Green roof using Sphagnum:
an ecological asset for sustainable constructions
Little known in France, the green roof combines a great deal of advantages. Placed on terraces or slightly sloping roofs, it is part of a sustainable development process providing natural insulation for buildings.
The principle of the green roof also called plant roof, vegetated roof or eco-roof is to cover with greenery a flat roof or low slope roof. This technique has been known for centuries in Scandinavia and among the Inuits, combining many advantages. Indeed, within an urban area, a vegetated roof can help to restore biodiversity. This solution also offers great opportunities for filtration and biological treatment of rainwater. It can also limit the massive inflows of rainwater into stormwater drains. It is estimated that annually, a green roof absorbs up to 50% of the water that falls on a roof, thereby reducing water treatment costs by 5 to 10%. The revegetation of urban roofs can also reduce the rate of CO2 in the air while capturing pollutions (airborne dust and pollen).
In addition, the technique allows the green roof to insulate the building naturally. The mixture of soil and plant roots on the roof makes it possible to make roofs airtight and watertight but also more resistant to wind and fire. In recent years using green roofs has become part of current practices in sustainable building, the architectural version of the philosophy of sustainable development. Indeed, the vegetated roof terraces help protect the waterproofing materials (insulating membrane) from UV radiation and solar heat. This natural protection increases durability of waterproofing membranes up to 30 to 50 years.
Another interesting point, a green roof greatly reduces the large temperature differences. This means that building materials are less exposed to the classic physical stresses due to expansion, for example. Reducing variation in temperature by quasi 40% provides an obvious comfort to the occupants of the building covered. Moreover, the temperature can be better controlled to limit energy consumption for air conditioning in summer and heating in winter.

LED Street Light cobra head is street light fixtures which are best for perimeter and security lighting. It is also used for:
- roadway lighting
- loading platforms
- parking facilities
- parking lots
- rural homes
- public entrances
- perimeter lighting.
It is best to enhance illumination in municipal areas while providing savings through increasing energy efficiency, lesser maintenance needs and longer-rated lifetimes. This light fixture are always for street lighting applications because they’re shaped in such a way that diffuses light to cover a wide patch of ground.
There are hit sinks used for LED street that are similar design to those used to cool in some electronic devices such as amplifiers and computers. It assist hot air flow away from the LEDs. The region of heat exchange on their heat sink is directly by affects the lifespan of LED street lights. Unlike their original specification, the lifespan of most current LED is through street lights is determined by their light output.
Street light cobra head have lenses in their LED panel. The intention of the lens is to cast light in a rectangular pattern.
Furthermore, LED lighting typically does not fail in similar fashion as normal lighting. Instead, it decreases in output to the point that it is ineffective and replacement has to be done.

If you’re experiencing a water leak, our years of experience and state-of-the-art leak-locating technology can help pinpoint the exact source of the problem.
We use special instruments for plumbing leak detection like slab leaks, and yard leaks. These tools can help us find the leak by amplifying the sound of the leak or by sending signals into the ground.
For minor leaks in the wall or ceiling, we can use meters to detect the level of moisture content in the drywall to be more precise as to where the leak is located.
Plumbing Leak Repair
Once the leak is found we will discuss the necessary repairs so that you are aware of the options. Blue Sky Plumbing can repair your leaky pipe, faucet, sink, toilet, tub, shower, drain, disposal, hose bib, and more.
We know your time is valuable. So, we keep fully stocked trucks, and our highly skilled plumbers strive to complete the repair during the first visit.
We understand that plumbing leaks can cause damage to your property. If there is any damage to the drywall, concrete, or yard, we will assist to make the necessary arrangements so that the repairs can be completed.
Fixture leaks can happen for a variety of reasons. If you are experiencing a faucet leak, shower leak, toilet leak, or drain leak, then Blue Sky Plumbing has the expertise to correct your problem.
These types of leaks can cause a substantial increase in the water bill, and allow mineral deposits to build up on the surface.
A leak in a copper pipe behind the wall is sometimes called a pinhole leak. These leaks are primarily caused by age and corrosion due to mineral deposits that react with the drinking water and the copper pipes.
Water dripping or spraying in a wall can cause considerable damage and doesn’t always affect water pressure. Your only indication of a leak may be a spongy floor, a visually damp spot, or moldy drywall.
A slab leak is a water leak that occurs in the water lines running below the concrete floor of your home or business.
These leaks are primarily caused by age and corrosion due to mineral deposits that build up and react with our drinking water and the copper pipes but can also be caused settling of the foundation. Depending on the size of the leak you may notice a loss of pressure or an increased water bill.
Yard leaks are water leaks in the piping that brings water into the home. Any leaks from the home to the meter box at the street are the customer’s responsibility to repair.
Water standing in a yard, water in or around a meter box, or an unusually high bill may indicate a yard leak. These leaks are caused by a variety of problems including roots, digging, and corrosion due to age and mineral deposits.

