108” Northwest Transmission Waterline, Smith Road to Bellow Falls
City of Houston, Houston, TX
This project is part of the Northeast Transmission Waterline, a multi-year project designed to carry treated surface water produced by the planned expansion of the City of Houston’s Northeast Water Purification Plant. This project consists of approximately 10,000 LF of 108” water transmission line along multiple City of Houston easements from Bellow Falls to Smith Road. One of the main challenges encountered in this project includes the constructability issues in placing the proposed 108” line in close proximity to an existing 84” parallel line. A+ Services is providing engineering support to the lead design firm on the analysis of the maximum allowable load on the existing 84” line and minimum separation distances between the two lines. A+ Services is also designing the interconnect details to the existing 84” line. Other engineering services provided include a review and analysis of the project’s geotechnical report, constructability reviews on project submittals, a review of the project’s design details, and coordination with vendors on pricing for major items.
108” Waterline, UPRR to John Ralston—City of Houston, Houston, TX
Aurora Technical Services was selected by the City of Houston as the prime to design almost 8,000 LF of 108” water transmission line. The waterline has numerous challenges that include; installation of the new line adjacent to an existing 84” waterline (that cannot be taken out of service), several tunnels requiring close attention to the potential impact to railroad operations and the BW 8 main lanes. Furthermore, this project will involve a number of critical crossings of roadways and petroleum/gas pipelines. The estimated construction cost for the project is between $22M and $28M. The ongoing design includes coordination with HCFCD, TxDOT, Harris County and HCTRA, as well as several Municipal Utility Districts.
Integrated Pipeline Program—Tarrant Regional Water District, Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
The Integrated Pipeline (IPL) Program consists of more than 150 miles of raw water pipeline to connect several North Texas reservoirs in the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) and Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) systems. The program represents a large-scale collaboration between the two agencies in an effort to realize significant long-term construction and operational savings for constituents.
Mr. Ortega’s team was selected as pipeline design engineer for Section 15-1 of the greater program, which included more than 15 miles of 108” diameter raw water pipeline. The team provided preliminary design, final design, and construction phase services for the project, which was the first component of the overall IPL program that went to construction. Design included consideration for both steel and concrete pipe (competitively bid) and both flowable fill and traditional granular bedding as part of efforts to promote competition and maximize value. On completion of design, a bid was accepted and awarded for roughly $93 million dollars, which was more than $30 million below the original construction budget.
Surface Water Transmission Program (SWTP)—City of Houston, TX
Mr. Ortega’s primary role during the past 20 years has been the management of the City of Houston’s $500+ million SWTP CIP. In this role, was personally responsible for the design oversight of more than 160 miles of large diameter transmission mains. As Program Manager, Mr. Ortega was directly responsible for meeting all construction budgets and schedules. One of Mr. Ortega’s primary focuses on the SWTP was design quality. This effort involved the coordination of a project, optimal phasing of improvements, addressing environmental aspects, traffic control minimization efforts, value engineering and constructability reviews, and incorporation of construction “lessons learned” into new projects. Part of his responsibilities were directly supporting the City’s Water Engineering staff. In this capacity, he assisted the City in developing its water-related specifications, including pipe material, commercial meters, air release valves, pressure reducing valves, and gate and butterfly valves. Additionally, Mr. Ortega authored the City’s cured-in-place and HDPE specifications for water lines and well collection lines rehabilitation. His support activities included assistance to operation and maintenance personnel.
Mr. Ortega’s experience included being the engineer of record for several major water line projects (ranging from 20” to 120” diameter), pump station and force main adjustment analysis and design. This work included route evaluation, traffic analysis, assignment and coordination of support services (geotechnical and surveying), detail design, as well as constructability reviews. Additionally, as SWTP Program Manager, Mr. Ortega was directly involved with reviewing and supporting Pearland’s 42” connection along Monroe to the City of Houston’s SEWTL along Fuqua—a 72” steel water line. His role included assisting in the siting of the metering station, determining the recommended valve configuration to maximize operational considerations, and performing construction cost allocation support for the connection.
Accelerated Surface Water Transmission Program (ASWTP)—City of Houston, TX
As part of the City of Houston’s efforts to meet the growing water demands in the Northwest sector of the City, Houston embarked on an aggressive $150 million program to design and construct more than 40 miles of 84” and smaller transmission mains that included modifications to three high-capacity pump stations. As the Project Manager for the entire program, Mr. Ortega oversaw the program management efforts involving 24 design firms and more than 50 support and specialty consultants. In this role he was responsible for all technical issues associated with the Program, including determination of pipe materials, environmental issues, identifying methods of construction, and establishing the program specifications and details. To meet the three-year schedule requirements, Mr. Ortega oversaw the project controls effort and constructability reviews. Of particular challenge to the Program was the acquisition of almost 150 parcels, residential, commercial and industrial properties. To meet the budget and schedule constraints, Mr. Ortega obtained approval from TxDOT, Harris County Flood Control District, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the installation of more than eight different pipeline aerial crossings of highways and streams.

Modified Mercalli Intensity scale
The lower degrees of the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale generally deal with the manner in which the earthquake is felt by people. The higher numbers of the scale are based on observed structural damage.
The small table is a rough guide to the degrees of the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. The colors and descriptive names shown here differ from those used on certain shake maps in other articles.
The large table gives Modified Mercalli scale intensities that are typically observed at locations near the epicenter of the earthquake.
