Road signs, markings and signals are there to help you drive safely and to keep traffic flowing. It’s vital that you understand what the different signals, signs and markings mean and what to do when you see them.
When you’re driving a heavy goods vehicle (HGV), you’ll need to look out for signs that apply to it such as those showing height, width and weight restrictions.
Circular signs tell you what you must or must not do. These include signs showing the maximum height, width or weight of vehicle that can legally use a route.
Warning signs are red and usually triangular. Heights, widths and weights shown on these tell you the maximum size of vehicle that can safely use the route.
Road markings give information, orders or warnings.
The speed limit is shown on a circular sign. Where no speed limit is shown, the national speed limits apply (GOV.UK). These vary depending on the type of road on which you’re driving and the type of HGV (and trailer, if relevant) you’re driving.
Signals can be used by police officers, crossing patrols and other people who are authorised to control traffic such as DVSA and Highways England traffic officers. Make sure you know what these signals mean and what to do when you see them. The Highway Code contains a guide to these signals (GOV.UK).

Environmental emissions from the facilities of the thermal and power plant industry may considerably influence the environmental conditions of the affected region, therefore it is an inevitable requirement to use the best available and the more clear technologies by utilising the natural resources economically and causing minimum pollutant emissions.
The main criteria for the design, implementation and refurbishment of power plants, electricity systems and transformer stations are to largely mitigate the loads on environmental elements and systems, to reduce pollutant emissions, to protect the cultivation and forest areas, to increase the use of water treatment technologies using small amounts of biologically decomposing chemicals, thus preventing environmental harms.
In order to maintain sustainable development, MVM ERBE Zrt endeavours to adhere to the environmental criteria and requirements during the performance of complex engineering services and the implementation of power engineering projects, and prefers the use of the best available techniques in order to reduce environmental load, to minimise pollutant emissions, and to eliminate environmental harms.

In floor heating (also known as radiant heating) adds high level of comfort to any home by providing even temperature across the room. We have prepared this short introduction for our clients to help explain its growing popularity across Canada and here in Mississauga too.
In floor heating is a system of plastic tubing typically installed before finishing floors. The tubing is laid on a subfloor and then concrete is poured on top. The tubes are connected to a water heater that constantly circulates hot water through the system and heats up the floor.
This type of heating operates on a simple principle of raising, warm air that is moved up by radiating heat from the floor. As a result, in floor heating provides even temperature across the room with no need for the unsightly looking floor vents that would normally push the air up. In many cases it is possible to eliminate the need for a humidifier and there are no drafts created by traditional, forced-air heating systems.


What do the numbers mean?
The “8.8” you see on a bolt refers to its grade or class, and it provides important information about the bolt’s tensile strength and mechanical properties. In this specific case:
The First Number ‘8’ indicates the ultimate tensile strength of the bolt material, measured in megapascals (MPa). In the case of an 8.8 bolt, the first “8” signifies that the bolt has a tensile strength of 800 MPa. This is a measure of how much force the bolt can withstand before breaking when subjected to a pulling or stretching force.
The Second Number ‘8’ represents the yield strength of the bolt material, also measured in megapascals (MPa). The yield strength is the point at which the bolt will deform permanently under tension. In this case, the yield strength is also 800 MPa.
In summary, an 8.8 bolt is one with a tensile strength of 800 MPa and a yield strength of 800 MPa. The higher the grade or class number, the stronger and more durable the bolt. These grades are standardized to ensure that bolts are used in appropriate applications based on their strength and load-bearing capabilities.


GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Grand Rapids city officials have an eye in the sky this week as they monitor what could become record flooding on the Grand River.
The fire department dispatched its new drone Thursday, Feb. 22, to survey the river as a part of the city’s response plan. Thursday in Grand Rapids the river had not yet reached flood stage — but upstream in Comstock Park, the river had flooded multiple homes in low-lying areas, as the video shows. Residents there packed up their belongings Tuesday.
Friday morning the Grand River reached flood stage in Grand Rapids: 18 feet.
The river is expected to continue to rise until 1 a.m. Feb. 25, when the National Weather Service projects a crest of 21.3 feet. The river’s historic crest in Grand Rapids was 21.85 feet in 2013.
City officials will continue to monitor the river with the fire department’s drone over the weekend.

