Contracting & Council CCTV
SJ Allen's CCTV service films municipality sewer pipes and storm water drains with closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV). These show clearly root masses, flaws in joints, shingle build-up and pest animals.
Our CCTV units use the latest technology of pan and tilt self-propelled tractor cameras. Plus they have state-of-the-art win cam systems for data recording and reporting, which means we can fire electronic and hard copy imaging to you at the touch of a button.
Once CCTV has identified the problem, SJ Allen's enormously powerful water blasters will deal to it. Nothing cleans like H20 at 3,000 plus psi. Water at this pressure can cut through timber like a saw, obliterate tree roots, remove thick accumulations of paint and take barnacles off the hulls of ships.
Used in conjunction with water blasting, CCTV from SJ Allen is an effective and efficient maintenance tool for underground services.
When developing a subdivision, Councils require SJ Allen’s film inspection of new assets prior to amalgamating council service infrastructure. Councils also use CCTV as an asset management tool giving them a better picture of the condition of underground services such as stormwater & sewer as well as line bore inspection without costly excavations.

A roof, one of the most important parts of a house, requires maintenance, repairs, and needs replacing once every ten years. This necessary work can quickly get quite expensive. However, there’s a new alternative roof material on the market: steel. Steel roofing has many positives, including its long lifespan, reduction of heat inside the house, and resistance to wind, rain, and snow. This roofing material is a great option for your roof!
A normal, shingled roof requires replacing about every ten years. A steel roof, however, can last about as long as your house! Most companies cover their steel roofs between 20 to 50 years, and the paint on them can last up to 30 years. As long as it’s properly taken care of, you should have no worries with a steel roof. Search online today for steel roofing in Centennial, CO to find a reliable company to install one for you.
Reduction of Heat
A normal roof absorbs heat, which causes the temperature inside your home to rise. This causes costly air conditioning bills to keep the air cool inside your house. Steel roofing, however, reflects the sun, which means a much cooler home. In the summer, this type of roof will keep your energy bills much lower.
Resistance to Weather Elements
Wind, rain, and even snow are no match for a steel roof. Such elements will slide right off the steel, not allowing any weak spots to develop on your roof. Steel is even fire, mildew, and insect resistant. You should feel safe and protected by the durable material and strong seal created by steel roofing.
Investing in a steel roof today can save you time, money, and trouble later on down the road. Forget having to worry about replacing your roof every ten years, high energy bills, or weather. Don’t let anything delay you from calling A & H Roofing LLC to learn more about steel roofs today!


What is a Prefabricated Modular system?
- This is a process that constructs a building off -site, under controlled plant conditions, using the same materials and designed to the same codes and standards as conventionally built facilities. Buildings are manufactured in “modules” and when put together on-site, reflect the same design intent and specifications as the most sophisticated traditionally built facility – without compromise.
- Modular buildings, once assembled, are indistinguishable from their on-site built counterparts.
- Structurally, modular buildings are even stronger than conventional structures because each module is engineered to independently withstand the rigors of transportation and craning onto foundations. Once together and sealed, the modules become one integrated wall, floor and roof assembly.
- Building off -site ensures better construction quality management. Manufacturing plants have stringent QA/QC programs with testing protocols that promote superior quality in every step of the construction process.
- Beyond quality management and quality assurance, modular construction offers many other benefits to owners, investors and users.
Overall cost savings
- The use of prefabrication construction methodology allows cost savings at every phase of the production process due to mass production, for example: material savings at the procurement stage and labor savings at the construction phase additional savings can be associated with installation efficiencies and the standardization of the spaces.
- Shorter construction time inducing lower overhead costs, earlier opening of the new facility generating higher rate of return on investment (ROI) and systematic production under strict QC\ QA, hence reduced lost material and higher efficiency are all important parameters in the overall cost savings which are induced by using the prefabricated modular construction systems.
Minimizing Environmental Impact of the construction Process on the site
- Any construction project, no matter how well managed it is, will create at least some dust and debris. While this would not present a problem in most construction sites, in a hospital, school or kindergarten dust and debris can be life-threatening if not handled properly.
- Removing approximately 80% of the building construction activity from the site location significantly reduces site disruption, noise pollution, air pollution. Hence, for any active businesses, reducing on-site construction activity and thereby eliminating a large part of the ongoing construction hazards, is a tremendous advantage.
- As owners and designers look for more sustainable designs for improved environmental impact, modular construction is inherently a natural choice. Building in a controlled environment reduces waste. Waste is eliminated by recycling materials, controlling inventory and protecting building materials. This, along with improved quality management throughout the construction process and significantly less on-site activity and disturbance, promotes sustainability. Based on this evidence, the contribution of the modular prefabricated construction system to achieve “green Building”.
Safer Construction Environment
Safety remains a major concern for the construction management. Construction by nature has a high degree of hazardous activities. The price of construction accidents is high in terms of both Costs and suffering.
Accidents add a burden of needless and avoidable expense. Direct costs include medical cost and compensation. Indirect hidden costs include:
- Time lost from work by the injured party
- Loss in earning power, economic loss to injured worker’s family
- Loss of efficiency by breaking up crew
- Cost to train new or replacement employees
- Damage to equipment and tools
- Loss of production
- Cost incurred by delays
- Overhead costs associated with disruption of work
- Clean up and repair costs
- Administrative costs of investigations and reports
- Increased insurance premiums
- Loss of future projects due to adverse publicity
- Cost of fines
The indoor construction environment reduces the risks of accidents for workers as well as provides improved on–site working conditions, less noise and air pollution, less on–site traffic, turns the working zone into a safer environment with lower risks. Thus, giving additional value to the contractor cannot be neglected.
Choose your favorite material and reduce your carbon foot print
- Do you prefer wood frame or steel?
- Well-proven wood frame construction is ideal in construction where light weight is needed
- Steel frame modules enable a very rigid and long-lasting solution up to twelve floors and suit especially well into healthcare sector.

