Easy-to-install parking sensors transmit the occupancy status of each parking space wirelessly and in real time. This not only makes it easier for people looking for a parking space to find a free space, but also helps to quickly identify parking violators or long-term parkers. To the benefit of those who have a claim to the parking space.
Another benefit is that the data collected by the parking sensors from Smart City System Parking Solutions can be easily integrated into third-party systems, for example to monitor parking spaces with e-charging stations. For example, if a vehicle is blocking a parking space with an e-charging station without charging there, parking managers can be alerted quickly and take appropriate action.

Elements of GROWMAT system panel fencing:
panels, posts, clamps and mounting strip are protected against corrosion with zinc coating through hot galvanizing process in accordance with the norm: EN-ISO1491(DIN50976).
As a result of a hot galvanizing process (bath in liquid zinc at 440–460°C) on the surface of the galvanized element occurs a diffusion, that is steel and zinc form an alloy layer on where accumulates a pure zinc layer.
Anticorrosive protection in DUPLEX system consists of applying properly prepared zinc coating on a special paint coating. In DUPLEX system of GROWMAT company this coating is made of polyester powder lacquer applied with the electrostatic method. The most important element that has effect on the durability of the paint coating is preparation of galvanized surface. As we are fully aware of that we use abrasive blasting that allows to achieve the highest adhesion of paint coating and thus its highest quality.
The option of equipping a 40×60 panel post with an outrigger allows to improve security of fenced area or property. It can be:
- in single or double version;
- placed inside or outside the fencing;
- filled with a fencing panel or with 1, 2 or 3 rows of barbed wire.
- It is recommended to make fencing panels intended for fencings of schools, nurseries, bus stops etc. in a special way depriving them of upper wire endings (comb). It protects people trying to go over the fence from the risk of injury.
- In case of mounting fencing panels in sections of <2,5m, we cut them short on site (on a building site). We cut panels with wire-cutters (that allow to cut bars up to 8 mm). The panel is cut short in a modular manner every 50 mm, as close as possible to the welding. Cut bars are secured with lacquer mortar in a given colour.
3. Individual solutions
Fencing panels system allows the possibility of any type of construction in the form of:
- dog playpens;
- trash can covers;
- ball catch fencings (>2,56 m, made of two panels);
- temporary fencings of building sites.


When a building owner decides to install wooden floors at his property, all reliable builders and architects will suggest using engineered hardwood for this purpose. Though there are different types of hardwoods available in the market, oak is the most popular hardwood used in building constructions because of its higher durability and aesthetic look. Thus, many people prefer to install engineered oak flooring at their homes or offices.
Few aspects to be known about engineered oak flooring
How is engineered oak wood special? – Engineered oak wood is quite different from solid wooden boards. A solid wood floor is made of large blocks of solid wood while the engineered oak flooring consists of only the uppermost layer of oak wood and several lower layers of plywood or fiberboard. The engineered wood is also different from laminated wood that comprises multiple layers of fiberboard topped by a lamination. Thus, the engineered oak wood looks much different from the laminated wooden boards or solid wood.
Main qualities of engineered oak wood – Unlike solid wood, engineered hardwood does not need a subfloor for installation. It can be fastened with the help of nails, glue or staples, making the installation simpler and faster. The dimensions of solid hardwood change with the fluctuation in atmospheric temperature, which is not a problem in the case of engineered oak wood. Thus, people can install engineered hardwood flooring at kitchens and bathrooms as well, despite the high humidity at these places. Moreover, engineered oak flooring is more durable than solid or laminated hardwood floors.
A better option for the environment – A solid hardwood floor needs to cut down multiple trees while an engineered oak wood floor can be made from only one oak tree. Since very thin planks are needed for floor construction, one oak tree can be used for making several floors. Moreover, oak wood planks can be recycled for constructing new floors, which reduces the need for cutting new trees.
Cleaning process of the engineered wooden floor – The accumulated dust and dirt particles can be simply cleaned with the help of a sweeper containing soft bristles. A lightweight vacuum cleaner may also be used for this purpose, in which the rotating bristles can be disabled to prevent damage on the hardwood flooring surface. Stains and spills on the floor surface can be wiped off with a microfiber mop or a usual mop, where the excess liquid should be absorbed with a clean rug or towel.
All these factors help house owners in the installation and maintenance of engineered oak flooring so that these floors last for long in good condition.

