Local Drain Unblocking Service Throughout Berkshire
One of the most painful things for a homeowner or a local business is to wake up one morning and to find that the drain is clogged.
The main causes of blocked drainage systems are human hair, kitchen waste that is dumped into the drainage system, excess human waste clogging up the drains, grease, oil and so forth. When these materials start to accumulate over time, you get a drain block. Drain block in kitchens, bathrooms is a huge problem to deal with.
Cleaning and clearing out the drainage system, restoring functionality to normalcy is not something that you can do yourself. You will need to hire a professional drainage cleaning service to completely take care of the problem.
What happens during a drain block?
The normal function of a drainage system is to act as a conduit for sewerage water to flow through and drain out from a city. When the drainage system is clogged, there is no other way for the sewage water to flow, and so it overflows out onto roads, into bathrooms and kitchens and so forth.
Sewer water contains a lot of waste chemicals and organic waste, and with it – a very bad, characteristic odour. This odour can spread very easily, and cause people to become uncomfortable and sick. Sewage water is also very dangerous to health as it carries many deadly bacteria and viruses in it, which can cause serious health problems if it gets mixed up with the drinking water supply system.
In order to clean up the drains, a commercial jetting and draining service will be required. The process of cleaning up the drains is also known as “drain jetting”.
How does this technique work? In drain jetting, certified and qualified professionals take the help of clean water propelled at high pressures, and use the kinetic energy from that blast of water to clean and rid the surfaces of the drainage system of any garbage and waste item that might be clogging up the drainage.
Due to the extremely high pressures, the water jet is literally working like a laser cutting machine, stripping away all of the debris stuck inside the drainage system, and clearing it away. With the accumulation of deposits on the walls of the drainage system, it results in an impediment to the free and smooth passage of sewerage through the drainage system.
In order to make the process of drain unblocking and drain repair very easy, drain service companies have taken to technology in order to modernise the process before taking up repairs for unblocking home drains and commercial drains. This technique will help prevent workers from damaging any piping installation in your home or office, due to repair work. This ensures that the work is completed easily.
Drain maintenance is key to preventing such drain blocks from recurring again and again. Making sure that you segregate your garbage before disposing of it makes a huge difference. With regular maintenance, you will extend the lifetime of the drainage system.


About Target Zero
South Carolina’s State Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is a statewide, comprehensive safety plan that provides a coordinated framework towards eliminating traffic deaths and reducing severe injuries on South Carolina’s public roads. This coordination requires combining and sharing resources and focusing efforts on areas with the greatest potential for improvement. The development of the SHSP was also performed in consultation with federal, state, local, and private-sector safety stakeholders. The SHSP strategically establishes statewide priorities and identifies critical emphasis areas which were identified through detailed analysis of statewide crash data. The strategies that were developed involve the four “E”s of safety (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Medical Services.
The federal transportation act, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), requires all states to update their respective Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP) in order to continue to qualify for receipt of Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds. The South Carolina Department of Transportation is responsible for the administration of the state’s HSIP. The HSIP requires a data-driven strategic approach to identify and correct high crash locations and/or crash patterns on all public roads and implement safety improvements through engineering solutions. This HSIP addresses priorities as identified in the SHSP. This is particularly important in South Carolina, where 63% of the public road miles are owned by the state, compared to 19% nationally.
South Carolina’s Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs also receives funding via MAP-21 for education and enforcement activities that are implemented throughout the state as strategies for eliminating traffic fatalities and reducing severe injuries. Additional information regarding specific strategies and countermeasures can be found in the State’s Highway Safety Plan.
The collaboration of so many partners, across so many fields, underscores the unity for driving down fatalities. While South Carolina has experienced an almost 25% reduction in traffic fatalities since 2007, hundreds continue to perish on our state’s road each year. Eliminating fatalities and reducing injuries is not just a vision, it is a goal – one we can all live with.

London Bridge, connecting The City of London to Southwark has had many incarnations as well as a long history. The latest bridge with the city’s namesake opened to traffic in 1973.
The current London Bridge, built between 1968 and 1972, replaced Rennie’s stone arches with beams of prestressed concrete reaching 340 feet (104 metres) in the central span. Construction was carried out using the cantilever method, with segments being built outward from two piers, each segment tied to the previous one by high-strength steel tendons. In the centre the two cantilevers did not meet but stopped short, leaving a space into which the builders placed a concrete beam to complete the span. The design represents a major post-World War II innovation in bridge engineering, but the bridge itself is not of great historical significance.
The modern London Bridge isn’t particularly photogenic, tho’ the views from the bridge are second only to Waterloo Bridge. From London Bridge, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Tower Bridge, The City of London, Tower of London, HMS Belfast and London City Hall. Too, there is a nice sturdy ledge for you to steady your camera for the perfect shot. For the mentioned highlights, London Bridge is indeed one of the best places to photograph London.

