Contract Form Contract forms are divided into sections, including the Agreement, the Performance and Payment Bonds, and the Certificates. Division 1 - General Requirements. Storm drainage and ecological considerations should be considered seriously.
Structural Plans The structural plans are prepared by structural engineers and show the structural design of a building. The Appian Way in Rome still exists although it was constructed years ago.
Consideration is also given to how well the completed project relates to adjacent buildings if any and its surroundings. Construction of roads in challenging conditions is no more a difficult tasks because the binding agents and admixtures make Construction technology design processes and procedures possible for the roads to last long and carry the heavy loads without cracking under tough environmental conditions.
These plans are typically numbered sequentially with the prefix "A" for "architectural. Like the structural engineer, the mechanical engineer must design the mechanical building systems to meet building "loads. The plan design includes the distribution of electrical power from the utility company and the distribution to power-specific equipment.
Contracts and Bid Documents In order to solicit construction bids, the builder must provide potential bidders with working drawings and plans for the proposed structure, as well as project specifications, the terms of which are spelled out in contracts.
The preliminary programming produces a list of solutions, alternatives, feasibility studies and costs estimates. Numerous drawing plans are involved in a construction project, including the following. Concept All construction projects begin with planning and design, also referred to as "architectural programming.
History and Procedure written by: Engineering design factors for the overall electrical "load" of a building must also be considered e. Technical Specifications The technical specs are generally prepared for each specific project in the CSI Master Format and these include hundreds, perhaps thousands of individual items that will be installed in the project.
Bulldozers may only be used if the slopes at the sides are not excessively steep. The fill layer is distributed and compacted to the designed specifications. However, work on steep slopes can be accomplished by a bulldozer by using special techniques and expertise.
Each of these stages is discussed below in more detail. Any changes are then incorporated into the final schematic plans.
Time saved is money earned, and that is where construction management techniques are helpful. Electrical plans are numbered with the prefix "E" for "electrical.
Read on to learn more about road construction methods and procedures. Mechanical Plans Mechanical plans are prepared by a mechanical engineer to show the design of the various mechanical systems in the building. Bidding requirements Bidding requirements describe the conditions of the bid to the owner, and encompass the Invitation to Bid, the Instructions to Bidders, the Information Available to Bidders, the Bid Forms and Attachments, and the Bid Security Forms.
In preparing the plans, the architect utilizes graphic symbols, instead of words, to indicate various facility conditions.
Drainage systems are constructed so that they should be able to carry waste water to a waterway, stream, river, or the sea. These plans also indicate the length, width and various heights of the structure and floor elevations.Design & Construction Process Preliminary Design is the first phase of the design process.
The Planner assigned to the project will coordinate a series of meetings with Users and the Design Team for information gathering. The date of Substantial Completion is an important date as it comes into play on many internal procedures relating.
Modern road construction techniques have been improved with the use of new construction materials, specialized knowledge and new equipment. Construction management has made it possible to design and construct better roads in less time without compromising safety.

This Lake Austin Residence takes advantage of an incredible waterfront site on Lake Austin. The lot drops steeply from a flat area (with small existing house) at the street; the new residence responds to the site by cutting into the hillside with a 12-foot-high retaining wall to form the ground floor. The upper floor is entered at grade, while a roof deck will eventually be accessible via a bridge spanning from the edge of the yard at the top of the lot. The lower floor is almost entirely glazed, capturing a panoramic view of Lake Austin. The building is steel-framed with SIPS infill panels, and clad in raw steel panels and glass.


