Stormwater runoff is a form of water pollution that flows across parking lots, construction sites, and streets and then flows untreated into streams and rivers. Under this permit, the City of Struthers has developed a program to manage the quality of stormwater runoff from the stormwater drainage system in order to protect its citizens from this form of water pollution. The program focuses on the following areas:
Distributing educational materials and performing outreach to inform citizens about the impacts polluted storm water runoff discharges can have on water quality.
Providing opportunities for citizens to participate in program development and implementation, including effectively publicizing public hearings and/or encouraging citizen representatives on a storm water management panel.
Developing and implementing a plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the storm sewer system (includes developing a system map and informing the community about hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste).
Developing, implementing and enforcing an erosion and sediment control program for construction activities that disturb 1 or more acres of land (controls could include silt fences and temporary storm water detention ponds).
Developing, implementing and enforcing a program to address discharges of post-construction storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment areas. Applicable controls could include preventive actions such as protecting sensitives areas (e.g., wetlands) or the use of structural BMPs such as grassed swales or porous pavement.
Developing and implementing a program with the goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. The program must include municipal staff training on pollution prevention measures and techniques (e.g., regular street sweeping, reductions in use of pesticides or street salt, or frequent catch-basin cleaning).


The operating cost profile of any heating or cooling
system is directly related to understanding the thermal losses in the
plant and also the utilization of water. It is critical that every component
of the system maximize its usage of the water before it is directed
to the next user or discharged to sewer.
By performing a detailed study of the impurities in the
various water streams, cycles of concentration can be monitored and
more importantly, scale forming impurities tracked to ensure they are
at their maximum concentrations before water is released from the system.
Utilities Optimized utilizes and independent water testing
laboratory to track the impurity loadings in various treated water streams
to ensure that maximum concentrations are achieved and adequate chemical
inhibition treatments are present.
Through this study process, simple cross checking
of routine water treatrment field test processes can be applied to ensure
their accuracy and a focus of continual improvement is realized.
A major feedmill operation in South Western Ontario
needed to improve their Boiler Room layout to improve accessibility
to major equipment. Utilities Optimized was retained to redesign the
boiler feedwater system and install a Blowdown Heat Recovery system.
The existing horizontal boiler feedwater tank was replaced
with a vertical stainless steel unit. Boiler feedwater pumps were relocated
from underneath the existing tank to grade level beside the new feedwater
tank. All electrical panels were mounted on the wall behind the pumps,
allowing easy access to all components. The Blowdown Heat Recovery system
was installed in place of the existing blowdown flash chamber and well
water cooling system. Flash steam from the Blowdown Heat Recovery system
was routed to the new boiler feedwater tank and injected below the normal
water level with a stainless steel steam muffler system.
Picture illustrates initial boiler feedwater system and
blowdown flash chamber. Boiler feedwater pumps were located underneath
existing tank with electrical panels in front making accessibility extremely
Second picture shows new layout of the boiler feedwater
system and Blowdown Heat Recovery system. All components are on grade
level with ample open space around each section for easy access and
maintenance. Flash steam comes off top of Blowdown Heat Recovery unit
via 1-inch line to steam muffler.
Make-up water is routed through storage section of Blowdown Heat Recovery
tank, picking up thermal energy normally lost to sewer.
Make-up water temperature has increased from 55oF to
over 110oF, consistently. Boiler feedwater temperature has increased
and average of 30oF with less steam flow from the steam heater system.
Blowdown water going to sewer averages 75 - 80oF with no additional
Overall savings have been calculated to be greater
than $11,000 annually as a result of the Blowdown Heat Recovery system.
Utilities Optimized personnel were request by
a regional natural gas supplier to provide a detailed water mass balance
evaluation of a Utility Plant in the Niagara area. The gas supplier
would be responsible for detailed combustion studies and a third consulting
engineer was responsible for electrical and gas consumption evaluation
and compiling the final report.
The plant utilizes Welland Canal water, which is essentially
considered “free”. An arbitrary “pumping cost”
of $0.10 per cubic meter was assessed to provide a basis for evaluating
subsequent treatment costs.
Utilities Optimized was charged with determining the
flow pattern through the site, document operating costs associated with
each aspect of treatment and provide a concise evaluation of water consumption,
system losses, current boiler blowdown losses and projections on savings
Based on the treatment process and associated losses,
for regeneration, chemicals, leaking pump seals etc., the cost of boiler
feedwater was determined to be 146% more expensive than the “free”
influent canal water. This increase in cost provided justification for
what was considered minor/insignificant repairs and also more appropriately
designed heat recovery. Additional savings initiatives in regenerant
water recovery were identified for future consideration.
The attached schematic roughly defines the steam
plant water path. Utilities Optimized personnel also performed a thermal
evaluation and several heat recovery initiatives were further documented.
The final report was incorporated into a detailed Project Study Report.
This report is being utilized as part of the basis for determining whether
this site is a candidate for co-generation and also a Utility Site,
selling both steam and electrical power to the main site user.


