My name is Kim and, along with my husband and four children, I’m a returning volunteer with Himanchal Education Foundation. Each spring we travel from our home in Singapore to Nangi and work on an engineering project designed to meet the energy needs of the village. These projects include solar hot water heaters, solar energy collection systems and solar light bulbs. Last summer we trekked up to the Community Lodge at Mohare to assess the possibility of installing a solar hot water heater for a shower. What we discovered was a trekking destination of unsurpassed beauty and magnificence but with no way to collect water. We decided to tackle the water collection problem first before we worried about installing a shower.
So this past June, during our annual Nepal trip, we spent a week in Mohare. We installed 10,000 L of water storage capacity. To collect and store the water, we installed gutters along both edges of the roof of the dining hall. These gutters feed into ten 1,000 L tanks for water collection and storage. Our kids had a great time cutting the gutters and putting the pipes together. We designed the system so that it will be easy to add more tanks to increase capacity to meet the growing needs of the Community Trekking Project. While we were there, the monsoon rains started. In one night, we collected about 5,000 L of water!
There are few who brave the trek to these remote areas during the summer monsoon season, but it’s an ideal time to collect the water. We were nervous about keeping the water safe to drink because it is actually collected during monsoon but consumed months later during the trekking season. The MIOX Corporation, http://www.miox.com, makes a system that converts a saltwater solution into mixed oxidants, which can be used to disinfect water and make it safe for drinking. Their BPS unit is portable, powered by a solar panel or battery and was used to disinfect water for victims of Hurricane Katrina. MIOX donated the unit to us in large part, and it will be used in Mohare to disinfect the water and to prevent a slimy layer from building up in the storage tanks. Using the MIOX unit will mean that the drinking water does not have to be boiled. This reduces the amount of wood or propane required along with the associated costs and environmental impact needed to boil drinking water.
Here is a picture of the installed system. A valuable lesson we have learned over the years is the necessity of working as a team with all the stakeholders in any given project. This project was no different and we included a needs assessment before initiating the project, valuable terrain and environmental data collected by the on-site Nepali team, a clear and concise project plan including materials and costs, building expertise from villagers, advice from the MIOX Corporation and our own experience in all stages of planning and implementation.
Now everyone can raise their water bottles and give a toast to good health and energy efficient water consumption thanks to the efforts of all involved. Namaste.

Pressure Reducing Valve
Your trusted water heater pros!
Pressure Reducing Valves
Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) in North Atlanta
Fix Water Pressure Issues in Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas, Fulton, Forsyth, Gwinnett and Paulding Counties
The recommended water pressure is 55-60 pounds per square inch (psi). By code, the water pressure to a building should never exceed 80 psi. If you suspect you are having water pressure problems, it may be time to replace your pressure reducing valve (PRV). Hot Water Solutions offers the replacement of PRVs in the North Atlanta area.
What is a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV)?
Water pressure is the force or strength used to move water through your pipes and out of different plumbing fixtures. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) protects your home’s plumbing from water pressure that is higher than it was designed to handle. They are set to regulate the flow of water coming into your home from your local water company to a specific pressure.
Low water pressure in your home is frustrating and can make it difficult to complete daily activities like showering and cleaning. High water pressure can damage not only your pipes, but your appliances, fixtures, and water heater as well.
If you suspect that your water pressure is too high or too low, it may be time to replace your PRV. Hot Water Solutions can test your home’s water pressure and help to determine if the PRV needs to be replaced or if there may be other factors causing your water pressure issues.

A roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane. It has elastic properties that allows it to stretch and return to their original shape without damage. Typical roof coating dry film thickness vary from paint film thickness (plus or minus 3 dry mils) to more than 40 dry mils. Along with the waterproofing qualities, roof coating may be utilized as a way to enhance the ability of the roof to deal with exposure to sunlight.
A roof coating system restores years of serviceable life to your older roof systems, with a new 5, 10, 15 and even 20 years of warranted protection to your building. Additionally, in many cases, adding spray applied polyurethane foam over your properly prepared existing roof system, can add additional insulation value to your building without the costly removal of your existing roof system.


