Kakatiyas Nature Switch, Makes Street Lights Smart with Auto-Dimming and Switching Technology |
| |
Energy saving technology saves utilities and cities power and money
Kakatiya Energy Systems, an energy management company, announced its new outdoor lighting product, Nature Switchâ„¢ an automated street lighting control system. Nature Switchâ„¢ is an affordable, off-the-shelf alternative to traditional lighting controls. It utilizes innovative switching controls and when coupled with optional auto-dimming technology for HID lamps, it can reduce up to 40 percent of energy usage by reducing the wattage of HID lamps from 100 percent to 60 percent of the wattage during non-peak hours on national highways and state roads.
While India is the third largest energy consumer in the world, it has a 9 percent power deficit. Public lighting consumes approximately 7 percent of all the power generated in the country, while utilities and local governments struggle to reign in power expenditures.
"As energy and maintenance costs continue to increase, taking control of outdoor lighting costs, while keeping the lights on, is imperative,†said Lakshman Rao, Managing Director, Kakatiya Energy Systems. “Kakatiya Energy Systems delivers unique, proven and affordable lighting solutions for street lights that save up to 40 percent of energy costs using our technology solutions.â€
Nature Switch™ is designed to automatically adjust to seasonal day length, requiring no manual reset at any point. The high precision of the technology is such that even clouds, rain, fog, mist, or shade will not cause the lights to switch on during the day whereas traditional sensor based controls are either on during a portion of the day or off during a portion of the night caused due to judgmental errors of the sensors. In addition, Kakatiya’s Save Switch feature incorporates automatic dimming technology for HID lamps, which allows for more efficient use of energy in lighting. For example, Save Switch feature can automatically dim street and highway road lights during periods of low traffic reducing energy usage, and leading to substantial savings to utilities and municipalities.
On average, one 250 watt lamp using Save Switch over the course of one year can save 285 kWh of electricity, or about Rs.1,700 (assuming seven hours per day at non-peak operation at Rs.6/kWh). There are approximately 2.5 lakh street lights in South Delhi alone. If just one quarter of them utilized Save Switch, the city could save approximately Rs.10.5 crores per year.
Street lights utilize over 6,000 MW of power in about 5,500 urban areas in India. Due to mounting power bills, many municipalities resort to not operating the street lights at night, which can contribute to higher crime rates. Kakatiya Energy Systems’ Nature Switch™ is an affordable, smarter street lighting control system that saves labor, energy and money while contributing to safer communities.

Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen for Stronger & Better Roads |
| |
Over the years, road structures have deteriorated more rapidly due to increases in service traffic density, axle loading and low maintenance services. To minimise the damage of pavement surface and increase durability of flexible pavement, the conventional bitumen needs to be improved with regards to performance related properties, such as resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) and fatigue cracking. Unmodified asphalt can be sensitive to temperature variations; it brittles in cold temperatures and develops thermal cracks whereas it softens in high temperatures causing rutting and surface deformations.

GEOSYNTHETICS FOR ROADS & PAVEMENTS |
| |
The most common use of geosynthetics is in road and pavement construction. Geotextiles increase stability and improve performance of weak subgrade soils primarily by separating the aggregate from the subgrade. In addition, geogrids and some geotextiles can provide strength through friction or interlock developed between the aggregate and the geosynthetic. Geotextiles can also provide filtration and drainage by allowing excess pore water pressures in the sub grade to dissipate into the aggregate base course and, in cases of poor-quality aggregate, through the geotextile plane itself. |
| |
|
|
GEOSYNTHETICS FUNCTIONS |
| |
Today a variety of geosynthetic materials can be used in many engineering projects, such as roads, railroads, dams, retaining walls, tunnels, landfills, recreation areas, etc. They accomplish tasks such as subsurface drainage, soil reinforcement, repaving, erosion control, or subgrade stabilization. Geosynthetics extend the service life of roads, increase their load-carrying capacity, keep drainage measures functioning, trap erosion, and reduce the incidence of ruts. Any one project may use more than one type of geosynthetic material, such as geotextiles for underdrain filters and a geogrid for subgrade reinforcement. Also, many geosynthetics serve multiple functions. A geotextile around an underdrain functions for drainage and as a filter, allowing water in but keeping the soil in place. Geosynthetics placed over soft soils function for soil reinforcement as well as separation, keeping fine soil from pumping up into the aggregate. |

Need for sustainable development is an issue that the entire world is talking about. Deforestation, global warming and rapid climate change are problems which have compelled people to opt for a greener way in all aspects.

