During a home inspection, the deck is evaluated in terms of safety, rather than code compliance, since the home inspection is not a code inspection.
If connections are poor, railings too low, or supports undersized, they are identified as safety issues. In addition to safety, a home inspection would report on wood rot and deterioration.
It is important to keep in mind that there may be regulations requiring a building permit and/or a code to which the deck must adhere.
There are many aspects of a deck that should be considered when discussing the structure. These include: joists, beams, post size, supports, spacing, decking thickness, guard/railing height, and spindle spacing.
All of these elements work together and are especially important when a deck is high off the ground or supporting large loads.

What is Geothermal Energy?
Geothermal power is harnessed from the earth. In Greek geo means earth and therme means heat. The words earth and heat define what geothermal energy is. Geothermal power plants harness the heat from the earth to produce electricity.
Geothermal power plants utilize hydrothermal energy to create a very clean source of energy. Hydrothermal energy is water sources in the form of steam or hot water obtained from below the earth's surface.
How do Geothermal Power Plants Produce Electricty?
Power plants produce geothermal energy by utilizing geothermal dry steam or geothermal hot water accessed by digging wells. Dry steam or hot water is brought to the surface through pipes and processed into electricity in the power plant.
There are three different ways that power plants process geothermal energy. The three different methods are dry steam, flash steam and binary-cycle. All three methods use steam to power a turbine which drives a generator that produces electricity.
Dry steam geothermal power plants use steam that is brought from below the earth's surface through pipes, directly to the power plants turbines.
Flash steam geothermal power plants use hot water that is brought from below the earth's surface. The hot water is sprayed into a tank and creates steam.
Binary-cycle geothermal plants use moderate temperature water from a geothermal source and combine it with another chemical to create steam. The steam powers the turbine that drives the generator to create electricity.
Pros and Cons of Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy. The drawback is that geothermal power plants are expensive to build and more expensive to operate than coal power plants. Wells have to be dug to access hydrothermal energy.
However, there is no definite way to locate hydrothermal energy and so a lot of guesswork is involved when digging wells. Wells cost millions of dollars to dig. Currently, the United States only uses approximately one percent of its hydrothermal resources.
The Future of Geothermal Energy
With current technology, geothermal power plants can only be built where steam or hot water geothermal sources exist. Scientists are working on ways to create cost efficient power plants that can use the geothermal sources created from the earth's magma.
Other Uses for Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy has uses besides the production of electricity in power plants. Geothermal sources of hot water can be used to heat buildings. Hot water is pumped through pipes located in the building walls to heat the building. Geothermal hot water can also be used as a household hot water source. Geothermal hot water does not need to be heated and is therefore a clean and cheap source of hot water. The majority of Iceland uses geothermal sources of hot water for a household hot water source and to heat buidlings.

Arsenic is part of the natural composition of minerals found in the soil and rocks in certain regions of Paracatu and geological formation of Morro do Ouro, where Kinross operates.
The whole mining process in Morro de Ouro is controlled and monitored, and in compliance with the law, to ensure the quality of water, air and soil of the surrounding area. It is important to note that Kinross does not use chemical products containing arsenic or heavy metals like mercury in its production processes.
Kinross follows well-established mining practices to prevent the release of arsenic during the mining process.
Arsenic is naturally present in the ore and remains in its original mineral form. During the mining process, it is disposed in lined, specifically designed disposal facilities called “special tanks”. These tanks are lined with an impermeable sheet of plastic (PEAD) and covered with ferric clay. The tailings are stored in water to prevent oxidization and the release of arsenic into the air. They do not generate dust.
Very little arsenic-bearing material is discharged to the main, unlined tailings dams. Water treatment of drainage helps maintain arsenic concentrations below detectable levels in the main tailings dam.
All of our facilities and activities are covered by the appropriate environmental impact assessments and permits, which together with Kinross´s own standards and protocols, helps to ensure that any arsenic exposure is properly controlled and diminished.
As noted by researchers from the Federal University of Minas Gerais and the University of Queensland, the amount of arsenic in airborne dust and soil is “insignificant,” or less than 5% in terms of the overall arsenic exposure in Paracatu.
Regular monitoring by Kinross as well as independent analysis by CETEM has found no ground water or surface water contamination from Kinross operations.
Santo Antonio and Estaquio Tailings Dams
Regular monitoring of the water immediately downstream of the tailings dam shows arsenic levels to be below detection and water quality to be well within regulatory limits. Kinross’ monitoring is consistent with the results of the CETEM study, which found water quality in the Santo Antônio Creek downstream of the dam to be well within regulatory benchmarks.
For Kinross to be responsible for elevated arsenic levels in local rivers, the water quality immediately downstream of the tailings dam would necessarily have to reflect elevated arsenic levels, above Brazilian regulatory benchmarks, as well. Rather, these streams have been subject to uncontrolled, informal garimpeiro mining for nearly 300 years, which has caused significant environmental damage. This damage, which predated Kinross, has nothing to do with our operations.


