Brickwork is a construction using bricks and on the other hand block work is used for the same purposes but using blocks of concrete. Whereas brickwork is considered beautiful and is left exposed at times, block work is usually rendered and used for more heavy duty and sustainable purposes.
Paving is the process of laying the stones to make the surface flat and is usually made for easier walking. Paving is preferred because it is more durable in comparison to other methods and is cost effective as no additional machinery or expertise is required.
Potholes are small underground caves either formed on the ground and sometimes on the roads due to wear and tear. The most common way to fill the potholes is by adding soil or cold asphalt to prevent harm or further deterioration.
Road Marketing is when companies want to target the vehicle owners or pedestrians using the road networks and do subtle advertisements but sponsoring barriers and signs so their name just sits at the back of the audience’s mind whenever they use or even cross those barriers and signs.
Demolition means completely tearing the building down without any intention to preserve any part of it. Demolition can be done when new construction is needed and the land is not enough or when the building is new or animal infested. The most common demolition techniques include demolishing with the heavy ball, a bulldozer or by explosion.
Core drill is a drill which is of cylindrical shape and drills through surface to excavate all the material which is left inside the hollow cylinder. Core drilling methods use steel or blades to bore a hole in the ground or any hardened surface. Though this method is more costly, it is preferred since the cuttings remain inside the cylindrical rod.
During construction you must have seen liquid concrete being poured into wooden or metal molds to be hardened into a specific shape. This practice if called formwork. If the molds are wooden they are temporary. This method is widely used to make concrete blocks and pillars of all shapes and sizes.
When it comes to using tiles, there is a vast variety available in the market of all shapes and sizes. This enables the consumer to use tiles anywhere from kitchen walls to bathroom to porches and even swimming pools.
Carports are one of the most common features of houses mostly and also are extremely convenient to build and maintain. It consists of four posts and a ceiling and is more of a DIY project. It is mostly used as a shelter for cars.
Earthwork is something we see around us all the time. It is the disturbance of natural layer of soil which can be due to various reasons like excavation, tunnelling or restoration projects. Though the disturbance is usually settled by the same group that has caused it, it does leave a long lasting damage on the environment.
Painting is of various kinds but the one related to construction business is done on a large scale to buildings, bridges, walls and other massive structures. There are people who specialize in such work and are known as construction painters.