The correlation between magnitude and intensity is far from total, depending upon several factors including depth of the earthquake, terrain, and population density. For example, on 19 May 2011 an earthquake of magnitude 0.7 in Southern California, USA 4 km deep was classified as of intensity III by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), while a 4.5 magnitude quake in Salta, Argentina 164 km deep was of intensity I.
|Moment Magnitude||Typical Maximum
Modified Mercalli Intensity
|1.0 – 3.0||I|
|3.0 – 3.9||II – III|
|4.0 – 4.9||IV – V|
|5.0 – 5.9||VI – VII|
|6.0 – 6.9||VII – IX|
|7.0+||VIII or higher|
|I. Instrumental||Generally not felt by people unless in favorable conditions.|
|II. Weak||Felt only by a few people at best, especially on the upper floors of buildings. Delicately suspended objects may swing.|
|III. Slight||Felt quite noticeably by people indoors, especially on the upper floors of buildings. Many do not recognize it as an earthquake. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Vibration similar to the passing of a truck. Duration estimated.|
|IV. Moderate||Felt indoors by many people, outdoors by few people during the day. At night, some awaken. Dishes, windows, doors disturbed; walls make cracking sound. Sensation like heavy truck striking building. Standing motor cars rock noticeably. Dishes and windows rattle alarmingly.|
|V. Rather Strong||Felt outside by most, may not be felt by some outside in non-favorable conditions. Dishes and windows may break and large bells will ring. Vibrations like large train passing close to house.|
|VI. Strong||Felt by all; many frightened and run outdoors, walk unsteadily. Windows, dishes, glassware broken; books fall off shelves; some heavy furniture moved or overturned; a few instances of fallen plaster. Damage slight.|
|VII. Very Strong||Difficult to stand; furniture broken; damage negligible in building of good design and construction; slight to moderate in well-built ordinary structures; considerable damage in poorly built or badly designed structures; some chimneys broken. Noticed by people driving motor cars.|
|VIII. Destructive||Damage slight in specially designed structures; considerable in ordinary substantial buildings with partial collapse. Damage great in poorly built structures. Fall of chimneys, factory stacks, columns, monuments, walls. Heavy furniture moved.|
|IX. Violent||General panic; damage considerable in specially designed structures, well designed frame structures thrown out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings, with partial collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations.|
|X. Intense||Some well built wooden structures destroyed; most masonry and frame structures destroyed with foundation. Rails bent.|
|XI. Extreme||Few, if any masonry structures remain standing. Bridges destroyed. Rails bent greatly.|
|XII. Cataclysmic||Total destruction – Everything is destroyed. Lines of sight and level distorted. Objects thrown into the air. The ground moves in waves or ripples. Large amounts of rock move position. Landscape altered, or leveled by several meters. In some cases, even the routes of rivers are changed.|
Correlation with physical quantities
The Mercalli scale is not defined in terms of more rigorous, objectively quantifiable measurements such as shake amplitude, shake frequency, peak velocity, or peak acceleration. Human perceived shakings and building damages are best correlated with peak acceleration for lower-intensity events, and with peak velocity for higher-intensity events.
Comparison to the moment magnitude scale
The effects of any one earthquake can vary greatly from place to place, so there may be many Mercalli intensity values measured for the same earthquake. These values can be best displayed using a contoured map. Each earthquake, on the other hand, has only one magnitude.

– Maximum stacking: 05 boxes.
After opening the package, it is recommended to use the product within 30 days, keeping the package sealed after the use.
indication of use
– Massa DunDun is indicated for the construction of sealing masonry walls, being able to be used internally and externally.
– Massa DunDun is indicated to carry out the Pillar X Masonry connection.
The use of Massa DunDun in block and brick laying does not replace the structure of the building.
Massa DunDun is not indicated for use in structural masonry.
Massa DunDun is not indicated for filling joints of more than 3 mm or for the realization of the wedging.
blocks and bricks
We recommend the use of Massa DunDun with blocks and bricks that meet the requirements of Technical Standard or that present a dimensional standardization, with tolerance equal to or less than 3mm.
Use indicated in:
Cellular concrete blocks;
Ceramic blocks (solid, structural, sealing, 6 holes, etc.).
– Do not apply Massa DunDun on blocks or bricks saturated with water;
– The surface of the blocks must be clean, free of dust, grit or grease.
Application of the product in moistened blocks will delay the cure of the product. Do not carry out the elevation of the masonry under the incidence of rain or very strong winds.
The base on which the masonry will be erected must be leveled and aligned. It is recommended to lay the first layer with traditional mortar to correct unevenness at the base.
The application should be carried out on two Massa DunDun cords with a diameter of about 1cm on the horizontal laying surface, in a continuous application. The quality of the blocks and bricks used, as well as the follow-up of the application manual on the construction site, directly influence the consumption of material per m².
Bricks or Hole Blocks Horizontal and vertical and solid blocks
|Block Height (cm)
|Consumption without Anchorage
|Consumption with Anchorage
The performance of masonry laying with Massa DunDun is tested and approved in accordance with ABNT NBR 15.575 – Housing Buildings – Performance. This system has the following characteristics:
– Unfilled Vertical Joints, spacing between 1 to 3 mm from one block to another
– Horizontal Joints seated with Massa DunDun, with average spacing between 1 to 3mm.
level and alignment
– In the case of difficulties in leveling and aligning, during the execution of the masonry it is accepted the use of support wedges for adjustments smaller or equal to 3mm;
– Alignment and level adjustments are not acceptable after 10 minutes of laying. If this adjustment is necessary, it is recommended to remove, clean and lay the blocks again with the necessary corrections.
