Ensuring safety for traffic movement on highways and road systems is a challenging task. With accidents increasing at an alarming rate each day, road safety becomes inevitable. Empowering roads with proper safety barriers help minimise the extent of risk and damage to vehicles and passengers by absorbing the impact energy during accidents. This is where the need for a crash barrier arises.

Crash barriers actually serve as the safety measure for motorists, pedestrians preventing roadside hazards. While most of the people might think as simple fences that prevents vehicles going off the roads and highways, but they are highly engineered and have five major advantages that are listed below:

Enhancing Safety on the Roads:
These barriers are used to protect traffic from hazards such as steep slopes, sharp bends, etc. that might otherwise cause rollover crashes. Crash barriers are designed to increase the safety on roads and highways. They also prevent vehicles from entering opposite lanes thereby lowering the risk of dangerous crashes.

Help in Minimizing the Impact of Collisions:
Generally, during a highway collision, the vehicle tends to go sideways. The tires of the vehicle go and hit the barrier which then redirects the vehicle back onto the road. This phenomenon often helps in minimizing the damage to the vehicle.

Need Very Less Maintenance:
In comparison to other forms of road safety barriers, crash barriers need very less maintenance. Designed with robust engineering, the crash barriers can withstand high impacts.

High Visibility:
Accidents on highways mostly during night time when the visibility is low. The crash barriers were made with metal and highly visible even during the night. Thereby very effective in avoiding accidents and also prevents vehicles from going off the road.

Strong and Durable:
Made tough, the crash barriers can withstand harsh weather conditions and last for as long as 30 years and more.

Based on shape, size and components used, there are two types of crash barriers for highways. They are the W-beam and Thrie-beam Crash Barriers. These can be categorized into:

• Single sided crash Barrier
• Single sided Double beam crash Barrier
• Thrie-Beam single sided crash Barrier
• Double sided single W Beam Barrier
• Single sided Thrie-Beam crash barrier with End section
• Single sided crash barrier with End section

While selecting the best crash barrier, the following factors should be kept in mind:

• The installation requirement
• The flexibility of the chosen barrier
• The barrier terminal treatment
• The required length
• The transition of one type of barrier to another

In addition to keeping these factors in mind, the barriers should always conform to the International specifications like AASHTO M 180 Guardrail, Euro norm (EN 1317–1&2), Indian Road Congress Standards (IRC), etc. If the product adheres to these norms, it is assured that they are manufactured with high grade quality of raw materials that provide superior strength and stability.

HDPE pipes are flexible plastic pipes that are mainly used for industrial and agricultural sectors to transfer fluid or gases. These are the perfect replacements for age old concrete or steel pipelines. Made from high-density polyethylene, these are highly impermeable. This quality makes it suitable for high pressure pipelines.

HDPE has multiple applications. They find use in water and gas mains, sewer mains, rural irrigation, fire system supply lines, drainage pipes and many more. These pipes can be melted, reformed which makes it rugged, flexible and long-lasting.

Due to some inherent features, HDPE pipes are best suited for agriculture and irrigation applications. The toughness and resistance to strong chemicals and their resistance to corrosion are some of its major features. They along with factors like low weight, cost-effectiveness and durability have contributed to its ever growing need.

HDPE pipes can be bent on site to a radius twenty-five times more than a normal pipe at or below 20 degree centigrade of ambient temperature. This feature leads to major cost savings. On the other hand, because of their high impact resistance and flexibility, they are suitable to be installed in soils that also include earth-quake prone areas. HDPE pipes ensure very high flow. Unlike ferrous piping solutions, these do not develop rust or corrode. Hence, these never affect the flow capabilities by building up internal resistance while fluids or water pass through them.

No piping fatigue: HDPE pipes are outstandingly fatigue resistant. Unlike plastic pipes, they are capable of handling the occasional and recurring surge of water flow that is very common in water distribution systems. These pipes are ductile but they are not rigid.

No water loss: HDPE pipes are leak-free joints. While other piping systems are highly susceptible to water leakage due to the types of joints that they use, HDPE pipes can be joined by heat. This results in permanent leak free joints that help us save our most precious resource.

Convenient installation: The flexibility of HDPE pipes, along with their tensile strength , makes the perfect choice for trenchless installation. This technology helps them in getting installed under the river, lakes, ponds, creeks with minimal public disruption.