Cooperative Mobility Pilot on Safety and Sus- tainability Services for Deployment - COMPASS4D
The COMPASS4D project ended in December 2015, having equipped 7 cities with the most modern cooperative systems (Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Helmond, Newcastle, Thessaloniki, Verona and Vigo). The road hazard warning, red light violation warning and the energy efficient intersection service have been tested in hundreds of thousands of kilometers along the European roads by more than 800 bus, taxi, truck, emergency vehicles and private vehicle drivers.
Three years were needed in total for the development of the services, the installation of the systems and the pilot testing of the cooperative services. The final demonstration of the services took place during the ITS World Congress in Bordeaux in October 2015 with representatives of the seven cities participating in the project.
Since the beginning of 2016 hundreds of G5-enabled road side units, installed at the traffic lights and along the ring roads of the participating cities, but also a total of 164 intersections (14 in Thessaloniki and 150 in Verona), are providing, through ITS-G5 and LTE communications respectively, to the equipped vehicles and therefore the drivers, information about the countdown of the traffic light, road accidents, queues lengths and road works, as well as red light violation warnings.
The consortium of COMPASS4D project includes a total of 31 partners from 10 countries and is coordinated by the European Road Transport Telematics Implementation Coordination ERTICO - ITS Europe. The pilot of Thessaloniki is leaded by CERTH/ HIT, in collaboration with the Region of Central Macedonia, the Infotrip and TaxiWay companies and the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) of the National Technical University of Athens.
The CO-GISTICS project is an innovative action aiming at the use of existing cooperative mobility systems in freight transport by providing the following five services:
Intelligent truck parking and delivery areas management
Cargo Transport Optimisation
CO2 footprint estimation and monitoring
Priority and Speed advice
The pilots of the project tackle the economic and environmental challenges faced by the freight transport industry, aiming at the improvement of energy efficiency and the reduction of air pollution emissions of freight transport. With its application in 7 of the largest freight hubs in Europe (Frankfurt, Trieste, Vigo, Bordeaux, Bilbao, Arad and Thessaloniki), the CO-GISTICS collaborative services will contribute to the sustainable and efficient operation of the freight vehicles, road networks, ports, airports, railway stations and freight transport in general. The operation of the cooperative services and their related technology systems will continue after the completion of the project, allowing further development of these services by operators in the future. For the pilots, a total of 325 vehicles will be used.
Collaborative CO-GISTICS services will contribute to the reduction of air pollution emissions from freight transport through applications such as the Eco-Drive support service. Through this service drivers will be continuously updated for CO2 emissions, which will be reduced by applying driving support technologies and selection of speed profile for a more environmentally friendly driving style. The CO-GISTICS project will also increase the efficiency of the freight transport sector, by reducing fuel consumption and directly issuing the proof-of-delivery of the goods. Finally, the freight vehicle drivers will benefit using the services, due to the reduction of stress and improvement of their working conditions, by through the provision of information about the status of traffic lights.
Main Objectives of the Pilot Mobile application screenshots
C-MobILE is a project funded by the European Union's HORIZON 2020 program aiming at deploying Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and services designed to deal with specific mobility challenges across Europe. The C-MobILE project’s vision is of a European road network which is safer, more efficient, more sustainable and economically viable, while minimizing environmental impacts.
C-MobILE will demonstrate C-ITS solutions in large-scale in urban and extra-urban environments by providing C-ITS services and service bundles to several end-users’ groups, including vulnerable road users (VRUs), across various transport modes. A total of eight C-ITS equipped cities and regions (Barcelona, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Newcastle, North Brabant Region, Thessaloniki and Vigo) are involved in the project, all of which have been research pilot sites for large-scale deployment of sustainable services in the past. This common approach ensures that interoperability and seamless service availability are prioritised and at an acceptable cost for end-users.
The C-MobILE project uses state of the art communication, road-side architecture, and service delivery technologies to define an interoperable architecture. Within this architecture, a series of C-ITS applications will be demonstrated and tested in the eight deployment sites and for specific use cases. The results collected by the deployment sites will be reviewed, with technical aspects and user/ societal impacts in mind, allowing for the deployment process and the best practice for establishing sustainable services to be defined. This way C-ITS deployment is achieved at the C-Mobile deployment sites, and deployment guidelines are developed so other cities and regions can successfully deploy C-ITS services.
Objectives: The purpose of the C-MobILE project is to improve road transport, by making it safer, more efficient and more sustainable, to demonstrate fully integrated C-ITS technologies in real-world conditions as well as the added-value and economic viability of C-ITS services for users, and to assess and evaluate impacts on user acceptance, safety and security. For this scope, C-MobILE is engaging with public and private stakeholders, including end-users, to enhance C-ITS services and to establish functioning partnerships beyond the project, assisting in sustainable C-ITS deployment.
HIT key role and responsibilities: HIT as project partner has undertaken the following actions:
Innovation management, in order to efficiently monitor market needs and technical evolutions throughout the project’s lifetime.
Performance of the ex-ante Cost-Benefit Analysis.
Contribution in the formation of initial business models for implementation.

User-centric design of C-ITS bundled applications.
Establishment of the C-ITS framework through collaboration and engagement with multiple stakeholders and end-users.
Coordination of local deployment site consultations and training activities for public authorities.
Leader and responsible for execution and monitoring of the large-scale demonstration.
Contribution in the definition of a common methodology for validation and impact assessment.
Over the past few years, there is one person killed and close to one seriously injured every day on level crossings. Therefore SAFER-LC aims to improve safety and minimize risk by developing a fully-integrated cross-modal set of innovative solutions and tools for the proactive management and design of level-crossing infrastructure. These tools will enable road and rail decision makers to find even more effective ways to detect potentially dangerous situations leading to collisions at level crossings, prevent incidents at level crossing by innovative design and predictive maintenance methods, and mitigate the consequences of incidents/disruptions due to accidents or other critical events.
The project will focus both on technical solutions, such as smart detection services and advanced infrastructure-to-vehicle communication systems and on human processes to adapt infrastructure design to end-users and to enhance coordination and cooperation between different stakeholders from different transportation modes. The project will first identify the needs and requirements of rail-road infrastructure managers and LC users and then seek to develop innovative smart detection and communication systems and adapt them for use by all types of level crossing users.
A series of pilot tests across Europe will be rolled out to demonstrate how these new technological and non-technological solutions can be integrated, validate their feasibility and evaluate their performance. The project will deliver a bundle of recommended technical specifications (for standardisation), human processes and organizational and legal frameworks for implementation. SAFER-LC will also develop a toolbox accessible through a user friendly interface which will integrate all the project results and solutions to help both rail and road managers to improve safety at level crossings.
Objectives: The main objective of SAFER-LC is to improve safety and minimize risks at and around level crossings (LCs) by developing a fully integrated cross-modal set of innovative solutions and tools for the proactive management and new design of level-crossing infrastructure.
HIT key role and responsibilities: HIT is the responsible for the implementation, execution and evaluation of the tests as well as the leader of the Thessaloniki pilot site
real-time alerts of incoming trains at the level crossings along with estimation of the time of arrival
A mobile application was developed and installed to the on-board tablets of the taxi fleet
A polygon was assigned to each of the level crossings
The ETA of a train at a level crossing is calculated using artificial neural networks based on historical data
Mean absolute error of 5 seconds for trains up to 1000 meters from the level crossing