THE EARLY YEARS
Before the advent of the Port of Takoradi, there were surference ports sited at Cape Coast, Accra, Keta, Sekondi and Axim. Ships calling at these ports were anchored off shore and their cargoes transferred by means of lighters and surf boats. Owing to the dangerous surf, the surference ports were found to be unsuitable and also inadequate to cope with the fast expanding trade of the country. By 1919 it had become clear that the low capacity sailing ships with low draft could no longer cope with the heavy evacuation of Cocoa from the hinterland to the Ports of Accra, Winneba, Sekondi and Cape Coast. This necessitated the decision to build a deep sea harbour capable of accommodating high capacity iron ships then emerging from shipyards in Europe.
All the existing suferance Ports were considered for the construction of the deep water harbour. From December 1919 to June 1920, hydrographic surveys were conducted by the Government which was initiated by Sir Gordon Guggisberg and Takoradi was chosen as the suitable site. From 22nd February to 20th April 1921, a committee was appointed to consider and report on the selection of a site for the deep sea harbour of the country. The committee submitted its report to the Consulting Engineers Messrs Coode Matthews Pitts – Maurice and Wilson, who agreed that Takoradi was unquestionably the most suitable site for the deep sea harbour.
Despite pressures from England for the then Governor Sir Gordon Guggisberg to cut down on his Ten Year Development Plan stretching from 1919 to 1928 because of trade recession after the first world war, he retained the construction of the Port with two other projects namely, 4800 km motor roads construction and the Kumasi/Accra railway line in his development Plan. The funds for the three projects totalling about £12million were generated locally and farmers contributed a great deal of it.
Construction of the Port of Takoradi began in 1923 and was completed and officially opened on 3rd of April 1928 by Right Honourable J.H. Thomas, P.C LLD, MP. Secretary of State for the Colonies. Operations started on the 3rd of December 1928. The Port was constructed as the base of navy operations and trade and was capable of handling annually one million tonnes of cargo – both imports and exports. With the building of the harbour, the railways and harbour came under the joint administration of the Railway and Harbours Administration.
During this time, Governor Guggisberg had thought that the harbour with its three berths (i.e. the Manganese berth, Berths 2&3) and the buoy berths would be adequate for the future traffic. From 1949, however, congestion started taking place at the port due to economic development and expansion of industries as well as the growing import and export trade. Through the initiative of the then Governor, Sir Charles Noble Arden Clarke, the Port’s extension works were started in 1951 by Taylor Woodrow Engineering Company and were completed in 1956. The Lee Breakwater was extended, Berths 4, 5 and 6 were built as well as the Bauxite wharf with its aerial ropeway system, the passenger terminal, the oil wharf and Transit sheds 4, 5 and 6 were also built.
By 1983, the facilities at Takoradi Port had deteriorated as a result of lack of maintenance to the extent that its capacity was severely hampered. Cargo handling equipment had become obsolete with most of them broken down; some of the berths were occupied by wrecks, which made the Ports unsafe for ship navigation.
On 26th June 1986, under the Economic Recovery Government, the Ghana Ports Authority, Ghana Cargo Handling Company and Takoradi Lighterage Company were merged into one corporate body, The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority. In 1986, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority with the support of the Government of Ghana embarked on major rehabilitation of the Takoradi Port. The first phase of the rehabilitation project of Takoradi Port which cost US $35millionwas funded by the International Development Fund of the World Bank, the Overseas Economic Co-operation Fund of Japan and a grant from the Economic Development Fund of the European Union.
The Project included:
- The repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and facilities
- Removal of sunken vessels and other wrecks from the harbour basin
- Supply of equipment including floating crafts, cargo handling equipment and vehicles.
- Institutional strengthening involving technical strengthening of Management and training.
Following the successful implementation of the 1st phase, the NDC Government negotiated with the EU for additional grant of ¢5.5 billion, out of which the GPHA contributed 20% to complete the 1st phase of the rehabilitation of the Port of Takoradi.
Projects under the 2nd phase begun in 1991 and included the following:
- Dredging of the Port to the designed depths
- Rehabilitation of berths 2 and 3 for general cargo
- Completion of the rehabilitation of the West Lighter Wharf for Cocoa and Sawn timber
- Rehabilitation of the Sawn timber No 2.
- Pavement of adjacent areas
The 2nd phase of the project was completed on the 12th of May 1995.
The GPHA, with the support of the Government of the NPP embarked on an ambitious campaign to transform Takoradi Port into a modern port with modern facilities at the cost of two hundred and fifty million dollars ($250,000,000.00). the repair of the lee breakwater and dredging of the buoys from 10.4 m to 11.0 m. and berths from 9.5 m to 10.4 m were completed in 2002.
The initial capacity of the port was 1 million tones of cargo. With the first expansion in 1956 the port was able to handle 1,153 vessels carrying 2.3 million tons of cargo in 1964. The port in 2015 handled 27% of national seaborne traffic, 15% of national seaborne imports, 68% of national seaborne exports, 6% of National seaborne container traffic and 7% of transit traffic to the Sahelian countries of Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali. Over the years vessel calls to the port has increased from 485 in 2003 to 1,525 calls in the 2015. The increase is attributed to the calls from Oil Supply vessels servicing the Jubilee Oil Fields at Cape Three Points. Since the discovery of oil in 2007, supply vessel calls have increased from 11% to 61% in 2015 of total vessel calls.
As part of meeting the growing demands of our customers, plans are underway to modernise and expand the port. The project involves the extension of the existing main breakwater to 1.75 kilometres northwards. There will be the provision of a bulk terminal/jetty to handle bulk commodities and dredging of the access channels. The berths will also be dredged to16 meters depth. Upon completion, Manganese, Bauxite, Clinker and Limestone and other bulk cargo operations will be transferred to the new jetty. There will be a dedicated berth with a depth of 10meters to cater for the oil supply activities. This will free the existing manganese terminal for the increasing oil services activities in the port. The project will also involve the reclamation of the log pond and the area would be used to construct a quay of length 1km and a depth of 16metres.
Highlights of the expansion:
- Access Channel dredged to 16metres
- Extension of Breakwater 1.08 Northward
- Construction of Bulk Terminals with 16meters depth
- Construction of oil services terminal
- Reclamation of 53,000 hectares of land
- Construction of open storage area for oil field, plant and machinery.
- Construction of dual access roads to the port.
CONTRIBUTION OF THE PORT OF TAKORADI
From 1928 to 1962 (a period of 34 years) when Tema Port was opened, the Port of Takoradi served as the main gateway to the country; handling imports, exports, passengers and also served as a base for naval operations for the country. It has over the years supported the revenue generating sector of the economy and has contributed immensely to the economy of Ghana. Takoradi Port has been the pivot of economic activities in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis and the Western Region as a whole by providing employment for the indigenes through the operation of support service providers in port operations especially through the Ghana Dock Labour Company Limited (GDLC).
In addition to the above, management of the port recognises the social contract between the port and the community in which it operates and thus honours its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In line with this, the port has been assisting in construction and rehabilitation of many schools, building of sanitary sites, donations to individuals, donations to hospitals and health posts and many charitable projects. The Port Clinic and Fire Services provides for the well-being of the Metropolis.


