Fall Creek Dam on Fall Creek, a tributary of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River
Fall Creek Dam is located at river mile 7.2 on Fall Creek, a tributary of the Willamette River, about 20 miles southeast of Eugene, Oregon. In coordination with Lookout Point and Hills Creek dams, the three dams work together for the purposes of flood risk management, water quality improvement, irrigation, fish and wildlife habitat and recreation.
Carrying out the Reasonable and Prudent Alternative (RPA) from the 2008 Willamette Project Biological Opinion requires a suite of actions determined necessary to protect ESA-listed Upper Willamette River Spring Chinook salmon and Upper Willamette River Winter Steelhead ESUs. Key actions which apply for all of the project dams covered under the 2008 Opinion include:
- Meeting ramp rates and flow targets for the Willamette River mainstem and tributaries.
- Interim operations to improve conditions for fish passage, spawning, incubation and rearing are being conducted until permanent solutions can be developed and completed.
- Research Monitoring and Evaluation efforts to inform decision making for downstream fish passage, temperature control, and to analyze the effectiveness of actions which have already been undertaken.
In addition, RPA actions for Fall Creek Dam includes:
- Draw-down and operate Fall Creek project at an elevation of 714ft or below to improve passage and survival of juvenile UWR Chinook salmon. Research is being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this action. Learn more...
- Fall Creek adult collection facility rebuild scheduled to be complete and operating by 2016.


Here is my comment, posted at that site:
I finally took some time to look at the GIS map server and these fourteen wells. It is really, really impressive.Say what you want, I think the way "they've" come up with the spacing AND the field rules have really helped make the development of the Bakken rational, sensible, and very, very fair to all involved.
Three pads: one 6-well pad; one 4-well pad; one 4-well pad. In section 6-153-101.
All three pads, all fourteen wells, are in one long line west to east, or east to west, in the northwest quadrant of the section. And as noted, just to the northwest of these fourteen wells, in the same section, is a dedicated salt-water disposal well.
Think of the cost savings. One road out to the general area. One natural gas pipeline out to the general area. One rural electric power line out to the general area. Look at all the farmland that was not plowed under.


In recognition of Nick's 50th year Lindum Construction, our appointed building contractor, presented Nick with three engraved bricks to be applied to each of our three new developments. Each brick is engraved with '2018' and Nick has been tasked to apply his limited brick laying skills by laying each brick. Nick was joined by both the Site and Contracts Manager at our site in Washingborough where he got to work.
'Whilst there is a shortage of skilled workers in construction, I am of no doubt that I would not make a good brick layer' said Nick. 'I am most grateful to Lindum Construction for the gift of the engraved bricks marking my 50th year and the start on site of 82 new homes in Lincolnshire'.


GSS Lockers prides itself on using renewable resources with environmentally-friendly, state-of-the-art processes to help sustain a healthy and clean environment. We’re pleased to share this information with clients participating in the LEED® program.
The LEED® Program
The Canadian Green Building Council introduced the LEED® Canada-NC 1.0 rating system to recognize buildings that incorporate design, construction and operational practices that combine healthy, high-quality and high-performance advantages with reduced environmental impacts. The LEED® system is divided into five categories:
- Sustainable Sites
- Water Efficiency
- Energy and Atmosphere
- Materials and Resources
- Indoor Environmental Quality
GSS Lockers can help contractors participating in LEED® to attain points in the Materials and Resources sections MR 4.1 – MR 4.2 and MR 5.1 – MR 5.2.
MR Credit 4.1 and Credit 4.2 – Recycled Content
Up to two credits can be award based on the percentage of recycled content of a project. One point is awarded if the recycled content constitutes at least 7.5% (of which 5% is post-consumer and 2.5% post-industrial) of the total value of the materials in the project. Two points are awarded if the recycled content constitutes at least 15% (10% post-consumer, and 5% post-industrial) of the value of the project.
How GSS Lockers Helps:
- Lockers are manufactured predominately from 100%-recycled mild steel. The recycled steel content may sometimes vary as low as 50% depending on the market price of scrap steel. On average, the breakdown of post-consumer and post-industrial sources is 50% of each.
- Steel is procured from a variety of manufacturers based on availability and price. Therefore, we can not track the manufacturer of the steel used in a particular project.
- Powder coat paint eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
MR Credit 5.1 and Credit 5.2 – Regional Materials
Up to two credits can be awarded for using materials and products manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts of transportation. One point is awarded if a minimum of 10% of the materials and products are manufactured within an 800km radius of the project site (2400km if shipped by rail or water). Two points are awarded if the regional goods exceed 20% of the entire project.
Lockers are manufactured at GSS Lockers’s London, Ontario factory.
GSS Lockers strives to use renewable resources by way of the raw materials and manufacturing processes that it incorporates.
LEED® Canada-NC 1.0 requirements outlined above have been provided from the Canada Green Building Council’s website. For additional LEED® information, refer to www.cagbc.org. Contact GSS Lockers for additional information regarding our co-operation in the LEED® program for a cleaner environment.

Because of siltation and encroachment the original capacity of the Thalangama tank, which was 50-60 Ac.ft. (61,000-74,000m3) has decreased to 32 Ac.ft. (39,000 m3) causing a water deficit for the farmers, and limiting the area’s flood retention capacity. Although there exists different opinions about the exact numbers, the need for lake desilting and removal of excess vegetation (especially parts of the invasive Wel Atha trees) to increase the water storage and irrigation capacity of the lake was of mutual agreement by all stakeholders, considering however, that the environmental protection status of the area demanded a careful and balanced approach.
After the stop of the dredging at the end of 2017, the construction work continued along the Averihena tank. Local residents at Lake Road wonder how far the dredging has affected local biodiversity. An obvious impact has been the release of plant nutrients from the moved and removed sediments and trees into the water, resulting in a rapid spread of nutrient-loving water hyacinths on the central part of the lake. This has been supported by the dropping from large bird colonies resting overnight on the Wel Atha tree islands of the lake.
The dredging in 2017 reclaimed a significant lake area which was overgrown with trees while preserving a part of them to maintain local biodiversity and night resting places for birds.
Celebrating the end of the work and rebuilt road along the lake after the trucks and caterpillars left in April 2018.
2019: The construction work along the lake was re-launched with a new contractor. The work dates back to the original plan (see map above) to install a new flood gate next to the circular spillway. The intention is that based on rain forecast the flood gate will automatically open to release water from the tank through two large concrete tubes towards the Averihena lake and eventually the Kelani river. This will allow the Thalangama lake to absorb more water under extreme rainfall events and in this way prevent potential flooding.
2020: Regular updates on the new flood gate can be found under “News from the Lake”. The work was finished in October 2020.