Dam of l'Aigle
Started in 1935, the construction of Le barrage de l'Aigle ended in 1945. The dam played an important part during the war and it has been aptly named "the Resistance Dam".
Apart from its unusual history, the dam is also distinct from its architecture. Majestic, the reservoir has a capacity of 220 million m3. The highest water drop is 84m and the length at the top is 289m. In 1982, the construction of a fifth production group makes the dam the most powerful EDF installation ever made on the Dordogne river.

Media Contact: Howard Witt, 434-924-6051 The 2011 David R. Goode National Transportation Policy Conference Bipartisan Conference led by Former Secretaries of Transportation Norman Mineta and Samuel Skinner Read the report The Miller Center released a report proposing practical, actionable ways to sell the American public on the need to invest in the nation’s transportation infrastructure in 2011. With the nation’s roads in disrepair, projects for the future sidelined, the Highway Trust Fund needing chronic bail-outs, and Congress unable to agree on a solution, the report aims to raise public awareness about an issue that greatly affects the U.S. economy. “There is a lack of confidence and trust in the ability of policymakers to make good decisions in transportation policy and planning. And without a mandate from a broader public, most policymakers don’t want to risk reforming the current system in a political landscape fraught with many other challenges and competing demands,” said former Transportation Secretaries Norman Mineta and Samuel Skinner, co-chairs of the Miller Center’s David R. Goode National Transportation Policy Conference on which the report is based. The report, titled “Are We There Yet? Selling America on Transportation” recommends a detailed communications strategy to draw attention to the nation’s transportation challenges, including messages that would be compelling to a broad audience. There are four key elements: A positive, forward-looking tone that frames the transportation debate around issues of economic growth, jobs, U.S. competitiveness, combined with quality of life. A well-defined but flexible campaign plan that is keyed to the rhythms of an election year and to important events in the transportation calendar. A focus on building broader engagement through effective, targeted use of traditional media and social media. A concerted effort to link local transportation investment opportunities and benefits to national-level policy decisions. The report is based on a two-day conference organized by the Miller Center where more than 60 transportation experts—including five former U.S. transportation secretaries—strategized about effective transportation messaging. Video of those conference sessions can be found here. The Inaugural 2009 David R. Goode National Transportation Policy Conference 2009 report The inaugural David R. Goode National Transportation Policy Conference gathered 80 recognized transportation experts to facilitate original and necessary thinking about the financing, governance, and management of America’s transportation infrastructure. Released in 2010, the conference report titled "Well Within Reach: America’s New Transportation Agenda" provides a credible agenda to guide the legislative process and offers lasting value to the discussion of the future of our transportation systems. The report’s recommendations were praised by transportation experts and policymakers, including President Obama who requested a briefing with Conference Co-Chairs Norman Mineta and Samuel Skinner and praised the report publicly in a October 2010 Rose Garden ceremony.


Sealing and insulation
Antiphon sealing and insulation materials are used within a wide range of applications, for example to seal areas between tree, glass, plastic and rubber from leakage of noise and heat, from temperatures between -25˚C to +95˚C.
The materials can be used as condensation insulation with great results.
Heavy layer as an insulating material aims to improve the sound damping in particular, with a higher weight. One duplication of the walls weight gives an increase of the walls reduction number with 6dB. In addition, it has some structure-borne sound damping properties.
Specially adapted fitting
The details are cut into the shapes and sizes best fit for the final application and are used in sound- and heat insulation as well as to prevent noise leakage in various industries such as the automotive and construction industry.
Antiphon product solutions
LT-F sealing and thermo-insulating materials
antiphon® LT-F sealing material is used to prevent heat, moisture and sound leakage. The details are cut into the shapes and sizes best fit for the end application and are used for both thermo insulation and to prevent sound leakage.

