Buenas noticias para los que no alcanzaron a comprarse su lotecito en la primera Ocean Reef Island. Dice Dredging Today (The industry’s ground-breaking news provider):
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has been awarded a contract from Compañía Insular Americana, S.A. to construct a second artificial island off the coast of Punta Pacifica in Panama City.
This project follows the successful construction of the first island by Boskalis, which was handed over to the client in early 2013. With a contract value of more than €55 million the project is scheduled to commence in the course of the second half of 2015 and is expected to last for two years.
The project involves constructing the second artificial island in the Pacific Ocean off the densely populated shoreline of Panama City. Nine hectares of land will be created by using approximately 600,000 cubic meters of rock to form a perimeter and filling it with 1.3 million cubic meters of sand. A bridge will be built to connect the second island to the first island.
The client Compañía Insular Americana, S.A. is an affiliated company of Ocean Reef Island Inc. for which Boskalis constructed the first artificial island.
This land reclamation project is driven by the necessity to create land to accommodate population growth in a densely populated region.
B-dum, tish. Añade IHS Maritime:
Speaking to IHS Maritime, a Boskalis spokesman said the company did not expect any new challenges building this island over the first.
«Based on our experience with construction of the first island, we further optimised our work methods and equipment for this project,» he said. «Except for any unpredictable weather influences, we do not expect any specific challenges.»
The rock needed to build the island perimeter «will be sourced from the client’s quarry in Panama,» he continued. «We will use our own sand concession in Panama for the 1.3 million m³ of sand required.»
Finalmente, comenta la siempre precognisciente Santa Biblia (Génesis 1: 9-10):
Dios dijo: «Que se reúnan en un solo lugar las aguas que están bajo el cielo, y que aparezca el suelo firme». Y así sucedió.
Dios llamó Tierra al suelo firme y Mar al conjunto de las aguas. Y Dios vio que esto era bueno.

At approximately 11am on 6th June 2021, a controlled collapse demolition event using explosives will take place at Rugeley Power Station which will bring down the four Cooling Towers.
The structures are made of concrete and 117m high. To protect everyone on site and in the local area an exclusion zone will be in place before, during and immediately after the collapse. Because of the height of the structures the exclusion zone will extend onto the A51 so a road closure, with clearly marked diversion, will be in place for the event. This has been planned with the local authorities to minimise potential disruption.
The initiation and collapse may be heard off site, any noise will be over very quickly, and any dust will be controlled. Road sweepers will be available, however, it is anticipated these won’t be required.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions unfortunately there is no public viewing area. A livestream will be made available so members of the public can safely view the event – details will be made available on the www.rugeleypower.com website over the coming days. The police will be in attendance and have asked that people consider the latest COVID-19 restrictions as these will be enforced.
There will be one more, smaller scale explosive demolition event before completion of the demolition programme later in the year.
Last month, site owner ENGIE was granted outline planning permission from the local authorities to transform the Power Station site once demolition is complete, into a sustainable mixed-use development of 2,300 low carbon homes including employment space, parkland, and a new all-through school.

The New Hanover, N.C., County Board of Commissioners is considering several self-storage design requirements that would apply where new projects are zoned by right. The move mirrors aesthetic demands officials typically place on developments proposed for areas in which storage is a conditional use. If adopted, the restrictions would apply to building exteriors, colors and materials, according to the source.
Restrictions under consideration include:
- Transparent windows or doors would comprise at least 10 percent of a building façade that faces a public or private street, shared parking area, pedestrian walkway or designated open space.
- Building exteriors visible from the street or abutting properties would feature color tones found predominately in the natural environment.
- Metal would be prohibited as a primary material on exterior walls and perimeters visible from an arterial street or residential district or development.
- Outdoor storage would be limited to licensed and operational boats and


The infrared roof moisture survey is used world-wide by building managers, facility managers, property managers, plant engineers and government agencies to accurately locate and quantify moisture trapped within commercial roofing assemblies. The infrared detection technique can be used effectively on virtually all types of low slope roofing systems.
During the day, the sun radiates energy onto the commercial roof and into the roof substrate. In the evening, the roof radiates the heat back into the atmosphere. This process is called radiational cooling. Areas of the commercial roof that are of a higher mass (wet) retain this heat much longer than that of the lower mass (dry) areas of the roof. Infrared imagers can detect the heat and “see” the warmer, higher mass areas, during the occurrence of uneven heat dissipation from the roof. This is an ideal way to pinpoint what areas of the roof are retaining moisture which can lead to future problems.
Infrared thermography is a proven scientific method for evaluating roofing condition and locating hard to locate roof moisture problem areas. Our professional infrared thermography roof inspections provide the in-depth, unbiased data that owners and property managers need to protect their costly roof systems.
When the Infrared Roof Moisture Survey Should be Used:
1. Prior to Final Acceptance and Payment for a new roofing system.
2. Before the roof warranty expires.
3. Before acquiring real estate.
4. Before re-roofing over an existing roof assembly.
5. For early detection of roof moisture problems in order to minimize long term roof repair costs.
6. Before preparing your budget request for roof repairs
7. Whenever roof moisture or leaks occur.
The ICS infrared roof evaluation survey provides you with the necessary information and documentation to make accurate decisions regarding the repair or replacement of your roofs. You can also click here to learn more about Infrared Roof Evaluations.

What does it cost to fit bifold patio doors?
The first thing you have to look at for bifold doors prices is how big is the opening that you have to fill. The size of the opening where the bifold doors are to be installed will determine the amount of door panels needed.
Bifold Patio doors can be installed with just 2 panels, but they look a lot better with 3, 4 or even 5 panels.
So the key things to consider would be:
- construction material
- door furniture
- special design elements (such as floor level thresholds)
Upvc bifold doors are value for money, but you can also get timber veneer versions. Hardwood Timber veneers make the door look like solid hardwood, but without the price tag.
In any event, whatever the material you choose, you will need to include the cost of safety glazing. The glass areas reach floor level and so in the UK it must be safety glass. This could be tempered or laminated.
Find out more about costs here: www.cheapupvcbifolddoors.co.uk/bi-fold-door-prices
Fully Fitted Bifold Patio Doors – useful information
In most cases, unless the property is a new build, it’s a high probability that you are going to want to remove an external wall to make th door opening.
This can be a risky operation, unless you know what you are doing, It’s virtually certain that the wall you want to remove is going to be a load bearing one. This means whatever it is holding up has to be properly supported prior to removing even a single brick.
In cases like this, we would suggest that you speak with a structural engineer to find out the potential pro’s and con’s of the proposed work. If you don’t want to engage a structural engineer, then get a proper survey from an experienced (and fully insured) company that has atracke record in this type of work.

