THERMOSAF STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS
Structural Insulated Panels (SIP's) are also commonly called sandwich panels, and have a layer of insulation between two layers of protective outer skin, often made of coated steel for durability and structural strength.
The use of sandwich panels in modern construction is gaining popularity for good reason:
Steel-clad sandwich panels have been used for modular structures for over 40 years, particularly in the cold storage sector. Their on-going use proves the functionality of sandwich panels in providing creative solutions for the construction sector. The buildings are energy-efficient requiring less energy to heat or cool, and are easy to maintain. Many structures have been used for 20 years and more with little expenditure.
Insulated panels are also widely used for clean rooms, packing houses, controlled atmosphere storage facilities, prefabricated buildings and low cost housing. They are also increasingly used in the construction of class rooms, offices, clinics, barracks and mining infrastructure where energy supply is limited.

Over a period the foundation of the building needs to be taken more care. The soil condition and other natural factors may affect the quality of the foundation, and if the experts feel that the load-bearing capacity of the foundation is being compromised, they need to take prompt action and carry out various processes to restore the strength of the foundation. One of such processes is known as re-blocking. One can also take it as the same process of re-stumping but the difference between both is in the re-stumping there are pillars while in re-blocking whole blocks are replaced.
In the process of re-blocking all the blocks on which the foundation is fixed need to be changed. It is also a tricky process and hence thorough analysis of the foundation, factors affecting, various aspects of the building and probable damage must be carried out by the qualified engineers and contractors before initiating the process. If required the building also need to be evacuated so that any casualty can be avoided. All the concerned officers such as builder, supervisor, engineer, architect, and planner need to be present while the process of re-blocking is on.
The significance of the process:
This process is much important under the circumstances when the foundation of the building is at stake. There are some factors responsible for this situation, which are as under:
- Renovation of the building: In many cases, the old buildings are sold, and the buyer tries to have maximum use of the old structure rather creating a new one. It helps him to save a good amount in terms of money and time. To enhance the strength of the foundation, the re-blocking is an easy and quick option in such cases.
- To Protect flooring: If due to reasons of rotten foundation or root of a tree, the flooring of the home or building is affected, the re-blocking can help it. One can get it done before the whole flooring is spoiled.
- To avoid cracks: In case of rotten wood or corroded metal, the stumps or blocks of the foundation get cracks which can increase in numbers and size over a period. It can lead to poor support to the foundation and to avoid such situation one can get the re-blocking done.
- Uneven flooring: If the material beneath the flooring is of poor or sub-standard quality, the level of flooring can be uneven over a period. In case the stumps are made of wood, they may get rotten, and it can lead to uneven flooring. To avoid this situation, the re-blocking can be a perfect option.
- Infestation by termites: If the old blocks quality is compromised due to insects such as termites or poor soil quality or pressure of soil, the best way to save the foundation is to go carry out the re-blocking only. It can save the foundation from being weak and a huge monetary damage to the builder also.

Heat-Kit Bakeoven Page Gallery Links Library
This is a custom masonry heater for a new infill house in downtown Ottawa, and is designed to be the main heat source for the house. It features a corner ceramic glass window on the living room side, and a separate loading door in the hallway. It is finished with local Kingston ledgerock (sandstone).
|We documented the construction with a
Kodak DC-50 digital camera, and posted images to this
page as the construction progressed
|Tuesday April 8:
The foundation is in and the chimney is built (the brown 4 ft. level is leaning against the chimney)
|The heater core will sit on the insulating base pad, which has just been poured, using a vermiculite/portland mix. The cutout in the pad is for outside combustion air supply and as an ashdrop into the basement foundation ashpit.|
|Wednesday April 9
Supporting structure for firebox floor includes air channels for combustion air and airwash for doors.
|Precast firebox floor is installed. To the right is a downdraft heat exchange channel followed by an updraft channel. The crossover between the two channels is visible. A third channel will downdraft and exit into the chimney opening visible to the right, at floor level.|
|Thurday April 10
The two heat exchange channels are up to the top of glass door height. The two white strips are ceramic fiber expansion joints
|The firebox walls are up to the top of loading door height. The ashdump is visible in the firebox floor|
|View from the loading door side. The slot at the front of the firebox floor will become the combustion air inlet.|
|Friday, April 11
Loading door lintel is in place. Welded cantilevered lintel assembly for corner glass window is installed onto a levelling bed of castable refractory.
The brackets welded to the bottom of the lintel are for slide-in heat shields (1.25" thick firebricks)
|Warming oven is installed at far corner. It is cut
from a piece of 8x12 Reftratco refractory concrete flue
liner. Immediately above is the chimney connection for
the bypass damper.
Note that the heat exchanger partition wall has been thinned to 2.5" to provide extra cross sectional area at the start of the downdraft channel. The transition is faired with castable refractory.
Check back here on Wednesday night - the core should be done and ready for the sandstone facing!