Optimizing Rail and Rolling Stock Monitoring
From the identification of third party intrusion and hostile activity on railway property to the detection of service-affecting rockfall events we enable railway owners and operators across the globe to improve the performance of their assets.
The railway environment is filled with many localized sensors, designed to monitor specific faults. These sensors are often very costly and complex to deploy over the entire network. Our fiber-optic sensing technology helps asset owners and operators balance their reliance on existing sensing solutions with the need for economical route-wide coverage by converting existing fiber optic cable into an array of intelligent sensors which enables them to monitor the entire route and gain accurate and current insight on the status of all their critical infrastructure.
Railway Solutions and Applications
Prevention of trespassing, vandalism and theft is one of the most critical priorities for railway owners and operators. The OptaSense Railway Security Solution detects human activity around tracks and critical sites and identifies hostile activity such as cable theft. The railway security solution complements and increases the effectiveness of existing security measures such as CCTV, physical barriers, signage and security patrols.
Rockfall and Landslide Monitoring
Falling rocks and landslide events pose a substantial safety threat and cause significant problems for railways. The Sense Railway Rockfall and Landslide Solution accurately and reliably detects service affecting rockfall and landslide events and overcomes the operational limitations of alternative solutions such as slide fences.

Kolyu Ficheto’s Bridge over the Yantra River – Byala
The Byala Bridge is situated at the northeastern part of the town of Byala, Ruse Municipality. It was built over the Yantra River in 1865-1867 on the orders of Mithat Pasha, Vali of the Danube Vilayet. Its construction was necessitated by the new road crossing the Yantra River at the town of Byala that connected Ruse, the main town of the Danube Vilayet, with Tsargrad, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
Polish engineer Lyudmil Rola who was in Mithat Pasha’s employment demanded to be paid 3 million groschen in order to build the bridge, while master Kolyu Ficheto, the most famous master builder from the Bulgarian Revival Period, agreed to construct it in exchange of 700 000 groschen and he put his honour and life at stake.
First, master Kolyu Ficheto set about making a wax model of the bridge, in order to calculate how much money would the construction cost. This was the only project for which the master builder prepared a model. While he was building the bridge at Byala, Kolyu Ficheto also completed The Holy Trinity Church in the town of Svishtov.
Blacksmiths from Gabrovo, woodworkers and stone-cutters from Tryavna and Dryanovo, and peasants from Byala all helped for the construction of the bridge. It is 276 m long and 9.5 m wide, supported by 13 props and it has 14 arches. A marble slab with an Arabic inscription is set in the middle of the bridge.
The stone bridge at Byala is a remarkable piece of work from the Bulgarian Revival Period. The props are decorated with sculptures of symbolic creatures, such as gryphon, lion, nymph, and swan. The bridge is a true piece of art. It is a unique combination of architecture and sculpture. uch ornaments were used only for the decoration of buildings before the completion of the bridge. The rough stonework of the bridge is faced with thick, well-finished limestone. The abutment walls have wavy ends. Each abutment wall resembles a building facade, the bridge spans are shaped as open and closed windows.
On behalf of the Sultan, Mithat Pasha decorated the master builder with the Order of the Medjidie, gave him 50 thousand groschen and a large piece of land in Tarnovo.
The western half of the bridge was destroyed during the big flood in 1897. In 1922-1923 a concrete extension was built replacing the demolished part of the bridge. In 1977 a sculpture of the builder was erected there.
The bridge was declared an architectural monument of art and culture by virtue of Protocol No 3 of the National Council for the Protection of Monuments of Culture of 10 April 2000.
The bridge at Yovkovtsi Village over Veselina River is a prototype of the Byala Bridge.

Sewage Backups Happen
Sewer systems are typically gravity based and flow through a main trunk line. When a sudden heavy rainstorm overloads the main sewer system sewers can backup into homes and business.
How a Backwater Valve helps protect you from Flooding
A mainline backwater valve can help prevent sewage in an overloaded main sewer line from backing up into your basement. Placed directly into the sewer lateral in your basement, the valve automatically closes if sewage backs up from the main sewer line.