Assistant Eaton City Manager Joe Ferriell discussed past, current, and upcoming infrastructure projects for the city during a Monday, June 16, regular council meeting.
The projects will give residents and travelers the ease of access and transport throughout the city, as well as an updated water main line.
The Park Avenue project, completed as of May of this year, also featured widening alleyways to optimize service vehicles’ access. The railroad crossing on Maple Street in Eaton was also repaired.
Road crews reduced the impact of the “bump” when crossing over the tracks. “What happened there, I know the railroad came in and put the crossings in backwards,” said Ferriell. The pre-assembly of the parts prior to installation, are the speculated cause of the large bump in the road.
City traffic lights sport new wiring and bulbs to ensure functionality.
Municipal paving, shown in red on the map provided, exhibits paving completed on Sugar Hill Dr. and Lexington Ave., as well as areas near the Eaton Municipal Building, serves to provide better, smoother roads for travelers.
Urban paving on Barron Street, shown in green on the map, serves to replace an existing waterline underground. ProGrade Excavation and Demolition is taking on the project. The projected completion of the project is in 2015.
Council approved a zoning change for a building located on 114 West St. Clair St. from a Central Residential classification to a Community Commercial classification. The owners, Robert and Darlene Koontz, said their business had been located at the address under a conditional use permit for several years. Council approved the permanent commercial zoning designation.
In other business, Eaton City Council bid farewell to Thomas Fitzsimmons. “Know that Eaton will always be your home,” said Mayor Gary Wagner. “It’s always been nice to be welcomed here,” said Father Fitzsimmons. “I pray for the City of Eaton and for all the work you do.”
Father Fitzsimmons will be moving to Cincinnati to live in a rectory by the Ohio River.
The 2015 Tax Budget was adopted by council. Council authorized City Manager Brad Collins to apply for OPWC and/or Local Transportation Improvement Programs.


Pictured: An artist’s impression of the Bishop Gate development in Coventry.
VINCI Construction UK has been appointed to deliver phase one of the Bishop Gate student accommodation development in Coventry city centre, Barberry Developments announced today.
Work is now underway to deliver the £60 million first phase of the project, which will provide 725 student units in a three-storey brick and sandstone plinth and three residential blocks above.
The development is to be completed in time for the 2018/19 academic year, according to Barberry director Henry Bellfield. The project is situated on the former Royal Mail sorting office site.
He said: “We are making tremendous progress at Bishop Gate. We have now appointed VINCI Construction UK – a world leader in construction and civil engineering - as contractors to deliver this exciting development.
“VINCI Construction UK has enormous experience of delivering similar student accommodation schemes, including more than 800 units at Mason halls of residence for the University of Birmingham and 656 high rise student rooms at Bagot street near Aston University .
“We are delighted to be working alongside them and we are confident that together we will deliver a development the university and the city can be proud of. It is going to be a very striking development and a major improvement to the Coventry skyline. It is a high quality scheme that will help improve the image of the city.”
VINCI Construction UK’s Regional Construction Director, Edward Biddle, said: “We are delighted to have secured this prestigious project with Barberry Developments and look forward to working with them to deliver this scheme for Coventry University.”
Barberry and Coventry University received planning consent from Coventry City Council for a development providing a total 1,116 student units, across five tower blocks rising up to 17 storeys, to accommodate the university’s growing student population.
The project will transform the site of the former Royal Mail sorting office into high quality purpose-built student accommodation with gardens, bicycle storage, multi-use courtyards and an impressive frontage on to Bishop Street and Tower Street, including retail units open to the public.
Last year Barberry appointed architects Stride Treglown, with student accommodation divisional director Kieran Lilley leading the project. Arcadis are cost consultants, with Hoare Lea as M&E engineers and Nolan Associates as Civil & Structural engineers.
Barberry is a member of the Coventry and Warwickshire MIPIM Partnership, made up of leading companies and organisations, which support the area’s presence at the show in Cannes, France. Key development and investment opportunities are highlighted through a major presence at the event and also through a series of key events. This is the seventh consecutive year that Barberry has supported the region’s MIPIM delegation.
Henry added: “While providing essential accommodation capacity for the university, this is also a prime site in the heart of Coventry so we are keen to ensure that this scheme is of the highest quality and enjoys the support of the wider community.
“Coventry University has been awarded modern university of the year 2014, 15 and 16 in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, which is unprecedented. Those accolades demonstrate the university’s growing success and reflect the great things it is doing for students and the city.”


Top 5 Urban Cities For Biking
Biking is damn interesting not only for the activities of professional cycling but also for making the most out of our daily routines. A fairly large number of urban cities are now encouraging their inhabitants to take more priority in biking probably to avoid the daily glitches of road traffic while traveling to and from their workplaces. More and more urban cities are investing resources and efforts in the development of advanced cycling infrastructure. The competition between the world’s best biking-friendly cities gets tougher every year and finally, here are the Top 5 Urban Cities for Biking based on the index released by the Copenhagenize Design Company.
Copenhagen is one of the cities with a bike-friendly atmosphere. The city has a mega and ultra-unique cycling infrastructure which is said to have gulped a massive investment of €134 million.
Inhabitants of Copenhagen have a strong flair for biking and it’s been estimated that over 60% of the city’s population engages in daily biking. Copenhagen’s improved infrastructure has made biking more lively. The city completed the construction of 8 bridges and has already put plans forward for the construction of more bridges for both cyclists and pedestrians.
Utrecht has big plans to become the world’s best urban city for biking. Recently, the city has been using ”Utrecht Attractive and Accessible” to encourage cycling activities. Surprisingly, the city boasts Holland’s longest bicycle street extending as far as 6 km.
”Utrecht Attractive and Accessible” is a laudable city development project which holds the largest bicycle parking facility in the world. The city has a massive extension plan to make this facility twice its current size by 2020. Interestingly, the facility currently accommodates a whopping total of 12,500 bikes.
Amsterdam is one of the Dutch cities with an unbending knack for biking. Over 70% of its inhabitants are in possession of one or more bikes.
Of course, Amsterdam is a lovely biking center for cyclists of all kinds. You could see cyclists riding in almost every cranny and nook of the city. According to estimates, about 60% of Amsterdam’s inhabitants ride bikes daily.
Amsterdam is like a single cycling path giving room for riders to travel across almost every length of the city. This is obviously a great thing for any bike-friendly city but the downside is that it forces the government of Amsterdam to invent new urban planning strategies.
Strasbourg is the centerpiece of biking in France. Its immense biking nature has persuaded several other French cities including Nantes, Bordeaux and Paris to adopt its style of urban planning.
Among all other French cities, Strasbourg claims the highest number of people using rental bikes.
Malmo is waxing stronger in the global lineup of bike-friendly cities. With the establishment of Cykelhuset, Malmo is paving the way for more of cycling activities. This idea, of course, is making bicycle the major medium of transportation and saving people the stress of driving their cars at all times. Also, urban cycling in Malmo has witnessed great development particularly with a newly established bicycle ferry linking the city to Copenhagen.
These are some very well-known bike-friendly cities around the world. But there are many more quality cities on the list of bike riders. More than anything else, you need to ensure you choose from the best urban bikes for riding in urban areas. You can also go for one of the seven speed bikes as these bike performs well in city areas. Enjoy visiting cities of your choice on your favorite bikes.