Thurs. April 24:
Update: Sandstone facing starts tomorrow.
|Tuesday April 27:
Sandstone facing in progress
|Thursday May 1:
Working on the hallway side.
|Friday May 9:
More stone. The stone was not planned originally, and required a lot of cutting because of extra corners that were created. Also, some stone needed to be ripped thinner on a diamond saw due to clearance problems. The clent's finish requirements on the living room side were also fairly exacting. The result - lots of labour, 80 hours (2 man crew), so far.
|Thursday May 14:
Finished stone - total labour on stone was 95 hours. Will install custom ceramic glass corner window later.
|View from hallway side, coming up basement stairs. Warming oven door is installed. Loading door will be installed in opening to the right. At bottom are two cleanouts for heat exchange channels|

PennDOT to Host In-Person Public Meeting Members News February 14, 2023 The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Engineering District 4-0, will present preliminary plans to the public for the Interstate 81 (I-81) Reconstruction Project at a plans display meeting on February 15, 2023, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Dunmore Elementary Center gym at 300 West Warren Street in Dunmore, Lackawanna County. Attendees can learn about the planned improvements to roadway surfaces, structures, interchanges, and future traffic flow on the seven-mile stretch of I-81 between Exit 178 in Avoca and Exit 185 in Scranton. The public is invited to submit their feedback and questions at the meeting, by mail, or online throughout the comment period, which extends from February 15 to March 15, 2023. PennDOT will deliver a formal presentation and host a question-and-answer session during the meeting at 6:00 PM. An informational video illustrating the final condition of the highway will also be available. During the comment period, digital copies of the project plans, the project video, and a comment form will be available for the public to view on the project webpage, which can be found on the PennDOT Engineering District 4-0 website at https://www.penndot.gov/RegionalOffices/district-4/PublicMeetings/Pages/default.aspx. Click on the Lackawanna County box, then choose the tile marked “SR 81 (Interstate 81) Section D46 (Avoca to Scranton) Reconstruction Project”. The project area begins at the northern end of the existing Avoca Interchange (Exit 178) and includes the Moosic Interchange (Exit 180), Davis Street Interchange (Exit 182), and River Street and President Biden Expressway Interchange (Exit 184 and 185). “Our main goal is to reduce the frequency of crashes and traffic congestion along this corridor,” said Richard N. Roman, P.E., District Executive for PennDOT Engineering District 4-0. “We’re planning to widen the highway from two lanes to three lanes and improve the location of exits, as well as correct issues with roadway curves and lanes. These upgrades will improve the driving experience once the project is complete.” The proposed design calls for the removal of left-hand exits and standardizes roadway curves and lane widths. The new roadway will widen into the existing median and, upon completion, will include three 12-foot travel lanes and two 12-foot shoulders in both directions. Traffic along the new highway should flow freely based on predicted vehicle usage data for the year 2055 (or about twenty years post-construction) developed for traffic studies. PennDOT also studied various environmental and historic factors while developing the preliminary roadway designs. These factors included (but are not limited to) socio-economic features, waterways and wetlands, historic properties, and waste concerns. Overall, the design avoids impacts to most of the identified environmental and historic resources in the project area. The I-81 Reconstruction Project (Avoca to Scranton) is just one of six highway improvement projects in the region that are advancing through design or construction under the direction of PennDOT and/or the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. In-depth planning and design work for the SR 81, D46 project is still underway and will continue through the end of 2027. “Because we are in the early stages of this complex project, construction isn’t expected to start until Spring 2028,” Roman said. During construction, PennDOT will maintain two lanes of traffic in both directions. In total, the planned improvements are estimated at $500 million. The project documents can be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested. If you need translation/interpretation services, have special needs or concerns that require individual attention, or would like to submit a general question or comment, please contact the project team at I81Reconstruction@aecom.com.