For our Senior Design project, Rachel Druffel-Rodriguez, Alfred Tipon III, and Melissa Abe designed a secondary wastewater treatment plant in the city of Roseville, CA. We started this project in January 2012, and completed the final design and presentation on April 27,2012. We designed all of the units upstream of the tertiary treatment, including preliminary, primary, secondary and sludge handling facilities. The process for our design consisted of many calculations and iterations while considering the alternatives in the design of the wastewater treatment plant. We chose our final design recommendation based on the best fit for the site area. The site layout, calculations, environmental evaluation, and preliminary cost estimates were all performed by Rachel, Alfred, and Melissa, and are also included within this report ( which can be found in the Files section). This design project will show that we have considered the most economic and optimal design for a Secondary Wastewater Reclamation Plant built for the Cities of Roseville and Rocklin, CA.

D&HCCo stands for Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, whose canal and gravity railroad ran between the Lackawanna Valley in Pennsylvania and the Hudson River. The 108-mile long D&H Canal and the 16-mile long D&H Gravity Railroad were built by hand and horsepower. The D&H Canal Company was one of the country's first million-dollar private enterprises.
The D&H transportation system was an astonishing engineering accomplishment that was constructed under the direction of some of the best minds in early nineteenth-century America. John Roebling, who later designed the Brooklyn Bridge, designed and supervised the construction of four aqueducts to carry the D&H Canal over rivers. The Delaware Aqueduct (now known as the Roebling Bridge) at Lackawaxen, PA, is the oldest existing suspension bridge in America.
Canal boats were frequently operated by families, who lived on the boats during the shipping season. The mules that pulled the canal boats through the system were often led by the children of the family. The trip from Honesdale to Kingston, at one to three miles per hour, took between seven and ten days.
During the 70 years that the D&H transportation system was in operation between Carbondale and the Hudson River, many villages, towns, and cities were founded and/or developed along the line of the D&H canal and railroad, and a wide range of products were shipped to market through this transportation system.

Amtrak said Wednesday that buses would take train passengers between Portland and Seattle as a landslide north of Vancouver blocked the tracks.
The Cascades service was suspended Tuesday after an atmospheric river brought heavy rain, flooding and warm winter temperatures to the Pacific Northwest, closing schools and roads as it shattered daily rainfall and temperature records in Washington state.
Amtrak expects to resume Cascades service at 8:30 a.m. Thursday. The Washington Department of Transportation said the landslide occurred north of Vancouver, Washington.
Follow Amtrak Alerts on X for updates.
Meantime, in Oregon, the heavy rain caused road closures and flooding as well.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) this week introduced in the Senate the Nogales Wastewater Fairness Act, legislation that would transfer the unfair financial burden of maintenance and capital upgrades of the International Outfall Interceptor (IOI) sewage pipeline located underneath the Nogales Wash along the Arizona-Mexico border from the city of Nogales, Arizona, to the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC). Representative Martha McSally also introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives.
Under an existing agreement between the IBWC and Nogales, the city is currently responsible for a disproportionate percentage of the operating costs of the IOI. The Nogales Wastewater Fairness Act would transfer future capital costs to the IBWC while holding the city of Nogales responsible only for its equitable proportion of operation and maintenance costs that would be fairly split based on the city’s average sewage flow.
“At its core, the 1953 financial arrangement between Nogales and IBWC is outdated and unfair,” said Senator McCain. “Nogales residents should not have to pay for runoff and sewage not under their control. Our bill finally brings fairness to the people of Nogales who are dealing with out-of-touch bureaucrats mismanaging this crumbling infrastructure.”
“The burden of wastewater infrastructure operated pursuant to a U.S.-Mexico treaty should not fall disproportionately on the City of Nogales,” said Senator Flake. “This bill resets the cost-share to reflect the proper obligations of the IBWC.”
“Nogales has shouldered an unfair burden in paying for the operation and maintenance of this pipeline for too long,” said Rep. McSally. “I am happy to join Senator McCain today in introducing the Nogales Wastewater Fairness Act. This legislation will help address a longstanding problem and I look forward to working alongside him to get this passed through Congress and onto the President’s desk.”
“We are grateful for the tremendous support from Senators McCain and Flake and Congresswoman McSally on this effort,” said Guillermo Valencia, Chairman of the Greater Nogales Santa Cruz County Port Authority. “The Greater Nogales Santa Cruz County Port Authority has for many years advocated for the urgent need to address the issue of the IOI and after trips to Washington, D.C., arranging numerous site visits and meetings with many stakeholders, we are extremely glad to see the Senator take the lead to provide a solution. This is an issue that impacts the quality of life of the residents of Nogales, Arizona. But it also has a direct impact on the lives of the residents of Nogales, Mexico, and the entire Nogales-Tucson corridor. The significance of this legislation cannot be overstated.”

