We supply and Install a wide range of on site Wastewater Treatment systems. Give us a call today to discuss your plans and to book your free site visit with our Certified Drainlayer.
What is an Onsite Septic System?
Some properties, generally rural or semi rural properties, are not connected to the Council Sewer System. These properties will require their own Onsite Sewage Treatment system to treat and dispose of all wastewater produced on the property.
Choosing an Onsite Sewerage System
Choosing an Onsite Sewage system for your property can be confusing. There are a number of systems available which all do a great job – this only becomes a problem when you try and choose between them.
Traditional Septic tanks usually consisted of a single treatment chamber (Primary treatment system). Modern, more advanced Secondary sewage systems have two or more chambers and use a combination of filters, microorganisms and oxygen to treat and purify waste water. Whangarei Council now requires the installation of a Secondary treatment system on most properties.
Onsite Sewage Systems do require maintenance and there can be running costs which will differ from system to system. The two most commonly compared costs are the Service Maintenance Costs and Operating Costs.
Regular Servicing – Whangarei Council now requires that property Owners enter into a Service Agreement with the system Supplier (or their agent) for regular service visits. Most onsite systems require an Annual Check up and cost between $150 – $200 each year.
Electrical Supply – Some systems require an electrical connection. This is usually a minimal ongoing cost. For Example: The Duracrete Cleanstream requires a small pump which pumps the liquid sewage to the textile media. This runs for 30 seconds, 4 times an hour. The power to do this costs around 32 cents a day. (Source)
You will need a Wastewater Engineer to calculate the size system that you will need for your property. This report will be needed by Council in order to be granted consent to install the system.
The size of the onsite system will depend on a number factors including: the size of your home, the number of people living in the home, and also the property itself.
If your system isn’t big enough, this could result in surface water getting contaminated with harmful bacteria and other contaminants.
The disposal of wastewater from your Septic system will require an effluent field design. This can consist of soakage fields or specially designed soakage beds. Your Engineer will test and design the fields based on your needs and property.
Depending on the type of soil on your section, your Soakage treatment fields may need to be planted out with specific plants. The job of these effluent plants is to absorb the water released by the system and maintain it’s effectiveness. This is particularly useful in areas where ground has a higher water content or higher clay content.
How Much Does this all Cost?
There is no sugar coating this one. Installing an Onsite Sewer System will cost thousands of dollars and will need to be factored into your building costs. On receipt of your Engineers report and after a site inspection, we can give you a FIXED PRICE Quote for the supply and installation of your onsite sewer system.
Be sure to include the following costs in your calculations:
- Wastewater design fee (this must be done by either a Wastewater Engineer or Environmental Engineer)
- building and resource consent fees
- Annual Maintenance costs
- Planting and mulching of your soakage treatment area (if needed)
Suitable Plants for Effluent Disposal Fields
Your Engineers design will most probably include a list of suitable plants to use in your effluent soakage fields. For more options, here is a list of suitable Plants to use in your Effluent Disposal Fields. Source: Northland Regional Council)

Prior to hire construction devices, you should consider several factors like the sort of machine you'll need and spending budget. The selection of proper construction device depends on the sort of construction work. If you need a device for searching work, you need to hire digging excavator equipment. If you need a machine to move heavy objects, you should utilize the lifter equipment. You can find numerous construction devices online.