Champlain Canal Lock 11
|Phone Number:||(518) 639-8964|
|How to Lock Through|
Lock C11 on the Champlain Canal is located in the town of Comstock, nine miles north of Lock C9. This scenic lock lowers boats 12 feet, from an elevation of 124 feet to 112 feet above sea level. The lock master can be reached on VHF channel 13 or by phone at (518) 639-8964. Lock C12 (and Lake Champlain) is only 7 miles away.
Lock 11 was built as part of Contract Number 15, which was awarded to the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Company on August 9, 1906. This contract also included other work in the area, such as excavating the canal and protecting its sides, constructing Lock 12, Dam Number 4 and 5, a spillway, a highway, two masonry culverts, five bridges with their piers and abutments and other incidental details between Lake Champlain at Whitehall to just over a half mile north of Comstock, a length of 6.8 miles.
The contractor started operations by building dikes on October 10, 1906. The dredge and large plant were built on the ground, and work started in November, 1906.

For two years in a row, Geolantis is the recipient of Austria’s prestigious eAward for the Smart City and Infrastructure category. This year’s winning project, “Geolantis.360 goes global: From Austria to Zimbabwe”, made from the collaboration of Geolantis GmbH, GIZ (Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) and GISS (General Infrastructure Systems Solutions) made non-revenue water reduction possible, along with the digital documentation of the nation’s access to clean water.
Non-revenue water (NRW = water that’s lost before it reaches the consumers) is one of Zimbabwe’s major national issues. NRW through real (physical leaks) or apparent (metering inaccuracies) losses has heavy repercussions on water quality, water utilities, the consumers and eventually, on Zimbabwe’s economy.
Where water is scarce, like in Zimbabwe, NRW is not a choice. Water is a precious resource, hence the need for ways to minimize, if not eliminate NRW. In this project, the aim is to first expand the NRW knowledge of key people in the country, while the next goal is to reduce non-revenue water by implementing technology to make the NRW loss reduction more sustainable.
Through the funding of the GIZ and the collaborative effort of GISS, training local water authorities in Zimbabwe was made possible. Implementing a work scale that’s easy to follow up and that helps minimize active water losses and collecting relevant information for the Water Work Database, on the other hand, were Geolantis’ main responsibilities.
Active leak detection and data collection process implemented by Geolantis.360 after the standard setup (equipment, GIS, inspections/safety checks, clearance) involved the following steps:
Actual pressure in the pipe network is measured using an electronic gauge. The results are recorded for future analysis. After this, a glass fiber probe equipped with a highly sensitive microphone and 33khz sonde is inserted to detect and locate the smallest leaks along the pipe section. Since the sounds are transmitted from the microphone to an external waterproof Bluetooth speaker, leaks along the network are easily detected. The sonde, on the other hand, enables standard pipe locators to trace the leak’s exact location.
After the leak detection survey, the exact trace of the pipe section is located through a pipe locator and the single points (water meter, pipe trace, pipe depth and T-junction) stored in a GPS handheld device with the necessary software for GIS data collection and mobile network mapping.
Once the pipe survey is accomplished, the installed water meter will be shortly replaced with a demo meter to check for accuracy. This test will determine whether the meter should be reinstalled or replaced.
After the full pipe survey, the operator will compile the data to Database a GIS, network mapping or billing import.
Digitally mapping Zimbabwe’s water infrastructure and creating a way of accurately detecting and locating active leaks became possible through the Geolantis project. And because of this, Zimbabwe now has a sustainable way of preserving its water resource through decreasing non-revenue water all over the country.
While asset loss is costly and dangerous, there are only a handful of companies offering modern utility mapping and locating services that can help prevent these expensive mishaps. Geolantis is one of the few companies all over the world offering utility locating and mapping services, especially for subsurface utilities. Geolantis integrates the process of manually surveying assets and data recording into a reliable, accurate, data-rich, cloud-based digital solution. And because Geolantis streamlines the workflow and significantly reduces errors implicit to traditional/manual methodology, the result is quicker, cost-effective process that helps you generate ROI faster.
With usability and interoperability with future technologies in mind, Geolantis offers data solutions that are not only effective but also sustainable in the long run. In addition to asset mapping and comprehensive, accurate and GIS-ready data collection, Geolantis.360 is also a fully integrated solution for managing a mobile workforce.
Whether you want a reliable utility locating and mapping, accurate data collection, cloud-based asset management or streamlined workflow solutions for your company, Geolantis can help. If you want more information on how Geolantis can help your company, feel free to reach out.


The job of a environmental architect is to work with local and environmental experts design, to plan and construct arenas and sustainable buildings that meet the needs of the environment and society. It’s a intricate undertaking, as the effect of building must be considered, in addition to building price government requirements and local regulations.
In the first case, ERP system will undertake the job of assessing and reviewing existing construction practices and structures so as to understand the resources of energy consumption and the impact that these practices have on the environment. From this point, eco-architects will then have to create a’vision’ for sustainable structure – identifying which components and spaces are efficient and appropriate in fulfilling local conditions. An eco-architect that is effective must have the ability to produce a layout program which takes into account both cost effectiveness and sustainability. A successful eco-architect should be able to implement his vision and subsequently monitor and quantify its effects on both the environment and the community.
There are several associations and organisations in the United Kingdom that are devoted to assisting eco-architects to develop their careers and train, while it is not easy to find eco-architects in practice. Training programs are offered by them . These include both training and online classes. Additionally, there are many organisations and chambers of commerce in the uk, and training that is eco-architect is offered by that.
Even though eco-architects must work closely with local governments and environmental agencies in the UK, the most important responsibility of eco-architects is to make sure that any proposed building complies with local conditions, so that any environmental impact is minimal. This may entail supplying information about the construction, together with advice concerning the design and liaising with the local planning office.
One of the main aims of eco-architects is to ensure that any construction is built towards minimizing the environmental impact on the 27, with an overall view. This means that eco-architects have to be able to produce a balance between the construction as well as the environment. This can be made possible by utilizing sustainable materials wherever possible, as well as ensuring that the building of the building is energy. Eco-architects will ensure that the building is built to sustainability criteria, since it is one of the easiest ways to keep costs down, as the construction is intended to be energy efficient. The use of renewable sources of energy will reduce the quantity of fuel and other resources utilized during construction.
After an eco-architect gets the certificate required for an occupation, he will be able to practise as an independent architect or take on other jobs for eco-architects or consultancy businesses. He will generally start by designing small jobs in his own right, until he builds up sufficient experience to start looking for assignments, working his way. The development of a prosperous eco-architect is just one of the steps towards becoming an architect.