The summer of 2014 has given the team the spark to make massive strides in completing the Boat Dock project at Sportsman’s Lake. Floats are now attached to the frames awaiting decking. Soon they will be floated and ready for people to enjoy!


With a sloping front yard a creative way to transition an elevation change is with a terraced wall system. Here the Rinox interlocking concrete wall system has been used for the wall structure. Six foot granite steps are used in this example for the steps leading from the driveway to the front walkway. An advantage to the granite steps is that they are one solid piece of stone. They are not slippery like a granite counter would be which is a common question. Rather than a polished finish they have a very natural finish. The best way to see what that is would be to come by the displays on Route 5 in South Windsor to see the comprehensive displays at Birch Mountain Earthworks, LLC.
The walkway in this example is constructed with Interlocking Concrete Pavers. A big advantage with the pavers is that they can move with frost action during a freeze – thaw cycle. Unlike poured concrete that often will crack and break apart under the same type of conditions.
Finishing the landscape is the plantings, topsoil, mulch and lawn work. On any landscape project, this part is what gives the finish look to the job. The other advantage to the landscape component of the project is that it acts to stabilize the soil to help cut down on erosion as the new landscape is becoming established.

This was a major project, owned by the RTA, Government of Dubai. It was contracted to us on supply and installation basis. The total quantity was in excess of 40,000m2 of cut to size marble mainly for all public areas and public toilets. The most dominant stone was Crema Valencia from Spain, in addition to a number of other Spanish stones.
The major challenge was the delivery schedule. We had to complete the project within six months from approval. This meant we had to fast track our due diligence on the materials and supply chain. We also took extra precautions in securing the later as we could not risk any disruptions or delays for any reason.
Additionally, we set up three shifts at the factory in order to continue production 24 hrs. per day. And we placed 250 stone masons at site working round the clock on installation supervised by two full time Project Managers on site and a large team of site supervisors (Foremen).
The project was delivered on time and as per approved specs.

Road works are planned on the A12 near the Utrecht Galecopperbrug until 2024. The maximum speed on this route has therefore been adjusted. This also means that road users can be fined if they do not slow down in time for the road works. New in this traffic situation is that there is section control, whereby the adjusted maximum speed is in effect.
Check 24 hours a day
When there are road works, the speed limit is always reduced. This is to ensure the safety of road workers. In such cases, whether road users adhere to this is usually checked with speed cameras or movable speed cameras. On the A12, however, this will be done via section control. That means checking twenty-four hours a day whether traffic is slowing down for road works. This speed check is necessary, because in many cases road users do not reduce their speed for work. Driving too fast poses a great risk to themselves, but especially to road workers.
Installing section checks at road works is generally too expensive. However, the special situation on the A12 was that the route where the work is planned happens to be the same as the measuring route of the section control that is already in operation.
The Public Prosecution Service has indicated that violation of the speed limit during road works will be fined higher than for normal speed violations. For example: speeding twenty kilometers if a speed limit of 70 kilometers per hour applies, normally costs 146 euros. For road works, this fine rises to 187 euros.
Work until 2024
The road works on the Galecopper Bridge are planned to last until the spring of 2024. During this work there will be fewer or narrowed lanes on and around the Galecopper Bridge. L a ter this year it will even be possible to close the bridge completely. The speed limit will therefore also be in force until the beginning of 2024.