Saturation Point: Some North Jersey towns flood often. It'll only get worse without action
When the remnants of Hurricane Ida hit New Jersey with such intensity this summer, claiming the lives of 30 people and causing extensive damage, the degree of flooding took many by surprise.
But floods have plagued many North Jersey communities for decades, and experts say that due to more intense storms caused by climate change — combined with continued development, aging stormwater infrastructure and the forbiddingly high cost of flood mitigation projects — the problem will only get worse.
“It has become clear that, unfortunately, what used to be a 100-year storm is taking place far more frequently than anyone ever thought,” said Thomas Duch, the administrator for Bergen County, where 37 bridges and multiple roads were damaged by Ida's floodwaters.
“We have to begin addressing where we are going,” Duch said. “Going forward, how do we build a more flood-resilient future?”
For areas of North Jersey that already endure chronic flooding, and for those spots starting to flood that hadn't previously, future development will need to be “smarter,” Duch said.
“Is there a quick fix? No, but going forward there needs to be an awareness, and public officials need to account for overdevelopment,” Duch said. “That’s going to take time to teach and train people to help us confront storms in the future. It’s going to take a lot of time and effort.”
In light of all that, NorthJersey.com asked experts why some North Jersey neighborhoods and streets are prone to flooding, what has been tried to address the issue — and what more can be done to mitigate the threat of future flood damage.
NJ flood zones growing with population
New Jersey's population has continued to grow — by 20% in the past 30 years.
That growth has sparked more development, which brings more impervious surfaces such as parking lots, highways and warehouse roofs. These surfaces accelerate the flow of rainwater into local streams, causing them to crest and overflow — since there's less vegetation and exposed soil to absorb the water.
Many North Jersey towns have allowed development in flood plains, exacerbating the problem, said Geoffrey Goll, president of Princeton Hydro, a group that specializes in water resources engineering.
The flooding that results will only be worsened by the impact of climate change. Warmer air can hold more moisture, bringing more intense rainfall. Since 1990, New Jersey has experienced its 10 warmest years in 126 years of record-keeping. It's been deluged with more precipitation, and not just from extreme weather.
New data suggests that storms are growing in intensity and frequency, said David Robinson, a Rutgers professor and state climatologist. "There's 7% more moisture in the atmosphere," Robinson said. "All it needs is a triggering event."
And much of the state's stormwater infrastructure is old — it was not designed to handle today's larger volumes of rainfall.
While building standards have required new developments to include such flood mitigation measures as retention basins to detain water, they have not necessarily kept pace with climate change, said Goll. A detention basin designed for storms in the 1980s may be out of date for the intensity of storms North Jersey gets now, he said.
Meanwhile, some flood remediation plans date back to the 1980s — but have sat on shelves for decades due to high price tags.
It is never too late to add flood storage capacity, said Qizhong Guo, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Rutgers University. It is, however, difficult and expensive.
Regardless, Guo said, adding flood storage needs to be a multifaceted effort.
To slow river rise during and after storms, development even outside a flood zone should be outfitted with rain barrels, green roofs that have a layer of soil and vegetation to absorb rainwater before it reaches gutters and streets, and other tactics to retain or decelerate runoff, Guo said.
Downstream infrastructure such as bridges over a stream need to be altered to improve the capacity of the water to flow beneath and prevent cresting, he said. Underground storage reservoirs and even flood tunnels are possible solutions to incessant flooding.
"The question is: Do you want to make it where people can stay there or not?" Guo said.
Major projects, such as a proposed 20-mile, nearly $5 billion tunnel to take floodwaters from the Passaic River basin out to Newark Bay, would be expensive, "but their value proposition is increasing," Guo said.
More frequent storms and their flood impacts are causing more expenditures to mend aging and questionably maintained infrastructure, he said. "Why not use the money we're going to spend over the next 50 years and do something?" he said. "I think we have an opportunity when we upgrade infrastructure to add storage to it."
Still, Guo said the hard infrastructure improvements need to be combined with programs to buy out homes in flood-prone regions, and efforts to return wetlands in developed areas to their original state, which would allow natural flooding to occur with minimal damage to infrastructure.
But in such a highly developed area as North Jersey, that's hard to do.
"Some of the area is just not savable," Guo said. "Yes, buy them out and convert it [to forest or wetland], but you can only do so much. You can't move the entirety of Englewood out, for example."
Educating current and future public officials will be key, Duch said.
“Anyone in government needs to be aware of their responsibilities to the public,” he said. “Going forward, the construction of some monstrosity in a flood plain cannot be tolerated.”
Lower Saddle River flooding: Stalled plans
Scan an aerial photo of the lower Saddle River and its tributary the Sprout Brook from 1930, and the area is covered with open fields, farmland and woods. Today, it's paved over with the lanes and sweeping ramps of the Route 4/Route 17 interchange, Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus and its sprawling parking lots, the Bergen Town Center shopping complex, and other large commercial buildings, as well as the miles of sidewalks and driveways in residential developments.
All of those impervious surfaces quickly shoot rainwater into the Saddle River and Sprout Brook, hurtling it toward the communities downstream.
As a result, flooding has become a way of life for towns along the lower Saddle River.
Lodi, Garfield, Wallington, South Hackensack, Saddle Brook, Rochelle Park, Paramus and Fair Lawn all experience flooding during heavy rain from the Saddle River and Spout Brook.
Significant flooding dates back to 1968. The problem remains, despite proposals to alleviate it.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorized a project in 1986 that would include channel modifications along 5.2 miles of the lower Saddle River and 1.7 miles of the lower Sprout Brook. A dozen bridges would be modified to accommodate the deeper channel.
If the plan is ever executed, it would provide protection for up to a 150-year flood event.
Congress authorized the project in 1986. At the time, it would have cost $36.5 million, said Rifat Salim, the Corps' Lower Saddle River project manager.
A design was completed in 1996, but the project stalled due to insufficient funding, Salim said.
Another holdup is contamination. The area has hazardous toxic and radioactive waste. The Corps requires contamination to be addressed before it begins a project, Salim said.
After major flooding in 2006, a $2 million reevaluation study was authorized. In 2007 and 2008, hydraulics and hydrodynamic studies were completed.
An updated economics analysis was completed in 2018, and the project is currently going through another $2 million reevaluation.
“The plans have been dormant for some time,” Salim said. “In light of recent flooding there has been a lot of interest in the project again.”
More analysis is needed to update the plans. "This is more than updating an old design now — we have to update the benefits and look at 20 years of major developments in the area to see if the design needs to be modified," she said.
Salim expects the study to be completed in three months, but then it will be up to local officials to fight for project funding and a cleanup of the contamination.
Lodi flooding: 'How do we combat this?'
The fight to get the Saddle River and Sprout Brook project rolling is one that Lodi officials are prepared to take to Washington.
Mayor Scott Luna said that years ago his father, Tony Luna, who was mayor at the time, and then-Rep. Steve Rothman did go to Washington to plead their case to get funding for the Army Corps of Engineers project. "They were told it was our problem," Luna said. "We were just one duck in a small pond."
Before the COVID pandemic, officials from Lodi and other towns met with Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco to discuss the chronic flooding, and a flood mitigation committee was created.
“How do we combat this? How do we prevent it from happening again? We want answers,” Luna said. “We’re tired of Lodi being the brunt of everyone’s jokes.”
