Why hire Delta Inspection Services NJ, Inc. for your home inspection? The Delta Advantage is why! The quality of your inspection is only as good as the inspector you hire. Delta's licensed structural engineers can diagnose and address most structural concerns at the time of the inspection. This greatly improves the overall quality of the inspection and often eliminates the need for a second inspection. Approximately 25% of Delta's work involves inspecting structural issues that other home inspectors did not feel qualified to evaluate. When delta's engineers inspect a house, there won't be a need to hire a structural engineer. This will save you money (often $500 for an engineer's evaluation) and time (more time is needed to schedule the extra inspection). Our in-depth, comprehensive service is a Delta feature which many of our competitors cannot offer.

NYC DEP Breaks Ground on $1.9 Billion Kensico Water Tunnel in Westchester NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) broke ground on July 23 on the $1.9-billion Kensico to Eastview tunneling and facilities upgrade project in the Town of Mount Pleasant that will improve the operational flexibility of the drinking water supply for more than 9 million people in the City and throughout southern Westchester County. The project will be New York City’s largest water-supply tunneling effort in Westchester County since the 1940s, and its construction is projected to create thousands of jobs for the local Building Trades. The Kensico-Eastview Connection (KEC)—will be a two-mile-long tunnel between Kensico Reservoir and the Catskill-Delaware Ultraviolet Light Disinfection Facility (CDUV) in Eastview. The new tunnel will provide an additional conveyance between these vital components of the water supply system, giving DEP the ability to take other facilities out of service for periodic maintenance and inspection. “Creating additional redundancy in our vital water supply system is an essential investment for the long-term resilience of the remarkable feat of engineering that provides more than nine million New Yorkers with a reliable supply of pristine tap water,” DEP Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala said. “This project will help us fulfill our commitment to providing consistent and reliable delivery of the highest-quality water to New York City and the growing population centers in Westchester County.” The first phase of construction includes site preparation at the DEP campus adjacent to Kensico Reservoir, followed by the digging of two large shafts, 400-500 feet deep, the tunneling between the two shafts, and the addition of several new facilities and upgrades at the Kensico campus. All phases of the project are expected to span a 10-year period with the new tunnel coming fully online by 2035. Kensico Reservoir is located north of White Plains and is a vital component of New York City’s Catskill-Delaware Water Supply System. The reservoir stores approximately 30 billion gallons of water at full capacity. DEP draws about 1 billion gallons of drinking water from Kensico Reservoir each day to meet the demand of 8.6 million residents in the five boroughs of New York City and approximately 500,000 residents of Westchester County whose communities are connected to the City’s system. As it moves toward the city, drinking water that leaves Kensico Reservoir is also treated at CDUV. The KEC tunnel will stretch the approximately two miles from Kensico Reservoir to CDUV in Eastview, the largest such facility in the world. The finished tunnel will be 27 feet in diameter and run 400-500 feet below ground with a capacity to carry as much as 2.6 billion gallons of water each day. #kensicoreservoir #westchestercounty

We are very excited about the progress our team is making at our project in Deep River, CT. It’s a special project for a few reasons, first because it’s yet another opportunity for us to collaborate with a municipality in our home state. We’ve successfully designed and executed more than 30 installations for cities and towns across Connecticut and it’s always gratifying to help town leaders find new ways to save taxpayer dollars while strengthening their community’s commitment to sustainability. We are proud that this project is being built with American-made solar panels, domestically sourced and manufactured in Perrysburg, Ohio. The project is using just over 1,450 modules manufactured by First Solar, #AmericasSolarCompany. Our team has developed projects across the country, and we’re excited to see domestic solar manufacturing capabilities growing and gaining momentum.   Lastly, our Deep River project is one of several projects we’re currently developing that are located on landfills. These projects take underutilized parcels and give them a new lease on life as sites that generate 100% zero-carbon, clean energy. The 675 kW DC system in Deep River will generate 954,505 kWh annually, enough to offset emissions from 132 average homes for a year. Once completed, the project will offset 667 metric tons of carbon every year, the equivalent of the greenhouse gas emissions from nearly 75,000 gallons of gasoline. It’s a great project and our team has been hard at work getting the panels installed on racks and continuing the construction process that will lead to energization in late 2024. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #Connecticut #SolarPower #LandReclamation #ClimateAction