Construction & Infrastructure Industry Executive Recruitment
The construction & infrastructure industry affects every aspect of people’s lives. Every road driven on, bridge crossed, building worked in, ports and railroads traveled and trafficked for trade, all cumulate to form this impactful and crucial industry. The construction & infrastructure industry has immeasurable importance on how daily life is lived and illustrates the future of what our world will look like structurally, functionally, and architecturally. Similarly, this industry is a key driver of economic advancement, prosperity, and financial expansion. It can be increasingly complex to add value in aspects of construction & infrastructure, fueling the need for specialized skill sets and forward-thinking solutions from its top executives. Headhunters for commercial construction and management must recruit leaders equipped to excel, develop, and advance the industry.
The construction & infrastructure industry is the backbone that fuels our commerce, shapes our skylines, allows for centers of learning and work, and creates transportation. However, a challenge being faced in this industry today is labor shortages and lack of proper skillsets to fuel rapid development. This makes it imperative that executive search firms specializing in construction find the most talented executives with fresh strategies to productively train teams for lasting growth and financial stability.
A growth in labor productivity and skills is needed to continue to become more efficient in the construction & infrastructure industry. As other industries advance with time, the construction & infrastructure industry tends to become less efficient. With most techniques and building methods the same as they were in the last decade, it is increasingly important for executive search firms for the construction industry to fill leadership roles with creative, innovative, and inventive managers. The industry desperately needs talent that will strategically advance development and have an immediate impact on added-value solutions while contributing to long-term progress and prosperity.

In many countries, speeding has become one of the most important risk factors contributing to road traffic fatalities and injuries. When vehicles are driven at high speed, the likelihood and severity of crashes increases, which leads to speed management becoming an essential tool for improving road safety. As one of the most fundamental rules of road traffic operations, speeds greatly influence not only traffic safety and operations but also climate impacts and air and noise pollution. By reducing the likelihood of vehicle-to-vehicle conflicts and conflicts among vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, an appropriate speed limit can enhance the safety of driving as well as walking, cycling, and motorbike riding. Setting safe speed limits, along with the supporting infrastructure and enforcement, is one of the most important ways to enhance traffic safety and secure the efficiency of mobility on roadways
Textbooks and /or training materials that will be prepared in this sector include advice on speed management.


The structure of your house can only be as strong and secure as the foundation it rests on. Any deterioration to the stumps that support the house should be immediately attended to by replacing them with new foundation stumps. Our team of experienced contractors provide a timely, budget-friendly reblocking service that will increase the durability and lifespan of your home.
Reblocking Costs In Melbourne
A reblocking project is not very different from a house renovation. The first step is to identify when the foundation stumps need to be replaced. Our contractors conduct a simple visual survey of the stumps to determine whether they can still bear the weight of the structure above the ground. They then pass on their observations to the homeowner. If the foundation is in poor health, it should be replaced without further delay. As a rule of thumb, most foundation stumps last for about fifteen to twenty years.
The Factors That Affect Costs
Having worked on foundations for more than a decade, we find that there are two major factors that affect the reblocking cost estimates of a reblocking project. They are:
The choice between concrete or wood
The two most commonly used materials for foundation stumps are concrete and timbre. The wooden stumps are more cost effective but have a shorter shelf life and provide less support. We generally recommend solid concrete stumps to homeowners.
Dimensions of the house
Depending on the size of the house, our contractors calculate the number of stumps that need to be used as well as they weight bearing capacity of each stump.
Budget Friendly Estimates
Melbourne restumping believes in providing a time efficient and cost efficient service. To know more about our flexible payment options, give us a call. Our customer service executive will take you through the options and offer a free quote as well.

