I am writing this letter in support of the work performed in the Gurnee District 56 schools by ESSCOE during my tenure as superintendent. I worked with them on a number of engineering projects, and in every case have been totally pleased with their work. Most recently, I worked with them on an extensive development project building a new elementary school and district office building, along with remodelling the existing building.
They have always offered competitive pricing and “out of the box” solutions to complicated design systems. They understand our budgetary parameters and provide affordable solutions that align within those limits. ESSCOE offers added value to projects without increasing costs. Mr. Todd Keppy and Mr. Jack Hamilton are great friends of this school district and have greatly improved the educational environment established here. I highly recommend them as quality people and valuable partners to the taxpayers of this community.

Superintendent of Schools
As the authority having jurisdiction and quality assurance responsibility for Naval Facilities in the Midwest Region, my engineering team has worked with ESSCOE on numerous projects at Naval Station Great Lakes. In the past, ESSCOE has provided design and consultation services related to fire alarm and mass notification systems. Additionally, ESSCOE is part of a team that was awarded a Naval Facilities Engineering Command Midwest (NAVFAC MW) Region Fire Protection Multiple Award Construction contract.
ESSCOE has grown into a leader for consultation, analysis, design, implementation, and technical services for fire alarm and mass notification systems. ESSCOE’s leadership shows by their knowledge in Department of Defense (DoD) fire alarm and mass notification systems criteria, analysis, and documentation, which has led to several successful installations at Naval Station Great Lakes. Due to their knowledge of DoD criteria, documentation analysis, the time normally expended by NAVFAC Fire Protection Engineers to address issues, review designs, and test for approval has been greatly reduced.
ESSCOE has and continues to partner with NAVFAC MW to collaborate early in the drawing preparation stage and consults with the fire protection engineer regarding possible challenges or issues that may arise. ESSCOE can be relied upon to provide relevant and competent engineering design services as well as technicians who are knowledgeable and responsive to the Navy’s schedule. ESSCOE has worked on projects that present acoustical characteristics of new berthing or training facilities. Two mass notification projects that proved challenging were the renovation of historic Building 3 and the construction of New Senior Enlisted Barracks. In the Building 3 project, the design and installation challenges were to provide a functional system and maintain the historic interior. Based on ESSCOE’s engineering and design proficiency, all areas tested compliant. Similarly, due to ESSCOE’s knowledge of National Fire Protection Association codes and standards, the acoustically challenging berthing areas of the New Senior Enlisted barracks were analyzed, designed, installed, and tested successfully for compliance.
One of ESSCOE’s greatest strengths is to provide answers to technical issues. ESSCOE does not hesitate to consult with outside technical experts to provide the highest quality systems required by the DoD. ESSCOE was the first installer of mass notification systems in the Midwest Region to implement computer based acoustical modeling for design purposes. Additionally, ESSCOE was instrumental in coordinating outside resources to support the NAVFAC Fire Protection Engineer’s understanding of acoustical challenges associated with mass notification systems. ESSCOE continues to provide a high level of consultation and design services, technically qualified service personnel, and customer service that are unmatched in the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Midwest Region.

CBZG’s Camp Porter Barracks and Infrastructure project is in its final stages and expected to be complete by year’s end. At $216 million this was a substantial project for Clark Construction Group and our Joint Venture partners, culminating a 12 year, $770 million dollar recapitalization program for NAVFAC Midwest and the Recruit Training Command at Naval Station Great Lakes. This letter is to congratulate your team on an outstanding performance on the Camp Porter Barracks and Infrastructure project, and to formally announce our nomination of Esscoe, LLC for the US Administration’s Small Business Subcontractor of the Year Award.
The Esscoe team exceeded the project’s design program requirements and provided the Navy with high-quality fire alarm, mass notification, public announcement, and physical security systems equipment. The Camp Porter Barracks and Infrastructure project included the construction of six new facilities to support the needs of the sole Recruit Training Command for the US Navy. These facilities included three Recruit Immersive Queuing Corridor, and an 800 car parking facility above grade. Esscoe’s efforts on the three barracks buildings alone required the installation of over 10,000 fire alarm devices covering nearly 600,000 square feet of space, ultimately being occupied by over 3,000 recruits. The first phase of the barracks construction was particularly challenging as one of the very first Navy facilities to meet upgraded mass notification system standards. The Visitor Center and Immersive Queuing Corridor space also implemented complex technical systems supporting the gateway that thousands of guests pass through every week to observe recruits graduating from basic training.
The complexity of the Camp Porter project combined with a demanding schedule without any impact from the ongoing recruit training required substantial effort. Beginning with assistance during the initial design phase of the project, through the extensive commissioning process with the Navy’s team during the Red Zone stage, Esscoe provided outstanding service. Esscoe’s ability to successfully complete the large complex project, which would challenge any “large business” venture, is a true testament displaying their strength and dedication to build quality life safety, security and communication systems. Again, congratulations on your team’s performance and success. We look forward to continuing a lasting partnership on future projects.