– For level and alignment corrections of more than 4mm, it is recommended to lay a layer with conventional mortar to make the necessary adjustments.
contact with structure/anchorage
– In the case of vertical hole blocks, apply two cords of Massa DunDun on the vertical face of the block that will anchor the structure, and when laying it, you must press the block against the pillar. The maximum resulting distance in this joint should not exceed 3mm, under the risk of loss of adhesion in the area;
– In the case of horizontal hole bricks it is recommended to properly cut and use the blocks so that the holes are vertical. In this case, proceed as in the previous item;
It is accepted that in the case of horizontal hole blocks Massa DunDun is applied at the end to be adhered to the structure provided that these blocks comply with the current technical standards.
– Carry out the first layer with conventional mortar to adjust alignment and level of masonry.
– Do not use conventional mortar in the vertical joint (between the blocks), respecting the maximum spacing of 3mm between blocks.
Massa DunDun 3kg: Carefully open it at the indicated location using scissors or a knife and the material is ready to be applied.
Massa DunDun 1.5kg sachet: Open the package 1cm below the seal so that it does not restrict the flow through the opening. Insert the sachet into the applicator gun tube, lock the nozzle with quick release and the material is ready to be applied. This packaging must be used with the applicator gun supplied by the FCC Group.
Massa DunDun 10kg: Open the packaging at one end, transfer the contents into the DunDun canvas tube and the material is ready to be applied.
The application should be carried out in two Massa DunDun cords with a diameter of about 1cm on the horizontal laying surface, in a continuous application. First, carry out the anchoring procedures, then lay the rest of the layer.
Wash the applicator gun or the canvas tube every time they are not used for periods longer than 15 minutes. Product washable with water while in fresh state.
The fixing or wedging of the wall to the slab or upper beam must be made according to standards and good market practices. Use, for example, wedging mortar.
The height of masonry to be lifted in a single day will depend on the type and quality of the block used and should be evaluated by the responsible professional. When there is evidence of rain or strong winds for the next 8 hours, a moderate height is recommended to prevent the masonry from dishevel or misalign.
– Massa DunDun presents initial hold from 15 minutes, but it presents a dry aspect between 6 and 12 hours. The total cure occurs after 72 hours from the moment of application in dry and hot climates. However this timing can vary according to the atmospheric conditions, the contact with water while in the fresh state and the conditions of humidity and absorption of the blocks used.
– The product presents resistance to bad weather after 8 hours of application. In case of exposure to rain and intense winds before complete curing of the material, it is recommended to use struts and/or other safety devices to prevent misalignment or masonry dropping.
• The execution of the masonry built with Massa DunDun must comply with industry standards and civil engineering-oriented fundamentals. The tolerance range for certain constructive failures, such as those resulting in significant deformation of the structure, may be reduced with the use of thin joints, such as the Massa DunDun.
• In order to achieve the desired results and avoid serious accidents, it is necessary to follow these operating instructions correctly.

Equipments for sharing liquids Plumbing is any kind of system that shares fluids for a variety of applications. Pipes utilizes pipelines, shutoffs, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other devices to share liquids. Cooling and heating (HVAC), waste elimination, as well as potable water distribution are amongst the most common uses for pipes, however it is not limited to these applications.
In the developed world, pipes infrastructure is vital to public health and wellness and sanitation. Boilermakers and pipefitters are not plumbing professionals although they function with piping as part of their trade as well as their job can include some plumbing. Plumbing come from throughout ancient people, as they created public baths and required to provide drinkable water as well as wastewater removal for bigger numbers of people.
The city of Uruk consists of the oldest known instances of brick constructed Latrines, created atop adjoining discharged clay sewer pipelines, c. 3200 BCE. Clay pipelines were later on made use of in the Hittite city of Hattusa. They had quickly detachable and exchangeable segments, and also enabled cleansing. Standardized earthen plumbing pipelines with broad flanges utilizing asphalt for preventing leaks appeared in the metropolitan settlements of the Indus Valley Human Being by 2700 BC.
The 10-Minute Rule for Next Level Plumbing Repair
Words "plumbing professional" days from the Roman Empire. The Latin for lead is. Roman roofing systems utilized lead in channels and also drain pipelines and also some were additionally covered with lead. Lead was also made use of for piping and for making bathrooms. Plumbing reached its very early apex in ancient Rome, which saw the introduction of expansive systems of aqueducts, floor tile wastewater elimination, and widespread use lead pipelines - next level plumbing repair.
With the Autumn of Rome both water and also sanitation stagnatedor regressedfor well over 1,000 years. Renovation was extremely slow-moving, with little effective progress made up until the development of modern-day largely populated cities in the 1800s. Throughout this period, public health and wellness authorities began pressing for much better garbage disposal systems to be installed, to avoid or control find out here now upsurges of illness.
Eventually the growth of different, underground water and also sewer systems got rid of open sewer ditches and also cesspools. Most large cities today pipeline strong wastes to sewage therapy plants in order to divide and partly detoxify the water, prior to clearing right into streams or various other bodies of water. For potable water use, galvanized iron piping was widespread in the United States from the late 1800s till around 1960.