It's been years of waiting, now finally, John Hindle Drive is open for motorist and cyclists, connecting North Glenmore neighbourhood to University District Kelowna and the Kelowna International Airport just up Highway 97.
The City of Kelowna completed phase 1 and 2 some time ago. The final, third phase was completed by the BC Ministry of Transportation. It consisted of an additional 1.8km roadway connecting John Hindle Drive from the Glenmore Landfill to the UBC Okanagan Campus at Alumni Avenue and a new signal and intersection at Upper Campus Way and Academy Way.

Additionally, John Hindle Drive is expected to ease congestion along Highway 97 by providing another route for those community through the city.


BJP MP Tapir Gao on Monday praised Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, calling him a ‘Spiderman’, and said he has built a web of roads across the country.
Participating in the discussion on the ‘demand for grants of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways’ for 2022-23 in Lok Sabha, the MP from Arunachal Pradesh said, “I have changed Nitin Gadkari’s name to Spiderman. Like the web of a spider…Nitin Gadkari has been laying wide network of roads in every corner of the country. Gadkari hai to mumkin hai (Gadkari makes it possible).” With the Narendra Modi-government in power, the speed of construction of roads in sensitive areas of the country especially on the India-China has border has picked up pace, Mr Gao asserted.
“With Modi government coming to power, the pace of road construction near the China border has also grown. Today, under Modi’s leadership, a two-lane road is being constructed till McMahon Line in Arunachal Pradesh,” he said.
“I hope that ‘Spiderman’ will continue to carry on with the speed at which roads are being built,” Mr Gao added.
Mr Gao said when as the BJP president, Mr Gadkari had formed a committee to visit sensitive areas near the Indo-China border and it took them several days to cover all the points due to poor condition of roads. Now roads are being constructed in all those areas, he said.

Regardless if you are accountable for a short driveway or a large parking lot, when we talk about your asphalt paving, the last thing you would want is to keep on maintaining it. Even if asphalt seems to be durable enough to endure several vehicles that keep on traveling along the highway every day, it can still be destructed. Aside from that, cold asphalt usually tends to be more brittle compared to hot asphalt. Hence, you need to prepare it a bit to help maximize its performance during the cold season. To help you maintain your asphalt paving, we are here to provide you some of the helpful tips you can consider doing:
Get rid of debris and inspect for standing water
Before the cold season comes in, you need to have your driveway be cleaned thoroughly and inspect if there’s standing water. Any debris that will remain on the surface as the temperature lowers might freeze and could eventually lead to damage, particularly if it has chemicals on it that can make asphalt weak. Removing standing water and cleaning debris can encourage safe and efficient removal of snow.
To protect your asphalt pavement from the elements, you need to ask your paving contractor to put an effective sealant to it. Sealant gives additional protection later that stops the damage from melting ice and snow, as well as motor oil, gasoline, deicers, and sunlight.
Repair holes and cracks
If your asphalt has potholes or cracks, it would be better to look for a paving contractor near you and employ him/her to repair them. Letting ice and snow to penetrate on damaged parts of your asphalt paving makes them bigger, which results in more costly and challenging repairs.
Utilize markers to secure from snowplows
Place some reflective markets to let everybody know where your pavement starts. This is helpful to prevent destructive snow plows to intrude on your asphalt.
Prevent de-icing products
Rather than using de-icing products, it is highly recommended to get your shovel and remove snow from the driveway in needed. A lot of de-icing products contain rock slat, which can weaken the asphalt’s binders. This could lead to premature wear and tear. If you really have to use a de-icer, you should choose one that won’t infiltrate the surface of the driveway, like potassium chloride.