TEDAGUA is to contribute to the urban development of the city of Jaén (Peru) by improving the drinking water and drainage systems
The Peruvian province of Jaén, located in the north of the country in the Cajamarca district, will be the beneficiary of a new drainage project for the city that will be carried out in collaboration with Tedagua. The project will consist of the improvement and expansion of the city's sewer and drinking water systems. This project seeks to improve the basic conditions of hygiene for citizens and also provide access to safe drinking water to improve the health and quality of life in the district.
As the development bodies of this undertaking, the team from Tedagua, which forms part of the Cobra Group, along with the Regional Government of Cajamarca, will be responsible for carrying out the project for the Improvement and Expansion of the Drinking Water, Sewerage, and Wastewater Treatment Systems in the City of Jaén, in the Cajamarca Department.
The project budget is 94,581,649.71 Nuevos Soles (approximately 25 million euros), which will be financed by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the aforementioned governmental entities.
The estimated completion time for the works is fourteen months plus two months for commissioning. Upon completion of the project, the availability of drinking water for the city will increase substantially following the construction of four new reservoirs with a total capacity of 6,050 m3 and the expansion of the existing drinking water treatment plant (DWTP), which will increase from 14,500 to 40,000 m3/day. An 87 km network of pipes, with diameters ranging from 110 mm to 450 mm, will be installed to distribute this water, along with 7,400 new household connections, and the rehabilitation of another 1,580 existing connections.
Likewise, the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) will be expanded and more than 80 km of sewer conduits will be installed, with diameters ranging between 150 and 750 mm, with more than 6,600 new service connections and the rehabilitation of the existing 4,700 connections, providing the circuit required for proper wastewater treatment.
The benefits and improvements that this project will provide to the community in Jaén are undeniable. In fact, the authorities involved agree that this will be a historic project in the country's inland cities in terms of the investment, number of beneficiaries, job creation, and above all, because the results will be reflected in the health of the population.

ConMonity – IoT platform for real-time monitoring of concrete hardening
European Regional Development Fund Operational Programme “Growth and Employment”. 1.2.1. specific support goal “To increase Investments of Private Sector in R&D” ; measure 22.214.171.124. “Support for Improvement of Technology Transfer System” Project “Industrial inertial wireless sensor” Nr. KC-PI-2020/58
Why do we care about the concrete hardening process?
After water concrete is the most widely used substance on the planet claims The Guardian. It’s extremely robust, durable, versatile, and malleable – all at the same time. Concrete is the foundation of modern development, putting roofs over the heads of billions, fortifying our defences against natural disasters, and providing a structure for healthcare, education, transport, energy, and industry. Yet there’s a catch.
From the time wet concrete is being poured, and throughout the whole life cycle of the concrete product, many important processes, and parameters (such as humidity, temperature, pressure, and load) must be adequately considered to ensure a safe and long-lasting structure.
Material limitations, design and construction practices, and severe environmental exposure conditions can cause concrete to deteriorate, which may result in aesthetic, functional, and/or structural problems.
Therefore, to eliminate the possible damage and even collapse of the construction that is due to the poorly monitored concrete hardening process, we offer technology that allows with high accuracy to monitor various concrete hardening processes and notify about any deviations from the norms, especially the first year after the pouring.
Concrete is subjected to aging, thus monitoring of fresh concrete is crucial. A non-destructive IoT system capable to monitor the concrete hardening process and increase the quality of decisions by providing reliable in-situ information in real-time.
This is important because predicting the behavior of the concrete structures is almost impossible due to a list of influencing factors such as diversity of loads, environmental influence, cyclic seasonal loads, and also the geographical region.
The researchers of the EDI scientific institute have developed an IoT system “ConMonity” which is capable to measure all the necessary parameters (temperature, humidity, and threedimensional stress) of the concrete hardening process in real-time. By using the “ConMonity” solution, any construction company can monitor several different sites at the same time from their headquarters.

Quantification and valuation of the water treatment services of wetlands at a landscape scale
Wetlands are considered to perform a number of ecosystem services, including the improvement of water quality. However, few empirical studies have been carried out on the capacity of wetlands to perform a water treatment function, or on the demand for this function, with the result that most estimates of the value of this service are based on a weak foundation. Furthermore, the measurement of this function is confounded by the complications in trying to assess water quality entering and leaving wetlands because of surface to groundwater interactions.
The aim of this study is to investigate the water treatement capacity of wetlands by means of a landscape-level analysis in which the water quality of rivers is related to the land use and wetland area in their catchment areas. The study is based on measurement of N, P and sediment load for a total of 100 catchment areas for which fine-scale land cover data are available will be sampled in the Western Cape. Sampling will be conducted in August, to capture the main period of wetland influence. The following hypotheses will be tested: (1) Water quality is a function of land use, point source pollution, proportional area of wetlands in the catchment, area of farm dams, and underlying geology. (2) Where wetlands predominate, their impact on water quality and sediment trapping will be measurable. (3) Where natural vegetation predominates, the influence of wetlands will be dampened. (4) Where farm dams predominate, the influence of wetlands may be negligible. The next phase involves the valuation of the treatment capacity of wetlands using the replacement cost method. Data will be collected from South African water treatment plants in order to obtain mean treatment costs, and demand for the service will be rated on the basis of existing data relating to water use downstream. This will be used to modify the replacement costs in order to provide a more realistic estimate of actual value. Data will be analysed using generalized linear modelling to obtain the coefficients pertaining to wetland area. If the model is significant we can theoretically derive the average uptake per ha of wetland and assign a monetary value to this. If not it might be argued that wetlands play a minor role in these catchment areas.