The metallic noise barriers are of two types. It can be a one sided noise reflective barrier or a barrier that has acoustic properties on both sides. The two sided barrier will deflect sound from either side thereby creating a sound wall. The barrier panels are light in weight as both steel and aluminium are light weight. This makes it easy to install as well.

SOIL INVESTIGATION AKZO DE KEYNBelgium
Tauw was commissioned by OVAM (Openbare Vlaamse Afvalstoffenmaatschappij) to perform an extensive descriptive soil investigation on the sites of the former De Keyn paint factory. On the site also an old plaster dumping ground was present, originating back to the beginning of the 20th century when the artificial fertilizer industry was present.
Tauw investigated the impact of the dumping ground on groundwater quality. A periodical monitoring campaign of several years was done investigating the leach out and evolution of heavy metals, sulphates, phosphates and chlorides. Based upon the data obtained a conclusion was made regarding the risks of contamination spread.
In preparation of the remediation a feasibility study was performed on the material of the plaster dump itself. Drillings in the plaster materials determined composition, leach out and radioactive radiation. Based upon all collected information possibilities for remediation and redevelopment of the site were elaborated.

Taliaferro Hall is a dormitory located on Jamestown Road between the Campus Center and the Old Bookstore. The building has served as a dormitory, bookstore, and tea room since its completion in June 1935. Plans for the building were first presented to the Board of Visitors in 1931, who approved of the plans and accepted a bid from J.W. Davis of Newport News for $62,810. The architect hired to design the building was J. Binford Walford. In 1934, the contract for the project was awarded to Peters Construction Co. of Newport News. The construction of the building was made possible by a PWA grant and loan of $650,000. In keeping with tradition, the building was designed to mimic the Georgian architecture of its neighboring structures. It replaced the Taliaferro Building and serve as a men's dormitory but it in 1978, it became the first co-ed freshman dormitory. It has a capacity to hold 60 students. In 1986-1988, Taliaferro Hall housed freshmen designated as Presidential Scholars.

The project MOSE is a project for the protection of the Venice from flood. The project is an integrated protection system, consisting of a series of mobile dams capable of isolating the Venice Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea when the tide reaches a determined level (110 cm) and up to a maximum of three meters.
The idea is that before the arrival of flooding from the open sea, a special underwater dams closing three holes in the Lagoon of Venice – with the passage of Lido, Malamocco and Chioggia. During those few hours, the Venice lagoon would be closed and ships could not freely enter. These underwater partition doors would lie at the bottom of the sea and be constructed as special tanks filled with air or water. When filled with air, then they would rise to the surface of the sea and close their entrances to Laguna, and when the air was blown, they would rest at the bottom of the sea. The dam would be about 20 meters wide and the height would vary from sea depths – from 20 to 30 meters. The project provides for setting up around 78 dams, and their life span is about 50 years.
In one of the largest construction projects in the history of Italy worth more than 7 billion euros, two Croatian companies participate; Brodosplit and Gumiimpex-GRP.
Brodosplit will deliver 63 dams that include 20,000 tonnes of installed steel total value of works and logistics of over € 70 million. Parallel to the construction of steel dams in Brodosplit, Gumiimpex-GRP specializes in the production of protective rubber coatings, producing rubber bumpers that are part of the dam and lying on the seabed. It is important to emphasize the cooperation of Croatian companies and the decision of an Italian investor that after almost one year of testing in Chinese companies and dissatisfaction with the results, the construction of important equipment is entrusted to domestic companies.
A tool for the design and manufacture of rubber bumpers, in which after the formation and vulcanization process a rubber bumper with an impressive mass of 920 kg is formed, and on each steel blade several such bumpers are mounted, which at the level of the contracted project means delivery of about 300 pieces.

