Urban infrastructure profoundly influences the fabric of city life, shaping the way individuals interact with their environment on a daily basis. At the intersection of urban planning and personal mobility, the safety of scooter users emerges as a key concern. With the rise in popularity of scooters as a convenient mode of transportation, the adequacy of urban infrastructure in catering to this trend has been brought into sharp focus. This topic provides insight into the ways in which infrastructure can bolster or undermine scooter safety, presenting a complex puzzle for city planners and riders alike. The interplay between infrastructure design and scooter dynamics unveils a range of considerations, from the layout of bike lanes to the quality of road surfaces. Delving into this subject reveals not only the challenges but also the opportunities for enhancing rider safety and promoting a more sustainable urban transit system. Discover how thoughtful urban design can create an environment where scooters provide a safe and enjoyable mode of transportation. The following sections will explore the integral aspects of this interplay, beckoning readers to consider the multifaceted impact of infrastructure on scooter safety.
The Role of Bike Lanes in Scooter Safety
Amidst the bustling streets of urban centers, dedicated bike lanes have emerged as a pivotal factor in bolstering scooter safety. These designated pathways offer scooter users a refuge from the dangers of vehicular traffic, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. The clarity of demarcation, rigorous maintenance, and seamless connectivity of bike lanes across urban landscapes are paramount in ensuring that scooter riders have a secure and uninterrupted route. As bike lane infrastructure improves, the instances of conflict between scooters, bicycles, and cars see a notable decline, contributing to a safer environment for all commuters. Moreover, urban planning that incorporates scooter-friendly amenities is an acknowledgment of the growing trend towards multi-modal transportation. By calling upon traffic engineering experts to integrate and prioritize these features, cities can foster a more harmonious coexistence of diverse transit modes, ultimately enhancing public safety and mobility.
Quality of Road Surfaces and Scooter Accidents
The road surface integrity is a significant factor in scooter safety. Scooters, with their smaller wheels and lower stability, are especially vulnerable to inconsistencies in urban road quality. Potholes, cracks, and uneven surfaces can cause serious scooter accidents, as they make it difficult for riders to maintain control. These hazards underscore the need for diligent road maintenance, particularly in areas with high scooter traffic. It is vital for municipal authorities to recognize the correlation between well-kept roads and the reduction of scooter accidents. Implementing regular maintenance programs that specifically address the repair of potholes and the smoothing of uneven pavements can greatly enhance scooter stability and reduce the number of incidents. For those interested in further exploring the intersection of mobility, urban planning, and scooter travel, this useful link provides a wealth of information and insightful discussion on the topic.
Impact of Traffic Calming Measures on Scooter Usage
Traffic calming strategies have been widely adopted in urban areas with the primary goal of reducing vehicle speeds and improving pedestrian safety. These strategies typically include the implementation of speed bumps, roundabouts, and various road narrowing techniques that inherently aim to foster a safer environment for all road users. In terms of scooter navigation, these safety measures can often lead to a dual effect. On one hand, they contribute to a decrease in traffic speeds, which is beneficial for the safety of scooter users. On the other hand, they also pose unique navigational challenges for those traveling by scooter. For instance, speed bumps can cause discomfort and potential hazards if scooters are not equipped with adequate suspension systems, while roundabouts require precise maneuvering to ensure safety amidst multi-directional traffic.
It is imperative that transportation officials address the distinctive needs of scooter users when planning and implementing urban safety measures. This involves considering the design of traffic calming structures to be scooter-friendly, thus minimizing the risk of accidents and enhancing the overall safety for these lightweight, two-wheeled vehicles. Additionally, efforts to resolve modal conflict resolution—wherein different transportation modes safely coexist—are paramount in creating a holistic urban transportation ecosystem. The integration of scooter-specific considerations into traffic calming initiatives will not only promote the welfare of scooter users but also contribute to the seamless flow of urban transit.
Lighting and Signage: Illuminating the Path to Safety
Proper lighting and signage are pivotal factors in reducing scooter accidents, particularly during the evening when visibility naturally diminishes. Scooter pathway lighting serves a dual purpose: it not only allows riders to discern obstructions and surface irregularities, but also ensures they are seen by pedestrians and motorists. This enhanced visibility is a key component of accident prevention. Furthermore, urban signage acts as visual guidance systems, offering clear, unambiguous direction to scooter users, contributing to safe navigation through cityscapes. City planners involved in urban infrastructure must prioritize the integration of high-quality illumination and distinctly visible signage along scooter routes to safeguard users and establish a secure transit environment for all.
Integration of Scooters into Public Transit Systems
The seamless integration of scooters into public transit networks is paramount in bolstering transportation safety and enhancing network efficiency. By ensuring public transit integration, cities can address the 'last-mile' problem, effectively bridging the gap between transit stops and a rider's final destination. Designated scooter zones at transit stops, coupled with adequate parking facilities, can significantly reduce clutter on sidewalks and minimize the potential for accidents involving pedestrians. Moreover, accommodations for scooter carrying on buses, trains, and subways promote intermodal connectivity, a technical term that defines the ease of transitioning between different modes of transport. This interconnected approach not only boosts urban mobility but also encourages a modal shift from car-dependent journeys to more sustainable scooter use. Transit authorities and urban planners must work together to design and implement infrastructure that supports scooters as a viable last-mile solution, ensuring a cohesive and safe transportation network for all users.

