What is the reason you should have 'Core Cut' ?
1. First and foremost to see what is under the roof. ( A roof can have other roofs below ).
2. It is important to see what type of roof deck is under the roof. - The most common roof deck is steel. If it is
not a steel deck then it is either wood, gypsum, " Tectum " or concrete . If you have a roofing contractor come
and take measurements and does not take a 'Core Cut' he is doing himself a huge injustice.
A) He will have no idea if there are other roofs below.
B) If there is one other or even two other roofs below, the contractor will
not know on how many dumpsters will be required for the removal and disposal, of the top roof and whatever
might be underneath.
C) If there arethree roofs that have to be cut off , labor cost for the tear off will be three
times more than if there was only one roof and the contractor will have to pay for 3 times more in dumpster
3. If there is no "Core Cut" taken the contractor will not know if the is wet insulation below.(unless your willing to
pay for a "moisture scan").
4. If there is no "Core Cut" the contractor can only hope for the best scenario, which would be, the roof that is
exposed is the only one and the deck below is steel (usually 22 gauge prime painted "B" decking)
5. Finally if there is no "Core Cut" , and the existing roof is removed and properly disposed of the contractor will
have no idea on how to secure the new insulation . If the 'deck' is steel the new insulation (which is not wet),
can stay. You will only have to pay for new insulation provided by the contractor that is wet !
6. If you have a concrete deck the contractor should install all the of the new insulation by adhering it to the
concrete with a foam adhesive.
7. If a 'Core Cut' or multiple 'Core Cuts' were taken , you and the contractor will learn exactly how many roofs
have to removed , if you still have a lot of dry insulation that can stay and how much wet insulation will be
disposed of and how many pieces of new insulation will be needed, & how to secure the new insulation,
preferably , two layers of "Polyisocyanurate" with an R-value = 20, can be secured with a three inch round
' Galvalume ' plates with a minimum of a 4.5 inch screw in the middle of each plate, that will fasten
the two layers of insulation and will bite a minimum of 1/2 inches into the 'steel deck'.
Watch the video below, which shows why you should take "Core Cuts" or a "Core Sample of your roof

On this day in 1863, the world's first passenger underground railway opened in London, called the London Metropolitan. Click here to see pictures and photos, and for more historical information.
I've been on many underground railways around the world. The ones I probably like the best are the NYC subways, San Francisco's BART, and the Paris Metro. To me, by far the prettiest is the Paris Metro. What is your favorite subway system?


The construction industry is in dire need of digital transformation. According to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute, the global construction sector is facing a $1.5 trillion productivity shortfall due to its lack of digitization. This number will only grow as the global population increases and more infrastructure is needed. The good news is that digital transformation has five ways to improve construction productivity.
Increase Workforce Productivity
The construction industry has long been an early adopter of new technologies, from using electric tools in the early 20th century to using computer-aided design in the late 20th century. However, the industry has been slower to embrace digital transformation, integrating digital technology into all aspects of a business. As a result, construction companies have been lagging behind other industries regarding workforce productivity.
The study by McKinsey & Company found that construction productivity has increased by just 1 percent annually over the past two decades, while manufacturing productivity has increased by 3.6 percent and agriculture by 1.8 percent. There are several reasons for this lack of progress, including the fragmented nature of the construction industry, which consists of thousands of small businesses; the low margin nature of the business, which leaves little room for investment; and the lack of standardization across projects, which makes it difficult to implement new technologies on a wide scale.
However, there are signs that the industry is beginning to change. An increasing number of construction firms are investing in digital technologies such as 3D printing, drones, and virtual reality.
Improve Project Management
Construction is an essential industry that helps to create the buildings and infrastructure we rely on daily. However, the construction industry has been slow to embrace digital technologies, resulting in inefficient project management and a high rate of errors. Construction companies need to undergo a digital transformation to improve their project management. By digitizing their processes, construction companies can track projects more effectively, reducing the likelihood of errors and increasing transparency.
In addition, several construction projects are delayed due to missing equipment. There are several accurate construction equipments tracking systems that can help monitor equipment with the help of GPS. Using these systems, you can monitor, locate, and recover equipment quickly so that all the projects are completed on time. Moreover, these systems can also help you get tampering alerts so that no damage is done to any of the equipment pieces, extending their life.
Optimize the Construction Process
The construction industry is one of the most important industries in the world. It contributes to the economy, provides jobs, and builds the infrastructure societies need. However, the construction industry has been slow to adopt new technologies. This has led to inefficiencies in the construction process, resulting in delayed projects and increased costs. One way to address this issue is through digital transformation. By digitizing the construction process, construction companies can optimize their workflow and improve project management.
Additionally, digital tools can help construction companies better communicate with their clients and partners, improving collaboration and coordination. Ultimately, digital transformation can help the construction industry become more efficient and productive, leading to better outcomes for everyone involved.
Enable Better Decision Making
The construction industry is lagging behind other industries regarding digital transformation. This is partly because construction projects are complex and often involve many stakeholders. As a result, construction companies have been slow to adopt new technologies that could help them improve how they manage projects.
However, there is increasing recognition of the need for construction companies to embrace digital transformation to enable better decision-making. By collecting and analyzing data, construction companies can gain insights into the performance of their projects and make more informed decisions about allocating resources.
In addition, new technologies can help construction companies improve communication and collaboration among project stakeholders. By digitizing their operations, construction companies can become more efficient and responsive to the needs of their clients.
Improve Safety and Quality
The construction industry has long been an early adopter of new technologies. From using cranes and bulldozers to the latest in 3D printing, construction companies have always looked for ways to improve efficiency and maintain a competitive edge. However, the industry has been slower to adopt digital technologies. This is starting to change as construction companies begin seeing the benefits of digital transformation.
The use of digital technologies can help improve safety and quality in the construction industry. For example, drones can help with site surveying and inspection, while augmented reality can be used to train workers on how to safely use the equipment. In addition, digital twins can be used to create virtual models of construction projects, allowing for better planning and coordination. By embracing digital transformation, the construction industry can improve safety and quality while reducing costs.
Digital transformation can help the construction industry close the productivity gap and meet the growing demand for infrastructure. Implementing some of the latest digital technologies allows construction companies to improve communication and collaboration, optimize their workflow, and make better decisions. In addition, digital transformation can help improve safety and quality while reducing costs. As the construction industry looks to the future, it is clear that digital transformation will be essential to meeting the challenges of tomorrow.