TE24 Bangladesh Desk
In the first eight hours of the inauguration of the Padma Bridge, the traffic has collected 72 lakh 19 thousand 50 rupees.
About 15,200 vehicles crossed the bridge on the first day of the inauguration of Super Design in the country
Abul Hossain, chief engineer of Bangladesh Bridge Authority, said this on Sunday evening.
The much-anticipated Padma Bridge was reopened to traffic at 5.40 am on Saturday (June 25) following a proper initiative by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
As the correspondence between Dhaka and the South is dependent on the administration of ships, the suffering of the people of the South has been alleviated in the intervening period after the inauguration of the Padma Bridge.
It took a few hours to cross the Padma River from the Jajira end. It takes just a few minutes to cross the mighty river with the recently built Padma Bridge.
People are crossing the Padma bridge in different vehicles including motorcycles and private cars.
Besides, trucks, buses and other vehicles are plying on the bridge in a few minutes.


Greenovate! City of Curitiba, Brazil Rapid Transit System [Innovation Excellence]
Organizations still have a long way to go to to fully integrate the social web to connect to their customers. Here are some great examples, curated by Professor of Innovation, Hitendra Patel and the Center for Innovation, Excellence and Leadership (IXL Center). Their book Connectivate! is a collection of real world stories from 54 innovative companies whose breakthroughs are changing the world.
By leveraging today’s confluence of technological and analytical breakthroughs, these companies connect people, businesses, governments and entities in novel and meaningful ways, capturing win-win propositions on the value chain. These companies have created a new economic context, increasingly accessible in a space-time singularity called Always Available.
Real world stories about innovators and innovative companies are an important way to learn, and we place high value on them at Innovation Excellence. The next case study in our Connectivate! series is:
An eco-friendly, reliable, efficiently constructed, cost effective bus transport system.
A flexible network of buses and stations, that meets the needs of a rapidly growing urban environment without busting city budgets for capital investments in rail, has the capacity to serve an unlimited range of locations throughout Curitiba, achieving the speed and efficiency of a subway system.
A highly reliable mass transport system that dramatically reduces automobile usage, fuel consumption and emission levels in the city. A versatile, cost- and time-effective model that can be implemented by making improvements to existing transport infrastructure and vehicles.
A low cost transit system used by over 75% of travelers in Curitiba, a city of three million plus. Eliminates about 27 million automobile trips annually, saving 10 million gallons of fuel and lowering the city’s CO2 emissions by 25%. A model for developing cities worldwide.
Curitiba’s rapid population growth taxed the capacity of an antiquated electric trolley system, creating a dire need to improve the public transportation system.
The government wanted to stimulate economic growth for the urban population and to facilitate greater mobility by improving the transportation infrastructure.
The outdated fare payment system and narrow bus doors created transportation bottlenecks, resulting in slow and inefficient service.
The legacy electric trolley service followed fixed routes — expansion of service capacity to new routes was constrained by the narrow city streets and a tight municipal budget.
Economic setbacks, including periods of hyperinflation, discouraged development of the roads necessary for an efficient bus transit system.
The municipality lacked the technology to develop a system that could reduce congestion at bus terminals.
Mayor Moreira Garcez’s commission for the streets permitted a local power company to explore the possibility of a bus network for the city.
CUT MY COSTS:
The Institute for Research and Urban Planning in Curitiba (IPPUC) constructed roads for buses at 1/10th the cost of laying a subway system, enabling systematic urban and economic development.
Cylindrical tube-shaped station enables passengers to make fare pre-payment; bus design permits commuters to board and exit buses simultaneously.
The bus transport network better connects far-flung urban areas, increasing the trade and commerce within the city.
BUILD ON SUCCESS:
Mayor Ivo Aruza Prereir commissioned the IPPUC to plan a integrated transport system that will support further urban development.
The city municipality reduced the passenger waiting time at the terminals to no more than 15 to 19 seconds per boarding—1/8th less than the original time.
The city municipality continues to improve the efficiency of the transport system through installation of sensors in its buses and along public transportation routes. Also, the city municipality plans to utilize 100% alternate energy sources to lower emission levels.