How to cap off water pump?
Hello forum friends,
I am needing to cap off my water pump. I have removed the fresh water tank and so have an open water line that for some reason water is backing up to--from the water heater, it appears. Or, when the water is heated it causes pressure to the water pump and through the open line.
Anyways, I need to cap off the line either at the water heater or at the pump. can some one advise the easiest way? I brought this up when I removed the tank a while ago but it got complicated. I'm including some pics for clarity: the pump, the water line to the pump and the water line from the pump--ending in a bucket.

woman and her 2 children died while another son suffered serious injuries when a retaining wall collapsed at Nedumnagad . Police identified the deceased as Sajina, 26, her three-year-old daughter Shifana and six-month-old son Mohammed Shahin. Her five-year-old son Shifan suffered serious injuries and was admitted to SAT Hospital here. Sajina’s husband Shihab had gone for work during the mishap. The house is located at Kayipadi in Nedumangad.
plot adjacent to the house was several metres high and a house was situated there. A concrete retaining wall was constructed to prevent land sliding. With water filling in the compound on the top following rains, the retaining wall collapsed and fell over Shihab’s house along with earth and a portion of the house on the top. Shihab’s house was fully damaged. The four were taken out after an hour-long effort. Though they were rushed to hospital, Sajina, Shifana and Mohammed Shahin could not be saved. The condition of Shifan was stable, said local sources.


In April of 2015 my longtime client and close friend Sandra Stetson Schifter Martinuzzi, donated a building to her Great Grandfather's namesake university, Stetson University in Deland, Florida and named me as the project's architect.
The building was to house the University's Rowing Teams and given its location on Lake Beresford would also include an Institute for Water Resiliency at Stetson.
The 10 acre site would also include a native Botanical Garden based on the model defined by William Bartram, a naturalist in the 1770s who visited the area and chronicled the native flora.
The number and length of the various training and racing shells dictated the 12,000 sq. ft. building's overall footprint. The entire first floor is devoted to Rowing with a mixed use second floor of The Water Institute, an Event Space for receptions and presentations, and a large covered Portico for Regatta viewing.
Materials for the project include poured concrete walls and columns for the first floor structure, poured concrete for the second floor columns and laminated beams for the roof structure. The roofing, all exterior window and door frames and all exposed mechanical systems are custom colored to match the signature University color "Stetson Green". The exterior glazing is silver reflective glass and all exposed second floor ceilings and soffits are locally sourced reclaimed cypress boards.
The building and site work meets the Green Globe criteria established by the Green Building Institute.
I am honored to have my Stetson Aquatic Center selected for this prestigious Case Study by Petersen Aluminum Products. The design of the roof was one of the critical architectural elements of the project and its resulting contribution to the building is immeasurable. The roofing system meets both my aesthetic and functional benchmarks for the project with great success. Many thanks to the team at PAC-CLAD for the recognition.