Residents are asked to respect the barricades in the construction area and please do not drive on the personal property of residents in the area to go around the barricades.
As you may be aware, Springside Town Council has signed a contract with Kelsey Pipelines, through Bullee Consulting, to construct a new sewage pumping station and force main in the Town of Springside. The existing lift station is starting to fail, is not reliable and needs to be upgraded. The total cost of the project will be $2,150,000, paid for in a three-way partnership between the town and the federal and provincial governments through the Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component (PTIC) Grant. Construction is scheduled to begin mid-August, 2019 and to be completed by the end of February, 2020.
The new lift station will be located on the corner of Sharman Street and Collins Avenue, which is adjacent to the existing one. With any new construction we can expect some disruptions, such as extra traffic in the area - particularly with large equipment, traffic detours, road closures and possibly minimal disruptions in water services.
At a special meeting held in council chambers on July 22, 2019, representatives from Kelsey Pipelines explained that they will attempt to keep the disruptions to a minimum. Throughout the process, they will be providing updates to the Town Office and we will pass that information on through our Facebook page and via the Town of Springside website.

Did Environmentalists Cause Destruction of New Orleans?
So, everyone is angry with the folks at the Army Corps of Engineers for not strengthening the levees, and pointing fingers. But here's an article from National Review (an admitted conservative mouthpiece, I'll balance it later). It describes environmental group lawsuits as recently as the late 1990's over Corps projects to build up the levee system in New Orleans.
And one from the LA Times (thought linked through the Chicago Tribune) that describes the 1967 law to do a major rework on the New Orleans system, including floodgates, that was brought to a halt by Save Our Wetlands.
So the big question is, did environmentalists put crawfish and shrimp ahead of human safety? And does the $500 million it would cost to build the 1967 project seem like overspending, now that we've appropriated over $60 billion as a down payment on repairs?
I'm not saying either of these projects would have saved New Orleans, however, watching the news reports, the city seemed to be spared the brunt of the wind damage from the storm, being on the west eyewall will do that. How much of the flooding might have been prevented with floodgates on the canal system, and higher levees on the lakes, projects stopped by environmental groups?


[ASC-media] Media release: more rice, less water

CRCA Media Release 04/13

MORE RICE FOR LESS WATER
A new Australian method for selecting low water-use soils for rice production and reduced risk of salinity is being adopted by rice farmers.
Australia is already one of the world's most water-efficient rice producers in the world, says Mr Geoff Beecher of the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Sustainable Rice Production. The new technique takes us one better.
The new approach uses electromagnetic induction to create a picture of the soil to a depth of five metres or more, allowing targeted soil sampling combined with the evaluation of soil chemical properties such as sodicity. Soil sodicity is linked to decreased soil permeability especially in clay soils.
Used together, these techniques help minimise the amount of irrigation water which escapes into the groundwater system, he says.
The method uses a Geonics EM-31 instrument mounted on a 4WD motor cycle to carry out rapid field surveys to help pick the land likely to use the least water.
"Rice is a major export crop, worth over $350 million in a good year," says Mr Beecher, "but today's rice farmer must meet stringent controls to keep the industry sustainable and to satisfy environmental standards.
"The main threat to all irrigated agriculture in southern Australia is salinisation due to rising water tables," he says.
"Since the 1960s soil assessment of rice growing areas has been undertaken to identify where the soil doesn't 'leak' - that is, where irrigation water cannot escape into groundwater and raise the water table. Until the introduction of the new electromagnetic techniques, soil sampling to establish where rice could be grown was relatively simple, says Mr Beecher.
"The rule of thumb related the depth of clay in the soil to the amount of 'leakage' through the soil into the groundwater," says Mr Beecher. "Soil evaluation sites were selected on a grid basis, with one site per four hectares. There was also some attempt to use aerial photography to locate sites where the subsoil clay could be insufficient.
"But a multitude of chemical and physical factors can affect groundwater recharge, as well as local management practices," says Mr Beecher. "The grid system gave a fair indication of soil characteristics on a regional basis, but was far from accurate."
Mr Beecher says that electromagnetic induction surveys enables the farmer to make a rapid and comprehensive survey of land to select those areas most suitable for rice growing.
"The instrument senses variation in bulk electrical conductivity in the soil. The instrument responds to variations in salinity, clay content, moisture, and the bulk density of the soil. This electromagnetic surveying is then backed up by targeted soil sampling combined with evaluation of soil chemical properties."
Mr Beecher foresees many possible uses for the soil electrical conductivity data collected during the electromagnetic surveying technique developed by the CRC.
"Electromagnetic induction surveying maps may have an important role to play in precision farming allowing zoned management of fields for more controlled use of fertilisers/soil amendment inputs (lime/gypsum), saving the farmer money, giving higher yields for every dollar spent and protecting the environment," he says.
The technique may also be useful for locating suitable sites for dams and off-river water storage facilities.
Australia's rice crop grows on an average area of around 150,000 hectares. The industry's goal is a production standard of more than ten tonnes of grain per hectare.
Mr Beecher says that the industry also has a target of one tonne of rice per megalitre of water; the current figure is about 700 kilos/Ml.
The new soil testing approach, which is now available to farmers through the CRC, will be a major step in achieving both goals - while at the same time helping to prevent salinity and provide water for the environment.
2004 is the International Year of Rice.
This research serves National Research Priorities One (an Environmentally Sustainable Australia) and Three (Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries).