Minimum digging is involved in the process and it does not want expensive equipment. There is less disruption in the property so you can save money on cleaning your home after the job is completed.
- Boost the capacity of flow
The concrete, clay, and cast iron pipe have a hard surface and the calcification deposits attach to the pipe easily. The epoxy liner forms the smooth surface in the pipeline. It helps to remove the obstruction, which affects the water flow. The flow capacity of the pipe increases if the surface is smooth. The smooth surface keeps the pipeline clean and saves money on the frequent repair.
- Long-term solution
The professionals use high-quality material for the pipe relining. The material is durable and strong that offers a long-lasting solution. Pipe relining seals the pipe that stops the leans and prevents the root from intruding the pipeline. The manufacturer offers a warranty on the pipe relining procedure. The epoxy liner is strong and offers a permanent solution for pipe repair. It frees the property owner from the trouble of replacing the pipe frequently.


Waterbury-Oxford Airport in the US state of Connecticut closed its runway this week for planned reconstructive work to improve overall safety.
The runway project at the small airport is set to cost $32m and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is covering the vast majority of the cost – 90%.
The FAA is covering most of the infrastructure including the cost of reconstructing the pavement of the runway and other elements such as new runway lights, directional signs and markings.
In a released document, the airport noted: “This project will correct two nonstandard conditions identified by FAA, the Runway 18-36 line of sight and the
Runway 18 longitudinal gradient (no angle point within the first ¼ length of the Runway).
All reconstructed pavements will be designed to current FAA geometry standards.
Additional project elements include the relocation of a section of Juliano Drive to allow for the construction of the Runway 36 Safety area, as well as the relocation of the Runway 36 localizer and lowering of an Eversource transmission tower.
Private jets at the airport will most likely have been moved prior to commencement of the project.

Growing up as the son of a Industrial and Commercial Real Estate Broker, I had a lot of exposure to building projects and Owners. I have always had a great appreciation for business Owners and their Facility needs.
Early on, I worked for a large General Contracting company as well as a large Property Management firm. Those experiences helped me formalize the service that I could bring to the Construction Industry.
I began to build a team of construction professionals with an emphasis on quality, value and service. What we figured out along the way was that we could provide the same level of product and services as the large GC's without the huge administrative costs.
This is what we have been doing for over 25 years. What we are most proud of is, that our Customers keep us busy with repeat business or by referring us to new Clients.

As with the Gryfe, the river valley of the Black Cart was a focal point of the search for coal and lime. From the headwaters of the river in Barr Loch, lime works followed the Black Cart downstream.
At Kerse, the lime and coal works were drained by a pump powered firstly by water, then by a steam engine. South of Barr Loch, lime was worked at Netherhouses. At Limekiln Plantation, near Lochwinnoch, lime quarries survive in a series of tiers downhill. From the 1720s, lime was also worked along both sides of Castle Semple Loch and burnt in kilns by the lochside. One of the potential benefits of extending the Paisley Canal to Ardrossan was the lime quarries and mines along the proposed route in the Risk area.
The most intensive working of lime was further downstream, where a great ‘basin’ of lime dipped from Howwood to Spateston. A number of small early quarries led to a large scale combined venture in the 1770s, by Houston of Johnstone and McDowall of Castle Semple, at Meikle Corseford. The quarries were drained by a water powered engine driven by the Spateston Burn. More than 30 clamp kilns survive, surrounding the main quarry. Nearby is the draw kiln at Midtown. By the Victorian period, several large lime works were in operation, connected by tramways to the main railway line.
In the 1720s, several lime quarries preceded the development of the new town of Johnstone. Numerous other quarries and kilns dotted the road to Paisley, from Floors to Newton. Many were developed by Speirs of Elderslie. Near the bottom of the Black Cart in the Linwood area, limestone was mined at various depths in 19th century in conjunction with coal and ironstone.