Construction: Date of the Start of Construction of the Building
is very Important for Any Construction activity to Begin. Auspicious
Dates Bring out Better Results. –
Some of the Few Considerations are Given Below The Nakshatras Rohini,
Mrigshira, Chitra, Hast, Swati, Anuradha, Uttarashdah, Uttar Bhadrapad,
Uttar Falguni, Dhanshtha, Shatbhisha, Revati are good for starting
the house construction work.
Days - Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are good days to start
construction work. Sunday or Tuesday should be avoided.
Construction started in Shukla Paksha brings happiness, while
Krishna Paksha is not considered too auspicious
- Clearing &
Leveling of the Land: Clearing of the Land of Thorny plants / dead
trees and Rocks in necessary before any construction activity to start
(Especially in the North-East). Also Leveling of the piece of Land
(Which I am Sure is in the hands of the contractors) Plays a Very
Important Role in Vastu Shastra. Proper Leveling with certain portion of
the Land bit higher than the Other Creates a very Good flow of cosmic
energy thus ensuring uninterrupted construction activity and proper flow
Sthapana (Vastu Pooja): SHANKU means Energy Converter And Shanku
Stapna is the Pooja Done for Laying the Foundation Stone and praying to
the SHANKU ,which Plays a Very Important Role to remove the Negative
radiation/Energy from the Piece of land . Different people Use Different
Shankus or (Energy Converters). Pooja is offered to this Shanku and Then
its Buried in the Exact Mid-point of the Plot, As it is Believed that
any form of Energy Moves towards the Center /Midpoint of the Plot and
Having a Shanku Buried there Will ensure suppressing the negative energy
thus Avoiding any Harm to the Construction Activity.
Point of Construction: As per the Principles of Vastu-Shastra, The
Starting point of Construction of Building on the Plot is Very
crucial. Construction is Generally Beneficial when Started from The
South-East Portion and Moved in a Clockwise Manner. This will ensure
smooth construction activities.
Construction Companies in the business of construction of Roads and
Bridges They Should Always Follow the Principle of Starting from a
Negative location or Energy point and Moving towards a positive Location
or Energy point. This automatically pushes the Project faster with
uninterrupted flow of finance”
Of the Builders / Contractors Office: Every Builder/ Contractor
builds a Temporary Site office at the Construction Site. Proper
Placement of this Office at the Site, Including sitting arrangements of
the Contractor / managers etc facing the Best Directions enhances the
energy level of the persons working on the project. This helps in
getting better results from the staff and managers working on the
Project. The best placement is th ethe south or the West of the Site .
With the Owner/ Builder/ Manager sitting facing East and rest of the
staff sitting facing North.
of Machinery / Construction Material: Proper Placement of the
Machinery and Construction Material is also very crucial to generate
positive energy and ensures favorable movement of the project. Electric
Machinery will give positive Results when placed in the Agni Sthan.
Other materials like Sand and Bricks Should be Placed on the Prithvi
Sthan or The South. Placement of Temporary Water tanks for Construction
is of Utmost Important as Water is a powerful form of ENERGY. They
should at no cost be placed in the South –West. This will definitely
cripple the Project and will bring losses to the Developer.