The oblique cavalier drawing projection is a popular method of creating technical drawings. It is constructed in Oblique Projection, with one axis horizontal, another vertical, while the third axis is at 45° to the horizontal line. This type of drawing is particularly useful for creating detailed representations of objects, buildings, and mechanical parts. The oblique cavalier view provides a realistic and accurate representation of the object from multiple angles, making it a popular choice for architects, engineers, and designers.
Understanding Oblique Cavalier Projection
Oblique Cavalier Projection is a type of drawing constructed in Oblique Projection. It is a 3D technique where one axis is horizontal, another is vertical, while the third axis is at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal line. This projection technique is commonly used in engineering, design, and architecture to represent 3D objects in 2D space.
There are different types of projection techniques such as isometric, orthographic, and oblique projection that can be used to represent 3D objects on a 2D plane. However, the oblique cavalier projection is perhaps the simplest type of projection technique and is widely used due to its ease of construction and to represent objects accurately.
The mathematical formula for oblique cavalier projection is represented as:
x′ = x + L/2 * cos(alpha)
y′ = y + L/2 * sin(alpha)
z′ = z
Where x, y, and z represent the coordinates of the object in 3D space, x’, y’, and z’ represent the coordinates of the object in 2D space, L represents the length and alpha represents the angle of rotation.
Orientation of objects in the oblique projection is particularly important. Each object is positioned so that the front view of the object is parallel to the drawing surface. Similarly, the top view is perpendicular to the front view, while the side view is at an angle of 45 degrees from both the front and top views.
Drawing Oblique Cavalier Projection
Oblique cavalier projection is a type of drawing constructed in oblique projection, where one axis is horizontal, the other is vertical, and the third axis is at a 45° angle to the horizontal line. Here is a step-by-step process for drawing oblique cavalier projection:
- Draw a horizontal line and label it as the ground line. This line will be used as the base for the drawing.
- Draw a vertical line to show the height of the object. Label it with the actual dimension.
- Choose a suitable angle for the oblique cavalier projection, generally 45°. Draw a line at this angle from the top of the vertical line to the right.
- Determine the depth of the object and draw another line at the same angle as the previous line to depict the depth. Label it with the actual dimension.
- Connect the endpoints of the two diagonal lines to create the back of the object.
- Draw a perpendicular line from the front corners of the top edge to the ground line. This will depict the front of the object. Connect the corners of the front and back edges to complete the drawing.
To dimension an oblique cavalier projection, label the object’s dimensions with precise values based on the scale used.
Benefits of Oblique Cavalier Projection
Oblique cavalier projection is a type of drawing constructed in oblique projection, with one horizontal and one vertical axis, and the third axis at a 45° angle to the horizontal line. Here are some benefits of using oblique cavalier projection over other projection techniques:
- Accurate shape representation: Oblique cavalier projection can present the exact shape of one face of an object, allowing for more accurate measurements compared to other projection methods.
- Effective for mechanical viewing: This type of drawing is better suited for mechanical viewing, wherein specific details of an object need to be understood in a clear and precise manner.
- Easier to create than axonometric projections: Compared to axonometric projections, oblique cavalier projection is easier to create, and hence can save time and effort.
Given the benefits of using oblique cavalier projection, it is commonly used in engineering, architecture, and other related fields.
Examples of Oblique Cavalier Projection
Oblique cavalier projection is a type of oblique projection commonly used in technical drawing, illustrations, and even in video games. Here are some real-life examples of oblique cavalier projection:
Oblique cavalier projection is commonly used in technical drawings to present the exact shape of one face of an object. It is better for elliptical shapes than axonometric projections and is best for “mechanical” viewing. In mechanical engineering, oblique cavalier projection is used to create machine designs and blueprints.
Other than technical drawings, illustrations also use oblique cavalier projection. A famous example is EarthBound, a video game released in 1994, which uses oblique projection to create a unique art style. The game is known for its quirky and comedic take on RPG genre and is fondly remembered for its graphics and storyline.
Oblique cavalier projection is commonly used in video games preceding the advent of 3D games. Famous examples include SimCity, Ultima VII, Ultima Online, Paperboy, and more recently, Tibia. Oblique projection is a popular choice for its simplicity and user-friendliness in creating 2D games. SimCity, for instance, uses oblique projection to create a city-building game with its iconic gameplay and visual style.
Overall, oblique cavalier projection is a versatile projection method used in various fields for its simplicity, accuracy, and unique visual style.
Tips for Achieving Perfect Oblique Cavalier Projection
Oblique cavalier projection is a drawing technique that uses Oblique Projection to construct a three-dimensional object with vertical, horizontal, and a 45-degree angled axis. Here are some useful tips to achieve precise and accurate oblique cavalier projection:
1. Draw the Front or Side View First
Start by drawing the front or side view of the object you want to illustrate then, use projection lines to create the oblique cavalier drawing. If you start without a clear understanding of the object’s front and side view, you’ll likely end up with disproportionate dimensions and inaccurate measurements.
2. Make Projections at a 45-Degree Angle
All backward projections must be drawn at a 45-degree angle to achieve perfect and precise oblique cavalier projection. To accomplish this, ensure your compass and ruler are always set at a 45-degree angle.
3. Use Measurements Drawn Backwards That Are Half the Size
Another essential tip when achieving oblique cavalier projection is to always draw measurements backward that are half the size. This way, you can achieve accurate and proportional dimensions while preserving the object’s original shape.
4. Ensure Careful Choice of Projection Plane Position
Projection planes are often at an oblique angle to the projection plane in oblique cavalier projection. It’s crucial to be mindful of the projection plane’s position to avoid distorted shapes, particularly circles that may end up looking like ellipses.
5. Practice, Practice, Practice
Like most skills, precision and accuracy in oblique cavalier projections require practice. So take your time to learn the techniques and tips outlined above, practice drawing everyday objects, and, most importantly, learn from your mistakes.
Challenges of Oblique Cavalier Projection
Oblique cavalier projection drawing technique is commonly used in technical drawing but can present challenges that need to be considered in order to produce an accurate representation of the object being drawn. Some common challenges include:
Distortion of Object Characteristics
When using oblique cavalier projection, objects can appear distorted if the projection plane is not positioned correctly. Circles, for example, can appear as ellipses. To overcome this challenge, it is important to carefully choose the position of the projection plane and ensure that all lines drawn backwards are at 45 degrees.
Accuracy of Measurements
Relying on backwards measurements can result in inaccurate or incorrect dimensions of the object being drawn. To overcome this challenge, take the necessary precaution such as drawing half of the measurement backwards and ensuring that the measurement is taken from the front or side view of the object.
Difficulties in Creating Elliptical Objects
Oblique cavalier projection is not ideal for elliptical shapes. Creating an accurate representation of such shapes can be very challenging. However, to overcome this challenge, a more specialized drawing technique may be required.
Oblique cavalier projection techniques are commonly used in technical drawing and illustration, as well as in video games. The two commonly used oblique projections are the cavalier and cabinet projections, with the cavalier projection being useful for preserving the lengths of lines and having lines of sight at 45 degrees. Oblique projection is a simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing two-dimensional (2D) images of three-dimensional (3D) objects. By following the three main rules for constructing oblique projection, one can accurately depict the shape and measurements of an object in a 2D image.