We have completed a range of work that we are extremely proud of & want to show off.
Our quality of work is our bond, head to our gallery so you can see for yourselves.


Having to go back and redo work that has already been done is both time consuming and expensive. It can often mean the difference between making money and losing money.
Cutting out and replacing or repairing flashing that has been damaged takes time that could be used laying brick or block.
It can also be a potential liability in that if the flashing is not repaired correctly, it could leak in the future.
Flash Trac uses a simple process where the flashing receiver is placed on the wall prior to the application of spray foam insulation. The receiver can stay there indefinitely until the brick or block are to be laid. Then, the flashing is inserted into the receiver where a retaining rod holds it securely.
Our product is new but is already receiving the highest marks from anyone that sees it.
A large university in Vermont was the first place Flash Trac was installed. It was referred to as "a complete success".
Thru-wall flashing has been a problem for masons and spray foam contractors ever since it has been used on the annular space between the exterior sheathing and the brick or block.
Flashing used to be installed prior to spray foam application. The Flashing was distorted and contaminated by the spraying process.
The flashing was further damaged by exposure to the elements prior to brick or block setting.
These issues have now been solved!!


Meaning of panel tanks
As the name suggests, the panel tank means a chain of the normal tank. In technical words, panel tanks are the structure in accordance with a modular system which enables the assembling and construction of tank of any size. The material used for the construction of panel tanks are plastics, fiberglass, concrete, welded steel, bolted steel, carbon or stainless steel, and stones. These tanks can be either insulated or non-insulated.
Structure of panel tanks
- The structure of panel tanks should have plain concrete usage, resistant to cracks, has enough potential to withhold the liquid especially the pressure incurred on walls and protection against cohesion.
- The structure and design of the panel tanks should be such that they do not harm the natural properties of liquid stored such as the prevalence of bacteria, the formation of fungi, viruses, algae, variations in taste, etc.
- The tank should be made of dense concrete to maintain and uphold the potential of the tank to hold a high quantity of liquid.
- The base of the tank should rigid.
- Movement joints, contraction joints, and temporary joints should be used well with proper spacing to avoid cracks, shrinkage and unequal settlement due to change in temperature, climatic conditions, and nature of liquid being stored inside.
- The panel tank should support easy drainage of liquid.
Uses of panel tanks
- It is used as a container for storing water by municipals, drinking water, household applications and irrigation, agricultural purposes, fire suppression, for plants and lives stock, preparation of food, chemical manufacturing, and industrial use and in many other ways.
- Panel tanks have longer durable and can compensate with weather conditions and quantitative load.
- Panel tanks are installed with mirrors, therefore, helps in the prevention of gathering of dirt and bares the growth of bacteria.
- Panel tanks are movable hence can be ported from one place to another anytime as per the requirements.
- These tanks can also be used as a storage reservoir for storing liquid petroleum and other liquids.
Types of panel tanks
- Round panel tanks
- Square panel tanks
- Damper tanks
- Cylindrical panel tanks
- Flexible base panel tanks
- Rigid base panel tanks
The design of the panel tank should be made using mathematical calculations and formulas with consultation with engineers. Further manufacturing should be done in compliance with the requirements of the users.