Roof inspections are important to properly maintain your home. By making routine inspections you can prevent problems such as termites and leaks, which could end up costing you a lot more money. This post provides information on the importance of inspecting your roof. There are so many roofing contractors who are offering free inspections to its customers. Rocket Roofing Corp Company is also offering free inspections to the building owners or home owners and guiding them with the best solutions, giving information about how to prevent all the roofing problems with the roof maintenance programs. Always make sure to hire a professional roofing contractor. Below is the link to Rocket Roofing Corp Company's roof inspection web page roof inspection
People generally go for roof inspection after long winter or rain storms, But checking the roof a bit more often than once a year is advisable. A roof that is neglected can cost you way much more than what it should, so the preventive measures , frequent roof inspections can save lot more money and even increases roof life time.
How often To inspect
Although the rule of thumb is to inspect either annually or bi-annually, it depends
on other factors too. Checking annually is okay if there have been no extreme weather events in your locale. High rise buildings are often inspected on a monthly basis because of the wind factor.
High winds can damage shingles, causing damage to the interior infrastructure, and large ice buildups can often damage flashing and the roof membrane. Ice buildup in gutters can push up under the edge of the roof, leading to infrastructure damage.
Flashing are the metal pieces in a roof that cover interruptions in the roof plane, such as around dormers, chimneys, and vent pipes. If it appears there is damage or leaks, fix these problems right away by calling a professional roofing contractor. Inadequate or faulty flashing will allow snow melt to enter the interior, causing not only infraustructure rot, but possible damage to interior walls.
Asphalt roofing materials have a granular surface, much like fine gravel. As the asphalt shingles ages, it becomes brittle, and these granules will come out over time. If you see a lot of these granules in gutters, chances are the roof is aging. If you notice shingles curling up, it is time for roof replacement.
If your roof has wooden shake or shingles, look for signs of dry rot or warp age depending on the climate of your locale. A metal roof has a design life of 50 years if maintained and properly painted. Metal roofing comes in galvanized iron or steel, aluminum, copper. Pitting, rusting and corrosion are the signs for roof replacement. The slate, tile and asbestos are prone to ice damage.
Call a trusted and experienced roofing contractor to do the roof inspection for you. Many roofing contractors can be scheduled on a bi-yearly basis to come and inspect your roof at free of cost.


Keystone College Rain Garden
Keystone College’s nationally recognized efforts in environmental sustainability continue with the completion of a rain garden, located outside the Office of Admissions. Nora Dillon, assistant director of the Keystone College Environmental Education Institute (KCEEI), initiated the project by applying for a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) grant in 2010. The DEP grant awarded Dillion $7,500 in order to complete the project.
The grant provided funding to build the rain garden, as well as educational opportunities for those interested in building rain gardens themselves. With the help of Sodexo staff, Tom McLane Associates, and student volunteers, the rain garden was completed in May 2012.
The rain garden serves as an essential addition to Keystone’s environmentally friendly green campus by sustaining some stormwater runoff in the area and preventing certain environmental concerns. The location outside the Office of Admissions is ideal due to the slight hill in the landscape, since stormwater typically runs into the road below it. With the completion of the rain garden, more water will absorb into the ground, therefore preventing stormwater runoff which can cause pollution, flooding, land erosion, and other environmental concerns.
The rain garden is not only environmentally beneficial to Keystone’s campus, but will also provide a beautiful place for students to gather.

Central London To Get iPad Controlled Variable Street Lighting
It isn’t exactly a well-hidden fact that the Apple iPad is the most popular tablet available on the market today. With over 100 million iPads shipped since the original launch in 2010, and that total being added to daily as consumers grab the fourth-generation iPad and iPad mini, Apple are streets ahead of the competition in the tablet market. If additional proof was needed that the iPad will continue to dominate the industry then the fact that Westminster City Council are preparing to make significant investment in iPad controlled street lighting throughout London should go some way to provide it.
Councilors and local government officials have long been looking for a way to reduce the cost associated with the vast amount of street lighting needed throughout central London and have been running a pilot scheme involving the system in an attempt to gauge how successful the move would be. Replacing the local street lighting with the iPad controlled system will allow council employed engineers to easily monitor the status of the lighting network and quickly respond to any issues or problems that are highlighted on what would essentially be a dedicated mobile or web app running on the iPad.
The roll-out of the scheme will take place over the next four years and will see more than 14,000 street lights in the central London area be adapted with the new smart technology. In an effort to save the cost associated with running the UK’s vast public street lighting systems, local councils have experimented with actually switching off lights at night to save energy and running costs. However, due to the heavily populated London location it has been deemed that the £3.25 million investment in the variable lighting solution is an appropriate course of action to take.
Westminster City Council have calculated that the scheme will come attached with a seven-year payback period, the majority of which will be saved through more efficient use of the lighting and also needing to deploy technicians and engineers when they are sure an issue exists. In addition to the seven-year payback period it has also been estimated that £420,000 a year will be knocked off the bill of council tax payers in that vicinity.
With immediate feedback to engineers when a problem occurs, or is even likely to occur, the smart lighting system is yet another example of local government adopting the advanced technology on the market to maximize efficiency in the area. With the education industry and local government having enough faith and confidence in the iPad, the device can only go from strength to strength.