The studio will begin by zooming in on four main infrastructural sectors: water, transportation, energy, and waste. Through analysis and mappings, their conditions and effect on greater Beirut will be explored, moving from the macro scale of the city to the micro scale of an architectural project. Students will then be asked to re-imagine the relationship between these public works within the peripheral city limits, and to propose a new architectural intervention that hybridizes infrastructure with tourist and public programs.
The future city is primarily an infrastructural one, overlapping networks and systems with our physical environment. The necessity and proliferation of these networks are detaching more and more programmatic usage from their dominating structures, forcing a rereading of our city’s fabric. Our cities are now collections of highways, sewage systems, electric power lines, and water channels. How can we re-instigate architectural and programmatic strategies into the heart of infrastructural systems? How can our built environment be re-imagined to couple the existence of such necessary networks with performative public usage? The interest in this studio will be to investigate infrastructure as sites of inquiry for architectural interventions. Tourism, the country’s most flourishing sector, and traditionally the typical lens for reading Beirut, will be considered as an essential framework for the development of such projects.
Throughout the investigation, sustainable thinking will be considered as an inherent need in our built environment. How can we propose new architectural strategies that impact our infrastructural cities within the impending crises of energy, environment and climate change? How can these projects once superimposed with infrastructure utilize tourist and public amenities to create attractor points in the city? The interest will be to propose hybrid architectural programs that support the diverse sectors, and help each sustain the other through repurposing, rehabilitating and reinvigorating.

7 Various Types of Rainwater Tanks
When you are collecting rainwater from your roofs and gutter during rainy seasons, you would need these tanks to contain and store them. These rainwater tanks are certainly helpful especially in areas with low rainfall and are always experiencing high temperature. These tanks can store rainwater for a long time so you can utilise them for irrigation and to provide water for your gardens and lawns. Instead of allowing the rainwater to enter your drain, you can simply collect those drops of rain from your roofs and into tanks.
If you want to have a tank to store rainwater with in your households, you can avail them in any plumbing markets. However, there are many types of tanks in the market today and to give you some ideas about that, here are some available nowadays:
According to Material Composition
Metal rainwater containers have always been the conventional storage for rainwater. This is because these aboveground tanks are easy to install, cheap and light, making it possible for them to be transferred from one location to another. However, the disadvantage of these tanks is the possibility for them to rust and corrode especially due to the constant and direct contact with water.
Concrete water tanks are certainly installed under the ground because of their excessive weight. Their installation is relatively expensive because of the excavation necessary when doing the construction. If it has been installed, they can no longer be transferred from one place to another, so you’ll have to decide well before installing the tank.
Fibreglass rainwater containers are also preferable because it does not corrode or rust. These tanks are very strong as it is made from polymer which is reinforced by densely woven strands of plastic. This means that they are even stronger compared to metal tanks. For homeowners who want large high quality tanks with big capacity, this can be your best choice. However, because of its features and qualities, it tends to be more expensive compared to the other tanks in the plumbing market made of polyethylene.
Polyethylene tanks are the widely-used rainwater containers nowadays because of its affordable and reasonable price. They are lightweight, making them convenient to install and transport. Though they may corrode due to the too much exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun, they can still be beneficial for many more years.
According to Shape
We cannot deny that some of the homes in the world do not have enough space to accommodate large water containers. So for these types of situations, bladder tanks are created. These tanks will only be utilising small amount of spaces because it can be installed vertically against your fences or walls. This is made possible by its flexible feature making it easy to install anywhere.
An array of water tank designs can now be found anywhere in the world because of the increasing demand for water tanks. These designs are made for homeowners’ convenience and to save space. One of these is the slimline tanks which come in different sizes. These tanks can fit into very tight spaces as it is cylindrical rather than allotting too much space for round tanks.
Round water tanks are the most conventional type of water containers worldwide and are either used domestically or commercially. They can be made of many materials with extra strength and stability. One material used to make round tanks is the high-quality ultraviolet stable polyethylene.


Building a coin laundry or card laundry is one of the most technical retail construction projects to build.
Coin and card laundries are intense consumers of electricity, water, sewer, and gas services. Concrete floors need to be cut to accept sewer and water pipes, gas lines need to be fed to your dryers and water heaters, and all services must be brought into bulkheads behind your equipment. Stress supported concrete pads may need to be poured, proper venting for dryers and water heaters need to be constructed, counters, service areas, storage and office areas need to be built. Equipment deliveries need to be scheduled to your construction schedule. ADL Consulting can provide you with advice, direction and supervision if needed to insure a successful construction of your store from start to finish.