- Goal: Protect Both Goleta Beach and Goleta Beach Park
- Year Started: 2000
- Client: Surfrider Foundation
In 2000, intense winter storms pulled sand off Goleta Beach leading to erosion of the grassy lawn and a portion of the parking lot at Goleta Beach Park. In response, Santa Barbara County installed an emergency rock revetment – a line of boulders to try to limit damage to the park. Once the winter storms subsided, EDC urged the County to remove the rock seawall at the west end of the beach because such structures merely shift erosion to other beaches further down the coast. Rock seawalls are also very dangerous and limit the public’s ability to safely access the beach. The County listened to EDC and removed the rock seawall. However, two years later the County installed another emergency rock revetment, but this time they did not remove it once the emergency ended.
Due to these concerns, in 2009 the California Coastal Commission directed the County to come up with a plan for Goleta Beach that does not include hard structures such as the rock revetments. EDC and Surfrider Foundation worked hard to encourage the County to develop a plan that would remove the unpermitted seawall at the west end of the park in order to save the sandy beach that thousands of people enjoy every year. We also pointed out that some parking spaces could be relocated out of harm’s way to other areas in the park, the bike path could be moved to higher ground and rebuilt to be wider and safer, and the sewer line could be moved away from the beach to avoid future sewage spills. We supported leaving the rock seawall protecting the restaurant.
The County ultimately opted to take no action, leaving the entire rock seawall in place, and we now await a hearing before the Coastal Commission.

This Pipe Reticulation System is a new concept in the area of pest control treatment for control of termites, successfully developed by us and a very cost effective infrastructure installation for the first time in India, for the permanent Solution of termites.
It is a unique method of filling the pesticides through the already laid pipelines with the help of emitters, which will avoid entry of termites in the structure. This pipe is laid during construction of house before the flooring. The substitute, which is available today, is not stable in the soil for longer period. So, through years of continued Attempts, inventions and experiments we have been able to successfully develop this infrastructure, which will effectively prevent penetration of termites. Although we are installing it below the floor level, we can plan it at the plinth level by installing LLDP (Low Linear Density Polythene) pipes on the Joints of the internal wall. Same kind of treatment will be done to the external perimeter also. The job, which will be completed at flooring level, will be tested in the presence of your representative and the duly completed infrastructure will be handed over to you by creating The Refilling Points, which could be opened, used for periodic filling of pesticides in future. Infrastructure Installation is a very cost effective method of treatment and is a new milestone revolutionary concept as far as anti-termite treatment is concerned.