|MORE ROADS THAN EVER BEFORE: Mayor Battle touts incredible success in road projects
City of Huntsville has paved and resurfaced more roads in the past two years than at any point in its history.
HUNTSVILLE, AL (April 6, 2011) - Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, along with Terry Hatfield, the City of Huntsville's Director of Public Works, and numerous employees from that department announced today that over the past two years (since 2009) more roads have been paved and resurfaced in the City of Huntsville than at any point in its history.
Under Mayor Battle's leadership, the City's Department of Public Works has spent nearly $9 million dollars on road resurfacing projects since 2009. 163 roads throughout all areas of the city have been resurfaced during that time.
"We often talk about the role of government and what it should be," said Mayor Tommy Battle. "Our administration has been and continues to be of the belief that government's role should be limited and effective."
Mayor Battle went on to say that the record breaking resurfacing schedule, which occurred in spite of the national economic downturn and recession, was a strong example of an effective government.
"I am proud to say that today; we can give no better example of an effective government than this."
Mayor Battle credited his administration's success in these road projects to several factors.
"This is possible because we've had smart management," added the mayor. "We've been able to break this record with the support of our partners in government - our city council, some federal stimulus money - and most importantly, with the work our department heads and the employees of the Department of Public Works do every day for us. They are the ones who make milestones like this possible."
Mayor Battle closed by thanking the city works directly involved in road resurfacing and the impact they have on our community.
"Our neighborhoods are the lifeblood of our city, and we must invest in them. That is why we are investing in street resurfacing. Projects like these make a positive impact on our city and our quality of life."
EDITOR'S NOTE: The City of Huntsville's animated map of road resurfacing projects over the past two years is available on HuntsvilleAL.gov and the City of Huntsville's YouTube channel at YouTube.com/huntsvillecity or directly at this link.

This category is for road projects for which the Township Council has entered into contract. The selected contractor is now preparing to begin construction. We are very confident that these road projects will be completed this year, but, because unexpected difficulties in construction can occur, we are going to stop just short of promising that to you at this point. The next time we will notify you about road projects in this category will be when the contractor actually begins construction. That usually occurs 1 to 2 months from the point that the contract is awarded.

The Bangkok Cultural Hill is an urban development project within one of the most significant business district in Bangkok; its uniqueness strikes from it prominent point of location that will become an important interchange between two underground transportation lines. The location has a promising potential to become a new Bangkok “Super Station”. This condition present a new challenge in Thailand for it will be the first interchange form the underground MRT system. The design looked carefully in to this challenge and proposed to emphasize on this uniqueness – a gradual continuous out flowing space from the point of transition under the ground level onto the ground and beyond. It interweaves the flow of people and incorporate it with various overlaid places for recreation and sports activities on the building envelope. The project looked into a great consideration to develop a place the suits for complex dimensions of the city, especially in creating a sustainable green park which is integrated into the building area to provide quality urbanscape in promotion to the people’s wellbeing in city life-style. Culturally and socially, the project help support the accessibility to the existing cultural center and provide an addition to house national cultural event/exhibition, such as the late King Rama 9th Art Gallery or Hall of Fame for National Artists, within the outdoor environment to inspire the young generations in being able to understand the original Thai way-of-life. With great concern in sustainability, universal design, urban livelihood and wellbeing, the Bangkok Cultural Hill should become a vitally meaningful addition to the city.
Ratchadapisek road serve as the inner ring road of for Bangkok; it had played an important role in creation and development of financial district for decades even before the establishment of the underground line. When the blue MRT line was built under it, the potential for land pieces within the area kept rising higher and higher.
Projecting into the future, the potential of land pieces in Ratchadapisek area would continue to rise when the orange MRT line (Bangbamru – Bangkapi – Minburi) would be open to public use. The orange line will run across the city center from the East fringe of Bangkok to the West with an intersection to the existing blue line at the Cultural Center Station.
Considering the public transportation network and the overall development conditions in Ratchadapisek area, it is clear that the connection point of the two rail line will become a prominent junction in the East of Bangkok which would greatly impact the land use and development schemes around the area.
The vision to foresee the potential of the site area is crucially necessary to create a befitting respond to the future need within and around the interchange stations. The new “Super Station” would be an interchange of underground railway system unlike the former Siam Square station which is an interchange of the skytrain lines. To plan and design for an underground interchange point which would generate flowing spaces for activities from under the ground, onto the ground and beyond would introduce a new design challenge in Thailand. Bangkok Cultural Hill took a great care to respond to this challenge.
The immense state budget invested into public transportation should be well responded by the investments from the private sector in order to generate worthy benefit for city development and the citizen wellbeing, not only for the corporate financial profits. To respond to the state investment and to support the future development, Laem Thong Sahakarn Group established Bangkok Cultural Hill project proposing for two interconnected dimensions: city dimension and economic investment dimension, and aim for a great positive impact to the urban development.
- City dimension
Complexly, the multi-dimensional aspects of urban conditions helps put together quality space for urban livelihood. The Cultural Hill proposed 7 main aspects of usability.
1.1. Pleasant park for recreation and sports
The overall image of the project dominated by the descending contour of decreasing floor area from the 1st level underground to the 4th floor above ground level which create continuous flow of green area sloping down to form a large hill composed with soil layering, ground cover planting and other overlaying elements in alternative rhythm between trees, walk ways, and resting patios. The proposed park design in careful consideration to create a sustainable environment by incorporating wastewater management system, utilization of clean energy — solar energy and designing for plant selection that has high rate of carbon dioxide absorption. This green architecture would be utilized not only in the interior, the space on the contour of exterior envelop would interweave and become a park for sports and recreation. The development would become an urban park for the residence and people who work within the project area, residence around Ratchada area and even people living further to the East Bangkok who can easily commute to the destination.
1.2. Cultural hill
Although the subjected MRT station was named Cultural Center Station, the actual Thailand’s Cultural Center hide in back block adjacent to Wattanatham road. The Cultural Hill proposes to provide urban space for cultural activities within its area and further to interconnect to the back building blocks allowing better access to Thailand’s Cultural Center.
Aside from being green recreation park on urban hill, the project would generate a wide array of lively cultural activities, from street culture, entertainment arena, recreation area, to food district and etc. Endless possibilities of activities can be integrated to the area as a promise for urban livelihood.
Only by depending solely on the accessibility made possible by railway public transportation, the land development of the area around the interchange station would eventually lead to being a major targeted destination for an enormous crowd. And by being a regular part of city people daily lives, the project provide a suitable location worthy of national cultural event and exhibition such as the late King Rama 9th Art Gallery or Hall of Fame for National Artists.
1.3. Generate urban lifestyle from underground transit
With new rail lines being built, transportation via the MRT is gradually becoming a regular part of life for city people, therefore, the time has come to spend better care in designing quality connection point and underground stations. The Cultural Hill took the opportunity of building right on this crucial interchange and put a great concern into this matter. Sunken court allows the clear vision of traffic flow from the underground station through three access points into the two building towers.
1.4. A prominent shopping district for the metropolitan
The project proposed for 122,095 sq.m. of shopping mall with circulation of 116,500 daily users. (Calculated as 25% by statistic of changes in transportation route of MRT blue line and orange line: average 466,000 persons per day)
1.5. Providing large scale residential units:
1.5.1. Condominium with 796 units (average 60 sq.m./unit) in 86,790 sq.m. building area
1.5.2. Accommodation with 478 keys, yielding the capacity of 1,200 persons/day, in 27,800 sq.m. building area.
1.6. Providing large scale work space and work source
The project proposed for 42,700 sq.m. of office building with capacity to hold 5,600 workers per day.
Estimation of total users 123,500 persons
1.7. Traffic management and transportation
The project proposed for connection point from two MRT lines – blue and orange – along with 2,040 parking spaces (1,734 required by law and regulation, with addition of 306 parking spaces in support to the MRT’s park and ride)
- Economic investment dimension
Other than proposing for the mentioned usability and programs tailored to meet with its unique urban location, the probability of feasible investment study was carried through:
2.1. Estimate cost for investment for the shopping and office building is 6,650 million baht, with average profitable rate at 1,320 million baht/year which yield to estimated profitable return in 8 years.
2.2. Estimate cost for investment for the condominium units is 7,954 million baht.
2.3. Estimate cost for investment for the accommodation and office building is 1,820 million baht, with average profitable rate at 228 million baht/year which yield to estimated profitable return in 8 years.
- Significance in impact for city development
In response to the significant keys of the site location and its meaning in multiple dimensions – mainly city development and economic investment –, Bangkok Cultural Hill should be able to generate urban livelihood for Bangkok, becoming a positive addition to the citizen’s wellbeing. It should be able to stand as a piece of sustainable urban development that people in the city can share with pride.
Internationally, complex and large scale urban development projects has raised the bar for the creation of exciting and vibrantly lively urban districts; multiple city has created quality urbanscape, such as Marina Bay in Singapore and Namba, Roppongi in Japan.