April 2023: Miyuki Hino
UNC-Chapel Hill Assistant Professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning
Understanding Sunny Day Flooding in North Carolina
“As we invest in more climate-resilient communities, it is critical to use the best possible evidence on the impacts of flooding, today and in future climates, to maximize the effectiveness of those investments.”
Prior to joining UNC-Chapel Hill, Hino was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, and received her Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Management from Stanford University. She has expertise in climate change impacts and adaptation, with a focus on extreme weather events and natural disasters.
What is the goal of your research on communities that experience sunny day flooding in the long run and what is the big solution?
We are a group of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University that collaborates with communities to measure, model, and better understand the causes and impacts of chronic coastal flooding in North Carolina.
Through our customized flood sensors and models, we are working with communities to help them plan for the future by identifying how often chronic floods occur, why they occur, where flood risk is highest, and how flooding may change in the future.
We currently have sensors deployed in Beaufort, Carolina Beach, and New Bern, NC. We work with our partner communities to identify locations that experience chronic flooding. Our team then installs water level sensors in stormwater drains and traffic cameras on nearby light posts.
The underground water level sensors help us monitor water levels even if they are not high enough to flood the road – this helps us estimate how sea level rise will impact chronic flooding in the future. Our traffic cameras help verify roadway flooding by taking pictures of the roadway every 6 minutes.
Flooding is already occurring dozens of days each year in North Carolina’s coastal communities. Moreover, flooding occurs more often than tide gauge-based proxies would suggest. In our initial deployment in Beaufort, NC, we detected water on the roadway 24 times in five months. 25% of those events were due to combined rain and tidal forces and would not have been detected by tide gauges.
By more accurately measuring how often these floods occur and what causes them, we can better diagnose the impacts they have on people and businesses and how that might evolve due to climate change. As we invest in more climate-resilient communities, it is critical to use the best possible evidence on the impacts of flooding, today and in future climates, to maximize the effectiveness of those investments.
What are some of the most effective strategies for reducing the impacts of sunny day flooding, and how can these strategies be implemented at the local level?
There are a range of potential solutions for managing coastal flood risk, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Funding is a definite challenge, especially for smaller towns and rural areas that have less capacity to apply for and administer big infrastructure grants. While there are short-term costs for investing in upgrading infrastructure or doing wetland restoration to reduce flood frequency, there are also immediate benefits – when roads are underwater on a monthly basis (or more often, as we see in our partner communities), that affects the ability of kids to get to school, customers to get to businesses, patients to get to medical care. So, understanding the impacts of these chronic events can help policymakers advocate for investments that increase the climate resilience of their communities.

With about $192,000 remaining from the anonymous grant given to repair Neligh's Mill Bridge, funding may be available for more projects concerning the bridge.
The City Council discussed the possibility of using the remaining funds during Tuesday's meeting but decided to table action until more information is available.
The Mill Bridge officially reopened last November thanks to the generosity of a $650,000 grant for the repairs. The 2010 flooding of the Elkhorn River washed away the south bank.
Although no action was taken at the meeting, city attorney Jim McNally will write a letter to the donors' attorney with a proposal detailing anticipated project, including sandblasting and painting the bridge and street improvements near the bridge.
Former Mayor Jeri Anderson said it was suggested to sandblast the bridge now while the river is iced over. The painting and street work would come later.
For the street project, McNally suggested using milling from the airport runways rather than concrete to lower the cost of the project.
The City is waiting on a contractor to estimate sandblasting and painting the bridge. Some aspects of the project may be lower than $30,000, which would make it unnecessary to let bids.