Strathbogie Shire Council has begun early construction works at a number of locations after significant infrastructure damage was identified following last year’s floods.
More than 221mm of rain fell across the region with Strathbogie and Euroa coping the worst of the downpour on December 2 and 3.
The council announced in the following week in December the damage to the shire’s roads, bridges and infrastructure amounted to more than $5million.
A council spokesperson said this week the early works were focused on addressing identified risks to community safety, improving access to properties and to support business activities.
‘‘Construction activity will continue to build over the coming weeks as both major and minor works packages are awarded across the shire,’’ the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the council had appointed project manager GMR Engineering Services, which would survey and design engineered solutions for other significant flood damage to be tendered during March this year.
Mount Wombat ward Cr Alistair Thomson said residents impacted by the infrastructure damage would be relieved to see remedial work getting under way.
‘‘Council staff have undertaken a detailed examination of shire assets, but if residents are aware of flood-damaged infrastructure, and are unsure if the problem has been identified, it is important that it is reported now, before the disaster relief and recovery program expires,’’ he said.
The spokesperson said works undertaken under the National Disaster Relief and Recovery Assistance package required the council to follow strict guidelines which included only undertaking works to restore assets to their pre-existing condition.
‘‘Work outside of the guidelines will come under council’s ongoing asset management program and may not proceed until a later date,’’ the spokesperson said.
Peak construction can be expected to take place between March and June this year, with the majority of works to be completed by the end of June.
‘‘Council thanks residents for their patience during the period when assessment was undertaken and disaster relief funding secured,’’ Cr Thomson said.

Our roof inspection goal: Empower the building owner with knowledge and a written report that can be their tile roof “owner’s manual” in the future.
When buying a home with a clay or concrete tile roof you want to know the condition and potential repair and maintenance needs of the existing roof. In addition, what type of ongoing maintenance will be most effective for prolonging the look and life of the tile? Home Inspectors are typically limited to looking at the surface of the tile, which has often been cleaned in preparation for the sale. Functional flashing, accessories and underlayment are hidden beneath the tile surface. That is why your home inspector or the American Society of Home Inspectors may refer you to us.
When gathering proposals for a major roof repair or home remodel, differences in the proposals from various roofing contractors can be confusing. Because we restrict our services to inspections, consulting and training, we can provide information and insight to you with no conflict of interest.
Our tile roof inspection report will include information about the tile roofing material, the flashing installation methods used, material degradation if identified, and detailed recommendations for repair work, if needed. In addition we will provide recommendations for ongoing maintenance for the best and most efficient care of the roof. We will also help you find the right roofing contractor to do the work.
We have experience in the following areas:
- Tile roofing inspections for homeowners and homebuyers.
- Tile roofing project management for contractors
- Advice, bid evaluation & recommendations for home owners
- Tile Roof Inspections for manufacturers
- Roof Inspections for property management companies

In a significant development, the Goa government has unveiled the first AI signals at Merces Junction, a bustling intersection in North Goa. This innovative initiative aims to revolutionize traffic management in the state while also enhancing security measures.
During the launch event, Pramod Sawant (Chief Minister of Goa) emphasized that AI signals would not only facilitate traffic management but also play a crucial role in ensuring public safety.
He stated, “In the future, these AI signals will support the police in terms of security. We can identify and apprehend traffic violators and other offenders through this system.”
The AI signal system has been developed and implemented by Beltech AI, and it offers multiple benefits for traffic police, including real-time monitoring, e-challan issuance, and enhanced security assistance.
Sawant further announced that the system is being piloted at the Merces junction on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis, with plans to expand its implementation across Goa in collaboration with private investors. The Chief Minister urged citizens to adhere to traffic rules, highlighting the importance of reducing road accidents and associated fatalities.
Nilesh Cabral (Minister of the Public Works Department of Goa) explained that the AI signal technology would effectively monitor traffic movement from all directions, detecting vehicles and adjusting signals accordingly. The ultimate goal is to install AI signals throughout the state, enabling seamless coordination and optimization of traffic flow at the junction, city, and state levels.
The AI system possesses advanced capabilities, including the ability to identify emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks, ensuring prompt clearance of roads. Additionally, it can identify vehicles that violate traffic regulations, automatically issuing e-challans to offenders, thereby promoting road safety for all commuters.
By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, Goa aims to significantly enhance its traffic management infrastructure and create a safer and more efficient road network for its residents and visitors.


ROOFERS, WATERPROOFERS AND ALLIED WORKERS – Local 81
Application deadline: Monday – Friday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Call for an appointment)
Apprenticeship programs sponsored jointly by labor and management on the local union level supply employers the highly skilled workers who apply the quality roofing and waterproofing systems that keep America’s buildings dry. Apprentices learn their craft by training on the job under proper supervision and by studying technical subjects related to the roofing trade at the training center/apprenticeship school. Once apprentices have learned the practical and technical aspects of the work, they graduate to journeyperson status. Roofing apprenticeship programs generally run for three to five years.
Click here for more detailed information and to apply online.
General Job Description
Union Roofers and Waterproofers work on a variety of types of buildings, protecting those facilities against water intrusion and ultimate damage to the structure and its contents. Roofing in the commercial and industrial sector is generally of the built-up type or the single-ply category. In built-up roofing, layers or plies of felt are set in hot bitumen over insulation boards to form a waterproof membrane. An aggregate may be imbedded in a final bitumen coat to protect the membrane from ultraviolet radiation of the sun and other environmental hazards.
Single-ply roofing encompasses all of the newer plastic, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), rubber (EPDM) and other elasto-plastic type membranes that have their seams welded by solvent or hot air or glued with contact adhesive to form a monolithic waterproofing membrane. These systems may have a stone or rock or paver block ballast installed over them or they may be partially or totally adhered to the substrate. These systems are also installed over roof insulation boards.
A separate category of roofing is the modified bitumen system that may be applied with hot bitumen or torched-on with high intensity propane burners.
Another area of roofing is the residential type. Although these applications can also be done in the commercial and industrial sector as well. They include composition shingles, slate, tile and metal roofs.
Waterproofing is a specialty aspect of the roofing trade but is no less important than a roof in protecting a building against moisture intrusion. Waterproofing can be below grade, which is usually foundation work. It can also be done on plaza decks, parking garage floors and other sections of a building where water or moisture protection is crucial. Materials used in waterproofing are generally of the same type used in roofing, although there are many specialty application materials that may be specified for this type of work.
Who To Contact:
You can apply for apprenticeship by contacting the Roofers and Waterproofers local union in your area. You can also go to “Become a Member,” complete the information form, and click on submit. Program sponsors are selective, and qualifications vary depending on location. Sponsors will look at your educational background, physical and mental capabilities and previous work experience.