Using lead for safe and clean water declined greatly after The second world war since of boosted awareness of the dangers of lead poisoning. Currently, copper piping was introduced as a better and also more secure alternative to lead pipes. Copper piping system in a building The major categories of pipes systems or subsystems are: A water pipe is a pipe or tube, frequently made from plastic or metal, that brings pressurized as well as treated fresh water to a building (as component of a community water system), as well as inside the building.
Such use was so common that the word "pipes" derives from plumbum, the Latin word for lead. This gave lead-related health issue in the years before the carcinogen of ingesting lead were totally comprehended; amongst these were stillbirths as well as high rates of infant mortality - master plumber. Lead water pipes were still widely made use of in the very early 20th century and click this remain in numerous houses.
Some Of Water Heater Replacement
Despite the Romans' typical usage of lead pipelines, their aqueducts hardly ever poisoned people. Unlike other components of the world where lead pipelines create poisoning, the Roman water had so much calcium in it that a layer of plaque prevented the water contacting the lead itself. What often creates complication is the huge quantity of evidence of prevalent lead poisoning, specifically amongst those that would have had very easy access to piped water, an unfortunate outcome of lead being used in pots and pans and as an additive to refined food and also drink (as an example as a preservative in white wine).
Wood pipelines were made use of in London as well as somewhere else during the 16th as well as 17th centuries. The pipelines were hollowed-out logs which were tapered at the end with a tiny hole in which the water would go through. The several pipes were then secured with each other with warm pet fat (emergency plumber). Wood pipelines were made use of in Philadelphia, Boston, and Montreal in the 1800s.
These pipes (utilized in area of corrugated iron or reinforced concrete pipes) were made of sections reduced from brief lengths of wood. Locking of adjacent rings with wood dowel pins created an adaptable structure. Regarding 100,000 feet of these wooden pipelines were installed during WW2 in drain culverts, storm sewage systems and conduits, under freeways as well as at military camps, naval terminals, airfields as well as ordnance plants.
Bronze installations and also brief pipe sectors are generally utilized in mix with various products. Typical PVC local water main being installed in Ontario, Canada A plastic water pipeline being set up. Keep in mind that the inner tube is really delivering the water, while the outer tube only functions as a safety casing The distinction in between pipes as well as tubes is an issue of sizing.
Copper tube, CPVC, PeX as well as other tubes is measured nominally, essentially an ordinary size. These sizing schemes permit global adjustment of transitional fittings. For example, 1/2" PeX tubing is the very same size ben franklin plumbing as 1/2" copper tubes. 1/2" PVC on the other hand is not the very same size as 1/2" tubing, and for that reason calls for either a threaded man or female adapter to connect them.

- Construction of new rooms / buildings (21 villages), Bangalore North Taluk, Bangalore district
- Borewells etc. for drinking water in 28 villages, Bangalore North Taluk, Bangalore district
- Construction of school buildings (50 villages), Bangalore North Taluk, Bangalore district
Rural development implies both the economic betterment of people as well as greater social transformation. In order to provide the rural people with better prospects for economic development, increased participation of people in the rural development programmes, decentralization of planning, better enforcement of land reforms and greater access to credit are needed. This section provides complete information on initiatives taken by the government for bridging the urban-rural divide by upgrading the standard of living of people in rural areas. Information about programmes, schemes, employment opportunities, Panchayati Raj institutions, development authorities, drinking water, sanitation, road construction, electrification of villages and food supply etc. is provided.
Six Institutions at Village Nalwa, Haryana and donated to Government
The Foundation has constructed six institutions comprising of a College, ITI, High School, Primary School, Civil Hospital and Veterinary Hospital for the needy and deprived. The infrastructure of these institutes was constructed and handed over to the Govt. for efficient functioning.


Fionia is an apartment complex in Islands Brygge in Copenhagen, which like Kajkanten is part of the urban development around Havnestaden. The building’s point of departure is the creation of new, interactive opportunities in the area, where the city, the water, and the park meet. The apartment complex is designed with its own particular identity, which helps set the architectural frame for the area’s future developments. Meanwhile, it was important to create a building which is cohesive with the area in its architectural design. For this reason, the building has mansard rooves and is made of grey brick.
The floor plans of the apartments maintain the qualities of classic Copenhagen apartments. Fionia is a rethinking of this type of planning as the apartments are designed with set bathrooms, technical rooms, and stairwells to optimize flexibility. The bathroom functions as the core in the center of the apartment and the surrounding rooms can be placed in a more or less open progression of rooms. Ideally, walls are installed by the individual residents, according to their needs and, as such, the basic design can be adapted to different target audiences with different needs.

Austin Transportation Department presented their Urban Rail Alternatives Evaluation to the Austin City Council. This is the first phase of an ongoing planning effort to explore Austin's options for a rail system serving key urban destinations and adding connections to the regional transit and mobility network.
The evaluation looks at:
- Need and Purpose
- Transit Options (bus, rapid bus, and rail)
- Return on Investment
- Preferred Alternative
- Other Implementation Issues
The purpose of a new transit investment is to improve mobility, connectivity, and the sustainability of Central Austin.
New higher‐capacity transit service can offer a safe, reliable, and efficient alternative to existing traffic congestion; to relieve roadways with little room for expansion. By connecting Downtown, the Capitol Complex, and the University of Texas to each other via the emerging regional rail network, new added transit can improve mobility and help manage Austin's inevitable growth.
