#Excavation and #trenching are among the most hazardous construction operations. Ensuring safety is paramount. Here are some essential tips to keep your team safe: 1. Plan Ahead: Conduct a thorough risk assessment and locate underground utilities before digging. 2. Protective Systems:Use sloping, shoring, or shielding to prevent cave-ins for trenches deeper than 5 feet. 3. Safe Access:Provide ladders, steps, or ramps within 25 feet of lateral travel in the trench. 4. Hazard Monitoring:Test for hazardous atmospheres and ventilate trenches to prevent gas buildup. 5. Equipment Safety:Keep heavy machinery away from trench edges and ensure regular maintenance. 6. Water Control:Implement dewatering systems to manage water accumulation. 7. Daily Inspections:Have a competent person inspect trenches daily and after weather events. 8. Proper Signage:Use warning signs and barriers to protect the site and keep unauthorized personnel out. 9. Communication:Maintain clear communication among team members regarding safety protocols. 10. Emergency Preparedness:Equip your site with emergency rescue tools and conduct regular drills. Stay safe and prioritize these measures to ensure a secure excavation and trenching environment. #Excavation #Trenching #WorkplaceSafety #Safety

🚒 The Benefits of Reverse Hose-Lay for Firefighters in Industrial, Large-Area, and High-Rise Fires 🚒 When responding to industrial, large-area, or high-rise fires, a reverse hose-lay can be a vital tactic for success. Here’s why: 🔄 Efficient Water Supply: In large facilities or high-rises, ensuring a quick and steady water supply is critical. The reverse lay allows firefighters to drop hose at the fire scene and drive directly to a hydrant, reducing delays. 🏭 Industrial Firefighting: Reverse lays streamline hose deployment in sprawling industrial complexes, where distance from hydrants and obstacles can slow operations. 🏢 High-Rise Scenarios: When dealing with high-rise fires, moving equipment up multiple floors is tough. A reverse lay helps ensure that key firefighting tools and personnel are positioned close to the hydrant for efficient water pumping. 💪 Operational Flexibility: With the reverse lay, pump operators and engine companies have better control over supply, ensuring adequate pressure and flow for fire attack teams. Train hard. Fight smart. Stay efficient. 💥 #FirehouseTraining #FirefighterTactics #ReverseHoseLay #IndustrialFirefighting #HighRiseFires #StaySafe #AlwaysPrepared #FireServiceTraining

OHS-MS Fire Hydrant System How to select a Fire pump ?
How to select a fire pump flow and head? Suppose the calculations came out with us with 1400 gpm at 90 psi at suction pressure equals 0. How do I choose the right pump for these calculations? * One of the conditions of the fire pump is that it works at 150% of the flow, provided that the pressure is not less than 65% of the rated pressure, and this case is called (overload) * If we divide the 1400 gpm by 150%, we will have approximately 933 gpm, the nearest standard size remains 1000 gpm. * The 1400 gpm will be considered 140% of the rated capacity of our pump, and this is acceptable. * We enter the standard curve of the firepump and we will find that at 140% of the rated capacity the pressure remains approximately 72% of the rated pressure. * The total pressure is equal to the discharge pressure (90 psi) + the suction pressure in this case with 0. * Net pressure at 1400 gpm is equal to 90 psi, and rated pressure at 1000 gpm is equal to 90 / 72 is approximately equal to 125 psi. So the appropriate pump for our accounts should not be less than 1000 gpm at 125 psi. - This is another way to choose, but the first method is to choose the highest flow of the standard size according to the calculations. If we have calculations for example 1400 gpm it is better to choose 1500 gpm, the example above is the second method of choice.

Three lock gates that have to be overhauled every six years have been dutifully serviced on time at the German port of Cuxhaven. The gates have to be drained and flooded regularly in a complicated procedure that takes five months from start to finish. Cuxhaven port owner Niedersachsen Ports GmbH & Co. KG (NPorts) also operates the ports of Brake, Emden, Stade, Wilhelmshaven and the Island Supply Ports (consisting of the island ports of Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog and Wangerooge). To carry out the works, seven dam panels stacked on top of each other are pulled out of the central head of the Cuxhaven sea lock, on the northern coast of Germany. The panels weigh up to 8 tonnes each, with the heaviest at the bottom. About 25 tons of pacific oysters and mussels first have to be removed from the steel of the gates, having fastened themselves on since the last maintenance six years before. The gates are then docked into a lateral concrete shaft, which is sealed and pumped out. NPorts then renews the sealing timbers to ensure the gates are water tight, and all hydraulic and mechanical components are checked and replaced if necessary, before the lock is flooded again. “The flooding of the gate is always an emotional moment and has great significance for everyone involved,” said Knut Kokkelink, head of the NPorts port site in Cuxhaven. The doors are de-rusted and blasted from both sides and high-pressure cleaned to extend their service life. Each service costs around €700,000, which makes it one of the most expensive structures in the port of Cuxhaven, NPorts says. Cuxhaven sea lock was completed in 1965 to separate the outer harbour from the fishing port. It is 182 metres long and 9.7 metres deep, large enough to allow large ships passage.