Carbon-Negative Asphalt with Kraft Lignin
Press Release by Jay CooneyChief Marketing and Communications Officer, Harsco Environmental
- SteelPhalt has introduced the world’s first carbon-negative steel slag aggregate-based asphalt using lignin binder product made from trees.
CAMP HILL, PA (April, 25th, 2022) – Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC), a global market leader providing environmental solutions, announced Steelphalt, a part of its Harsco Environmental division has launched a carbon-negative asphalt product.
SteelPhalt’s asphalt products use 95% recycled steel slag. Prior steelphalt asphalt products use bitumen to bind the asphalt. Bitumen is an oil-based binder product with a significant carbon footprint.
Steelphalt’s new asphalt product, called SteelSurf ECO+, uses Kraft Lignin-based Lineo®, a renewable bio-based substance, supplied by GautamZenUK in collaboration with Stora Enso, as an alternative to bitumen dramatically reducing the product’s carbon footprint.
“In our journey to become the world’s most sustainable asphalt supplier, this is a huge step forward,” said Julian Smith, SteelPhalt Strategic Growth Director. “This product is an example of what our team’s collective passion for innovation and sustainability can deliver while making the world a greener place.”


Straddling Bus will beat the traffic Jams ?
Straddling Bus is about to make its first test run on the streets of China. The team of Technical Diary brings you all the information you need to know. Read below:
What is Straddling Bus or TEB ?
Straddling Bus or Transit Explore Bus (TEB) is a proposed bus concept by Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Company ( China ). The concept was first unveiled at the 13th Beijing International High-tech Expo in 2010. But the concept was put on hold due to safety concern.
The Straddling bus was selected as a top Transportation invention in the list of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year 2010 by Time Magazine.
On May 22nd at the 19th Beijing International High-Tech Expo (2016), Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co showcased a working model of their bus concept. This time, Chinese Govt. officials praise their efforts and gave the permission for a trail run.
“The biggest advantage is that the bus will save lots of road space. Four other Chinese cities Nanyang, Shenyang, Tianjin and Zhoukou have also signed contracts for the pilot projects involving the construction of hundreds of miles of tracks. We are very positive that the construction will start in late 2016.”
~Mr. Song Youzhou, Project’s chief engineer.
Recommended Post for you: Experts tips to boost Wi-Fi speed.
He also said that “The construction will be done in the timeline one-year. And the cost will be 80% cheaper than the underground train project. We took every step to ensure the safety of the passengers.
“The biggest advantage is that the bus will save lots of road space. And one TEB could replace 40 conventional buses. And vehicles lower than 2 m (6.6 ft) height will be able to pass underneath the bus. And will reduce the traffic jams by 25-30%” He further added.
Mr. Youzhou also told reporters that a prototype will be deployed by the mid of 2016 in Qinhuangdao, which is about 300 km east of Beijing. He further added that the concept bus is capable of carrying around 1,400 passengers. And the bus can run at the speed of 60Km/H (37 mph).
There are some critics of this project as well. Who are against of this project. They are concern about the safety of those vehicles on the road. And also claims that this bus will need straight roads. It is very unlikely in old urban cities. And how the Straddling bus will manage to stay on the ground at the turn.
On those claims, Mr Youzhou said “Guardrails would be constructed between the bus tracks and the car lanes to prevent accidents. The rails would be able to absorb at least 70% of a collision’s impact to reduce damage to the bus and other vehicles. Lanes for the bus would be limited to passenger vehicles no higher than 7.2 ft (2.2 m), and the buses are designed to meet zoning and bridge height regulations in each city.”
He also said, ” The buses are fully capable of staying remain on the ground on the turns even at the speed of 60 km/h. The bus will save up to 860 ton of fuel per year and also reduce 2,640 ton of carbon emission.”