Our current relief project is the digging of a well in a village 6km away from Ambovombe.
The village was in desperate need of easily accessible and affordable water. Dust and dirt cover everything in this region, and the lack of water affects the health conditions and agriculture. Attempts to dig a well had been made before but were never successful. We prayed with the local church and decided to dig a well. Twenty-five metres down, water was found.
Work continues to brick the well, and build a structure around it. A committee of local leaders and church members has been created and we are teaching them how to manage the well, and it's profits, in a way to benefit the community and glorify God.


Internal Wall Insulation
The works will include the stripping back of the existing wall linings to expose the original walls (where possible). The installation of a 75mm x 50mm partition set against the original walls with 75mm Quinntherm (or equivalent) board insulation and sheeted with 12.5mm foil backed plasterboard. The new walls will be taped and filled and 2 coats of emulsion will be applied (white or magnolia).
Please note: It is likely that the room will be slightly smaller as a result of the works.
All window reveals and sills will be insulated where possible. Ingoes will be replaced with plasterboard and sills will be MDF with a white gloss finish. Where decorative timber linings or similar are present on walls to be insulated, these will not be reinstated. The contractor will reuse skirting and facings where possible. Where renewal of skirting, facings and coving is required the contractor will endeavour to match existing. No works will be undertaken to remaining walls that are not being insulated.
Timescale: Allow 2 weeks for install

The construction industry should embrace the chance to lead the way on initiatives that have a positive impact on community health, especially when they simultaneously drive more efficient ways of working.
So says construction logistics specialist Wilson James as it outlines its support for the introduction of London’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) but says the construction industry must find more stringent ways of improving air quality in London, including more widespread use of Construction Consolidation Centres.
From next Monday (8th April 2019), the London ULEZ will see non-compliant Euro-6 HGVs have to pay £100 to enter the zone, while non-Euro-6 vans and smaller vehicles will pay £12.50.
Keith Winterflood, director of logistics at Wilson James, said: “Our research shows that a third of construction vehicles delivering to sites in central London’s new ULEZ are not compliant with the tighter exhaust requirements.
“On a typical central London project there are about 300 deliveries daily, so if there are 100 non-compliant vehicles, they will be paying a total of £10,000 in charges per day.”
Whilst Wilson James says Euro level 6 for commercial vehicles is a positive step in reducing particulates, the firm adds that it does not make a significant enough reduction in CO2 emissions and adds that such improvements must be married to other, better ways of working to improve air quality in London.
Winterflood said: “The role of the construction industry is continuing to evolve and change, as supply chains become more complex and solutions become more integrated. Responsibility for our communities is also becoming more widely shared. Presented with an opportunity to take a more expansive view on wellbeing, our industry should be leaping at the chance to lead the way.”
He added: “There is a complementary way to promote clean air: better organisation of construction deliveries. Instead of having thousands of LGVs and HGVs making discreet deliveries to numerous sites, why not consolidate those deliveries on the outskirts of the city and use fewer vehicles to deliver to multiple sites? These facilities (Construction Consolidation Centres, or CCCs), together with the associated technology required to run them, already exist and yet a minority of projects are using them.
“The City of London Corporation has already showed leadership, making the use of consolidation centres during construction a condition of planning for some developments. If cleaner air is a real priority, making this practice more widespread cannot happen too soon.”
The comments follow TfL research that found the implementation of the London Construction Consolidation Centre (LCCC) demonstrated the number of vehicles travelling directly to the construction site reduced by 68%.” A report produced by WRAP also showed that as a direct result of the reduction in vehicles there was a reduction of CO2 emissions of c.75%.
Wilson James has also been actively trying to drive down emissions through cleaner vehicles; the firm recently announced that it’s added the first fully electric vehicle to its London fleet, operating out of the London Construction Consolidation Centre (LCCC).
The addition of the Nissan e-NV200 follows the achievement of a fully Euro 6-compliant vehicle fleet at the LCCC, ranging across sizes and weight up to 26 tonnes, just three years after the Euro 6 standard was introduced.
In addition to the LCCC, Wilson James has pioneered electric vehicles on client sites, most notably at Heathrow Airport in the role of Heathrow Logistic Integrator. The entire fleet of escort vehicles managed by Wilson James at the airport is now electric.
The firm’s work on ensuring a more sustainable fleet has already seen it achieve Gold Standard certification in the voluntary FORS scheme, as well as multiple industry awards and shortlistings.

