Sustainable building stock: Renovation, not demolition
Is your building getting a bit outdated? Perhaps it has an old heating system, leaky windows, or virtually no insulation? If that sounds familiar, you might want to consider a renovation. You could insulate it with contemporary heating, for example, or include modern building technology and floor plans. You need good renovation plans and decent funding to improve the energy efficiency and design of a building.
Maintenance and modernisation

There are many buildings in Germany that are not equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The result: high levels of energy consumption, high heating costs, reduced quality of life – and harm to the climate and the environment. The majority of buildings in Germany were constructed prior to the first Thermal Insulation Ordinance in 1978, leaving many of them now in need of renovation, certainly when it comes to the building’s energy consumption.
Building renovation is defined as the structural and technical restoration, or modernisation of one or several floors or even an entire existing structure. On the one hand, it can focus on maintenance, but also on resolving flaws (partial renovation). Often, antiquated equipment and building technology is replaced and supplemented by a contemporary and modern design (full renovation).
Playing a major role in renovations are: windows and doors
As part of a renovation, the outer shell of a building, walls, roof, and floors are often fitted with thermal insulation. In addition, windows and doors, the heating system, the electrics, and sanitary facilities are usually renovated, removed or replaced.
Energy-efficient renovation pays off
Energy-focused renovation is an important component in achieving the climate targets of the German Federal Government and the EU. More than 18 million residential buildings and around 1.7 non-residential buildings in Germany (e.g. office buildings, company buildings, hospitals, schools, universities, sports centres, theatres, and churches) should be pretty much ’climate-neutral’ by 2050, meaning they will produce virtually no CO2. Energy-related renovations of non-residential buildings often pay for themselves fairly quickly, as they usually need far more energy than residential buildings. Professional renovation and modern building technology can sometimes reduce energy consumption by up to 80 per cent.
Furthermore, the German government provides funding for residential and non-residential building renovations via the KfW banking group. Development funds in the form of loans and subsidies are available for full renovations or also for individual measures such as insulation, replacing windows, air-conditioning units, and building automation.
KfW funding for building renovation
Via the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), the German Federal Government supports building renovations for private individuals, companies, and local authorities in the form of loans or investment grants. The basic criteria for obtaining funding is that the renovation leads to the KfW Efficiency House standard. The KfW Efficiency House is a technical standard that the KfW applies to its financing products. Various figures indicate how high the property’s annual primary energy requirement is compared to a similar new building. Note: The lower the figure, the greater the energy efficiency and the higher the subsidy.
- KfW energy efficiency programme - energy-efficient building and renovation (reduce energy costs in commercial buildings)
- Energy-efficient renovation (for renovation to a KfW efficient house or individual energy-related measures)
- Age-appropriate renovation (measures for reducing barriers and safeguards against burglary)
- In addition, there are also KfW subsidies for smart home systems as part of age-appropriate renovations, or as an additional measure when carrying out energy-related renovation work.
- Energy-efficient building and renovation (for energy-related renovation of existing buildings within communal and social infrastructure, no residential buildings).
- Barrier-free town (for barrier-reducing measures, via which existing communal and public buildings, traffic facilities, and public spaces can be renovated in an age-appropriate and family-friendly manner.)
Advice is also subsidised
A KfW subsidy is often subject to an energy efficiency expert being involved . This means, for example, that private individuals and local authorities can receive KfW assistance (subsidy for construction support) if an energy efficiency expert provides planning and construction support.
Renovation for improved safety, fire protection, and accessibility
The primary aim of renovations is of course to implement energy-saving measures – and because of the many forms of subsidies available. However, a change of use may also be a reason for renovation. This often leaves the owners with other issues to make decisions about. For example, if the building no longer satisfies modern safety and fire protection standards when being converted into a children’s day nursery. Or if modern usage calls for a different floor plan. Renovations may also be carried out to create barrier-free access and make a building suitable for disabled people to live and work in.
KfW funding allows owners to also redesign their building at the same time as making it more energy efficient. This means that an old building can be renovated to become a smart building.
GEZE provides support during renovation work
GEZE supports both new-build projects and work on existing buildings by developing and delivering new concepts for energy-saving ventilation technology as well as for fire protection and access for all. Various GEZE products can effectively help with energy saving, including indoor climate control via automated windows, door closers, and through intelligent building networks. GEZE door solutions provide barrier-free ease of access, safe escape routes, and energy efficiency.
Renovation of existing buildings
GEZE solutions aren’t just used in new buildings. With little additional effort, they can also be installed in old or existing buildings - and help save energy and money.
Modernization of a listed building
The new GEZE wireless kit allows you to wirelessly connect the ceiling-mounted detectors and the manual trigger switch to the lintel-mounted detector on all GEZE hold-open systems. It's easy to retrofit. Because separate cable-laying is no longer needed. This makes planning much easier, in particular in listed buildings.