The Need for a Transit Investment
Austin is at the heart of the rapidly growing Central Texas Region. Central Austin’s existing transportation network is at capacity during peak hours and there are few opportunities to expand roadways, yet Austin’s continued social, environmental, and economic vitality depend on mobility. Doing nothing threatens our quality of life.
Ann Richards - Growth is an Expensive Proposition
The Purpose for a Transit Investment
- Improve connections between key existing and emerging destinations
- Improve the regional transportation network by providing connections among transit modes
- Increase the person‐moving capacity of the transportation network with a new higher‐capacity option.
- Provide benefits to the community by supporting sustainable land use planning, adding public amenities, and improving access to destinations.
- Invest in transit improvements with the greatest benefits to the built and natural environments
- Invest in transit improvements that support existing economies, catalyze economic growth, and provide economic benefits for users
Making Transportation Smarter – Introduction
Expanded 'urban rail' would run through downtown on both sides of Capitol
Route across the river not yet determined in revised plan being presented to City Council.
By Ben Wear
Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2010
Downtown Austin would have two north-south passenger rail corridors, a more expansive network than previously envisioned, under a recommendation that City of Austin staff will present today to the Austin City Council.
The proposed rail system — which would be in addition to Capital Metro's commuter rail line scheduled to open next month — would link the Mueller development in East Austin to the University of Texas to downtown to the airport.
One route would run north on Lavaca Street and south on Guadalupe Street and another north and south along Congress Avenue and San Jacinto Boulevard. The two corridors would be linked at Fourth, 17th and 18th streets.
A single rail line would cross Lady Bird Lake between South First Street and a point several blocks east of Congress Avenue, but the city is not ready to recommend a specific crossing route.
The rail plan includes about 40 more blocks of streetcar or light rail tracks than versions of the plan circulated over the past several years — including a line on San Antonio Street west of the UT campus.
A related bond issue could go to voters as early as November, but city Transportation Director Robert Spillar said a new — and likely much higher — cost estimate is not yet ready.
Spillar said the city wants to avoid downtown rail gridlock of the sort Dallas is now experiencing, with several rail routes converging on a single line. Spillar said it is easy to envision a future rail system with legs going north on North Lamar Boulevard, northeast toward Hancock Center, south on South Congress Avenue and southwest along South Lamar Boulevard, each with several trains an hour arriving in the central business district.
"That was the real ah-ha moment we had," Spillar said. "We need to make sure we have the capacity downtown to handle all of a future system."
Where is Urban Rail Going?
10 Reasons to Love a Streetcar
The 'streetcar effect' – offering Austinites far more than a free ride
BY KATHERINE GREGOR
JULY 20, 2007
1 Streetcar systems shape a city – positively.
2 Streetcars are tools that promote compact, walkable, people-friendly places.
3 People like to ride streetcars.
4 A streetcar entices people to ride regional rail.
5 Streetcars are green transportation.
6 Streetcars attract tourists, conventioneers, and visiting grandchildren as fun "transportainment."
7 Where streetcars go, private development follows.
8 By generating new value and revenues, a streetcar system can pay for itself.
9 Streetcars are much less expensive than light-rail.
10 Streetcars can be historic and charming – or sleek and modern.
The article provides much more detail and description of each “reason” listed.
Just the Facts Mam
Defintion of "Better Bus":
"Better Bus technology offers enhanced convenience to passengers by incorporating a variety of features distinguishing it from conventional bus, including, for example, employment of intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies and other priority measures to minimize travel delay, use of special stops or stations to distinguish the service and add visibility (prominence) to the route, and the use of special, distinctive vehicles, possibly with added passenger amenities.
Better Bus vehicles may be technologically advanced buses using a traffic signal priority (TSP) system to move with less delay through traffic. This modal alternative would also employ other ITS technologies, such as off‐board fare collection, also known as 'honor system', and would stop curbside approximately every three blocks. The Better Bus alternative may use rapid loading features incorporated into the vehicle design. Unlike Urban Rail, Better Bus does not include a dedicated right‐of‐way, though like Urban Rail it could include a transit‐only lane for portions of the alignment.
Because this alternative still uses the bus as the basic mode of transportation, improving the level of service by the introduction of new operating scenarios and/or enhancement technologies, this alternative is considered the FTA Transportation Systems Management (TSM) alternative. Under FTA's New Starts program, a TSM alternative is used for a baseline for comparison against the proposed guideway alternative at the preliminary engineering phase. The TSM alternative is characterized as the
"best that can be done" to improve transit service in the corridor via operational modifications and lower‐cost capital improvements, without constructing a new transit guideway.
The Urban Rail Alternative:
Urban Rail is the City of Austin’s term for an overhead‐electric‐ powered fixed‐guideway service that blends the technological and operational characteristics of modern streetcar and light rail transit (LRT). Urban Rail can operate in both mixed‐traffic and within a dedicated right‐of‐way. When operating in a mixed‐flow environment, Urban Rail vehicles typically operate at speeds comparable to surrounding traffic. However, within a dense urban environment and when provided with dedicated right‐of‐way, Urban Rail vehicles can provide operational characteristics comparable to that of light rail. Urban Rail vehicles range from the “modern streetcar” currently used in Seattle, Portland, and Tacoma (approximately 66 feet long with a total passenger capacity up to 120, with a top speed of approximately 45 miles per hour) to new cross‐over vehicles such as the S70 Ultra Short proposed for use in Salt Lake City.
that is approximately 79 feet long with a total passenger capacity of 160 and a top speed approaching 60 miles per hour. Urban Rail vehicles can be designed to operate in multi‐vehicle trains, if needed. In addition, alternative power modes such as batteries are under development by some manufacturers and warrant further investigation as an alternative to a system powered completely by overhead electric wires.