It was recently Bike To Work day in Glendale and from all my bike loving friends I heard that was pretty cool. But did you know that the City of Glendale has teamed up with Los Angeles County Biking Coalation to have a month of bike riding activities? I didn’t know until I visited their website. You should as well!
The City of Glendale Traffic & Transportation Division currently is trying to bring Glendale to present with a new revison of the city’s Bikeway Master Plan. The city is preparing the Honolulu Avenue Road Diet Test Case (“Project”). What this means is that in certain parts of the city, bike lanes will be installed and the current roads will be narrowed. The website describes the actual prjoect in these terms:
Key Project characteristics include:
- The Project’s easterly limit will be Orangedale Avenue. The Project’s westerly limit will be based upon funding availability; Public Works anticipates the westerly limit will fall between La Crescenta Avenue and Whiting Woods Road.
- The existing and proposed cross sections of Honolulu Avenue are described below:
- Between Orangedale Avenue and La Crescenta Avenue, the existing four through travel lanes will be reduced to two through travel lanes (one per direction). In lieu of the two through travel lanes being eliminated, a two-way-left-turn lane and designated bicycle lanes (one per direction) will be created. Existing separate left-turn lanes and on-street parking will continue to be provided.
- Between La Crescenta Avenue and (approximately) Whiting Woods Road, the existing four through travel lanes will be reduced to two through travel lanes (one per direction). In lieu of the two through travel lanes being eliminated, designated bicycle lanes (one per direction) will be created. The existing two-way-left-turn lane, separate left-turn lanes, and on-street parking will continue to be provided
You can read more about it here.
We just hope that the City of Glendale and the County of Los Angles provides it’s citizen’s a fair amount of education about sharing the road between Cars and Bikes. I’m a little nervous because as Urban Toot has reported in the past (http://urbantoot.com/bad-driver-bad/) Glendale has the third worst driving record in the country. I cringe to think what it will be like having more bicyclists on the road.
- Wear a helmet.
- Follow all traffic laws (including stopping for all redlights)
- Use hand signals.
- Adults, stay off the sidewalk!
- Always be in control of your bike!

Are you having problems with your septic tank? Like any other home component, septic systems need routine maintenance. What are the warning signs of septic system failure? If your shower, bathtub, and sinks drain very slowly, then it is one sign of septic system failure. If you notice dampness or standing water near the septic tank, or you hear gurgling sounds in your plumbing system, these are also manifestations of a failing septic system. Bright green and spongy lush grasses over and around the septic tank or drain field, and a foul odor are also indicators of a failing septic tank. Let’s learn why septic tanks need to have preventive maintenance.
The purpose of a septic tank preventive maintenance is to ensure that you have a reliable septic tank for the next coming years, reducing risk of danger and costly failures. You have to be aware and understand that every septic system has its own operational lifespan and will need eventual replacement. If your septic tank is malfunctioning, there is a great risk to the health of humans and animals, causing pollution to our environment. As a responsible septic tank owner, it is important to always be alert to the warning signs of septic tank malfunctioning or failure, and perform the necessary actions to address the problems. A prompt response will save you money on Driveways Hartford repairs and replacement, as well as reduce the negative impacts on the environment.
What happens if your Septic Systems Norwich fails? It can cause untreated sewage to be released and transported to places where it should not go, finding its way into surface water, groundwater, or marine water. The contaminants and pathogens like bacteria, virus, fungus, and parasites present in untreated sewage can be the cause of morbidity and mortality of humans, plants, and animals. An failing septic tank usually needs to be replaced before it can contaminate water sources used for drinking, swimming, and agricultural uses. What are the reasons why your septic tank may malfunction or fail? There might be a problem with your pipe line caused by clogging, so it needs to be unclogged to allow smooth flow of sewage.
Clogging of the snake line can be prevented by only flushing human waste and toilet paper down the drain. A blocked inlet baffle, and failed drain field may cause septic tank failure. If you need to hire a professional septic tank repair specialist, allow us to help you out by visiting our homepage or website now. The health of your septic tank reflects the health of your family and pets.