Over 90% of power outages occur on the distribution grid. Yet, existing methods of inspecting grid assets at scale to mitigate resiliency and safety risks are employed mainly on the transmission grid, not the distribution grid.
Why is this the case? Simply put, inspecting distribution grid assets at scale is difficult. Distribution grid assets are too numerous, often located in densely populated areas, and aerial views can be obscured by vegetation for three quarters of the year. This means that nascent methods of at-scale inspection, such as piloting drone missions, cannot be easily applied to the distribution grid. The net result is that utilities must perform costly and time-consuming manual inspections that don't scale, leaving the grid at risk to climate-related events.
Inspector Edge enables low cost inspection of distribution grid assets at scale. It's a hardware device that mounts on existing fleet vehicles and leverages proprietary AI to inspect and inventory assets at the edge, sending results to the cloud in real-time for further review.

Phase V Power Development Project Update
Madam Speaker, the Phase V Power Development Project being undertaken by the British Virgin Islands Electricity Corporation BVIEC, is well underway and there is definitely more ‘light’ at the end of the tunnel.
This project will add three (3) engines generating a total of 26.7MW of power to the central BVI Grid.
It will also connect the Pockwood Pond Power Station to the facility in Long Bush, using an alternate route via the Paul Wattley Drive.
Madam Speaker, this BVIEC Phase V Development Programme remains on track to be completed by the end of 2016.
For Package A, which is the Generation Contract, the three (3) engines have already been manufactured.
Officials from the BVIEC visited the Manufacturer’s facility to witness the factory acceptance testing for the first two (2) engines in November 2015 and in April 2016 for the last engine.
Madam Speaker, the engines are now ready for shipment and are expected to arrive in the BVI mid-August 2016.
Turning to the building expansion, the four (4) engine beds are now complete and the steel frame structure is now being erected.
The floor space for the control room has also been completed and most of the equipment is now on site or enroute to BVI.
Madam Speaker, new cables have been installed between Pockwood Pond and the Long Bush facility for the Package B Transmission Contract, and works to extend the Long Bush substation will soon begin to accommodate the new switchgear to facilitate cable termination.
Madam Speaker, I wish to congratulate the British Virgin Islands Electricity Corporation, its main contractor K-Line International and local sub-contractor Sandwise Limited, for an excellent job with the transmission lines installation, despite some inconveniences.
They were able to expertly minimize these inconveniences and as I said, the project is well underway.
In addition, Madam Speaker, I know that the motoring public has experienced some disruptions to the flow of traffic as the lines were being laid from Pockwood Pond along the main road.
I wish to thank you for your patience during that phase of the project.
I know that we are all looking forward to the successful completion of the BVIEC’s Phase V Power Development Programme.
Thank you Madam Speaker.

We have a wide range of garage epoxy flooring design finishes that would surely compliment the existing design of your home or business spaces
Epoxy Garage Design Options
Epoxy flooring is made of resins and hardeners. This two-part system is mixed together in precise measurements. The mixture is applied on the surface and distributed evenly to cure. Once it completely cures, it will turn into a plastic-like material that is durable enough for spaces that are exposed to impact and pressure. Epoxy coating is a perfect flooring system for garage floors due to its durability, cost-effectivity, low maintenance, and long-lasting finish. Some of the epoxy garage floors Orlando designs you can choose from include:
Flakes epoxy garage flooring design can also be applied to areas such as kitchen, basements, living rooms, and offices. This type of epoxy flooring design is applied on the surface in three parts. On the first layer, an epoxy coating will be applied, and while the coating is still wet, the chips will be poured, which serves as a second layer. The second layer adds strength, color, and dimension to the coating. To lock everything in place, a polyaspartic coating will be applied, which serves as the third and final coating.
Flakes epoxy floors became popular because of its impressive durability and design. Flakes chips are available in a variety colorways, but it can also be customized based on your preferred color, texture, and style.
If you want an epoxy garage flooring design that’s unique at the same time appealing, metallic epoxy flooring is the best option for you. Metallic epoxy flooring design provides a multi-dimensional look due to its glittery particles and natural shine. This type of epoxy flooring design is installed by mixing glitter chips and epoxy coating, a colorant is sometimes added to enhance the flooring finish. Once the mixture is ready, it will be poured on the surface and will be distributed evenly
If you need the durability and maintenance of epoxy floor coatings but are looking for something more unique, we also install metallic floor epoxy in the garage. Epoxy metallic effects have a multi-dimensional chrome appearance where particles in the floors glitter and shine. This is done by mixing glitter aggregates into the epoxy mixture, sometimes also with a colorant to add more design. By incorporating it into the epoxy, you get an even distribution of glitter on the floor.
Terrazzo has been a popular flooring design since the 1500s. The concept was created by the Venetians. Over the years, this type of flooring design developed a more durable material by mixing epoxy coating and terrazzo chips. Compared to other designs, this needs a thicker coating application.
Epoxy Garage Floor Perks
Simple Installation Steps
Compared to other types of flooring installations that are time-consuming, epoxy floors only take 1-2 days to install. Although you have an option for DIY epoxy flooring installation, it is recommended to have ist done by a professional to ensure the quality and durability of the material.
Durable Flooring Finish
Epoxy floors are known for their durability, especially if it’s done by an experienced and skilled contractor. Once an epoxy coating completely cures, it turns out to be a very hard plastic finish that is resistant to any type for flooring damage.

Aesthetically Appealing Finish
Your garage floor do not only provide a durable flooring system. It also makes your garage area aesthetically pleasing. With epoxy floors, it is now possible to say goodbye to your messy, greasy, and discolored garage floors. Garage epoxy floors come with a variety of designs to choose from, you would surely find the design that would suit your taste.