1D Element in 2D Frame
Draft for Information Only
Finite Element Analysis
One dimensional linear element can be used to analysis structural pin jointed problems.
One Dimensional Linear Element: in 2D Frame
In an 2D environment, a typical bar element of length L and cross-sectional area A is assumed to be oriented at an angle θ anticlockwise from x-axis. The forces acting upon the bar element, which can be expressed as an element vector, can be decomposited such that forces between each element can react to each other.
The displacements of the nodes of the bar element, which can be expressed as an element vector, can be decomposited and expressed in terms of decomposited elements such that displacements due to the bar element can be connected with other elements.
Shape Function or Interpolation Function
For a two-node linear element, the linear displacement function can be assumed to be a linear function of x* along the axial direction of the element That is
Similar to other boundary problems, this trial displacement function for the bar must satisfy the boundary displacement conditions at two nodes. That is
The displacement is therefore equal to
where [u] is the displacement vector of the element, [A] is a 'coordinate matrix', and [C] is the constant vector.
The constant matrix is therefore equal to
The displacement function and shape function are therefore equal to
The Material Law or Constitutive Equations
Once the choice of shape functions is fixed, the type of the finite element is also determined. The finite element should also follow the law of material, that is the stress-strain relationships.
The strain in a bar element is given by
The strain of the element is therefore equal to
Where [B] is the strain displacement dimension matrix.
Since the bar element is under uniaxial load, the stress in a bar element is given by
Where [D] is the material property or stress-strain matrix and is equal to the Young's modulus E for a uniaxial load. The stress is then expressed in terms of displacement also.
The Element Stiffness Matrix
Force Equilibrium Approach
Since the element is in equilibrium, the resultant force acting upon the element should be equal to zero. or forces act on the element is equal and opposite. Imply
The element force vector can also be expressed in terms of the strain displacement dimension matrix [B], imply
Since the element is under an uniaxial load F, the stress in the element is equal to,
Therefore the element force vector can further be expressed in terms of displacement,
Therefore the element force vector can be expressed in form of stiffness times displacement,
and the element stiffness matrix is a symmetric matrix.
Minimum Total Potential Energy Approach
By neglecting the body weight of the bar, the total potential enegy of the element is,
By the principle of minimum total potential energy, the differential of total potential energy (TPE) with respect to the displacement [Ue] must be zero, imply,
One Dimensional Linear Element: Example in 2D Frame
Consider a simple system with 3 elements of same material of Young's modulus E, length L and area A. Three elements are connected by hinges. Three elements are arranged in an equilateral triangle shape, with one end of element 1 is fixed to a wall and the other end of element 1 is supported by a roller, while there is an applied load F applied to the top hinge of the triangular structure.
Element-wise Force-Displacement Equation
Element-wise Force-Displacement Equations for each element of the system can be constructed accordingly. Besides the length, cross-sectional area, and material property of each element, the orientation of the element is another important property of the element. For consistency, positive angle are used to orient the element at an angle θ anticlockwise from x-axis.
For element 1, that is from node 1 to node 2, angle of orientation is 0 degree, length=L, area=A, Young's modulus=E, imply
For element 2, that is from node 1 to node 3, angle of orientation is 60 degree, length=L, area=A, Young's modulus=E, imply
For element 3, that is from node 2 to node 3, angle of orientation is 120 degree, length=L, area=A, Young's modulus=E, imply
Node-Wise Force-Displacement Equation
For both the force equilibrium approach or the minimum potential energy approach, all element-wise force-displacement equations are in equilibrium. Since the displacement of any node in the system is same for every element attached to the node, the element-wise displacements of nodes are the same and with common displacement for every element connected. However, the considered element-wise force is not common force for every element connected to the node, and the forces for each element, in general, are usually difference in magnitude and direction. All element forces at a particular node are used to create the corresponding work potential for all element connected to the node, therefore the sum of all element forces are equal to induced forces due to the displacements of all elements connect to the node.
Two elements, 1 and 2, are connected at node 1. The sum of element forces at node 1 is equal to the sum of induced forces due to the displacements of all elements, 1 and 2, connect to the node 1.
Two elements, 1 and 3, are connected at node 2. The sum of element forces at node 2 is equal to the sum of induced forces due to the displacements of all elements, 1 and 3, connect to the node 2.
Two elements, 2 and 3, are connected at node 3. The sum of element forces at node 3 is equal to the sum of induced forces due to the displacements of all elements, 2 and 3, connect to the node 3.
Global Force-Displacement Equation
All element forces can be assembled as a global system of equations in form of global matrices which contains all the nodes.
That is 2*3 element forces, 2*3 displacements at 3 nodes, and stiffness matrix is (2*3) by (2*3). imply
and the global stiffness matrix is a symmetric matrix.
Boundary Conditions and External Loads
Since the system of elements is in equilibrium, both forces and displacement at node should be in equilibrium. In other words, The displacements of nodes in the global force-displacement equations should be same as the allowable boundary conditions, and the element forces exerted on nodes should be equal to the external load acted upon the nodes accordingly. That is,
Global Conditionalized Force-Displacement Equation
Substitute all boundary conditions and external loads into the global force-displacement equation. That is
Force-Displacement Equation Solving
There are 6 force-displacement equations and 6 unknowns, therefore the global force-displacement equation can be solved. Since the most interested unknown variables are displacements, the global force-displacement equation can be divided into two parts. Force-displacement equations with unknown displacement variables and force-displacement equations with unknown reaction variables.
For force-displacement equations with unknown reaction variables which also depending on unknown displacement variables.
For force-displacement equations with unknown displacement variables
Unknown displacement variables are therefore equal to
Unknown reaction variables are therefore equal to

DATA HIDRO is a computerized system Petrobras developed for storing, consolidating, and treating water resource and wastewater data coming from the Company's units. This system enables information management in an efficient, integrated, and decentralized manner and serves as a support tool for planning rational water use.
The system serves as a quantitative and qualitative database for records on the company's units' inbound and outbound water flow, amounts charged for water use, water and wastewater treatment and reuse systems, as well as information on Petrobras' employees serving as company representatives in Water Resources Forums.
As a management tool, DATA HIDRO allows the issuing of reports that subsidize the management's analyses of this topic in the various company facilities, including the water balance, the polluting load released, verification of compliance with the quality standards for wastewater use and discharge standards, as well as the calculation of corporate environmental performance indicators.
By means of the DATA HIDRO database, Petrobras also consolidates its Annual Water Resource and Wastewater Report, which, in 2017, brought together information from 455 water users.
The Company's water balance in 2017 appears in the infographic below:
a) The figures were obtained by measuring the consolidated direct measurements made at the units (2017 Water Resource and Wastewater Inventory).
b) The volume of discharged wastewater featured in the balance comprises the industrial process wastewater and the reclaimed water associated with lifted oil.
c) Rain water volumes are recorded in the "Third-party (Utilities and other sources)" category and added up to 0.05 million m³.
d) The volume of fresh water received from other Petrobras System units is recorded in the "Third-party (Utilities and other sources)" category based on the defined calculation method.
e) The volumes recorded for reuse do not include the condensate recovered in the thermal cycles, recirculated cooling water, and reclaimed water reinjected for secondary and tertiary oil recovery purposes.
f) Fresh water inflow and outflow for open circuit cooling is not included. In 2017, we used 30.9 million m3 of fresh water for this purpose.