Lean-to greenhouses are constructed on south-facing walls on your house, patio, shed, or garage. This small-to-medium type of structure is most often made with a wooden frame and glass or clear polycarbonate panels for the greenhouse cover material. Lean-to greenhouses are ideal for starting seedlings.
Quonset greenhouses date back to World War II, when they were popular on military bases for their ability to be constructed quickly, yet soundly. They’re constructed cylindrically, with galvanized structural steel tubing for the frame and clear, flexible plastic sheeting for the cover. These are suitable for an aquaponics greenhouse design.
Saw Tooth Greenhouse
Saw tooth greenhouses have earned their name due to their interesting shape. Their roof is constructed such that one side is higher than the other, creating a distinctive notch at the center. This is done for the purpose of achieving maximum ventilation. Ventilator fans can be installed in the notch, or a more lo-fi version without fans can simply achieve natural ventilation with the wind via vent holes. Saw tooth greenhouse are an excellent choice for gardeners in humid environments, for those growing plants vulnerable to too much humidity, or for an aquaponics greenhouse.
This asymmetric style of greenhouse is designed to make the most of hilly terrain. The pitch and the width of the roof is unequal, with the wider side of the roof facing the south for maximum solar exposure. They’re typically constructed with wooden frames and film greenhouse cover material. The plants within can be grown in either terraced rows or raised beds. Uneven-span greenhouses are constructed with wooden frames and glass or polycarbonate coverings. Additionally, the northern wall can be opaque to conserve heat.
Ridge and Furrow Greenhouse
This style is created from two or more even-span greenhouses joined together. These large structures are perfect for gardeners who require a large amount of space for growing a high volume of flowers or vegetables. These can be built with metal or wooden frames and glass or polycarbonate roofs. One key issue to consider with this style is ensuring that the soil will drain adequately, as their large surface area can easily become saturated with water.
Gothic Arch Greenhouse
The major benefit of this style of greenhouse is the structural strength inherent to the gothic arch. They’re durable, resistant to snow accumulation, energy- and cost-efficient, and the shape is aesthetically pleasing. These are typically made with wooden frames and polycarbonate sheeting or polyethylene film for the roof. One additional benefit of this style is that the height can allow for growing vines and even small trees.
A hoop greenhouse is essentially a quonset greenhouse built on a smaller scale. They’re constructed with galvanized steel tubing or PVC for the frame, with a transparent film covering stretched over its circular shape.
A favorite of DIY gardeners, A-frame greenhouses have a classic triangular shape and can be built with whatever material best suits your light, space, and watering needs. Structurally, they provide lots of overhead space, so they’re ideal for adding hanging baskets.
Geodesic Dome Greenhouse
This fascinating shape is the most wind-resistant of all greenhouse designs, making it a good choice for gardeners in areas with harsh weather. The dome is constructed of a network of steel or PVC tubes, and the panel-style covering can be either polycarbonate or glass. Because of their unique geometry, geodesic domes are generally not recommended to be used as an aquaponics greenhouse. Their paneled roofs allow too much sunlight and cannot provide adequate ventilation.
Cold Frame and Hot Bed Greenhouse
This is the smallest type of greenhouse. Cold frame/hot bed combinations are perfect for gardeners with limited backyard space. They’re easily constructed from glass sash for the angled frame covering, and require materials like wood, brick, or concrete to create an insulated rectangular base.
Designed with symmetry in mind, even-span greenhouses have a classic shape featuring a roof of equal slope and pitch. These are one of the most classically recognizable greenhouse shapes. They can be made with metal or wooden frames, and their straight lines make them an ideal candidate for rigid coverings like glass or polycarbonate. These medium-to-large sized structures can be used for a solid aquaponics greenhouse design.

the citizens up to date with possible future projects as they develop in
the 2012 general election the Ash Township Board has been working on
prioritizing potential road improvement projects for the coming years.
If you and your neighbors want to have your road considered for
improvements there are several avenues that you could take. The most
effective would be to circulate a petition amongst your neighbors and
collect as many signatures as possible. A general petition can be
obtained at the Ash Township office. Other avenues are emails to the
Ash Township manager, the Ash Township board members or contacting the
Monroe County Road Commission directly. Road funding continues to be
the largest budgeted item in the Ash Township budget. Even with that
said funding for road improvements falls well below the amount needed.
most areas of the Township is served by Ash Township water there is
still a number of roads without municipal water. Currently there are no
immediate plans to extend municipal water to those under served
properties. If you would like the township to consider the creation of a
special assessment district for a water main extension project, a
petition would need to be circulated amongst the property owners who
could potentially benefit from a water main extension. A petition can
be obtained by contacting the Ash Township water department.

The movement along the Crimean bridge was opened on May 15. Within four months, the traffic almost twice exceeded the annual indicators of the Kerch Strait, the Crimean Bridge Information Center reports. More than two million cars passed through the new highway, and throughout the past year, 1.32 million buses and cars were used.
Every day about 27 thousand cars pass by a new bridge. On Sunday, August 12, the record traffic amounted to 33.4 thousand cars.
According to the information center, the most common violation of traffic rules on the Crimean bridge is the non-observance of speed limits. Immediately after the opening of the bridge, the automated traffic control system fixed up to 4.5% of the violators in the stream. Now their share does not exceed 1.5%.
Non-fulfillment of the distance and speed regime became ten times the cause of road accidents on the Crimean bridge. In four cases, there were victims. Since May 15, 167 cars have been evacuated from the Crimean bridge, mainly because of an accident.

Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
Out of the 13,500 labourers employed by US Central Pacific to build a railroad spanning the country, 12,000 were Chinese immigrants. This was due to the fact that young men were involved in the Civil War, and the labour pool was sparse.
Eight Chinese labourers were selected to lay the last rail when the project was completed in 1869 – a testament to the dedication of those Asian-Americans who worked on the Transcontinental Railroad.

State bridge inspectors are touring Winneshiek County over the next few days--and their presence is already being felt.
Bridge #354 (known as the Hutchinson Bridge) and Bridge #199 (on 241st Street) have been closed to traffic.
Hutchinson Bridge is located on Scenic River Road, just off the Bluffton Road. While the bridge is closed to traffic due to advanced deterioration, the road is open to the bridge and nearby campground. County officials say they will be looking at the bridge to see what temporary repairs can be made to open it to traffic weighing under three tons.
Bridge #199 located on the part of 241st Avenue which is classified as a "Class B Road," meaning it receives reduced maintenance. Inspectors closed the road due to an abutment failure. The bridge will be closed indefinitely.

