This was definitely worth attending! I gained valuable insights from the panel discussion, particularly on NFPA13D and how homeowners using their residences for small businesses can benefit from home fire sprinklers. The panelists addressed my question thoroughly, and I appreciate their perspectives. Looking forward to more discussions and webinars on this important topic. If you missed it, the Home Sprinkler Coalition hosted a fantastic webinar with NFPA experts Lorraine Carli and Bob Sullivan on "How Home Fire Sprinklers Can Reduce Construction Costs." Keep an eye out for future events—these are great learning opportunities! #firesafety #NFPA13D #HomeFireSprinklers #Webinar #FirePrevention

This event highlights the interaction between various aspects of infrastructure. The condition and operation of public utilities, roads, and mass transit each affect one another. Attention to collaborative communication, funding, design and construction practices can pay off in unforeseen future ways. https://lnkd.in/e9XaqpAW

The Francis Scott Key bridge collapse is such a sad incident . Thank you Bill Atkinson P.E., Fellow NSPE and the National Society of Professional Engineers (the guiding society for US Licensed engineers ) for issuing a statement on this disaster. Let's not rush to judgment here until the NTSB completes there investigation. There are many maintenance issues that diesel generators on container issues have - some are stated here : Fuel Quality: Poor fuel quality or contamination can lead to engine problems such as clogged fuel filters, injector fouling, and reduced engine performance. Regular fuel quality checks and filtration system maintenance are essential to prevent such issues. Wear and Tear: Continuous operation of diesel generators in harsh maritime environments can cause wear and tear on various components such as pistons, cylinders, valves, and bearings. Regular inspections, lubrication, and replacement of worn parts are necessary to maintain optimal performance and prevent breakdowns. Cooling System Problems: Issues with the cooling system, including coolant leaks, clogged heat exchangers, and malfunctioning pumps, can lead to overheating of the engine and potential damage. Regular inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the cooling system components are crucial for preventing such problems. Exhaust System Maintenance: Diesel generators produce exhaust gases containing pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Regular inspection and maintenance of exhaust gas treatment systems (such as scrubbers or selective catalytic reduction systems) are necessary to ensure compliance with emissions regulations and prevent corrosion or blockages in the exhaust system. Electrical System Faults: Electrical components such as wiring, connectors, switches, and control panels may experience faults or failures due to factors like corrosion, vibration, or moisture ingress. Routine inspection, testing, and maintenance of the electrical system are essential to ensure reliable operation of the generators and associated equipment. Vibration and Alignment: Diesel generators produce significant vibrations during operation, which can lead to misalignment of engine components, mounting bolts loosening, and structural damage. Regular vibration monitoring, alignment checks, and tightening of fasteners are necessary to mitigate these issues and prevent mechanical failures. Corrosion and Rust: Exposure to saltwater spray and moisture can cause corrosion and rust on engine components, especially in marine environments. Regular cleaning, surface treatment, and corrosion protection measures are essential to prolong the lifespan of diesel generators and prevent structural deterioration. Proactive maintenance practices, including regular inspections, preventive maintenance schedules, and prompt resolution of identified issues, are critical for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of diesel generators on container ships.

Did you know that drying building structures is actually a science? If you're attending the NFMT in Baltimore, MD at the Convention Center, stop by the SERVPRO booth #402 to learn more about the process of drying and dehumidification. Our in-house repair division takes over once the building reaches dry standards, making it look like it "NEVER EVEN HAPPENED". Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn more about the science behind building restoration. #SERVPRO #NFMTBaltimore #BuildingRestoration #DryingScience

The time between Memorial Day and Labor Day is called the ‘100 Deadliest Days’ because that period results in an uptick in roadway deaths. And road construction increases the risk of a crash. DON'T do these things to stay safe on the roads this summer. #DrivingTips #RoadSafety #RoadConstruction

Asphalt is one of the most expensive things most cities and private communities own. So, conducting proper due diligence is critical when it comes to maintaining that asset. Joe Regan and his community were incredibly thorough before deciding on a course of action to manage their pavement assets. Hear how Joe and his community evaluated their options and ultimately saved thousands of dollars while extending the life of their roads. https://hubs.ly/Q02sLfVR0 #pavementpreservation #assetmanagement #roads hashtag#streets #publicworks #infrastructure #engineering #engineer #construction #assetmanagement #asphaltmaintenance #oxidation
