorium will serve both tenant specific uses and local community events.
CODE is designed to be a LEED Gold + certified building. The design employs systems and technologies even beyond LEED standards, that will increase the fresh air exchange, provide fine-tuned environmental controls allowing for natural ventilation and daylighting. Additionally, the building has been designed to harvest and reuse rainwater for green roof irrigation. The entire building’s envelope is being designed to meet the AIA’s 2030 challenge for efficiency and thermal performance.


The Geothermal District Energy system is delivered through network of closed loop pipes that pushes water down into the earth which recycles the water through the system. (The Geothermal system has no interaction with the water table.) As the water is pumped, it is heated by the earth’s temperature, and delivered to the Ground Sourced Heat Pump (GSHP) where it is distributed throughout the home via heating cooling or hot water as needed.
The heat pumps at each home in St Hilaire will all be linked, creating a system that can service the entire estate.

HX900 is a unique wear material combining the wear resistance of cemented carbide with the shock resistance, ductility and forming capability of nodular iron. This is an ideal combination resulting in a hard material that stands well in tough environments and has a long wear life.
Used in a wide range of applications, HX900 is implemented in the mining and mineral handling industries, steel works, concrete plants and in road maintenance. It has found use most readily in crushing, fragmentation and grinding operations. In such applications HX900 can easily replace conventional wear resistant steels, castings and hardfacing on wear parts subjected to severe stresses.
The high wear resistance of HX900 makes it a material that contributes to new opportunities for improved product quality, reduced down-time and increased productivity.
A typical HX900 product has a wear resistance that is comparable with cemented carbide and a strength that is 80-90% of the strength of pure nodular iron. The wear resistance is generally 3-15 times higher than with common structural steel, nodular iron, welded material or ceramics. HX900 can be produced in various shapes and sizes and can be used in many different types of applications. The composition of the material can be optimized to meet the specifc requirements for each application. That makes it a exible and durable material.
HX900 is produced in the form of composite or clad. The casting method used in both cases provides a metallurgical bond between the cemented carbide granules or tiles in the wear zone and the nodular iron in the base metal. It is also possible to have a mixture of composite and clad.
To create the composite of HX900, granules of cemented carbide are added to the nodular iron surface. Composite is ideal to use in products that will be exposed to heavy impact. Approximately 50% of the composite wear zone consist of granules. The granules have a size of 1 to 6 mm (0.04-0,24”), depending on the application and thickness of 5 to 20 mm (0.2-0.79”).
HX900 clad products consist of cemented carbide tiles embedded in the nodular iron surface. The tiles form an almost continuous surface and provide the best protection against wear due to abrasion and erosion. The tiles can be of various shapes and sizes but are usually rectangular with a length and width of 10 to 50 mm (0.39-1.97”) and thickness of 2 to 10 mm (0.08-0.39”).
Typical applications include:
Crusher arms • Loader Buckets • Chutes • Rock Boxes • Edge Protection • Excavators • Weld On Hammer Tips • Breakers / Hammers • Heel Plates • Truck Boxes
Weldable segments are suitable for any place that would otherwise be inaccessible for the installation of wear liners.


Pumps are not intended to run continuously and they don't start each time you open a tap or flush the toilet. In order to provide consistent water pressure at the fixtures, the pump first moves water to a storage tank. Inside a modern tank is an air bladder that becomes compressed as the water is pumped in. The pressure in the tank is what moves the water through the household plumbing system.
When the pressure reaches a preset level, which can be anywhere from 40 to 60 psi, a switch stops the pump. As water is used in the home, pressure begins to decrease until, after a drop of about 20 psi, the switch turns on the pump and the cycle is repeated. You'll find the pressure gauge mounted on the tank with wires leading to the switch that controls the pump.

Early Vegetation Fire Detection System for Overhead Power-Line
Every year, hundreds of fires start on power lines and have the potential to significantly impact communities. Unlike other electrical faults, vegetation in contact with power lines can be difficult to detect due to the low amount of energy produced.
IND Technology , a spin-off from RMIT University have successfully developed an Early Vegetation Fire Detection System. The system is a world first that required years of research and design, as well as on site validation, conducted with the assistance of CFA.
The System provides a number of fire safety and public asset protection benefits:
- It provides 24/7 continuous powerline condition monitoring
- It provides real-time notification and condition reports of power asset
- And it has an early defect diagnostic system
So far, more than 10 Early Vegetation Fire Defence systems have been installed in Victoria.