Excavating for Efficiency
- released by OPSU Campus Communications 06-28-07

Goodwell, Okla. — The new Science and Ag Building construction on the Oklahoma Panhandle State University is progressing on schedule. The slab foundation for the ground level floor has been poured and work continues on the tunnel that will house utility lines. The 3’ deep, 4’ wide, and approximately 312’ long underground structure runs from the north side of the new construction to the front of Holter Hall. Chilled water lines and supply and return air ducts will tie into existing lines, and steam, condensate return and data transmission lines will also utilize the space. This represents a cost saving feature because using the extra capacity in the existing lines will enhance the energy efficiency of the new facility. After all of the lines are in place, the tunnel will be covered with concrete, but will feature removable sections that allow for maintenance.
The structural steel for the building is scheduled to begin going up following the Fourth of July holiday, and the two-story, over 32,000 square-foot building will be ready for students in the 2008 fall semester. The new construction is made possible by the $6.53 million allotted to OPSU as part of the $500 million capital bond issue passed by the 2005 Oklahoma legislature for infrastructure improvements at all public college and university campuses in the state.

GET YOUR SEWAGE PROBLEMS ADDRESSED HERE!
Arzelles.net is the contact point to sort out issues with sewer lines or related underground utility problems. Here, we make use of no-dig or trenchless technology as per which no major excavation is needed for such jobs.
This new technology utilizes certain specialized equipment with which one can have access to certain utilities like electrical cabling or sewer lines without much mess up in the surface area above. In most cases, small holes are bored through the ground right at the point where repairs are needed. There is little requirement for large-scale digging. These processes tend to be not just quicker but also easy on the pocket than conventional methods of sewer line repair.
Other advantages of trenchless technology are that it is a safer method for doing such jobs. The risk factor involved in excavation and its related work is not just to the workers involved in it, but also to those living in the vicinity, the pets and stray animals moving around and more so to children playing in the area. A big hole in the ground is a risky proposition to all who are anywhere near it until the time it is open. Those around it can heave a sigh of relief only once it is totally covered up.


The MOSIC project stands for Sustainable, Smart and Connected Mobility in Last Mile Systems
(in Spanish: Movilidad Sostenible, Inteligente y Conectada en sistemas de última milla)
Start date: May 1, 2020
Finish date: December 31, 2023
The urban distribution of goods (also known as the last mile) is crucial for cities, covering the stretch between the distribution centers and the final delivery to the end consumer. The rise of e-commerce has increased economic activity and goods transportation by 38% in cities, with expectations of annual growth of 8%. However, this poses logistical challenges such as optimizing delivery times and urban congestion.
Currently, most last-mile deliveries are made with vans, which is inefficient and polluting. The use of drones is limited by regulations and a lack of infrastructure. New solutions are emerging to improve urban goods transportation sustainably.
A new approach to last-mile transportation is needed, considering maneuverability, route optimization, and the use of lighter and more sustainable vehicles. In addition, the automotive industry is moving towards electric motors and lighter materials to reduce CO2 emissions.
In this context, the MOSIC project emerges, proposing an integrated, efficient, and sustainable last-mile delivery system. It includes a principal land vehicle and an auxiliary aerial vehicle, both equipped with advanced technologies for emissions reduction and delivery optimization.
The land vehicle will be zero-emission and will feature weight reduction technologies and integrated city management. The auxiliary aerial vehicle will be powered by hydrogen energy and will be equipped with autonomous detection and landing systems.
MOSIC aims to develop a last-mile delivery system that combines the coodinated use of a ground vehicle and aerial vehicle.
The project will seek to demonstrate the effectiveness of this integrated system in a controlled urban environment, showing the capability of deployment and return of the aerial vehicle without risks.
Entecnia's main objective in this project is to develop a software tool to define, analyze and optimize semi-active shock absorbers.
The project was supported by the Government of Navarre through the strategic projects 2021-2024, and was included in the VOLTA challenge: Zero-emission Vehicles, Long Range and Advanced Technology.