High durability: HDPE pipes do not corrode or rust. This extends their life and results in long term cost savings. With a service of ranging from 50-100 years, HDPE pipes become the ideal solution depending on usage, installation and project design.

Environment –friendly: Apart from the above mentioned physical attributes, HDPE pipes have minimal impact on the environment. They do not emit hazardous levels of toxins even during the manufacturing process. Also, these can be easily recycled back into non-pressure piping applications.

The outstanding performance of HDPE pipes ensures that consumers get clean and safe potable water. While other pipes have high chances of having leaks that lead to more usage of electricity to process and pump water, HDPE ensures zero leak. This reduces the need for electricity which in turn helps the consumers in saving utility costs. These, together, make HDPE the ideal choice for agricultural and irrigation applications.

At Utkarsh, we understand the essence of renewable resource solutions through which a sustainable approach in everyday living can be adopted. Utkarsh India, being the leaders in solar lighting, offer street light poles with mounts for solar panels that are engineered as per your customization.  

High Mast Lighting Systems, also known as HMLs, are usually used to provide light to large areas like large warehouses, shipyards, highways, parking lots, stadiums, etc. High mast lights are usually installed on 40ft-150ft tall poles and four to six lights are installed on each pole. High mast lighting is one of the most preferred ways of illuminating big areas. These lights are mounted on considerable heights to illuminate large areas uniformly.

Common Advantages of High Mast Lighting Systems

The piping industry is highly undervalued. The quality, safety, and performance provided by such an industry help to play a crucial part in safeguarding the environment along with the lives of people. CPVC pipes and Fittings produced by Utkarsh India, one of the premier CPVC pipes manufacturers in India; are manufactured using high-quality plasticizers, which helps the pipes with utmost rigidity and provides sturdiness.

What is CPVC?

Features provided by CPVC pipes and Fittings of Utkarsh’s

Types of CPVC Pipe and Fittings

List of CPVC fittings as follows:

The agricultural sector relies heavily on drainage and irrigation channels made of PVC pipes and fittings. Rigidly built PVC pipes are essential when the soil is deficient in absorption capacity or when water levels are high due to salinity levels on the land. This is because PVC pipes have a smooth lining that ensures water travels smoothly to its intended destination with a minimum of clogging as compared to pipes made out of similar materials like copper and clay.

With all of that in mind, let us move straight to the core of this blog.

Use of PVC Pipes in Agricultural Industry

Below are just some of the ways to use PVC pipes in your agricultural facility:

PVC Sprinklers

Large-scale water supply systems rely heavily on PVC pipes. They can be mounted aboveground and linked to the main water source and sprinklers. When buried as deep as 10",  ¾” PVC pipes make excellent irrigation laterals.

Drip Irrigation

A popular watering method, drip irrigation involves punching holes through the hose to control the flow of water. Its popularity stems from the fact that it provides sustainability to your agricultural facility by conserving water. This framework is perfect for little-to-medium-sized gardens and enables each plant inside that region to get an unfaltering stock of water delivered to the roots. Using PVC pipes in this system is feasible because they're flexible, so they won't tear once they've been punctured.

Vertical Garden

There are various ways of forming a vertical garden using different sizes of PVC pipes.  A small PVC pipe with an irrigation line is inserted inside a larger PVC pipe with the pot of soil and the plants.

Hydroponic garden

Water is supplemented with nutrients to support seedling growth in hydroponic gardens. It is also referred to as an active system and is a type of hydroponic farming that reliably produces more while conserving water. PVC pipes hold plants in mid-air, and water containing nutrients flow through the pipes continuously. Since PVC pipes are lightweight and lack toxicity, they are apt for this system.

Final words

Many agriculture facilities utilize agriculture PVC pipes and fittings as water delivery systems. Their corrosion resistance and ability to stabilize UV rays make them an ideal choice for any farming operation. PVC pipes play a crucial role in large-scale agricultural facilities because they make irrigation more sustainable and efficient. Small agricultural spaces or even home gardens can be irrigated using PVC pipes.

A transmission tower supports every high voltage transmission line. A transmission tower (also known as a power transmission tower, power tower, or electricity pylon) is a tall structure (usually a steel lattice tower) used to support the high-voltage conductors of overhead power lines. The transmission towers differ from conventional power poles since they transport bulk electricity from multiple high voltage lines over long distances as opposed to single poles that provide local delivery.