Specific suggestions for building automation and façade renovation
Planning is paramount when carrying out renovations. Ideas and concrete suggestions for building automation and intelligent technical solutions for the façade should be developed as early in the process as possible:
- automatic night-time back cooling
- various opening widths for windows and doors, e.g. with summer/winter setting
- thermally separated, heat-insulated window profiles
Many GEZE products are used in renovations as they can often be installed easily. Automatic swing door systems are, for example, characterised by a simple assembly process and they can also be retrofitted.
It’s a simple and flexible way to stay ahead of the frequently updated DIN standards and technological regulations that have to be adhered to during renovations.
Retro-fitting and updating made easy
Generally speaking, the expected lifetime and useful life of building technology has always been shorter than that of the building itself. Technical systems need to be replaced from time to time. And building technology requirements, building safety in particular, also change as a result of modifications in legislation, for example DIN 18650.
The service experts at GEZE have many years of experience and fully understand all of the demands made of building systems. This is backed by ongoing training on changing regulations and directives. We offer you new future-proof product solutions, starting with the automation of your doors, and through to the equipment or modernisation of your building with escape and rescue route solutions. And of course, we offer you the chance to update or change your drives from other manufacturers.


Here are two tips to follow when using earthmoving equipment whilst landscaping.
Start reusing the collected soil as soon as it's released by the machinery
Many landscapers will reuse the soil that their earthmoving equipment operators dig up for other parts of their projects. If you'll be doing this, you should ensure that you start using the soil as soon as the bulldozer or excavator operator releases it. The way in which you do this will depend on the nature of your landscaping work but might involve, for example, putting the soil into planter pots for planting flowers or using it to make raised beds.
Gathering up the soil that's been moved as soon as the machinery releases it will mean it won't take up space on your work site for the duration of the earthmoving process. This will then mean that if you need to do landscaping work in the area where you're having the soil dropped off, you can begin this work sooner than you would if you left the reutilisation of this soil to the end of the project. Furthermore, it will also prevent the pile of earth that the machinery operator creates from getting dangerously tall to the point where it might collapse onto a nearby object or person.
Minimise the distance between the area from which the soil will be moved and the soil drop-off point
You should aim to make the distance between the area from which the machinery operator will be picking up the soil and the area where they'll be dropping it off as short as possible. The reason for this is that earthmoving equipment operators need to travel fairly slowly when carrying large loads of soil, and the greater the distance between these two points, the longer it will take the operator to drop off each load of soil.
As such you might find that the earthmoving segment of your project takes a very long time if you create an environment that requires the machinery operator to travel, for example, 10 minutes to reach the soil drop-off point (particularly if you have lots of soil that will take them several trips to transport). Additionally, the longer they have to travel with each load of soil, the greater the chance that some of it will fall out of their equipment during one of their journeys. Given this, if you want the operator to do their work quickly, you should aim to make the soil drop-off point as close to the area from which it's being removed as you can.Share


Any addition to buildings, either by means of extension or a second structure, should be sympathetic to the existing building and the immediate streetscape.
If extending an existing building, care should be taken that changes do not alter the character of the original structure. Should a second building be constructed, this should neither dominate the existing structure nor negatively affect the immediate streetscape – rather consider setting the second building back from the existing structure. Alternatively, the extension may be presented as a separate element with a link to the existing structure.
De Rust’s streetscape (the view from the street) and the majority of the buildings have many distinctive features. Developers and owners are requested to take note of these features when altering existing buildings, or when building new structures that impact on the existing streetscape.
✔ Ensure that the building is not out of scale with its surroundings.
✔ Incorporate elements of Oudtshoorn/De Rust’s street architecture in the design.
✔ Keep within the wall plate and roof height restrictions.
✔ Use vertically proportioned windows and ensure that new or replacement windows are stylistically compatible.
✔ Relate your building to the street in a way similar to the surrounding buildings.
✔ Retain the look and shape of the original building, where practical.
✔ Place the garage as a separate entity, set back from the main building.
✘ Build in or enclose an existing street-facing veranda. / stoep
✘ Build fake reconstructions which compete with and devalue genuine buildings (e.g. Cape Dutch).
✘ Use fake thatching, cement roof tiles, large profile fibre-cement sheets, fake sandstone or IBR sheeting on main roofs.
✘ Change the street facade of roofs by putting in unsympathetic dormer windows.
✘ Use un-plastered concrete or face brick of any kind.
✘ Build on top of an existing old wall.
✘ Build solid boundary walls street-side
✘ Erect pre-cast concrete boundary walls or retaining walls.
✘ Remove significant trees or hedges without a very good reason (which, in any case, will require a permit).