Pioneer’s Pride Company Backgrounder
Pioneer’s Pride offers do-it-yourself kits to those who want to build their own timber-frame structures. Designed to easily assemble with simple tools, the kits feature beams constructed with mortise and tenon joints secured by wooden pegs. The timber framework is assembled with a wooden mallet.
Constructed of high-quality, durable, hemlock wood, the timber-frame kits reflect the beauty and strength of early American craftsmanship. Hemlock wood is a strong, but light in weight, making it easy for two people to efficiently build their own original timber-frame structure in a very short time.
Pioneer’s Pride channels the combined 80-plus years of experience of father and son, John and Todd Schlabach. The Schlabachs earned a reputation for their ability to repair barns and specialized in challenging restoration projects, as well as their expertise in building new, timber-frame barn structures.
Schlabach started his career in the construction industry in 1965 when he opened Schlabach & Sons, a construction company located in Hartville, Ohio, that repaired and painted structures, focusing on timber framing.
Over the years, Schlabach earned a reputation for his ability to repair barns and specialized in challenging restoration projects, as well as his expertise in building new, timber-frame barn structures.
In 1997, Todd officially joined the company as a partner, and it was renamed Pro Built Construction. Several years later Pro Built Construction branded itself and began doing business as Hartville Barn Boys. Over the years, Pro Built Construction has lifted churches, replaced foundations, rebuilt homes, repaired barns, built additions of all kinds and constructed brand new timber-frame barns.
Timber Framing History
Timber framing, a distinctive style of building construction in which heavy timbers put together with mortise and tenon joints and pegs to frame the structure, was used throughout the world until roughly 1900. Construction methods changed when the demand for inexpensive, fast housing brought conventional lumber to the construction forefront.
Built to last, timber-framed buildings from centuries ago can still be seen and used today. For an example, the famous Old North Church, located in Boston, Massachusetts, and built in 1723, made famous by Paul Revere and its two lanterns to signal that the British were coming by sea instead of land, is still used for services today.
Pioneer’s Pride’s has four, do-it-yourself kits for building timber-frame structures available:
• Mini-Barn – an attractive storage barn, measures 80 square feet in area and 10 feet high
• Pavilion – perfectly proportioned structure to provide beauty to backyards, measures 100 square feet and 10 feet high
• Doghouse – large enough for big dogs and stately for smaller breeds, measures 36-inches wide, 40-inches deep and 48 inches high
• Mailbox Post – aesthetically designed with rustic elegance, one solid post with arm brace provides stability for mailboxes, convenient to mount the mailbox, measures 5 inches wide, 3 feet deep and 8 feet high and weighing 50 pounds.
Pioneer’s Pride kits range in price from $119 to $6,299 (from the mailbox post to the mini-barn). Information on purchasing and delivery can be found at www.pioneerspride.com/2017
Pioneer’s Pride is located in Hartville, Ohio, in the heart of northeast Ohio, near Akron and Cleveland.

A two stage trial of the Scour Prevention Mats was undertaken at E.On’s Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm in 2012 and 2013 to demonstrate the Scour Prevention Mats offshore.
Stage one of the trial involved the placement of six Scour Prevention Mats on the open seabed followed by the removal of one mat. This phase of the trial focussed on developing and proving installation and removal methods of the mats. This phase also gave evidence of the seabed stabilisation ability of the Scour Prevention Mats where there was migration of sandwaves across the site.
The second stage of the trial remediated existing scour at a wind turbine monopile. The scour pit around the turbine was infilled with tyre-filled nets and Scour Prevention Mats were laid on top. Results from multibeam echosounder surveys undertaken before and soon after mat installation are shown to the right, illustrating the increased seabed level around the pile. Pre-existing secondary scour caused by rock dumping used as previous scour protection is still seen: the trial’s aim was to remediate scour immediately around the pile.
The trial successfully demonstrated that the mats stabilise the seabed onto which they are placed and encourage seabourne sediment back into previously existing scour pits.
The trials were supported by the Technology Strategy Board.

The assembly of the segments of the superstructure of the bridge Vidin-Calafat was started at pier
10 in the navigation channel of the river.
A total number of 178 segments with weight up to 240 tons will continue the superstructure of the bridge in the navigable channel of the Danube river. The all are produced in the production plant of the company – Constructor, FCC Construccion, which is situated in the free Zone Vidin. Each pair of segments is transported by a barge from the production plant to the respective pier, where they are assembled with the help of a crane (girder trus), mounted on the respective pier in the river by highly specialized engineering and technical staff. Each segment has its individual parameters, depending on its place in the structure of the road installation. The assembly of the segments is executed in pairs which are prestressed with steel cables.
The length of the superstructure of the bridge in the navigable channel of the river is 746 meters, and in the non-navigable – 650 m. The first 300 smaller segments of the superstructure (with weight from 80 – to 120 tons each) are assembled in the non-navigable channel of the river – from Abutment A2 to Pier PB8.