Tara Tolford, a research associate at the University of New Orleans’ Becker Transportation Institute, has been awarded a $142,463 grant by the Louisiana Transportation Research Center to research the most effective and cost-friendly avenues for the collection of data regarding bicyclists and pedestrians on a statewide level.
Tolford’s first step will be to figure out how many bicyclists and pedestrians are on the road and where the heaviest amount of traffic for the two is.
“Understanding how many people are traveling on foot or by bicycle on Louisiana’s roadways is essential to evaluating safety outcomes relative to rates of exposure, identifying appropriate, context-sensitive complete streets infrastructure interventions and understanding overall statewide and location-specific transportation trends which will impact long-range planning and investment.” Tolford wrote in her research proposal.
Tolford has been part of an effort to estimate the amount of bicycle use there is in the heavier populated areas of New Orleans. This method has included students counting bicycles.
“You can’t really do that on a statewide basis. We are interested in figuring out how we can scale it so that we can collect data across Louisiana,” she said.


Greening our building seems to be a big issue for us. It is difficult for us to construct a green building with water efficiency , sustainable energy, renewable building materials. However, I think the government in Hong Kong should concern renewing many buildings by constructing different kinds of green roof.
As Hong Kong is very crowed place, constructing green roof is a space saving green measure.
It has the advantages listed below ….
– temperature reduction–> (reduce the use of air conditioner)
-improve air quality
-reduce sound transmission through absorption, reflection and deflection
– provide a relaxing and soothing atmosphere
Different kinds of green roofs
1) Podium Garden
2) Sky Garden (photo taken in IFC, HK)
3) Vertical Greening
Instead of really greening our building, we can do our part in our daily lives to green our buildings which includes….
1) using energy saving appliances (energy saving fridge/ light bulb/ washing machines)
2) open more windows to adopt natural light instead of turning on the light all the time
3) Using water saving gadgets in our household appliances
We are not able to construct a new house with all greening measures, but we can try to do our little part in our household to turn our building into a green building. 🙂


A project funded by a Chinese company named Goldwind has the aim of setting the first large-scale hybrid wind and solar farm in Australia. The hybrid park will be located near Canberra together with the existing Gullen Range wind farm and is expected to produce 22,000 MWh of electricity in the first year of operation; this amount of energy could supply about 3,000 homes.
The main objective of this hybrid park is to create a more reliable source of energy by saving money in construction and in connectivity costs. With this two types of green energy generators the carbon print will be reduced significantly and since both energy sources are complementary, they can work at different times of the day and year.
The project is still under construction but it is expected to be complete by July of 2017, and certainly it would be a very ambitious and positive project. How successful it will be, we do not know yet but for now it emerges as a good sustainable alternative to be implemented in other countries.

Old, grainy photograph purported to be of William MacKenzie standing outside St Andrew’s Church.
Last year I told everyone the story of William MacKenzie – you can read the full story here but here is the short version. William Mackenzie was an Anglo-Scottish Civil Engineer and Civil Engineering Contractor who was one of the leading European contractors in the 1840s. He was born near Nelson, Lancashire, England, the eldest of the 11 children of Alexander Mackenzie, a Scottish contractor, and Mary née Roberts. He started his career as an apprentice weaver but changed to civil engineering, becoming a very successful civil engineer undertaking work on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway between Edge Hill and Lime Street. During his lifetime he amassed a large amount of money.

At the beginning of The Assault on Afterlife segment of the mission Omega: Aria T'Loak, defeat the Cerberus forces in the water treatment facility. When the bridge across the water channel is destroyed, raise the dam and cross it to the other side. Immediately on your right, there should be an access ladder on the side of the catwalk that descends into the part of the channel that was just drained. Climb down, and beneath the destroyed bridge are the remains of Aria's couch in a pile. If you interact with the couch Aria will ask: "Is that my couch?", and the mission will be completed.


We are so proud of our budding engineers at IAA. Four groups of Grade 8 & 9 students have put in long hours planning, designing and constructing a bridge out of balsa wood that follows specific criteria. Last week, all four bridges were put to the test as the audience waited impatiently to see the bridge that can withstand the greatest load. It was a close race, but at the end only one bridge carried 6.2 Kg before it collapsed. Congratulations to Haya Al Asali, Huda Salameh and Maya Shaban as they have now advanced to the next round, where they will once again put their bridge building skills to test as they compete against other schools in Amman. That competition is one organised by the Civil Engineering Students of the University of Jordan.


The top development trends in the Kingdom in 2023 are factory automation, smart living, and smart working. These trends are accompanied by technological solutions that are transforming real estate (RE) in the Kingdom. Currently, the construction sector in the Kingdom is in its progressive state with positive growth prospects. The Deloitte Survey revealed that 75% of construction companies experience project delays due to ineffective supply chains. With greater plans for smart cities such as the NEOM, automation of construction cannot be overlooked. The growth process and prospects of ideal life balance must be accompanied by technology for the RE to enjoy various benefits.
Benefits of Technology Solutions
- Efficient planning and estimation. Construction software enhances collaboration with players within the supply chain to ensure that team members receive prompt notification in the event of delays.
- Better tracking of activities. Software tools paired with GPS are vital in tracking the location of assets and monitoring the activities of the team.
- Reducing prediction errors. The role of property technology in precise prediction is valuable in simulating real-world conditions to inform planning.
The benefits of technological solutions in the REmake a big difference between those who succeed and those who fail when venturing into construction space.
RE PropTech Transforming Construction
Customer relationship management has played an important contribution to relieve RE stakeholders from data extraction that compromised time management in construction. For example, using the CRM, contractors can schedule, report, and quote management while consultants rate contractors to make informed decisions. The software also facilitates record-keeping for ease of accessibility when a new team takes over construction work.
Jobsite Management Software
The onsite management tools with GPS are important aspects to consider when undertaking construction projects. In the event of an accident, filing an accident form is instant to enable the manager to take timely action. These tools perform functions such as improved communication, effective collaboration, and organized recording of activities.
Various design software such as Autodesk BIM 360 plays a critical role in eliminating construction errors and potential design issues. They allow for the creation of virtual models and improve floor plan management and visualization of other property elements. The construction design team that relies on the use of design software are not only effective but is empowered to accomplish tasks satisfactorily. The technological transformation of design aspects due to proptech put tech users ahead in the game.
Project Management Software
Contractors who are assigned project management understand the need and value of technology to get the work done right! There is a need to have an overview of the activities such as procurement, budgeting, task assignments, and workflows. As a result of Proptech, the construction project manager can tackle multiple projects at the same time without feeling the constraint. While the software doesn’t guarantee success, it provides an opportunity for effectiveness in dealing with the challenges that limit project managers in the industry.
Other prop-tech transforming the industry such as data analytics software which ensures that contractors do not miss opportunities for forecasting remains valuable to RE stakeholders.
In sum, Proptech remains to be handy in the transformation of the RE industry, especially in the Kingdom where mega projects such as The LINE and the Red Sea are in the pipeline. The application of the right technology will play a key role in meeting sustainability objectives as well as the timely delivery of the projects. Proper integration of technology in the construction process remains valuable in the pursuit of vision 2030 given their role in enhancing productivity among the workers in the industry.