All building codes require grade stamped materials for structural members that are used in residential and commercial construction. A new construction standard has been developed that is specific to log home wall construction. The International Code Council (ICC) 400-2007 Standard on the Design and Construction of Log Structures, states that “all logs used in the construction of log homes shall be stress graded and identified by the grade mark issued by an accredited log agency.” The slope of grain, knots per foot and soft knots can weaken a log's structural strength. You may be able to get less expensive logs from a sawmill or log home manufacturer that doesn't grade, but you don't have the assurance that these logs will perform under the stress load of your completed home. Grading also looks for issues such as decay, checks and insect issues. And it's important to keep in mind that these criteria should not only apply to logs used in the walls, but for ridge beams, purlins, rafters—all structural wood components.
This grade stamp assures buyers that the logs that they are purchasing have met the code requirements and are allowed to be used in the construction of that residential or commercial log home project. Using graded logs not only assures you that you are building "legally" anywhere in the US, it gives you the knowledge of the likelihood of the performance of your logs over time. And, it gives you the ability to determine the value you are getting-the price versus quality comparison.
Appalachian Log Structures, Inc. (ALSI) has been providing quality grade stamped logs to our customers for 30 years. Our graders have been certified and trained by Timber Product Inspection (TPI), the industry leader in inspection services.
Insist on a visual grade stamp to insure that your logs will meet this Standard when building a new log home!

Hales Corners — Kurtz Road will be closed to through-traffic at a point just north of Janesville Road through Saturday.
Crews are installing a culvert under the road as part of the Kurtz Road Reconstruction project that began July 25 and is slated to end Oct. 15. The project will cost $800,000.
Sunnyslope Road in New Berlin and 116th Street in Hales Corners are being suggested as alternative routes.
Kurtz Road will be reconstructed from Grange Avenue to Janesville Road, and the sewer system updated
Michael Martin, Director of Public Works for Hales Corners said, "We're very thankful to the residents that are affected by this. No road construction is neat and tidy. They're noisy, they're dusty and they're messy, but come October, we'll have a beautiful, completed road."

Our offer includes periodic and control measurements of gantry.
Gantries are transport and handling devices that work intermittently and are equipped with a lifting and lowering mechanism, i.e. a winch or a hoist.
Gantries are used in the process of moving materials vertically and horizontally in a space limited by the length of the travel path, lifting and lowering height and the width of the bridge. Their proper technical condition determines the safety of the factory, the processes carried out in it, and most importantly - people.
The geodetic measurements of gantries are based on the structure of the track bed and gantry tracks should ensure the possibility of checking compliance with the project and determining the deviations for rectification.
The geodetic control measurement is subject to:
straightness in the horizontal and vertical plane of the rail head of the gantry runway
difference in the level of rail heads, longitudinal slopes of rails
the geometry of the gantry roadway beams
rail spacing relative to the design spacing
straightness in the horizontal and vertical plane of the rail head of the gantry bridge
checking the traveling wheels of the gantry - their parallelism to the rails and spacing
shifting the fender in the direction of travel of the gantry
The deviations of the rail alignment can be determined not only in a static way, but also dynamically, during the operation of the gantry and its movement along the track.
REMEMBER - the correct geometry of the gantry protects against additional costs associated with faster wear of wheels, rails or bearings.

Ms RYALL (Ringwood) — (12 399) My adjournment request is to the Minister for Public Transport. The action I seek is for the minister to ensure all train and related public transport hold‑ups preventing the switching on of the new traffic lights on the corner of Bedford Road and Great Ryrie Street in Ringwood, adjacent to the train line, be urgently completed. These lights have sat there awaiting switch‑on for 14 months while everyone impacted by this dangerous intersection grows more and more concerned about the danger they experience when using it, be they a driver or a pedestrian. The lights are designed to dramatically control the very heavy pedestrian and traffic congestion at this busy intersection, which has three extremely large schools in very close proximity. The risk when trying to exit onto Bedford Road from Great Ryrie Street is enormous, as is exiting onto and entering from Bedford Road into Great Ryrie Street. As the minister would be aware, these lights need to coordinate with the trains and, as I understand, the switch that the community so desperately needs flicked cannot happen without the authority and action of Public Transport Victoria.
I am grateful to the federal member for Deakin for his work securing $1 million in federal funding to get these lights in place to improve the safety of everybody at the intersection in the first place, but it is now well past time for the minister to ensure the go‑ahead is given for these traffic lights to be activated so that community concerns around the safety of this intersection can be allayed.


I know we like to quote treehugger – but they always have such great info!
When designing a solar passive home, one of the most important features functionally is constructing the exterior walls to perform as a thermal mass to capture, store and distribute heat throughout the space. A thermal mass could be made of any material – sometimes water, sometimes concrete, and perhaps rammed earth, as discussed in this article.
We’ll need to research rammed earth further to determine whether its a good solution in the temperate climate for our little house in Indianapolis, but for the west coast of the U.S. where the climate is dry, these super thick (sometimes 2′ thick) walls seem to be a great construction solution, creating interesting designs with beautiful striated walls and happy homeowners. As a bonus, these projects are often fabricated with materials found on the site.
Here is a blog we found dedicated to rammed earth construction – there are some great photos of really beautiful walls.