260m2 | Brick and Colorsteel | Roof pitch 25 degrees
This build was a rewarding experience as the customer was also fully engaged both in project management and the laboring part of the build. We enjoyed working together and hope to repeat it again sometime in the future.
The site cut was already done by the time when we were engaged and we were able to go straight to the foundation preparation. As the platform is right next to the steep bank the engineering team decided to support the RIB RAFT floor with concrete piles, 3m deep.
After drilling and concreting the piles we boxed the floor and installed all components of the RIB RAFT system. Prior to that the plumbers did their part of the job. All inspections were passed from the first time and were ready for the big pour.
Though the weather was hot, the concrete pump and cortege of concrete trucks didn’t let us down.
Unfortunately, we had to freeze the job due to COVID, but as soon as things were clear we came back and started framing. No problems at all as long as I remember. Inspection passed from the first time.
The building was wrapped with EcoPly barrier, in my view not the cheapest way but definitely the most preferred due to its bracing, acoustic and insulation features.
Windows were installed and ready for the cavity system and cladding. The Colorsteel cladding then went on, followed by the installation of all the steel to brick junction flashings. Needless to say, the design is fantastic: industrial barn Colorsteel cladding lines and amazing rustic brick. Black and red, that’s it.
We managed to drop the scaffolding down as soon as the roof was finished and used the mobile scaffold to finish the rest. The mobile scaffold was purchased by the owner and definitely saved him a dollar compared to a proper scaffold.
The owner had to move in as soon as the last brick went in the wall, the cladding inspection passed easily.


More Than a Million Cree LEDs Illuminate China’s First Major Highway LED Lighting Project
Shenzhen, China, October 13, 2011 — Helping to further drive the LED lighting revolution, China recently completed its largest highway lighting upgrade with more than 10,000 street lights featuring more than a million Cree XLamp XP-G and XP-E High Efficiency White (HEW) LEDs. The Shenzhen highway project includes nearly 75 miles of roadways, with LED fixtures installed along one tunnel and four highways.
The LED street lighting installation was a key component of the 2011 Summer Universidade, an international multi-sport event, organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), hosted by Shenzhen in August.
In compliance with China’s stringent roadway lighting requirements for light efficacy, brightness, luminance, heat dissipation and service lifespan, Kingsun Optoelectronic Co. Ltd., a leading LED lighting company in China, selected Cree XLamp LEDs to illuminate Jihe highway number G15, Nanguang highway number G9411, Longda highway number S318, Yanba highway as well as the Dameisha Tunnel.
Kingsun installed 270-watt and 300-watt RL2R Apollo LED luminaires alongside the highways, including three traffic lanes and an emergency lane in each direction. The installation was designed to average more than 20lux, the national standard for main roads illumination.
In utilizing the combination of Cree XLamp XP-G and XP-E HEW LEDs, which provide high lumen output, unmatched efficacy and compact package size, Kingsun anticipates a 60 percent reduction in energy consumption compared to the replaced, high pressure sodium fixtures. According to the Energy Management Contract (EMC) business model implemented by Kingsun, the energy savings associated with the Shenzhen project can be put toward the installation’s upfront costs for an estimated return on investment of four years.
“Cree’s XLamp LEDs proved to be the perfect solution for our modular lighting system, providing the illumination performance required by our light distribution scheme for this major roadway installation,” said Mr. Li Xuliang, president of Kingsun Optoelectronic Co. Ltd.
“In large-scale lighting deployments like the Shenzhen Highway Project, where lumen output and efficacy are both essential and required, LED lighting is the ideal solution,” said Mr. Tang Guoqing, General Manager of Cree China Sales. “Cree’s broad portfolio of XLamp LEDs was selected for this demanding project because they are highly efficient and have been proven to reduce overall system costs.”