Since then, the flooding has only grown worse — and then Ida in September brought flooding to parts of Lodi that had never experienced it before. Residents along Main Street needed to be rescued by boat. Washington Elementary School was flooded with 5 feet of water, which pushed sludge, dirt and sewage into and around the school.
Despite having its flood doors up, the Boys & Girls Club basement flooded. Across the street, a playground was destroyed and an adjacent bridge that takes Passaic Avenue across a narrow stretch of the Saddle River was damaged, closing it for weeks.
"We need help from Congress and the Army Corps of Engineers," Luna said. "We need federal money from Washington."
Lodi has organized a meeting on Nov. 29 with officials from towns that border the Saddle River to figure out their next moves. By joining together, Luna hopes the group of local leaders will be harder to ignore when they ask federal officials for funding and answers.
In the meantime, Lodi's Public Works Department has snaked all the sewer lines with cameras to look for blockages and leaks. They are also buying caps for the manhole covers to keep stormwater from infiltrating the sewer lines, which Lodi pays for.
Lodi uses 4.2 million gallons of water on a typical day. During Ida, it jumped to as much as 6 million gallons, Municipal Manager Marc Schrieks said — showing how much rainwater got into the sewer lines.
Edgewater flooding: Drenched from both sides
Flooding in Edgewater is a two-pronged problem. The town borders the tidal portion of the Hudson River and can flood easily during a normal rainstorm at high tide, said Greg Franz, the borough administrator.
In addition, the town sits below the Palisades, where rainwater runoff from Cliffside Park, Fort Lee and Fairview pours down on the borough.
“None of these systems are built to handle the sheer quantity of rain in a short period of time,” Franz said.
To combat the flooding on River Road, Edgewater has discussed with Bergen County increasing the diameter of the outfalls where water flows back into the Hudson River, but the price tag would be millions of dollars.
Instead, the borough created a rigorous cleaning and maintenance schedule to keep the outfalls, catch basins and culverts clean. “I can’t tell you how much debris we’ve found in them,” Franz said. “We even found a refrigerator one time.”
Last year, the DPW started work along 100-year-old unused trolley tracks across the Fort Lee border to help with flooding in that part of town. Piping diameters were increased, and additional water vaults and catch basins were created to hold up to 3 more feet of water.
Peckman River flooding: 'It is like a funnel'
After a storm in 2018 took Woodland Park by surprise, Mayor Keith Kazmark made sure the town was prepared for Ida.
"I don't buy into the idea of common storms anymore," Kazmark said. "We are getting so much more rain than we are accustomed to."
The borough, which hugs a bank of the Passaic River, has been working to improve drainage along the Peckman River, a tributary that joins the Passaic in the borough. It spent $1.6 million to put in a pumping station and removed the impediment of 12-inch sewage pipes from underneath the McBride Avenue bridge to improve the Peckman's flow.
One of the challenges is to improve the flow of rainwater along the Peckman and into the Passaic. Currently, the opening under each bridge crossing the Peckman becomes narrower as water flows downstream.
"It is like a funnel," Kazmark said.
Fast-rising water from the Peckman River caused a flood that killed a Little Falls man during Hurricane Floyd in 1999, and another flood in 2011 that caused tens of millions of dollars in damage during Hurricane Irene.
In 2018, an August storm dumped 5 inches of rainwater in just a few hours and caused the river to overflow again. Dozens of vehicles from a nearby dealership were swept down the river, and homes and businesses suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
The larger solution is to install $148 million in flood mitigation projects in Little Falls and Woodland Park. The Army Corps of Engineers has developed a plan that includes a 1,500-foot-long tunnel or culvert on the Little Falls side of Route 46, beneath which the Peckman flows. The culvert would divert floodwater from the Peckman River into the Passaic River. The project would also include elevating some homes along the river and building a levee by Passaic Valley High School.
Little Falls Mayor James Damiano wants to see the Peckman culvert funded as soon as possible.
Storms have caused millions of dollars' worth of damage, "all of which could be prevented in future rain events if the Peckman River project was approved for funding and constructed," Damiano said.
The Pompton and Pequannock: Flood-prone confluence
Split between Riverdale and Pequannock, Harrison Road is the local bellwether for floods.
Just downstream from where the Pompton and Pequannock rivers join, it is among the first roads to flood, and hardest hit — even in the particularly flood-prone Passaic River basin, a prehistoric lakebed that stretches across 800 square miles.
After a massive Passaic flood in 1903, federal surveyors sought to dot the region with reservoirs for drinking water and flood storage.
Aerial images of the area in 1930 show few roads or structures amid the farmland and woods. Then, rampant residential development took over. Developers sought profits. Politicians sought property tax revenue. Growing families sought homes.
Harrison Road transformed from flood plain to dense suburban neighborhood.
But chronic flooding occurred, prompting proposals to mitigate future floods.
The Army Corps of Engineers initially proposed a dredging project along the Pequannock and Pompton rivers. It returned in 1984 with plans for a $1 billion flood tunnel near Harrison Road that would siphon water from the Pompton River to Newark Bay. That proposal — which would cost about $5 billion today — has never gained traction.
Considering that fix's improbability, FEMA stepped in with a pledge of $2.2 million to buy out some flood-damaged homes. Two dozen along North Pequannock Avenue and Harrison Road were among the first 41 homes eligible.
Despite opposition from local officials who said they would pledge no money for the program, buyouts started after a massive April 1984 flood that forced about 90 residents from their homes. Today, just three homes remain on Harrison Road. None is left on North Pequannock Avenue, where vegetation battles pavement. The last home there was bought by Pequannock Township in 2011 for a shade under $200,000, and was promptly leveled.
Since Hurricane Irene in 2011 flooded about 1,100 homes in the township, federal officials pledged $6 million to elevate homes in Pequannock. More funding has since poured in to elevate structures, an alternative to buyouts that allows homeowners to stay in their homes, preserves sources of property tax revenue for local governments and helps FEMA reduce flood-related payouts.
In 2015, FEMA allocated $4.6 million to raise 26 homes around Pequannock Avenue and Madison and Roosevelt streets to limit exposure to future flood insurance claims. The next year, the agency offered another $4.3 million to elevate 22 more homes. In 2018 came two additional grants, totaling $10 million, to raise 50 additional homes.
Bergen and Passaic flooding: More rescue equipment
Many infrastructure projects to mitigate future flooding in North Jersey remain paper proposals at the moment. In the meantime, some North Jersey communities are looking to expand their flood rescue equipment.
Passaic has two lethal flood-prone spots around McDonalds Brook, whose headwaters begin in Clifton and which empties into the Passaic River. One trouble spot is by a culvert near Main Avenue, and the other is near where Van Houten and Passaic avenues meet.
For much of its length, the brook runs underground through culverts. When the remnants of Ida passed through, these spots were the locations of three fatalities.
To combat increasingly intense storms, the city plans to buy more rescue equipment, signage and barricades to keep people away from those trouble areas.
For years, Bergen County has been developing new water rescue programs. After Irene (2011) and Sandy (2012), the county took steps to better outfit towns for water disasters.
The county now has 15 water rescue vehicles, three times what it had during Sandy. The county has also put together a new tracking system of all county assets, including water rescue teams and boats to help send resources to towns in need.
During Ida, prestaging was key for the unexpected flash flooding, said Lt. Matthew J. Tiedemann, Bergen County's emergency management coordinator. Resources were moved throughout the county into flood-prone areas before it rained. "Pre-staging was huge," he said. "We wouldn't have been able to get help otherwise."
For weeks after Ida, streets were lined with waterlogged furniture, ruined toys and disintegrating boxes of people's memories from living in a house for years.
The images of pain and anguish still haunt Lodi's Schrieks.
"It's the disruption of people's lives and the mental load of cleaning out your house over and over again," Schrieks said. "We don't want people to leave."
"Flooding will happen, but we will be proactive instead of reactive," he said. "We will be as aggressive as possible to try and alleviate the damage."