The Lincoln South Beltway Project is currently being constructed from US Highway 77 to Nebraska Highway 2 south and southeast of Lincoln. The 300+ million dollar project is a massive undertaking and required considerable work from History Nebraska (HN) archeologists and preservation associates. The project was investigated as part of HN’s and the Nebraska Department of Transportation’s (NDOT) on going partnership to comply with federal and state historic preservation laws. Considerable survey work had been done on the project in the late 90’s before it went dormant. HN archeologists began work on the project in the summer of 2015 with much of the field work being completed nearly 5 years before construction began.
Between 2015 and 2019 changes and refinements were made to the design of the project. HN archeologists and preservation associates along with their counterparts at NDOT diligently reviewed all the changes as they happened. One such change involving large overhead signs required additional work in the fall of 2019. The large signs have a small but deep footprint. With the help of NDOT, HN archeologists were able to test for deeply buried archeological deposits at the location of the signs. Using a coring machine two soil cores were taken to a depth of ten feet.
The four inch diameter cores were taken back to lab and profiles of the soil layers recorded. The cores were then water screened through 1/16 inch mesh to check for artifacts. Mechanically coring creates rock hard rubes of dirt. The dirt did not want to come out of the tubes, that problem was solved with a hand saw. The water screening was more hands on than usual. Meaning that even after soaking the dirt in buckets the tubes had to be broken up by hand and the clay squished through the screen while it was blasted a hose. No artifacts or anything of interest was found in the cores.

Concrete MaintenanceThe durability and strength of concrete has made it a popular building material. It is often used to create patios, driveways and other areas of homes and businesses. However, as with any material that is exposed to the elements, concrete can deteriorate and require repairs if not maintained.
A well-maintained concrete surface will not only look great, but it can also increase the value of your property. It will send a message to potential buyers and tenants that you care about your surroundings, which can help your home or business stand out from the rest of the competition.
In recent years, the market for decorative concrete has become a very lucrative one. Customers are willing to pay a premium for colorful driveways, walkways and patios that not only look beautiful but are durable and low-maintenance.
Repairing Cracks & Chips
If the concrete in your driveway, sidewalk or other concrete surfaces is damaged, it needs to be repaired right away. This will prevent the damage from getting worse and causing more problems.
Embedded Reinforcing Steel
Many buildings and industrial facilities use embedded reinforcing steel that can corrode over time. This can affect the concrete around it, which will lead to cracks and other structural issues.
Depending on the environment, concrete should be cleaned and sealed at least once a year. This will remove any normal dirt or debris build-up, rust and other stains from the concrete.

Railway Construction Simulator Description
It’s a long level in the first level with the bulldozer in the mix it it’s no way how to put it in I don’t know how to put Here we provide Railway Construction Simulator V 1.3 for Android 4.0++ Here is the most epic treat for construction simulators fans. If you are a fan of how the heavy machinery works experience it yourself in the very realistic construction game and machine simulator of 2017. The railway construction simulator is the best construction game developed for your fun only. You get to drive big and huge machines for fun. You gain knowledge about how these machines work in particular. Experience the advanced controls and tricky challenges that come with the railway construction simulator game.
The goal is to construct railway tracks. To make a path for the train to move, Gain real life experience of how the railway track is constructed. We use heavy machinery for this very sole purpose like Excavators, Fork-lifters, Big Cranes, Rollers, Dozers, Chip Spreaders and Pavers.
First you have to remove the stones to make path for the train clear. You use the Bulldozer to remove the stones from the path so we can have no problem whilst constructing. Secondly we operate the Excavator to dig mud and place mud all over the road. By placing the mud we can provide a smooth and thick surface for the railway path. Then we smooth the road surface with a Roller. A roller is necessary for a smooth and clear path for construction. Then again we use the Excavator to place sand and concrete in the crane and fill it. We have to make Asphalt for Pavement. After making the Asphalt, we drop asphalt on the train pathway. While the asphalt is still hot we use the Roller to fix it in its place to make a strong pathway for train. So we operate the Roller so we can smooth the asphalt on Pavement. After the Pathway looks good to construct upon we use the Fork Lifter to load ladders into the crane. The ladders are important stuff we use in the construction of railway path because they support the heavy weight of train on the tracks and hold the tracks. Then we have to operate the heavy duty machine called the crane. We use the crane to place ladders on railway path. After the crane has done its job, we use the Fork lifter to place the red steel rods to finalize the construction process.
The Train Track looks amazing and the Train is good to move.
if there is any problem please let us know. Write your problem in comment box below.