(as of Sep 21,2023 07:26:23 UTC – Details)

Do you want to know what one of the coolest parts of our jobs is? We get to help whenever you want to construct anything big.
In order for you to build something like a house, or a building, or a bridge . . . or well, anything you need construction equipment, which has to be transported to the site. This is where it gets fun for us, because construction equipment often requires special handling, oversized permits, and specialized trailers. That’s what we are really good at here at ShipLux.
What’s more, is we love helping you do this. There are no limits for us. No matter the weight or shape of your equipment, we have a trailer to ship it, and the experience to help you with all your needs. This including, helping you understand what you need, which we will do now. .
What is Construction Equipment?
Construction equipment goes by a lot of different names, including: heavy machines, heavy trucks, engineering equipment, heavy vehicles, or heavy hydraulics. Basically, construction equipment includes any heavy-duty vehicle designed for completing construction tasks.
If you are fascinated by heavy construction equipment, check out this video that looks at some of the different construction equipment used by civic engineers.
While construction equipment comes in all shapes and sizes, they have one thing in common, they do no good if they can’t reach the construction site. And, while construction companies may have some of their own equipment and/or trailers to move their equipment, sometimes they need the help of a heavy haul shipping company to move specialized equipment.
That’s where companies experienced in heavy haul shipping, and particularly construction equipment shipping, play a huge role in any construction project.
What is Heavy Haul Shipping?
“Heavy haul” transport describes any shipment that exceeds the Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines for dimensions and weight. Even if the piece of construction equipment isn’t massive, it will be considered heavy haul with any of these conditions:
Given the fact that a standard excavator—the type used in most construction jobs—can range between 7 and 45 tons, it is important to think about how you will ship your construction equipment. The best option may be to hire a construction equipment shipping company that understands rules, regulations, and safety requirements needed for transporting any heavy equipment. Rather than figure these things out yourself, do a little research into construction equipment shipping companies. Talk with them about how they handle the variety of considerations that come with shipping larger, heavier loads including: permits, support vehicles, and any route concerns like low bridges or train tracks.
Focus on the Build: Leave the Hauling to ShipLux
When you have a big construction project going, the last thing you want to worry about is how the equipment gets to you.
That’s why hiring a shipping company with expertise in heavy equipment transport benefits you.
Our logistics specialists will figure out everything, from any special transport equipment needs, to permitting (which varies by state) and other logistics. All you have to do is tell us where your construction equipment needs to go.
When you reach out for a price quote, we will provide you with you an accurate breakdown of costs, and no hidden fees as well as discuss any concerns you have.
We know that heavy haul transport is a complicated process. Yet, it is our goal to carry that load and figure out all of the logistics. No matter the weight or the dimensions of your equipment, we have the trailer to ship it.Contact ShipLux today for all your construction equipment shipping needs!

Tips to Avoid Faulty Plumbing
SERVPRO of Tracy has noticed that many times when water damage occurs in a home or commercial property, it is due to faulty plumbing.
Those without plumbing experience may have a difficult time recognizing potential issues and then addressing these issues before they become a bigger, more expensive problem.
There are eight common causes of plumbing leaks that can lead to water damage to a property.
- Advanced Corrosion – Over an extended period of time, corrosion can damage pipes and create holes where water can escape. This is a more common issue in piping that was installed over 30 years ago.
- Degraded Seals – In order to keep connections watertight, rubber seals are used wherever the pipes are connected to the fixtures. Over time, these seals can degrade and crack, allowing water to seep out and eventually cause damage.
- Excess Water Pressure – Water pressure that is too high can actually damage the inside of the plumbing pipes and create a risk for leaks. If the pressure is extremely high, it can even cause the pipes to burst.
- Fixture Cracks – Sometimes the actual faucet or pipe that connects directly to it can crack and cause a water leak. This usually happens due to impact. One area that this is common is under the sink. When items are stored under the sink, the pipes are often repeatedly bumped and can eventually lead to pipe damage and water leaks.
- Incorrect Pipe Laying – Plumbing should be handled by knowledgeable professionals. It is very important that pipes and connectors are laid properly because small mistakes that at first may not be noticeable can cause massive water damage later.
- Pipe Joint Damage – The bends or joints where the water is redirected through the pipes are curved connectors that attach to the straight pipes on either side. Extreme temperatures and water pressure can damage these joints and lead to water damage.
- Shifted Connections – Over time, homes can shift and therefore, so can the pipes inside. If the shifts are too much, the pipe connections can break and water damage occurs.
- Untreated Clogs – It seems obvious how clogged drains can lead to backups and water damage. But how the clogs are treated can also cause pipe damage. Chemical drain cleaners are often used to unclog drains. At times these chemicals do not remove the entire clog which causes the harmful chemicals to be trapped in one spot in the pipe system. The chemicals can then eat away at the pipe, eventually causing damage and a water leak. It is safer to treat clogs with a plumbing snake or hydro-jetting.
Hopefully learning how to recognize potential plumbing problems and how to address the issues will help you avoid future water damage to your property. But in the unfortunate event that you do end up with a water damage disaster.