The Auckland Sky Tower is one of the city’s most popular landmarks.
But that wasn’t always the case. When discussion first started in the 1990s about building a structure along the lines of Canada’s CN Tower, there was very little public support for it.
It didn’t matter that the final design embraced the concept of the village church spire and the minarets of Istanbul’s Hajia Sofia. The public, for the most part, just saw the tower as a ‘gigantic hypodermic syringe infecting the Auckland skyline.’
As the first stage of construction began, with the installation of a 150 meter concrete cylinder, the public likened the tower to a huge sewer pipe.
But despite public resistance, the tower continued to grow, eventually reaching a height of 328 meters and becoming New Zealand’s tallest man-made structure.
And fifteen years down the track, the tower is now not only very much a part of Auckland’s skyline but is also one of the first places Aucklanders send visitors to get a birds eye view of the city.
One floor down from the main observation floor, at 182 meters above the ground, is the Sky Lounge, possibly the only place in the world where you can sit and have a coffee while watching people fall out of the sky and hanging around outside the coffee shop window.
Of course, it’s a sight that would be quite off putting if you didn’t know that a few floors up was the staging post for the Sky Tower Bungee Jump.

Are you wondering what an underground downspout drain is? There are many common misconceptions about understanding what this is, as many people believe it is a gutter. This is not true.
Both the gutter and the underground downspout drain are parts of an overall drainage system that help to protect your house from rain!
Your house is able to withstand millions of gallons of water in the form of rainfall due to these systems.
This article will teach you everything you need to know about underground downspout drains to ensure your house remains safe and protected! Let’s dive right in!
What Is An Underground Downspout Drain?
Underground downspout drains are integral to the protection of your home. They are the drains that connect to the gutter on the roof of your home.
These drains have a very important role. They carry the rainwater that your gutters catch, and take them to the underground drainage systems. The water that travels underground is then carried away from your house, where it is dumped.
Without an underground downspout drain, your house would very easily become damaged by water. This damage could occur on the inside or the outside of the home if it is not properly protected.
Most of these drains are situated underground. They are dug underground so that they can meet the pipes that will carry the water away from the house. All of these drains are usually made from PVC.
This is because this material is very strong and durable. It is also a very affordable material, making it much more desirable for these types of projects.
Where Can I Find The Underground Downspout Drain?
These drains connect to the guttering on your house. Usually, the pipes will come off of the gutter at a place where the roof is at a steep angle so that the water flows there.
These pipes will then run underground where they carry the water away from the house to join the drainage system.
Not only do these drains prevent flooding, they also prevent the build-up of moss, mold or mildew on your roof that can be caused by dampness.
How To Choose Your Underground Downspout Drain
There are lots of different materials that you could use for your underground downspout drain.
You can opt for PVC, plastic, copper, galvanized steel or many other materials.
When you are choosing the material for this drain, you need to remember that the downspout also goes underground. For this reason, it needs to be made from a very sturdy and durable material, such as PVC.
Installing A Downspout Yourself
If you are a do it yourself kind of person, then installing a downspout yourself is definitely doable. It will save you a lot of money in the long run. If you do choose to DIY this project, then you will need to consider the following:
- The size of your downspout. You need to make sure that you have purchased the correct size.
- The number of downspouts. It is important that you have enough downspouts to serve the whole gutter system around your house. Usually, you will need one every 20 feet.
- Where you put your downspout. It is best to place them in the corners of your gutter so that they collect the most water.
- Safety. Make sure that you are installing effective and safe plumbing, and that you are safe while you are doing so!
- The material of your downspout. Ensure you choose a material that is durable and reliable.
If you are choosing to install these drains yourself, then you will need to ensure that you have planned this before you start. This is because it needs to comply with the regulations.
Getting A Plumber To Install A Downspout
If you don’t want to install the downspout yourself, then you should get a plumber to do it for you. This is a great way to make sure that your house is properly protected, and that your drainage system is top range.
While it is much more expensive to have a plumber install the underground downspout drains in your home, it is much safer and may save you a lot of money and heartache in the future!
Should You Consider Installing An Underground Downspout?
There are many advantages and disadvantages to having an underground downspout drain.
If you have an underground downspout installed, then you are investing in the future of your home. It is a great way to waterproof your home without taking up any space, too.
They are also fantastic at preventing flooding or water damage to your home.
As well as this, these products are underground, so they don’t look too bad in your garden.
You can also install other waterproofing remedies alongside this one. You can install a sump pump, a dehumidifier, and vapor barriers, among other things.
Downspouts can clog up over time, causing difficulties with the water flowing. They are difficult to maintain, as they are underground.
It is also difficult to service them because of where they are.
They work in areas that have a controllable amount of water. If your area gets very large volumes of water, then you may want a more effective system.
If you live in an area with heavy flooding that occurs often, then this may overwhelm the system of the underground downspout drain. You may end up with the water overflowing. In this case, you will need to make sure that you install a much more robust system.
This is a complete beginner’s guide to underground downspout drains! Now, you should have all the information you need about these drains.
Whether you’re just looking to understand how they work, or you’re considering installing them in your home, you will find what you are looking for in the article above!