Epoxy floors usually look shiny, but that does not mean that it’s slippery. This type of flooring system is safe because it is skid and slip-resistant, which is perfect for your garage area. It provides a seamless and smooth flooring finish. Additives can be added on the top layer to further increase traction on the surface.
Affordable Price Point
Epoxy floors are considered to be one of the most affordable flooring systems in the market. There is no need to remove the concrete slab in order to replace your garage flooring material. Epoxy flooring is installed on the existing concrete surface, which will save time and money.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
While other types of flooring systems require special cleaning to maintain the aesthetic of the area, epoxy floors require minimal cleaning. A simple sweeping and mopping are enough to get rid of dirt or liquid spills.
Epoxy Flooring Installation Process
Professional epoxy flooring contractors are skilled and experienced in using the right tools and equipment for epoxy floor installation. To give you an idea of how the installation process goes, we have listed the steps below:
Our contractor will assess the garage area to analyze what needs to be done. This will also be an opportunity for the installers to check if the surface would be perfect for epoxy adhesion.
Surface preparation starts with getting rid of any existing sealer, paint, or grease on the garage flooring surface. Any surface damages such as cracks and holes will be fixed before the epoxy installation to prevent future issues.
The surface will then be clean thoroughly using water and soap. After that, the surface will be rinsed using a hose or pressure washer then will be air-dried.
To ensure that the epoxy coating will adhere to the concrete surface, etching or concrete pores should be opened using citric acid or muriatic acid. Some installers use a grinding machine for etching because it is much safer.
Both epoxy resin and hardeners will be mixed and will be evenly applied on the surface. Epoxy coating preparation depends on the preferred flooring design finish.
After applying the epoxy coating, it needs several hours to dry completely. The excess chips will be vacuumed or swept off the surface.
An additional coating will be applied to the top layer to keep everything in place. This step can be optional.

Roof Tile Types For Your Florida Home
Welcome to another ORB Roofing Solutions roofing exposé. Your home is not just a place to live; it’s a reflection of your personality and taste. One of the most impactful and often overlooked elements that contribute to the character of your home is the roof. Aesthetically pleasing roof tiles can elevate the overall look, while providing the essential function of protecting your home. Let’s delve into the world of roof tiles and explore nine types that can truly set your home apart.
Understanding the Essence of Roof Tiles
Roof tiles have been synonymous with shelter and protection for millennia. Notably different from conventional asphalt shingles, roof tiles offer a plethora of options in material, design, and functionality. Historically, slate and clay were popular choices due to local availability, dating back to the 1600s and 10,000 BC respectively. The 19th century heralded the advent of concrete and metal tiles. Roof tiles primarily serve to keep water out but do so with unmatched elegance and variety.
Slate Roof Tiles: A Touch of Timeless Elegance
Slate, a natural stone, lends an air of grandeur to your roof. The striking color variations are the handiwork of nature and time, rendering each tile unique. Besides its stunning beauty, slate is fire-resistant, durable, and can last for decades. However, it’s important to consider that slate is heavy, requiring structural reinforcement. Additionally, it is costly and demands specialized handling for installation and repairs.
Metal Roof Tiles: Modern Flexibility and Style
Metal roof tiles, made from materials such as copper, aluminum, zinc, and steel, are celebrated for their lightweight and ease of installation. They can mimic various styles including barrel tiles, slate tiles, and wood shake tiles. However, metal tiles have some drawbacks, such as being noisy during rain, denting easily, and being slippery when wet. It’s also worth noting that metal conducts temperature, which can affect insulation.
Concrete Roof Tiles: Robust and Versatile
Originating in mid-19th century Bavaria, concrete roof tiles have become a cost-effective option. They can be styled to resemble wood shakes, clay tiles, or slate tiles. Concrete tiles are heavy and necessitate a reinforced roof structure. It’s vital to have experienced roofing crews for proper installation and maintenance.
Composite Roof Tiles: The Best of Both Worlds
Composite roof tiles are crafted from a blend of natural and synthetic materials, offering a plethora of advantages over traditional materials. They replicate the appearance of various roofing materials and offer custom color mixes. Composite tiles are lighter, come with warranties, and can be installed by most experienced roofing contractors.
Solar Roof Tiles: The Future is Here
Solar roof tiles integrate electricity-producing capabilities, harnessing the sun’s power for your home. These tiles can significantly reduce your electricity bills. While the upfront cost is higher, the long-term benefits for the environmentally conscious homeowner are considerable.
Clay Roof Tiles: Classic Beauty and Durability
Clay roof tiles have a rich history due to the accessibility of the base material. Today’s clay tiles are machine-made but retain their timeless beauty. They are available in various shapes and colors. However, they are heavy, require experienced installers, and need a reinforced structure to support their weight.
Synthetic Spanish Barrel Roof Tiles: Elegance Without Hassle
These tiles capture the eternal charm of a Spanish Villa without necessitating structural reinforcement. Made from recyclable materials, they are fire-resistant and require minimal maintenance compared to traditional clay tiles.
Synthetic Slate Roof Tiles: Authenticity with Convenience
Synthetic slate tiles give the impression of real slate without the associated weight and maintenance issues. They are lightweight, durable, and environmentally friendly.
Synthetic Cedar Roof Tiles: A Maintenance-free Alternativeto Natural Wood
Synthetic Cedar roof tiles offer the aesthetic of natural cedar shakes without the susceptibility to warping, cracking, or rotting. They are made from composite materials, which means they won’t attract fungus like real cedar shakes. These tiles are lightweight, easy to install, and come with high fire and impact ratings, ensuring longevity and safety.
Making the Right Choice: Balancing Style and Functionality
When choosing roof tiles, it is essential to consider not just the aesthetic appeal but also the functionality and longevity. Your choice should complement the architectural style of your home and withstand the local weather conditions. Whether you opt for the natural elegance of slate, the modern flexibility of metal, or the environmentally conscious choice of solar tiles, your decision should be an amalgamation of beauty, durability, and practicality.
Why We Recommend Composite Roof Tiles
Composite roof tiles, including synthetic slate, cedar, and Spanish barrel roof tiles, provide an all-encompassing solution. These tiles combine the aesthetic attributes of their natural counterparts with the benefits of modern materials. They are lightweight, durable, and offer an extensive palette of colors and styles. Moreover, they are often more affordable and easier to maintain compared to natural tiles.
Conclusion: Invest in Your Home with Roof Tiles
Your roof is an investment that protects your home while accentuating its beauty. The right roof tiles can enhance your home’s curb appeal, add value, and serve as a durable shield against the elements. By carefully considering the options and weighing the pros and cons, you can select roof tiles that are not only visually appealing but also functional and long-lasting. At the end of the day, your home deserves nothing but the best. Give ORB Roofing Solutions a call when your ready to start your next tile roofing project 🙂