Location: North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota
For a number of years, NDSU has erected a temporary inflatable dome structure over Dakota Field to provide indoor practice space for multiple sports on this Division 1 campus during the cold, inclement winter months.
This new, permanent, indoor practice facility will provide year-round practice space for football, soccer, baseball, golf and other activities in a climate-controlled environment with artificial turf field and abundant natural lighting. A new, adjacent outdoor field of artificial turf will provide warm-weather practice space.
Phase 1 construction consists of the 90,000 square-foot practice facility which features 71 ft. clear structure height at mid-field, retractable netting for various sports activities, elevated camera platforms, and 7 large overhead doors opening to the artificial turf practice field to the east. An additional 10,000 square feet provides space for building operations, restrooms, a locker room, and a warehouse.
Phase 2 includes a weight room and north entry addition, along with team locker rooms, training, laundry, and a recruitment lounge.
The project was completed in collaboration with Crawford Architects, LLC. Kansas City, MO.


After three years of closures and construction on the 91 freeway in the Corona area, the project is now complete.
The $1.4 billion project on one of the region’s most congested freeways has added two toll lanes and one general-use lane in each direction on an 8-mile stretch from Interstate 15 west to the Orange County line.
The milestone represents the culmination of a decade of work on the biggest project the Riverside County Transportation Commission has ever handled. Crews built or widened 32 bridges, improved five interchanges and realigned and repaved local streets. The capstone to the project was the eye catching 91/15 interchange with its flyover express lanes.
Downs Energy provided the bulk fuel and lubricants to the General Contractor and many of the subcontractors who worked on the project.
We are honored and proud to have to have played a small role on this large project that affects so many people.

First off, the public reacted quickly in many locations on the coast in response to a possible Tsunami. I am impressed and much more hopeful that when a major earthquake happens on the BC coast people are better prepared to deal with it.
Second, the earthquake was large but still a single point and in a location far enough away from the nearest settlements to not be one that caused major damage. The quake was 56 kilometers from Queen Charlotte City, this is close but not too close. In earthquakes location matters.
In 2010 and 2011 there were several earthquakes to hit Christchurch New Zealand. The first earthquake was 40 kilometers from the centre of Christchurch and even though it had a strength of 7.1M, it was not that seriously damaging. In February 2011 there was a 6.3M aftershock located only 8 kilometers from the core of the city. It was the second smaller earthquake that was much more damaging because it was so much closer to the core of the city.
How much a difference is a 7.7M earthquake to the sort of Cascadia subduction zone earthquake the westcoast will see some day? The last Cascadia earthquake on January 26th 1700 was 90 times stronger than the one that hit Haida Gwaii over the weekend.

"Not only do we take care of our mission of keeping America's waterways navigable, our beach renourishment efforts combat storm surge, prevent coastal erosion, generate Flyknit Roshe economic growth through increased tourism and provide opportunities for recreation."
"The dredge will work for 20 to 30 days dredging the Brownsville channel between the jetties, pumping material on Isla Blanca Park and the beaches of South Padre Island," said Alicia Rea, a project operation manager with the Galveston district.
About 300,000 cubic yards of dredged material will be placed on Padre Island beaches, Rea said.
"We partner with the city of South Padre Island, Texas General Land Office and Cameron County for the beach renourishment projects," said Isidro Reyna, deputy public relations officer for the Corps of Engineers Galveston District.