Many accidents have occurred on the Ero Omo Kilanko community road but that of July 15 is still fresh on the minds of residents of the area. It was night, and rains had flooded the newly constructed road.
Before the Toyota mini bus could manoeuvre to avoid the ravaging water on the road, the driver and two commuters on a motorcycle found themselves in a ditch.
“We had to rush them to the hospital that night. It was very unfortunate that two of them suffered permanent damages,” Abdulrasaq Quadri, a youth in the community recounted.
The accident was avoidable as the community recently benefited from a N50 million constituency project fund to construct a 4.5 kilometre road in 2017. The project was facilitated by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The Accountant General of the Federation said at least 70 per cent of the funds was released for the project.
At the entrance of the road lies two signages, erected by two companies both laying claim to the project. RKK Inspire Limited and Royal Value Int’l Limited raised their signage almost side by side.
However, when a team from UDEME, an accountability project of the Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism, visited in September, work done on the road was found poorly executed.
The road which was said to have been ‘completed’ in March 2018 had no sign of new construction. Its light asphalt surface had been eroded in most areas and the contractor only tarred less than one kilometre of the five kilometre specification.
It would be hard to convince a newcomer that it is a new road. One of the youth in the community, who helped mobilise resources as part of community effort to make the road motorable, Abdulrasaq Quadri, lamented.
“It’s disappointing that government can do this kind of shabby job for us. See what they called road – no drainage, potholes scattered and rendered almost impassable.
“They didn’t tell us the nature of the project, we just woke up one day to see contractors start work on the road. When they started, we were happy and our people started dancing to show appreciation, little did we know the joy will be short-lived courtesy of poor execution. We wouldn’t have been optimistic if we had known government’s intervention will further complicate our lot as a community.”
Ero Omo Kilanko Road constructed in March
Many residents who spoke to the team said the road was better off without the shabby construction with the level of maintenance the community youth put into it.
Mr Quadri said the community had recorded expenses to the tune of N400, 000 in construction of bridges and drainages before the arrival of Mr Saraki’s intervention.
Another youth, who identified himself as Temitope said the contractor only poured asphalt on the road without making efforts to provide a drainage system.
“If they will do this road at all, they need to do the drainage first, water gushing out whenever there’s rainfall causes serious hazard. The one they did was just a one sided drainage.
“When we challenged the contractors, they complained the ministry only paid them for a one-side drainage. Even the drainage they constructed, they only used blocks and not concrete. If you trace the road down the street, you’ll see the bad road they did.”
The road has become a ‘headache’ for motorists who would prefer it be left the way it was before construction.
“Before they tarred this road, we cried to the government in the past to ensure the road is passable,” lamented Mr Bolaji Adebayo, a civil servant. “This road links to many places. Most times, when there’s traffic on the main road, people boycott the roundabout and ply this route to Ajase, Offa and others.
“I as a person who plies this road, when they did this road, we thought they haven’t completed the road, but we are surprised that less than two weeks, we started seeing potholes, the drainage was not properly done. As you can see, this road was done in March but instead of improvement, the state of the road has gone from bad to worse. The hardship we have faced recently is more than what it used to be before they touched it.”
On this day, he couldn’t drive as his car developed fault. He told the team he spends about N10, 000 more on maintenance of the car monthly. This cost, which he claims he incurred due to the bad condition of the road, is N7, 000 higher than before.


You might be wondering about the different types of toilet flush tanks. These include floatless fill valves, dual cyclone systems, and the tower style. But how do you know which flushing system is right for you? In this article, we'll go over the most common types of flushing systems, including the tower-style, floatless fill valve, and siphon. Read on to learn more.
Floatless fill valves for toilets are very popular and are often adjustable. This is good news for those with low-profile toilets since other fill valves don't fit into this design. You can also use universal fill valves on classic tanks if you have a high-profile toilet. While cheap fill valves might not be ideal for your situation, they are usually very reliable and come with high customer ratings.
Floatless fill valves for toilets send water in two directions. Water flows from the bottom of the fill valve shaft, and the float cup is attached with a long plastic screw. You can raise or lower the water level in the tank by turning the float cup along the valve shaft. After making the adjustment, flush the tank to check its level. When the water level is lower than the desired level, turn the screw again to raise or lower the float cup.
A double cyclone flush system for toilet flush tanks uses a dual mechanism. The dual mechanism creates a centrifugal cyclonic rinsing action inside the toilet bowl. Water is forced through the flapper by a chain and flows from the tank into the bowl. The flapper then returns to its original position when the water level in the tank decreases. A newer dual system allows the water to flow in a two-way pattern, varying the amount of water for liquids and solids.
A siphon flush system works similarly to a ballcock. Water rushes through a flapper located on the tank's lid. The water reaches the bowl through an S-shaped bend and creates a force to push waste and water through the bend. Once the water level reaches a certain level, an in-built float valve closes the flow and sends the water back to the septic tank.
If you've been considering installing a new toilet, you might be thinking about purchasing a Tower-style toilet. This style of toilet flushing system is designed with a canister-style flapper that rests in the centre of the tank, connected to a flush handle. When you push the flush button, the tower lifts off completely, allowing water to flow from the tank to the bowl at a 360-degree angle. This means water enters the bowl faster and has a stronger flush.
The tower-style toilet flushing system is the most common type of toilet flushing system. This toilet flush tank style is similar to the traditional flapper toilet, but it uses a separate valve. The tower is a large, round cylinder with a round rubber gasket that holds water in the tank. During a flush, the tower lifts upward. The water then flows out through the overflow tube. Tower-style toilets typically have two different valves - one for each side of the tank - and the bottom one sits below the bowl.
A siphon flush system for your toilet tank works similarly to the ballcock flush system. A siphon tube is attached to the back of the toilet, and when the water rises, the siphon fills up and begins the siphonic action. This action quickly flushes the water and waste in your toilet bowl, while pulling on-rushing tank water down the drain. Most of the water leaves the bowl within a few seconds. Once the water has emptied, a valve opens in the toilet tank to allow more water to enter the bowl.
A siphon flush valve will not can wear out or leak easily, and will work for a long period of time. The siphon membrane does not need to be replaced every few years, but if you want to you can with a small price. Siphon flush valves require little maintenance and are a great option for anyone on a budget. But make sure you read the instructions carefully.
Many toilet manufacturers add a glossy coating to the tank to ensure a smooth flush and to keep water away from the rim. This makes the bowl cleaner with every flush. Most toilets consume a good amount of water per flush. Additionally, flush toilets are effective in cleaning and produce less noise than standard toilets. And Orient Ceramics is committed to ensuring that all communities have access to good sanitation services with its highly functional product range.