Shandong Hi-Speed Company has started applying asphalt on the Juba – Rumbek Highway with a successful completion of the experimental pavement on Monday.

Development projects will often incorporate a cork filler board to ensure a safe and secure structure is put in place.
When walls and heavy pavements are left exposed to the elements, it pays to have a versatile component in place that looks after the integrity of the structure for the long-term.
This is why this particular design is a valuable development commodity for contractors at all ends of the market.
Rather than leaving the construction to chance and hoping that it will withstand wear and tear from internal and external factors, this is a proactive strategy for participants who want nothing but the very best of this natural technology.
Providing Strength & Security
Given that the cork filler board is implemented within the parameters of concrete structures, they have to be strong by design. Also known as expansion joints, the corked-based material will expand within concrete connection points and slabs, helping to absorb vibrations and prevent cracks and fissures from occurring. In essence, once you incorporate a cork filler board, you support structural integrity for walls when thermal and weather conditions wreck havoc in an exposed environment.
Durable Material Selection
The great benefit for those contractors who are integrating a cork filler board is that the natural cork material is designed to last the distance. So much so, they have been examined and tested over the generation, delivering results into decade five and six since they were originally installed. By and large, they will match the lifespan and longevity of the structure they have been formatted for, providing consistency and peace of mind for developers who do not want to be engaging in additional projects for the sake of the filler board.
Suitable for Public & Private Use
From the domestic and the commercial to the public and private sectors, the implementation of a cork filler board works for operators across the spectrum. These high-performance designs are often showcased across highways, freeways, along with airport development structures, spanning heavy duty concrete pavements, and around residential and commercial building settings. With the use of a raw material that is 100% sustainable, it is considered an eco-friendly solution that works for brands and homeowners alike.
Customisable in Size & Shape
The actual process of manufacturing and developing a cork filler board is a fascinating process. Once it has been procured from its cork oak tree source, it is stripped, treated and washed before moving onto the next phase. Here the material is mixed with resins, granulated and channeled into separate segment blocks. This allows the product to be customised according to the size and shape profiles of the client.
Easy Integration & Free Project Quoting
For domestic and commercial clients alike who are taking a closer look at the use of a cork filler board, they will be able to contact suppliers for a free quote of the materials. These expansion joints are easy to install without engaging in the high-level labour and time involved with similar developments, so those savings can be passed onto the client. With few logistics to consider, the only decision that participants need to make is regarding placement and how they will integrate with the overall structure.
For those developers that want to integrate a resilient structure for public or private use, they will do well to incorporate a cork filler board for the project. Of course, there will be specifications depending on the compression cycles that will be assessed by the project manager at the time of the quote, but there will be uniform packages that work for customers according to their environmental profile. They might not be products that feel like they add a lot of value at the time, but the ongoing prevention of erosion and disaster makes them a key asset.

ECOREB project is structured around three areas of research: (i) water and recycled materials, (ii) mechanical behavior of concrete with recycled aggregates and (iii) durability.
1 Water and recycled materials
The objective of the topic “water and recycled materials” is to develop methodologies to quantify the impact of process of saturation / desaturation of the recycled characteristics of fresh concrete and hardening materials: the rheology of fresh concrete time handling, the plastic shrinkage behavior and the risk of cracking associated to the changes in the micro and meso structure while curing. This line of research will lead to recommendations for the formulation of concrete made from recycled materials, recommendations for the treatment of fresh concrete and mastery of plastic shrinkage and cracking associated.
2 Mechanical behavior of concrete with recycled aggregates
Previous studies have shown that existing models (Eurocode, ACI codes, CEB or Chinese) can not be applied to concrete with recycled aggregates and that such differences are observed for high rates of substitution. The objective of this line of research is to develop models to determine the relationship between the mechanical properties. This is to develop a macroscopic model (elasto-viscoplastic damageable) to describe the behavior of recycled concrete under monotonic loading, cyclic and deferred based on an experimental approach.
The objective of the issue “sustainability” is to evaluate the influence of aggregates from recycling on the performance of concrete durability. It is studying the parameters controlling the corrosion of reinforcement (carbonation and chloride ion migration), the design of coatings of concrete with recycled aggregates, resistance to freeze / thaw, durability indicators and evolution of microstructure using recycled aggregates.