Choosing the right contractor is critical for the health and longevity of your home. It is essential to take the time to consider the proposed solution, the quality of materials, and the company’s reputation.
Look for companies with reviews spanning at least five years. Check their website for testimonials and contact numbers of previous clients.
In addition to wasting helpful living space and causing harm to building materials and stored goods, wet basements also contaminate indoor air and pose a health risk to all house occupants. A professional waterproofing company can prevent this by installing permanent solutions to address the issues. The right company will provide a free inspection and quote the repair cost.
Basement waterproofing contractors near me will first need to identify the source of the problem. It can involve inspecting the outside of the house for moisture-related indicators like soggy soil or a drip edge trench near the foundation, searching for wall cracks, and testing the functionality of the drainage systems. The contractor should also look at the yard’s grade to see if it needs to be re-sloped to direct rainwater away from the house.
The homeowner should choose a contractor based on their proposed solution, quality of materials, reputation of the company, and price. A good basement waterproofing company will have plenty of experience and will be able to show a portfolio of their work, including photos, references, and contact information. They should be able to address homeowner’s queries and thoroughly explain their procedure.
If the contractor discovers additional problems during a job, such as a damaged drain tile or a structural issue, they should be able to explain this and estimate those extra costs.
Homeowners need to find a basement waterproofing contractor with an excellent reputation. They can check the contractor’s record with local professional associations and the Better Business Bureau for complaints. They can also ask neighbors and friends for recommendations.
Keeping a house’s basement dry is essential for homeowners and their families. It might help reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew, which can lead to harmful health problems. In addition, it can increase a home’s value. However, finding a quality waterproofing company can take time and effort.
To choose an excellent waterproofing company, homeowners should consider their needs and budgets. They should also trust their gut feeling, check references and credentials, and request quotes from several companies. Finally, they should ask the company for a detailed plan of action.
Waterproofing contractors can provide various services, including drain tile installation, sump pump installation, and dehumidification. They can also repair a home’s foundation, refinish its interior, and seal cracks in walls and floors. Some can even install egress windows, which some older homes need. They can also offer various other services, such as cleaning and maintenance.
A basement waterproofing company should be able to provide homeowners with references from other customers. It is essential because it will give them an idea of what other people think about the quality of work. Homeowners can also look for online reviews and ratings of the company. It can help them find a company that is right for their needs.
Basement waterproofing companies should be able to offer homeowners long-running warranties. These warranties will protect the homeowner if there are any issues with the product or craftsmanship. It is essential if a homeowner plans to sell their home.
Waterproofing companies should also tell homeowners the best solutions for their homes. It will depend on the severe problem and whether the homeowner has significant leaks or cracks in their foundation. For example, a house with painful cracks in the foundation may need exterior waterproofing. Excavating the ground surrounding the foundation and installing a waterproof membrane are two steps in this solution.
Additional options include interior waterproofing, which entails setting up a sump pump and drainage system in the basement. This method can be more economical and less intrusive than external waterproofing. This solution is less invasive than exterior waterproofing and can be more cost-effective. A good basement waterproofing company should be able to explain the pros and cons of each option.
The cost of hiring a basement waterproofing contractor depends on the size of the job and the method used. Waterproofing solutions that involve digging around the foundation, such as a drain or membrane, are more costly than other options. Those repairs require an expert who can adequately excavate without causing further damage or creating new problems.
Another factor affecting the cost is if the house is prone to flooding or has a high water table. The contractors in these areas are usually in demand and can command a higher rate than those in other regions.
Homeowners can get a rough idea of the cost of hiring a basement waterproofing contractor by looking at similar projects in their area. They can also ask for a free estimate from several local companies.
The company should offer a long-running warranty. It protects homeowners against any faulty products or artistry moving forward. It’s also worth checking whether the company is insured, especially if excavation is involved.
Some homeowners might notice stains on their basement walls and floors, indicating it’s time to call for waterproofing. A waterproofing company can repair the stains and ensure water doesn’t leak into the house again. The company can install a window well drain ($3,000-$7,000), which stops the seepage that often happens when rainwater collects in the windows and flows toward the foundation.