|Título:||Fire behaviour of tabique walls|
Traditional building techniques
|Citação:||Araújo, Alexandre; Fonseca, E.M.M.; Ferreira, Débora; Piloto, P.A.G. Pinto, J.M (2015) - Fire behaviour of tabique walls. In International Fire Safety Symposium 2015. ISBN 978-989-98435-3-0. Coimbra, Portugal.|
|Resumo:||The tabique is one of the main Portuguese traditional building techniques, which is based on raw materials as earth and wood. In general, a tabique wall is formed by a simple timber structure covered by an earth-based material. Earth has an important role in this system because it protects the internal timber structure along with its finishing function. The Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro is the northeast region of Portugal and it is very rich in terms of tabique construction heritage. Nowadays, the existing tabique constructions show a generalized and advanced stage of deterioration [1, 2, 3]. This aspect, associated to the fact that there is still a lack of scientific studies in this field, motivated this research work which main goals are to study, both experimental and numerical, the behaviour of this solution in terms of fire reaction using different earth-based material thicknesses. Also, it is intended to motivate and to give guidance for future rehabilitation works in this field. In relation to the earth-based mortar, and based on previous studies, it was shown that it is a material with adequate fire resistance. When exposed to fire action the wood material shows a decomposition process (pyrolysis) and produces a surrounding charring depth layer. On the fire exposure side a charcoal layer, without effective resistance, causes the reduction of the element cross-section. However, this charring depth layer can delay the heating process, from the exposed side, to the wood core section and act as an excellent insulating material. When compared to steel or concrete structures, wooden structures have therefore an improved structural behaviour .|

As a contractor, there are many scenarios where you may need to remove a precise area of concrete on a job site. A simple jackhammer may be appropriate for straight forward demolition jobs. However, if you need to maintain the integrity of the surrounding areas of concrete, it won’t do the trick. Precision concrete cutting offers a clean, effective solution for these particular situations.
When you don’t want to demo an entire area of concrete, traditional concrete removal tactics can cause problems. The vibrations from heavy-duty equipment such as jackhammers can cause stress fractures in the areas of concrete you want to protect. However, our method of concrete cutting does not cause any vibrations. Instead, we use a specialized blade and water to remove the exact areas of concrete you specify.
Even if your concrete cutting job requires getting into tight spaces, we have the experience and equipment necessary to get the job done. We have the ability to do concrete cutting of all sizes with complete accuracy. Plus, our seasoned concrete cutting professionals can ensure that no surrounding areas of concrete are compromised in the process. If a scenario arises where collateral damage is unavoidable, we have the expertise necessary to spot the issue before the job is complete. We will work with you to come up with the most efficient way to approach your concrete removal project.
One of the major benefits of concrete cutting is that we can get most jobs done incredibly quickly. When you’re on a deadline, you can’t afford any downtime on your job site. When you call on our team for your precision concrete cutting needs, we can have our crew members out to your job site quickly. We always go above and beyond for our clients to help you keep your job on track.
There’s no denying that traditional methods of concrete demolition can be messy. However, our wet-cutting methods keep dust levels down and concrete pieces to a minimum. That means less cleanup time is required once the job is done. It also means that the air quality around your job site won’t be compromised by an influx of concrete dust like that which can be generated by using jackhammers.
At Sneve Bobcat Service, we are the area experts when it comes to precision concrete cutting. When you need a precise area of hard space removed, our team can get the job done quickly and efficiently. Traditional demolition methods can take a great deal of time, costing you more money than necessary. Plus, when you risk the chance of compromising areas of concrete that you don’t want to replace. A demotion mistake can put your job behind schedule and over budget.
The next time you require a precision concrete demolition job, contact the experts at Sneve Bobcat Service. We offer quality, top-tier service at some of the most competitive prices you’ll find. Contact our office today for a free estimate.