Can be used in commercial pressure sprayers and Vac Trucks to enhance cleaning of force mains.
FFT ORANGE FLUSH is a double strength degreasing product for municipal lift stations and collection systems.
Hand or pump sprayer application
Used mainly as a maintenance dose
Will not melt hard grease before your eyes
For best results clean wet well then start maintenance dose once a week before grease has time to harden up.
For use on all components of the lift stations. Will not damage float balls, pump risers, pump rails, or wet well walls.
Pleasant orange scent added for odor purposes.
Can be used to clean clogged force mains.
Cleans clogged air relief valves if the product can get in contact with the ARV.
Cleans down the line until the product is used up.
A customized technology for odor control that works by fogging a headspace or wet well that contain concentrations of Hydrogen sulfide.
Odor mite is non hazardous and won’t damage any part of the wet well including the risers, float balls, pump rails and electrical wiring.
When Odor Mite comes in contact with hydrogen sulfide, it forms a dithiomine solution. This solution is a mild corrosion inhibitor.
All components of the wet well are protected from corrosion, because as the fog is introduced into the headspace, it forms a Odor Mite moisture barrier between the equipment and the environment that the hydrogen sulfide cannot penetrate.
Odor Mite reaction is instantaneous and starts to work as soon as it comes in contact with the hydrogen sulfide molecule.
The Odor Mite fogging system is quick and easy to set up and generally can be in operation within an hour.
Ideal for Lift stations with restricted area, foot print on an Odor Mite unit is about 6’ X 6’.
Typical results are as follows:
Assists Vactor Trucks in cleaning grease in collection system force and gravity mains.
As the truck uses its cleaning nozzle to break up clogs due to grease buildup, the mix keeps the suspended grease from reforming downstream at the next lift station.
Once the grease has been treated, the municipality is done dealing with it. The grease now is broken down to a micelle where the naturally occurring bacteria in the pipes can metabolize material.
Economical – 1 gallon treats 1000 gallons of wash water.
Takes care of scale in both municipal water and wastewater applications.
Chloromine water plants generally have a scaling problem in the system or in the air scrubbing process.
What they are using now are strong acids to clean problem areas. This process requires protective clothing and is hazardous to the workers.
Acid burns to employees are very common.
FFT descaler eliminates scale from transition manholes, air scrubbing effluent pipes and aids in freeing stuck valves in the process.
FFT Descaler requires no specialized PPE equipment. Gloves and Protective eye ware is sufficient.
The reaction of the descaler to the scale is cool to the touch.
FFT descaler can be hand applied or dosed with at a continuous dose rate determined by the demand of scale in the pipes.

Silvertown! Would be best served by constructing new public transport, walking, and cycle crossings
Updated: Mar 2, 2021
There is an inherent and unarguable contradiction in the construction of a new £2bn road tunnel which creates massive new capacity but will not allow more people to cross the river.
1. The Mayor of London declared a Climate Emergency. In a climate emergency we need to reduce motor traffic use. New roads lead to increased traffic. The Silvertown Tunnel creates space for 100,00 new vehicles a day to cross the river. The entire business case for the Silvertown Tunnel is built around traffic (and so carbon emissions) forecasts that assume that emissions reduction targets in the GLA's Environment Strategy are not met. So building the project is incompatible with that Environment Strategy both on environmental grounds and on economic grounds.
2. We are in a clean air emergency too. More traffic means more pollution. The Tunnel has HGV lanes accommodating bigger more polluting vehicles and encouraging them to travel past our homes and thousands of children at school. The new Tunnel mouth emerges in Newham, already the most polluted borough in the UK with high rates of asthma and low birth weight. See this document from 2012. The problem is well known. https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/air_quality_for_public_health_professionals_-_lb_newham.pdf Small particulate matter from brakes and tyres of heavy goods vehicles reach every part of the body through the blood stream causing a multitude of illnesses. TfL claim Silvertown Tunnel will not worsen air quality overall. But even if we believe that it will definitely worsen air quality for those in Newham and for those who live along the A102 when two tunnels meet southbound at the afternoon peak hour.
3. The Silvertown Tunnel project costs have increased from £600m (Oct 2012) to £700m (Sept 2013) to £750m (Oct 2014). And now a staggering £2bn. Although Heidi Alexander’s office still claim it will cost £1bn in fact currently at £65mn a year plus inflation, nearly £2bn is projected to be paid to Riverlinx, a global PFI, raised by tolls on both tunnels. Before even being built it has risen to an eye watering amount of money to be taken from some of the poorest communities in London. No other river crossing is currently tolled.
4. The tolls for the Tunnel which pay for the scheme are presented as mitigation to keep the additional possible 100,00 extra journeys a day traffic down. TfL says in its document about the tolls
“Without a user charge, the benefits of additional capacity put in place by the new tunnel would be short-lived, owing to an effect known as ‘induced traffic’ in which the increased convenience of driving (owing to reduced journey times, for example) attracts additional traffic to the point where queues initially relieved return to their former levels. This would lead to there still being significant delay at the crossing and to continued adverse impacts on the wider road network in terms of congestion, journey time and journey time reliability. This in turn would undermine the resilience benefits brought about by having an additional tunnel. If no charge were applied, the Scheme would give rise to secondary adverse impacts in terms of the economy, environment and public transport.”
However, these very tolls could be reduced or scrapped by a future populist mayor for example. As TfL forecast, this would lead to massive increases in congestion and pollution across our communities.
5. Given that a toll is seen as a way to keep traffic down by TfL why don’t they simply toll the Blackwall Tunnel and use the £65mn a year on active travel measures? This would both deal with the problem of congestion, if the toll is set high enough, and bring in new income for a cash strapped TfL. They have not properly modelled this possibility. If we can raise £2bn through road charging we should be using it for reducing motor traffic, on public transport schemes, cycling and walking measures. Not to profit an offshore global conglomerate.
6. The Tunnel does not accommodate cyclists pedestrians and cargo bikes. The Mayor of London aims to increase active travel, yet this scheme flies in the face of these aims. Cargo bikes are the future of London’s transport and will help with deliveries of people and goods. This is an outdated scheme.
7. The original projections for the project did not include “change of land use”. We have all seen the huge developments on both sides of the river. Among new plans are the biggest freight depot in Europe on the Newham side, and another freight depot on the Greenwich side. A new road attracts new freight. The traffic projections are outdated.
8. One of the few benefits of the Tunnel is a new double decker bus route through Silvertown Tunnel. However, this commitment in the Development Consent Order to run these new bus services to help mitigate traffic volumes, congestion, and pollution that will be induced by the new tunnel is only funded for three years after opening. Given TfL’s funding situation, and the fact that the Silvertown Tunnel is not on the main bus user desire line, which goes through Blackwall, it is unlikely they will be continued, and, if they are not traffic will inevitably ramp up as bus users are forced to return to use cars. This effect alone will be sufficient to remove any claimed air quality benefit.
In summary we understand the very real issues of congestion at Blackwall, and of the lack of river crossing options in the East of London. However, in a context where you have an overall policy of traffic reduction the answer to these issues is a strategy of motor traffic reduction at the Blackwall crossing. This would be best served by the construction of new public transport, walking, and cycling crossings.