Using Trenchless Pipe Repair To Restore The Plumbing In A House You’ve Purchased
Buying a new home may sometimes include repairs. Among them are plumbing and sewer pipes, often overlooked in an inspection. Trenchless pipe repair in Chesaning, MI can help rejuvenate the plumbing and sewer system in your new home. Whether it needs minor or major work, it is an effective and convenient way to restore the plumbing infrastructure in a house you’ve purchased.
Trenchless Pipe Repair Solutions
Whether the seller or the buyer shoulders the repairs in a new house, they need proper methods for effective and noninvasive methods. Trenchless pipe repair rehabilitates underground pipes without digging or trenching. It allows plumbers to access and repair the pipe using specialized pipe lining equipment inserted through existing access points, such as cleanout openings or pipe ends.
One of the primary advantages of trenchless sewer repair is its non-destructive nature. It minimizes disruption to landscaping, driveways, and other structures. Additionally, trenchless techniques are faster and more cost-effective than traditional excavation methods. The pipe lining cures within a day and doesn’t leave a mess that needs extensive restoration later. Your new home stays intact, so don’t worry.
Trenchless Pipe Replacement Options
Trenchless pipe lining, also known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, is a popular method for repairing deteriorated or corroded pipes. In the case of old cast iron pipes, the best solution is replacement. Pipe bursting is another method where they destroy the old pipe in place. A new pipe replacement is simultaneously pulled in place, using the same trenchless methods.
In cases where pipe damage is severe or extensive, trenchless pipe replacement is necessary. This method involves inserting a new pipe liner or pipe segment into the existing pipeline. It also doesn’t need traditional excavation, minimizing disruption to your property.
If your new house needs pipe and sewer line repairs, your best option is trenchless technology. No matter what the final decision is on who pays for the services, it is a long-term solution that helps you start fresh. It also keeps your property in one piece, just as new. Call Sloan’s Septic Tank Service for expert pipe repair and replacement today. We are also available 24/7 for emergency repairs.


Approximately 30,000 dams in China are aging and are considered to be high-level risks. the specific methods (according to the circumstances and available data) this framework may be applied to other sites. was promulgated by the Ministry of Water Resources of China (MWR) in 2003. In fact, decommissioning is not widely accepted by water resource managers in China who worry about the potential increase in flood risk after a structure is decommissioned. In addition, there is no formal framework or guidelines for analyzing the changes of flood risks in that occur during aging-dam management. As a result, the progress of implementation of aging-dam management (especially for small and medium-sized dams) in China is slow. Furthermore, the effects of decommissioning on flood risk have not been adequately considered. Only a few examples that evaluated the impacts of dam removal on hydrology (rather than flood risk) can be found in the literature [6-9]. Developing a framework for flood-risk evaluation is essential for decision producing in the administration of maturing dams. In the domain of dam protection management, risk generally refers to the likelihood of dam failing (such as for example in the research Sotrastaurin biological activity of Kuo  and Kwon ). However, flood-risk analyses encompass the hazard flood event and its own possible outcomes. This report tries to handle this gap by way of a using spatial multiple-requirements framework for flood-risk evaluation. Decision producing for water-administration scenarios concerning flood risk requires multiple requirements, including economic, cultural and environmental requirements [12,13]. Decision makers must locate information regarding adjustments in spatial flood risk for determining regional hotspots and for developing regional immigration measures . Spatial multicriteria decision evaluation (MCDA) pays to for handling flood risk. MCDA is certainly Sotrastaurin biological activity thought as a assortment of approaches for examining geographic events that the outcomes of the evaluation rely on the spatial set up of events . You can find few studies which have utilized spatial MCDA in neuro-scientific flood-risk administration and evaluation. These studies weren’t completely in keeping with MCDA theory, or that they had goals not the same as aging-dam administration. For instance, Kubal  designated a pounds of 0.9 out of just one 1 to environmental criteria without explaining why they chose this extreme benefit, whereas Meyer  gave fat to indicators that only regarded the decision-makers goals. Raaijmakers  evaluated land-use alternatives predicated on their suitability as flood-risk management options for coastal zones where in fact the Sotrastaurin biological activity flood-management objectives will vary from those for areas downstream of the dam sites. Predicated on spatial MCDA theory, the study discussed here initial introduces an over-all framework for the spatial evaluation of adjustments in the multicriteria flood threat of aging-dam-administration scenarios; the framework is certainly then put on a research study. 2.?THE OVERALL Framework Predicated on HST-1 spatial MCDA theory , the major the different parts of the framework are generalized in Figure 1. The framework mainly includes the next eight steps: situation definition, issue structuring, criteria structure, spatial quantification of requirements, requirements weighting, decision guidelines, sensitivity analyses, and situation appraisal. Open up in another window Figure 1. The overall treatment of spatial multicriteria flood-risk evaluation in the administration of maturing dams. In the context of maturing dam administration, you can find three scenario classes: dam rehabilitation, demotion, and decommissioning. Dam rehabilitation identifies restoring or strengthening of the dam and appurtenant structures to attain an acceptable degree of protection and function without considerably lowering the initial Sotrastaurin biological activity design rank . Demotion means decrease in the look rank of the dam so that it still retains some economic benefits.