By its exceptional properties the product behaves as an intelligent component also for various engineered technical plastic-rubber (TPE) compounds. In the frame of development of upcycling technologies new plastic formulas have been created by the Budapest University of Technology with rubber powder and different technical polymers. The results are various extruded, injectionmoulded and reactive compounded products including fire-retarded and noise/vibration reducing foamed technical materials for different industrial applications. (Detailed technical report is available upon request.)
Rubber-asphalt covered roads are well-known for several decades. Yet it is a considerable drawback for spreading of technology that rubberizing of bitumen with conventional crumb needs special equipment and technology due to inactive chemical properties of the conventional rubber crumb. By application of waterjet rubber granulates a chemically stable rubber bitumen formula has been developed by researchers of the Pannon University and the Hungarian Oil & Gas Company. After successful laboratory experiments the industrial tests produced good quality rubber bitumen for test-roads in different Hungarian towns. Thespecial advantage of chemically-stable rubber bitumen is that there is no need for expensive special equipment for road constructions, as the asphalt pavement can be constructed just with the existing conventional machinery.
„Due to the support of the Norwegian Grants, AquaJet Ltd. has finalized their plant developments. By launching a new production line and renewing the existing ones, the plant is now capable of producing up to 770 tons of waterjet-milled rubber powder.
The project was implemented within the framework of the Norwegian Green Industry Innovation Program, the Fund received HUF 412 million in non-refundable aid to the company. The total cost of development amounted to HUF 750 million.
Through Norway Grants and EEA Grants, Norway’s purpose is to reduce social and economic disparities and strengthening of bilateral relations with the recipient countries in Europe. Norway’s contribution in the period 2009-2015 amounted to EUR 1.7 billion. The main areas of support include environmental protection and climate change, research and scholarships, civil society, health, equal opportunities for children and gender, justice and the protection of cultural heritage.”

Acela Introduces Purpose-Built Flood Rescue Trucks
By Chad Elmore29 March 2018
Acela Truck Co. has introduced rescue trucks that have been purpose-built for agencies operating in flood-prone areas. The Bozeman, Mont.-based manufacturer has added high-water rescue and response trucks to its line of Monterra 4×4 and 6×6 truck chassis.
With 47 in. tires and 23 in. of ground clearance, all-wheel-drive, waterproof alternator and starter and a proprietary fording kit, the flood rescue variants are capable of fording 50 in. of water, said the company, while carrying up to 20 seated passengers (including driver) with room for pets, personal property or rescue gear.
Monterra trucks can respond at highway speeds of 74 mph for situations that require long-distance travel, said the company.
Acela said its flood rescue trucks were inspired by company president, David Ronsen, a retired firefighter who has responded to dozens of catastrophic flooding events.
“I know first-hand how frustrating it is for local fire, law enforcement, EMS, EMA, and search and rescue agencies to be faced with the challenges of having to rescue thousands of their customers without proper flood rescue equipment”, said Ronsen. “Acela’s product design team committed to designing an incredibly capable new tool for first responders to reliably and safely impact hundreds of people a day.”

Carbon Zero Consulting is lucky to have a high level of in-house expertise in all aspects of water quality, water and wastewater treatment.
We can quickly get to grips with water and wastewater issues and offer advice on treatment processes or alternative approaches to address water quality problems.
Our advice has been utilised by many clients in many ways – ranging from treatment of domestic borehole water, investigation of major contamination incidents through to design and installation of industrial water treatment processes.
Recent projects include:
- Analysing water samples and specifying treatment processes for a large food factory to re-use water from an old borehole.
- Assessment of water quality problems at a large rural estate that had utilised spring water for over 100 years. Following much investigation and analysis we provided the works necessary to upgrade the pumping, treatment and distribution systems needed to bring the supply back to modern regulatory standards.