100 smart cities shall be built in India of which planning for few have already begun. However, of the 100 cities why is that people are most enquiring about Dholera SIR current status? After all, what makes it different from the rest?
The foremost differentiating factor is that the city is the maiden smart city to be developed. It has been chosen as the first city that shall lead the 100 others. Being the flagship smart city project, the expectations from the city and efforts being made to develop it are way too far stretched when compared to the others.
Secondly, the size of the city certainly makes a difference and a factor that makes people curious about knowing Dholera SIR current status. To be developed 6 times the size of Shanghai and 2 times the size of our financial capital (Mumbai), Dholera is a conglomeration of 22 villages and spans 920 Sq. Km. It is the largest and only Greenfield smart city project of India.
The fact how the city is being linked up to surrounding areas and main cities of India cannot be overlooked and forms an important discussion point for Dholera SIR current status. Six lane expressway is being constructed, metro project is being planned, extended railway route is in the cards, linkage to nearby port is being worked out and Dholera International. Airport is in making. The city is about to get directly accessible through all routes: air, land and sea.
Keeping a tab on Dholera SIR Current status, are you? Dholera is about to set an example of 'how a city should be planned and developed'.

SSAW/SAWH Large Diameter Steel Tubular Pipe Piles (Casings)
Deep foundations and marine applications are where structural pipe piling is used most frequently. Its stiffness, load bearing capacity and bending resistance make it ideal for use in the construction of wharfs, bulkheads and quay walls. The large surface area of pipe piles allows them to offer substantial frictional load resistance in deep foundations, as well as point bearing properties.
SSAW Pipe Piles
Spiral Submerged Arc Welded Pipe Pile (SSAW Steel Pipe)
SSAW can be manufactured in large lengths and diameters. Spiral welded tubular pipes are produced from internally and externally welded steel coils. Piling pipes can be welded with pipe shoes to enhance drivability in difficult ground conditions. SSAW are often coated for use in ports, bulkheads and jettys.
Pacifica Piling can produce spiral welded pipe in diameters from 14” (355.6mm) through 120” (3.048m) in thicknesses from 0.179” (4.5mm) up to 1.0” (24.4mm)
LSAW Pipe Piles
Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welding Pipe Pile (LSAW Steel Pipe)
LSAW pipe piles are manufactured from steel plates and can me manufactured in thicknesses of up to 4 inches (100mm). LSAW pipe piles are used for steel pipe piling and used extensively in the waterfront/marine sector. They can also be fabricated for use with clutches, shear rings, and other fabricated components. Other applications for LSAW pipe pile include as king piles in conjunction with sheet piles to form a combination wall.
ERW Pipe Piles
ERW steel pipe piles, or Electric Resistance Welded pipe, is utilized in a wide range of ways, including in water well drilling, in the construction of fences and as sign posts of various sizes, and is a common component of large equipment systems found within engineering facilities. Each unit of ERW tubing is composed of low-carbon, fine-grain steel of the highest quality available in the industry.
Because of its chemical composition and the cold form method with which it is manufactured, this particular type of steel pipe pile tubing is ideal for applications in which corrosion resistance and a high level of toughness is required.
The main piling pipe norms we are producing accordingly are EN 10219-1 , ASTM A 252
For your off-shore port/berth projects please advise us for determining your tehnical(material,size etc) requirements.
Connecting our steel pipes to sheet piles: C6 interlocks or with C9
Related to tubular piling pipes, for your Combined Wall ( Combi-Wall) applications, we are in position to manage applications of C6 and C9 interlock welding operations. Please contact us for detailed information.