New York, U.S., Nov. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Overview of the building stone market
According to a comprehensive research report by Market Research Future (MRFR), “building stone market Information by Type, Application and Region – Forecast to 2030“, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% to reach USD 37,312.10 million by 2030.
Stones used in construction must be strong, resilient and free from material weak points, cracks and other defects that compromise their toughness and resilience. Quarrying is the process of obtaining stones from large solid boulders for construction purposes. The advantages of building stones over other materials, such as their non-toxicity, are increasingly well known. Due to this significant trend, future building materials will no longer be favored over building stones. Due to its toughness, resistance and attractive appearance, it is mainly used in wall coverings and flooring in residential and commercial spaces. It is used for monuments, statues and furniture. Compared to other natural stone products, it provides significant longevity and is relatively less expensive. The demand for building stone is increasing globally due to the rapid expansion of residential and commercial construction industries.
Marble and granite are used in patios, porches, backyards, and floors as they enhance the look of residential buildings, encouraging adoption.

The most popular building stone in the market is granite, which is mainly produced in China, Brazil, India, Spain and Saudi Arabia. The growing popularity of outdoor entertaining spaces in emerging economies has had a positive impact on the market, increasing the demand for building stones for wall cladding. Additionally, the demand for building materials like marble is increasing rapidly due to the increased use of furniture and memorial constructions. The construction industry will benefit from the increased demand for infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region, especially for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
However, the current climate change caused by global warming and resource depletion has led to the development of strict rules aimed at reducing emissions on a global scale and optimizing the use of natural resources. Government efforts to reduce stone quarrying thus limit the expansion of the global market. Developing countries produced a significant share of the world’s granite and exported a significant amount to the United States, one of the largest consumer markets. China is the largest marble producer by volume, but Italy is also one of the countries with abundant high quality marble resources. The market is growing mainly thanks to the construction industry, particularly in Asia. Due to the expansion of the infrastructure sector and the increase in consumer disposable income, the region is witnessing a surge in construction activity. The growing urbanization of the region also benefits the construction sector.

centreline flow measurements
When using the Quadrina insertion flowmeter, centreline measurements are quite feasible and frequently used. Ideally the point of mean flow is the best position at which to place the flowmeter. This point usually remains substantially constant even when the velocity profile changes its shape, as it will do when the fluid velocity alters. However, the exact location of the mean flow point can be a difficult place to position the flowmeter head due to the high slope of the velocity profile curve in this region. A small misplacement of the flowmeter head can make a measurably large error in the flow readings obtained.
Positioning the flowmeter head at the pipe centreline is much easier, mainly because the slope of the velocity profile curve is, in most cases, extremely low. Therefore, a small positional error of the head will, in general, produce a small, often negligible measurement error when using the centreline for measuremens.
Some additional care is necessary to ensure that readings obtained, when using the centreline, are properly corrected for the ratio of mean flow to centreline flow which in turn must be corrected for blockage caused by the flowmeter in the pipeline. Unfortunately the ratio is not a constant, it changes with flowrate, because it is largely reynolds number dependent (as Re increases so does Vmean to Vcentreline ratio), but in most cases a reasonable average value can be chosen to cater for the range of flows anticipated. To obtain a close tolerance ratio the Jestim Velocity Profile programme is ideal. This inexpensive and simple to use package runs on a laptop computer and enables full information about flow measurement location to be determined, complete with all blockage data.