Concrete isn’t just used for building anymore. While providing a function, it can also serve as an aesthetic enhancement for various kinds of structures, including floors, patios, driveways, decks, porches, walls, walkways, and much more. This artistic use of concrete is known as”decorative concrete”, and is a specialized project which needs an adept skill set, as well the proper inventory of materials and tools, for quality, long-lasting results. click for more
Turning standard concrete into decorative pavement is achieved by altering the concrete either during the pouring process, or after the concrete is finished curing. Frequent methods and materials include concrete staining, concrete overlays, decorative overlays, concrete countertops, and needless to say, concrete stamping or”impressing.”
Concrete stamping has gained popularity over the past 50 years, and may be utilised in a wide array of residential and industrial applications. And there are many more reasons to choose it for your next house remodel or upgrade! Keep on reading to learn more about impressed concrete and how it can benefit your premises.
The goals of concrete stamping is to make regular concrete resemble a decorative pattern, style, shape, design, texture, or colour. In fact, this is one of the many advantages of stamped concrete.
Not only does stamped concrete deliver long-lasting luster and durability, it is also very cost-effective because it can be constructed to resemble a wide array of higher-end materials, like brick, wood, stone, slate, bedrock, and much more. It can even be designed to resemble things in nature, such as sea shells, leaves, fossils, and more. The endless options makes it one of the most desirable and economical renovations and new building additions of today’s property owner.
It’s necessary to hire a professional home remodeling general contractor or firm for impressed concrete solutions. This is because it is a highly intricate and delicate project that requires hands-on experience and extensive knowledge of cement sidewalk installation and finishing. There are many variables involved in such work, including foundations, water drainage, floor leveling, reinforcement grids, concrete formula mixtures, and a lot more.
As for stamping concrete, the setup procedure generally involves the use of molds. Pre-made molds and stencils are pressed into concrete while the substance is still pliable (in plastic condition ). Once the patterns and textures are applied, the pavement can be finished by adding colour and then sealer. Color is added by using one or more of the following products: dry shakes, colour hardening agents, powder releases, liquid discharges, acid stains, and integral colours.
Impressed concrete offers a wide assortment of advantages in terms of cost, performance, appeal, and value. Here are some of the most notable benefits property owners are happy with:

Townes Science Center toilets may look a little different recently. Notice the sign over the toilets explaining that the water in the fixture is “treated greywater?”
Although the signs are new, they represent a sustainability campaign dating back to 2008.
The water in the toilets has been treated on-site by a small-scale wastewater treatment facility called the Living Machine housed in the greenhouse next to the Science Center.
This machine works by mimicking natural tidal wetlands. Water flushed from toilets and water fountains in the Townes Science Center, the PAC, the Chapel, Furman Hall, and even Cherrydale Alumni House flow into the Living Machine via underground pipes. This wastewater then comes in to one of six holding cells in the system. The water is naturally filtered by plants, gravel and microbes as it travels through the cells. By the end of the process the water is run through fine microbe filters, treated with chlorine tablets and finally passes through an ultraviolet light to ensure that it is of a high enough quality.
The Living Machine has been on campus and has been filtering water since the Science Center was renovated in 2008. However, the treated water has only recently been able to be pumped back into the Science Center toilets as “reuse,” or greywater.
According to Jeff Redderson, assistant vice president of Facilities Services, there were a couple of hurdles to overcome in getting the system to pump the treated greywater back into the Science Center’s toilets. One hurdle came from theSouth Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Quality.
“Initially they wanted us to only run the treated water to the sewer so they could evaluate the quality,” Redderson said.
The water treated by the Living Machine has been tested and it actually exceeds state water quality standards.
A second, larger hurdle required changing the infrastructure surrounding the machine. The initial underground pumping system had to be replaced in order for the treated water to flow back into the toilets in the Science Center. The project to replace the pumps cost approximately $40,000.
As of last December, the pumps have been fully operational and the toilets have been using internally treated greywater instead of city water.
In addition to using water more efficiently, the greywater system provides an economic benefit. Using greywater that has been treated internally in toilets cuts some of the costs associated with buying city water.
According to Jim Aldridge, the man who monitors the Living Machine, the machine currently treats 3000 gallons of water a day. The tank has the capacity to treat 5000 gallons in a 24 hour period.
Yancey Fouche, associate director of the Shi Center for Sustainability, noted the importance of the greywater in toilets to Furman’s sustainability goals.
“Sustainability planning at Furman is governed by Sustainable Furman, a master plan developed with cross-campus input and approved by our Board of Trustees in 2009,” Fouche said. “The Living Machine project specifically helps us realize that plan in several ways.”
Treating wastewater internally with the Living Machine and then using that water again in toilets helps improve building energy efficiency, reduce our greenhouse gas inventory and generally maintains Furman’s reputation as a leader in sustainability.
Companies and peer institutions have visited Furman specifically to see the Living Machine and learn about how it works. According to Redderson, Furman houses the first Living Machine in all of South Carolina. Furman is also one of a very small number of universities that house comparable in-house wastewater treatment facilities.

RISING WATER BRINGS INCREASED RISK OF FLOODS
- As the increased amount of snow our state received this winter melts, coupled with a wetter than average spring, Mesa County is at an increased risk for floods.
- Flash floods can happen in Western Colorado, but floods can develop slowly or very rapidly.
- Just six inches of rapidly moving water can knock a person down.
- Many areas of Mesa County use on-site wastewater treatment systems, also known as septic systems. In a flood, these systems can overload and cause backups.
- If you have a septic system, keep stormwater runoff away from your septic tank and drain field area as much as possible.
- Water quality can also be impacted if flooding occurs. You may notice increased turbidity or murkiness in the water or a possible smell.
- Mesa County Public Health’s water quality program provides bacterial testing for drinking water and irrigation water samples from our regional lab. You can find more information on how to have your water tested here.
- The best way to minimize harm and damage to property is to be prepared.
- Have a 72-hour kit with food, water, and essentials in a waterproof container ready to go.
- Copy important documents and have them in your kit, too.

Cable and brace rods are structural supports that are intended to reduce the risk of failure of weak branches and multiple stems. Our cables consist of extra high strength steel that are attached to eye bolts and wraps. All this is usually installed in the upper crown of a tree. Our hardware is intended to limit the movement of the supported branches so they are less likely to fail during storms.
Braces are threaded rods that are installed through the junction of weak branches and multiple stems to provide more rigid support during violent weather. Cable and brace systems may need to be used together and should only be installed based on a thorough inspection and evaluation of the tree structure by our Arbor Works staff.