Getting comfortable with using floodplain maps is an important part of participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and allowing residents in your community to purchase flood insurance. Maps can help you identify where it isn’t safe to build or where buildings need to be floodproofed. For instance, if a resident wants to build an accessory structure, you’ll need to use maps to help identify if it’s in a River Corridor (RC) and/or a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and how those designations influence the project.
Most floodplain maps were originally developed as part of the NFIP. There may be areas designated as floodplains that actually are at a much lower risk of flooding and may justify amending the maps with a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) through FEMA. Contact the FEMA Map Specialists for more information. And there may be areas that are indicated to be outside of the floodplain but actually could still flood. This certainly happenedduring Tropical Storm Irene. While not perfect, they’re still a solid guide for what areas are at risk of flooding and towns and cities need to use them to regulate building within the SFHA and the RC if a River Corridor bylaw has been adopted.
All RCs are mapped on the Flood Ready Atlas. Smaller streams with a watershed more than a half square mile will appear as yellow lines, for which the RC is officially fifty feet from the top of the stream bank. Learn more about River Corridors, how communities are reducing risk by protecting them, and how you might evaluate an application to build an accessory structure near one.
The mapping of SFHA is available on the same Atlas for about half of Vermont. NFIP paper maps were developed in the 1970’s to show SFHAs. FEMA has since created digital versions of some of these maps, including SFHAs for Bennington, Chittenden, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor Counties and the communities of Bradford Village, Hardwick, Jay, Montgomery, Newbury, Stowe, and Wolcott. SFHAs will show up on the Flood Ready Atlas in these counties/communities.
What If Your Community Isn’t Digitized?
You’ll need to look to paper maps at your town offices or PDFs on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center site if your community isn’t on the list above. Keep in mind that you might have a separate map for the SFHA and for the Floodway, an area of high concern for any development. If a separate map exists for the Floodway, it will also be found in the FEMA Flood Map Service Center under All Products.
Working With Zone A
There are multiple SFHA zones. You are very likely to run into Zone A floodplains. These do not have a determined Base Flood Elevation (BFE).
The BFE is the elevation (to the tenth of a foot) that has a 1% chance of flooding each year, or a 26% chance of flooding over the term of a thirty year mortgage. It’s an important number to know for determining where to elevate the lowest floor of a building, calculating flood insurance premiums, and determining if flood proofing is required.
Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to determine. Zone AE or Zones A1-30 do have a determined BFE, but you should still get a professional surveyor or engineer or documentation from a past study to identify exactly what the BFE is for a specific site.
For Zone A, get familiar with the NFIP Floodplain Management Requirements guide, starting on page 5-10. The following content is a summary from that section, but it’s best to feel comfortable with the details in order to keep your community safe. You can always call your Regional Floodplain Manager to discuss the details and get clarity on anything that isn’t making sense. Use them as your team to figure this out. It’s not easy and it’s important to get right because future permits and the physical safety and financial security of your neighbors may be based on the work you do.
Any new development or substantial improvement within Zone A needs to have a BFE determined as part of the application process. To start, you’re required to look through what already exists. Here are all the possible places you’ll find data that could provide the BFE:
- Check the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), Flood Insurance Study and municipal records, and check with your Regional Floodplain Manager regarding records and studies.
- Contact your Regional Floodplain Manager to see if FEMA, US Geological Survey, Army Corps of Engineers, National Resources Conservation Service, or Housing and Urban Development have conducted studies to determine BFE data for the site. The USGS may have also documented high water marks.
- If a body of water forms a boundary between two communities, the community on the other side may have a detailed study. Such base flood data are valid for both sides of a body of water.
- Existing State studies, including VTrans hydraulics studies for any nearby bridge or major culvert might provide BFE.
- Hydro-power dams likely have a study providing BFE for their federal license.
You could use data from any of these studies as long as they:
- reasonably reflect flooding conditions expected during the base flood,
- are not known to be technically incorrect, and
- represent the best data available.
If the BFE Doesn’t Already Exist, Hire Someone to Determine It
If none of the sources above are able to provide the BFE, the next step is likely to require the property owner or developer to commision a study to determine it. This requires hiring a surveyor or engineer and provides information about the channel and local valley cross-sections, hydrology, and hydraulics. Detailed studies typically use modeling programs such as the US Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS. The people conducting this study should review FEMA’s document on Managing Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas.
Permit Documentation and the Importance of Doing This Well
Whichever method you use to determine the BFE, be sure to record on the permit records where the flood elevation came from and any helpful notes about how it was determined. This will help you be consistent with future development in the same area.
We want to stress the importance of developing an accurate determination for the safety of your community and anyone who purchases this building in the future. When Hurricane Harvey swept into Houston, TX in 2017, thousands of homeowners suffered significant damage because their homes were built in reservoirs that were designed to flood. They never knew they lived in a reservoir because local officials who signed the development permits either didn’t do their homework or based their determinations on other permits that omitted that information, as reported by the Texas Tribune, and later in the New York Times. Keep your community safe and help people understand their flood risk with the help of your Regional Floodplain Manager.
If you believe the SFHA is wrong, you can work with FEMA to consider amending the map and obtaining a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA). You’ll need a surveyor or an engineer and you’ll want to start working with the FEMA map team and review Vermont’s guidance on the data for a LOMAin Zone A.
- Where are the Zone A flood hazard areas in your town or city?
- What other map resources and other studies are on file in your town office?
- Where are buildings with Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) or recently constructed bridges that can help determine the BFE?
- What other resources may be available to determine the BFE?
Zone A is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the I-percent annual chance floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by approximate methods of analysis. Because detailed hydraulic analyses are not performed for such areas, no Base Flood Elevations or depths are shown within this zone.
An Approximate Zone A is a special flood hazard area where BFE information is not provided. Areas subject to Coastal A Zone conditions (wave heights between 3 feet and 1.5 feet) may not be shown on FIRMs (see page 19).
Zone A is the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and is a high-risk area. This area is subject to the 100 year flood or to a 1 percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. No base flood information is provided. Base flood elevations (BFE) are determined for Zone AE.
In India, there are two insurance zones – Zone A and Zone B. Zone A consists of eight cities including New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad. Zone B comprises rest of India. Motor insurance premium is higher in the eight cities belonging to Zone A.
Flood zone X, also known as flood zone X500, is arguably the safest flood zone designation, as it's considered to be outside the 500-year floodplain and is also protected by a flood control system, such as a levee or dam, from the 100-year floodplain.
Flood-proofing is acceptable for non-residential buildings in AE and A Zones. Buildings must be flood-proofed a minimum of 2' above the BFE. Building Elevation compliance must be documented by submitting an Elevation Certificate (FEMA Form 81-31) at three stages during the construction process.
Building codes require most new and Substantially Improved buildings be at a minimum height of BFE plus one-foot. Thus, a new or elevated building in an "AE-6" flood zone would need to be elevated elevated to a minimum of seven (7) feet above mean-sea-level.
The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded).
The elevation of surface water resulting from a flood that has a 1% chance of equaling or exceeding that level in any given year. The BFE is shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for zones AE, AH, A1–A30, AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1– A30, AR/AH, AR/AO, V1–V30 and VE.
An elevation certificate is used to determine the height of a building in relation to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE), the computed elevation to which floodwater is anticipated to rise during a specified storm or flood event.
The average price of NFIP flood insurance in Louisiana is $726 per year, though how much you'll pay may vary significantly based on the location of your home.
|Zone A||Zone B||Zone C|
|Delhi/NCR, Mumbai including (including Navi Mumbai, Thane and Kalyan)||Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Chennai, Pune and Surat.||All Cities apart from A & B belong to Zone C|
B zone means areas between limits of the 100-year flood and 500-year flood; or certain areas subject to 100-year flooding with average depths less than one foot or where the contributing drainage area is less than one square mile. Sample 1Sample 2.
These items must be presented separately from items under 500g, and segregated by European Union, Rest of Europe, Rest of World Zone A (USA) and Rest of World Zone B.
AE zones are areas of inundation by the 1-percent- annual-chance flood, including areas with the 2-percent wave runup, elevation less than 3.0 feet above the ground, and areas with wave heights less than 3.0 feet. These areas are subdivided into elevation zones with BFEs assigned.
Properties more likely to flood at a greater depth have higher Flood Factors. Properties with less than 0.2% chance of flood water reaching the building footprint in every year analyzed are considered to have minimal risk or a Flood Factor of 1.
Areas classified as Flood Zone 1 are those that have less than a 0.1% chance of flooding. A Flood Risk Assessment is mandatory for sites of 1 hectare or greater in Flood Zone 1.
|IN||100-year floodplain, no BFEs determined.|
|B, X500||500-year floodplain (0.2% annual chance of flooding)|
|C, X||Outside 100-year and 500-year floodplain.|
|D, UNDES||Possible but undetermined flood hazards.|
Flood insurance in Florida's SFHAs
In particular, AE flood zones or any zone designated by the letters A or V have a 1% chance of flooding annually. If you live in an AE zone and have a federally backed mortgage, you are required to purchase flood insurance.
As there is growing pressure to find sites for housing, flood plain land is some of the cheapest available to developers. A flood plain is an area of flat land near a river, stream, lake or other open waterway that is subject to flooding when there is significant rainfall.
The BFE is used to determine the risk of flooding for each structure in A- and V-zones by comparing the BFE to the elevation of the lowest floor of the structure. If the structure is elevated above the BFE, it has a low risk of flooding and will receive lower flood insurance rates.
On the Elevation Certificate, the top of the floor is certified as the lowest floor in A-zones and must be at or above the FPE. The bottom of lowest horizontal member supporting the floor system is certified in V- zones and must at or above the FPE.
In a non-elevated building, the lowest floor used for rating is the building's lowest floor including a basement, if any.
Moderate flood hazard area, labeled Zone X, is the area between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone X.
Medium risk means that each year, there is a chance of flooding of between 1 in 100 (1%) and 1 in 30 (3.3%). Low risk means that each year, there is a chance of flooding of between 1 in 1000 (0.1%) and 1 in 100 (1%). Very low risk means that each year, there is a chance of flooding of less than 1 in 1000 (0.1%)
The "500-year flood" corresponds to an AEP of 0.2-percent, which means a flood of that size or greater has a 0.2-percent chance (or 1 in 500 chance) of occurring in a given year.
Zone A countries currently comprise Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany (including pre-unification claims on East Germany), Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi ...