Christopher Haas | Haas Architecture
The Grace Home International School, Madina, Accra, Ghana - Modular Africa
The Hope International School is the first project as part of Modular Africa, a joint collaboration between award-winning non-profit, Groundwork Opportunities (GO) and San Francisco-based design collaborative, SAAT Architecture (founded by Christopher Haas, Brett Terpeluk and Peter Strzebniok).
Together with GO, SAAT is developing the framework for a modular system of easily constructible “modules” that can serve as inexpensive schools, vocational centers, hospitals and community centers in the developing world.
The design of the new classroom module responds to a series of critical climatic issues; extreme heat, poor ventilation and darkly lit learning spaces. The design of the module’s roof volume and its large opening acts to purge heat by creating a stack effect from abundant low-level cross-ventilation, while simultaneously allowing diffuse, bounced light into the classroom space.
The modules are built with locally sourced sustainable materials; walls are easily assembled from cementitious lego-like blocks of local Pozzolana cement, roof framing built in bamboo and roof panels are corrugated metal.
The nursery school is slated to open in summer of 2013 and GO is already sharing the modular design with their other partners across the developing world.

Upflush toilets are a great way to easily add a new toilet where your existing plumbing system can’t be reached. In this upflush toilet review we’ll have a look at some of the best macerating toilets and best upflush toilet systems on the market.
Upflush Toilet Review Top Pick
What Are Upflush Toilets?
Upflush toilets, sometimes referred to as “macerating toilets,” are not new technology. European countries have used them for years. In fact, Saniflo invented the first version of the Upflush toilet in Western Europe in 1958. The toilets were designed to solve for tight spots and make it easier to install bathrooms below preexisting lateral lines.
Plumbing systems use gravity to move fluids from one point to another however there are times when you can’t rely on gravity and need to pump these fluids in a particular direction.
Macerators work by changing waste solids into liquids using a high speed rotational blade and then pumps this waste into the drainage system in the normal manner.
They are a great solution when wanting to create another bathroom and the existing soil and vent pipe is on another wall.
Saniflo Saniaccess 2 Toilet Kit
If you’ve ever heard of Saniflo, you already know it’s one of the most reliable and trusted macerating units out there.
Thanks to their affordable price tag and easy installation, the company has quickly become the go-to for households that want to add an extra bathroom, expand an existing bathroom to include a shower and sink, or retrofit a closet into something much more functional, but don’t want to install insane plumbing to make it all work.
The Saniflo Saniaccess 2 UpFlush system is used to install a half bathroom up to 15 feet below the sewer line, or even up to 150 feet away from a soil stack, so it’s a great way to install a basement toilet. You can also link up the sink to the same system.
While we’re mainly concerned with the macerating units in this upflush toilet review the toilet supplied with this best upflush toilet system is also of a high quality with a soft-closing lid. So while you may have to put up with the noise of the macerator you don’t need to worry about slamming the toilet seat.
The Saniaccess 2 is simple to install with just 4 connections.
- The macerator/pump is connected to the spigot of a Saniflo rear discharge toilet.
- The toilet tank is connected to the water supply.
- The macerator/pump is connected to the small diameter discharge pipe work.
- The macerator/pump is connected to the electrical supply.
Reducing connections like that makes installation easier and lowers the risk of encountering trouble further down the line.
Installation is simple, but the drawings can obviously ovresimplify the process so we suggest you dry fit the macerating unit to the toilet first. There are also some helpful videos to help you here.
The noise from macerating and pumping is fairly minimal, just a few seconds of growling and its over. You can reduce this by building some housing around the macerator or installing it behind a wall.
This Kit Includes
- Saniaccess 2 Macerating Upflush Pump #081
- Saniflo #083 Saniflo Round Toilet Bowl 1.28 GPF
- Saniflo #005 Tank Kit
- Free Slow Close Saniflo Toilet Seat
Upflush Toilet Problems
Generally upflush toilets are easy to install and are very reliable. But what are some of the upflush toilet problems we’ve encountered with macerating toilet systems?
- Pump is noisy – this is unavoidable. But you can reduce the noise by installing the macerator behind a wall or building a cabinet around it.
- Sometimes the flush may not be as effective in some circumstances because of the macerating action. Generally this is rare.
- Never flush anything besides toilet paper. While this is the same with any toilet to avoid blockages, a macerator toilet can be badly damaged if something jams the blades.


