GreenWorks Inspections & Engineering’s Post

Are contractors taking utility mapping seriously enough? On the latest episode of Concrete Conversations hosted by Forrest🪓 Sim, Michael A Twohig of DGT Associates sounds off on a concerning trend. Are cut corners putting projects (and lives) at risk? Tune in to find out here https://lnkd.in/earvt-dU! #construction #safety #utilities #responsibility #safetymatters

Attention Southern New England & Cape Cod Coastal Homeowners! Have you heard about the new Title V Regulations taking effect in Summer 2023? If your septic system falls within the "MassDEP Nitrogen Sensitive Area", it may need to be updated to an innovative/alternative system. Did you know that around 80% of the nitrogen entering the watersheds on the Cape are from septic systems, leading to pollution in bays and estuaries? Don't worry, NE Services Inc is here to help. Our team is well-equipped to handle these upgrades. Give us a call to schedule a consultation to learn how we can help. www.neservicesinc.com #TitleVRegulations #SepticSystemUpgrades #NEServicesInc #CapeCod #CoastalHomeowners #southshorema

In January this year, Co-Lab Engineering along with other local supply chain partners, were engaged to lead a two-week ‘sprint’ aimed at identifying engineering solutions to the brown water in Whitehaven Harbour. This sprint allowed us to explore three fundamental questions: 1. What are the economic, environmental, and technological drivers for change, beyond the aesthetic concerns for our town? 2. What are the existing industry solutions for dealing with iron ochre? 3. What are the potential legal and regulatory frameworks and funding provisions for addressing this issue? We found answers to two of these questions, including sound assumptions on the primary, secondary, and tertiary impacts on the businesses and residents of Whitehaven, as well as the existing, quickly deployable, industry-recognised solutions. The challenge with this issue is not technical. Iron ochre is routinely managed worldwide with active solutions designed to aerate, filter, and balance the pH of the water returned to the source. However, the volumetric flow rate combined with limited space makes any potential solution large and expensive. The challenge also lies within the legal and regulatory frameworks required for the deployment of these solutions, as well as the availability of financial resources. There are three critical success factors for deploying a solution: 1. Data: Sufficient data to substantiate the design of a solution so it is sized correctly, including iron loading and flow rate with a proportional safety factor for extreme weather events. 2. Permitting: Regulatory support for permitting a potential solution, ensuring the approach conforms to high environmental standards and improves conditions rather than worsening them. 3. Financial Resource: Adequate capital and operational budget to deliver an active solution with consideration for life-time cost. Efforts have been made and continue to be made to understand the iron loading and flow rate, but more needs to be done to meet the other critical success factors. Since the sprint, I have been donating my time to work as part of the multi-agency task force, supporting with engineering and project delivery ideas to help remediate this issue as quickly as possible. In my limited role of authority, my impact and influence are relatively constrained, but I hope the above has provided some degree of clarity from an objective and somewhat informed perspective. Please note, I will not be responding to any comments or direct messages on this matter.

"Green is good, in many instances. But going green does create new risks, one of which is asbestos coming to light during upgrades." Asbestos isn't going anywhere. It is in many buildings built before the year 2000 so it is important for those who own or are in charge of a building ensure the location of asbestos is known, and that the asbestos is undisturbed. If it is disturbed processes need to be followed to ensure the safety of everyone in the building. The ARG Group is here to help. If there is not enough information on the location of asbestos in a building we can also conduct an asbestos survey. Should asbestos need removal, we can work with you to ensure optimum safety and the best solution for your needs. #asbestosremoval #asbestossurvey #asbestosabatement #tradesman #tradespeople #contractor #certified https://lnkd.in/ek9DwJYK