Today’s Checkatrade expert is Nick Underwood, owner of 1st Choice Improvements.
Many people choose to build low brick walls in their gardens, sometimes to surround ponds or seating areas, sometimes just for decoration. For the DIY competent this is a relatively straight-forward process and can be highly rewarding. But if it goes wrong mistakes can be costly to rectify, so follow the steps below.
• Ready-mixed mortar
• Ready-mixed concrete
• Hammer and bolster chisel
• Plastic sheet
• Sheet of plywood
• Brick trowel
• Spirit level
• Plumb line
• Garden lines and pegs
• Timber boards
1. Laying the foundations
All walls need a firm foundation. Mark the position of the wall using garden lines and pegs to ensure it is square and dig the foundation trench along its length. For walls up to 1 metre it will need to be at least 35 centimetres deep. If the soil is soft or unstable it may need to be deeper. Check the trench is level and its sides are vertical using a spirit level.
Mix the concrete according to the manufacturer’s instructions, pour it into the trench and chop through it with the shovel to dispel air and work it in. This concrete layer is known as the ‘footing’ and for a low wall should be around 150 millimetres thick. When this is finished cover with a plastic sheet and leave to harden for a few days.
2. Mortar preparation
First, at each end of the trench put timber profile boards and stretch guidelines between them to mark the width of the wall. This will keep it square while you are laying bricks. Next mix the mortar on the plywood sheet to protect the ground. Use a spade with a chopping motion to fold the mix together and eliminate concrete streaks. The mortar should be a consistent colour and stiff enough to hold its shape.
3. Laying the first row
First, lay a thin layer of mortar (about 1 cemtimetre thick) along the footings. Apply mortar to the first brick with a ‘buttering’ motion and place it on the footings with the brick’s hollow (known as the ‘frog’) facing upwards. Lay the first row of bricks, ensuring they are straight and level using the spirit level.
4. Build the rest of the wall
For single thickness walls, the simplest arrangement of bricks is called a stretcher bond. This is where bricks are staggered over the joints of the layer below, with half bricks used to finish off the ends.
When laying bricks, use a constant 1 centimetre thick layer of mortar in the joints and clean excess mortar off with a trowel. Keep the spirit level handy to ensure the bricks are level and square. If the bricks are too low raise up and add more mortar. If they are too high tap them down. Use the plumb line to check corners are vertical. Carry on laying rows of bricks until you have reached the desired height, finishing the joints before the mortar dries and using a smaller pointing trowel to neaten the finish. Do not rush; take the time to do it properly. It may take several days.
5. Finishing top or coping
The simplest way to finish a garden wall is to lay a top layer of bricks with the frog facing downwards or lay them vertically to create an attractive finish. Alternatively, use decorative coping or capping bricks that match the wall, engineering bricks, concrete caste coping slabs or narrow slabs that match your garden paving.
Running a piece of dowel across the joints and a using a stiff brush to remove excess mortar will neaten them up. Cover the wall with plastic sheeting to protect the mortar from the elements while it sets.