Here is a link to our design proposal: MDProposalPCER
Without Greg’s bag we have not been able to start sieving sand for the biosand filter, but we have still been keeping busy. Our days 6/20-6/24 have been filled with a wide variety of activities related to the building of the school and the water systems in particular. For the building we have been digging holes and trenches, mixing concrete and laying bricks. The worksite is coming along nicely. Our water systems work during the day has included constructing a ceramic water filter to use until the biosand filter is functional, creating a temporary wastewater system to be used for the existing house until it can be integrated with the school’s system, and cleaning up the old waste system, which is located on the site of one of the buildings. Other work done at night has included calculating flowrates, and updating designs for the well, storage tank, and wastewater system. Hopefully Greg’s bags will come soon so we can get going on the biosand filter. Here are some pictures of our work so far. More pictures documenting the progress of building the school can be found on the PCER blog (link on the left).
Over the past few weeks we have made progress on the waste water system. Recently, in cooperation with the architects, we have changed the designs to better fit the need and simplicity of the waste water design. The changes include making the path to the respective septic tanks (one for each phase,) as short and as straight as possible. This involves locating the toilets on a direct route to the septic, whereas the grey water from the showers and sinks will have elbows and junctions (the necessity for these exits to be straight isn’t as pressing.) Each septic will have somewhere around 15-20 people using it, so we originally specified the septic to be 10 feet long 4.5 feet wide and 6 feet deep. This was done, and ready for brick laying, but the Pedreiro (construction manager) came and made a circular motion- so our design changed to a circle. Now our septic holes are close to 3 meters in diameter and about 2 meters deep – a gross overestimation of the demand on either system. Regardless, we will be finishing them. The interesting thing about the design of the septic tanks in the region is that they act both as a septic and leach field in one. After the Pedreiro told us of the circle, he also showed us the brick layout for the walls. How they do it here is they stagger the bricks so that the liquid can leach into the soil after the solid particulates have settled to the bottom. This seems like a rather ingenious method of treating their waste because of the composition of the soil. The layers of earth before the groundwater consist of sand and clay – which act as a natural filter and purifier before the liquids reach the aquifer in the ground below. We will be implementing this local methodology. An area for future research is the effectiveness of this design compared to the more standard separation of the two.
After a week without the baggage which had our designs and tools for the slow sand filter, that part of our design is a week behind schedule. Sadly, we may be hard pressed to fully implement our initial design. Today we will be looking for materials – of which include more sieves and fine sand – that will hopefully speed up the completion of the filter.
Positives within the past week is that we have put in our hand pump, and have been pumping away, clearing out the stagnant water from the well and seeing if the well will hold enough water for our demand levels and if it has clean water. The most likely long term source of water will be tapping into the jaguar lodge across the street – which is also servicing a house already on site. Or another option is to drill a new, more modern well.
More to come on the design system when we return to the U.S.

Passage due Gois France:
The Passage du Gois (also known historically as Gôa) is a natural, periodically flooded passage leading to the island of Noirmoutier in France. It is located between Île de Noirmoutier and Beauvoir-sur-Mer, in the department of Vendée. It is flooded twice a day by the high tide. The length of this track is 4.125 km.
This doesn’t seem bad right? How about below, twice a day above the road is completely vanish into water. And if you are unlucky and missed the crossing time you are going to vanish as well.


Agriculture has come a long way from its humble beginnings, evolving into a sophisticated industry that blends tradition with cutting-edge technology. One of the crucial elements in modern agriculture is the design and construction of innovative agricultural buildings. These structures not only provide shelter for crops, livestock, and equipment but also play a vital role in optimizing efficiency, sustainability, and productivity within the agricultural landscape.