The Critical Service that protects the safety of pipeline infrastructure
The environmental and societal impact of infrastructure failure is a primary consideration for today’s pipeline operators. This is why since 1950, Corrosion Service has focused on providing pipeline cathodic protection design, engineering, supply and field services to the pipeline industry.
Cathodic protection is the most common electrochemical technique used to prevent corrosion on buried metallic pipelines where the applied coating has failed or been damaged exposing bare pipeline metal to the soil.
Protection is accomplished by applying a direct current to the surface of the metal, which causes the electrochemical potential of the structure to shift from a corroding state to a polarised and non-corroding state.
Our team and the services that we offer
Our team and the services that we offer
All pipeline cathodic protection systems are unique, and whether the pipeline project is new build, rehabilitation, or routine maintenance, our talented team of industry professionals is empowered to understand the unique characteristics of every enquiry.
This is important because as an organization, Corrosion Service strives to provide the extremely high level of support and partnership necessary in order to create the customized solutions that our clients require on a daily basis.
Branch offices are strategically located throughout Iraq and are the primary line of contact for pipeline clients. Each branch office is designed to provide front line engineering expertise, project management support and field services in collaboration with our Suly engineering hub that provides high level engineering and design services. Team members are highly trained, with all engineering staff certified at various levels.
Service Profile - Design Services
System optimization is critical at the pipeline cathodic protection design stage to ensure the system components are selected, sized and strategically located to provide efficient current distribution for the pipeline asset to be protected.
Our long history of design and complete understanding of the electrochemical process, having designed thousands of pipeline cathodic protections systems over the years for various structures in Iraq give our present and future clients the confidence in Corrosion Service.
Our Design teams consist trained and certified professionals having all the skills to complete the job. Our Engineering and Drafting services and as well support staff follow defined work flows that allow full exposure to internal and external auditors confirming system excellence prior to installation. Having established and documented work flows for the entire design process ensures our process is transparent and instills confidence that the designed system will exceed the clients expectation once installed for many years to come.
Service Profile - Installation Services
We have dedicated crews that are trained in the installation of pipeline cathodic protection systems. Projects range from installing a single sacrificial anode onto a riser or providing large crews installing vertical wells or standard horizontal anode systems as per the design requirements.
To ensure the work in is completed on budget and on time we own a fleet of construction equipment and have partnered with specialised prequalified contractors that have the required skills to assist us in completing the job.
Service Profile - System Commissioning and Annual Maintenance Survey
Efficiency and effectiveness of the pipeline cathodic protection system design and installation is a thoroughly evaluated when the system components are commissioned and the adjudicative energization survey is undertaken.
Following defined project commissioning and/or test procedures, all components are reviewed, documented and once technical parameters are met, the system is energized and adjusted to achieve maximum efficiency while ensuring pipeline asset complete cathodic protection.
Having trained and qualified staff is critical in completing this work and Corrosion Service has specialized crews that are trained and certified for completing commissioning reporting, compliance inspections, annual and adjudicative maintenance surveys.
All data obtained from site is reviewed and technical analysis is completed by specialist engineers and information is included in a detailed report for the clients to review and issue with confidence to regulators.


FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FOR KAWARTHA CONSERVATION WATERSHED
4/16/2018 6:57:22 AM
With more rain on the way today, water levels are becoming a concern in different parts of the region.
A Flood Warning remains in effect for the Kawartha Conservation watershed jurisdiction.
Water levels and flows in local rivers and streams within the watershed have increased significantly in response to the rain received over the last two days and the additional rain that is predicted, in combination with saturated or partly frozen ground conditions, will produce significant runoff that will further affect local watercourses.
In these circumstances water levels and flows in local rivers and streams will continue to rise and by Monday may exceed their bankfull levels in many locations.
Officials say flooding will happen in floodplains, low-lying areas, areas with poor drainage and road ditches.

In 2015 Auckland Transport surprised most people by proposing that the next major new public transport link would be a Light Rail route from The Viaduct, up Queen Street and the along Dominion Rd to Denbigh Rd. Then it would roughly follow along State highway 20 to Hillsborough, Onehunga, Mangere, The Airport Precinct and then the Airport.
The new route would replace Dominion Road (and some other) Buses and provide improved links for Mangere and the Airport.
What is Light Rail?
Light rail is a form of rail designed to work on surface routes within cities that are not 100% seperated from other traffic.
- It is cheaper to construct per km
- It can take tighter turns and steeper slopes
- The tracks are “at grade” meaning the are similar height to the road and don’t need as much digging.
- Stations are smaller and closer together than “heavy rail”
- Maximum speed and length is lower than for heavy rail.