Click here to view a short Powerpoint presentation on the Metal Building Software.
Over 200 metal building manufacturers use the MBS productivity program to design, detail, cost and draw metal buildings.
Think about where the bottleneck is in your office. Most metal building manufacturers would say, "Design and Detailing". Imagine that you could process buildings without any hand or CADD editing. The building data is entered and the output is printed. This is the Power of MBS.
From simple data input screens, the program creates a wide range of customized output. Some examples of the input screens are listed below.
As the data is being entered, the program provides a drawing of the building shape and framing. Building data can be entered in as few as 2 minutes to as many as 20 minutes depending on the building complexity.
Following data entry, the program will use the manufacturers inventory and prepare the complete design, detailing, and bill of materials. Using the manufacturers cost data the program will calculate the cost and selling price of the building. Selling price may include overhead, profit, taxes, commissions, freight, etc.
Next, the program prepares a contract between the manufacturer and the prospective customer. Each manufacturer can customize their reports to meet their unique needs. Several sample reports are listed below.
If this proposal becomes a building order, the program will prepare the shipping list, shop drawings, and erection drawings. Shipping lists can vary in both format and content as set by the manufacturer.
Shop drawings are prepared for rigid frames, endwall frame members, all cold formed members, wind framing, eave extension, canopy and facia beams and all loose connection plates. Shop drawings have menus from which both the content and format of the drawing can be set to the manufacturers unique needs.
The program automatically prepares from 6 to 56 erection drawings for each building. Again, drawing features are selected from a menu.
If necessary, each drawing can be changed by editing the drawing input file. All drawings can be printed or plotted through software provided by MBS. Programs like AutoCAD are not necessary to plot drawings.
The entire process, from building entry to all required output can take place in a matter of minutes.


With successes such as the installation of the famous Christmas tree at Trafalgar Square in London and projects such as the Waterloo Station Super Puma helicopter plant lifts and the bridge installation on the Bedford bypass, it is not surprising that Radius has sought the need for larger premises in Northampton.
The company can fulfill any crane project in the UK, whether it be to supply a tower crane - through its partnership agreement with NFT - or managing and consulting on a variety of projects. Radius has acquired a modern detached warehouse facility on Gladstone Close through Prop-Search. The facility totals just under 39,700 sq ft on a 3.3 acre site and is fitted to a good specification with some 5,000 sq ft of offices, and large self-contained yard area.
Radius has subsequently instructed Prop-Search to list its former premises; Equilibrium House at Mansion Close, on the Moulton Park Industrial Estate. The HQ hybrid business unit comprises 10,000 sq ft and has recently been comprehensively refurbished to include two-storey offices of approaching 4,000 sq ft providing a mix of open plan and cellular accommodation, prestigious reception and well-appointed staff facilities. The detached property occupies a site of approximately half an acre and offers 22 linear car parking spaces.
Prop-Search is seeking to let the facility on the basis of a new lease agreement, with terms to be agreed and is quoting a guide rent of £70,000 per annum exclusive.

The Mountain Province is the most beautiful area I have encountered thus far in the Philippines. I must be missing the mountains back home, but I can't get enough of this majestic splendor.
This is the only road to Bontoc coming in from the South and the best of all the roads that lead to this area. Of course the best of three isn't a large selection. You can see where the road was washed out and more fill brought in to make it passable. This area is very steep and the road quite narrow in much of the journey.
This area requires a retaining wall to hold the fill in place, as does much of the mountain road. Once the fill is put in place by dump trucks and track hoe, the remainder of the work is done by hand. Concrete is mixed by hand for all the retaining walls. They do use cement trucks for the road itself however.
This road was easily navigated in spite of the condition, or so I though.
As we saw it from a different angle, the concrete we just drove over was suspended.
This area was completely blocked off due to the mudslide that occurred here. This road would not have been passable had we tried to travel here with our earlier plans. The Lord is constantly blessing us in ways we don't even realize until after the fact.


CDS is undergoing its second major expansion in less than four years as its order book continues to grow.
Construction work has begun on a new 10,000-square-feet state-of-the-art fabrication facility at our site in Burma Drive, Hull, which will see our operational space increase by another 30 per cent.
It will feature two 10-tonne overhead cranes, office space, toilets, canteen and a new security office giving its 24-hour security team the facilities it requires.
The development comes hot on the heels of the opening of our original factory in 2010.
Danny Laybourne, commercial director at CDS, says the rapid expansion is being fuelled by an increasing work load that has led to the existing workshop running at near capacity.
“We have reached a stage now where we have to be forward thinking with how we work because of the amount of orders that are coming in. This expansion is vital in ensuring we can maintain our future workload and continue to deliver the high level of service we currently do to our customers,” he said.
“To be in a position to expand so dramatically just four years after we opened our original factory is fantastic. It shows the work we are doing here is valued by existing and new clients and the extra operational space will allow us to continue to grow.
“Once complete, the building will complement our existing facilities of four fabrication workshops, five overhead cranes, a cut shed, hydro test shed, stores, 6,000sq ft of office space, mess facilities and two acres of hard standing.”
CDS, which supplies both greenfield and brownfield project services including project management and engineering solutions to the whole energy industry, has worked closely with sub-contractors and construction is set to be completed by the end of September.
The news comes just three months after we announced we had secured a major contract to replace two flare stacks and a bridge on the Tyra East and Tyra West platforms in the Danish sector of the North Sea, work which has created 130 jobs.
Mr Laybourne said: “Creating local jobs for young people looking to take their first steps into the industry is something we are very conscious of. We are using local labor to build the new facility and we will be creating further new jobs for people across the Humber region when it becomes operational.”