Agricultural buildings are more than just structures; they are integral components of a thriving and sustainable agricultural sector. Through innovation, design, and a commitment to environmental stewardship, the industry is shaping the future of farming. As technology continues to advance and our understanding of sustainable practices deepens, the evolution of agricultural buildings will play a pivotal role in feeding a growing global population while preserving our planet’s resources.
In the dynamic world of agriculture, the design of buildings is a tangible representation of the industry’s resilience and adaptability. From traditional barns to state-of-the-art smart structures, agricultural buildings embody the spirit of progress, ensuring that farming remains a cornerstone of our society while embracing the challenges and opportunities of the future.


Traffic engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to achieve the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on roadways. It focuses mainly on research for safe and efficient traffic flow, such as road geometry, sidewalks and crosswalks, segregated cycle facilities,shared lane marking, traffic signs, road surface markings and traffic lights. Traffic engineering deals with the functional part of transportation system, except the infrastructures provided.
Traffic engineering is closely associated with other disciplines:
- Transport engineering
- Pavement engineering
- Bicycle transportation engineering
- Highway engineering
- Transportation planning
- Urban planning
- Human factors engineering.
Typical traffic engineering projects involve designing traffic control device installations and modifications, including traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings. However, traffic engineers also consider traffic safety by investigating locations with high crash rates and developing countermeasures to reduce crashes. Traffic flow management can be short-term (preparing construction traffic control plans, including detour plans for pedestrian and vehicular traffic) or long-term (estimating the impacts of proposed commercial developments on traffic patterns). Increasingly, traffic problems are being addressed by developing systems for intelligent transportation systems, often in conjunction with other engineering disciplines, such as computer engineering and electrical engineering.

The new capital city was planned by Chief Architect H.K. Mewada, educated at Cornell University, and his assistant Prakash M Apte. Both Mewada, and Apte had worked as trainees under legendary architect Le Corbusier in the Chandigarh Project in the 1950s. Gandhinagar’s streets are numbered, and have cross streets named for letters of the Gujarati alphabet (e.g., “k”, “kh”, “g”, “gh”, “ch”, “chh”, “j”). All streets cross every kilometer, and at every crossing traffic circles decrease the speed of traffic.
The city has developed in four distinct phases:
- Phase 1: After the city’s infrastructure was completed in 1970, and until 1980, it was known as ‘Gandhian City,’ since it was based on Gandhi’s concepts and principles.
- Phase 2: Between 1980 and 1990, a time of low pollution, it was known as ‘Unpolluted City’.
- Phase 3: After 1990, many trees were planted, and the city became the ‘Green City.’
- Phase 4: In 2002, Gujarat’s Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, proposed a new, triple focus for the city: it should be green, It should use solar energy, and It should be cosmopolitan.
The new city is linked with Ahmedabad on the south by a direct road, having a straight alignment and a right of way 91.44 meters (300.0 ft) wide between the proposed capital and the railway station of Khodiar about ten kilometres (six miles) to the west.
This road was proposed to be extended further to the south to join the State Highway at Surkhej near Ahmedabad. A road over bridge was to be provided at the crossing of this road and the Ahmedabad Delhi metre gauge line at Khodiar. Thus, traffic from Saurashtra area could directly come to Gandhinagar without going through Ahmedabad. The road link to Khodiar also connects the new city with Ahmedabad-Mount Abu State Highway. The site is connected to National Highway No, 8 (Bombay-Delhi) across the river by 5 km (3.1 mi) link road.
The alignment of the proposed extension of the broad-gauge railway from Sabarmati to the Fertiliser Complex at Saij near Kalol and also to the thermal power station installed in the industrial area in Gandhinagar, was to run along the western boundary of the township. It was proposed to have a railway station in the center along the western boundary of the township. The railway line was to run under proposed road over bridge at Khodiar and where it crosses the Ahmedabad-Kalol State Highway, there was to be a road over bridge. The new city was thus very well linked by road, rail and air with.all parts of the state and the country.