Structural fabrication refers to the cutting, bending, and assembling of raw materials—generally steel—to create finished products, systems, and structures. It does not include any operations focused on strengthening or repairing the material. Below, we provide some examples of typical structural fabrication projects.
Applications of Structural Fabrication
Structural fabrication projects are highly varied. They can range from buildings to bridges to other large structures. One of the most commonly used materials in these projects is structural steel, which exhibits many beneficial properties that make it ideal for use in structural applications. Some examples of typical structural steel fabrication projects include:
Structural steel is the top material choice for the construction of industrial buildings due to its high strength, good durability, and ease of fabrication. Since it is strong, it can create stable buildings. Since it is durable, it can produce buildings that require little to no maintenance or repairs. Since it is easy to fabricate, it can be used to make buildings quickly.
Structural steel is also widely used for the construction of residential buildings. Structural steel-framed buildings are built similarly to wood-framed buildings. However, they offer better reliability and longevity.
Structural steel is used to make parking garages for reasons similar to why it is used to make buildings. It is strong and durable, which allows for the construction of stable and reliable parking garages.
One of the most common structural steel fabrication projects is bridges. The material has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which is highly beneficial for the large structures. Additionally, its durability ensures it can endure the weight of vehicles and pedestrians and withstand the conditions of the environment in which it is erected.
Other Large Structures
Structural steel’s high strength and low weight make it suitable for making a wide range of large structures. It can be used for buildings, bridges, and more.

How To Clear Main Sewer Line
The sewer line between an private building and the public sewer main is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain and repair, but you may need permission from your municipality before you can excavate or make other repairs.
- T he "house main drain", what many people think of as the sewer line, is the main horizontal drain line under a home. As the main drain exits the perimeter of the house it connects to the "house sewer", essentially the outdoor portion of the sewer line. The house sewer then connects to the municipal sewer system or to a septic system.
- As water from one branch line tries to drain but the main sewer line is clogged, it will eventually cause water to back up and start to overflow into other plumbing fixtures. Water or sewage coming up through the bathtub or coming out of shower drain is a clear sign your main sewer line is clogged.
- There are two types of systems designed to clear a blocked main sewer drain: You can use a mechanical drain cleaner , also called a plumber’s auger or drain snake. You can use a sewer jetter attachment for a household pressure washer.
- How Can I Avoid Main Sewer Line Clogs? The best way to clear a main sewer line clog is not to have one in the first place. Sometimes, of course, a main sewer line clog is unavoidable.


The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with assistance from Price City (project sponsor), proposes improvements to improve the efficiency, resiliency, and reliability of the existing water system for water users in the watershed. These improvements would allow for greater capacity for and flexibility in accommodating the needs of multiple uses, including municipal, industrial, agricultural, recreational, and environmental, while minimizing downstream impacts and reducing the potential for damages resulting from either future flooding or drought events.
The need for this Project arises from water users in the Watershed experiencing frequent or recurring water shortages in their municipal, industrial, and agricultural water supplies. These shortages are due to a combination of long-term climatic trends affecting the amount of water available for users in the watershed, seasonal imbalances that affect the timing of water availability and use, inefficient water usage in municipalities and agricultural irrigation facilities, and an upcoming inter-basin transfer project that would further reduce the amount of water available to users.
An evaluation of potential project alternatives and associated environmental impacts is required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations. The evaluation will be documented in the form of a Watershed Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (Plan-EIS).
UPPER PRICE RIVER WATERSHED PLAN-EIS
Questions about the environmental process? Check out our Environmental Process Flyer.
The Upper Price River Watershed Project, funded through USDA-NRCS’s PL83-566 program, is needed to examine methods that will provide a more reliable water supply to water users and to conserve water in the watershed. Project benefits include improving the efficiency, resiliency, and reliability of water systems to provide greater capacity for and flexibility in accommodating the needs of multiple uses, including municipal, industrial, agricultural, and environmental.
Price City, as the local sponsoring organization for the project, and the study team are making progress with the planning phase to evaluate the proposed project measures and preparing a draft Watershed Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (Plan-EIS). The study team is comprised of engineering and environmental professionals from Horrocks Engineers, Johansen & Tuttle Engineering Inc, and RB&G Engineering. A modification was recently approved by NRCS to include the piping of approximately 50 miles of open irrigation canals/laterals in order to provide safe and reliable water for agricultural users, enable increased efficiency in water use, and meet water conservation objectives. These canals include the Gay Ditch, Price-Wellington Canal, and Carbon Canal systems. Proposed project measures being evaluated include:
• Proposed diversion structure on Price River near the existing Bryner-Ploutz diversion upstream of Gigliotti Pond
• Proposed large diameter pipeline (60-72”) from diversion location to a proposed reservoir
• Proposed reservoir: Two locations being evaluated - Garley Canyon and Consumers Wash (3 alignment options)
• Proposed piping of Gay Ditch, Carbon Canal, and Price-Wellington Canal irrigation systems (pressurized)
It is anticipated that a Draft Plan-EIS will be available for public review during the spring of 2024.