This instructional plan combined Math SOL 1.5a,b and WIDA English Language Development Standards. The lesson includes several activity options. Note: Some images may not appear in the "Overview". To view all images in this instructional plan, click "download" at the bottom of the overview.
Students learn about factors that engineers take into consideration when designing buildings for earthquake-prone regions. Using online resources and simulations available through the Earthquakes Living Lab, students explore the consequences of subsurface ground type and building height on seismic destruction. Working in pairs, students think like engineers to apply what they have learned to sketches of their own building designs intended to withstand strong-magnitude earthquakes. A worksheet serves as a student guide for the activity.
Students learn how engineers characterize earthquakes through seismic data. Then, acting as engineers, they use real-world seismograph data and a tutorial/simulation accessed through the Earthquakes Living Lab to locate earthquake epicenters via triangulation and determine earthquake magnitudes. Student pairs examine seismic waves, S waves and P waves recorded on seismograms, measuring the key S-P interval. Students then determine the maximum S wave amplitudes in order to determine earthquake magnitude, a measure of the amount of energy released. Students consider how engineers might use and implement seismic data in their design work. A worksheet serves as a student guide for the activity.
Students study how geology relates to the frequency of large-magnitude earthquakes in Japan. Using the online resources provided through the Earthquakes Living Lab, students investigate reasons why large earthquakes occur in this region, drawing conclusions from tectonic plate structures and the locations of fault lines. Working in pairs, students explore the 1995 Kobe earthquake, why it happened and the destruction it caused. Students also think like engineers to predict where other earthquakes are likely to occur and what precautions might be taken. A worksheet serves as a student guide for the activity.
Students examine the effects of geology on earthquake magnitudes and how engineers anticipate and prepare for these effects. Using information provided through the Earthquakes Living Lab interface, students investigate how geology, specifically soil type, can amplify the magnitude of earthquakes and their consequences. Students look in-depth at the historical 1906 San Francisco earthquake and its destruction thorough photographs and data. They compare the 1906 California earthquake to another historical earthquake in Kobe, Japan, looking at the geological differences and impacts in the two regions, and learning how engineers, geologists and seismologists work to predict earthquakes and minimize calamity. A worksheet serves as a student guide for the activity.
Students learn the two main methods to measure earthquakes, the Richter Scale and the Mercalli Scale. They make a model of a seismograph a measuring device that records an earthquake on a seismogram. Students also investigate which structural designs are most likely to survive an earthquake. And, they illustrate an informational guide to the Mercalli Scale.
Students learn about water erosion through an experimental process in which small-scale buildings are placed along a simulated riverbank to experience a range of flooding conditions. They learn how soil conditions are important to the stability or failure of civil engineering projects and how a river's turns and bends (curvature, sinuosity) make a difference in the likelihood of erosion. They make model buildings either with a 3D printer or with LEGO® pieces and then see how their designs and riverbank placements are impacted by slow (laminar) and fast (turbulent) water flow over the soil. Students make predictions, observations and conclusions about the stability of their model houses, and develop ideas for how to mitigate damage in civil engineering projects.
In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye. Learners will be surprised to discover the range of sizes in the microscopic world. This activity can be followed up with a second activity, "What's in a microbe?", located on page 3 in the same resource.

Construction sites of larger than 5 acres have been required to apply for a permit for several years now. While there will be some individuals who are not aware of the storm water regulations regarding large development sites, they are expected to be relatively few.
The County expects developers and individuals in this category to follow their permit requirements and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)s. One of the construction permit requirements is for the owner or operator of the site to submit a copy of the Notice of Intent (NOI) to any MS4 with boundaries to the site.
Small construction sites, those sites more than 1 acre but less than 5 acres in size, are now required by the State to follow certain procedures to ensure our waterways are protected and productive for years to come. It is important to note that the regulations are not directed at punishing anyone.
Instead, the regulations are in place to protect the people who use our waterways for recreation and as drinking water sources from harmful pollutants and to ensure our water resources are there for many generations.
It is important to note that these regulations do not exempt someone from filing a development permit with the County. The County is committed to working with individuals in the construction industry. And, with anyone who fits into this category, to assist in understanding and complying with the regulations. Any questions should be directed to Stephen Belknap.
There are many resources available on the internet with information and examples of documents.


Fire- and smoke curtains
Firescreen® is a compact and lightweight fire resistant fire curtain which is easy to install. The compact design reduces the space required for installation and gives architects greater design freedom, meaning that the range of applications is enormous.
In terms of price, Firescreen® is a good alternative for conventional systems such as erecting fire resistant partitions, steel roller shutters or steel fireproof sliding doors.
FIRESCREEN® SMOKE CURTAIN
Smoke and accompanying gases released during a fire are just as dangerous as the fire itself. To prevent spread of smoke in a building smoke curtains are a good solution.


The clever drainage system
MISAPOR Drain-Bags are the perfect all-in-one solution for surface drainage and stabilisation of terrain which is at risk of slipping. The drain-bag system replaces berms, drainage gravel, drainage pipes and shaped parts. It is significantly easier to install, performs better when in use and is always compatible with existing systems. Thanks to its optimal seepage capacity (up to 75 l/s m2), MISAPOR even absorbs significantly more water than a conventional seepage pit.
The MISAPOR drainage system is a very inexpensive and practical alternative and is unique in terms of its effectiveness and easy handling: Simply excavate the pit, insert bubble wrap foil (pit seal) and MISAPOR Drain-Bag before filling in. To make handling even easier, the 2-metre-long drain-bag has connection pieces on both sides to connect the bags to each other reliably.
The MISAPOR Drain-Bag is also suitable for use on rocky ground. MISAPOR foam glass has outstanding insulation properties and provides extremely efficient frost protection. So there is no reason why drain-bags cannot be used in shallow pits.
- Outstanding seepage capacity
- Flexible adaptation to the terrain (no burst pipes possible)
- Low weight, relieves the load on the terrain
- Frost resistant
- Time saving, simple and very fast installation
- Rot-proof and maintenance-free
- Environmentally friendly
- Can be easily combined with other systems