Georgia Subdivision Developer Creates Hazard by Failing to Post Warning Signs Around Construction Site-JNJ Foundation Specialists Inc. v. Horton Inc
Detours in life can be enlightening; on the road they are just annoying. For lost souls wandering around without GPS or built-in navigation, the accurate placement of detour signs is imperative to reaching a destination. Drivers rely on signs to point them toward streets, away from exits, and warn them of danger. Indeed, we trust the well-appointed orange arrow to shepherd us along “the road less traveled by.” We follow orange flares to merge nervously into one-lane traffic and delay our commute home. Despite the distraction, warning signs keep us safe. It is no wonder that without them, we are like lost sheep being thrown to the wolves.
Georgia resident Gary Hall would have chosen a different route had he known his traffic lane would be closed to accommodate construction. Hall was driving down Pleasant Hill Road near a construction site when he saw barrels in the middle of his lane. A cement truck was parked further down the roadway. He stopped his car to change lanes, but was rear-ended by another vehicle. Hall sued subdivision developer D.R. Horton, Inc. (Horton), alleging it negligently operated the construction site and failed to post warning signs around the cement-pouring. He argued Horton’s failure to adequately mark and close the lane created a hazard on the roadway. Horton filed a cross-complaint against JNJ Foundation Specialists, Inc. (JNJ), the contractor hired to pour sidewalks for the subdivision, alleging it refused to defend and indemnify Horton for JNJ’s negligent conduct. The trial court ruled in Horton’s favor. JNJ appealed, arguing there was no evidence that it placed construction barrels in the roadway or caused Hall’s injury. The appellate court affirmed the trial court’s ruling.
The evidence showed that on the day of the collision, JNJ was pouring sidewalks at the subdivision along Pleasant Hill Road. A JNJ employee had previously requested that a lane be closed because JNJ’s concrete supplier was on its way. The employee was told he could not close a lane without a permit, which would take days to obtain, so he used construction barrels instead. Here, the construction barrels obstructed the roadway, proximately causing Hall’s injury.
JNJ’s contract with Horton required JNJ to defend and indemnify Horton for any claims “arising out of” its work. Under Georgia law, the indemnity provision did not require a legal finding that JNJ directly caused Hall’s injury, but rather that there was some causal connection between the two. Here, Hall alleged Horton and JNJ created a hazard by failing to post signs warning of the lane closure. His claim for negligence was connected to the contractor’s job pouring sidewalks and thus “arose out of” JNJ’s work. As such, JNJ was liable to Horton for failing to post warning signs adequately marking the lane closure.
If you were rear-ended or otherwise injured because of inadequate road signs, you may be entitled to compensation. Developers and contractors have a duty to warn drivers of dangerous conditions, especially around construction sites. Owners and occupiers of land have a duty to properly close off lanes, especially where they create the hazard by parking trucks and leaving equipment on the roadway. Stokes & Kopitsky has recovered over $100 million in verdicts and settlements for victims who have been injured as a result of improper road or warning signs.