Sump Systems – The Correct Way to Prevent a Floating Vinyl Liner
Skip Down to Video – Sump Install
Do you have clay as your soil base? Do you have a high water table? Do you have water issues?
Water takes the path of least resistance and will essentially find any gap around your pool to fill into. If you have a high water table or a soil base that doesn’t allow water to run through it easily, you can get what is called a “floating liner”. When the ground water pressure is more than the water pressure inside the pool, it essentially pushes the liner off the vermiculite bottom.
The pool water in the pool didn’t have enough pressure to hold back the ground water. While this can happen to anyone that doesn’t have enough water in the pool, it can also happen when your pool is completely full of water. The way to prevent this is to find a way to remove all the water from underneath your pool.
The Traditional Way to Create A Sump System for Swimming Pools
- Dig a 3′ – 4′ deep hole next to the pool
- Put a 4″ – 5″ diameter piece of PVC into the hole
- Fill the bottom with washed rock
- Put a sump pump into the pit to take out all the water
There are Major Flaws with this System
- It doesn’t work, we replace liners all the time that have customers who accept the fact that liners float
- The majority of the time liners float in the deep end where the most water collects, traditional sump systems only go 3′ – 4′ down
- What happens in the winter when the discharge pipe freezes and the water has no place to go?
A swimming pool sump system should do two things: first, it has to catch the ground to allow it seep into the earth. And, secondly, it has to have a way to pump the water out when it gets full.
How Penguin Pools Builds Sump Systems
Penguin Pools builds sump systems for vinyl liner pools and fiberglass swimming pools much differently than anyone else. We over-dig the depth of the pool 24″ – 36″ in the entire deep end hopper. For this 8′ deep pool we hit ground water at 6′ down.
Our Sump Pump Process
We then fill in the over-dug hopper with roughly 12″ of 1″ washed rock. This rock doesn’t have any fine shards or powder in it, allowing water to run through it with no resistance . . . yet it will not settle!
When there is a good base of stone in the bottom of the hopper, Penguin Pools places a PVC rectangle in the bottom of the hopper. The rigid PVC (1.5″ or 2″) has holes drilled into it every 2″ – 3″, allowing water to fill up in the piping. This will be our way to remove the water with the pool pump . . . Yup, we run a plumbing line directly to the pool pump. * Notice how the rock doesn’t settle as the guys walk on it, even with it being saturated with water on wet clay!
Once the PVC grid is placed on the washed rock, cover it with landscape fabric to help prevent dirt from clogging it up over the years.
Fill the sump system with rock, holding the felt in place, until you get to the elevation you need for the vermiculite.
You can now pour your vermiculite like normal knowing that you have a completely functional sump system in the pool.
The sump system that Penguin Pools builds, allows water to collect at the lowest point of the pool and naturally drain into the ground. It also allows you to simply turn a valve and remove all the water from under your pool. You will have to install a discharge pipe if you use a cartridge filter (3 way valve after the filter) or simply turn your sand filter valve to waste if that is what you use.
While Penguin Pools has never had a floating liner with this system, there is nothing to say that we can’t. However, this system uses standard home building practices to remove water while allowing the ground to absorb as much as it can.
Penguin Pools can also use an existing main drain line to create a sump system and get rid of your water issues. We take out the liner, cut the main drains out, and build the above system using the already run main drain line for your sump system. This process is usually best when you get your vinyl liner replaced so you aren’t paying for you liner replacement twice.
Here is a sump system that we installed in Muskego, WI. Notice how the ramp also gets washed rock, that way any water that gets to the ramp will drain to the bottom where it can be sucked out.


As mentioned at the Downtown Development Forum on Aug. 17, 2022, the Indiana Department of Transportation plans to begin construction on Ind. 22 in spring 2023. This will affect traffic on Main Street through Upland for several months, through fall 2024.
The purpose of this project is to address deteriorated pavement and bridge conditions, improve pedestrian facilities, and provide streetscape amenities within downtown Upland.
Proposed improvements include a bridge replacement over the CERA railroad, fulldepth pavement replacement from Urban Street to the entrance of Taylor University, improved pedestrian facilities
as needed, and drainage improvements.
Additionally, within downtown Upland, streetscape, including on-street parking, sidewalk bump-outs, and upgraded lighting is proposed.
During construction, Ind. 22 will be closed to through traffic. One-lane, one-way operations will be maintained in the construction zone for local access only. INDOT states that access to residences and businesses will be provided at all times.
The planned official detour will utilize Ind. 22, Ind. 26, and I-69 (click here to see the route).
Hard copies of the construction schedule and phases are also available at Town Hall.


The heat preservation and anti-freezing system of ohlbno heating cable pipeline adopts very reliable electric heating technology, which heats the pipes, fluids or other process equipment that need heat preservation and anti-freezing, and makes up the heat lost by the fluids, so as to keep the temperature within the allowed range.
Quick startup: once there is a temperature difference between the set temperature of the system and the surface temperature of the pipe or equipment, the system will start up quickly in a very short time.
Temperature uniformity: the heat output control of eubno pipeline insulation and anti-freezing system is carried out according to the actual temperature of the pipeline. When the fluid in the pipe is still or the liquid level is different, the system can automatically adjust the calorific value to ensure the pipeline temperature uniformity.
Energy-saving economy: accurate temperature control can save unnecessary heating system, save living hot water recirculation system, reduce the use of buried deep pipe materials, thus reducing the installation cost and initial investment, but also reduce the daily operating costs.
Safe and reliable: high quality heating cable products, the use of very safe and reliable to avoid the occurrence of freezing pipe accidents caused by extremely cold winter days.
Application: eubno heating cable pipeline insulation and antifreeze system is suitable for various pipeline systems and process equipment, valves, tank antifreeze treatment and temperature maintenance. Such as