Essential Tips For Working With Concrete
Wear long pants, long overalls, long sleeves, waterproof boots and alkaline resistant gloves at all times. You will also want to be extra careful when working on or near concrete mixers. Be alert and aware when you are near mixers to avoid these potential dangers. Employees are not allowed to walk in concrete blocks or are under the blocks that rise or fall.
Planning and recognizing hazards will make a major contribution to preventing injuries. When employees communicate and help each other complete work tasks, the environment becomes safer for everyone involved. Before the specific work starts, look at your work area and the tasks ahead of you. Work as a team to identify and eliminate as many hazards as possible.
This goes hand in hand with the development of a concrete construction safety plan to tackle them. Knowing the full extent of a problem is the first step to solving it, so here’s a look at the dangers of concrete construction. Contact with wet or hardened concrete mortar cement or cement mixtures can cause skin irritation, severe chemical burns up to the third degree or serious eye damage.
Another safety tip to remember is that when you eat and drink, you just do it in dust-free areas to avoid swallowing cement powder. Also contact other employees if you see a problem or danger, tell someone. Pay attention to what is happening around you and help each other. Make sure you understand how to perform all your work tasks and how to use tools and equipment safely.
Working on a construction site can pose a number of dangers that can cause bodily harm. Wear a helmet to protect your head and do not work under heavy machinery where falling objects are common. Cement is another problem when employees come into contact with it. Cement in concrete, which represents 7-15 percent of the total volume of concrete, is corrosive because of the alkalinity. That is why it is especially important that you impose the use of safety equipment. Make sure there are no exposed areas of the skin that may be subject to chemical cement burns.
It contains some of the major occupational risks for these industries and provides links to health and safety resources to manage these hazards. A construction workshop entails various additional hazards. You must take all standard precautions that apply when working with concrete.
While it is important to know the basic safety measures for working with concrete, the minimum is not sufficient. There are additional safety risks to worry about, as dry, wet concrete can cause significant damage. This page was developed with contributions from the participants in the Alliance program and the OSHA Strategic Association Program. Contains information about risks of specific and specific products in production and construction, including standards, relevant OSHA guidelines and standard interpretations. This page also identifies some of the major industrial segments involved in the production of concrete and concrete products, and in concrete construction work.
In addition, cement poses a risk of inhalation due to its naturally small particles. Cement dust exposure can irritate the eyes, nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. Train safely with a dust mask when opening bags or bags of cement. exposed aggregate concrete supplier All workers must wear glasses to protect themselves from splashes that can cause permanent damage. Cement powder can also cause burns when mixed with water or sweat. Washing cubes with diluted cement from tools can also cause reactions.