Types of Transmission Towers

In terms of their technical background, the following is a list of transmission tower types.

Let's take a look at each of them one by one:

Suspension Towers 

High voltage suspension towers are designed to withstand only the weight of the conductor when they are positioned in a straight line. Conductors on suspension towers can be held in place by I strings, V strings, or a combination of both. Suspension transmission towers run on straight-line routes where there is less than a 5-degree deviation in angle. 

Transposition Towers

They are most common in three-phase line systems and are often used to support and maintain long transmission lines where the weight in the centre of the span puts significant stress on the structure. A transposition tower is supported by a body, a cage, and a peak. Conductors and lines are positioned at a distance that prevents contact between the cross-arms of the towers.

Tension/Angle Towers

They support the directional change of transmission lines in turning points where the angle of deviation is more than 5 degrees. The tower is reinforced with anchors to counteract pressure exerted against the angle. The transmission line that connects two angle towers is called a section. The length of the section depends on geographic location, easements, possible placement possibilities, and the ultimate destination. 

Special Towers

Custom towers are built when conditions dictate a significant change in angle or when a substantial amount of additional support is needed based on environmental factors. Among the factors that affect transmission tower construction are heavy wind, porous soil, freezing rain, and others. In addition, these towers are used in areas involving long-span river crossing, valley crossing, power line crossings above existing lines, power line crossings below existing lines (Gantry type structures), tapping existing lines, unique termination towers and the like.

Final words

Power outages and blackouts disrupt people's everyday lives and mess with the productivity of industries dependent on electricity since power transmission is compromised. Thus, proper transmission towers need to be in place to prevent power cuts and faulty transmissions that hamper a country's economy. 

Utkarsh India manufactures Powergrid approved Transmission Line Towers ranging between 66 kV to 765 kV. Our full-range-cum-diverse product basket comprises CHT/VHT/UHT HVDV to AC (single, double, multi-circuit) transmission towers suitable for Twin, Quad and Hex conductor configuration to accommodate both AC lines and DVDC lines.

Therefore high mast lighting solutions, also known as HMLs, are typically used in large public or commercial areas like warehouses, shipyards, railway yards, highways, parking lots, stadiums, etc. High mast lighting poles are an effective solution for improving the illumination of dark and concealed areas, ensuring maximum safety.

One of the renowned high mast light pole manufacturers, we at Utkarsh India, believe that it is our responsibility to inform our audience about the different types of high mast poles and their uses.

So, let's get down to business without further delay.

Stadium Mast: As outdoor sports and high-definition sports television broadcasts grow in popularity, sports venues need to be equipped with high-quality lighting. Fans and players alike benefit from optimum lighting. It is critical that players see clearly as the game picks up speed. As fan expectations rise, so do ticket prices, and the quality of the broadcast and viewing experience must always exceed the standards of high-definition broadcasts and technologies. Therefore, stadium masts are installed in stadiums, fields, and playgrounds to provide lighting during the evening hours.

Flag Mast: Whether you raise your flag once or raise and lower it each day, a flag mast is essential. Whether it is a government facility, college or university campus, sports venue, commercial enterprise, park or even for personal use, a custom-engineered flag mast that is easy to use, backed by decades of pole design and manufacturing experience, is indispensable. Tapered flag mast designs reduce wind-induced damage and prolong the life and durability of the mast.

Installing signage masts near high traffic roadways provides optimum visibility and leaves a lasting impression on customers' minds.

Solar Mast: In light of non-renewable resources' limited and scarce nature, it is our responsibility to conserve them. Solar high mast provides light to a wide area without using conventional electricity or requiring costly electrical networks. It is advisable to use solar masts in areas where electricity is not readily accessible or where saving electricity is the highest priority. Solar masts are more reliable than conventional lighting systems since they are shock, vibration, and impact resistant.

High Mast Lighting Systems: High mast lighting is a type of site light fixture raised high to minimize ground-level obstructions and create uniform illumination across a massive space. The use of high mast lighting systems minimizes shadows that may result from using shorter poles. High mast lighting plays an exclusive role in facilitating night-time travel and transportation, citizen engagement in social gatherings and sports/recreation activities, around-the-clock industrial production, safety and guidance of traffic, and security of commercial, residential and public facilities and properties. Utkarsh India is among the leading high mast light pole manufacturers.