A fire fighting water pump is a powerful tool that pumps water from the ground, ponds, tanks or natural bodies of water to the fire scene and supplies it to the fire sprinkler system. Depending on the terrain and job required, the pump may need to be larger or smaller in order to meet the demands of your fire scene. Our application specialists will be able to help you figure out exactly what type and size of water pump is needed for your fire protection system.
The first thing to evaluate is your available water supply. This could be a municipal water supply, on-site water storage tank or even a swimming pool (NFPA 13 allows pools, ponds and other raw water sources). Typically, a diesel engine centrifugal fire pump is the most common option due to the ease of use, reliability and cost. However, electric motor-driven engines are also an option and require less maintenance.
Next, you need to determine the flow and pressure that is required from the fire fighting water pump. This will be based on the water demand for your fire sprinklers, foam systems and hose reels and will be rated by local code requirements.
The final step is to select the correct nozzle for the fire scene. The nozzle must be rated at the required pressure and flow for the system, and it should have an easy to read gauge. The nozzle should also be able to track water supply availability and operate at the rated nozzle pressure and flow without tying up the attack crew. fire fighting water pump


UPDATE, 10:30 A.M. Feb. 10: A steady stream of cement trucks have been pouring concrete at Lake Oroville Friday morning.
The trucks are extending the lip of the emergency spillway.
The Department of Water Resources continues to release water at a rate of 65,000 cubic feet per second. That's a little less than half the volume of water entering the lake.
The emergency spillway has never been used, even in 2013 when Lake Oroville reached 900 feet in depth. It holds 901 feet.
As of 10:30 a.m., officials are saying the emergency spillway may not have to be utilized if current releases are maintained.

UPDATE, 8 A.M. Feb. 10: In Butte County, more water is rushing down the badly damaged Oroville Dam spillway Friday. Officials are trying to manage the flow so that an emergency release from Lake Oroville, the huge reservoir behind the dam, won’t be necessary.
California state engineers say the damage does not threaten communities downstream even as Lake Oroville continues to fill with water.
CapRadio's Bob Moffit says the Department of Water Resources will increase water outflows from Lake Oroville to 65,000 cfs at around noon Friday.
Engineers Use Eroding Spillway To Control Rapidly Rising Lake Oroville
Original Post: Engineers at Lake Oroville are releasing water over the reservoir's quickly-eroding spillway in an effort to maintain flood control measures.
It's flowing at a rate of 35,000 cubic-feet-per-second, but the lake that's already more than 90 percent full, is filling up much faster than that.
Inflow Thursday was measured at more than two-to-three times the release rate.
A massive gash in the spillway's concrete has grown dramatically since the gates were reopened yesterday, spurring some on social media to claim the spillway has completely collapsed.
Department of Water Resources spokesman Doug Carlson says that is not the case.
"It has not collapsed, contary to the rumor." says Carlson. "It has been increasingly damaged by the heavy flow of water coming down, that was anticipated. It must be emphasized, the dam is not in danger, its integrity has not been compromised."
Geotechnicians say bedrock is likely just underneath the topsoil that's being washed away around and underneath the spillway.
That topsoil has so muddied the waters downstream that salmon at a nearby fish hatchery are being moved by tanker trucks to another location.
The goal for operators right now is to release enough lake water to avoid using an emergency spillway that's nothing more than a hillside lined with trees.
Schools were closed Thursday as a precautionary measure in Oroville, Palermo and Thermalito because of high lake levels.