What would the service look like?
Along Queen Street and Dominion Road the light rail system will run on two lanes in the centre of the road. These will be raised slightly and not shared with other traffic. Below Mayoral Dr in Queen Street will have no cars while on Dominion Road and Queen street south of Mayoral Drive there will be a a lane for traffic on each side of the light rail lanes. Street parking will be removed in most places.
Train stops will be further apart than the current bus stops. The trains also will not go all the way to K-road but will go under a tunnel/cutting just under it.
After it leaves Dominion Road the service stations are further apart and the service will be separated from State Highway 2
Why not run a train from Onehunga or Puhiniu?
How fast will it go and how often?
The trains will probably travel at 30km/h in the central city and then from K-road onwards up to 50km/h. After Dunbigh Ave it should be able to reach 90km/h.
Trains should be every 10 minutes in each direction with 5 minute intervals being likely during peak.
How many passengers will it carry?
The units themselves will be 33m long and hold 210 people (around the length and capacity of 3 buses) with the ability to hook two units together.
Will it get stuck in traffic?
No. The rails will not run down the streets themselves but will be raised slightly above and separate.
The number of places that traffic can cross the lines will also be restricted. The trains will also automatically activate traffic lights as they approach so should rarely have to stop
What will happen to Dominion Road buses?
They will not run alongside the Trains. Buses from Blockhouse Bay, Lynfield etc will start/stop neat the Denbigh Ave station where their passengers will transfer to/from the trains
What will happen to Dominion Rd traffic?
There will a a lane for cars on each side of the railway.
Roadside Parking will be eliminated except where the road is especially wide.
When will it be built?
How will it interconnect with other rail lines?
The Light Rail trains will not run on the same rails as the existing trains. They will be the wider Standard Gauge rather than New Zealand’s narrow Cape Gauge.
The use of standard guage means there is a much greater choice in models of trains that can be bought. The is no real circumstance when the Light Rail trains would need to use the standard rail so giving up this ability is worth it.
The electrical standard used by the Light Rail may also be different from the other trains.
Can it be used by travelers with luggage or disabled passengers?
The light rail system will be “low floor” in part of all units so wheelchairs or mobility limited passengers (including those with luggage) can easily get on or off.
What other light rail lines are proposed?
A second route along Great North Road, The North Western Motorway to Westgate and Kumeu is also proposed.
Further in the future the Airport/viaduct line could be externeded across the harbour via a tunnel and replace the north Shore Busway and also potentially go to Takepuna.
What will happen to Dominion Road cyclists?
What about putting the rail underground or on overhead pillars?
These options are very expensive. In the case of a tunnel it will require cut-and-cover (like the lower Albert street CRL tunnel) and disrupt the road for some time. The overhead option will still have pillers at ground level so it is unlikely that much space will be saved.
All stations will require lifts and stairs for people to use which will be expensive to add.
Is there still an option to build a heavy rail link?
Prossibly not? The route at the airport that is needed for heavy roail may already be built over. ????


Built by Kier Construction, the extension includes 13 science laboratories, computing and classroom facilities, and a roof terrace.
Spanning 12 months, the project was completed within budget and on time ready for the school to open to students in September 2017.