It’s really happening. Days after the Pasig River Expressway (PAREX) received government approval, San Miguel Corporation (SMC), the Department of Transportation (DOTr), and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) have now broken ground for Metro Manila’s next big expressway.
The 19.37km six-lane elevated expressway will run along Pasig River and will seek to connect different traffic-riddled areas in Metro Manila. According to SMC, however, PAREX will not just cater to motorists, but will also provide easier travel for commuters as well.
“Our vision is for PAREX to have multiple uses. It will be adaptive to allow us to respond to current and future challenges,” said SMC president Ramon S. Ang during the groundbreaking ceremony. “We will integrate into the design bus rapid transit systems to further decongest our cities and provide commuters a faster, more efficient, and more affordable system of transport.
“It will have bike lanes, water ferries, pedestrian walkways, jogging paths, and facilities to carry fiber-optics cables. We will create green spaces where people and nature come together.”
“We in the DPWH believe that this will be a monumental and significant project as it would serve as the primary east-west connection, from R10 in Manila all the way to Taytay in Rizal,” said DPWH undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral. “It will complete the network of expressways proposed within the Metro Manila area and will provide a solution to the growing traffic problem within the metropolis.”
Once completed, PAREX is expected to cut travel time between Manila City and Pasig City down to 15-20 minutes. How do you think PAREX will affect traffic in the metro? Tell us in the comments.

It's in Bhubaneshwar Barua Road


Industries are being developed and disrupted by digitization. The international consultancy company McKinsey looked into this topic. One of the results: the construction industry is among the least digitized industries compared to other industries like the automotive industry. As a result, 20 per cent of all building projects are delayed and in 80 per cent of all projects, the budget is exceeded. For everyone involved, this means large differences in timing and budget compared to the original plan. Besides, building labour productivity has not increased in recent decades.
This whitepaper explains:
1. Digitization of the construction industry
2. Building modelling – from paper to digital
3. CAD and BIM: Definitions and differences
4. Communication of BIM data
5. The role of manufacturers in digital modelling

Water damage is typically classified into one of the following three categories:
Category 1 Water (Clean Water)- Refers to a source of water that does not pose substantial threat to humans. Examples are broken water supply lines, tub or sink overflows or appliance malfunctions that involves water supply lines.
Category 2 Water (Grey Water) - Refers to a source of water that contains a significant degree of chemical, biological or physical contaminants and causes discomfort or sickness when exposed or even consumed. This type carries micro organisms and nutrients of micro organisms. Examples are toilet bowls with urine (no feces), sump pump failures, seepage due to hydrostatic failure and water discharge from dishwashers or washing machines.
Category 3 Water (Black Water) - Are grossly unsanitary. This water contains unsanitary agents, harmful bacteria and fungi, causing severe discomfort or sickness. Category 3 losses are contaminated water sources that affect the indoor environment. This includes water sources from sewage, seawater, rising water from rivers or streams, ground surface water or standing water. Category 2 Water or Grey Water that is not promptly removed from the structure and/or have remained stagnant for 48-72 hours may be reclassified as Category 3 Water. A toilet backflow that originates from beyond the toilet trap is considered black water contamination regardless of visible content or color.

Sustainability has been a focus area of the construction field for a while, but more recently legislative efforts have added a stronger sense of urgency. For example, Washington, D.C. is setting its sights on net-zero construction. The City Council recently passed legislation requiring all new buildings and substantial renovations in Washington to be net-zero construction by 2026 and banned most natural gas use in new buildings.
What Materials We Use
Construction uses a lot of natural resources due to the materials required to create structures that will withstand time and weather. Choosing sustainable construction materials can help reduce a project’s carbon footprint. Cement production, for example, accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions because of the limestone and clay required to create the product. To reduce these emissions, it’s essential to find new, cleaner ingredients to include in concrete without compromising its strength.
Scientists are already researching cleaner materials to reduce or replace the limestone found in cement. Scientists at Stanford University created cement that replaces limestone with volcanic rock while scientists in Germany and Brazil found a way to replace 50–60% of the limestone in cement with Belterra clay.
Another way to increase sustainability in construction projects is to reuse materials. Reusing materials is both cost-effective and more sustainable, whether construction professionals are rehabbing or building from scratch. Rehabbing an old building eliminates or decreases the need for demolition while also potentially using fewer materials. If the building is not in good condition, or there is no building to start with, construction professionals can use materials from other projects when possible.
A variety of materials in existing buildings or civil-engineering structures can be reused in projects, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. For example, wood recycled from a demolition can be used in the framing of the structure, or old flooring can be used in the new design. Reusing wood in any form not only keeps it out of landfills but also prevents future deforestation to produce new lumber.
Designed to be Sustainable
Construction professionals have a responsibility to create buildings using components that will continue to support the fight against climate change for years to come.
This is essential because the U.S. residential and commercial sectors combined made up 39% of total U.S. energy consumption in 2021. Choosing new technology that is more sustainable could allow the building to fight climate change without any effort from the owner.
There is more to sustainable buildings than just energy efficient windows and programmable thermostats, although those do make a difference. Net-zero energy components that construction professionals can work into buildings to ensure sustainability for the long run include: LED lighting, tankless water heaters and water-conserving plumbing fixtures.
Elements chosen during the design phase can also create a more sustainable building. Low ceilings, for example, are more energy efficient than high ceilings. Heat rises so it will take more energy for an HVAC system to heat a building with high ceilings rather than one with low ceilings. The right insulation can also keep energy waste under control.
We also need to take into account how we can prepare buildings to use fewer natural resources. Building structures surrounded by trees will ensure the air conditioning won’t have to work as hard in the summer, and planting trees helps absorb carbon emissions.
We’re getting closer to our goals in the fight against climate change, and integrating more sustainable components into the construction field will move us even closer. By revamping our materials, reusing existing materials and creating buildings with sustainability in mind, we can get closer to our goals to reverse climate change. The new regulations passed by lawmakers will ensure we continue to implement sustainability into our infrastructure.