Commonly used Loaders at construction sites. |
| |
Loaders are not all the same although in most cases, the operating principles are the same. All loaders perform similar actions – they have a scoop style bucket at the front and it is used to scoop up material, move it to another location, and dump it. A loader can also be used like a bulldozer to spread material like dirt, sand or gravel over an area. That concept remains the same with most loaders with the exception of some of the smaller loaders that can have various attachments added to do other types of work. |

Reach dizzy heights TOWER CRANES indispensable to build Hugh risers. |
| |
Use of Tower Cranes is increasing in large building construction.
Tower cranes are a common fixture at any major construction site. They're pretty hard to miss -- they often rise hundreds of feet into the air, and can reach out just as far. The construction crew uses the tower cranes to lift steel, concrete, large tools like acetylene torches and generators, and a wide variety of other building materials. Without these cranes there is some doubt as to whether many complicated high structures could have been economically justified under present-day construction conditions. |

Rough Terrain Forklift Truck |
| |
Forklifts (fork lifts) are used to engage, lift and transfer palletized loads in material handling, warehousing, manufacturing, and construction applications. There are three basic types: manual drive, motorized drive, and fork truck. With manual-drive forklifts, the load movement or travel is manually powered or walk-behind. Motorized-drive forklifts have a motorized drive and, in many cases, a protected cab or seat for the driver. Fork trucks are also motorized, but include features such as cabs and backup alarms. Some forklifts are counterbalanced to prevent the vehicle from overturning. Others include hand rails, safety rails, or a rotating element such as a turntable. Truck-mounted forklifts are mounted or mountable on the back or bed of a utility truck.

India - Major projects in road building |
| |
The Indian subcontinent loses two percentage points in growth each year on account of its dilapidated infrastructure. Multi-billion investments in road construction are intended to change that now. The Wirtgen Group is the ideal partner in this endeavour.
India plans to spend 1,000 billion dollars on infrastructure development between 2012 and 2017. And there is no time to waste as one third of the crop spoils on the way from the field to the store. Ninety percent of the road network is unsuitable for heavy vehicles. Trucks need five days to cover a distance of 1,500 kilometres. To catch up on this tremendous deficit, India has launched the world’s largest programme of public-private partnerships in road construction. The goal is to build as many as 7,000 kilometres of new trunk roads per year. |

Choosing Appropriate Scaffolding System for the Project |
| |
Scaffolding has a variety of applications. It is used in construction, alteration, routine maintenance and renovation. Scaffolding offers a safer and more comfortable work arrangement compared to leaning over edges, stretching overhead and working from ladders. Suitable and sufficient scaffolding must be supplied for work at elevations that cannot be accomplished safely by other means. Properly erected and maintained, scaffolding provides workers safe access to work locations, level and stable working platforms, and temporary storage for tools and materials for performing immediate tasks.

Review of Critical aspects involving long term performance of Geogrid reinforced Basal foundation for SOFT soil stabilisation FOR HIGH EMBANKMENTS AND UNPAVED ROADs |
| |
Som S. Sarkar
Chairman, Envirogeo Group, New Delhi, India
Ranjana Majumder
Technical Director, Enviro Geosynthetics P. Ltd., New Delhi, India
INTRODUCTION
For efficient and vast highway infrastructure, construction of highways through various terrains is required. Many a times, the highway passes through soft compressible strata e.g. marshy land or through backwaters. Construction of highways on such strata by conventional methods results in huge dumping of expensive granular fill sinking progressively till a working platform emerges. Even then give rise to unacceptable settlements leading to damages to the road surface resulting in poor riding quality and require frequent maintenance. Use of methods such as stone columns, sand a drain etc, are time consuming and uneconomical. Methods of stabilization of soil by addition of stabilizers are usually not adopted due to it’s inherent uncertainty to control moisture and difficulty in designing them. Normally unbound aggregate layers sink rapidly with application of wheel load, since the sub-grade accepts the load distribution without being able to provide sub-grade reaction. This result in sinking and mixing of sub-grade inducing heavy surface deformation and rutting.

Concrete Pumps - for Faster and Accurate Concrete Placing |

Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the use of pumped concrete, especially in infrastructure projects in the country. Ready-mixed concrete (RMC) suppliers have played a major role in popularizing the concept of concrete pumping in India. Invariably, most of the applications are concentrated in and around the metros and it is only lately that the concept and application of pumped concrete is percolating to the remote areas where more often than not, pumped concrete is viewed as an unaffordable luxury.