February 17th, 1937, twelve construction workers fell to their deaths while attempting to remove scaffolding from underneath a platform on the Golden Gate Bridge. On the 26th of September, 2001, a 2 1/2-ton plywood-and-steel panel built to protect motorists from Bay Bridge retrofit work collapsed into the eastbound traffic, crushing a pickup truck and killing its driver. April 1st, 2002, cranes and scaffolding at a high-rise building crashed to the ground after an earthquake jolted Taiwan–killing five construction workers. These accidents illustrate the inherent risk in construction work involving large structures. There is usually a price to be paid in human terms for these awe-inspiring improvements.
Case in point, approximately ten years ago during one of my visits to Taiwan a corner construction site for a high-rise condominium complex had started to go up. Well, not exactly going up, but more of a dredging and excavation of an area where the foundation was to be poured. This was a plodding methodical churning of mud coupled with a sustained flush of a subterranean sewer until the surface area had clotted resulting in a hardened mass of goo just right for paving. This operation appeared to be taking forever and a day because each time I returned to Taiwan over the next couple of years the construction site seemed to be in the same condition as it was the last time I was there.
My next trip had a more lengthy in between time–I hadn’t been to Taiwan for nearly eight years. This trip revealed a marked improvement in the pace of construction, and for icing on the cake a new subway station had been added right next to the now fully developed high rise building. During these final phases of construction (mainly internal), a metal canopy had been constructed along with a large blue tarp enveloping most of the building’s lower floors to protect the pedestrian traffic below from inadvertent falling objects. When in Taiwan I am always mindful when walking by high rise buildings to look up. For whatever reason, I’ve always been on guard for a falling wrench or hammer or piece of scaffolding or even, God forbid, a falling body. Wincing with regret when I’ve forgotten to either look up or simply forgetting to use the overhanging roof of a building over a walkway.
There came a day when I was exiting the subway at the new station only to encounter a yellow taped off area and a transit cop directing me to an exit that would be taking me across the street. Hmm…what was this all about? As I made my way up the stairs and onto the street facing directly in front of the high rise building, I could see scaffolding that had fallen to the ground and more scaffolding perilously dangling from the building’s edifice. What I always feared had happened. The winds aloft swirled around this building breaking scaffolding loose from its moorings. I suspect the construction crew hadn’t anticipated this possible mishap (although I don’t understand why they wouldn’t) and somewhere someone hadn’t securely latched down the scaffolds.
Having seen my fears realized, I think I’ll take to wearing a hard hat as I traverse the sidewalks of Taiwan.

Your ideas brought it to life.
The formwork or shuttering should be sturdy enough to handle the weight of wet concrete mix as well as the pressure used to place and compact concrete inside or on top of it. It should be robust to avoid deflection in the surface after cement concrete is laid, as well as sufficiently tight to prevent water and mortar from leaking out of the cement concrete.
Reach Us now!
Timber shuttering was one of the first and most widely utilised types of formwork in the construction industry, and it is still widely employed today. It’s usually put together on the spot.
However, before utilising timber formwork, it must be thoroughly examined to ensure that it is free of termites. Timber shuttering also has two drawbacks that must be considered when employing it: it has a short lifespan and takes a long time to install in large projects.
When utilising timber shuttering, make sure to cut it into pieces that can be reused. When labour costs are low or several concrete sections necessitate flexible formwork, timber shuttering is chosen.


Composite reinforcement bars ORLITECH ® BAR made of basalt fiber.
In cooperation with the foreign company GALEN, we introduce these bars, as a novelty, to the Czech construction market. This is one of the best options to replace steel concrete ladder reinforcement.
The ORLITECH ® BAR is a high-strength and durable basalt fiber bar with a diameter of 2.5 — 32 mm. This reinforcement is delivered in bars with a length of 2 to 12 m. The reinforcement with a diameter of 4 to 10 mm is also supplied in coils of 50-100 bm, which has the advantage over steel bars in faster installation and less connection. We offer bars in two variants, without surface treatment and with surface treatment, when the bars are covered in siliceous sand before stretching in the baking mold. This gives them much better properties when bonded to concrete.
The use of ORLITECH ® BAR composite reinforcement increases the lifetime of not only the concrete structures but also various building structures. It has high resistance to corrosion in acidic, alkaline and other corrosive environments.
High tensile strength (1200 MPa)
Low density (2.0g / cm3)
Low thermal conductivity (0.46W / m2)
Absolute environmental and fire safety
ORLITECH BAR composite reinforcement has undergone physical and mechanical tests at various universities around the world.
Possible use of composite reinforcement:
A — Civil construction:
Reinforcement of concrete structures
Reinforcement of foundation plates
Repair and reinforcement of concrete floors, brick and stone walls
Reinforcement and mainly the weight reduction of monoliths and structural elements
B — Construction and Agriculture:
In the manufacture of concrete barriers and filigree (thin-walled elements)
Reinforcement of concrete and anhydrite floors not only in industrial buildings
Reinforcement of concrete tanks, sewerage shafts and covers
Reconstruction and redevelopment of buildings and historical objects
Strengthening of water works and coastal structures
Construction of silage pits, gutter reinforcement and troughs
C — Road and railway engineering:
Reinforcement of road plates, motorways and airfield
Weight reduction and reinforcement of bridges and bridge structures
Reinforcement of retaining walls, road, railway banks and slopes
As part of concrete sleepers for trains and metro
Fencing and non-corrosion barriers