Sid Johnson & Co., a well-known Baker City construction company, has been awarded the bid to serve as general contractor on a project that will transform the North Baker School Building into an early learning center.
Sid Johnson & Co. submitted the low bid of $1,616,884.
The only other firm vying for the contract was McCormack Construction Co. of Pendleton, which bid $1,788,700.
The bids included two alternate projects that were included in the accepted proposal, said Cassie Hibbert, project manager with Wenaha Group, which has an office in Pendleton. The project architect is LKV Architects of Boise.
Hibbert, who has worked with the District for the past several years on long-range facility planning, coordinated the bidding process. Bids were opened on May 28.
Hibbert said the first alternate was a $9,715 project to install cabinetry and plumbing in two classrooms in the southwest wing of the ground floor of the North Baker School, 2725 Seventh St. Sinks and cabinets will be needed as classrooms are transformed for kindergartners, she said. New matching sinks and cabinets also will be added to the other kindergarten classrooms that have existing plumbing, she said.
The second alternate, totalling $80,169, is for installing new aluminum windows on the first floor.
“The District really, really wanted to do the windows,” she said.
The District listed the two projects as alternates in case the bids came in high, Hibbert said. But that wasn’t the case.
“The bids came in favorably and in line with our budget,” she said.
Sid Johnson & Co.’s “first-tier subcontractor list,” which Hibbert said contractors are required to provide in their bids, includes these firms:
• Scrivner Paint of Baker City, $93,230
• Outpost Electric of Baker City, $319,496
• Nelson Excavating of the Walla Walla Valley in Washington, $267,620
• Dillabaugh’s Flooring of Idaho’s Treasure Valley, $152,314
Other Baker County subcontractors on the project are Eagle Cap Plumbing, Alpine Alarm and A+ Affordable Construction (fencing), Baker School District Superintendent Mark Witty stated in a press release.
The North Baker building was constructed in 1909. The District added on to the north end of the building in the 1950s and a wing was added to the south end of the building in the 1970s.
The total cost of the renovation project is $2.3 million, Witty said. In addition to a $96,158 District contribution, funding sources include: $1.8 million from the Oregon Student Investment Act; $200,000 in grant funding; and $80,000, from Preschool Promise, the Oregon Department of Education’s Early Learning Division.
In reviewing the proposed budget with the Baker School Board at its April 24 meeting, Hibbert said a 9% contingency was included.
The north end of the building will be remodeled to include four classrooms for programs including Early Intervention, Head Start and preschool.
The south wing restoration project will include five kindergarten classrooms that will be occupied in the fall of 2021 to relieve overcrowding at Brooklyn Primary School. The kindergartners will remain in the self-contained modular buildings at Brooklyn this fall.
In addition to new paint, flooring, plumbing and electrical work and window replacement, the interior renovation will include abatement of asbestos tile, pipe insulation and fire escape cladding in the newer areas of the building as well as the tuffstone section, Hibbert said.
The play area on the building’s north side will be fenced and the parent and bus drop-off system will be reconfigured. The existing basketball court will be converted to a parking lot.
The renovation will involve about 25,000 square feet of the North Baker School Building’s total 40,000 square feet, Witty said.
At the Board’s April meeting, Hibbert said the work being done to convert the old building into the Baker Early Learning Center will make it more appealing to the youngsters who will begin their educations there.
“The goal is to make it look like a positive, exciting and pleasant place that kids will want to be in,” she said.
Hibbert said Wednesday that the construction work could start as early as next week. Preschool classes are scheduled to begin in the building on Oct. 5.


Essex is a seriously water-stressed area. On average, we consume larger volumes of water per person than most of England. Only three fifths of the drinking water consumed here comes from the county itself. The rest has to be imported from elsewhere.

Apart from domestic use, water is needed by business sectors, such as:
• agriculture and horticulture
• food processing

The situation can be expected to get worse due to:
• climate change
• population growth
• the need to restore, protect and enhance the natural environment

By 2050 the East of England could see a public water supply shortage of around 730 million litres of water per day (Ml/d). This is equal to over a third of the predicted future need.
On top of this, Essex water quality is below the national average. This is because of:
• storm overflows discharging sewage into the water supply
• pollution from fertilisers and poor livestock management
• runoff from construction and traffic
View of the A12 showing cars travelling in both directions
Essex County Council (ECC), in partnership with Water Resources East (WRE), has developed the Water Strategy for Essex which highlights some of the great work already being done across Essex to improve:
• water resources
• water quality
The strategy aims to provide an important starting point for more conversations around the risks and opportunities in Essex including 30 recommendations for how to improve the water situation in Essex.

Watch the video below to learn more about the Water Strategy for Essex.
To aid these conversations, ECC, in partnership with the Young Essex Assembly, has developed the Essex Water Your Future online explorer.
The explorer provides a high-level overview of the issues raised in the strategy. It is a more interactive way to see what is going on with water where you live. This works by showing how complicated the integrated water system can be and then breaking this down to explain each element of the cycle. There are also direct links to Essex case studies and further resources.