It was first announced in 2014 but seven years on and with a whole new plan in place, demolition work on Stockport’s old bus station is to finally begin next week to make way for a new multi-million pound interchange.
The transport interchange will feature a rooftop park and 196 new apartments in a ‘landmark’ development project by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), Stockport Council, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
20 bus stands, alongside seated waiting areas and cycle storage will also be provided as part of the ‘fully accessible’ and covered passenger concourse.
The new transport interchange, which is set to open in 2024, will also provide new cycling and walking routes to the train station and town centre.
Demolition work on the 40-year-old station will begin on Monday (October 18) and the ongoing construction is expected to cause ‘some disruption’ to passengers.
A temporary bus station was opened in August at the car park on Heaton Lane to provide an alternative facility for passengers alongside Mersey Square. Other services such as coaches are running from temporary stops in the town centre.
Stephen Rhodes, Customer Director at TfGM, said: “The demolition of the old bus station, which forms part of a wider package of site preparation works, really marks a big step forward in this project and will help to make way for a new, innovative interchange.
“We appreciate that our site preparation works may cause some disruption, and we will aim to keep this to a minimum.
“The new interchange, which is due to open to passengers in 2024, will act as a welcoming gateway into Stockport town centre and provide much improved facilities for bus users.
“It will also see the delivery of easier and improved routes into the town centre and to the railway station, as well as improved accessibility between the interchange and the A6.”
The development will feature a new residential building comprising 196 high quality apartments, which will be delivered with support from Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and a grant from Homes England.
Cllr David Meller, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “I’m so pleased that work is progressing to bring forward not only a state of the art transport hub but also good quality new homes and a rooftop park in the heart of the town centre for people to spend time in and enjoy.
“We want to encourage people to find alternative transport methods to using a car and this new hub will allow residents to take the bus, train and eventually Metrolink when it arrives in Stockport.
“Our ambitious plans for the town centre are being delivered at pace and this is a key piece of the jigsaw.”
Greater Manchester-based Willmott Dixon in the North will be undertaking the initial work, and the company expects it to be a project that has a ‘long-lasting legacy’ in Stockport.
Anthony Dillon, Managing Director for Willmott Dixon in the North, explained: “We’re pleased to be getting underway with the site preparation works for this transformational project and to be playing our part in shaping the future of Stockport town centre.
“We’re looking forward to working with TfGM and their project partners as we take these important early steps in delivering a long-lasting legacy for Stockport and the wider Greater Manchester community.”

Berwick Green is a planned development of new homes in Patchway, South Gloucestershire. Set to be complete by the Spring of 2022, and built by award-winning housebuilders Bellway and Taylor Wimpey Homes.
Once completed the development will offer 2-bedroom apartments and 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes.
The developers secured approval in 2018 to build the 1,000-home estate on fields in Cribbs Causeway, despite existing residents raising concerns about increased traffic.
The joint housebuilders have now submitted a joint ‘design code’ to the authority, with more information and images of their vision.
The development has been named Berwick Green, with a proposed 25% of the build classed as affordable housing.
What the developers are saying…
As part of delivering the development, the developers said they would make contributions of more than £12.5m to services, highway works, and education in the Patchway community.
John Vowles, land director at Bellway South West, said: “The completion of this, the biggest land purchase in our history. It underlines our commitment to delivering much-needed high-quality housing in South Gloucestershire.
“The Cribbs Causeway development is an extremely ambitious project which provides an opportunity to create a distinctive new neighbourhood.
Located in a sustainable location just six miles from the centre of Bristol, and we are proud to be at the forefront of the scheme.”
The developers said they would be submitting a detailed planning application for the first phases in the coming weeks. With construction works at Berwick Green likely to start later in the year.

Ceres partners with public and/or private sector/operators to finance large core infrastructure projects in various sectors such as transportation (airports, toll roads, bridges, tunnels, rail, parkings, etc.), distribution (water, waste and energy pipelines/grids), utilities, construction, telecommunication (optic fiber networks), social infrastructure (student housing, etc.) and specialty infrastructure (government/military buildings, courthouses, storages).
Ceres deploys large amounts of senior debt over the long term (> 20 years) to single infrastructure projects. Ceres is an alternative source of financing (to banks or muni-bonds) for municipalities/public entities and corporates to realize their asset renovation in a time and cost-efficient manner.
Ceres is a flexible solution (sculpts the debt amortization based on the cash flow profile of the asset to be renovated) and matches the maturity of the loan with the duration of the concession. Ceres hereby reduces the financial stress of the project and to the owners of the asset thanks to the long term and affordable nature of its financing (reducing annuities), avoids the refinancing cost/risk, prevents the debt to end up on the public entity and for the operator’s balance sheets and enhances returns to shareholders of the project (private equity infrastructure funds, operators, etc.).


As speed limiters continue to be debated, many pros and cons have come forward while the question of how they will impact roadway safety continue to be unknown.
Roadway safety is a key component throughout the trucking industry. Everyone wants to be safe, and no one wants to be responsible for creating hazardous or fatal driving conditions. That being said, the road to safety isn’t always an easy one.
A mandate to limit the speed of large trucks was proposed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration in September of 2016. Since then many proposals have been made, studies have been conducted, and debates have been held to determine the next best course of action to increase roadway safety for everyone.
Let’s look at the pros and cons of speed limiters.
Speed Limiter Pros
Those who are in favor of speed limiters or speed governors say the trucking and environmental benefits include:
Improved Road Safety: The Truckers Report notes that commercial trucks are responsible for 18% of all fatal crashes with speed being the primary factor. FMCSA has been studying the effects speed limiting devices would have on the industry. A recent study found trucks with speed limiting devices have a 50% lower crash rate compared to trucks without such devices.
Improved fuel efficiency: This is more than a theory as many studies have been conducted, and many trucking companies have already adopted speed limiters as a way to improve fuel efficiency.
Reduced emissions: In keeping with the same logic and testing done with speed limiters increasing fuel efficiency, they also reduce emissions. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use, the more carbon dioxide your produce.
Speed Limiter Cons
On the flip side, those against speed limiters say there will be a negative impact on the industry and roadway safety:
Unintended safety consequences: a difference in speed between vehicles on the highway creates more interactions between vehicles which can lead to unsafe driving conditions. On two-lane roads, especially, speed limiters could pose increased safety risks if and when vehicles of any kind can’t achieve a safe passing speed.
Increased congestion: Bottlenecks are created and congestion results when vehicles travel at different speeds over the same network. The most acute problems would occur on two-lane roads, but four-lane divided highways would be affected, too.
Increased emissions: the net reduction in emissions assumes that the flow of traffic will not be affected. If speed limiters on truck cause increased traffic congestion, or force more speed adjustments by other vehicles, emissions will increase.
OOIDA Fights Against Limiters
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, the nation’s only organization representing professional and small-business truckers, created a video demonstrating the dangers of speed-limited trucks.
The video is designed not only for the trucking community but also for all highway users, so that they can learn the dangers of speed differentials created by artificially speed limiting large trucks.
“We encourage our members and the motoring public to share the video freely,” said Norita Taylor, director of public relations at OOIDA.