Structural Engineering Services
ddk Engineering was established in 2010 as the next step of the evolution of a career that has spanned over 30 years, with a wide diversity of projects, clients, and responsibilities. I have established my reputation and quality standards at a high level of service and project responsibility.
As a structural engineer, I prefer to work in the commercial/residential arena, where the development of a project involves interaction with the architect to execute ideas and design elements that the architect holds paramount, while providing the physical support and “actual” execution of their design. Often, architectural demands require unique and singular solutions from the engineer. I often consider a successful engineering project as one where the structural elements become invisible while architectural detail is emphasized.

Intended as a coherent and straightforward methodology to be used when planning, developing and implementing a sustainable freight transport strategy, UNCTAD’s Framework for Sustainable Freight Transport (UNCTAD SFT Framework) aims to build and strengthen the capacity, skills, and knowledge of relevant freight transport stakeholders interested in advancing the sustainable freight transport agenda.
The UNCTAD SFT Framework sets a modular step-by-step process that details how to plan, design, develop and implement tailored sustainable freight transport strategies.
It offers guidance and practical tools to help decision makers - from both the public and the private sector - plan, design and implement adequate strategies that promote sustainable freight transport systems.
With many players being involved in regulating, developing, implementing, managing, operating, and maintaining freight transport infrastructure and services, the target audience of the Framework spans all relevant players from within and outside the freight transport sector. These include government authorities, policy makers, city planners, freight transport and logistics service providers (e.g., shipping carriers and logistics firms), users (e.g., shippers, traders and supply chain managers), infrastructure developers, managers and operators, as well as investors and financial institutions.

What Is Waterproofing?
WATERPROOFING is a process of forming a barrier to prevent water passage on surfaces that have high contact with water such as foundations, roofs, walls and other building structures. This prevents the penetration of unwanted moisture which causes deterioration and structural damage to buildings. It also increases the durability of a building and reduces maintenance costs in the long term. Moisture corrodes metals, causes mold to grow and contributes to health issues. It also ruins wood, resulting in rot and expensive repairs. Waterproofing can help protect your valuable investment and save you from costly water damage in the future.
There are many treatments and systems especially developed to stop water and moisture infiltration through concrete walls, such as waterproofing membranes, cement backer boards and spray-on wall membranes. They are easy to apply and dry quickly, leaving a coat resistant not only to water and moisture but also to puncture. These can be used on walls in basements, bathrooms and kitchens, decks, balconies, roofs, green roofs, swimming pools and water tanks.

This bridge, now called Cầu Nguyễn Văn Trỗi, was built by an American company in 1965, apparently to serve the US war effort in Vietnam. It connects the downtown urban core of Da Nang with the narrow strip of land that runs between the Han River and the beach area to the east of downtown. One source I saw says there was a wooden bridge across the river in this spot built during the French colonial era. In any case the bridge shown in the photo was the first steel structure traffic bridge crossing the river. A local friend remembers crossing the river in a ferry during these years. She also notes that the beach side of the river was mostly farmland at the time. Today it is built up with residential areas, markets and commercial areas for local businesses, as well as lots of hotels and businesses catering to tourists.
More and bigger bridges were built across the river and at some point this bridge was closed to traffic. When the last of the newer bridges, Cầu Trần Thị Lý (pictured to the right in the photo), was completed in 2013, the bridge was restored as a pedestrian walkway. It is indeed a great place for walking with a wonderful view of the river and the city.
Nguyễn Văn Trỗi is the name of a war hero who fought for the North and was born in this part of Vietnam. Lots of Da Nang streets and public places are named after military and political leaders who sided with the North, a reminder that the winners get to shape the history of a place.