GODFREY – A new pavilion outside Reid was constructed in December, and the story behind it is as unique as the structure itself.
Luke Jumper, coordinator of Architectural Technology and CAD/Drafting, developed the idea for the project after seeing a similar type of structure designed and erected by architecture students at Washington University.
“I’ve been using this project for several years for the architectural design class as a way to teach them space-making without the hindrance of more advanced designs’ technical detailing,” Jumper said. “This year, not only were the students able to design the structure, they were also able to work with other Lewis and Clark students (in the Highway Construction Careers Training Program) who built the pavilion. It has been a great learning experience for all of us.”
Thanks to the unique design of four of Jumper’s architecture students, the carpentry skills of many Highway Construction students, and recycled wood from the Winfred Godfrey art exhibit, the pavilion is a reality.
“The concept is to use simple geometry and building techniques while students consider elements of architectural design such as views, adjacencies, shading, shadows, and other basic design considerations,” Jumper said. “This is evident when you visit the pavilion at different times of day and view it from different angles.”
Jumper contacted Jeremy Elledge, program coordinator with the Highway Construction program who agreed it would be a great learning experience for his students to build the pavilion.
“This project proved to be a great partnership which encouraged communication and cooperation between the architecture and highway construction students,” Elledge said. “It was a real-life learning experience where designers and builders learned the value of communication and working together to achieve a common goal.”
Jumper said the structure is very durable and could stand for several years. This design, or future ones could also be used at schools around the area.
“This project went so well we hope to be able to do this every year. We could disassemble the structures and use the parts to build a structure of a new design,” Jumper said.
Two of Jumper’s students will go on to study at the University of Illinois, and two plan to go directly to work in architecture after finishing their associate degrees.
Graduates from the Highway Construction Careers Training Program have more than a 75 percent success rate at post-training employment gains. Furthermore, one of the Highway Construction graduate students who helped build the pavilion has gained a staff position with Lewis and Clark Community College’s YouthBuild program as an ambassador construction trainer.

If you’ve ever been hit with an unusually high water bill, you might have quickly discovered a sprinkler leak in Colorado Springs, CO. Even small leaks can waste around 6,300 gallons per month. From flooding to your water bill going up, sprinkler leaks can be quite costly. Not only do you need to pay for the water that was wasted, but you’ll also require sprinkler repairs. What’s worse, if your city uses wastewater averaging, one leak can cause your water bills to go up next year.
The best way to avoid this is to prevent leaks from happening in the first place. Here’s what causes irrigation and water leaks in Colorado Springs, CO, and how to prevent them.
What causes sprinkler leaks?
There are several reasons you might notice a sprinkler leak—here are the reasons and how to spot them:
- Sprinkler head leaks: Sprinkler heads can leak when they’re missing, cracked or broken. This type of leak is easy to spot—it looks like a geyser of water erupting from your sprinkler head. Sometimes these leaks are caused by wayward lawn mowers, kids playing roughly or vehicles running over the sprinkler heads. Other times, the fittings are cracked. You might also see water spurting or pooling on the ground. If this is the case, get the number of a great sprinkler repair contractor and call right away for repairs.
- Valve leaks: Valves can wear out and rupture or crack. They can also suffer from obstructions, which prevent the valves from closing properly. If you notice water pooling around your sprinkler head while the system is turned off, it’s probably a valve problem. Alternatively, it could be that water froze in the sprinkler head, expanded and cracked the sprinkler head—that’s why it’s important to winterize your sprinkler system before the cold temperatures set in.
- Pipe leaks: Finally, you could have a pipe leak. They’re characterized by soft, wet ground between sprinkler heads, pooling or depressions in the ground and even mushrooms growing in a patch. You might notice that your sprinkler heads barely spout water, or that they’re spraying dirty water. This is the most devastating kind of sprinkler leak, and needs to be repaired immediately.
Preventing water leaks
If you don’t relish the thought of unexpectedly expensive water bills, it’s crucial that you take good care of your sprinkler system. The best way to do this is have it inspected and repaired every year, and make sure you winterize it before the first deep freeze. Your sprinkler repair contractor can make sure all the components are in good working order, and that there are no signs of leaks.
Winterizing your system involves removing all the water from the pipes and components before the weather drops below freezing. If your sprinkler system freezes with water still inside, it will crack the components and cause big problems in the springtime.
Dealing with water leaks in Colorado Springs, CO is no fun, but the team at Affordable Rooter can help you repair or prevent them. Call us today to get started.