Residential – Home Owner – Extensions
If you love where you live but wish you had more space in your home we may be able to help you with a building extension. We have a structured approach that can take you from the concept and outline stages through to completion of your project.
As Building Surveyor’s, we are passionate about buildings, structures and construction. We understand how the building components are put together; and in reverse take them apart to adapt the structure. Some architects may have the design-flair to make elevations look nice sometimes with expensive materials and awkward design detail but as Building Surveyor’s we are better placed to design an extension which is cost effective, buildable, practicable, functional and operational with low maintenance costs.
Let us take you through the process and services we are able to offer: -
Residential – Buying/Selling Homes – Surveys
If you are looking to buy a property it is mostly advantageous to have a survey undertaken on the property prior to paying out for your new home. A survey will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you options with the Vendor pre-purchase.
At Leyson Building Consultancy we offer 4 types of surveys: -
The Condition Survey
What is it? The more basic type of visual survey to provide an overview of the general condition of the property identifying significant issues that warrant attention.
Application: For relatively new properties that have no abnormal design features or materials; piece of mind.
The Full Building Survey
What is it? This used to be the ‘Structural Survey’ which provides a detailed and thorough survey of the property and condition of the structure. The survey includes a schedule of defects, explains the defect and consequence of inaction together with advice on maintenance and repairs. Sometimes the report includes budget forecast costs (not a building valuation) and when repairs should be carried out.
Typically, the surveyor will look in the loft space and reach opinions concerning concealed elements of the structure. The survey may extend to the out buildings, grounds and boundaries.
Application: For older types of properties that may also be in poor condition. May also be suitable for properties that have abnormal or unusual features and/or materials or where alterations or extensions may be considered after purchase. Generally, not undertaken on flats.
The New Build Survey
What is it? A snagging survey which lists out small cosmetic issues to structural problems. This type of survey goes in hand when a developer is on site close to completing the property and prior to purchase. The list can be used to get the developer to sort out any problems quickly and/or under any new build warranty.
Application: For new build properties.
The Insurance Revaluation Survey
What is it? Most insurance underwriters require a professional evaluation of a building's rebuilding cost following total destruction. The more familiar term is a Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA), their accuracy is crucial in ensuring that property is adequately insured. At Leyson Building Consultancy we use the RICS BCIS (Building Cost Information Service) to complete this technical exercise.
Application: May be used for existing, houses, flats and blocks of flats where an insurance (re)valuation is required. It is not used to assess current market values of a property.

It's a huge project in an area that is already full of traffic jams. Are there going to be any traffic management improvements ? I agree the house needs to be developed but this looks over the top. Hanworth Air Parcs is a great community space, maybe underused.
When would the work start and how long will it take? Good luck.
Ms Hawke, TW16
Dear Ms Hawke
Many thanks for your comments and best wishes.
To answer your specific questions -
1. Traffic management issues - we have undertaken various traffic management surveys and have been speaking to Transport for London and local councillors to help deliver several traffic flow improvements to the local area, and of course there would be a traffic management plan related to the construction.
2. Overdevelopment - as we have detailed, the repair costs are in excess of £10m to restore the house. This drives the quantum of development more than anything.. We have worked with the Council to reduce it as much as we can.
3. Timing - we were hoping to get an approval a year ago! The house will not survive much longer and we have asked the Council to make a decision before another winter sets in on the house. We plan to start as soon as we have consent, and we anticipate the construction to take about two and a half years, with minimal disruption to the local community.


This Week's Top Stories About electrician
Plumbing deals with the easy idea of "water in-- water out." In a new home, the plumbing system includes 3 primary elements, the supply of water system, the drain system and the appliance/fixture set. In many communities, in order to install pipes, you need to be a certified plumbing technician or you should work under a licensed plumber who authorizes and manages your work. Regional codes identify standard plumbing treatments, however a new home's fixture positioning, pipeline routing diagram and pipeline size depends on the home's specific design.
Installation Timetable Sewer lodging stubs are set prior to pouring the concrete foundation, but the bulk of the pipes occurs later. The rough-in plumbing phase, which takes place in combination with the electrical wiring and duct installation stage, takes location after the framing is total, but before hanging drywall. This is the time to set up primary drains in floors and link them to the stack. Rough-in drain fittings set up now for sinks and tubs. This is also the time to install water system pipelines or tubing and set toilet flanges.Plumbing Components Because they're often too big to set when walls and doorways are framed, tubs and tub/shower units are normally set prior to framing the walls. Because a lot of building and construction has yet to occur, cover these fixtures with cardboard or even old blankets or carpets to secure them from scratches. Set and connect sinks and commodes last, after finishing the walls and laying the floor covering.
Water System System The main pressurized water supply line gets in the home below frost line, then splits into 2 lines; one materials cold water and the other connects to the warm water heating system. From there, the two lines supply hot and cold water to each component or home Check out this site appliance. Some homes have a water system manifold system including a large panel with red valves on one side and blue valves on the other side. Each valve controls a specific hot or cold tube that provides water to a fixture. Utilizing a manifold system makes it easy to shut off the supply of water to one component without shutting down supply of water to the entire home.
Drainage Pipes A primary vent-and-soil stack, which is usually 4 inches in diameter, runs vertically from underneath the ground flooring to above the roofline. Waste drains link to the stack, directing waste downward to the primary sewer drain, which then exits the house listed below frost line and ties into the municipal drain system or goes to a personal septic tank.
Vent Pipeline Without a constant source of air, water locks can form in drains, causing clogs. All drains pipes require ventilation, but a single vent, generally installed behind a sink, can serve additional components and home appliances that connect within 10 feet of a typical drain line. Vent pipes, which are generally 2 inches in size, connect to the vent-and-soil stack in the attic. When a component sits too far from a typical vent, it requires an extra vent pipe, which connects to the stack or exits the roofing individually, depending upon the house's layout.
Traps A drain trap is a U-shaped pipeline that connects to the bottom of a sink, shower or tub drain. A trap retains a little amount of water that avoids stinky sewer gasses from supporting into your home. All pipes components require drain traps other than the commode, which comes with an internal trap in its base.