highways and motor vehicles law: an overview
The term "highway" includes all public roads and ways. Highway law is concerned with the regulation and maintenance of all means of travel open to the public-- such as turnpikes, toll roads, bridges, ferries, navigable waters, etc. Generally, all roads which the legislature has power to establish are public roads. Highways are distinguished from private roads in that highways are intended for public use, and are maintained at the public's expense.
Both state and federal highway law exists, but emphasis should be placed on local rules and regulations. Typically, in most jurisdictions, highway officers are personally liable for injuries to persons or property resulting from acts of their negligence in connection with the construction and repair of highways, streets and bridges, but there is some authority to the contrary.
Established in 1966 by 49 U.S.C. § 102, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) establishes overall transportation policy for the United States. Its goal is to ensure a "coordinated, effective administration of the transportation programs of the Federal Government." Among the programs under the DOT's administration are:

It’s always good to learn the terminology when you’re planning to build a home, especially if you’re interested in a custom solution. Our experience with smart design, energy efficient systems and recycled materials can help you get in the know about sustainable building practices and materials by becoming familiar with common products and terms.
Blower Door Test
The blower test takes place after insulation, when a large fan is set in the front door opening. This fan is connected to a computer and exhausts air from the house until the interior pressure is -50pa. This measures total air changes per hour (ACH), which speaks to the home’s air tightness.
Double Wall Frame
The framing of two exterior walls together, one inside the other. This allows for increased insulation and minimizes thermal bridging.
Insulated concrete forms made of 100% recycled wood chips and Portland cement. The blocks are stacked like Legos and poured full of concrete. The block’s mineral wool insulation is on the exterior side of the wall so the concrete acts as a huge thermal mass inside the building.
A very durable and stable cement based siding.
Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)
It brings fresh air from outside to living areas and bedrooms, while exhausting air from kitchens and baths. Heat recovery units are capable of preheating incoming air from the outgoing exhaust, enabling whole-house ventilation.
An agreement with a utility supplier that any surplus electricity generated on site can be sent to the grid. Accounts will be credited for any electricity that is generated beyond usage.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
An engineered wood product formed by orienting strands of wood for strength and durability. A panel is similar to plywood.
Solar panels that generate electricity. Electricity can then be stored in batteries or net metered.
Structural Insulated Panel (SIP)
An engineered panel of rigid foam sandwiched between two structural OSB panels. These highly insulated panels are fabricated off-site and assembled on-site.
Solar Hot Water
Solar panels that heat domestic hot water for home use.
Used in double wall framing. The inside studs are offset from the exterior, allowing insulation to be placed completely over the exterior stud to eliminate thermal bridging.
Non-insulated material that transfers energy through conduction. For example, in a 2×6 framed wall, the studs and plates go from inside the building to outside. In winter, this stud will be colder than the insulated cavity directly next to it.
A dense material (concrete, stone) that stores thermal energy and releases it over time. Think of a sidewalk in the summer that is heated all day by the sun and is still warm in the evening. In homes, concrete floors or walls can be used to store warmth, generating very minimal temperature swings in the home.
An extremely efficient soapstone masonry heater from Finland. When in use, a fire is burned hot and fast, causing flue gases to circulate through the heater and warm the soapstone. The soapstone releases that heat during a 12-24 hour period.
Unilux windows offer state of the art performance in energy efficiency, operability, security and sound insulation. With state of the art German engineering techniques and manufacturing technology Unilux is the market leader for wood windows.