Sometimes called “kissing bridges,” covered bridges can be found in over half of the United States, providing protection to pedestrians and vehicles alike. These bridges have a long history in America, and many are listed within the National Register for Historic Places. Read on to learn more about these iconic bridges, and to see some of our favorites still standing today!
So what is a “covered bridge?”
In its most basic form, a covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge that has both a roof and siding. This roof and siding can create either a completely enclosed, or almost enclosed structure. The “truss” in a truss bridge refers to the architectural design of the bridge’s support beams – trusses typically form a series of triangles to provide support to a structure. There are at least eight different types that have been historically used in bridge construction.
While popular folklore may refer to many of these bridges as “kissing bridges” for their reputation as a rendezvous point for young sweethearts, most covered bridges were built with a much simpler purpose: to protect the wooden bridge beneath from the elements. A typical wooden bridge will only survive 10-15 years if not covered. Before the advent of iron and steel, it was vital to protect bridges from damage, so that they could extend the life of what was a typically expensive bridge.
Covered bridges were especially popular in America prior to the steel revolution, and some states had over 1,000 covered bridges at their peak. However, these numbers have significantly reduced, as many were either replaced after the creation of steel bridges in the late 19th century, or have simply deteriorated due to their age. Those that have survived have found themselves as National Historic Sites, visited by thousands of fans yearly.
Our Favorite Fun Facts about Covered Bridges
While they may seem simple, there’s plenty of fun trivia about covered bridges in America:
- Land of the Most Covered Bridges: Although Pennsylvania was the leader of the steel revolution, it seems that they thought steel bridges should only be used in other states. Covered bridges were built long after the advent of iron in the Keystone State, and today Pennsylvania has the most covered bridges in the country, with about 219 still in existence.
- A Covered Bridge Festival: For the covered bridge enthusiasts, Parke County, Indiana hosts a yearly fall festival called the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival. The festival celebrates the county’s 31 covered bridges, the most of any county in the United States. The festival is extremely popular, with over 2 million attendees each year!
- The Longest Covered Bridge in the World: While Pennsylvania may have the most covered bridges, California has one of the longest in the world. The Bridgeport Covered bridge is the longest clear span bridge in the world, measuring at 233 feet long. Built in 1862, the state set aside $1.3 million USD in 2014 to restore the bridge in two phases. It was registered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
- The Bridges of the Entertainment World: Covered bridges are featured in several American books and movies, most notably The Bridges of Madison County, where historic covered bridges serve as the main setting and focal point of the story. A covered bridge is also the main setting for Edgar Allan Poe’s “Never Bet the Devil Your Head,” where a man is gruesomely beheaded.
- The Oldest Covered Bridge in America: The distinction of oldest covered bridge in the US goes to Hyde Hall Bridge, located in Glimmerglass State Park, New York. Built in 1825, the bridge was originally located on private property within the Hyde Hall estate. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, and was last renovated in 1967.

There are many success stories today for unmanned aircraft use within the construction sector. With the need to monitor construction sites over time, manage assets, and provide current data on demand, there are many reasons to implement drones. Specific benefits include:
- Ability to provide data to construction managers on a daily basis at low cost (e.g. Track progress).
- Comparing site changes on a daily and weekly basis through terrain data and site photos.
- Presenting views and angles not possible through other mediums.
- Collecting data in areas that are unsafe or more difficult to access on foot or by truck.


Archive for the ‘cumberland’ tag
CSX Cumberland Swing Bridge, Nashville, TN. January 28, 2013.
In 1864, at the height of General Hood’s assault on Nashville during the Civil War, the original railroad bridge across the Cumberland (pictured here) served as a strategic point of entry, and was burned by Confederate soldiers. Only the stone piles and piers remained, and the current camelback-truss swing superstructure replaced the old wooden bridge in 1916. The bridge’s center truss can swing 90 degrees to allow taller ships to pass. The bridge is still in functional and operation today, as seen here.
The bridge has since survived flood and catastrophe — in September 1906, the L&N No. 102, loaded with passengers, plowed full speed ahead towards the bridge, unaware that the bridge was open and impassible. The train stopped, but not before the locomotive, a tender, a mail car and a baggage car plunged into the Cumberland, killing two crewmen.
UPDATE: I am wondering if the concrete reinforcement on the foremost pier (pictured above) was added after the accident in 1906. The train was headed north, so it would have plunged off the bridge right at that pier, so I wonder if it was damaged on the way down.
Cumberland Riverfront, Nashville. TN. July 27, 2012.
I’ve never verified it myself, but I’ve been told that when the Cumberland is low (as it is above), if take a kayak under the current concrete structure, you can still see the remnants of the old docks.
The Shelby Street Bridge, originally called the Sparkman Street Bridge, was built in 1909. Behind it stands the much newer Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge (also known as the “Gateway” bridge).
An oldie but a goodie from last year. One of the things I miss the most about living downtown was the ease of night photography around the city.