Southern Water and Soil, Inc., recently installed a new septic system for a RV Park in Dade City, Florida. SWS engineered the septic system, installed the septic system, and maintains the septic system. Providing a one-stop shop for the septic system needs helps SWS stay ahead of the competion.
SWS installs innovative and cost effective septic systems that work and save our clients money. Septic system design and engineering is very important to the functioning of the septic system. Providing education to the customer about their septic tank is what we strive to do. If you have questions about your septic system or would like a professional to explain the options for your septic needs then call SWS.
Through the use of Geoflow drip irrigation, Norweco treatment systems, filters by Bear Onsite, controls by Orenco Systems, and other design considerations SWS provides solid septic system design and installations.
This installation was quite tedious because we had to permit the system through the Florida’s Bureau of Onsite Sewage and the Pasco County Health Department. SWS provided the owner’s with septic engineering and permitting. Prior to permitting and engineering SWS was able to provide the owner’s with a construction cost. This helps the owner’s determine the best options for their septic system needs.
The treatment tanks were installed and the existing plumbing was tied into the new treatment system. This septic system added additional capacity for the RV Park. Now as other septic tanks in the facility begin to fail these systems are added to the new system through a modification permit.
Another note is that the drainfield dispersal using drip irrigation is very flexible. We were able to install the drip system around the trees that were onsite. Geoflow drip irrigation has a patened technology that can keep the roots from getting into the drip emitters.
So, if you want a septic system designed to last and expect quality septic parts and pieces to be installed. Then have SWS design and install your septic system.

Not many overpasses are like Vance Creek Bridge. At a dizzying 347-feet-tall over a forested valley, this abandoned viaduct on the Olympic Peninsula is the 2nd highest railway arch bridge ever built in the United States. The overpass gained popularity online a few years back and even became dubbed as #ThatNWBridge. Walking across is just as dangerous as it looks, and even though it’s now closed to the public and located on private property – it still hasn’t stopped some hikers and thrill-seekers from visiting.
Vance Creek Bridge was originally built in 1929 by the Simpson Logging Company. Spanning 422 feet long over the Skokomish River, the beautifully-designed viaduct provided loggers easier access to Washington’s dense forests. But the logging industry slowly began to decline by the 1950s, and it wasn’t before long until the bridge was eventually abandoned. See this satellite image and map of the Vance Creek Abandoned Bridge.
Several miles north on the same rail line, the company also built the High Steel Bridge near Shelton in 1929. It’s a bit taller than Vance Creek Bridge – at 427 feet high – over the south fork of the Skokomish River, and is still used today as the highest railway arch bridge ever built in the country.
Vance Creek Bridge may be on private property now, but at least we can still catch the mind-blowing views through photos and drone footage – like this short clip from Reeewaj on Youtube:
The views from here are just insane. Have you been to the Vance Creek Bridge before? We’d love to hear about your experience below.