In a letter to the City of Seward, Hamilton Construction, the contractor selected to repair storm damage and install mitigation measures along Lowell Point Road, work will begin Friday, Feb. 14. During the project traffic delays and road closures will be necessary said Hamilton Construction.
During the following times, Hamilton says they will coordinate one-lane road access and attempt to keep delays under 15 minutes; 7-9 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and 5-8 p.m.
Hamilton also says during closures, emergency responders and service providers will have unrestricted access.
Construction activates are planned for a four to six-hour widow around low tide. Upcoming daytime low tides beginning Friday are; 11:11 a.m., 12:18 p.m., 1:38 p.m., 3:05 p.m. and 4:19 p.m. Drivers are asked to plan accordingly.
The Seward Journal lists weekly tides on page 12 of each week’s paper. We will also add them to our website, www.sewardjournal.com for easy viewing.

About this home
This home expresses local vernacular in contemporary terms using the newest generation of sustainable products for our environment. In current
interpretation of green building, this residence emerges as a modestly elegant and contemporary milestone. With a heavy emphasis on energy
efficiency, site orientation, and resource conservation, the creation of the house kept construction waste to a negligible amount. Central to the design intent is the “kit-of-parts” theory, ensuring that all the major assemblies in the house were of a predesigned size and dimension so that little or no cutting of materials was necessary on the work site, almost eliminating construction waste. In this way the design adapts to sustainable off-the-shelf materials readily available locally rather than requiring the materials to conform to design. Since this house borders fire-prone forests, fire-resistant materials were chosen for the building envelope including four-hour walls and a metal roof.
The space-saving features of the design allow for easily maintained
centralized utilities and keeps the footprint of the house to a minimum.
Radiant heat, ICF walls, Energy Star appliances, and passive solar alignment
all contribute to energy efficiency, reducing the expenditure of fossil fuels.
The land itself was taken into careful consideration before any construction began, employing a site-specific approach. Rather than cut and clear the
earth to change the natural lay of the land to suit the needs of the structure, the footprint was sited between existing arroyos, which provide natural
drainage. The surrounding xeriscape is complemented by the design of the ”butterfly roof,” which allows for centralized water collection points and a system of xeriscaped terraces to control erosion.
The Forest Studio is a fine example of how sustainable building can
combine a variety of green features with a contemporary aesthetic to
produce a functional, lasting, and inspiring home.
Lot Design, Preparation, Development, and Environmental Responsibility
Siting the house for passive solar alignment allows heat gain in the winter and shade in the summer. Minimum impact to the natural landscape was
accomplished utilizing the existing arroyos for drainage, and installing a septic tank without the need for an intrusive leech field.
Use of Materials and Resource Efficiency
Modular design of the chosen building materials reduced construction waste, increased energy efficiency, and reduced impact on the environment. Nudura ICF walls and the steel roof beams are sustainable materials that do not “off-gas” and are recyclable. The deck is made with Pucte wood, certified for sustainable harvest.
Energy efficiency begins with a tight building envelope with low-E glazing. The combination heating/hot water system was sized appropriately for
radiant heating and domestic use. All appliances have Energy Star ratings. Natural primary interior lighting is complemented with low-voltage circulation and task lighting.
Water conservation features include well sharing, a 10-gallon combo washer/dryer, a dual-flush toilet, low-flow shower head, and a gray water system to recycle as much water as possible. The design of the roof allows strategic water catchment to provide ample irrigation for the indigenous and xeriscaped planting.
Indoor Environmental Quality
The cross-ventilated air inside is kept pure by using low-VOC paint and natural plaster on the 52 STC-rated ICF walls, which promote no mold growth and emit no VOCs or CFCs. The exclusion of a central HVAC system eliminates the need for an air filtration system.
Operation, Maintenance, and Homeowner Education
This house was built by and for the designer. All of the operating systems were chosen for their efficiency, durability, and low maintenance requirements.
The environmental impact of the Forest Studio site has been minimized through the integration of low-impact building systems, water- and energy-efficient appliances, and a combination mechanical system. Natural precipitation and gray water is redistributed onto the site to enhance erosion-controlling terraced xeriscaping.


In the past few years, there has been a significant shift in architectural practices towards incorporating sustainable elements and embracing nature. The new approach seeks to create spaces that not only serve practical purposes but also establish a strong connection with the environment. This way of designing is gaining popularity worldwide, and it is interesting to see how it is shaping contemporary architecture.
To live in harmony with nature, it’s important to incorporate green spaces into urban areas. Architects are now transforming concrete buildings into beautiful and lush havens by adding rooftop gardens, vertical forests, and cascading terraces. These green areas not only provide a visual break but also offer various environmental benefits. They help promote biodiversity in cities by reducing the impact of the urban heat island effect, improving air quality, and creating habitats for birds and insects.
Innovative ways to conserve energy have become an essential aspect in constructing modern buildings. Architects today are employing numerous techniques to decrease energy consumption and lessen reliance on non-renewable resources. Passive design methods such as natural cooling and lighting, maximising sunlight, and insulation help to reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling. Additionally, renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines are incorporated into the building’s structure to produce clean energy on-site.
One crucial aspect of eco-friendly building practices involves conserving water. Strategies such as reusing greywater, gathering rainfall, and employing efficient irrigation methods have become commonplace in construction projects. These measures help to reduce water waste while also alleviating the strain on freshwater supplies. Furthermore, sustainable architects are opting for eco-conscious building materials like recycled or locally sourced materials, which have a lower environmental impact than traditional options.
Moreover, the concept of living in sync with nature encompasses not just the physical aspects of buildings but also the relationship between building inhabitants and their surroundings. Biophilic design principles incorporate elements such as natural light, views of greenery, and the incorporation of organic shapes and materials to connect people with nature. Research has shown that such design choices enhance creativity, productivity, and overall well-being while reducing stress levels and improving indoor air quality.
To sum things up, the recent trend of harmonizing with nature is transforming our perspective and interaction with the built world. Architects are creating eco-friendly edifices with green spaces, energy-saving features, water conservation, and biophilic design principles to foster a deeper connection with the natural world. It is crucial to prioritize these practices as we progress towards a more sustainable and serene future for both humanity and the environment.