This means that an aluminium roof is still designed to last and weather all the storms and challenges that any roof will inevitably face.
Ease Of Installation
One of the major benefits of aluminium roofing, especially when compared with other metal roofing options, is the ease with which it can be installed. Aluminium sheets are light weight making them easy to move and install. This means that the installation process is easier and takes less time. This fact can really help to reduce the upfront labor costs and really save you money. Along with that, aluminium can be easily molded into different shapes, so it’s the perfect fit for any home, no the shape or style of roofing that you require. All of this makes getting an aluminium roof for your home easy.
Although light weight when compared with other metals, aluminium roofing sheets still provide amazing durability. This is due to the fact that aluminium has one of the highest strength to weight ratios. This means that, like most other roofing options, aluminium roofing offers incredible durability and longevity, all with out the need for much maintenance or care. As such, choosing an aluminium roof means that you can be sure that your roof is designed and built to last, even when faced with the serious challenges that come with an outdoor setting.
Possibly one of the biggest benefits of choosing aluminium roofing is that aluminium is impervious to rust. Rust is a serious issues that can cause all sorts of problems. This isn’t something that you’ll ever need to worry about if you have an aluminium roof, however. This helps to increase the overall durability and longevity of aluminum roofing, whilst decreasing the amount of maintenance and care that your roof requires. Imagine the savings you can make. This only further increases the amazing long term value that aluminium roofing can provide for you.

President Trump highlighted the importance of modernizing infrastructure nationwide during a meeting with state and local officials.
At a roundtable discussion at the White House Monday, the president emphasized the difficulty in funding projects as well as the need to speed up the permit process from a ten year review to a two year wait period.
His plan is projected to bolster U.S. infrastructure by $1.5 trillion to $1.7 trillion, $50 billion of which will be allocated specifically to rural infrastructure.
President Trump also illustrated the plan as a way to empower state and local governments to give back to the people of America.
“We’re here today to discuss the critical need to rebuild America’s crumbling infrastructure and one understands, and the people in this room really understand better than most probably — hopefully better than anybody — that the problem the states have and local leaders have with funding the infrastructure is horrendous,” stated the president.
President Trump claims the infrastructure overhaul is key in assuring the economy reaches its full potential.