Building Repairs is a broad term; it can cover straight forwards repairs that can be done within a day, through to other repairs that are more complicated where major work will needed to be carried out. Work such as this could range from weeks to even months to repair.
Maintenance of your property and any alterations you might consider can save you from having to face expensive costs when things get to a point beyond repair.
Whether the building repairs you are facing are interior or exterior, such as windows, brickwork, concrete repairs, foundation repair, damp course treatments, timber wet or dry rot in which any rotten timbers would be replaced and the cause of the problem (e.g. poor ventilation, leaking roof) corrected, electrical replacement, floorboards being replaced or property renovation, W4W Building are here to help.
Due to the combined working experience of having a business made up of a building firm and an electrical firm, W4W Building have the ability to look at the issues that surround a client’s needs.
When it comes to Building Repairs, we have a particular strong point in conversions of older buildings, turning them into commercial and domestic use buildings. For a building to be considered for a conversion it has to be structurally sound, for example the conversion of a modern agricultural building of steel sheet construction to a residential use, would not be considered appropriate. In many cases a full structural survey may be needed to assess the level of work that needs to be done. Another point that should be taken into consideration when it comes to building conversion is are there adequate services to fulfil your needs, such as sewage disposal facilities, land drainage, electricity and/or gas supply and water supply.
Here at W4W Building we want the best solutions for our customers. We are here to solve your problem not ours, we have the experience and skills to give you the solutions.
If you are in need of Building Repairs or want some advice on what you should do then get in touch with us today and set up a consultation for us to assess your needs.

Public-private partnership (PPP) is a funding model for a public infrastructure project. Here, the public partner is represented by the government at a local, state and/or national level. The private partner can be a privately-owned business, public corporation or consortium of businesses with a specific area of expertise.
PPP is a broad term that can be applied to anything from a simple, short term management contract (with or without investment requirements) to a long-term contract that includes funding, planning, building, operation, maintenance and divestiture. PPP arrangements are useful for large projects that require highly-skilled workers and a significant cash outlay to get started. They are also useful in countries that require the state to legally own any infrastructure that serves the public.
Different models of PPP funding are characterized by which partner is responsible for owning and maintaining assets at different stages of the project. This model shall make the parties involved to the project liable and the project built under this model is sustainable.
Reckoning the need of PPP in infrastructure development, the Bank has been established to initiate such project financing. Presently the Bank is in discussion with different MDBs to implement the right modality of PPP in various sectors like transportation, aviation etc. This shall not only increase the sustainability of the infrastructure projects but the investment shall also be diversified and not only be concentrated to the Government.

Sewer Drain Repair
We offer the following sewer and drain services:
- Drain cleaning & repair
- Sewer & trenchless installation
- Sewer lining
- Hydro jetting
- Sewer camera inspection
Our trenchless drain lining systems give the homeowner a cost effective alternative to the traditional dig methods of pipe replacement but still offer the structural strength of the new pipe. These patented systems allow our technicians to replace underground pipe without disturbing any surface materials such as:
- Electrical & Gas Lines
- Water Lines
- Parking Lots
What are the trenchless options?
OPTION 1: Permalining
An option to save your existing pipe is permalining – the inside of your pipe is lined with an epoxy resin which hardens to form a solid pipe. Since it can be done in place, there is no need for trench digging. Once finished, your repaired pipe is as good as a brand new replacement – and it is fully guaranteed against defects.
OPTION 2: Pipe bursting
Permalining isn’t always possible if the existing pipe has collapsed, or if you want an equivalent or bigger pipe. Another option for you repairs is pipe bursting, where a powerful bursting head is pulled through the existing pipe, and a new replacement pipe is pulled in behind it. The new pipe has no joints and, again, is fully guaranteed. You have a brand new, replacement pipe without having had the inconvenience and expense or having your garden and driveway dug up!

PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Surefloat products are unique thanks to precast technology and environmental innovation.
Utilizing an engineered design, steel form frames, and high-grade concrete that is four times stronger than concrete used to build a house’s foundation, Surefloat’s prestressed concrete docks are unlike any other dock product on the market. Moreover, by utilizing precast concrete technology, Surefloat boasts a quick production time of only two days for a large precast 8’ by 60’ model float – versus a competitor’s production time of over two weeks.
In terms of environmental innovation, as pioneered by Surespan’s work with the Vancouver Convention Centre, a unique concrete mix coupled with specific texturing provide a haven for marine life to grow on. By erecting a Surefloat concrete marine structure, barnacles, muscles, algae and other marine creatures are provided a habitat that may otherwise not exist.
How are Surefloat’s concrete docks different from other concrete docks? Unlike other concrete dock manufactures, Surefloat builds all products at a CSA and CPCI certified manufacturing plant. Other concrete dock manufacturers typically build the float onsite, pouring concrete into wooden frames. From a quality point of view, these wooden forms bow and twist under the concrete’s hydrostatic pressure, causing uneven concrete placement. As a result of the uneven concrete, the float will tilt in the water and the metal materials used to reinforce the float will rust because they are not adequately covered in concrete.
With a modular product design, Surefloat is able to offer a premium quality product, at a market competitive price. When compared to a similar priced wood dock that lasts an average of ten years, Surefloat’s Cottage Dock offers annual cost savings as a result of its low maintenance and repair requirements and long-lasting lifespan.