A flooring tile is a type of concrete that is typically made up of tiles.
When they are laid down, the tiles are covered with a layer of mortar or cement, and they are then removed from the concrete.
That way, they are impervious to dirt and water.
However, a lot of flooring tiles have a tendency to break, and the materials in those tiles can damage the concrete if they are exposed to air, rain or other materials.
So how do you know which flooring is the right one for you?
The first thing to do is check the specifications of the flooring.
Most manufacturers provide detailed specifications, but they usually need to have more than one flooring type.
So if you’re looking to buy flooring, it’s best to search for specific flooring types on a website like TileTricks.com.
For example, you may see that a particular type of floor is made up primarily of cement and mortar.
But if that is the case, you should be able to find the right type of cement, or if you want to know what kind of cement you need, you can call the company directly.
In general, a brand name can be found on a product listing, or on a tile-quality website.
For instance, I would recommend a brand called Marble-Stone because Marble-stone products are made of solid granite, which is a very durable and durable material.
But Marble-stones flooring can break and can cause structural damage if exposed to water or rain.
A tile with a more durable and more resistant material can also be more easily replaced, and so you can replace your tile at a cheaper rate.
In addition to specifying the type of material and the type that you want, you also have to determine the type and amount of damage it can cause.
If it breaks and is too difficult to replace, then it’s probably not the right tile for you.
If you’re unsure about the type, then a quick online search will reveal the right flooring for you at TileTrick.com and the manufacturer’s website.
A quick glance at the specifications will also give you a general idea of the amount of mortar required to cover the tile.
The more mortar you use, the more protection you’ll get against the elements.
This is where you have to look at the durability of the tile, as well as its weight and how well it’s built.
There are also other factors that can affect how well a tile can handle water and dust, such as the type or thickness of the tiles that you’re buying.
You can also consider the price tag, which will also affect how much it costs.
It may not be the best way to choose a tile for your home, but if you do end up buying a tile, you’ll be glad you did.


A developer is proposing a mixed-use project in Peekskill that would deliver scores of apartments to the Westchester city.
Cornerstone Structures plans a 125-unit mixed-use building at 201 North Division Street in Peekskill, the Rockland/Westchester Journal News reported. The building, which would stand five stories at one corner and six at another, would be on a one-acre site.
The property would be a mix of market-rate and affordable units, although the exact split hasn’t been revealed. There would also be 16,000 square feet of retail, including maker space for local artisans.
Other proposed elements include recreation space, charging stations for electric vehicles, underground parking and bicycle racks.
Joseph Thompson, the project architect, said all of the existing buildings at the site — where the RAL Plumbing and Heating building stands — were deteriorating and would need to be razed prior to residential use, citing safety hazards, according to the report.
Thompson’s design puts sustainability centerstage. It features an all-electric blueprint with no fossil fuel, high-efficiency heating and cooling, LED lighting and rooftop solar panels.
City officials appeared to be on board during Cornerstone’s presentation to the Common Council. Mayor Vivian McKenzie, however, expressed concern about scope, wanting to see the project scaled back. One council member fretted over the need to find tenants for the commercial space, although that would be Cornerstone’s burden. Company principal James Guerriero said he was committed to leading that process.
The Planning Commission will review a zoning amendment for the project in November. If that gets the go-ahead, city officials will be able to review a site plan application.
Three years ago, the commission approved a separate plan to build 82 units of affordable and workforce housing in the Inland Waterfront Zoning District along Main Street. The Wilder Balter Partners project is slated for completion in the first quarter of next year.

SGF Energy is a major producer and marketer of liquid asphalt used primarily as a binder in constructing and maintaining road surfaces. The liquid asphalt is combined with aggregate to produce Hot Mix Asphalt, used for roadways. Other uses for asphalt include the manufacture of roofing products.
SGF Energy has the largest domestic asphalt production capacity in Turkey, producing base asphalt binders from four of its six refineries. Izmir and Istanbul refineries do not produce asphalt.
Asphalt must be kept hot to remain a liquid and is generally shipped at temperatures exceeding 300 degrees Fahrenheit via barge, rail or transport truck. Pipelines can not be used to move this product great distances efficiently due to temperature constraints.
SGF Energy markets asphalt through 33 owned or leased terminals located throughout the Midwest and Southeast. The SGF Energy customer base includes asphalt paving contractors, government entities (states, counties, cities, and townships) and asphalt roofing shingle manufacturers.