Introduction: The Pacific Northwest, a region known for its diverse weather patterns, ranging from heavy rainfalls to bright, sunny days, necessitates specific roofing materials that can withstand these unique conditions. Homeowners in this area need to be particularly discerning when choosing the right roofing option. In this post, we’ll explore the most popular and efficient roofing types used in the Pacific Northwest USA.
1. Asphalt Shingles: Asphalt shingles are a common choice among Pacific Northwest homeowners due to their affordability and versatility. They are available in various colors and styles, easily matching different architectural designs. Moreover, their composition offers good resistance to moisture, a crucial feature in this rain-prone region.
2. Metal Roofing: Metal roofs are increasingly popular in the Pacific Northwest due to their durability and longevity. They can withstand heavy rain, strong winds, and even snow, making them an ideal choice for the region’s varied climate. Additionally, metal roofs are energy-efficient, reflecting sunlight and helping maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
3. Cedar Shakes and Shingles: Cedar roofing is a traditional choice in the Pacific Northwest, offering a natural and rustic aesthetic. Cedar shakes and shingles are known for their insulation properties and resistance to strong winds. However, they require regular maintenance to prevent moss and mildew growth, common in this damp climate.
4. Slate Roofing: Slate roofing is a premium option that provides a unique and elegant look. It’s incredibly durable and can last for decades, even in harsh weather conditions. While it’s on the higher end of the price spectrum, its longevity and aesthetic appeal make it a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.
5. Green Roofing: Green roofs, also known as living roofs, are an eco-friendly option gaining traction in the Pacific Northwest. These roofs are partially or completely covered with vegetation, helping with insulation, reducing stormwater runoff, and improving air quality. They are perfect for environmentally conscious homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Conclusion: Choosing the right roofing material is essential for any homeowner in the Pacific Northwest. Whether you prioritize durability, aesthetics, or environmental impact, there’s a roofing type to meet your needs. Consider these options to ensure your home stays protected and beautiful in this region’s unique climate.

Santa Maria River Bridges
updated: Jun 18, 2012, 11:38 AM
Construction to widen the Hwy. 101 Santa Maria River
Bridges will result in overnight lane closures beginning Monday, June 18 from 7 pm to 6 am to install
structural girders under the bridges. This work is expected to be noisy at times due to back up alarms
and lighting for the safety of construction workers.
Following the placement of these girders, excavation work will begin in the center median north and
south of the existing bridges. This work will occur at night with compaction of the soil likely taking
place during the daytime hours.
Bicyclists should be aware of limited shoulder space on the bridge at all times during construction. The
following detour for bicyclists is recommended. Bicyclists traveling southbound can detour along
Thompson Avenue to State Route 166 East to Bull Canyon Road to Donovan Road.
Bicyclists traveling northbound can detour along Donovan Road to Bull Canyon Road to State Route 166
West to Thompson Avenue. This project will widen the bridge from two to three lanes in each direction
with inside/outside shoulders and will include a bicycle path near the southbound lanes behind a
concrete barrier. In addition, all existing traffic lanes will be resurfaced.
The contractor for this $31 million project is Flatiron West Inc. of Benicia, CA. The project is
approximately 45% complete. It is expected to be completed in 2014.

Citizens filled the council chambers and much of an overflow room in the fire station, where they watched the proceeding on TVs. The city also received several dozen emails on the topic before the hearing. At an open house that preceded the hearing, citizens perused maps detailing the plan.

None of this would have been possible without the hard work of Dan Hartman working with CDOT engineers, and Mayor Marjorie Sloan’s tireless efforts to reach out to our neighbors. Both Hartman and Mayor Sloan praised CDOT officials for their cooperation and willingness to negotiate an agreement that recognizes the importance of protecting Golden.
Hartman said CDOT and Golden still face the “monumental challenge” of identifying funding for the specific improvements outlined but that process can begin with the council’s endorsement of the plan. The first priority would be building an interchange at 19th Street and U.S. 6, which has high volumes of vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and the city’s highest accident rate. Council also approved with a 6 to 1 vote, funding of up to $150,000 for preliminary design of potential transportation projects along the corridor.
The story of how we got to this point follows a long and winding road that’s worth revisiting to provide context and perspective.
Pressure to complete a beltway around the metro area has been mounting for decades. There have been many efforts to complete a section through the Northwest part of the region; all have assumed that the road would follow the 6th Avenue and SH 93 corridor through Golden. That would make Golden the only established community that would be bisected by the beltway anywhere in the metro area.
In 1989, area voters defeated a ballot issue to fund construction of the proposed W-470 toll road with a new $10 vehicle registration fee. But that did not deter beltway proponents. The Northwest Parkway Highway Authority was created in 2001, and completed its segment of the highway from I-25 at E-470 to US 36 in Broomfield. At the same time Jefferson County, Golden, Arvada, Lakewood, Westminster and Wheat Ridge hired infrastructure consulting firm CH2MHill to do a transportation study of the northwest quadrant of the metro area. That study concluded that there would be little traffic benefit from completion of the beltway through Jefferson County and that transportation needs would be better addressed through improvements to existing roads in the region – namely a parkway along 6 and 93 and similar improvements on Indiana and McIntyre.
Golden citizens and city leaders came together in 2003 to outline a vision for improving transportation within Golden city limits, responding to the needs defined in the CH2MHill study. The result of a year of study and extensive community discussions, including nine public meetings and hundreds of citizen comments, found that traffic needs could be met through a specific set of upgrades or realignments of existing roads (including 6 and 93). This Golden plan, which would also keep traffic noise within reasonable levels while connecting neighborhoods and preserving the natural and historic beauty of the area, was unanimously adopted by City Council.
Jefferson County and Arvada responded by forming a highway authority to build the Jefferson Parkway toll road from Broomfield to SH 93 north of Golden. This effort was supported with a $15 million environmental study by CDOT that showed a 70-mph six-lane freeway all the way through Golden along 6 and 93. This process ignored the plan that Golden had defined in 2003 and prompted strong disagreement between Golden and CDOT.
There was an effort in 2011 by Golden, CDOT and other local governments to find a compromise but that fell short. However, the current CDOT leadership appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper expressed a renewed commitment to find a real solution.
Golden last year held another community-wide transportation conversation with residents to evaluate possible 6 and 93 corridor designs that would be consistent with residents’ vision for our small town. Based on that feedback, City Council directed Golden staff to work with CDOT for the past year to identify potential improvements for the 6 and 93 corridor in Golden that work for our community. This was part of a deliberate strategy to have the political folks step back and let technical staff see if there was a compromise that might satisfy Golden, CDOT, and benefit the entire region.
Please head to our Golden’s Proposed Plan page to review the changes to the original 2003 Golden Plan.
Golden’s one-of-a-kind setting provides unique benefits and challenges. The city’s small-town feel is guarded from urban sprawl by mesas to the north and south and mountains to the west. Major roadways that connect us to the region make transportation convenient but also channel regional growth pressures into our narrow valley. Managing these dynamics is key to maintaining the quality of life upon which Golden residents and businesses depend.
In 2003, Golden citizens and City leaders came together to outline a vision for the future of transportation within the City. The City has been working intensively to update this plan to ensure that it represents both Golden’s continuing vision for thoughtful transportation planning and how the region and its needs have evolved.
Energetic citizen engagement is the foundation of good public policy. This website will help Golden residents stay informed and share their views on transportation-related issues. Here, Golden residents and businesses can ask questions, make comments, and learn about both the history of, and latest developments regarding, this issue. Please explore the site and sign up for email updates so we can share important news with you.
This site was created in early 2011, when Golden was in talks with neighboring jurisdictions on issues related to the proposed Jefferson Parkway. Golden’s goal was to mitigate potential negative impacts of the Jefferson Parkway while identifying funding for needed transportation improvements within the city. Those negotiations ended in late 2011 without an agreement. Since then, however, Golden has continued informal discussions with state and regional officials on transportation issues.
Because of the extended and evolving nature of this issue, some of the information on this site serves as a historical record and may not reflect the latest developments. fake mens rolex replica replica rolex