TDC International uses customizable glass-fibre reinforced plastics (GRP) mechanical protection for steel pipes, field joints and other products.
Glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP), also called fibre glass, is a composite typically made of polyester resins and glass fibres. The strands of fibres allow the material to be strong along their longitudinal axis. The individual components of the material can be processed in such a way that the product properties can be flexibly formulated into practically any requirements.
This material offers many convincing advantages. GRP can be stronger than metal, wood, concrete or ceramic materials while at the same time being lighter in weight. One of the key features of GRP is its extreme corrosion-resistant characteristic. Other important advantages of GRP include its good resilience to chemicals, high temperature, mechanical scratches, good insulating properties, excellent weather resistance and low thermal conductivity. With this material, the engineering team has great design flexibility in the application and moulding process.
GRP also serves as a load-bearing construction material in a wide spectrum of areas. Together with its classical applications in shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and aircraft construction, in recent years GRP has also become an established product in the various other building and construction industries.
Key features of GRP are:


Reginald DesRoches – affectionately known as “Dean Reggie” – began his term as the William and Stephanie Sick Dean of Engineering at Rice University in 2017. He previously served as Georgia Tech’s Chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and raised in Queens, New York City, DesRoches says his love of science and math led him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at Berkeley. He was there in 1989 when the San Francisco area was hit with a magnitude 6.9 earthquake, and witnessed firsthand the damage to the infrastructure of the Bay Area.
He earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley in 1998.

“VelociFoam employs polyurethane-based technology within a proprietary process to dramatically change the geotechnical stability, economics, safety, security and environmental footprint of pipeline installation.”
(See the FAQ for answer to questions about the safety and other properties of PU foam.)
The construction industry has long made use of lightweight polymers such as polystyrene and polyurethane foam, due to the higher mechanical strength-to-weight ratios and longevity the materials enjoy over traditional materials such as wood, stone and steel.
The VelociFoam method utilises 7 main properties, singularly and in combination:
- Tensile strength
- The layer of PU foam binds pipe sections to each other, across any kind of joint, imitating a fully restrained joint.
- Compressive strength
- The PU foam provides a very high level of mechanical protection to the pipe surface, from general granular soil backfill, and unintended larger objects.
- This property is actually a combination of many others in pure engineering terms. For VelociFoam, elasticity is important because it allows a continuous, repeated and totally predictable return of the PU foam mass to its original position after repeated mechanical loading cycles.
- Load spreading
- The cellular nature of PU foam means that loads of all kinds, both ‘blunt’ and ‘point’, are spread in a near-90° cone from the point of contact and into the foam mass. This is very important for applications where dynamic loading, such as vehicle traffic is a factor in pipeline engineering.
- PU foam has strong adhesion to most pipe surface, both metallic and polymer. This property is important when axial forces must be counteracted, particularly in thrust block applications.
- Water impermeability
- Of particular importance to metal pipelines, PU foam is generally almost completely watertight.
- Chemical Inertness
- PU foam is chemically inert once cured. This property, particularly in conjunction with water impermeability, means that VelociFoam is a very environmentally-friendly solution to many buried pipeline challenges.
How We Use PU Foam
Although there are variations on each, the VelociFoam method covers two main application areas:
- Linear Pipeline Sections
- Thrust Block / Pipe Bends
Linear Pipeline Sections
(By this term, we mean lengths of pipe installation using normal coupling joints, without specialised bends. These sections normally don’t exceed 1.5° angular deflection in each joint.)
The main functional requirements for use of PU foam on ‘straight’ sections of a pipeline are
- geotechnical stability
- mechanical protection
We spray a layer of PU foam onto the pipe in situ, in a continuous mass, across the joints. The depth of the PU foam is between 75 and 125mm, depending on pipe dimension and stability requirements.
The system provides axial stability both by ‘gluing’ pipe sections to each other across pipe joints, thus preventing axial movement inside the coupler, and by interacting with the surrounding soil masses, causing ‘friction’. The system provides lateral and vertical stability through a combination of interaction with soil masses: the weight of soil above the pipe / foam system and dilatancy induced by shear forces where the uneven foam surface and the surrounding soils interlock.
The system provides mechanical protection by placing a very strong layer of foam between the pipe and any object. This is discussed in more depth here.
Thrust Block / Pipe Bends
We spray consecutive layers of PU foam onto a pipe bend, to a calculated depth relative to the resultant thrust forces.