what is an alta survey?
The ALTA Survey is a detailed map of the land showing all existing improvements of the property, utilities, and significant visual on-site observations within the insured property.
An ALTA survey is really a combination of many other land surveys including: boundary survey, title survey, as-built survey, and a location survey.
A through title search is completed by a title company which results in a title commitment report being provided to the surveyor by the client.
Then, a Professional Land Surveyor takes that title commitment, performs a field survey to locate the required items and optional Table A items selected by the client, and generates a land survey plat detailing all title and field findings.

The Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Senator, Dr. Olorunnimbe Mamora has ordered the contractor handling the installation of cargo- handling equipment at the Baro River Port in Niger State to immediately mobilize to site and commence work before the end of the year.
The Managing Director handed out the order when he visited the Baro River Port to inspect facilities at the site.
Senator Mamora assured the contractor that the agency would reconstruct the bad portion of the road leading to Baro in a matter of two weeks for easy movement of equipment and personnel to the River Port.
Receiving the Managing Director, Mr. Opeyemi Olabanji of First Index Project and Services Limited who represented the Company handling the installation of the cargo handling equipment, said the recent flood and the bad road leading to Baro was what delayed the timely installation of the cargo handling equipment at the Port.
He assured Senator Mamora of the readiness of the Company once the road is repaired.
The Managing Director also expressed displeasure at the state of some of the facilities at the port namely the administrative block, the water treatment plant, the generator house and security post and called on the contractor that handled the building project to come back and effect necessary repairs.
Senator Mamora also pledged to improve the welfare of the men of the Nigerian Police Force attached to the river port to enhance better performance.
While receiving the traditional head of Baro, Mallam Mohammed Salihu Ndanusa at the port, Senator Mamora thanked the community for their support to the contractors and other stakeholders.
He called for more support from them in securing the port as the community would benefit more when the port becomes operational.
Responding, Mallam Mohammed Salihu Ndanusa thanked the MD for the visit and assured him of their support.

A large-scale IT failure forced London Underground to shut a major commuter line for much of the day yesterday.
The Circle line was entirely closed during the morning rush hour, causing travel havoc for people working across central London and the City, after a computer problem occurred at Aldgate station in east London.
Other sections of the line remained closed for the rest of the day. Part of the Hammersmith & City Line was also suspended, between Moorgate and Barking.
Transport for London, which runs the Underground system, said the problem was linked to a “major computer failure”. A spokesperson was unable to state what technology was affected, or how it was fixed. The problems follow maintenance work over Easter, which was aimed at preparing for longer trains to use the tunnels.
Today, the Circle line continued to be suspended in one direction between Mansion House and Liverpool Street, with minor delays elsewhere due to a signal failure at Aldgate.
The spokesperson insisted today's problem was unrelated. But Howard Collins, London Underground's chief operating officer, told the Evening Standard newspaper yesterday evening that there would be some continued disruption “as works will be required overnight to repair the fault”.
Meanwhile, SAP-based TfL is preparing to sign an extensive range of framework agreements, totalling a potential £70 million and covering IT services. The services will be available to other high-profile local bodies, including the Greater London Authority, all London borough councils and the Metropolitan Police.

Be Part of the Solution to Storm Water Pollution
What is the Problem?
Each time it rains, water washes over our streets, driveways and yards picking up pollutants along the way and flowing into our storm drains. This runoff may contain pollutants such as motor oil, yard clippings, pet waste, litter, lawn chemicals, anti-freeze or other toxins, which can pollute our water supply as well as clog pipes and culverts which can lead to flooding. Known as “Non-Point Source Pollution”, it is the largest threat to our waterways today. Sometimes pollutants are dumped directly into storm drains by neighbors who don’t know any better. Contrary to popular belief, most storm drains are not connected to treatment systems, whatever enters the drains is discharged directly, untreated into local waterways! TO REPORT ILLICIT DISCHARGES TO STORM DRAINAGE'S, CALL 541-327-2768 AND PRESS 0 FOR AN OPERATOR.
How can you help?
The storm drains inlets on your streets are being marked with a colorful marker, like the one displayed, with a pollution prevention message. You can help by using the following tips to prevent pollution.
* Properly dispose of hazardous waste and recycle used motor oil
* Use fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides sparingly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
* Keep yard waste, trash, and dirt off the street and out of the gutters.
* Clean up after your pets
* Wash your car at a car wash facility or park your car in the grass before you wash it.
* Spread the word about protecting our waterways from polluted runoff.
Thank you for your cooperation.


More Airport & Airlines jobs in Andrapradesh - Vijayawada Airport getting ready for int’l flight services
The new terminal building was made of steel and glass structure with state-of-art passenger-friendly facilities such as baggage handling system, arrival baggage claim carousels, central air-conditioning, public address system, fire alarm system, flight information display system, CCTV for surveillance and check-in counters with common use terminal equipment.
However, this new terminal will be for domestic purposes because domestic passenger traffic has been increasing manifold in the last two years. The old terminal will be used for international services as passenger traffic will be very less initially. “The airport runway is being expanded from 2286x45 meters to 3360x45 metres at a cost of Rs 150 crore,” said a senior Airport official, who is supervising the development works.
Bigger aircraft can safely land on the runway after the expansion. Moreover, passenger traffic will increase with the launch of international operations. Many NRIs belonging to capital region and neighbouring districts of West Godavari and Prakasam can use the airport for arrivals and departures.

FIRST NOTICE OF UNAVOIDABLE DELAY
It is with great disappointment that we must advise that due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus that was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and as a result of the more recent emergency order implemented by the Province further restricting construction activities, our project has experienced and will continue to experience an unavoidable delay. We therefore had to postpone our Groundbreaking Ceremony on March 24th, 2020 and any further work on the site.
Your Purchase Agreement and the Tarion Addendum provide a protocol in the event of an unavoidable delay and we direct you to these. We have determined that while we are still in uncertain times, in an ever-changing environment and evolving reality, this pandemic has already and will likely continue to affect construction completion deadlines and the occupancy timing of your new home at Reunion Crossing.
At this stage, we know that we already have or will experience the following delays, which affect the construction and/or delivery of your new home:
March 17th, 2020
Please be advised that as a result of current Public Health recommendations regarding Covid-19, our Groundbreaking Ceremony on Tuesday, March 24th has been postponed until further notice.