Standing seam is the most popular style of metal roofing – both in residential and commercial building industries. It has also been the longest installed type of metal roofs, dating back to when all metal roofing was hand-made from sheet metal – usually copper or tin.
Today, standing seam metal roofs are commercially manufactured by tens if not hundreds of big metal roofing manufacturers, and thousands of smaller roofing outfits with their own sheet metal shops and standing seam rolling machines. Here is how standing seam metal roof is manufactured.
We recently added a complete installation guide that walks you through preparing a roof deck and installing roofing underlayment, installing eave, first metal roof panel with gable / rake trim, field panels, sidewall flashing, valley flashing and installation of hip & ridge caps, and includes a hands on metal roof installation video.
Most standing seam metal roofs installed today are 24 gauge steel or .032 aluminum panels with high quality Kynar 500 paint coating, baked on in seven layers (including primer) in the controlled factory environment when the metal coil is manufactured. After the coil is slit to the right size, it is delivered to the “manufacturer” of metal roofs, and is roll-formed into pre-measured length panels, either on site or in the metal shop, and then delivered to the job site, where they are installed on the roof.
Most common profiles of standing seam roofs are 16″ panels – either snap-lock or mechanical lock profiles. Snap lock allows the metal roofing contractors to quickly install the roof by snapping one panel into receiving the lock of the previous panel.
Snap lock panels can be installed from left-to-right or vice versa, or even from a center starter panel in either direction.
Standing seam metal roof installation
Standing seam metal roofs should be installed over a properly prepared roof deck. The wooden substrate below should be even, dry, and be at least 1/2 inch thick. Standing seam roofs can also be installed over purlins (horizontally running 1×3 or 1×4 furring strips) or over boars. It is also recommended to install standing seam metal roofing over a roofing underlayment such as roofing felt (tar paper) or synthetic underlayment. It is recommended that synthetic underlayment is breathable, so it does not trap moisture, which can cause the roof deck to rot and mold / mildew can form, causing expensive repairs. Ice $ Water shield is also not recommended for use under a metal roof, as it is first – not serving it’s main purpose, since metal roofs inherently prevent ice dams, and Ice and Water will also trap moisture.
In Norther New England states (NH, VT and ME), it is a common practice to install a standing seam metal roof over asphalt shingles. This is done mainly for economical reasons, as roof tear off and disposal can be very costly. This practice should also be avoided however. Two reasons for this are:
- Standing seam panels will expand and contract with temperature changes, while the under-pan will be rubbing against the stone-coated surface of asphalt shingles, which will strip off the paint and galvanizing layer of the metal roofing panels and cause rust.
- When snow sits on a metal roof, it compresses the panels against the asphalt shingles, creates horizontal dents on the panels, which make your new roof look very unattractive or should I even say – ugly. This is also referred to as “telegraphing effect”, when rows of shingles show through the metal roof.
A standing seam metal roof is attached to the roof deck using fasteners (usually 1 inch wide head screws) and either clips or screws / nails installed through a nailing strip, which can be formed when the metal panels are produced.
Nailing strip panels are faster and cheaper to install, but should not be used on panel runs over 15 feet, as expansion and contraction will cause buckling and “oil-canning” in the panels. Oil canning is a term used to refer to ugly bubbles that you can sometimes see on a standing seam roof. To prevent oil canning, you can have your standing seam metal roof made with special low profile stiffening ribs that are indented into the pan of each panel, during manufacturing process.
Another way to avoid oil canning is to install the standing seam roof using clips (this reduces the tension on the panel) and to install panels in mild weather, so it’s not too expanded or contracted at the time of installation, and of-course you need a more or less even roof deck surface.
Pros and Cons of standing seam
While standing seam roofs are very popular, they are rather difficult to install on complicated roofs, with many dormers, skylights, valleys, etc. They can be very pricey compared to other metal roofing materials such as metal shingles, shakes and stone coated steel roofing profiles. The difference in cost is mainly due to the difficulty of installation, high waste factor, and higher material cost for quality metal roofing panels (not the 29 ga cheap steel, acrylic-coated metal roof normally installed by low-ball metal roofing companies).
Because of the design of architectural standing seam metal roof, it is also very difficult to install a roof penetration flashing for sky-lights and chimneys, as there is no one good flashing method, and you rely mainly on caulking, when it comes to water-tightness. All of these factors complicate the installation process of standing seam metal roofing and make the cost go up.
Standing seam on low slope roofs.
A standing seam metal roof can be installed on a low slope roof of no less than 1 in 12 pitch. It must be a mechanical lock standing seam system, and is usually a structural standing seam, installed on space metal buildings.
The mechanical lock profile used on low-sloped metal roofs ensures that water does not penetrate through the lock between panels, if it sits above the lock. Structural standing seam is often made of cheaper steel with low quality galvanic coating, and can begin to rust within 10-15 years, and will require a roof repair, as well as fastener re-tightening.
Metal roofs should never be installed on dead flat roofs as it is not designed to withstand ponding water and all joints on a metal roof are sealed using some type of caulking. Even the copper panels with soldered seams have proven to leak on dead zero slope roofs. Most interlocking shingles profiles can only be used on roofs with at least 3 pitch. As for standing seam, it can be used on very low slope roofs, but you must use the mechanical lock profile to prevent roof leaks.