South Carolina OSHA's Revised Standards for Hexavalent Chromium and Steel Erection
On June 28, 2010, the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation held a public hearing to revise and amend existing health and safety standards for 29 CFR parts 1910 and 1926, as necessary to comply with federal laws.
The hearing included revising the employee notification standards for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) monitoring for general industry and construction and technical amendments to the steel erection standard for construction.
Revised subpart(s) 1910.1026(d)(4)(i) and 1926.1126(d)(4)(i) require employers to notify employees of all hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) exposure determinations regardless of whether they are above or below the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5 micrograms per cubic meter (µ g/m3). Under the revised rules, notice has to be provided within 15 working days for general industry and within 5 working days for construction. The effective date for compliance with the new notification standards is July 23, 2010.
OSHA is not changing any of the monitoring or exposure characterization requirements in the final standard. The amended notification provision, when compared to the standard as originally promulgated, will simply require employers to post more names or send more individual notices after exposure determinations are made.
Monitoring and medical surveillance requirements serve to reduce residual risks from potential hexavalent chromium exposure that remains below the PEL. OSHA believes that this amendment to the notification requirement will, in addition to the other ancillary requirements, further reduce the risk of health impairment associated with Cr(VI) exposures below 5µ g/m3.
South Carolina OSHA also adopted a technical amendment which adds a non mandatory note to standards governing steel erection. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations generally require employers involved in National Highway System construction projects to comply with a number of standards, policies and standard specifications published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), among other organizations.
Upon investigation of a fatal accident involving a bridge construction project in Colorado in 2004, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that there was insufficient design and installation of the temporary bracing system for the bridge girders involved. In response, OSHA added a note to 1926.754 that provides consensus standard information as a resource for employers with projects involving employees working on or near structural steel elements used in highway construction. A technical amendment to Subpart R, Section 1926.754 for the safety standards governing steel erection for construction, adds no additional duty for compliance. The note to 29 CFR 1926.754(a), informs construction employers of the Federal Highway Administration requirements.

CEMACAM Centre, Sangonera la Verde , Murcia
Cemacam is a bioclimatic educational centre
The CEMACAM Environmental Education Centre in Torre Guil is one of three environmental and educational centres in the region. The other two are the Centres in Los Molinos (Crevillent) and Venta Mina (Buñol). The building, which is an outstanding example of bioclimatic architecture, is designed to blend in with the natural landscape of the area and allows for the best use of the natural resources from the surroundings. It is equipped with thermal insulation throughout the foundations as well as passive air capture, cooling and penetration systems to minimize the consumption of energy used for climatic control. The earth, sun, wind and water are all used to maximum benefit in the design and function of the centre.
Wind: In the central courtyard of the building is a semicircular tower-like structure known as the Wind Rose which faces east and is designed with special vaults and angles to encourage wind to flow into the building. The collected air is then fed through underground pipes to be filtered, cooled and distributed throughout the complex. The arch structures and roof top air shafts enable the hot air to escape, allowing continual circulation of renewed fresh air.
Sun: The main building, including the Information Centre and offices, Dining Room, Hall, Classrooms and Bedroom blocks are all fitted with heating systems which make use of specially designed chimneys and pipes to absorb and refresh the air naturally. Solar panels and photovoltaic cell panels are used to produce all the electricity used in the centre. In addition, the main lighting used comes from natural light with adjustable skylights allowing the maximum natural light to enter. This is reflected off the white walls. As the natural light dies down, it is progressively compensated with low artificial lighting, maintaining equal levels of light both day and night.
Earth: Each of the sections of the building has the roof covered with a thick layer of earth and this is planted with plant species from the natural surroundings. This has the effect of creating a unique thermal and bioclimatic balance, keeping the temperature of the buildings at the most comfortable level throughout the year.
Water: Natural rainwater is collected in various indoor and outdoor reservoirs and this is used and recycled throughout the building. The open reservoirs also allow for natural precipitation, maintaining comfortable levels of natural humidity in the air. This natural water is also used in the wind tunnel to filter pollen and dust from the air before it is circulated into the building.
The primary objective of the centre is to provide an education centre which favours environmentally sustainable development. The Centre offers activities to all interested groups, be they executives, teachers, young people, senior citizens, scientists or environmentalists. The centre is equipped with the necessary infrastructure for organizing all kinds of workshops, seminars or congresses and conventions. The conference room is of a unique design that enables it to be opened up on two sides, allowing room for up to 500 people. In spite of its size, the acoustics in the room are such that no amplifiers are needed for a speaker to be easily heard throughout the room.
Cemacam Centre, Torre Guil was presented with the Environmental Quality Award in Ecodesign, granted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Environment of the Region of Murcia last June.