AN expanded closed-circuit television (CCTV) system in the city’s streets, a fire safety system for four public markets, and a modern mass transport system for Cagayan de Oro City.
These are some of the ‘big ticket’ projects being prepared by Cagayan de Oro City Hall as ordered by Mayor Rolando ‘Klarex’ Uy for recommendation to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr for national government funding, said City Hall’s chief development planner a day after a joint City Development Council-City Peace Development Security Council (CDC-CPDSC) meeting.
“No confirmation yet on when the President will come to Cagayan de Oro (but that’s the mayor’s verbal instruction),” said acting City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) chief Ramil Balquin.
During the meeting, Balquin said a resolution was also filed supporting the conduct of a feasibility study for an integrated flood control management system in Cagayan de Oro.
The resolution came after Councilor Edgar Cabanlas called on fellow city officials to find ways to seek funding for an effective flood control project in Cagayan de Oro City following days of flooding due to incessant rains in recent days.
“We shouldn’t rely on the Department of Public Works and Highways to complete these projects because they do it on a piecemeal basis and they don’t even coordinate with us,” Cabanlas said.
When asked whether they have a master plan for a flood control management system for the city and if their office is capable of drafting such a plan, City Engineering Office (CEO) chief Engr. Jenito Asequia said it’s beyond their current capacity to do so.
Councilor Ian Mark Nacaya asked the officials in attendance if they are open to the possibility of the city contracting a loan for the project.
Vice Mayor Jocelyn Rodriguez supported the idea but said any flood control project should undergo extensive study by experts before it is considered for funding by external sources.
Asequia said they proposed to Mayor Uy that a water impounding system be implemented as a flood control measure for the city.

Infrastructure is a term that is defined in different ways. The Oxford English Dictionary notes that originally it was meant to describe military roads and structures like bridges. The word was imported from French, where it describes a subgrade, the original material underneath pavement or a railway bed. It comes from a combination of the Latin prefix “infra”, meaning “below” and “structure”.
From the Concise Dictionary of English: The basic facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a community or society, such as transportation and communications systems, water and power lines, and public institutions including schools, post offices, and prisons.


TEC has worked with the City of West Hollywood for a long time helping them to make their buildings more energy efficient. Now, we are proud to announce a new project to help West Hollywood reach their ambitious climate goals.
In WeHo’s Climate Action Plan, they set out to create a more sustainable and equitable West Hollywood by making buildings more efficient and resilient. West Hollywood has selected TEC, along with our partners Arup and Ari Simon, to help them achieve their goals. We will be working with the city and our partners to create a new city ordinance that will require buildings to improve their energy use, engaging the community every step of the way. Together, we will make sure those who are most in need get help improving their building performance.
West Hollywood is blazing a trail that the whole state will soon follow, as Senate Bill 48 will require a similar standard statewide in the future. We are excited to help West Hollywood develop an equitable building performance standard that makes buildings cheaper and healthier places to live, work, and play. To learn more about TEC’s building energy benchmarking work, check out this case study!


Developing markets on the other hand have limited potential for increasing infrastructure spend as they struggle to re-establish pre-COVID investments. Some governments like those of Kenya and the Philippines have already pulled back from major infrastructure spends.
South Africa’s recovery approach borrows from both categories. The Construction COVID-19 Rapid Response Task Team (“CC19RRTT”) is one of the task teams established as a means of assisting government with interventions to prevent a complete collapse of the Construction Industry. Two key interventions they suggested were keeping to previously proposed infrastructure spend and also fast tracking independent public projects which have proven effective in other countries.
Government has had to be circumspect in the manner they approach the current economic crisis as the Construction Industry is not the only affected party. For example, money has been redirected from the education infrastructure grant to schools needing water, sanitation and PPE. The revised budget also shows some R16bn from conditional grants redirected to provide Covid relief. Investment in residential and non-residential buildings has also shown a decrease of just over 10 percent.
It should be noted though that government is also prioritising infrastructure development. It plans to expedite 50 infrastructure projects worth US$20,2 billion (R340bln) as part of its focus on the reconstruction and recovery of the South African economy. The Development Bank of South Africa is funding construction to the tune of US$259 million (R4.5bn) in the Johannesburg and Tshwane metros, the Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma confirms that US$32 million (R554 million) has also been set aside for creating jobs through municipal infrastructure projects. During the Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa (SIDSSA) in June, 276 projects worth a combined value of $150 billion (R2.6 trillion) were identified as being under evaluation by government; implementing even a fraction of these is expected to assist with boosting the industry and the economy.
According to Fitch, South Africa has a strong domestic presence in construction and financing. This private financing is expected to help cushion the construction industry preventing it from collapsing. This outlook provides hope that not all is lost for the industry, and government’s commitment to the sector as an economic recovery vehicle is already a huge step towards its revival.


In a shocking incident that showcases the lurking dangers of modern urban development, a New York City skyscraper crane erupted into flames and partially disintegrated, sparking mayhem on the city streets as debris bombarded nearby buildings and terrified pedestrians scrambled for safety.
NOW – Crane collapses in Hells Kitchen, New York.pic.twitter.com/2ZDwAHpb1e
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) July 26, 2023
The crane, situated at a construction site in the city, caught fire abruptly this morning, culminating in a disastrous collapse into an adjacent structure. The incident led to the injury of five individuals, including a firefighter, affirming that even those trained to deal with such calamities aren’t immune to the unexpected dangers they pose.
This terrifying spectacle unfolded at 570 10th Avenue, near Hudson Yards, and between West 41st and West 42nd Streets. The crane was in operation at an unoccupied building when the cabin area ignited around 7:30 a.m., as per the New York Police Department’s report.
Post ignition, the crane’s upper section disintegrated, smashing into a neighboring building across the street before finally plummeting onto the asphalt below. This sequence of events was corroborated by police reports and video evidence from the scene.
Eyewitness footage captured the ensuing pandemonium, with pedestrians fleeing the disaster zone and motorists honking urgently to warn of the unexpected crisis unfolding overhead.
Tragically, the debris strewn from the crane collapse resulted in injuries to four civilians and one firefighter. Hospital treatment was necessary for at least three of these unfortunate victims. In the face of such destruction, one is forced to question the safety protocols surrounding urban construction practices.