“Complying With Building Codes In A Commercial Rental” written by Mike Marko
Do you know the commercial rental building codes?
Almost every building that is built or being built (or modified) must follow a certain set of rules called building codes. They’re an essential part of construction for any property, including a commercial rental.
Wherever you go, the building codes are compulsory. They should be taken seriously by everyone including the property managers.
Do you know why you need to follow these codes?
Well, in today’s article, we will talk about building codes and why your commercial rental property has to follow it.
Compliance Of Building Codes For A Commercial Rental
As the property manager in the commercial rental specialty, you will be asked to manage commercial buildings that have been previously constructed and others that are under construction or have recently concluded construction. When taking on a new commercial building to manage you need to make sure that the building you will be managing is safe and was constructed according to present building and safety codes.
Each commercial building will have certificates of occupancies and other government certificates showing that the construction was done according to standards and that the building is safe for tenants to occupy the space.
When taking on new or established commercial building you need to know what is required for compliance of building codes and have knowledge about the present safety condition required for the building you will be managing.
Knowing what is required for building code compliance in your area is important. That knowledge can help you manage and keep your commercial rental in good condition.
Before discussing the different types of compliance, we should first have an understanding of what a building code is and how it could affect your commercial rental business…
What is A Building Code
The building code also is known as building control or building regulations, is a certain set of rules that specify the standards for constructed objects such as buildings, and nonbuilding structures.
The building code is intended to be applied by architects, engineers, interior designers, constructors, and regulators when constructing new buildings for commercial uses. Building codes are used by safety inspectors, environmental scientists, real estate developers, subcontractors, manufacturers of building products and materials, insurance companies, facility managers, and others to guarantee those correct materials were used in construction and that the building is safe for occupancy.
The main purpose of the building code is to protect public health, safety, and general welfare.
Examples of building codes include:
- International Commercial or Residential Code [ICC/IRC] in the USA
- Electrical codes and plumbing, mechanical codes in the USA
- National model codes published by the National Research Council of Canada
Building codes are meant to be followed for all new construction. They also need to be adopted to older constructed building especially if you have a commercial rental property. You are legally liable for making sure that a building is in compliance for building and safety codes. If you have a building that can’t meet building codes then you should not continue the operation of the property until it can be modified to meet the requirements of the area.
Types Of Building Codes
In the United States and in many other countries government officials are setting standards that require every building being constructed or previously constructed to be built or modified to follow present building codes. Each country has their own building codes but even if they are different from the others the main goal of building codes is to keep the building safe for everyone.
Below are some different types of building codes that should be observed when planning or completing a new construction. Additionally, you should make sure that when asked to manage a commercial building that the building was certified by government officials and meets the standards of the local and national building codes…
National Building Codes
National building codes are building codes that are developed by the government agencies or quasi-governmental standard organizations. This type of building code is required by the government and it is compulsory to oversee new construction projects. They are also used to bring older buildings into compliance for safety standards. National building codes are used in different buildings such as residential property and commercial rental throughout the world.
Model Building Codes
This type of building code exists in countries where the power of regulating construction and fire safety are assigned to local authorities. Model building codes have no legal status unless it is adopted by an authority having jurisdiction over the construction and certificates of occupancy for buildings.
Once Model building codes are adopted by the local authority they can be referenced in any legal instruments and the particular model code will become a law.
Aside from the United States, this type of building code is also used in the following countries:
o Abu Dhabi
o the Caribbean Community
o Saudi Arabia
The Eurocode is a type of building code that is used entirely in Europe. The main reason for use of Eurocode during the construction of new and existing buildings is again to ensure public safety when using or visiting any type of building. This Pan-European building code has succeeded the older national building codes and each country over Europe has National Annexes to localize the contents of the Eurocode.
What Is Code Compliance
When you are operating a commercial rental property this property must meet and be in any code compliance required by local and national inspectors.
If the property is recently constructed or about to be completed it is still required to follow and be in compliance with any and all building and safety codes. Commercial building rentals must also comply with the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) standards so it can be accessed by disabled persons.
Another part of the code compliance is where the building must be free of environmental hazards such as lead paint dust, asbestos, and chemical contaminants.
Scope Of Building Codes
All countries and local and city governments have reviewed and decided what building codes they require and how they set standards for regulating or bringing into compliance different parts of the buildings in their area:
- wall assemblies
- fenestration size/locations
- egress rules
- size/location of rooms
- floor assemblies
- roof structures/assemblies
- energy efficiency
- stairs and halls
- site drainage & storage
- fixtures standards
- occupancy rules
- swimming pool
Most local and national governments will require compliance of rules regarding parking and traffic impact. Each building whether it’s a residential or commercial rental property must have enough parking space for its tenants and clients. Aside from that, the property must be perfectly planned so it won’t affect the flow of the traffic and contribute to the ongoing growth of the community it is being built in.
Building codes, material standards, and fire codes are strict and are used to minimize the risk of a fire and to ensure safe evacuation in the event of such an emergency. Other building code rules and safety standards are set up to overcome or confront emergencies includes earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters.
Building codes and safety requirements will be set extremely high in disaster-prone areas that frequently experience earthquakes (seismic code), hurricane, flood, and tsunami resistance, where a failure would be catastrophic. The design and the materials that will be used in the building must prevent or at least lessen the possible casualties if emergencies happen.
Minimum and maximum room and exit sizes and location are also set in the building code. The qualification of individuals or corporations that will construct and work in the building is also stated.
Negotiating A Good Compliance Clause
As the property manager of the commercial rental property, consider these approaches for negotiating a good compliance clause.
Landlord-Friendly Compliance Clause
Almost all property managers and landlords are providing rental lease agreements with a compliance clause regarding the commercial buildings they manage. However, when agreeing to compliance it is recommended that you know and understand the operations and construction of your commercial buildings so you can easily set tenant and landlord responsibilities.
You can make your tenant responsible for “compliance with all laws” which will require them to provide certificates of occupancy, insurance, and other legal documents prior to occupying the commercial building. You can give them all the responsibilities of keeping the commercial rental property in good condition.
Example of duties that might involve in this clause are:
- Replacing a leaking roof
- Widening the lobby doorways
- Removing building-wide deteriorating asbestos
- Making sure all sprinkler systems, smoke detector appliances, and fire escape equipment are in place and up to code
Even though you are making your tenants responsible for building compliance it is still your legal responsibility as a property manager to ensure that compliance is met and that the building is safe for occupancy…
Tenant-Friendly Compliance Clause
Your tenant can also get benefits or advantages from a compliance clause. To make it possible, it should include the following:
- Requiring the landlord to promise or warrant that the building is in compliance as of the time you take possession. This will limit tenant’s responsibilities for any noncompliance that existed.
- Requiring the landlord to warrant that space is code-compliant to the tenant’s intended business activities. This will ensure the tenant that he/she won’t have to engage in expensive remedial compliance work.
- Insisting that the additional compliance responsibilities be specified in the lease; should not have a lease clause that includes the open-ended description “including but not limited to” which will give the landlord the right to increase the tenant’s responsibilities at some point.
Regardless of the compliance codes you sign for rentals, ultimately you would be held responsible for any and all safety issues regarding the building. Therefore it’s best to set up an internal audit system in your business to ensure compliance of safety and building codes for the commercial buildings that you manage.
No Compliance Clause
Have a no “compliance with laws” clause for the tenant if you’re a property manager. This type of an agreement is not suggested or recommended as you as the building manager will ultimately be held responsible for anything that the tenant in your building does in regards to compliance and safety.
However, if noncompliance in building codes or safety codes is a result of action by the owner, the landlord or property manager will have to pay for it. Tenants will only pay for noncompliance that resulted from their use of the property or alterations or improvements.
Before using a “No Compliance Clause” it would be best to consult with a real estate attorney to make sure that you are within the legal limits on compliance for the building you will be managing…
Final Thoughts On Code Compliance In A Commercial Rental
In this blog post, we covered commercial rental building codes. As the property manager, your commercial rental should follow the building codes to keep your business successfully and legit. Failing to comply with the codes could halt your operation, and even permanently end it.
Building codes exist to help keep the property, the tenants, and the general public safe. Following the codes is not optional.