Importance of Canal Lining and Canal Equipment Considerations |
| |
The conservation of water is becoming increasingly important as the demand for this vital natural resource continues to rise rapidly and new sources of supply become scarcer. Unlined canals loose between 35%-50% of water they carry depending upon the soil characteristics of the region they traverse, and the hydraulic and discharge parameters. The importance of lining irrigation channels with the view to save these losses cannot be over emphasized. Canal lining plays an increasing role in conserving losses and thereby extend and improve the irrigation facilities. Some of the broad benefits of canal lining are described below: |

A drilling rig is a mechanical structure designed primarily to create shafts in the ground, known as boreholes. Though the most common conception of a drilling rig is for use in petroleum exploration and extraction off shore, the drilling rig is actually used for a wide variety of purposes, from oil and gas to water well drilling, for mineral exploration, and environmental and construction purposes. The size of a drilling rig can also vary greatly depending on their needs, with portable units that can be transported by truck to massive structures designed to penetrate miles into sub-sea terrain.
There are a variety of drill mechanisms which can be used to sink a borehole into the ground. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, in terms of the depth to which it can drill, the type of sample returned, the costs involved and penetration rates achieved. There are two basic types of drills: drills which produce rock chips, and drills which produce core samples.

The pile driver includes a mechanical device utilized to drive the piles into the soil to offer foundational support for the buildings or other structures.
A classical kind of pile driver is a huge weight that is placed between the guides so that it has the ability to slide down and up freely within one single line. It's placed on a pile. This weight is increased, which might include the utilization of manual labour, diesel, steam or hydraulics. While the weight gets to its highest part it's then smashed and released onto the pile so it can drive it within the ground.
Pile driving equipment that was ancient utilized animal or manual labor in order to lift huge weights, typically by ways of pulleys, in order to drop weights onto the pile's end. Pile driving equipment these days, utilizes several ways to guide the pile and increase the weight.
Pile driving equipment has been assisting construction firms in the development of massive projects in the modern area for over 150 years. Though the concept of driving piles into the ground for the purpose of creating a stable and reinforced foundation has not changed, the evolution of the machinery utilizing different power sources and techniques is a credit to the intelligence of engineers and designers who constantly look to improve processes. |

Driving different pile types |
| |
Driving concrete piles
A typical setup for driving concrete piles embodies a pile driving helmet in which a wooden pile cushion is placed. On the hammer side of the hammer a wooden cushion is covered by a steel impact plate. Upon impact, the steel plate transfers the blow to the stiff wood cushion and the relatively soft wooden pile cushion that transfers the blow to the concrete pile. The wooden pile cushion needs to be replaced regularly as heat is built up inside the cushion. It can even catch fire if it is not replaced on time. |

| |
Introduction to Geogrids
A GEOGRID is a planar structure formed by a regular network of tensile elements with apertures of sufficient size to allow interlocking with surrounding soil, rock earth. They are also characterized by high dimensional stability, high strength and high tensile modulus at very low elongation (achieved by patented processes of orientation of polymer molecules). They are of two varieties, viz., uniaxially oriented and biaxially oriented with enhanced strength in one or both the directions. They are primarily used for soil reinforcement.

Chemical Admixtures |
| |
Chemical admixtures are the ingredients in concrete other than portland cement, water, and aggregate that are added to the mix immediately before or during mixing. Producers use admixtures primarily to reduce the cost of concrete construction; to modify the properties of hardened concrete; to ensure the quality of concrete during mixing, transporting, placing, and curing; and to overcome certain emergencies during concrete operations.
Successful use of admixtures depends on the use of appropriate methods of batching and concreting. Most admixtures are supplied in ready-to-use liquid form and are added to the concrete at the plant or at the jobsite. Certain admixtures, such as pigments, expansive agents, and pumping aids are used only in extremely small amounts and are usually batched by hand from premeasured containers. |

Convey the best with least efforts |
| |
Belt conveyors are used to transfer concrete horizontally and limited distances vertically. Conveyors made expressly for handling concrete are relatively inexpensive and may eliminate the need for other more expensive auxiliary equipment such as cranes. They are particularly useful in areas such as tunnels where space is limited and are widely used on building construction, especially large floor slabs and bridge decks. In massive construction, such as mat foundations, dams and power plants which require large quantities of concrete, conveyors are advantageous because of their placing capacities.
Conveyors are designed and built to accommodate a variety of spans, cantilevered distances and loads. Typical conveyer lengths are 25,30,50, and 60 feet . Job characteristics are the most important consideration in choosing conveyor length Since some are made of aluminum and others are also made up of steel. The weight of Conveyor vary. |

PORTS IN INDIA.- Gate way to prosperity ! |
| |
India has a long coastline, spanning 7516.6 kilometres, forming one of the biggest peninsulas in the world. It is serviced by 13 major ports (12 government and 1 corporate) and 187 notified minor and intermediate ports. The latest addition to major ports is Port Blair on June 2010, the 13th port in the country.
Major ports handled over 74% of all cargo traffic in 2007. However, the words "major", "intermediate" and "minor", do not have a strict association with the traffic volumes served by these ports. As an example, Mundra Port, a newly developed minor port in the state of Gujarat registered cargo traffic of around 28.8 million tonnes per annum during the financial year of 2008, which is higher than that of many major ports.