Have you ever wondered why roof pipe collars leak? In today’s blog, we are going to share the details of that very problem and the solution.
Roof Vent Pipes
The overwhelming majority of residential roofs have at least 1, or several vent pipes protruding through the roof. These vent pipes serve as conduits to allow gas and/or air to escape through the roof. The pipes, originating in kitchens and bathrooms, transport the gas and/or air without having to be turned on or tended to. Because of this, and the fact that most of these pipes are located on the backside of residential roofs, most homeowners don’t think twice about these pipes sticking through their roof. So, they go unnoticed; unnoticed, until a roof leak develops.
The Pros and Cons of Different Roof Pipe Collars
Undoubtedly, one of the most common types of roof leaks is leaky roof pipes. The most common cause of a leaking vent pipe occurs at the collar surrounding the base of the pipe. The base of the vent is usually aluminum or galvanized steel, but the collar, or gasket, is usually made of rubber or plastic. The reason pipe penetrations leak is two-fold – #1, many pipes collars are not made to last as long as the shingles that surround them; #2, the roofers don’t understand how to properly shingle and seal a pipe collar. Any time an obstruction penetrates a roof, it’s imperative that the right material is used and that the roofers know how to properly roof around it.
The most common types of roof pipe collars are made of either plastic, lead, or galvanized steel. Plastic pipe collars, especially in the Alabama heat, tend to dry rot and break down prematurely. Plastic roof pipe collars are the cheapest for the roofer (whether he passes the savings to the homeowner is uncertain), thus are the most common collar used around pipe penetrations on shingle roofs. A properly installed plastic pipe collar can last 10-15 years. However, since plastic is the cheapest material for a pipe collar, they tend to attract less than reputable roofers, which means workmanship is usually sub-standard causing the pipe collar to never reach its optimal lifespan.
Lead pipe collars, if properly installed, are always a good choice. Lead is a durable yet pliable material in roof applications, hence the long-term use of lead pipe collars. But squirrels love to eat lead, and the state of Alabama has a lot of squirrels. When squirrels chew on the lead, it comprises the pipe collar creating leaks inside the house. Of course, if you don’t have squirrels that every climb on your roof, a lead pipe collar can be a good choice.
In our experience, galvanized steel is the only viable, long-term solution to flashing around pipe penetrations. Galvanized steel is rot-resistant, animals don’t bother it, and is paintable (painting pipes gives the roof a nice finished look). To avoid costly leaks and repairs, we use 1 of 2 kinds of pipe flashings on our residential shingle roofs. For our Standard Roof System, we use IPS Flashings with a galvanized base and flexible elastomeric collar. These collars come in 2 sizes (3/1″ of 4/1″) and are made to custom fit each pipe penetration. For our Ultimate Roof System, we use The Ultimate Pipe Flashing System with a wider, marine-grade stainless steel base and silicone collar. These collars come in 5 sizes (1 1/4″, 1 1/2″, 2″, 3″, and 4″). The Ultimate Pipe Collar provides a lifetime precision watertight seal with its ultra-pure silicone collar and PVC compression boot. All pipes collars installed on our roof systems are installed with a Storm Guard “target” under the shingles and fastened to the roof deck with heavy gauge metal screws.
The Importance of Being Proactive
Leaks around pipes collars often go undetected. The roof leak is usually never a major one but it does allow rainwater to enter the attic space. If the attic is properly insulated, the insulation will absorb the water, completely drying before the next rain. This cycle will go on and on until the plywood decking surrounding the pipe collar rots. However, these small leaks work like compound interest, if you leave it alone long enough, the monetary value will be huge.
If you believe you have a problem with roof pipe collars leaking into your home or business, or if you believe you have any kind of roof leak happening at all, it is better to be proactive in addressing the leak. Slow small leaks over time can end up costing lots of money in water damage. Guyette roofing is ready to help. Contact us today for a free estimate!

This very unique project included the accurate documentation of one of architect Charles Dilbeck's best residential designs followed by the moving of the house to a new site within a 90-day timeframe. This 1937 residence was over 300 feet long and clad primarily in brick and stone.
Following its move, the residence was re-installed and its masonry re-constructed on new ground with an extensive addition that nearly doubled the size of the home. New electrical and mechanical systems that included geo-thermal air conditioning and radiant heat floors were sensitively integrated.
The addition was designed to be visually integrated with the historic residence and its impact on the historic character of the home was minimized by placing much of the new space in the basement and as a separate guest house wing.
Nancy McCoy served this project as Project Manager/Architect and designer for ARCHITEXAS.


Project energy consumptions reliably
TÜV SÜD’s energy modelling and simulation service provides an accurate and reliable representation of a building for the purpose of simulating the building’s energy consumption. It analyzes the relationship between various systems to help fully understand a building or project’s needs and support stakeholders in making decisions with regard to adopting green measures.
The experts at TÜV SÜD use a simulation program to predict energy consumption by studying system interactions and setting ideal energy consumption levels as per national or international standards. All the design and operating parameters associated with the energy consumptions of that building can be taken into consideration. This includes wall and roof constructions, window performance values, installed electricity for lighting and user equipment, occupant numbers, ventilation requirements, air and water distribution system descriptions, and cooling and heating equipment details.
The simulation takes in the energy model data, combines it with historic data, and estimates the performance of the entire building and system components for the year. TÜV SÜD energy modelling and simulation services complement its portfolio of Green Buildings services.

Increased Efficiency Through Smart Lighting
IoT technology allows for better management and automation of vital utilities. Smart lighting devices offer integration with existing building and municipal infrastructures, giving managers more intelligent programing options. By operating lights at ideal and strategic periods of the day when they are needed most, building and municipal managers save money while supplying a more practical lighting solution.
Additionally, smart light poles can provide a number of important services. Ubiquitous in urban environments, these simple light poles can include wireless base stations (increasingly important for small cell deployments), digital street signs, environmental sensors, water/flood detection, appropriate light levels, speakers for public service announcements, image sensors, emergency call buttons and much more, all of which are designed to collect and transmit data that informs and coordinates with other “smart” devices.
Netsync works with organizations and city managers to source smart lighting configurations that provide economical alternatives to conventional lighting products to achieve cost reduction goals and improve the safety of buildings and public property.

Metal outdoor stairs
Our company manufactures stairs from various metallurgical products. The supporting structure of the stairs can be made of thick metal sheets, to which the metal treads are bolted. This solution gives the stairs great vertical rigidity and makes the stairs look very aesthetic. We also create stair structures from closed metallurgical profiles of rectangular or square cross-section. Stair support beams made of light profiles can be positioned on the outside of the stairs or on the underside, under the treads. The latter solution is particularly recommended in places where there is little space, as the beams placed under the treads do not widen the stairs, and then the entire available space can be devoted to the stair treads, making them more comfortable. The design of stairs made of closed profiles greatly enriches them in terms of aesthetics. We also make metal stairs from the most popular metallurgical product – channel iron. We have developed a construction of stairs with support beams made of hot-rolled channel, namely the beams are placed under the treads and – in comparison with previously used metal stair solutions – the channel is inverted, i.e. the smooth surface faces the outside of the stairs and the groove faces the inside. This gives an extraordinary visual effect; the stairs look like they were made of a closed profile, while maintaining high strength. It should be remembered that the strength indicators for a metallurgical channel section are considerably higher than for a hollow section of similar dimensions. The construction of metal stairs with support beams on the underside also gives the possibility of locating them inside the stairs, which creates the effect of hanging treads. We manufacture metal stairs comprehensively; we offer manufacturing, delivery to the customer and assembly, as well as manufacturing for self-assembly by the customer.
Delivery to a specified location or personal collection from our factory is possible.
Outdoor metal construction stairs are the ideal solution for those looking for a tailored and elegant design for the outdoor of their building. The cost of metal external stairs is lower than stairs of concrete or wooden construction. In addition, outdoor metal stairs are safe to use, have non-slip treads and there is no fire hazard. Other advantages may also include:
- ability to build complex and large structures
- ability to dismantle when expanding the whole building;
- high durability
The price and stability of this type of metal stairs argues for its consideration.
We will design and create any metal stairs for you according to your tastes and requirements.