Owner: City of Kansas City, MO
Artist: Keith Sonnier
Dates: Constructed 2004-2006, Dedicated 2006
Medium: Steel, neon lights
Located at Kansas City International Airport in the median of Cookingham Drive, just south of Paris Street and before you reach or right after you leave the airline terminals is this large steel structure. The Double Monopole consists of two steel monopoles, each one 60 feet tall. The south monopole is 60 feet wide and the north monopole is 80 feet wide. The artwork as a whole lights up in neon blues, pinks and yellows from dusk until dawn and serves as a welcoming beacon for those entering the airport from both the air and the ground.
Each monopole contains a 30 foot tall fountain/waterfall. Water is pumped from the reservoir across the street to the north. This artwork is not only ornamental but also functional as the waterfalls help aerate the water in the reservoir.

How we put BIM to work for you
There’s always lots of buzzwords being thrown out around the architecture and construction industry- sustainability, BIM, integrated project delivery, etc- it can be hard to keep up! We understand that some of these words and concepts can seem idealistic and impractical, or just plain confusing. These ideas, however, can be incredibly useful. BIM is one such concept that is very helpful as designers and project managers, and our staff team would like to explain why we offer it as a service and how it is a value-added benefit for our clients.
Building Information Modeling(BIM) describes the process of creating a digital model of a project or building that is utilized throughout the design and construction process. This model begins in the early phases of schematic design and is used for visualization, constructability, detailing, coordination between consultants, and information about the building or project. Practically, this allows designers and clients to see a conceptual design in three dimensions early in the design process, helping all parties understand the project. It also allows the design team to construct the project virtually before dirt is ever moved, and gives the capability to combine all consultants’ drawings into one model for coordination. This forces details and areas of the design that may be overlooked in a typical 2D application to be resolved as a complete building, saving questions, time, coordination issues, and costs in the field. Additionally, as changes are inevitably made in the design process, those changes are made in real-time in plan, section, elevation, and three-dimensionally, reducing omissions in drawings and time required to make these changes. Building models can hold an incredible amount of information, making material takeoffs, thermal properties of assemblies, code requirements, and building information much easier to generate and calculate, as all the components are right there in the model, ready to be totaled or evaluated.
What does this all mean for clients?
We’ll go into more detail in subsequent blog posts, but in general BIM creates a holistic approach to building design by allowing much easier visualization of a project before it is built, creating cost savings throughout the design and construction phases, and giving a better ability to predict life-cycle costs of the building. Stay tuned!

Dry Rot Surveys and Dry Rot Treatment Plymouth, Devon amd Cornwall
Dry Rot Surveys and Dry Rot Treatment
When timber is exposed to high moisture levels various forms of rot can occur. As timber absorbs moisture all the time from various sources, the moisture content of the timber can increase to a level where it can become vulnerable to decay and insect infestation. Rot is most likely to occur in floors where timber contacts wet masonry or where sub floor ventilation is poor, damp roof spaces, and also concealed timbers.
Only two categories of rots exist, Dry Rot and Wet Rot. There is only one type of Dry rot, there are however many different types of wet rot, and some rots display similar characteristics. The survey is crucial to ensure the correct diagnosis of the type of decay and the correct course of remedial treatment is recommended. If the diagnosis is incorrect the problem will not be solved.
Dry Rot needs a low moisture content to survive, hence the name, as long as a moisture source exists dry rot can spread from its host timber. It can spread across masonry walls and plaster in search of other food sources, making this type of rot extremely dangerous to buildings.

On February 26, 2019, the Surry-Skiffes Creek Transmission Line project was energized, dramatically improving the electric reliability and bringing cleaner air to the 600,000 customers on the Virginia Peninsula.
The project entailed the construction of a 7.7-mile electric transmission line across the James River from the Surry switchyard to the new Skiffes Creek switching station in James City County. What’s more, the line is out of sight from historic treasures such as Historic Jamestowne, Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown Battlefield.
Dominion Energy crews have worked diligently, swiftly and safely to complete this critical transmission project that has been key to meeting environmental regulations to permanently shut down two coal-fired units at Yorktown Power Station. It also will reduce reliance on Yorktown’s oil-fired unit 3, which is forecasted to close in 2022.
As a result of the collaboration process and approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, a $90 million mitigation plan provided for preservation and enhancement of landscapes, protection of shorelines and maintenance of water quality for historic properties on federal, Commonwealth, municipal, county, and private lands.
“We are grateful to our partners and employees who worked diligently to complete this critical transmission project,” said Kevin Curtis, vice president of Electric Transmission.
Decommissioning for the two Yorktown coal-fired generating units began in March.