Post-Harvey Athletic Facility Assessment and Rebuilding
The damage left in the wake of Hurricane Harvey has devastated communities throughout the Texas Gulf Coast with many of our fellow Texans sustaining losses in their personal and professional lives. As the cornerstone of many communities the damage done to school facilities is devastating but also a spot for hope and encouragement in the rebuilding process and we look to our fellow contractors and Texans to work hand-in-hand in this rebuilding process.

Our personnel can survey any affected sports field or track facility for damage caused by the storm including:
- Take infill site samples for contamination testing by a third-party lab
- Inspect for damage to the field from heavy debris or flood water
- Assess infill levels due to migration under flood waters
- Assess removal of mud and other materials that may have deposited on the surface
- Inspect clay skinned areas of natural grass baseball and softball fields for refurbishment
- Survey polyurethane track surfaces for repairs or delamination
- Inspect goal posts to ensure proper level
- Inspect and account for all appropriate field equipment including jump pit covers, take-off boards, and comm box covers
Upon assessment of facilities we are ready to provide the following services as needed:
- Deep cleaning, debris removal, and disinfection of synthetic turf athletic fields
- Add infill to bring levels back to up ideal level for safe play or remove and replace infill if required
- GMax testing of synthetic turf fields

- Removal and replacement of synthetic turf surfacing and polyurethane running track surfacing. This type of material can be used for a lot of different purposes, more than what you actually realize. You may want to have a look at this Polyurethane supplier if you are in the market for this material or if you would just like to learn more about it.
We are here to help and are ready to work with insurance and FEMA recovery processes to get the schools of Texas Gulf Coast back up and running. We hold multiple EDGAR compliant purchasing co-operative contracts and understand the process required for disaster recovery renovations.
Please contact Bret Allen at (817) 692-0481 or firstname.lastname@example.org to schedule an athletic facility assessment.


The London Post Office Railway (rebranded Mail Rail in 1987) was conceived in 1911 in response to congestion on London’s road networks, and opened in 1927 as the world’s first electric railway with driverless trains.
At its peak the railway carried 4 million letters a day across 22 miles of narrow gauge underground track spanning a distance of 6.5 miles from Paddington in the west to Whitechapel in the east.
The railway stayed in operation for 76 years. It closed in May 2003 over cost concerns: the railway was 3-5 times more expensive than road transport for the same task.
Urban explorers published illicit photographs of the network in April 2011 showing it to be largely in good condition. In October 2013 the British Postal Museum & Archive announced plans to open parts of the network to the public, and on 5th September 2017 opened an attraction featuring new custom passenger rail cars running through the tunnels.
During its lifetime the railway was strictly for mail only. As a result the new passenger carriages are a very tight fit - bags need to be left in a locker, and if you’re claustrophobic you may have second thoughts! The ride lasts 15 minutes and includes numerous stops with well designed video presentations projected onto the walls outside the carriage.
The ride ends at the maintenance depot which exhibits historic rail cars and switching equipment. Tickets to Mail Rail also cover entrance to the nearby Postal Museum.

The State Council has made a decision regarding the Samaritaine case and has given it a construction permit. This means that the LVMH group can finally start the renovation of the old Parisian department store.
Renovation budget: 460 million euro
The permit has now given the company the freedom to renovate the building, something that had been halted for more than 2 years after several groups filed a complaint as they believed the new project would not fit the urban landscape. The LVMH Group will invest some 460 million euro into the renovation, which will start in the upcoming weeks and will last 3 years.
The Samaritaine building is located in between the Seine River and the Rue de Rivoli and is one of Paris' most iconic department stores. It opened in 1870 and was the largest of its day, with more than 48,000 sqm of floor space.