sLAB Costa Rica
Costa Rica, known for its biodiversity, national parks, and thriving eco-tourism, has a severe municipal solid waste management (MSWM) problem. Lacking appropriate infrastructure and policies, over sixty percent of the 2,400 tons of waste produced daily are put into open, unregulated dumps and less than ten percent gets recycled. 250 tons daily are dumped illegally into rivers and tropical forests, polluting ground water, threatening the health of local communities and destroying a fragile ecosystem, whose well-being is of critical importance not only locally but to the planet.
Over 30% of the materials that currently end up in the Nosara dump could have been recycled, and 50% is compostable organic matter. By collecting, sorting, compacting, and selling recyclables for future transformation into new materials, and by educating the community about proper waste management practices, the Nosara Recycling & Education Center is estimated to reduce the amount of trash in the local dump by over 80%.
The project is realized within the framework of sLAB Costa Rica, a design-build initiative at the NYIT School of Architecture, led by assistant professor Tobias Holler. To jumpstart this under-funded community project we organized an NYIT-wide student design competition in November 2011 featuring an innovative online-voting process on Facebook, reaching over 43,000 people from 19 countries within one week and setting the stage for two crowd-funding campaigns on kickstarter.com, which raised over $30,000.
The funds enabled over 40 students to volunteer on the construction site for 11 weeks in Nosara during two trips, in July/August 2012 to set up the construction site, and again in January 2013, to give the project a big push towards completion. Funds were also used to include the project in a documentary film about waste management and sustainability efforts in Costa Rica by German filmmaker Ayana de Vos. The Nosara Recycling and Education Center has the potential to become a model of sustainable waste management practices for communities in all of Costa Rica, and other tropical countries, and the film will help share this important initiative with a larger audience.
The final design is decidedly modern, but inspired by local passive tropical design strategies. An elongated building form, consisting of three zones (a sorting facility, an open lobby, and support spaces) under a common roof is placed horizontally along the existing slope of the site, minimizing excavation, and impact to the site. An open entry lobby and a landscaped seating area with views into the recycling area will enable the community to engage with and become knowledgeable in the process of recycling.
The building’s narrow plan is oriented to maximize passive cooling through cross ventilation. The roof geometry is optimized to capture prevailing breezes but protect building from the Papagayos, seasonal gale-force winds. The high ceilings and reflective roofing materials will further reduce heat buildup. The building’s structure and exterior walls are made from local pochote wood sustainably grown near the project site. During the wet season, rainwater will be collected on the large roof, and stored in cisterns, for 100% of the facility’s water needs.


Apart from the request to extend the permit for pumping excess underground water in the sewage system during the construction works on the Promenada Shopping Centre, submitted by the contractor P.A.B. Company, “Vodovod i kanalizacija” PUC also rejected a request from the investor NEPI Rockcastle to continue pumping excess water even after the end of the construction works, i.e. while the facility was already in use.
This has been confirmed by the chief engineer at “Vodovod i kanalizacija” Ikonija Karadzic in her statement to VOICE. She said that the investor had requested in February of last year to be allowed to continuously release 60 litres of underground water into the sewage system of Novi Sad for an indefinite period of time during the exploitation of the facility.
“We replied with a negative answer and explained that we could give them the permit we issued during the construction works and that once the works were over, we were no longer under the obligation to allow it. Draining of excess underground water is not among our core activities, nor can we accept that responsibility, since it is simply impossible. Nowhere in the world is underground water released constantly into a sewage system,“ says Ikonija Karadzic.
When it comes to the permit to release underground water, she explained that such permit was issued to contractors only during construction works, until the foundations are protected and hydro-insulation is installed. That did not affect the system, she added, because it did not last a long time.
“It is a common procedure for all construction sites in the city, because that’s what Novi Sad is like. The whole city is above underground water and very often, almost every large and important facility has a problem,” she explained and added that the permit was normally renewed after two or three months, but in case of Promenada it had been renewed for a period of over one year.
“Vodovod i kanalizacija” PUC: “The construction of the facility probably did not see the problem of foundation hydro-insulation solved”
When asked why the investor had requested for the underground water to be released into the sewage system beyond the end of the envisaged construction works, Ikonija Karadzic replied that it was a problem the investor and contractor should make public, because they had probably failed to solve the problem of the foundation hydro-insulation during the construction works.
Professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Subotica Petar Santrac, who was hired by the SBR Soletanche Bachy from Romania, the company in charge of project design, to conduct an assessment of the influence off permanent pumping of excess underground water into the sewage system onto the facilities in the vicinity of Promenada, said in his statement to VOICE that the investor had opted for a system that had been designed to drain water during the entire period of its exploitation.
“They did not envisage a basin, which would allow the water level to raise, but they simply installed a thin layer of road surface, down on the second level and they envisaged the water should be constantly drained and pumped out for as long as the facility is in use,” says Santrac and adds that the problem was that the contractors had nowhere to pump that water into, because the idea was to constantly pump it into the sewage system of Novi Sad or directly into the Danube river.
“If they don’t drain that water constantly, the level of water within the facility will level with the level of underground water, which means the whole first or second level coul be flooded. The level of underground water is close to three meters and they had gone up to eight meters in depth, which means that there is a water column of five meters, which will flood the underground levels if the water is not removed somewhere,” says Santrac.
The question is, he adds, whether the sewage system has a sufficient capacity to hold all that water. According to him, it is up to “Vodovod i kanalizacija” to say it is impossible and then some other solution should be sought. For example, when a summer storm hits the city and it gets flooded, that could be a problem.
“If “Vodovod i kanalizacija” provided a negative answer, they’ll have to install a separate drain pipe from the site to the Danube river. This 800-meter pipe will have to be installed, which is an additional, but necessary expenditure, because there is no other solution,” claims professor Santrac, emphasizing it is now too late to think about hydro-insulation.
Namely, the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina, “Gradjanska Vojvodina” coalition of NGOs and the opposition parties in Novi Sad issued announcements in which they appeal to the competent bodies in Novi Sad and the investors in the Promenada Shopping Centre to solve the problem related to underground water as soon as possible, since it is threatening to endanger the normal daily lives of the citizens. According to their claims, pumping large quantities of underground water into the sewage system could jeopardize its normal functioning, water supply, as well as the buildings in the Liman residential area and its vicinity.
After that, the mayor of Novi Sad Milos Vucevic announced a “for-cause” inspection of the Promenada construction site, saying that “no-one is in danger, nor would the city ever do or allow something like that.” However, we have still not received any results of the announced inspection.
At the end of last week, Vucevic talked to the Radio-Televison of Vojvodina and said that a building inspection team visited the site and “established that the works were progressing in accordance with the construction permit.” He added that “Promenada will not be issued a use permit until all the works have been completed.”