Wood and Steel Stud Construction
ILI does not take an adversarial position regarding the use of steel or wood studs as backup material. Both systems can be made sufficiently stiff to support the lateral loads present in most areas. When ILI is asked to comment on such systems used in conjunction with Indiana Limestone, ILI will make the assumption that the system is sufficiently stiff to resist any lateral loading transferred to it from the stone through its anchoring system.
However, both wood and steel stud systems have potential drawbacks beyond lateral load resistance. These must be considered at the design stage.
Steel stud systems are controversial to some extent. Their connections are typically made with self-tapping screws which hold with only one or two threads, depending on the thickness of the stud material. Wall leaks may allow the entrance of sufficient moisture to attack the screw threads and reduce their strength over short periods. ILI recommends the use of bolts and nuts to attach stone anchors to steel studs and RECOMMENDS AGAINST THE USE OF SELF-TAPPING SCREWS FOR ATTACHMENT OF STONE ANCHORS TO STEEL STUDS.
Wood studs can be expected to shrink. Thus, stiff, brittle materials connected to them may be stressed, and masonry joints may fail. As in the case of steel studs, this condition may not be immediately apparent.
ILI’s general rule covering both systems is to approve them as backup materials for Indiana Limestone assuming proper engineering assessment of lateral loads and connections to the studs has been done, and assuming that the weight of the stone in gravity is carried by some other system (as, transferred to grade through stone-onstone construction).
In short, ILI does not recommend the practice of allowing wood or steel stud systems to carry gravity loads through attachment by supports to stud flanges or edges (as, continuous angles or clips attached to the stud flange and supporting stone in gravity).
ILI will comment on this subject to inquirers.


Our country’s roads, bridges, and transit systems are all in dire need of infrastructure upgrades and overhauls. Some experts argue they are more than three decades behind in repair and replacement.
But what is even more crucial and concerning and less talked about is the deterioration of the infrastructure related to safe drinking water and the safe elimination of wastewater.
Good, safe, reliable drinking water is critical to life, health, and safety.
Since indoor plumbing became common in the United States in the late 1800s, with Chicago being the first U.S. city to have a comprehensive sewer system in 1880, safe drinking water has all but eliminated such diseases as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery here.
To bring water to homes and businesses, the United States relies on a web of aging underground pipes, and these pipes are reaching their end of life usefulness. Water systems barely get a thought unless there is a system failure. These pipes are showing their age, with roughly 240,000 water main breaks per year, at a cost of $2.6 billion, and that figure doesn’t take into account the personal loss of property damage.
Water systems across the country are failing at a rapid rate, and the American Water Works Association (AWWA), estimates the failure of drinking water and wastewater systems could reach $1 trillion per year.
According to an October 25, 2018 article by Stormwater Solutions, “New Report Analyzes the State of U.S. Water Infrastructure,” local governments “pay for more than 95% of drinking water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure, with states making up most of the difference.” And it’s not inexpensive. The article goes on to state that “projects related to water will cost more than $532 billion in the coming decade, an increase of 28% from the previous decade.”
This is why the DuPage County Board unanimously approved a $118.5 million dollar capital project at the January 15th board meeting, which will upgrade, enhance, and protect the safety of DuPage County’s water supply, distribution systems, and wastewater collection and treatment systems (Resolution PW-R-0031-19). This resolution will allow DuPage County to be proactive in upgrading countywide water systems.
The first leg of the current capital program will focus on the Nordic Plant, with an $8.5 million project set to begin in 2020.
Safe drinking water and better wastewater management are critical to public health. Through proactive planning, DuPage County is preparing for necessary upgrades and maintenance, which will also include mandated state and federal government directives and guidelines, and will meet the needs of our residents for the next 20 years.