Just about every person on earth is familiar with the red, yellow and green colors utilized on traffic lights. However,, a tiny contingent will understand exactly how these particular color options came to be chosen.
A number of people thought that the origination of traffic light color schemes are really spotted in maritime past history.
For sailors to regulate the method in which ships passed by each other, a color scheme custom of red for the left side or "port" side of the vessel along with dark-green for the right hand aspect or "starboard" side of the ship was developed.
This color convention indicated that a ship to the larboard of another on its right hand surface, was required to stop and make it possible for the other vessel to go across across it in the first instance.
In truth, the traffic light colours we know in today's times, originate from the train profession! Because railroad builders created the 3 color scheme etiquette to supervise transportation on the railway network The colour red was really utilized because it stands for a hazard, it's bright and could be readily observed by folks and catch their eye.
Railway builders also employed 2 other color options on top of that. Dark-green which was usually a symbolic representation for caution plus white which meant it was very safe to move forward.
However, early designs of the methodology were really problematical simply because filters were employed inside the traffic light signalling systems which helped make color schemes very hard to determine in daytime, or beneath moonlight as well as street lights.
Because from a long way away, they appeared to be simply bright white, in these particular scenarios many other light energy sources were without a doubt regularly misconstrued as a moving ahead indicator. Thanks to this, railway managers decided to endorse the shade to denote vigilance and green to go forward.
These days, arrays of traffic signal are commonplace at busy crossings in city locations as well as on freeways or even in small towns and also villages. At the present time, the wide-spread norm for traffic control colours is red, green and yellow. Dark-green which indicates go on or proceed, red stands for halt or stop and also yellow which comes between either the green and red as a notice that the lights are about to switch from red to dark-green or vice versa.
During the earlier decades of their use, the colour transition sequence of traffic lights was pre-set. This was normally regularly bothersome since a number of car or truck drivers could draw near a set of traffic lights without additional cars on the road.
After that, these individuals would suffer from a dark-green light changing to red. Immediately after which, the motorist had to wait in frustration until the traffic lights eventually changed to green regardless of the simple fact that little other traffic was nearby that needed to move across in front of their motor vehicle!
Prevailing motor vehicle traffic conditions are employed to configure the time periods at which the traffic lights change colors. In some cases, a much longer interval is scheduled for traffic entering a bustling main road from a secondary service road, so as to try to keep the movement of traffic moving much better on the main road.
Much more advanced systems use computer system controls to monitor traffic flow and adjust time shift intervals in line with current traffic status. This kind of more modern technique means that traffic light intervals do not need to be prearranged so that they are able to react in a variable manner to the existence of cars in every direction that the lights regulate.
To perform this, present day traffic light solutions make use of sensing units that are buried beneath the road surface. Then, these types of sensing units detect the steel in motor vehicles passing on the highway above. And then, send out a cue to a pc positioned in a nearby control module.
Should the control module sense an an accumulation of traffic in the other direction, it will cue the traffic lights taking care of the adjacent street with less vehicles to show a yellow then blood-red light causing vehicle traffic to stop on that particular street and then an amber then green traffic light to enable the traffic on the busier street to progress.
After that, the waiting traffic movement is dissipated. Such traffic control technologies allow continual observation of traffic circumstances and matching adjustment of traffic light changes to ensure the very best possible flow of vehicles along the streets they're safeguarding.


Hydroelectric power is a renewable source of energy. It involves the release of kinetic energy by moving water in a controlled manner.
When considering the best reliable power sources for homes, it’s important to note that it is an abundant source. There is very little wasted energy, and most of the energy can be reused to fuel machinery. Hydroelectric power is an easy and affordable way to power machinery in most homes. With so many types of machines needing electricity, hydroelectric power can supply the power needed.
There are a wide range of methods used to generate hydroelectric power. Generally, two main categories of this power are used to provide power for homes.
These methods utilize falling water into the ground as light sources to heat water. The resulting liquid is directed at a turbine, which in turn powers a generator to produce electrical energy.
This method involves large structures known as hydrothermal vents. Hydrothermal vents are holes in the earth where molten magma and hot rocks are forcing upwards, and where hot water flows under great pressure. The temperature and pressure of these materials are high enough to cause the material to flow up through the hole, and therefore discharge its heat to the surface below.
The steam rising up from these vents is then directed into a plant houses steam turbines. While using these vents for electricity is not common, it is used in some applications.
They produce huge volumes of steam, which can provide the energy needed for a variety of purposes. In addition, these plants can be used to generate heating and cooling in a variety of situations.
The vents process can be used to produce pure heat, or other forms of energy. The different types of power from these vents include: heating water, making steam, generating electricity, and waterfalls. These vents are commonly used to produce electricity for domestic use.
Some power plants are specialized for producing more than one type of power. Some examples of such a plant are the Mission power plant located in California, and the Hamilton power plant located in Ohio.
Each hydroelectric power plant has its own unique characteristics. They each differ in both design and size. The larger the event, the more electricity it produces.
The modern hydroelectric power plants are designed to do all types of electrical work. Therefore, the advantages of using this type of power have become more apparent.
Before it was harnessed, hydroelectric power was used by the natives to create heat and light for their homes. It was discovered after that it could be utilized for electricity when the Native Americans were exposed to lightning. So it was originally used for lighting, and eventually this power was harnessed for electrical use.