An agreement announced on Monday between the state of Michigan and Enbridge, which operates a pipeline critical to the ongoing operations of Sarnia area industry, has eased concerns over a potential disruption in the supply of crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) to the area.
Enbridge has agreed to replace the section of the pipeline (referred to as Line 5) that runs under the St. Clair River, although the timing of that construction is not yet known.
Ken Hall, a Sarnia-based spokesperson for Enbridge, said a scope of work will be required before plans are submitted to the Canadian federal government. Only when that occurs can an accurate timeline of the work be determined.
In the agreement to replace the St. Clair River portion of Line 5, Enbridge will use horizontal directional drilling, an option that will also be assessed as part of a study involving twin pipeline sections that cross the Straits of Mackinac.
Enbridge has until June 2018 to study horizontal directional drilling as well as two other choices, one being the digging of a tunnel in which the two pipelines would be inserted and the third being the digging of a trench. Under that option, the pipeline sections would be placed into the trench.
While Enbridge asserts that its Line 5 pipeline is safe, it acknowledges that “our internal technical studies and understanding haven’t translated well into reassuring the public or Michigan leaders about the ongoing safe operation of Line 5. We apologize if our actions sometimes have created confusion.”
The company has agreed that it would temporarily shut down the operation of Line 5 when adverse weather conditions create sustained waves higher than eight feet in the Straits.
Enbridge has also said it would put into place additional safety measures to further mitigate a potential anchor strike from boats in the Straits.