GI Pipes or Galvanized Iron Pipes are widely used for the purpose of conveying raw water and distribution of treated water in many rural water supply schemes, where the requirement of water is limited.

It is dipped into zinc for protection against corrosion and they are manufactured using mild steel strips of Low Carbon Steel Coils. The steel strips are passed through a series of fin rolls to achieve a circular shape. The slit ends of the strips are then welded together by passing an electric current of high frequency across the edges. The welded steel pipes are then passed through sizing sections where any dimensional issues are corrected and are then cut into desired lengths by automatic cutting machines. Lastly, these are pressure tested for any leaks randomly.

GI pipes are categorized into light, medium and heavy. Here is how you can determine –

• Light (Class A) - Marked in yellow color for identification.

• Medium (Class B) - Marked in blue color for identification.

• Heavy (Class C) - Marked in red color for identification.

We will, therefore, take a close look at the Jal Minar Scheme in today's blog.

Official data indicates that Jal Minar Scheme construction commenced in April 2018 and that, so far, 1197 water storing structures have been constructed for use in villages and anganwadis at an estimated cost of Rs. 2.5 lakh each.

The District Rural Development Authority of Latehar district in Jharkhand started this solar-based water supply scheme to make clean water more accessible, especially in remote regions of the district. The Jal Minar scheme aims to provide rural communities access to clean water that can be used for drinking and other domestic purposes.

The Solar water pumping system operates on the principle of PV (Photovoltaics) technology. It comprises a solar panel array, a solar charge controller (MPPT), an electric motor, a water pump, pump cables, and a water storage tank.

Solar panels convert radiant solar energy into electricity.

The controller serves as an interface between the solar panels and the pumps. A low voltage protection feature of the controller shuts off the pump system when the voltage drops below or rises above the range of the pump's operating voltage.

Motors can either be DC or AC. The motors provide power to drive the pumps, which deliver water from the source (open well, bore well, stream, pond, canal) to the final destination (storage tank), using centrifugal or suction force. The extension from each Jal Minar unit provides households with the convenience of running tap water, thus effectively meeting the growing demand for domestic water supply.

How has Jal Minar transformed lives for the better?

Latehar's solar-powered lift drinking water scheme of Rs. 617.50 lakhs is indeed a milestone and is changing the face of the town. Let us see how:

Jal Minar is ideal for rural areas owing to its low operating cost and maintenance.

Since water supply from Jal Minar is not allowed to be used for irrigation and livestock, several Indian farmers are using it as an alternative source of income. It is possible to sell surplus energy to the grid.

Before, women had to travel several kilometers to fetch water from boreholes or tube wells. As Jal Minar has improved social cohesion within the community, reduced migration out of the community, enhanced community interaction in social events owing to time availability, it has certainly contributed to social development. Consequently, women in these communities have more time to devote to educational, recreational, or food gathering activities. Having access to safe running water has increased women's awareness of the need for personal hygiene, sanitation, and health.

Schools and anganwadis are also benefiting from reliable and clean running water with the installation of Jal Minars.

Mukhiyas will be engaged at the grassroots to maintain, sustain and build awareness, to make the project sustainable.

Jal Sahiyas is vested with the responsibility of maintaining each Jal Minar and ensuring there is no wastage of water. Each household will also be asked for maintenance fees.

Jal Sahiyas will receive a monthly remuneration from the district administration for their efforts.

The use of an efficient water tank structure results in less time spent for the same amount of water that would otherwise be acquired while obtaining water from a similar power source.

Utkarsh manufactures 5000 & 2000 litre galvanized steel Jal Minars and 10,000 litres of ungalvanized steel Jal Minars. In addition to tolerating water stress, they can withstand extreme weather conditions as well.

Scaffolds made of steel pipes are widely used in construction, maintenance, and repair work.

A scaffold with steel pipes is mainly used for providing a platform on which workers can work at different heights or for lifting materials for immediate use. In what ways are steel pipes beneficial for scaffolding?