This is a direct copy of the development brief text, as
presented to Fife Council by Cambo Estate in support of:
as per planning applications:
The original can be found here
Cambo Estate Development Brief
1.1 This Development Brief has been prepared for the 2.6
hectares site west of Kingsbarns, identified as being suitable for housing and
open space within the Finalised St Andrews arid East Fife Local Plan 2009. The
Development Brief is intended to provide guidance, which will ensure a high
quality and sustainable development is achieved and which will be sympathetic
to the special character of Kingsbarns.
1.2 This Development Brief has been prepared following
discussions with Planning, Housing and Transportation Officers of Fife Council,
a community meeting held at Kingsbarns on 10 December 2008 and the return of
questionnaires by those who attended the community meeting, as well as a
meeting with Kingsbarns Community Council held on 26 January 2009.
1.3 The development of the overall site is anticipated to
provide for a mix of tenures including 10 no. affordable dwelling houses
financed by the Scottish Government's Rural Homes for Rent pilot scheme, 2 no.
affordable dwelling houses for rent funded by the applicant, with the remaining
housing being sold on the open market.
1.4 Two planning
applications have been submitted. The first application seeks detailed
planning permission for the erection of 22 no. dwelling houses to the south of
Station Road and the formation of a village green. 12 no. of the dwelling
houses will be rural homes for rent (10 no. of which are grant funded) with the
remaining dwelling houses being sold on the open market. A Design Statement has
also been produced for this application and forms part of this submission. The
second application seeks planning permission in principle for residential
development to the north of Station Road.
2.0 DEVELOPMENT PLAN
2.1 The Development Plan comprises of the Fife Structure
Plan 2008-2028 and the adopted Large and East Neuk Local Plan (1995). The site
is located directly adjacent to the settlement boundary of Kingsbarns in a
2.2 The Structure Plan requires the provision of 30%
affordable housing for the St Andrews and North East Fife Housing Market
2.3 The Finalised St Andrews and East Fife Local Plan
(2009) identifies a 2.6 hectares site to the west of the square and adjacent to
the existing settlement boundary of Kingsbarns which is capable of
accommodating 40 no. dwelling houses. A requirement of the finalised Local Plan
is that a Development Brief is produced in conjunction with the community, and
approved by Fife Council and which will include formal open space (e.g. a
3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 The overall site lies on the western edge of Kingsbarns
which itself is some 5km south east of St Andrews on the A917.
3.2 The site straddles Station Road and comprises
agricultural land which is open in nature and is currently used for grazing. A
dilapidated agricultural shed is located within the south east corner of the
site, and is to be removed as part of the proposal.
3.3 The site is bounded to the east by the settlement of
Kingsbarns. Immediately to the south east of the site is Kingsbarns Primary
School. Across the road is the village post office and shop as well as a church
and the square.
3.4 Kingsbarns is a Conservation Area and there are a
number of listed buildings bounding the site and which are primarily within the
historic core of the village.
3.5 The site slopes gradually upwards from east to west, is
open in nature and there is little in the way of natural screening. The site
has no defensible western boundary.
4. PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT
4.1 Development will have particular consideration for the
sensitivities of the site which lies adjacent to the Kingsbarns Conservation
Area. Particular attention will be paid to views into and out of the
4.2 The height, massing and detail of building designs will
respect the character of the locality and will not exceed two storeys. It is
envisaged that the built development will be a mixture of single, one and a
half and two storeys.
4.3 The main element of open space will be positioned south
of Station Road and west of Main Street. This will create not only a village
green, but also a resource for the primary school, a play area for children,
and a local open space feature next to the Conservation Area and existing
Housing Layout and Design
4.4 In addition to respecting the character of Kingsbarns,
the site will be developed in a manner which pays due regard to the open nature
of the countryside area to the west and the amenity of existing residents to
the south east and north east.
4.5 Building design will reflect local distinctiveness and
incorporate local design features evident in important buildings in Kingsbarns.
Features in Kingsbarns which will be emulated in the development include
pantile and natural slate roofs, dormer windows and plain white or pale colour
4.6 In addition to the village green within the western
part of the site, a series of amenity open space areas will be created
throughout the site connected by footpaths and residential roads. An area will
be reserved for a sustainable urban drainage system.
4.7 The development will be designed so that important
views into and out of Kingsbarns will be maintained as far as possible.
4.8 High quality building materials and building forms
shall be used throughout the site which will achieve a visually interesting
residential development that is traditional to Kingsbarns and this part of
north east File. Key areas will focus on those dwellings fronting onto the
village green and Station Road.
4.9 Roof finishes will incorporate pantiles and natural
slate. Wall finishes will incorporate plain white or pale colour render.
Windows and doors will be constructed of timber, with ancillary buildings such
as car ports and garages matching the same high quality finishes as the
4.10 Surface materials such as roads, footpaths as well as
boundary walls, shall be of high quality, and in appropriate locations block
paving shall be used as an alternative to tarmac, Where boundaries are
prominent in the Street scene, walls and native hedging rather than fencing
shall be used. Close board fencing wilt only be used at the rear of the car
ports on the south side of Station Road with post and wire fencing used to
sub-divide rear gardens during the establishments of the hedges. On the north
side of Station Road, fencing will only be used to sub-divide rear gardens and
in locations where it will be inconspicuous.
4.11 The finalised Local Plan states that the 2.6 hectares
site can accommodate an estimated 40 no. dwelling houses as well as a
significant area of open space such as a village green, as well as the
possibility of allotments. It is estimated that the village green and
associated landscaping will measure around 0.54 hectares. This leaves a gross
developable area for housing of 2.06 hectares, giving a gross housing density
of 20 no. dwelling houses per hectare.
4.12 It is an aim of this Development Brief to help meet
the housing needs of residents of Kingsbarns. There shall be a mix of dwelling
types and sizes that will reflect the diversity of the population and will add
interest to the development as a whole. A mix of terraced, semi-detached and
detached dwellings is envisaged, with these being a mix of single storey, one
and a half storeys and two storeys. The outcome will be a housing development
where type of tenure or occupation is indistinguishable within the site.
4.13 The finalised Local Plan requires that 30% of air
housing shall be affordable within the St Andrews and North East Fife Housing
4.14 It is envisaged that 12 no. dwelling houses will be
social rented housing, with grant assistance from the Scottish Government's
Rural Homes for Rent pilot scheme for 10 no. of these dwelling houses. These
dwelling houses will accommodate prospective tenants from Fife Council's
housing waiting list, with a vetting procedure administered by Cambo
4.15 The remaining 28 no. dwelling houses (10 no. to the
south side of Station Road and 18 no. to the north side of Station Road) will
be sold on the open market for family accommodation.
Highways, Access and Parking
4.16 Planning permission for the site will be subject to
the implementation of satisfactory access arrangements, junction improvements,
local traffic and pedestrian improvements and appropriate car parking.
4.17 Discussions with Fife Council's Transportation
Services has identified a need to realign the junction of Station Road and Main
Street further to the south in order to achieve sufficient vehicular visibility
splays. Other road safety improvements could include traffic calming along Main
Street a maximum speed limit of 20mph along Main Street and a pedestrian
crossing on Main Street and Station Road.
4.19 Access roads internal to the site will be to adoptable
standards and will incorporate features such as traffic calming, shared
surfaces and pedestrian priority surfaces.
4.20 It is important that the development is not dominated
by roads and car parking areas. Access roads and car parking provision shall
not be visually intrusive and shall be designed around the location and
orientation of buildings.
4.21 Car parking provision will be in accordance with Fife
Council's Transportation Development Guidelines and each house shall be limited
to a maximum of two or three parking spaces, depending on the number of bedroom
within each house, with the development also accommodating an agreed number of
visitor car parking spaces.
4.22 The provision of a comprehensive hard and soft
landscape design scheme will be an integral part of the overall development.
The landscape design scheme shall provide an attractive setting for the built
development and the village green and will soften the impact of the development
on the surrounding area.
4.23 New native tree and shrub planting will define the
open boundaries of the site, particularly to the west, north west and south
4.24 A series of amenity open spaces will be created within
the built development. A multi-functional village green will also be created
and landscaped as appropriate.
4.25 Dwelling curtilages will be defined by native
hedgerows wherever appropriate and in particular those dwelling curtilages to
the south of Station Road and next to the village green.
4.26 Sufficient infrastructure is either in place or will
be constructed to support the development.
4.27 Surface water drainage will be dealt with by way of a
sustainable urban drainage system. Foul drainage will link in with existing
adopted drainage infrastructure.
4.28 Gas, electricity and water supplies are accessible and
available to the site.
4.29 Regular bus services run between St Andrews and
Kingsbarns. Services are more frequent during the week, but they are also
available on Saturdays and Sundays. Services are convenient for those wishing
to travel to work by public transport, for children attending school in St
Andrews and for those wishing to travel to St Andrews on other business.
4.30 The development will maximise cost efficient and
practically implemented opportunities for energy efficiency in building design
and layout. Renewable energy technologies will be considered and integrated
into the development where appropriate.
4.31 All public and private lighting design shall ensure
that there is no unnecessary light spillage or undue impact on any neighbouring
4.30 Crime prevention is a material planning consideration
and therefore the layout and design of the development will have due regard to
this issue. Crime prevention will be addressed by including concepts of
defensible space, security lighting and access control. The creation of safe
and open footpaths, open spaces and parking areas which enjoy natural
surveillance will be a key design element of the proposal. back to