“There’s a new trend in driveway surfaces and it’s called Resin Bound” There’s a new trend in driveway surfaces and it’s called Resin Bound. This relatively new technology is a mix of stone and resin that is applied to the surface, creating a smooth, durable finish.
A Resin Bound Driveway is very low in maintenance and you have up to 40 colours to choose from.
So, whether you’re considering installing a new driveway or just curious about this latest trend, read on for all the information on: www.prestigepaving.ie
What are the benefits of Resin Bound?
There are many benefits to using resin bound surfacing. First, it’s extremely durable and can withstand heavy traffic. It’s also low maintenance and easy to clean – you can simply hose it down or sweep it with a broom. In addition, resin bound is porous, which means it allows water to drain through. This is an important feature, especially for driveways, as it helps to prevent pooling and flooding. And last but not least, resin bound surfacing is attractive. It comes in a variety of colors and can be customized to suit your taste.
With proper care and maintenance, a gravel driveway can last up to 100 years. The beauty of gravel is that it can be repaired and replenished on an ongoing basis. By contrast, wear and damage to asphalt and concrete driveways are difficult to remedy and replacement is often more cost-effective than extensive repairs.
Gravel is also less vulnerable to damage from seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, or frost heave, which can cause significant cracking and settling in solid driveway materials.
Easy To Maintain!
Adding a bit of extra gravel now and again is about all the maintenance that your driveway will need. Unlike hard, impermeable options, gravel driveways are self-cleaning, with rain washing built-up dirt and dust back down into the soil. Adding gravel doesn’t require specialist tools or a specialist skillset either, unlike fixing bitumen or concrete.

The True Cost of Salt Storage
Choosing a salt storage building for your operations is important. Proper storage solutions can reduce runoff, protect salt and sand from the elements, and can also help you adhere to environmental salt management plans.
But did you know that the building you choose to store salt in can end up costing you more than the actual salt inside?! We know what you’re thinking – no thanks!
Here is a little secret. The foundation type can be the key component to help you store more salt, and minimize your overall cost per ton stored.
- Buildings mounted on piers independently from the bunker wall will reduce the foundation cost by as much as 50%
- Gain more interior clearance by increasing the leg and/or pier height
- Bunker panels can be up to 16 feet tall storing 40% more salt
- More salt, same footprint, with less foundation cost = LOWER COST PER TON SALT STORAGE

A structural analysis was performed on the Exhaust Stack of SmA Gas Turbine
Generator to evaluate the strength and stability of the part while lifting and
it should fulfil the requirement criteria outlined in Ref. [S1], Ref. [S2] and Ref. [S3].
Ref. [S1], Ref. [S2] and Ref. [S3].
Material Name: ASTM A 240 Stainless Steel Type 316/316L
All parts in the FE model have the same materials properties
Results displayed are based on 4g consideration
Maximum sling tension calculation
S1 - lifting (example for 6G)
The table shows the maximum tension sling is 148220.09N
Minimum required lifting capacity of the sling 148220.09N = 15.11 tonnes
Selected shackle: G-2130, Bolt type anchor shackle
with 1.5" nominal size and load limit of 17 tonnes
Scaffolding is considered one of the most essential parts in building construction, allowing a support structure to be erected quickly. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be adopted in order to validate the strength and stability of the said scaffolding. The following load cases can be done using FEA
Linear Static Analysis can be used to analyze the linear stress and strain when subjected to weight of the worker and their tools.
Linear Buckling Analysis is the analysis used to predict the load level, when applied will cause a sudden loss in stiffness; sudden large increment of displacement at the said load.
The critical area seems to rely on the T joint of the scaffolding structure with a value of 430 Mpa.
4 tier seems to have a similar stress distribution, but with slightly higher maximum stress at T-joint
Linear reluctant maximum stress is less than 1% difference between 2 tier and 4 tier scaffolding
Linear buckling analysis, when conducted to both assy shows a significant difference of about 40% in terms of loading before buckling was predicted. This analysis can be further refined using Non-Linear Buckling Analysis, in which the loading is applied at a small rate until buckling happens but it shall require a more computational power
Full open = 50mm
Current open = 37mm (74%)
Q is the rate of flow (expressed in US gallon per minutes)
SG is the specific gravity of the fluid (for water = 1);
ΔP is the pressure drop accross the valve (expressed in psi)