Cable Trough & Vaults Download Catalog
Cable troughs may be used for various reasons and are becoming more demanding with their simple installation and easy accessibility for future expansion and maintenance. Cable troughs provided by C & M have many options, all of which are customizable to your project needs. C & M offers two main types of cable troughs in various sizes; Medium Duty Pedestrian and Heavy Duty H-20 Road Crossing. All cable troughs offered by C & M are designed as a one piece section in different widths and depths (see size charts in each section).
Cable trough sections are manufactured in standard lengths of 10 feet. Shorter lengths may be needed for a project at which C & M will cast a custom size to fulfill the order.
Available in 24”, 30”, and 40”, and optional load ratings for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
The complete C&M Precast cable trough system includes a full line of End Caps, Tees, Crosses, and Reducers for limitless design flexibility.
The corner is cast with a window opening to fit the size of the adjacent cable trough. Corners can be made to most any length and the opening can be moved to almost any position on the cable trough.
Although crosses can be rare, there are still some scenarios where this is required. Crosses tend to be used in a situation where one cable trough run needs to be split into three separate cable trough runs. Crosses may also be used from one size trough to another size trough.
End caps provide a simple, clean terminus to a cable trough run while allowing for future expansion. Please note end caps when ordering.
C & M produces various sizes of cable troughs and often two cable troughs of different sizes are placed end-to-end. C & M will create a cable trough that has built in reducers to accommodate this transition.
There are many instances where either a single cable trough will need to split and go in two directions or where two cable trough runs will need to merge into one. A cable trough tee is a great option to accomplish these requirements. The window opening in a tee can be placed most anywhere on one side of the trough.
In the picture to the right there is a Medium Duty cable trough on the end of a Heavy Duty cable trough. Notice the inside walls line up but the outside walls do not. Heavy Duty cable troughs are generally located at road crossings or areas of heavy traffic.
C & M offers various sizes of Pulling Vaults with customizable options. Pulling Vaults are available in Medium Duty and Heavy Duty (H-20) ratings.
Pulling Vaults up to 48” tall are a one-piece design, excluding the lid. Riser extensions can be used for vault heights greater than 48”. See the size chart (next page) for weights and dimensions.
4” drain holes are standard; custom drain options available upon request.


Internal and external Drainage System
Currently, more and more often, both in new construction and in the reconstruction of existing networks, pipeline systems made of polypropylene are used. The popularity of polypropylene pipes and fittings is due to their undeniable advantage over traditional materials (cast iron, steel, reinforced concrete, polyethylene). The SINIKON plant produces pipes and fittings for four systems designed for internal and external Sewerage, as well as internal drain.
SINIKON Standard for internal pressure less sewage - the most popular system among buyers. Builders and designers appreciate the excellent combination of price and quality, and installers appreciate the ease of installation.
SINIKON Comfort was created as a product for use in the construction of luxury homes, hospitals, kindergartens, schools and similar institutions. The SINIKON Comfort system is made of modified polypropylene has a higher material density and increased wall thickness compared to conventional polypropylene pipes. SINIKON Comfort Plus allows you to further reduce the noise level in sewer systems. External sewage systems are an important element of both the urban environment and private construction.

Beginning Monday, contractors will start preparations for the $343 million Twin Ports Interchange reconstruction mission by putting in a collection of crossover lanes via the I-35 median — one every north and south of the 27th Avenue West overpass, and a 3rd one north of the Garfield Avenue overpass.
“The work we’re doing focuses on constructing the crossovers, in order that we’re prepared for spring development in April,” Pete Marthaler, a development supervisor with the Minnesota Division of Transportation’s Duluth workplace, mentioned.
Work early within the week will shut off single lanes each north and south on Interstate 35 between the 27th Avenue West and Garfield Avenue overpasses. The only-lane closures will raise after a couple of month — as an alternative of extended lane closures all through the winter as MnDOT as soon as anticipated.
“We mentioned we might have one lane in every route via the winter, however since then we have modified our minds on that,” Marthaler mentioned. “It’s going to most likely be for a pair weeks to a month. The contractor thinks they will be capable of open it up, and we cannot have everlasting lane closures.”
Ames Building, of Burnsville, Minnesota, and Kraemer Building, of Duluth, are the first contractors on a mission anticipated to run till no less than 2023.
The crossovers can be used starting subsequent April to shift visitors as vital.
As soon as the crossover lanes are put in, contractors will flip their consideration to the 27th Avenue West overpass. The bridge was constructed in 1966 and final rehabilitated in 1984. It is being changed as a part of the interchange mission.
Undertaking supervisor Pat Huston mentioned MnDOT checked out how the bridge match into the general interchange mission and decided that substitute now was the precise factor to do when it comes to economics and staging.
“If we didn’t exchange it with this mission, we might need to exit once more later and influence visitors each on 27th (Avenue) and I-35,” Huston mentioned. “With the substitute now, we can be ‘one-and-done’ within the mission space.”