Injection grouting waterproofing procedure, PU grouting is a specialized technique that involves the injection of extending polyurethane to stop any dilute streaming or through cracks or to fill voids under chunks, concrete joints or behind concrete walls and joints. This technique is exceptionally helpful and viable when utilized on the underside or negative side of the water drainage, for instance, from the underside of the water seepage or the lower floor roof for issues including upper and lower floor neighbors or in between floor water spillages. A pre-bored gap will be set up on the underside of the roof, and the PU grout will be infused utilizing low/high weight. The grout will at that point grow to completely top off the void, break or space that is brought about by the water harm. This PU injection can be utilized for concrete cracks or extension joints that are effectively spilling.
There are various kinds of grouts utilized to fix and reinforcing concrete and masonry auxiliary individuals. The choice of the sort of grout for a specific kind of concrete or masonry fix work ought to be founded on the similarity of the grout with the first material.
Polymer injection grouting depends on the utilization of polymers, for example, polyester, epoxy, vinyl ester, polyurethane, and acrylic tars. The most popular polymer utilized for epoxy grout is epoxy. Polyurethane and acrylic sap based polymers are utilized for the treatment of the water-holding structure, underground structures just as to forestall leakage of water.
Epoxy Injection grouting waterproofing procedure is a process whereby epoxy is constrained under incredible tension into cracks in concrete. When appropriately played out, the fixed split is really more grounded than the neighboring concrete, and the honesty of the surface is reestablished. The injection process is additionally used when water moves through cracks in structures, particularly in underneath grade circumstances where access to the outside of the surface can’t. By infusing the split with epoxy, not exclusively is the uprightness of the concrete reestablished yet additionally the water infiltration is disposed of.

A low-energy house is characterized by an energy-efficient design and technical features which enable it to provide high living standards and comfort with low energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Traditional heating and active cooling systems are absent, or their use is secondary. Energy is one of the most important catalysts in wealth generation, economic growth, and social development in all countries. Buildings have a significant share in total energy consumed globally; therefore, they have a profound impact upon the environment.
Energy is used in every stage of building life cycle (these stages are choice of locality, architectural design, structural systems and. The integrated energy system is driven by a salinity gradient solar pond (SGSP) absorbing energy from the sun; a schematic diagram of the proposed system is shown in Fig.
The SGSP stores thermal energy, mainly in the lower convective zone (LCZ). Heat extraction from the SGSP is accomplished by employing external and internal heat exchangers.