|Quick Facts: Surveying and Mapping Technicians|
Surveying and mapping technicians collect data and make maps of the Earth's surface.
Surveying technicians work outside extensively and can be exposed to all types of weather. Mapping technicians work primarily indoors on computers. Most surveying and mapping technicians work for firms that provide engineering, surveying, and mapping services on a contract basis. Local governments also employ these workers in highway and planning departments.
Surveying technicians usually need a high school diploma. However, mapping technicians often need formal education after high school to study technology applications, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Employment of surveying and mapping technicians is projected to grow 5 percent from 2018 to 2028, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Increased demand for the data from mapping technology requires additional technicians to gather the information.

One year after breaking ground, the Hudson Yards development is beginning to take shape, but it's just one piece to the puzzle of what will be a major transformation of Manhattan's far West Side. NY1's Jon Weinstein filed the following report.
Hudson Yards is a hub of activity these days. For now, it's the largest piece of undeveloped property in Manhattan covering 30th Street to 34th Street, from Tenth Avenue to the West Side Highway. But it is well on its way to undergoing a transformation that is sure to shock many longtime residents.
"Well, they certainly won't recognize this neighborhood, it's going to be so profoundly changed," said Related Hudson Yards President Jay Cross.
The first tower to open on the site will be 10 Hudson Yards, a combination of retail and office space. It will open in 2015 and the most complicated part of construction for the building is already accomplished, building the foundation and the complex lower floors. Now it's about building vertically up to 52 stories.
"We pour the walls, then we build the scaffolding, and we put the floor in and then we go on top of that floor again, pour the walls and put the scaffolding in," said Dean O'Connor, a site carpenter.
Hudson Yards will ultimately have 17 million square feet of commercial and residential space, retail, and a school. It is a big part of the massive makeover on the far West Side but far from the only thing going on. A new section of the High Line which abuts 10 Hudson Yards is set to open next year. The ventilation tower of the 7 train extension can also be seen, which is coming next year too.
"You have Hudson Yards, you have the High Line, a renovated Javits Center, Moynihan Station, it is going to entirely change the West Side of Manhattan," said City Councilman-elect Corey Johnson.
Work is also under way on space for a tunnel being built underneath Hudson Yards to handle increased train traffic in the future. That will be completed by the end of this year. Coming in January, work will begin on the platform to cover the exposed tracks.
"When we start the deck we are effectively building the foundations for the retail complex and the north tower, the retail complex will open in late '17, the north tower will open in late '18, and with that all the public space," Cross said.
Once the first phase is complete construction will begin on the west side of the project which is expected to wrap up in 2024.

With all that’s been happening in the world this year, I can forgive you for temporarily forgetting that there’s a Zootopia land coming to Shanghai Disneyland. It was announced back in January 2019 and we haven’t heard much since.
With the recent reopening of Shanghai Disneyland, we’re able to see a bit more of what’s happening with the construction. While it’s not much at this point, the construction walls are exceptionally adorable!
Zootopia Land Construction Photos
There isn’t much to see at this point, still, but there is a crane. That’s something right? This new Zootopia land is going in the north part of Shanghai Disneyland by the two Winnie the Pooh attractions.
Photos were taken by our Shanghai Explorer, Poppy.
The different sized doors on the walls are my absolute favourite!

BauBuche is laminated veneer lumber made from locally sourced beech manufactured exclusively by Pollmeier in Germany. BauBuche is produced in a completely new, yet highly economical process. Peeled veneer layers of 3mm in thickness are parallel- or cross-laminated and turned into beams, boards, panels and flooring elements.
With its exceptionally high strength BauBuche allows structures with significantly slimmer dimensions, compared to softwood materials. The high surface quality makes BauBuche ideally suited for visible construction elements. And the cost-efficient manufacturing technology places structures using BauBuche at the same price level as conventional softwood structures.
BauBuche Panel & Panel X
In BauBuche Panel, the veneer layers are perpendicular to the surface. It can be used for table-tops and sturdy work surfaces, ceiling and wall cladding, stairs and elegant wood flooring with a special hardness. BauBuche Panels can be machined like solid hardwood or hardwood boards, and their elegant veneer layers make them perfect for exposed timber work. The sanded surfaces are also ideal for further finishing.
Board / Beam BauBuche S
BauBuche S is mainly used in the production of bar-shaped components. For this purpose the boards are cut lengthwise into strips with a cross-section of up to 60 mm width. BauBuche S is currently available for non-visible applications, quality for visible applications on request.
Board BauBuche Q (lead time on request)
BauBuche Q is available including approx. 15% of cross layers. It is mainly used for larger structures such as load-bearing wall elements and as a part of joint components, e.g. hollow box beams or ribbed base plates. The cross layers ensure that even large panels are highly resistant against warping.The cross-layers make sure that even large panels have high resistance against warping.
Beam BauBuche GL70
BauBuche GL70 is made from 40 mm thick BauBuche S laminations, bonded parallel to the grain. Its high strength allows BauBuche GL70 to be used in slender structures for heavy loads and large spans. The side surfaces of BauBuche GL70 show the attractive veneer layers, while the top and bottom show the hardwood surface. BauBuche beams are sanded at the factory, and are ideal for exposed structural elements.
A revolutionary development in wooden floors. BauBuche Flooring by Pollmeier is a natural wooden floor that shows properties which exceed anything that conventional wooden floors, hybrid products or imitations have to offer. With only razor thin glued joints in between the veneer, layers are precisely fit into one another. The interplay of the iridescent tonal values and the calm texture of the beech wood give BauBuche Flooring a unique visual appearance. BauBuche Flooring unites the best properties from two worlds: the aesthetics and the quality of its surface combined with the efficiency of a high-tech material manufactured from beech wood.