Miami Dade Approved Hurricane and Flood Resistant Housing to the Rescue
Solving Florida’s Hurricane and flood damaged areas quickly with a far superior zero wood building system
Las Vegas Nevada (PRWEB) October 08, 2022 – In Case of Hurricane, Flood or Fire, reach out to Eco-friendly GigaCrete Building Systems, designed to survive.
Category 5 Hurricane approved. Zero Wood. Super-insulated (R28-60). Fire resistant. Flood resistant. Mold/mildew resistant. Fast and economical build. The perfect replacement home following a Hurricane, Flood or Fire.
Las Vegas based GigaCrete, Inc., a leader in next generation building materials technology, developed the disaster-resilient GigaCrete Building System.
Miami Dade was the first county in Florida to certify hurricane resistant standards for structures (HVHZ). The GigaCrete Building System, a patented steel-framed insulated panel system, easily passed the Miami Dade County Category 5 Hurricane testing with sustained wind speeds of 245mph (394km/hr) which was their test equipment maximum capability, without failure (Cf. NOA #19-0326.04 & NOA #20-0922.04).
Andrew Dennis, inventor, and founder of GigaCrete, Inc., stated, “GigaCrete homes have withstood some of the worst Atlantic basin hurricanes on record including Joaquin Cat-4, Matthew Cat-5, Irma Cat-5, Maria Cat-5, and Dorian Cat-5.”
GigaCrete’s woodfree, super-insulated, energy-miser homes resist not only hurricanes but also floods, wildfires, a recent 5.8 earthquake on Guam without a single crack (Zone 4), noise (STC 52), salt spray, insects, and vermin. As an option, “the house can be made bulletproof by using our BallistiCrete the World’s first ballistic rated wall plaster,” Dennis added.
If flooded, a low-pressure water wash of interior/exterior walls puts the waterproof house back into service as a home. GigaCrete’s proprietary non-Portland surface coatings, resistant to abuse and impact (3500psi exterior and 8500psi interior), do not support the growth of mold or mildew.
The GigaCrete Building System is shipped to the jobsite as a pre-engineered materials kit. All components can be carried by hand. Pre-cut components fit together with minimal measuring, allowing foolproof assembly by low-skill labor using simple tools. GigaCrete’s patented system may take a day or two to erect on a prepared concrete slab. From prepared slab to turnkey is measured in weeks not months.
“Typical stick-built houses that get in the way of powerful hurricane-force winds and gusts usually end up as un-repairable structures or as a debris field of pick-up sticks,” said Dennis.
To compound matters, stick-built houses inundated by storm surges or floodwaters serve as de facto Petri dishes for toxic mold and mildew; damp wood and drywall support their growth. Wet fiber glass insulation between the wood studs loses its effectiveness and must be replaced.
This litany of failure as applied to stick-built begs the question, “Why are stick-built homes still constructed in known high-risk zones with hurricanes, storm surges, and floods, not to mention wildfires?”

The Stormwater Utility maintains approximately 2,386 catch basins, 311 manholes and 59.03 miles of underground pipe. The City of Ellensburg operates a stormwater utility whose revenues pay for cleaning the system street sweeping, operation and maintenance, capital projects, including such activities such as the Illicit Discharge Elimination Program, and providing public education on the effects of stormwater on water quality in our rivers and streams.
Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination is performed by monitoring stormwater in Wilson and Mercer Creek twice a week for temperature, bacteria, and flow. We respond to all citizen inquiries, and investigate, as needed.
We inspect swales post construction on an annual basis.
Operation and Maintenance crews inspect and clean 2386 catch basins, 311 manholes and 49.03 miles of pipe every four years. Since 2013, the system has been cleaned in its entirety.
Future floodplain: The Utility has acquired 5 lots west of Enterprise way at CenterPoint Business Park in 2018. The acquisition was funded by the Department of Ecology’s Floodplain BY Design program. In 2021, the Utility bonded $5 million to buy 56 acres above the business lots to build a 35-foot box culvert at the base of Enterprise Way to move floodwaters south of Dolarway into the existing floodplain protected by a levee. The culvert was completed in 2023. Once the levee is constructed up to the railway, flooding in West Ellensburg will be mitigated. Anticipated project completion is 2024.
Gateway I Project: The Utility received a notification of grant award from the Washington State Department of Ecology in the amount of up to $2.7 million dollars to fund work along University Way (from Wenas Street to the Red Horse Diner) resulting in the treatment and infiltration of approximately two miles of stormwater. The project features the installation of curb rock lined swales along with decorative street trees, and pedestrian/bicycle paths on both sides. The project reached substantial completion in 2023. The contractor will be back in spring 2024 to complete a punch list and the project will be finalized in 2024.