Альстер (приток Эльбы)
Альстер (нем. Alster), р. в Германии, приток Эльбы. Длина — 56 км. Самая известная часть реки — Альстерзе, которое находится в черте города Гамбурга. Альстерзе активно используется для отдыха жителей. На реке построено 9 шлюзов, а также имеется около 100 мостов.
The Alster is a right tributary of the River Elbe in Northern Germany. It has its source near Henstedt-Ulzburg, Schleswig-Holstein, flows roughly southwards and reaches the Elbe in Hamburg. In the centre of Hamburg the Alster has been dammed. The Alster forms two artificial lakes in the city of Hamburg.
The source of the Alster river is a small bog pool in the Timhagen Brook near Henstedt-Ulzburg, approximately 25 km (16 mi) north of Hamburg. It is 56 km (35 mi) long and has an incline from 31 m to 4 m above sea level. The drainage basin is about 587 km2 (227 sq mi).
Hamburg—Germany's second-largest city—is the major landmark for the river. Through ponding the river, the artificial lakes Außenalster (outer Alster) and the smaller Binnenalster (inner Alster), and the surrounding parks serve as an important recreational area in the heart of the city.
Hamburg was founded at the mouth of the Alster river in the 9th century and used it as a port. The water was used to flood the moats of the fortifications. The Alster has been dammed since 1190, originally to power a watermill. In 1235 a further dam was built for a second mill, which changed the shape of the river to be like a lake.
In the 15th and 16th century, an Alster canal was built to connect Hamburg with Lübeck. The canal was about 8 km (5.0 mi) long and built from the Alster to the Beste, a tributary of the Trave river, at Sülfeld. Because of the difficulties in holding water, especially near marsh areas, the 91 km (57 mi) long waterway from Hamburg to Lübeck was navigable from 1529 to 1550 only.
The city of Hamburg expanded along the shores of the Alster river, and several locks were constructed to make the river navigable. Until the 19th century water transport with barges were used up to the town of Kayhude. The barges—transporting building material, fuel, and foods—were staked or hauled.
The Alster Touristik GmbH (ATG), a subsidiary of the Hamburger Hochbahn, provides public and touristic transport on the Alster in the city of Hamburg.

Many owners pay great attention to the material, price and design effect of stair railings when purchasing stair railings. In addition, the size and height of stair railings are also very important. We must not buy them. ignore. So, how high is the home stair railing? Below the stair handrail manufacturers share with you some tips on the height of stair railings, for your reference when purchasing stair railings.we are provide decorative stair post,you can know it.we can guarantee the quality of decorative stair post.
1.At least one side of the stairs shall be provided with stair railings. When the net width of the ladder reaches three streams, stair railings shall be provided on both sides.
2.When the width of the stair section is more than 3000 meters, the middle handrail should be set.
3.The height of the indoor stair railing should not be lower than 0.9 meters before the step. When the horizontal armrest on the side of the stairwell exceeds 1.5 meters, the height is not less than 1.0 m.
4.The height of the stair handrail of the residential building is not less than 0.9 m. When the length of the horizontal section of the stairway is greater than 0.5 m, the height of the handrail is not less than 1.05 m, and the clearance between the vertical bars of the stair railing is not more than 0.11 m.
5.The height of the indoor stair railings in activities such as schools shall not be less than 0.9 cm. The height of the outdoor stairs is not less than 1.1 meters.
6,in addition to the adult handrails, the stairs should be placed on the side of the wall, the height of the child is not less than 1.6 meters.
7,the stairs should be firmly set, continuous handrails, the height is not less than 0.85 meters.
Buy the stair column and don't forget the details
1.First consider the location and styling factors of the renovation staircase. Stairs are especially important for the layout of the home improvement. The space occupied by the stairs and the entrance and exit of the stairs must be carefully considered. Stairs are typically placed in dedicated stairwells or against corners of the wall so that they do not waste space or disrupt the overall layout. The entrance and exit of the stairs should be set according to the principle of convenient walking and the shortest walking route.
2.Next consider the material of the stairs. The material of the stairs should be determined according to the style of the home decoration. The Chinese style should be purchased with a solid wood staircase. The modern minimalist style should be purchased with a steel-wood staircase. In addition, if there are old people or children in the home, the solid wood staircase is more suitable.
3.The width of the indoor staircase is generally about 90 cm. If the single-layer area is large, it is appropriately lengthened to 95-100 cm.
4.The height of the stair handrail should not be less than 90 cm and should not be too high.
5.The gap between the balustrades should not be greater than 11 cm. Excessive clearance is not conducive to the safety of children. Usually the child's head cannot be extended.