The Urban Rail alternative is proposed to include both exclusive right‐of‐way and mixed flow operations. Urban Rail vehicles would operate in mixed traffic (with automobiles) in more congested urban areas such as downtown where extra ROW for independent guide way is scarce. In the Riverside Corridor, where street rights‐of‐way are typically wider, there is generally sufficient room to create a semi‐exclusive or dedicated right‐of‐way by widening the overall street to the outside to provide replacement
auto capacity for those lanes converted for transit use.
The Urban Rail alternative generally consists of two sets of tracks – one set in each direction. In many areas, where streetcar‐like mixed‐flow operations are proposed, curbside tracks would be employed and stops would use existing or expanded sidewalks. In areas where LRT‐like dedicated or semi‐exclusive rights‐of‐way are proposed, a center‐running system could be used. Placement of tracks in the center of
streets would entail use of narrow side‐platform or center‐platform stops, which could reduce the street width available for traffic in some locations. Under streetcar‐like operations, Urban Rail stops would be spaced approximately every two to four blocks; whereas under LRT‐like service, stops would be placed generally every 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 mile. These rapid service stops would be strategically located and consistent with neighborhood plans to maximize ridership generation, connection to cross transit routes, and efficiency of the system. Urban Rail would incorporate similar features and amenities to the Better Bus alternative, like off‐board fare collection and ITS technologies, such as signal priority (TSP) and queue jump3, as well as additional enhancements, like level boarding.
The Recommended Locally Preferred Alternative
As a result of the conceptual and detailed evaluations, the recommended Locally Preferred Alternative
(LPA) is Urban Rail, serving the Austin core (CBD, Capitol Complex, University of Texas,) Mueller Neighborhood, East Riverside Corridor, and Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA).
Length: 33.8 track miles, 16.5 route miles
Capital Cost: $955 million in first quarter 2010 dollars or $1.3 billion in year‐of expenditure (YoE) dollars* at $37.2 million YoE per track mile.
Operations Cost: Approximately $25 million YoE per year.
Ridership: Average weekday ridership projected to be approximately 27,600 by 2030.
Operations Plan: Two crossing routes (6.5 and 10 route miles each), with 10‐minute peak/off‐peak headways, using 27 vehicles (plus 2 spares), with service 16 hours a day/5 days a week and reduced service on weekends and holidays.
Travel Time: Approximately 32 – 33 minutes from end‐to‐end for both routes.
East CBD – Congress Avenue vs. Brazos Street
One issue involves the designation of a core alignment through the east side of downtown. This study recommends that Congress Avenue, rather than Brazos Street, be used for the primary Urban Rail alignment on the east side of downtown.
Lady Bird Lake Crossing – Existing Bridge vs. New Bridge
A key issue is where should the crossing of Lady Bird Lake (LBL) take place – should Urban Rail cross on one of the existing bridges, Congress Avenue or South 1st Street, or on a new bridge within this vicinity. This study has looked at one option for a new structure and recommends additional study of both the ability of the existing bridges to accommodate Urban Rail and additional new alignments across LBL. This issue will be evaluated in detail through a NEPA environmental process planned for 2010‐2011.
Maintenance Facility Options
Given the likelihood that an initial investment segment for Urban Rail will center around the downtown area, property is being sought to accommodate a maintenance facility in the immediate vicinity. Acquiring or developing any property in the CBD can be costly; therefore the City of Austin is reviewing existing city‐owned properties to redevelop with a maintenance facility. A possible option for a near‐downtown city –owned property is One Texas Center, on Barton Springs Rd. It is advised that additional study be conducted to provide a final recommendation.
The Next Steps Toward Urban Rail System Implementation
The next step in the program development process is for the City Council to adopt a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) recommendation.
This step will also designate the LPA as a project for a more detailed environmental study to begin in the Fall 2010.. As part of the environmental study, the City will identify a lead federal agency, publish a notice of intent (NOI), and begin additional public outreach and project development, including capital and operations funding plans, operations and governance strategies, and system phasing; as well as resolution of the design issues noted above for further consideration.
Ultimately, it is anticipated that voters will decide in a bond election whether to fund an initial phase of the Urban Rail system.

Protecting the Shoreline
The shoreline is the interface between terrestrial inputs and in-pond processes, and its protection is a major component of pond protection. This report focuses on three general shoreline considerations.
First, soil erosion of the shoreline (e.g., slumping banks) can be a major source of suspended particles in the water column (reducing light penetration, inhibiting the growth of primary producers, and discoloring the water), and nutrient input (especially phosphorus, large quantities of which are loosely attached to soil particles).
Shoreline erosion may be exacerbated by fluctuations in the pond water level (leaving exposed soil) and by livestock (which may be a substantial contributor of both suspended sediments and nutrients).
Engineered solutions for protecting shorelines from erosion have traditionally included "hard armor" such as "riprap" (large, loose stones placed atop screening) along banks to control sediment erosion during storm events. More recently, bioengineering approaches have used the roots and stems of natural vegetation to stabilize shorelines. Biodegradable organic materials such as coconut fiber are used initially to prevent erosion while new plantings are becoming established.