Below you will find a few paragraphs dedicated to the benefits of steel scaffolding

• Easy to assemble and dismantle

It only takes a few minutes to assemble steel scaffolds despite the building's height. This is because steel may seem heavy at first, but they are designed to be lightweight. Steel scaffolds can be erected in a significantly quicker timeframe, and when a construction project is complete, they are much easier to dismantle. You stand to gain a great deal from this benefit because you can work more efficiently and meet your deadlines which equals improved time management.

• Standard geometry

One of the best things about steel scaffolding is the ability to use standard geometrical pieces. In turn, this facilitates a fast and easy construction process. Also, they make it easier to achieve and maintain the correct 90-degree angles.

• Ecologically friendly

Timber scaffolds contribute to deforestation. Steel, however, is considered a sustainable material since it preserves nonrenewable resources and reduces the waste stream. Even better, scaffolds made of steel pipes may be repurposed.

• Construction flexibility

The design and size variations of these scaffolds are one of the advantages. They can be erected at great heights, as opposed to timber scaffolds. It is also possible to assemble them into a single scaffold, or a double scaffold, depending on the weight of your construction equipment.

• Enhanced carrying capacity

Sturdy steel scaffolds can easily be transported to different construction sites. It is also easy to pack them on a truck, making them portable in large quantities.

• High Performance

Heavy loads can be carried comfortably by steel scaffolds without shaking, breaking, or bending, thanks to their incredible strength. Regardless of the height at which the scaffold is constructed, its load-bearing capacity will not be threatened.

• Assures a stable platform

Several construction tasks require dexterity on the part of workers. Steel scaffolds can be supported on all types of soil. Even in the face of unfavorable weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, and severe earthquakes, their position and state remain intact.

Additional benefits of steel scaffolding include its resistance to fire, long lifecycle, and low acquisition cost.

Final Words

It is imperative to have a reliable and sturdy foundation. The reason for having steel scaffolding at your construction site is to enable your construction workers to work in a safe and comfortable environment and thus enhance their operational effectiveness.

Therefore, it is prudent to consider a company's reputation, experience, and reliability before investing in its steel scaffolding.

Check if the steel pipes manufacturer and supplier are ISO-certified to ensure that they adhere to quality standards. Product certifications ensure that products are safe and durable and preserve the integrity of products.

Final Thoughts

Having a pipe manufacturer who cannot get your parts on time can completely wreck your timelines.

Early interactions should give you a sense of the nuances. Is the response time quick? Is the team known for going above and beyond? At first, these things may seem inconsequential, but as projects progress, they become increasingly significant.

All in all, we hope these simple tips will get you on your way to picking out the best steel pipes supplier and manufacturer in India when you need one.

You have access to fresh, pressurized water just by turning on your kitchen faucet, turning on your shower, or flushing the toilet. Have you ever wondered how? The reason is that the elevated water tank structure results in increased water pressure as the water is forced out of the storage tank.

You have nothing to worry about if you are confused by the above statement.

The purpose of this blog is to cover the meaning, components, working principles and purpose of Water tank Structures.

Let's get started right away.

What is a water tank structure?

It consists of a container or a mini reservoir that can collect a measured quantity of water to be accessed at a later time and then be stored for subsequent use.

Water collected in the tank is utilized by both residential and commercial consumers, as well as large-scale industrial and municipal enterprises. Furthermore, they are required to store water to meet the building's firefighting requirements.

Depending on the application and daily water demand, they can come in an array of shapes, sizes, specifications, and configurations and are used for a wide range of purposes in the water treatment industry.

The best water tank structures are typically equipped with UV inhibitors, preventing sunlight from facilitating the growth of bacteria and algae. What are the components of a water tank structure?

• Manholes – A sufficient number of manholes should be available for repair and access. Manholes should be constructed of corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., cast iron, reinforced concrete, steel fibre reinforced concrete, galvanized steel, high-density polyethene, fibreglass-reinforced plastic, etc) approved by the authority. They must be equipped with locking mechanisms to prevent misuse and tampering.

• Ladders – Tanks with a depth exceeding 900 mm shall be equipped with corrosion-resistant ladders to permit access to the bottom.

• Overflow pipe — Each tank shall have a pipe terminating above ground level to function as an overflow warning pipe. Normally the overflow pipe size shall be one size higher than the inlet pipe. A large inlet pipe may require two or more overflow pipes of the equivalent cross-section.

• Vent pipes – Tanks more than 5000 litres in capacity must be fitted with vent pipes to prevent pressure buildup in the tank.