44-46 Sekforde Street is the former premises of Blick Time Recorders, who first occupied the existing development in 1963. Blick became the largest marketing and service time recorder company in the UK and sold all makes of UK made clocks. The building itself, was designed by Robert Cromie, who made his name in the 1930’s designing theatres and cinema’s like the Hammersmith Apollo.
The building is of concrete framed construction with solid floors, brick elevations and was constructed in the 1930’s probably as a multi storey factory or warehouse.
It enjoys lovely views from its north west side over St James’s Church and its gardenswhich are open to the public and provide a tranquil local amenity.The church was rebuilt in 1792 to plans by a
The closest station to 44-46 Sekforde Street is Farringdon and will be the only interchange station for Underground, Crossrail, Thameslink and National Rail services in London.
Crossrail is the largest infrastructure project in Central London since the opening of the Underground over 150 years ago. It is Europe’s largest infrastructure project, costing £15 billion. Once opened it will comprise a new 100km east to west underground line connecting all of London’s main employment hubs from Heathrow and Reading in the west; the West End, Farringdon, the City and Canary Wharf in central; through to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. When complete, Farringdon will become the UK’s busiest station and its planned that over 140 trains per hour will flow through the interchange. It will be the only station that provides a 3-way connection between the London Underground as well as the north/south Thameslink and mainline network. It is expected that over 200 million passengers will travel on Crossrail each year. Crossrail will give Central London a direct rail service to Heathrow in approximately 30 minutes and provide City to West End access in less than 10 minutes. Sekforde Street is situated within 500m of the new Crossrail station at Farringdon, due to open in October 2020.
The Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City Underground lines run through Farringdon station, making it one of the best connected underground stations in London. Also within close proximity to Sekforde Street are a number of alternative London Underground Stations including Chancery Lane, Barbican, Old Street and King’s Cross which provides underground, national and international rail links.
Thameslink is a 24-hour, 115-station main-line railway route. Farringdon currently provides national rail services to such destinations as Peterborough, Bedford, Luton and Luton Airport to the north and Sutton, Orpington, Sevenoaks, Rainham, Horsham, Gatwick Airport and Brighton to the south.

Top Benefits Of Underground Electrical Cable Revealed
Are you still having apprehensions whether to choose underground electrical cable over overhead electrical cable? While both of these cabling systems can provide the same power supply there are a lot of benefits for opting on underground electrical cabling system and here are some of them.
If you will compare the installation of underground electrical cable and overhead electrical cable the underground cables offer a better view because the cables installed are completely invisible. The power lines are hidden and won’t create an obstruction to any view. Aside from that, the underground electrical cable is good to the environment because they don’t need to use huge poles during the installation unlike the overhead power towering wooden or metal poles are needed to connect electrical lines.
Fewer resources needed
The resource materials needed for underground electrical cable are fewer if compared to the quantity of materials that the overhead power lines will require. With underground power cabling, the need for posts is eliminated. No need to worry about the supply of logs, digging the ground and burying them just to install power lines. The entire process of underground power lines installation will only require pipes or ducts, so the overhead cost for this project is not expensive.
Uninterruptible power supplies
Another amazing benefit of underground electrical cable installation is the guaranteed uninterruptible power supplies. Since, the power lines are installed underground any bad weather condition or external element present in our environment (overgrown tree, strong wind) will not disrupt the quality of power supply. Users of underground power cabling system can enjoy stable power connection at all times.
Yes, this is one of the benefits that underground electrical cable promise to deliver to all end-users that opted for this type of power lines installation – safer. Why? First, the electrical power lines are secured underground, so need to fear of direct contact with high voltage power lines. Second, unlike the overhead cabling system where power lines may become loose due to strong winds or fallen trees, the underground power cables aren’t exposed, eliminating the risks of injuries and deaths that downed power lines can cause to any human being.
Will underground electrical power cables applicable anywhere?
There are cases wherein the underground electrical cabling system may not work. A location situated with water source like waterways may not be a suitable place to install underground power cables. It’s crucial that an expert will assess the location prior installation of underground electrical cable.
If you want more information about the best power cabling system that will deliver uninterruptible power supplies, inquire at GM and let their specialist on underground power application come up with a design that will work out for your situation.