If in 2020 you were planning to do the Great Loop–the 6,000-mile journey along the Eastern Seaboard, through the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi, across the Gulf of Mexico and crucially, through New York state’s Erie Canal–there is bad news.
New York state deems the Erie Canal “non-essential” during the coronavirus pandemic. That means the canal will not open on May 15 and may not open at all in 2020, which would be a first for the 195-year-old canal.
“Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the Canal Corporation has suspended all non-essential construction and maintenance activities; therefore, the New York State Canal system will not open for through-navigation of the locks on May 15 as previously announced,” the New York State Canal Corporation said Friday.
The Erie Canal is one of the most popular segments of the Great Loop route. There is an alternative route through Lake Champlain, but that also requires passage through locks operated by the Empire State.

Looking ahead at rising sea levels, water utilities in low-lying areas need to plan to handle an increased risk of flooding. In Denmark, flood defenses in the Ringkøbing Fjord have been bolstered by the installation of two new pumping stations, which were designed and equipped by Sulzer. The new facilities will help to protect the town and the surrounding countryside for the next 40 years and far beyond.
Having been reclaimed from the sea, the land surrounding Ringkøbing in west Denmark is protected by a series of dikes and a sea lock, which have successfully kept the water at bay. However, projections for the average water level in the area expect it to rise by 600 mm by 2060, which has led the local water utility, Ringkøbing-Skjern Forsyning A/S, to implement a large-scale development of the drainage and flood defense systems.
Designing for the Future
Once the basic design concept had been established, a technical evaluation was completed to determine the most suitable supplier to partner with the water utility. Sulzer was selected as the Tier 1 construction partner and appointed to deliver the two pumping stations.
Based on the outline for the scheme and the projected figures supplied, Sulzer specified the pumps and designed the pipework to deliver a system that would handle the forecasted water levels until 2060. At that point, the lock will be permanently closed and the pumping stations upgraded to enable them to operate as the only means of drainage in the area.
To support both the water utility and the contractors working on site, Sulzer created a virtual reality simulation of the pumping stations. This enabled those involved in the project to see exactly how the scheme would work and how the equipment would be arranged. It was especially useful for the contractors installing the concrete work that would make up the collection and discharge areas for the water.
Each pumping station was designed with a base load pump to handle the day-to-day drainage water and three or four peak load pumps, which operate in a duty/assist/standby arrangement. The Ringkøbing and Skælbækker stations will have a pumping capacity of 1,582 liters per second (417 gallons per second) and 2,254 liters per second (595 gallons per second) respectively.
Built to Last
For this project, Sulzer specified its VUPX vertical column pump for the peak load task and the XFP submersible for the base load. Each pump design has been fine-tuned for this application and has proven performance in thousands of installations around the world. Their build specifications include IE3 motors, which provide reliable and energy efficient operation.
Manufactured with double mechanical seals, stainless steel components and long-life, heavy-duty bearings, these pumps are designed for extended periods of reliable operation between maintenance intervals. All nine Sulzer pumps were delivered according to the build schedule and the overall project was completed on time.


Tata Power today announced that its solar manufacturing arm and EPC Tata Power Solar has commissioned India’s largest floating solar power project at Kayamkulam, Kerala. The solar power plant, with an installed capacity of 101.6 MWp, is built on a 350-acre body of water in the backwaters of Kerala. It is also India’s first floating solar power plant to benefit from a power purchase agreement. The plant will supply the generated electricity to the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).
“This facility was completed on schedule, despite the arduous challenges of varying water depths, high tides and severe water salinity issues experienced throughout the construction life of the project,” said Tata Power.
Tata Power said its project implementation team built a scaffolding platform on the water body to float the entire solar power plant on the water. The plant has a 5 MW inverter on a floating platform. The whole project is anchored to the Kerala backwater waterbed with the help of 134 cast pile foundations which are drilled to a depth of 20 meters under water to support the central monitoring and control stations and the 33/220 kV switchyard. This was all done by dredging the soil layers under water, where the high water table was also a deterrent, the company added.
The entire array including floats and solar panel modules had to be towed 3 kilometers on a national waterway connected to the sea, 15 meters deep, exposing the solar modules to high winds and gushing tides often reaching a height of about 3.5 meters. To operationalize the project, Tata Power Solar’s execution team was able to successfully synchronize the 33/220 kV air-insulated substation with the existing 220 kV gas-insulated substation.
With the commissioning of this project, Tata Power Solar’s total utility scale solar project portfolio has reached 9.7 GWp.