Eventually, the plants take over the task of bank stabilization as the organic materials slowly decompose. Bioengineered shorelines provide additional aesthetic benefits, serve as wildlife habitat and, once established, require little further maintenance, whereas traditional "hard armor" structures may weaken over time. Many ponds in Chester County use riprap or concrete "sea-walls", which are really more appropriate to environments receiving heavy wave stress than to the banks of small ponds.
Second, establishing riparian buffer strips of vegetation along the shoreline to replace mowed lawn (currently the predominant riparian land use in Chester County) may likewise improve pond water quality. Turf grass has little root penetration and proportionally little capacity for sediment and nutrient retention, and the application of lawn fertilizers can add to the pond's nutrient load. Just how wide a riparian buffer should be is subject to debate, but minimum widths of 7.5 m (25 feet) are often recommended; any buffer is better than none. It is often useful to plan both an upland zone and aquatic zone within the buffer. Suggestions for planting and landscape design are provided under "Pondscaping" (Section VI).
Establishing a riparian buffer zone of natural meadow, shrubs or trees can actually be financially logical as well. The property manager at a farm in East Bradford Township recently replaced 2 acres of mowed grass with wildflowers. The initial estimated cost of seeding was recouped within approximately 1 year by reduced mowing expenses, and the new buffer resulted in a profusion of wildflowers.
Trees can be a hindrance to recreational uses, and may interfere with the view of the pond. One way to have a riparian buffer while at the same time retaining an attractive "viewscape" is to trim lower branches and reduce the height of the herb and shrub layers The creation of adequate access points for fishing and landscaping specific locations where the pond can be seen, while keeping much of the remaining shoreline protected, can likewise facilitate enjoyment of the pond while maintaining its water quality.
Third, protection of an inflowing stream can be just as important as protecting the shoreline of the pond itself. Bathymetric (depth contour) maps of most ponds show that the shallowest areas occur near the inflow, typically because of sediments carried in by the stream. If land is scheduled to be developed upstream, properly installed sediment fences and well designed erosion control measures are absolutely necessary for pond protection. Where sediment inflows cannot be reduced by streamside buffers, a portion of the pond near the inflow can sometimes be engineered with a berm built just below the surface, forming a sediment trap in which the suspended material settles before entering the main portion of the pond. Trapped sediments must be removed regularly, however, for the design to be effective. Alternatively, the inlet area of the pond can be graded to encourage the growth of emergent aquatic plants, forming a wetland that will also function to trap sediments as they enter the pond.


Russia’s state-owned United Grain Co. is planning the construction of a $290 million specialized grain terminal in the far east port of Zarubino. The project will be built through three phases – construction of the first phase, which will include a berth for Panamax and Post Panamax ships and a silo park, is scheduled to be begin in 2018 and be completed by 2020.
Phase II, which is expected to be completed in 2023 will increase storage space to 10 million tons, and will include the addition of more berths and other facilities.
Construction on Phase III will begin in 2023 and will increase the handling volumes of the site to an eventual 10 million tons per year.

Panel directs Adani airport holdings to revise EMP for Thiruvananthapuram
The proposal includes construction of a hotel with 240 rooms, food and beverage service (660 seats) and allied installations. Adani plans to develop the property and then hand it over to an international brand in the hotel and beverage business.
The state expert appraisal committee (SEAC) has directed the Adani Airport Holdings Limited to submit a revised environment management plan (EMP) for the proposed city side developmental project after the committee concluded that the percentage allocation of total project cost for EMP was inadequate.
The proposal includes construction of a hotel with 240 rooms, food and beverage service (660 seats) and allied installations. As per the minutes of the latest SEAC meeting, the committee discussed the field inspection report conducted by the panel constituted team and made a list of observations during the meeting held in March.
As per the document published by the ministry of environment, forest and climate change, the EMP shall include delineation of mitigation and compensation measures for all the identified significant impact, delineation of unmitigated impacts, physical planning, including work programme, time schedule and locations for putting mitigation and compensation systems in place, delineation of financial plan for implementing the mitigation measures in the form of budgetary estimates and demonstration of its inclusion in the project budget estimates.
The total plot area of the proposed project is 0.8093 ha (8,093.64 sq.m) and the total built-up area is 33,903 sqm. The SEAC has also raised concerns regarding parking facilities. It noted that the parking for vehicles proposed in the project is 348 cars plus 1,318 sqm space for two-wheelers, but compensation for the loss of the present vehicle parking facility was not given by the project proponent. The SEAC has also directed the project proponent to provide details/action taken for compensating the loss of existing vehicle parking facilities available in the project site and adding up of additional parking requirements as per the Kerala Municipality Building Rules provisions, according to the minutes of the meeting.
As regarding the proposal to harness solar energy, the SEAC has directed the applicant to explore the possibility of increasing solar power generation from the present level of 7.21 percent to higher level and connecting it to KSEB grid, for ensuring better usage of nonconventional energy. Further it has asked the project proponent to explore the possibility of increasing the use of solar power for lighting systems in the common places of the proposed hotel compound.
Adani plans to develop the property and then hand it over to an international brand in the hotel and beverage business.


BIG BIGGER BIGGEST: Skyscraper
The world's tallest man-made structure is the 829.8 m (2,722 ft) tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The building gained the official title of "Tallest Building in the World" at its opening on January 4, 2010.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, an organization that certifies buildings as the "World’s Tallest", recognizes a building only if at least fifty percent of its height is made up of floor plates containing habitable floor area. Structures that do not meet this criterion, such as the CN Tower, are defined as "towers".