Have you ever heard of the word underpinning? It is a common word used in residential construction to define the lowering of foundation through the use of digging under existing foundation. It sounds dangerous, and it is if the people completing it do not know how to do so. You can find an article in the Toronto Star of a home who hired people who did not know what they were doing here.
This has unfortunately given the word underpinning a bad name when people hear it now, but what is underpinning? And is it actually that unsafe?
Underpinning essentially helps to lower basements. The existing foundation is dug under in sections, and new foundation is set by pouring concrete under the existing foundation, thus lowering the foundation and giving higher ceilings in a basement. Since ceilings in basements in Toronto are low in most areas with older homes, this method has been tried and tested in many different parts of the GTA. Below is a video of our BVM crew completing a stage of underpinning:
Is this method safe though? Yes, if a qualified contractor is given the job, and all safety precautions are followed, then there is a very low chance of anything going wrong. A qualified underpinning contractor will do the following things:
- Ensure that the permit drawings for the underpinning process are followed correctly, and that close correspondence is kept with the engineer that approved the permit drawings throughout the duration of the project. The engineer should be called into the site after every stage of the underpinning (which will be explained).
- Make sure that a city inspector is called to inspect the project, in order sign off on each stage.
There are different stages to underpinning jobs (as eluded to above), in order for the home to remain structurally sound. The amount of stages completed in a usual underpinning job is usually three. Each stage completed in underpinning jobs consists of:
- Digging under the existing foundation to the desired amount of depth.
- Creating a form to allow the concrete to set into the dug under area of the existing foundation.
- Pouring the concrete into the form, and allowing it to cure under the existing foundation.
- Removing the forms, getting the sign-off from the engineer and city inspector, and moving on to the next stage.
Vince Meagher explains one of our recent underpinning jobs in the video below, which was completed in the East York area of Toronto:
It is important to be knowledgeable and do your homework before you decide which construction company to trust with your project, but it is also equally as important for the company undertaking the project to know how to complete the project in a safe and effective way. BVM Contracting has all of the tools to deliver you any type of Home Addition or Home Renovation you desire. Just remember, even if we are not your company make sure that the company you pick has all of the necessary credentials before letting them alter your living space.

Students from A&M-Commerce’s Department of Engineering & Technology competed in the TEXO Foundation’s annual Associated Schools of Construction Region 5 student competition on February 16-19, 2018, in Addison, TX.
Each year, construction industry partners submit design projects, which teams of student competitors work to complete over the course of a day. The teams then present their project plans, which include cost estimates and schedules for building projects. The event culminates with a banquet, including awards for schools as well as the best individual presenters.
A&M-Commerce was represented by two teams of six students competing in two categories. Aaron Garcia, James Latta, Sunjae Lee, Emma Neuweiler, Brianna Ramos, and Colton Wylie competed in the Design-Build category, in which projects were judged by The Beck Group, an architecture and construction firm. Juan Cisneros, Alexandra Hernandez, Adam Griffin, Coen Price, Christopher Papson, and Mark Czarny competed in the Commercial category, with projects judged by construction firm Brasfield and Gorrie. Colton Wylie, a Construction Engineering senior, was selected as the top presenter at the competition.
“This is a great way to expose our students to real-life bidding experiences and have them meet with the industry leaders,” said Debbie Kim, assistant professor of Construction Engineering. “Students get to go through the entire bidding process for 16 hours and apply all the knowledge they learned in class into the real process.”
This year, the competition coincided with National Engineers Week, when engineering professionals and students celebrate the contributions of the profession and relate practical applications of engineering to the world around them, just as A&M-Commerce students did at the competition.
The TEXO Foundation is a non-profit foundation of the largest commercial contractors association in Texas. The foundation has established strong relationships with local high schools and the universities in ASC Region V offering construction degrees in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Creep has been conclusively shown to be directly proportional to paste content throughout the range of paste contents normally used in concrete.
Thus, the creep characteristics of concrete mixtures containing aggregate of maximum size greater than 50 mm [2 in.] may be determined from the creep characteristics of the minus mm [minus 2-in.] fraction obtained by wet-sieving.

