Yet another accomplished project, entailing the supply of AsbestosSafe primer for a 30,000m2 space within Consanie Business Park in Cape Town. The proprietors of the property carefully assessed the replacement costs in comparison to encapsulation expenses for their asbestos. Choosing encapsulation proved to be a financially prudent decision, constituting less than one-third of the replacement expenses and substantially prolonging the operational life of their asset. An often overlooked factor is the expense associated with downtime, which can sometimes surpass the replacement cost. In this case, however, there was no downtime.

Our very active Gypsum Committee met last week! It was a fantastic meeting with record attendance. Check out highlights from their discussions. CDRA members are encouraged to attend committee meetings to get the most out of their memberships. Join a committee today! https://lnkd.in/g3gxBCdz • Heidi Sanborn, MPA, Executive Director of the National Stewardship Action Council, informed us that legislation mandating gypsum drywall recycling is expected to be introduced during the 2025 session. The CDRA Gypsum Committee has offered to assist in drafting this legislation. • During a call with the EPA, CDRA representatives discussed the draft of WARM v16. The CDRA submitted general comments, along with the University of Florida's report on estimating potential GHG emissions, energy savings, and economic impacts of drywall lifecycle, sponsored by the CDRA. • The Committee suggested, and the board approved, initiating a pioneering Life Cycle Analysis for Gypsum Drywall recycling. Determining the optimal waste management strategy for a product or material isn't always straightforward for engineers and policymakers. Therefore, a life cycle analysis is crucial for predicting future outcomes based on today's decisions. #gypsum #CDRA #construction #demolition #recycling

Great to see Glencar picking up this project after the unfortunate demise of Readie. More continued evidence that there is great energy within the #ukconstruction market. How are you seeing the #ukconstruction industry at the moment? #ukconstruction #projectawards #maincontractors #nsrassociates

Aluminium lasts for twice as long as uPVC, meaning one installation cost, instead of two, and no ongoing leak maintenance. If the gutter is at height there's also the cost of access, which can be much higher than the cost of the actual gutter. That is why Councils and Housing Associations are moving to seamless aluminium. Give Gutter Science a call to chat about the benefits or arrange a quote for supply and fit in Central Scotland. 📞 0330 122 6231 #housing #housebuilding #housingassociations

Governor Shapiro: $194 Million Investment In Water Infrastructure Projects Coming To 20 Counties Across The Commonwealth   Harrisburg, PA – On January 24th, Office of Governor Josh Shapiro announced the investment of $194.3 million for 28 drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and non-point source projects across 20 counties through PENNVEST (PA Infrastructure Investment Authority). The projects include replacing lead or other corrosive pipes, rehabilitating aging systems, upgrading service capabilities, extending service to more communities, and reducing environmental contaminants through the compliance with current regulatory levels and agricultural Best Management Practices (BMP's).    The funding for these projects originates from a combination of state funds approved by voters, Growing Greener funds, Marcellus Legacy funds, the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA) stimulus funds, the federal grant awards to PENNVEST from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments, and the recycled loan repayments from previous PENNVEST funding awards.   "This is a historic moment for Pennsylvania's water and sewer systems, as the federal funding for water projects will help us make meaningful investments in communities across the Commonwealth," said PENNVEST Chairman Dr. Brian Regli. "As part of the Shapiro Administration's commitment to increase every Pennsylvanian's access to clean air and pure water, PENNVEST's goal is to reach every potential entity who may be unaware this financial assistance exists and assist them in accessing available funding through the application process."     Read the Full Article: https://lnkd.in/gjAKMZnK Learn about ChlorTainer Funding Solutions: https://lnkd.in/gyebKSMU   Follow #ChlorTainer for more Water Industry & Chemical Industry content.   #WaterSector #EPA #WaterCrisis #Funding #WaterIndustry #WaterSecurity