Designing, constructing and retrofitting buildings guided by LEED, Net Zero or Passive House principles, is not just a marketing stunt. These days mitigating the economic, social and environmental impacts of urbanization is no longer optional.
When it comes to choosing a green building framework, factors to be considered must go beyond their market appeal. The specific features of each building are key to determine the most suitable standard. A building’s use and its users, the local climate and site’s characteristics, as well as budget availability, are all important considerations to take into account. LEED, Net Zero and Passive House, all have their pros and cons:
1. Created in 1993, LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. As a rating system, it accounts points for different building features such as material durability, construction techniques, and efficient use of water and energy. With an uncomplicated framework, this approach is being integrated into building codes and regulations. However, it is this same ease that brings about some of the caveats of the approach. Some of the criticisms include LEED’s weak consideration of the long-term environmental benefits/impacts of a building. For instance, context and energy performance are often neglected. In addition, LEED certification comes with a high price tag that, unrelated to the green features of the building, requires a budget that could otherwise be allocated towards more green features, or even to increase a building’s affordability.
2. The principle behind Net Zero is to produce as much energy as is consumed by a building in a year. Ideally, this energy would be produced on-site and from a renewable energy source, but there is some flexibility. For this reason, the main characteristic of Net Zero is the promotion of buildings that are (almost) off-the-grid, and include solar panels, wind turbines, or geothermal pumps for energy generation. In theory, Net Zero standards can be applied to any kind of building; however, as the square footage of a building increases, its energy demand also rises, making it challenging to generate increasing amounts of energy from a renewable source on-site (you can only fit so many solar panels on a roof, for example). To overcome these obstacles, Net Zero has embraced design strategies that reduce energy consumption: daylighting, high-performance envelopes, and sun control and shading devices, among others. When these strategies are still not enough, other sources of energy (reliant or not on fossil fuels) can be used. Ultimately, the building can just plug back into the grid.
3. Although Passive House has been around since the 90s, Passive House use isn’t as widespread in North America as LEED and Net Zero. The primary characteristic of Passive House buildings is the absence of a furnace or a/c. Passive House buildings are designed to maintain a comfortable interior temperature throughout the seasons. This seemingly simple feature brings down the energy consumption and carbon emissions as low as possible — lower than any other green-building standard can. Moreover, the lack of mechanical systems for temperature and air quality control, also reduces maintenance and operational costs in the long term. But there is more to Passive House than this outstanding feature: with a long-term view, Passive House certified buildings use the highest quality materials and construction systems, and take advantage of the site’s specific conditions, its context and its users. For these reasons, the collaboration between designers, builders, and energy consultants is key to achieve Passive House certification. Furthermore, although going off-the-grid is not a condition for certification, reducing energy consumption to a minimum makes it very easy (and cheap) to reach Net Zero performance. Unlike LEED and Net Zero, not all buildings are suitable for Passive House certification, as energy savings depend a lot on the site’s conditions and orientation, rather than on a building’s size and use.
In summary, LEED and Net Zero certification are widely known and implemented in North America, and although these certifications are easier to achieve, long-term environmental benefits are not necessarily met. Passive House certification can be hard to achieve, but its benefits pursue a stronger effect on reducing GHG emissions, mitigating climate change, and increasing housing affordability in the long term.
In the following blog posts we’ll dive deep into the principles and benefits offered by Passive House.


Drain Inspection & Surveys
If you need to check that the drainage at your home has been properly installed, if you are buying a property and need to have the drains checked as part of the survey, if you are building an extension to your home, or if you are having recurring problems with your drains, you might need to have a Drain survey to examine drains, sewers and pipelines in detail.
We are able to offer you the professional service of a Drain survey & inspections that will record and identify any current or even hidden problems such as leaking drains which could cause subsidence in the future leading to damaging and costly work. Our comprehensive report will describe the drain conditions and make recommendations for any works necessary to ensure that your drains are working properly.
Cracked drains are a serious problem that may result in property damage, malodour, pollution of soil and groundwater as well as the spread of diseases.
Causes of cracked pipes include the incursion of roots, underground movement and corrosion in the case of metal pipes. Common signs of cracked drains include foul smells, localised wet patches and sinkholes as well as cracked walls and floors. The signs of cracked drains are not always apparent to property owners and sometimes the condition may only be confirmed through professional inspection by a qualified plumber.
How the professionals can help
If it is suspected that a drain is cracked, the best course of action is to call on the services of a professional drainage company, such as READY STEADY JET LTD, to conduct a thorough CCTV INSPECTION of the pipes. Should it be found that the drain is cracked, it is then necessary to decide on what measures should be taken to resolve the problem depending on the seriousness and extent of damage.
On some occasions, the best option is to repair the drain using trenchless technologies such as patch repairs, which are cheaper, less time consuming and cause less destruction, while other instances will necessitate full excavation and even drain replacement.
The resin is allowed to cure before the inflatable device is removed.
Full excavation and drain replacement
On some occasions, the severity and extent of drainpipe cracking is so great that no-trench rehabilitation technologies are incapable of remedying the problem. In those circumstances where pipes can not be repaired the only remaining option is to excavate the site in full and to replace the damaged pipe.
Full excavation and pipe replacement, which is more expensive and time-consuming than modern trenchless methods, as well as being more destructive to the site, is worth the temporary inconvenience and cost in the face of the disastrous consequences of leaking drains.
Drainage Repair Service
It may be that over time your drains have cracked or been damaged in some way. This can lead to bad smells, rodent incursion or even dampness and long term problems with the fabric and structure of your home. It is your responsibility to deal with any problems with drains within the boundaries of your property, so if you think your drains need repairing, you want to call a service you can rely on. Our engineers are fully experienced and equipped to deal effectively with the full range of problems and can repair or replace all damaged drains. We can identify the problem and provide the solution whether there are sections that need replacing or a repair such as drain lining is needed.


Pipes and various connecting pieces are joined quickly and easily by inserting pipes into the clamp of the connecting piece. The joining technology enables minimal consumption of time and effort and ensures that the joints of pipes and joints of connecting pieces do not allow the intrusion of sand and other soil particles. In case when water tightness is required, a rubber sealing ring must be inserted into the groove between the second and third rib from the end of the pipe.
Prior to joining pipes and fittings, the contact surfaces must be clean and undamaged.
If the required pipe length is shorter than the standard one, cut the pipe straight (with a knife or a fine-toothed saw). The plug end is pushed into the clamp to the limit. If the joints are made with sealing rings, the seal and the clamp must be lubricated with a suitable anti-friction agent (grease for rubber seals, silicone oil, soap), which must not damage the seal or pipe.
Due to connection with couplings, there is very little waste of pipes, as practically all lengths are usable.