Green infrastructure has been a part of public consciousness for a number of years. Studies have shown urban green spaces can signifcantly contribute to stormwater management and flood prevention, while improving the health of city dwellers and the local environment. However, because green infrastructure is a fairly new consideration for urban development, there is no existing method for strategic placements to maximize their use.
Dr. Anahita Khojandi and her partners, Drs. Xueping Li and Olufemi Omitaomu, plan to remedy this. Khojandi’s Joint Directed Research Development (JDRD) project is focused on creating a multi-method framework to aid mid-size cities in considering the possible impacts of climate change extremes on infrastructure.
“So if Knoxville wanted to build a park, where’s the best place to put it, not only for today but where it will be the most beneficial to future generations? It’s a very hard problem to solve,” said Khojandi.
Khojandi’s JDRD team is currently working on formulating a method for deciding where and how to incorporate green infrastructure into urban development in the most effective way possible. Green infrastructure is often defined as a network designed to solve urban and climate challenges via building with nature and can include parks, urban forests and green roofs to name a few.
Parks and urban forests aid in controlling rainfall runoff by absorbing more water directly into the ground. Green roofs have the potential to conserve a building’s energy, and when partnered with solar panels, they can simultaneously improve the efficiency of the panels to generate additional energy. While each of these components has notable benefits, mid-size cities have struggled historically with deciding where to locate them.
“What we’ve found is these cities and counties don’t have principal approaches to identify where these things should go,” said Dr. Omitaomu from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). “They see open land that is getting flooded and decide to put some green infrastructure there, but they don’t look at the implication of that decision. What does it mean five to ten years down the road for the community?”
Working in conjunction with ORNL’s recently formed Urban Dynamics Institute, Khojandi, Li and Omitaomu have presented some of their work to Knoxville city planners, which will be used to inform local urban development. They also hope the results of their research can be used to inform policies regarding urban development, encouraging better, more proactive planning.
Khojandi’s JDRD project partially supports three graduate students who also receive mentorship from Li and Omitaomu. Additionally, Khojandi’s team has begun a collaboration with Dr. Jon Hathaway of the department of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Tennessee. This new collaboration has already resulted in a proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF).


The Dayton Superior Bar Lock® Coupler System provides a simple, quick, cost effective method for splicing deformed rebar in tension and/or compression applications. Bar Lock couplers are effective when used as a "positional" coupler when the rebar is fixed in place or when the rebar is free to rotate.
Bar Swage Mechanical Rebar Splice . The Preshcon Bar Swage Mechanical Rebar Splice is for the most part a repair coupler although its uses are many and varied, it is generally incorporated into a construction project when an unexpected complication arises which requires a rebar repair solution.
DTR Rebar Splicing System Technical Background It's a big improvement when mechanical splicing like taper threaded rebar splicing replaced the traditional lap splicing. Since then, due to the shortcoming of the taper thread, a lot of parallel thread systems have been
With Reinforcement Bar Couplers, structural integrity is maintained even with the loss of the concrete cover because mechanical couplers perform similar to a continuous piece of rebar. Conclusion As a result of changing concepts, ideas, and philosophies, a wide variety of rebar splicing methods has been developed, some better than others.
Mechanical vs. lap splicing BY M.K. HURD Lapping of reinforcing bars has long been considered an effective, economical splicing method, but today's more demanding concrete designs are forcing builders to consider alternatives A sea of #18 rebar fills the base slab of this lock and dam being constructed near
reinforcement splices. Of the three, lap splicing is the most common and usually the least expensive. Couplers especially threaded one can simplify the design and construction of reinforced concrete and reduce the amount of reinforcement required. The coupler system is designed to connect two pieces of rebar together in the
As we know, different countries have their own way to measure and record the reinforcing bar.To meet the needs of our customers, we display some rebar sizes charts so that it is easy to choose the most suitable rebar you wanted.

While lapping can only be carried out in lap zones, it is possible to use couplers outside of lap zones. This also provides the added advantage of using standardized lengths. A 12m rebar can be divided into 3m or 4m as bars as required which also prevents the wastage of end pieces of steel which are not used in lapping.
A lap splice is formed by lapping one bar, this lap splice distance, over the next bar. Through the bond of the concrete, the forces to be transmitted is transfer ed from one bar to the next. The rebar splice coupler or mechanical splice uses a device to join bars together end on end.
Results of the study reveal that the use of rebar couplers in place of lapping is considerably cost effective for larger diameter bars such as 32 or 40 mm bars. Other than the cost, the other ...
In coastal regions, rebar corrosion can produce concrete delamination and spalling. Since lap splices transfer load through the surrounding concrete, when the concrete is gone, the lap splice in effect has failed. Mechanical splices do not rely on the concrete for load transfer and therefore maintain the structural integrity.
cations for tension lap splices result in long lap splice lengths, especially for bar sizes such as #9, #l0, and #ll in Grade 60 steel or in epoxy-coated reinforcing bars. Lap splices may thus be less practical than mechanical connections. 4. Where "tension tie members" are used. Tension lap splices of reinforcing bars in tie members are not
The tolerances on rebar position, as defined by ACI 117, "Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials," are shown in the table. Remember what this means: a tolerance, according to ACI 117, is the permitted variation from a given dimension—in other words, how far off the rebar actually is from what's shown in the drawings.
Laps, joints and splices should be placed as indicated on the drawings. As a general rule the lap length should not be less than 45 times the diameter of the smaller bar at the splice or lap. The lap positions should only be moved when the casting sizes are such that the contractor makes a specific request to do so.
Rebar splicing specifications, although regulated by the Building Code of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318), are site specific and determined by the Engineer of Record on the project. Splicing specifications will never be less than what is required by the ACI, but may call for a longer length or specific mechanical splice device.
The lap splice, as the name suggests, is created by overlapping two lengths of rebar, then wiring them together. From a structural point of view, the most critical aspect of a lap splice is the overlap length. Note, however, that overlap requirements vary with both rebar size and the specific structural application. Rebar Lap Splice Model Codes
By the way, if you are unfamiliar with joint lapping, you should know that it is the process of connecting materials such as plastic, wood, or metal. Technically, the two ends will be placed on each other, and they will be connected by gluing or welding. On the other hand, using reinforcement couplers will allow you to perform mechanical ...
Moment® JoinTec coupler also reduces potential design errors while eliminating wastage and unnecessary rebar cost up to 40%. Apart from that, it also greatly reduces congestions thus maintaining healthy balanced steel to concrete ratio. This is nearly impossible with lap splicing because of the additional rebar in the lap zone.
Bar-us SimGrip® System parallel threaded mechanical coupler is a steel sleeve which is internally threaded. To better suit the couplers, the deformed high-yield carbon reinforcing bar ends are ...
(it is hard to construct with rebar welding splicing and mechanical rebar splicing when the rebar size is under 14mm. also, the cost of lap splice is much lower than mechanical rebar splice and welding splice when the rebar size is under 14mm.) We can't use lap splicing when the rebar size is over 25mm.
Cast-In-Place >> Mechanical splicing solutions allowing fast, high-performance and reliable rebar connections thanks to their parallel-thread system. Prior preparation of the rebar is done thanks to a highly productive Dextra equipment or directly by sourcing prepared rebar from one of our distributors.
Reinforcing bar coupler suggests planning and designing reinforced concrete to lessen the amount of reinforcement needed. There is a series of bar couplers are available including parallel threaded, mechanically bolted, tapered threaded and grouted couplers. Couplers for cryogenic-grade rebar and stainless steel also part of the series.