The design life of recent bridges much like the 27th Avenue overpass is now 75 years, Huston added.
After the crossovers are full, contractors will stabilize the ramps round 27th Avenue West after which start excavating for the longer term bridge abutments. Throughout excavation and demolition, short-term single-lane closures will happen to accommodate work on the mission.
The ramps at 27th Avenue West will stay open, however the bridge won’t be open to cross visitors.
Doing work now permits all events to get acquainted with a mission that can dominate I-35 via Lincoln Park for no less than the subsequent three years.
“We’ll get the wrinkles ironed out on our working relationships earlier than we hit main stuff in March, April and Could,” Marthaler mentioned.
The Twin Ports Interchange reconstruction mission is designed to make the roadway safer by eliminating left-hand exits and blind merges, whereas additionally changing outdated bridge infrastructure all through the mission with a purpose to higher accommodate freight visitors.
Among the many work beginning subsequent spring would be the precise reconstruction of the 27th Avenue overpass together with the set up of a four-barrel field culvert routing Miller and Espresso creeks into the St. Louis River.
Site visitors travels on I-35 close to Garfield Avenue Thursday afternoon. Motorists must take care of lane closures beginning Monday. (Steve Kuchera / firstname.lastname@example.org)
Reconstruction work on the overpass is predicted to be accomplished in June 2021. The first detour for customers of the 27th Avenue overpass can be 40th Avenue West.
By late spring 2021, I-35 can be decreased to a single lane in every route between 27th Avenue West and Garfield Avenue till fall.
By late fall 2021, southbound I-35 visitors can be moved to Decrease Michigan Avenue in two lanes between Garfield Avenue and 22nd Avenue West, and northbound I-35 can be diverted to the present southbound lanes of I-35.
Two lanes of visitors in every route can be maintained till fall 2022, when one other configuration can be required.

As a proactive solution, hydroseeding emerges as a powerful tool for erosion control, offering a sustainable approach that benefits both your soil and the surrounding environment. Get started with Wise Oak Inc. today!
Hydroseeding for Erosion Control: Protecting Your Soil and Environment
Rapid Vegetative Cover
Hydroseeding involves a slurry of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water that is sprayed onto the soil. This mixture provides a protective layer, promoting rapid germination and the establishment of vegetation. The quick growth of grasses and plants creates a robust root system that effectively binds the soil together, preventing erosion caused by wind and water runoff.
Enhanced Soil Stability
One of the key advantages of hydroseeding is its ability to enhance soil stability. The mulch component in the hydroseed mixture acts as a protective barrier, shielding the soil from the impact of raindrops and surface water flow. This protective layer minimizes soil disturbance and reduces the risk of erosion, ensuring that your landscape remains intact and resilient.
Hydroseeding is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional erosion control methods. The use of biodegradable mulches and environmentally safe additives contributes to the overall health of the ecosystem. By choosing hydroseeding, you're not only safeguarding your property but also making a positive impact on the broader environment.
Customized Solutions for Varied Terrain
Whether your property is on a slope, near bodies of water, or in areas prone to erosion, hydroseeding offers customized solutions. The flexibility in seed mixtures allows for tailored approaches to address specific soil and terrain conditions. This adaptability ensures effective erosion control measures that suit the unique characteristics of your landscape.
Hydroseeding stands out as a holistic solution for erosion control, protecting your soil and the environment.