There are dozens of radio and television broadcasting towers which measure over 600 metres (about 2,000 ft) in height, and only the tallest are recorded in publicly available information sources.

On May 27, 1937, the bridge was opened to pedestrians. The following day it was opened to cars. An estimated 200,000 people attended the celebrations on opening day.
Construction on the Golden Gate Bridge began on Jan. 5, 1933, and lasted just over four years. The bridge straddles the Golden Gate strait, and connects Marin County and San Francisco.
In this photo taken circa 1935, one of the stanchions casts a shadow over houses at its foot.
Chief engineer Joseph Strauss is credited with the original design of the bridge, which he submitted in 1921. The project received financial backing in November 1930, when voters passed a $35 million bond measure.
Architect Irving Morrow gave the Golden Gate Bridge its art deco characteristics. He designed the shape of the towers to emphasize their height and added vertical fluting along the braces between the tower legs. These details cast dramatic shadows with the light and help make the bridge look and feel more like a sculpture. Morrow also designed the streetlamps, railings and walkways.

Some very good news about the bridge was released by Murrindindi Shire today. Basically a temporary bridge will be put in place while works are being done.
See below the release from Murrindindi Shire:
"A community meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Thursday 4 June 2009 at the Hazeldene Bridge for interested members of the community to come along and discuss
the proposed upgrade works on the Hazeldene Bridge. Council’s Manager Assets & Infrastructure, Ian Ellett, will be in attendance to discuss the proposed works and to answer any questions.
As a result of the fire damage sustained to the bridge deck, refurbishment works are currently being planned. The proposed works will involve replacement of the existing timber deck and railing with a new concrete deck and new steel barrier rails.
A temporary bridge will be installed as part of these works providing 24-hour vehicle and pedestrian access for the duration of the works. Subject to cost, it may be possible to provide a pedestrian lane as part of the new bridge deck.
Other benefits are that the bridge will be safer for vehicles and pedestrians, less at risk to fire damage, will have significantly lower maintenance needs and require less traffic closures.
There has currently been no decision in relation to the appointment of a contractor so the exact timing of these works cannot be confirmed at the present time.
Any enquiries or concerns about these proposed works should be directed to Ian Ellett, Engineering Services Team, on telephone 5772 0333. Alternatively, concerns
in writing, should be addressed to the Manager Assets &
Infrastructure, PO Box 138 Alexandra 3714."

As we come through another wet winter, Alistair Millar from Tallents Solicitors in Southwell, explains why it is more important than ever before for purchasers to investigate the risk and potential impact of flooding for the property they are thinking of buying.
When caught up in the prospect of owning a new home, many purchasers forget to consider flooding risks, but no-one should now assume their house is safe from the risk of flooding, comments Alistair.
Storms Dennis and Ciara meant that February 2020 was the wettest February on record for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the second wettest for Scotland.
Heavy rainfall is becoming more common according to the Met Office and climate change is making devastating weather events, like some of the winter storms we have been experiencing, even more likely.
How to find out if the property you are buying is at risk of flooding
As part of the normal conveyancing work, your conveyancing solicitor should always enquire before contract as to whether the property has been affected by flooding in the past.
Even though a property may seem completely landlocked, miles from water sources, it should not be assumed that it will be safe from flooding in the future.
As part of the searches carried out when you buy a property, they will also carry out an environmental search. This is a basic report, highlighting any flooding, landslide, subsidence and contaminated land issues.
However, the replies given can often be non-committal so the best way to ascertain potential flooding is to request a Flood Risk Report.
What is a Flood Risk Report?
A Flood Risk Report is a detailed document, designed to assess the risk of flooding from groundwater, surface water, sea water and river water, for a specific property.
An identified flood risk will have an impact on the availability and cost of building insurance, which is required to make the property mortgageable, and ultimately a highlighted flooding risk will also affect the value of the property.
The Flood Risk Report will also let you know what flood defences are in place which may reduce the impact of future flooding.
Consider potential flooding risks when buying a property
Flooding damages to residential and non-residential properties in England are estimated at an annual cost of more than £1.3 billion. The cost of remedial work to a flood-damaged property can run into the tens of thousands, so potential flooding should always be a serious consideration when buying a property.
Buyers can ask the Environment Agency for the flooding history on a property but at Tallents Solicitors we encourage our clients to consider a Flood Risk Report when purchasing property. The detailed issues it might highlight could save tens of thousands of pounds in the long term.


Drinking Water System Emergencies
The State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water identifies drinking water systems that may be vulnerable to acute drinking water shortages due to the ongoing extreme drought conditions in the state. Drinking water systems are also regularly monitored and evaluated to determine systems that may soon be at-risk for water shortages.
In case of an emergency that disrupts services provided by a local water utility system, roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved in locating, procuring, and delivering emergency drinking water are outlined in this 2014 guidance document produced by the Office of Emergency Services (OES) “Emergency Drinking Water Procurement and Distribution Planning Guidance” .
For water systems experiencing diminishing water supply, please stay in contact with your county emergency manager, OES and the local Drinking Water District engineer. Inquire about public funding available for emergency water projects.
- If your water system is experiencing a water outage, contact your District Engineer or Local Regulatory Agency immediately.
- Notify your County Emergency Manager http://www.caloes.ca.gov/ICESite/Pages/Drought.aspx
- If you have concerns or questions about your public drinking water systems, please contact the Division of Drinking Water Hotline at 1-855-737-1796
