How To Inspect Inlet Filter Inserts Inspection of inlet-based systems is fairly straightforward as this is purely a visual inspection. It may require lifting the grate to evaluate, but all we are looking for in the inspection is accumulations of silt, sediment, and trash in the system. If the basket or bag is half full that is a good indication of the need for maintenance. In the case of fabric bags, make sure to check for tears of holes in the fabric and notate on the inspection report. Additionally, check for any signs of damage to the frame. Frames can bend under high flows (depending on the manufacturer and model) and so must be checked to ensure that they are not bent or otherwise compromised. Notate any deficiencies on the report. https://lnkd.in/gSJkHhjE #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas #detentionpond #propertymanagement

📋Project Highlight Technical Assurance was engaged by Trinity Church of Christ in Jasper, Indiana to perform a leak investigation. On initial surveys, water infiltration could be seen from the interior of the church. During spray testing of the clerestory and main roof areas, examined conditions revealed installed sealant at the exterior of the clerestory window frames had failed. When remedial sealant was applied over the original sealant, instead of being removed prior to the application of the new sealant, both failed resulting in leakage. The recommendation was that the existing sealant be scraped and removed and new sealing applied once the windows were clean.

One of many great features of our steel trench boxes is our reinforced through the wall sockets. We build our sockets different than your typical pipe sockets. Ours are reinforced through the wall as displayed in the image… That provides a few benefits. For one, you are a lot less likely to damage and tear out your sockets. With a through the wall build, it allows for a more sturdy, longer lasting socket. Another benefit to Kundel sockets is the solid forged cast sockets. Typical pipe sockets are usually prone to an egg shape bend after a while, obviously meaning a damage in the socket. These sockets are solid forged sockets, preventing the pin hole from being deformed and leading to a longer lasting socket. Overall, these sockets have 10 times the material at tear out points, so you will almost NEVER have to replace sockets, therefore protecting your product. For any trench safety needs, please feel free to reach out! Kundel Industries #trenchsafety #trenchbox

Crack sealing involves applying a sealant to cracks on the pavement to prevent water and other particles from seeping in and causing damage. This cost-effective method can extend the life of the pavement by several years. Roads that have been crack sealed can be reopened to traffic almost immediately with the use of a de-tacking agent. To ensure the best results, crack sealing should be done in the spring or fall when cracks are neither too open nor completely closed. It is important to be cautious not to apply too much sealant or create drips and puddles during the process. Using a drip stopper on the applicator can help prevent excess sealant from being applied. #civilengineering #construction #highways #cracksealing

Are roof coatings really all they’re cracked up to be? To avoid becoming a casualty in the unscrupulous roofer’s gold rush, you need to understand these 3 things: 1. Not all systems are created equal. Many distributors are relabeling mid-grade products to take advantage of the coatings trend, but have very little history or track record with coatings. Can your contractor point to completed projects that are still performing well after 20 to 30 years? 2. Is your contractor proposing a coating, or a system? A successful coating restoration must be a complete system designed and tested for the specific type of roof in question. It will include the removal of all previous products on coatings. Thorough cleaning and surface prep, primer, special reinforcement of all seams, terminations and fasteners, and a long term UV resistant top coat. 3. A successful coating system is 20% product and 80% installation. Make sure your contractor has been trained and certified by a reputable coating systems manufacturer, and will implement a thorough cleaning and surface prep process. If you follow these 3 rules, a coating system can be a great asset and save you many thousands of dollars in replacement costs.

Another Coating Catastrophe! Client calls asking for a second opinion on a new coating system that was just installed 2 years prior by another vendor. Numerous active leaks reported, and by walking around could easily tell the insulation was wet/soft. Turns out, this coating was installed over a failing TPO membrane, where the surface of the existing membrane was starting to break down and expose the scrim fibers. No moisture scan completed, no adhesion test conducted, only a material warranty was provided. Moral of the story, coatings are NOT always going to be less expensive alternative to installing a new membrane system. In fact, it could wind up costing more money down the road. Due diligence and proper planning is imperative to ensure the new roof being installed is the correct solution, regardless of the system!

Blast Furnace Slag Granulation Process. In case of the granulation process of the liquid slag with the cold granulation water, the granulation process starts when the granulation water comes into contact with the liquid slag .The slag flow breaks up into lamellas and filaments, then into droplets. Only part of the slag is granulated on the way through the cold runner to the receiving hopper, but is likely to be completed after hitting the impact plate inside the receiving hopper and falling into the receiving hopper. With this design, only part of the water flow is directly used for the granulation process as part is used to cool the wear protection plates alongside of the cold runner front end.. #blastfurnace #bfslag #sgp #bf #slaggranulationprocess