Creep of shotcrete is modelled within the framework of thermodynamics of chemically reactive porous media. The process of creep is divided into a short-term and a long-term part. Short-term creep stems from stress-induced water movement within the capillary pores of shotcrete, located between the already formed hydrates which are the reaction.
The Adam Neville Symposium: Creep and Shrinkage - Structural Design Effects Book by American Concrete Institute, 10/01/ View all product details Most Recent. Concrete creep is defined as: deformation of structure under sustained load. Basically, long term pressure or stress on concrete can make it change shape.
This deformation usually occurs in the direction the force is being applied. Like a concrete column getting more compressed, or a beam bending. Creep does not necessarily cause concrete to fail or break apart.
The creep of concrete is profoundly influenced by the process of cement hydration. This influence, commonly called aging, causes the creep at con stant stress to decrease significantly as the age at loading increases.
The decrease is not confined to young. RILEM International Symposium on Concrete Modelling, RILEM International Symposium on Concrete Modelling, Earlier studies showed that creep of concrete, among other things, depends on the.

Part of the goal of The Stone Development Foundation (TSDF) is to improve the quality of life of the people in the society by enabling them to have access to clean water. Over the years there has been a serious water shortage in Agugu community. There is no stream or pipe-borne water in the community. The people in the community are forced to spend a lot of money to buy water for household use on a daily basis.
The borehole was constructed with the help of TSDF, and a dream come through for the people. This is because of the fact that availability and accessibility to clean water will prevent them from contracting water-borne diseases. It is estimated that the borehole will serve an estimated 30,000 members of the Agugu community.
The official commissioning took place on Thursday, April 21, 2022, at 8.00 am.
Present at the event was the Chairman, Board of Trustees of The Stone Development Foundation – Arc. Alex Adegboye; Commissioner for Health in Oyo State – Dr. Bode Ladipo; Board members of TSDF, elders of Agugu community, and friends of TSDF.
The Chairman TSDF, Arc. Adegboye said to the community members that Water is life and he who gives water has given life. The Development Foundation has provided the water as a result of God’s love for the people. He further emphasized to the people that God loves them irrespective of what they are going through. He also urged members of the community to take care of the facility and not to damage the water taps.
The State Commissioner for Health appreciated TSDF for its contribution to humanity. Also, he said water is very important to our day-to-day activities, and without access to clean water people will be exposed to all manner of diseases. He also said the state government is committed to making clean water available in the state.
To this end, the community members were excited and they said this is the first borehole facility in the environs of Agugu. It was made known that other available borehole water is being sold while TSDF thought it suitable to provide free borehole water to the community. Finally, they appreciated TSDF for the privilege of access to water while they promised to maintain the facility.


With TowerLight’s position as the pre-eminent lighting specialist in the World, sales of their high quality products have increased accordingly. The award winning VT-1, the
unparalleled LinkTower, the popular VT-4 and the innovative Hydropowercube have all been enthusiastically embraced by construction firms, outside events organisers and general industry.
Throughout the world there is an increasing requirement to provide sufficient lighting cover for all types of outside working and public events.
This is driven by a number of factors, including compliance with health and safety laws, maintaining and increasing productivity and to provide proper security for employees and equipment.
Typical places that often need proper lighting include: highway intersections, site entrances, construction sites, excavation works, car parking, quarries, mining, ports, airports and emergency response teams.
All of these situations will need, on occasions, to provide proper lighting, particularly during night-time working or where there is insufficient safe natural light.
Appropriate lighting at work is very important to the health and safety of everyone in the workplace.
The quicker and easier it is to see a hazard, the more likely it will be avoided. As there are many differing types of hazard present in a work area, the actual lighting requirements will vary dependant on the individual task being undertaken.
The size of the global market for mobile lighting towers continues to rise at a rapid rate, principally due to industry conforming to worldwide directives on health and safety in the work place.

Study on linear shallow foundation thermal bridge efficiency in A+ class buildings
In this article, the authors carried out a research on a typical linear shallow foundation thermal bridge of class A+ residential building, based on the principles of energy and economic efficiency. The thermodynamic study showed that the most economical way to heat the shallow foundation of a A + class residential building is with a continuous insulation thickness of 250 mm EPS100 (V2 position). In this position the linear foundation thermal bridge is equal to 0.354 W/(mK). The annual cost per 1 meter of this connection is 2.21 €/m. The simple payback period is 3.9 years. By heating the foundation with extruded polystyrene foam panels (from the inside of the building) is the worst option, and the payback can reach 210 years.