The Routt County Regional Building Department is dedicated to serving the citizens of Routt County. Our primary goal is not to simply regulate, but to help educate and train the construction industry and serve as a resource for technical information in order to raise the level of awareness with regard to building safety. Public service is our main function and the key element in administering the building codes that serve to protect the best interests of the citizens of the Routt County region.
The Building Department office is located on the second floor of the Courthouse Annex Building in downtown Steamboat Springs. Typical office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For specific information with reference to work schedules and availability to meet with staff members, please feel free to call the office at (970) 879-5566, or stop by for a personal visit.
Why Building Codes?
The purpose of building codes is to safeguard public health, safety, and welfare related to occupancy and use of buildings and structures. These objectives are met by regulating and controlling the design, materials, construction, fire and safety, occupancy, and other construction criteria for all buildings and building service equipment.
Routt County and the municipalities within it (Steamboat Springs, Hayden, Oak Creek, and Yampa) have each adopted a model building code and related codes, which contain provisions intended to provide a reasonable degree of safety to the citizens of Routt County.
There are four different types of codes and each regulates the installation of that phase of work. Building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical and energy conservation are the systems regulated by these codes.
Permits are required for all construction, installation, alteration, repair, and demolition to any building or building service equipment in Routt County (separate permits are required for building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, etc.). Certain types of work are exempt from permit requirements. It is very important that individuals contact the Building Department to fully understand what types of work are exempt from permits before proceeding.
The most commonly misunderstood permit exemption in rural Routt County is for agricultural buildings. The intent of the permit exemption for agricultural buildings is to allow individuals involved in an agriculturally based business to construct buildings used for the sole purpose of providing shelter for agricultural implements, farm products, livestock, or poultry. Therefore, buildings where the entire building or portions of it are used for storing items such as passenger motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats, etc., or which are used as workshops are not exempt from building permit requirements. If there is any question as to whether a permit is required, it is best to call and ask.
Permit Applications and Special Approvals
The Routt County Regional Building Department is currently responsible for the administration of building codes for all municipalities within the county, except the Town of Hayden, as well as unincorporated rural Routt County.
To obtain a permit, applicants are required to file an application for the proposed work at the Routt County Regional Building Department located in the Courthouse Annex Building in downtown Steamboat Springs. Applicants are required to provide the following information:
- A description of the work to be covered by the permit for which application is made.
- A description of the land on which the proposed work is to be done (i.e., legal description, street ad dress or similar description that will readily identify and definitely locate the proposed building or work).
- Indicate the use or occupancy (i.e., residence, garage, etc.) of the building for which the work is intended. Three sets of plans and/or specifications that accurately describe the nature of the work to be performed. The valuation of all work for which application is made, to include all labor and material costs. (Note: The Building Department staff can assist with this information.)
- The square footages of the job need to be given in relation to type of space (i.e., garage, finished/ unfinished, basement, deck square footages).
Plans and/or specifications that are submitted for review need to be drawn to scale and must be clear. For more detailed material as to what information is required to be included in plans and/or specifications a booklet entitled General Guidelines for Permits, Inspections, and Approvals may be obtained from the Building Department or online at http://www.co.routt.co.us/building .
There are fees for plan review and permits, and there may be additional fee assessments, such as use tax on building materials. Fees must be paid prior to the issuance of permits. Detailed information about the fee schedules for plan review and permits, and other fee assessments may be obtained from the Building Department and online.
After applications are completed, the Building Department will review, approve, and issue a permit. When a permit is issued, the Building Department will stamp the plans and specifications APPROVED. The approved plans are not to be changed or modified without authorization from the Building Department, and all work must be done in accordance with the approved plans. The Building Department may issue permits for parts of the project (i.e., foundation only and shell permits) before the entire plans for the building or building service equipment have been submitted or approved. The holder of the partial permit may proceed without assurance that the permit for the entire building will be granted or that changes may be required based on the final plan review and approval.
Construction work shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes until approved by the Building Department. It is the responsibility of all permit holders to make sure that the work is ready for inspection and that the job is accessible and exposed for inspection purposes.


Stormwater funding on its wayFeb 03, 2022 03:13PM ● By Travis Barton
With new federal funds, Holladay will prioritize its stormwater system. (Cassie Goff/City Journals)
By Travis Barton | [email protected]
With funding from the American Rescue Plan Act coming in 2022, Holladay city officials have prioritized stormwater.
Holladay is set to receive $3.6 million in funding from ARPA, with $1.8 million already arrived and the other half expected in July. Funds are meant to provide tools for cities to recover from the pandemic so money must be spent on eligible uses outlined in the act’s legislation. Funds must also be committed by December 2024 and spent by December 2026.
During a Jan. 20 council meeting discussion, elected officials directed city staff to prioritize stormwater funding with initial talks signaling 50% going toward stormwater infrastructure. The other half would go toward projects to be named later.
“I love the idea of investing in stormwater and that way not have to raise the stormwater fee,” said Mayor Rob Dahle during the meeting, noting they could keep the fee set for 10 years rather than having to steadily raise it.
Councilman Paul Fotheringham agreed stormwater was a priority, adding it was also “a responsibility on the city” to manage.
“I don’t mind spending a whole mama on this,” he said during the meeting.
Other initial project ideas from city staff on where to allocate the money were public health, economic opportunity and recovery, broadband and housing.
City staff and council will discuss more specifics at its Feb. 10 council meeting.