MAKING CFA DRILLED PILES WITH A CONTINUOUS SPIRAL WITH A DIAMETER FROM 400 TO 1000m
LHR performs these piles with a diameter of 400 to 1000 mm and a length of up to 24 m.
These piles have the same purpose and load capacity as the classic drilled piles. They are performed faster and easier. The technology of making piles consists of drilling the soil with an endless spiral with a diameter of 400 to 1000 mm to the projected depth. Then, the concrete pump outlet is mounted on top of the endless spiral and concrete is installed in a controlled manner through the central opening of the endless spiral from the bottom of the shaft to higher, with the endless spiral gradually being pulled out of the shaft. After the concreting is finished, with the help of a vibrator, the previously prepared reinforcement cage is installed in the fresh concrete.
Continuous Flight Auger piles, known as CFA piles, are increasingly used because their construction is very economical. With proper design and planning, efficient equipment and an experienced workforce, exceptional effects can be achieved. The advantage of these piles, in addition to economy, is the production with slight vibrations and noise. Also, if problems arise during the construction of the piles, it is relatively easy to re-drill and place the pile in the same spot, which eliminates the need to redesign the groups of piles and pile caps.
The construction of a parking space under future buildings opens up several interesting engineering problems, one of which is the most important protection of foundation pits that can go several floors in depth. Anyone who has dealt with this issue in theory and practice knows what problems the occurrence of groundwater causes in the construction of such structures, it is usually not recommended to lower the groundwater level in all terrains and when the surrounding facilities are close, and especially not when open excavation is planned to last a long time. In these cases CFA piles can be very efficiency solution