Public comment in Ramsey County closes Wednesday on the proposed $15.6 million makeover of Pigs Eye Lake.
Plans to make the 500-acre lake in St. Paul’s Battle Creek neighborhood more bird and people friendly have been in the works since the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers took the lead in 2015.
The lake and surrounding land, which has been dubbed St. Paul’s largest and most unused park, has the misfortune of being framed by Pigs Eye landfill to the north, the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant to the northeast, the Canadian Pacific Railway Stockyard to the east, and the Red Rock Terminal barge port to the south.
The lake has suffered from increased sediment and erosion. Fertilizer in run off from Battle Creek prompted weed growth and cut oxygen.
Officials plan to used dredged material from the Mississippi River’s Pool 2 (the portion above the dam at Hastings to the Ford Dam) to build six islands to encourage bird nesting.
Three of the islands will look more like berms, split in the middle to create areas sheltered from wind and waves.
The plan also includes getting rid of invasive species and reworking the wetlands so they function better as a sediment and run-off strainer to water entering the lake.
The project is being funded with $11.3 million in federal funds and $4.3 million from Ramsey County. The county’s portion is being paid for by a grant through the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council, which is funded by the state’s Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment.
Once the public review period ends Sept. 30, the plan will be submitted for approval from the Ramsey County Parks Commission. If approved, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners will vote in November to accept it. It will then move to the Metropolitan Council for approval in January.
The overall Battle Creek Regional Park Master Plan Amendment will cover the entire regional park for both natural resource and recreation improvements.
To submit a comment by mail, send it to the Ramsey County Parks Commission, 2015 Van Dyke, Maplewood, MN, 55109 or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

Bathymetry surveys are accomplished through the use of good survey/mapping practice and a custom data collection system. A detailed site survey can be very time consuming so we have integrated a system of sonar technology and processes that automate much of the data collection. To survey a site quickly and accurately we are making extensive use of DGPS technology to carry out all the positional tasks of the survey.
Associate Tony Piepjohn of Coast Spatial GIS & Mapping Specialists has been using GPS technology in resource surveying since 1994 for many different purposes and clients. All GPS related work is carried out to the BC Resource Inventory Committee (RIC) standards for GPS surveys. RIC standards are what all provincial agencies use to ensure any GPS related work is carried out with suitable methods and equipment. Mr. Piepjohn has the RIC certification Level 4 (good for all aspects of GPS from field work, processing, mapping, and survey design) and can ensure GPS activities are being carried out properly.
With accurate site details it is possible to begin designing an efficient and robust anchoring system or installation. Through the use of GIS and CAD we develop the complete model for the system so that every part of a system is located, engineered, and specified appropriately. The computer model is important in that you can quickly build a system to generate accurate material and cost schedules, working drawings, fully 3D models to view, evaluate, and change parts of the system.
This GIS/CAD component also ensures that license holders put their best foot forward with regulatory agencies in that installations are designed and built using proper and defensible techniques. Very important is that these GIS/CAD models will serve as the database for future compliance monitoring of the system and site in an environmental context.

A new $2 billion ultra-entertainment precinct will come up on the site of the Brisbane Transit Centre after it is demolished in 2020. The demolition will make way for Cross River Rail’s new underground Roma Street Station and Brisbane Live.
Preliminary works on the site will begin in 2019 and the demolition will take place in late 2020.
The Brisbane Live arena is being developed by AEG Worldwide and consultancy firm Deloitte has been appointed to the urban renewal project with sport and architecture firm Populous engaged to design the arena. The architecture firm has previously designed the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and London’s O2 Arena.
Brisbane Live is being planned as an 18,000-seat world-class arena in the Roma Street precinct, which is expected to become Queensland’s premier entertainment venue hosting major live concerts and sporting events.
Similar to Madison Square Garden in New York City, or Melbourne’s Federation Square, the new precinct complex would make use of valuable air space above existing rail lines as well as the connectivity that Roma Street has to every rail line in the SEQ rail network with no land swap or sale required.
The masterplan put forward by AEG-Ogden features a sliding front wall that opens to reveal live acts on stage, the $450 million arena will also include a 4000-capacity rock club and be surrounded by multiplex cinemas, restaurants and bars, and a giant screen and amphitheatre catering for around 15,000 people.

Domestic Heat Pump Installation
Reason For Installing Heat Pump
Due to building regulations and running costs being much cheaper than fossil fuels. Also, there is no fuel to worry about during operation, it really is a self-sufficient system.
Installed in 2011. An 18kW 3 phase, 5 star efficient Stiebel Eltron air source heat pump with four solar thermal collector panels on the south facing roof. Underfloor heating installed with a solar and buffer tank to provide instant hot water.
Fuel cost saving up to 40%.
House is warm all the time and lots of hot water.


It is the service of determining all the details such as expenses, risks, feasibility, project design, land and ground analysis, raw material need, with the pre-feasibility study we do before the building investment to be made.
While determining the possible costs that will arise with this preparation, the compatibility of the building with the environmental conditions is also calculated. In this way, all necessary information can be collected before the project.
Another important service we offer as a preliminary preparation before the project design and licensing phase is the “preliminary project” service. In other words, we can call it a demo project.
Considering the current conditions of the building we want to build, we create it as a preliminary project. Then, after preparing it and submitting it to the municipality, we check the compliance with the legislation by the report committee, and if there is no problem, we move on to the actual licensing stage at the license stage.
The preliminary project is the project prepared after the compliance of the building with the environmental conditions is approved and after it is approved by the relevant public institutions.
It is the latest project of the building ready to be sent to the relevant authority for licensing. As Megarom, we also serve you in license projects.
It is the service of modeling the project in 3D. It is done in order to determine its aesthetics in the visual sense, to determine its compatibility with the environment and to reveal its architectural features.
It is of great importance for the determination and appreciation of the final visual state of the building. It is also an indispensable preview for your visual predictions.