Single-ply flat roofs are composed of a single layer of a plastic or rubber-like compound. Some of the more popular materials used today are thermoplastic poly-olefin (TPO) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which are both very good at reflecting heat, which saves on cooling costs in the building. Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is also popular because it also cools well when white EPDM is used, and it is easy to install. Rubberised asphalt is also used. Single-ply roof systems, depending on the materials, can be self-adhered, applied with hot asphalt or installed by heating the back of the material with a torch. Warranties for single-ply roofs usually are for 10 to 12 years but can last 50+
Multiple-ply roof systems are also known as built-up roofs (BUR). These are made by overlapping rolls of felt or mats that are alternated with layers of asphalt. This is covered by a granular mineral surface, ballast or tile to protect the layers. These roofs can last 10 to 30 years.
A modified bitumen roof is a multiple-ply roof that is made with modified bituminous membranes, which are made out of a blend of asphalt and a polymer. This allows the asphalt to take on characteristics of the polymer, which is similar to materials used in single-ply roofs. The modified bitumen roof is covered in a mineral or gravel surface, or a liquid coating that provides reflectivity.
Flat-seamed metal roofs are made out of small sheets of metal that are soldered together. The sheets are usually designed to look like tile or shingles. The most common metals used for roofs today are copper, lead-coated copper or stainless steel. Metal roofs are light and reflect heat well, but are more expensive.

Brother plumbing fixtures: What you need to know
You need to be able to get the water running to your house and you need a plumbing fixture that does the job.
Here are some of the most common types of plumbing fixtures and how they can help you save money.1.
Pump and pipe fittings1.1 The pipe fitting is the part that supplies the water to the pipe.
It’s also known as a pipe sealant or a pipe liner.
It works by making sure that the pipe is sealed against air before it goes into the house.
For this reason, the fittings should be made of steel or a high-quality plastic material.
If they’re made of plastic, you’re better off buying a pump.1-2.
Tiles, panels, and flooring1.2 The tiles, panels and floor can be used to fill up gaps between the pipes and make them easier to use.
They can also be used as a sink drain.
Most homebuilders recommend installing a tile or panel as a drain or sink drain before the plumbing fixtures are installed.1,2,3.
Bathtub flushing1.3 Flushing toilets is the process of cleaning the toilet with water.
It is also known in the plumbing industry as a bathtub flush.
Flushing a toilet is a process that is usually done by pumping water into the toilet bowl and using a toilet brush to brush the water into it.
It will cause the water level to drop so that the toilet can flush.1Cleaning a toilet by pumping is much easier than using a vacuum cleaner or a water-based bleach.
The amount of water to be flushed is less than the amount of dirt that is left in the toilet.
However, the water should be turned on to a low setting before doing a flush.
If it is, you will need to drain the toilet and flush the toilet water.1A toilet flush is usually a waste of money if you don’t use it, but if you do, it can save you money.
If you have a bath or shower, you may need to use it every two to three months, depending on the amount you use.
If the toilet is left open and you don


Engineer, Idrostudi srl
Stefano Fiorindo holds a M.Sc in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Trieste, Italy. His Master Thesis was entitled “The Water Distribution Systems sectorization: an innovative approach based on genetic algorithms and modularity concept” and was developed under the supervision of Prof. Luigino Zovatto in collaboration with Idrostudi Srl. In 2017 he was granted a fellowship by the AREA Science Park of Trieste for the R&D and scientific training activities. He currently works at Idrostudi Srl performing advanced methodologies for the Water Distribution Systems management.
The Water Distribution Systems (WDS) are strategic infrastructures that supply water to cities, industries, and agriculture. The water networks usually have an hyperconnected layout in order to ensure that the water demand of every user is always satisfied, but such redundant configuration makes the water leakages identification and the emergency acting in case of accidental contamination or bursts more complex. In the recent years a novel approach based on network segmentation in DMA (District Metered Areas) was proposed in the literature, providing important benefits in terms of infrastructure management, but with potential drawbacks in terms of system reliability if not well designed. A novel automatic optimization approach for the water supply network segmentation has been implemented using the ModeFrontier platform, allowing to overcome the classic trial and error approach. The innovative approach evaluates multiple configurations of flowmeters and closing valves locations along the water supply network providing the user a set of solutions that maximize both the system management efficiency and the network reliability. The successful application to a real case of study has proven the capability of the methodology for the optimal WDS segmentation.