This timber framed classroom was built to provide multi-functional space for a local charity. The building is heavily insulated and incorporates warm water underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump. The building is orientated to the south with large glazed elements on the southern side but only minimal glazing to the north – which maximises heat gain from the sun and minimises heat loss to the colder north elevation. A solar control canopy shades the southern side to minimise glare and prevent overheating on sunny days. Bi-folding doors allow the classroom to be opened up onto the adjacent grassed area. A new highway access, drive and parking facilities were also constructed as part of the project.

14 September 2011 – San Fabian, Pangasinan. In the latest development concerning the people’s fight to prevent the further destruction along Bued River brought about by the massive, unregulated and unsystematic quarrying operations in San Fabian, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region I has ordered the “immediate suspension of sand and gravel quarrying operations in Barangay Anonang, San Fabian, Pangasinan.”
Report of the MGB Technical Personnel
The order for the suspension was based on the report from the technical personnel of DENR Mines and Geosciences Bureau submitted to the OIC, Regional Director of DENR, Mr. Carlos A. Tayag. The report was entitled “Ocular Inspection Report Relative to the Reported Riverbank Erosion at Barangay Binday, San Fabian, Pangasinan.”
In his letter to Rev. Fr. Oliver E. Mendoza, Parish Priest, Mr. Carlos A. Tayag informed the former of the suspension order. Attached in the same letter was a letter informing the quarry operators of the suspension order.
“Our technical personnel, who conducted an ocular inspection on September 6, 2011, found there is a looming danger to life and property along the eroding embankment of Barangay Binday. In view thereof, you are hereby ordered to immediately SUSPEND your operations”. The letter was addressed to Mr. Melchor Parayno, Mr. Marlon Eleria, Mr. Josefino de Guzman, Jr., Mr. Joegina Aspurias, permit holders.
Copies of the letter were given to Hon. Amado T. Espino, Jr., Governor of Pangasinan, Hon. Sec. Ramon C. Paje, DENR Secretary, Hon. Irene F Libunao, Mayor of San Fabian and Hon. Leo L. Jasareno, Mines and Geosciences Bureau Director.
The technical team found a “sand bar with approximate measurement of about 1,000 meter long, an average width of around 100 meters and height of about 2 meters … (found) at the mid-portion of the river just lightly downstream of the dam’s cut-off wall east of the reported eroded river embankment at Barangay Binday. The said river feature is believed to have obstructed the flow of water coming from the dam and diverted the same toward the western side of the river scouring and causing erosion of the banks.”
Mound of oversize materials from the quarry areas
The report also mentioned that a “mound of oversize materials from screening/salandra activities were noted stocked on the mid-portion of the river channel along the active quarry areas which may obstruct water flow.”
The report mentioned that the “water turbulence from the large volume of floodwater and strong water current coupled by the presence of the sand bar resulted to the deflection of water to the western embankment of Abenoleng River downstream of Binday Dam causing the undercutting and scouring of the riverbank resulting to the erosion of considerable portions of the farmlands and residential area at Barangay Binday.”
A Looming Danger to Life and Property
The report admits the existence of a “looming danger to life and property along the eroding embankment at Barangay Binday since the conditon will be aggravated further once strong precipitation/flooding occurs.”
Suspension of Quarrying Operations
To arrest further erosion, the report recommended the “immediate suspension of sand and gravel quarrying operations at Barangay Anonang”.
During Typhoon Mina, five houses were washed away by the surging waters and about two hectares were lost, including the irrigation canals that supply water to several barangays. The concrete barangay road connecting from Barangay Binday to Barangay Anonang was cut.
Four other houses were abandoned near the river banks due to imminent danger of collapse.
The report also recommended that immediate dredging of the identified sandbar to the immediate downstream of the Binday Dam cut-off wall … to divert the flow of water at the center and deter erosion on the western river bank.
It further recommended that additional gabion dikes on the scoured area be installed.
It asked that the Memorandum of Agreement signed by sand and gravel permit holder and the LGU of San Fabian dated 24 November 2009 be reviewed and implemented as soon as possible to negate the imminent danger.
The report was signed by Amalia G Menzi, Senior Science Research Specialist, Jose D. Lignes Jr., Senior Geologist, Ruben G. Soriano, Engineer III, Edward M. Henry, Jr., OIC, Environment Section and Roel A. Collado, OIC, Mine Management Division.