With a vast selection of warm water underfloor heating solutions for you to choose from. We design, supply and install underfloor heating, we also supply and install your finish floor.
Underfloor heating is the most popular way to heat your home, UFH is a means of heating a full property by installing heating pipes within your floor, these pipes carry warm water to each floor area. The heat produced will radiate through the floor to heat the room from below.
Underfloor heating has a number of benefits over a radiator heating system. They all come down to a simple point – underfloor heating requires less energy to run. The average UFH system uses between 15-40% less energy than a radiator system, it requires a much lower flow temperature to heat the room due to its size and dimensions.
The result is that you will experience a more evenly comfortable level of heating, particularly as you can easily control the heat with a simple to use room thermostat. With radiators, you can sometimes experience the air becoming dry at times. Underfloor heating will actually conserve the moisture in the air, preserving a more comfortable atmosphere.
With a floor heating system installed you can program individual zone (room) temperatures. This means you don’t need to heat rooms you are not using, you can achieve each room’s ideal heating requirement. This gives you not only an improved level of comfort, but also produces a significant saving when compared to traditional systems.
Yes, the floor heating system you end up using will mainly depend on the subfloor your fitting to. Please Contact Us and lets discuss your project in more detail.
Yes, our UFH designers use CAD software to accurately design your underfloor heating system. This allows us to be very accurate when calculating heat loss and flow rates. Your CAD design is shipped with every order and its also held on file should you need a copy.
We can do both, we supply our water based underfloor heating systems throughout the UK. We also provide a full installation service, our installation services in and around Edinburgh and the east coast of Scotland.

Plans are under way to build a new nursery and primary school in Veräjäpelto.
Veräjäpelto School Complex in Leppävaara to be designed in cooperation with future tenants
Plans are under way to build a new nursery and primary school for Finnish-speaking and Swedish-speaking children in Veräjäpelto. The detailed local plan for the area has been amended to enable the construction of a state-of-the-art school complex. The aim of the proposed amendment to the Veräjäpelto detailed local plan is to demolish some of the old school buildings and build a new school and nursery. The potential need to expand Leppävaara Sixth Form in the future will also be factored into the new plan. Veräjäpelto is located next to Leppävaara Sports Park in the corner of Veräjäpellonkatu road and Lintuvaarantie street.
The area currently houses Leppävaara Sixth Form and Leppävaara and Veräjäpelto schools. There are a total of 18 buildings in the area, including six school buildings, a sports centre, five administrative buildings, an indoor football facility, and one residential property with an adjacent sauna.
Cafés, restaurants and office space in a historical setting
The old school building has been given special protection in the detailed local plan. As well as being an important landmark for the area, the building has both cultural and historical significance, and its characteristics will be preserved in the renovation project. The plan enables adding an extension to the historical building.
The oldest building in the area, a listed residential property, dates from the 1913, and its characteristics also need to be preserved in the renovation project.
The project is due to start at the beginning of 2017, and the new school could be finished by the summer of 2020. The amendment is awaiting approval from the City Council.


Offshore Construction in Shipping Industry, Benefits & Beyond
Offshore construction opens new horizons for the shipping industry. It covers an array of facilities built away from the shore and makes the production of many valuable resources possible. It is with these structures that the production of oil, gas and electricity becomes a reality. Even the transmission of these resources onshore is a part of the complete process. There are different types of offshore structures that cater to various needs. Let’s give you an insight into these varying structures, their benefits and areas that are concern worthy.
Offshore Structures: There are commonly three types of offshore structures, including oil and gas platforms, subsea pipelines, and wind farms. Among these, the oil and gas platforms are the most common with floating and fixed structures. The floating structures are usually close to the surface while the fixed ones are extended underneath the ocean. These facilities come with corrosion protection. The subsea pipelines facilitate the transportation of oil and gas. A part of geotechnical engineering is the wind farms that have been playing a significant role in producing electric power.
Each of these offshore structures makes a significant contribution and enumerated below are the macro-level advantages of offshore construction in the marine industry.
- Improved Efficiency: These offshore structures are proving more productive and efficient than their onshore counterparts. The reduced transmission pipeline for gas reduces transportation and construction cost. Likewise, the wind farms are producing a far higher amount of electricity as against the onshore facilities.
- SME Level Job Market: The offshore construction work is challenging and needs professionals who are subject matter experts who can take responsibility to deliver effectively. So, the offshore construction vertical opens newer, more challenging, and prestigious job openings.
- Geographical Advantage: With offshore construction, the geographical positioning of the structure can work to your advantage. You always have the option of installing the facility near the client location bringing down the financial cost and enabling in optimum utilisation of energy.
- The offshore construction process is also environment friendly. While it reduces human interference on the ecosystem, the precise impact on marine life is still open to discussion. Adhering to environment safety norms and catering to multiple offshore construction projects in the Middle East and Indian sub-continent is Alphard Maritime. Some of the projects that the team has successfully delivered include LNG Terminal – Bahrain, LNG Terminal – Kuwait, JSW Project – India, The Heart of Europe – UAE, Resort Development – Maldives and many more. The other prestigious projects include L&T Chhatrapati Shivaji Project, India and CHHARA LNG Terminal Development – India.