• Connection of overflow and scour pipe – Tank overflow and scour pipes should never be connected to any drain, gully trap, or manhole to avoid backflow and contamination. Overflow and vent pipes must be fitted with a brass grating that is mosquito-proof to prevent the entry of vermin, and other insects. How does a water tank structure work?

High-pressure motor pumps provide water from the well or another water source into the tank. Water accumulates in the tank until it is full. The water storage tank provides you with immediate access to water whenever you need it, whether it is to fill a glass up with crystal clear water, take a bath, or irrigate a field. It is because the water tank structure holds clean water from the reverse osmosis system until water demand is initiated inside the house or business. What is the purpose of a water tank structure?

A water tank structure is elevated high enough to generate water pressure, whether it is in the plains or highlands. This is because gravity alone can trigger water pressure with the same efficiency as large water booster pumps, so you do not need to finance massive and expensive water pumps or their fuel to power them.

A water tank structure is used in many applications, including household water storage, commercial food and beverage preparation, agriculture and irrigation, fire suppression, and industrial manufacturing for a stable water supply.

Conclusion

We at Utkarsh India manufacture galvanized water tank structures made of high-quality steel. The zinc coating makes these structures durable, rust-resistant, and long-lasting.

Their high-voltage cables connect the wind farms or power plants to the source substations and satellite substations in nearby populated areas.

According to their intended use, transmission towers are classified as electric towers or cell phone towers.

Electric companies often consider transmission towers to be one of their most critical commercial properties.

What does a transmission tower do?

Transmission towers are structures built to support overhead power lines, ground cables and electrical conductors. Besides carrying electricity across hundreds of kilometres, they also provide strength and prevent the cables from sagging and getting contaminated.

The use of transmission towers is no longer limited to transmitting electrical power over long distances but can be extrapolated for the transmission and reception of radio, mobile telephony, broadcasting, and other electromagnetic signals as well.

Many of them are also utilized as weather data collectors. You may see cup-shaped anemometers indicating the wind speed or other meteorological equipment spinning.

You may LIke: 4 Different Varieties Of Transmission Towers With Respect To Their Applications

Why are transmission towers important?

The following points demonstrate the significance of transmission towers:

They maintain the flow of power reliably and safely.

Direct transfers enable the delivery of power through substations at the lowest possible energy loss to different types of customers.

The lights on transmission towers help to identify their locations when travelling at night.

Electricity does not flow through towers themselves unless lightning strikes the wire running along the top. In the event of lightning strikes, the cable absorbs or deflects the energy, and it is safely conveyed to the ground through the tower. It is for this reason that birds sitting on transmission tower cables do not die of electric shocks.

How are transmission towers constructed?

A lattice pole construction provides a sturdy structure to withstand even the roughest weather conditions without causing damage.

Power lines with higher voltages require more space between each cable and other objects, enabling vehicles, people, and other equipment can move freely underneath them. Consequently, most of the transmission towers stand 55 feet to 150 feet high.

If the tower is being constructed for transmission of electrical power, wood or concrete may be used, and if the tower is being constructed for telecommunication or radio, metals such as ductile iron or galvanized steel can be used. Transmission towers for cellular networks are thin and supported via long wires called guy wires. These towers have different shapes, heights, and mechanical strength depending on the stresses they endure.

The high-voltage, steel-reinforced aluminium cables are insulated with porcelain or toughened glass. For efficient transmission of electricity, they are always arranged in groups of three.

The Bottom Line

Please take a moment to consider the following cautionary note. Whenever inspecting transmission towers, remember that the higher the pole, the greater the voltage. So never attempt to climb or get near overhead lines, as doing so can cause severe shocks, burns or even death. Additionally, make sure to keep a safe distance when you are looking at them.

To start with, the primary difference between CPVC and PVC pipes is the range of temperatures each is capable of resisting. CPVC can handle temperatures up to 200° Fahrenheit, while PVC can maximum go up to 140° Fahrenheit. If the temperature exceeds what’s mentioned, both CPVC and PVC will begin to soften, increasing the risk of joints and pipes failing, and therefore lead to a failure of the plumbing system.

• PVC and CPVC are inherently inert to most acids, bases and salts, as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons. This can extend their service life often for years or decades longer. Chemical resistance is a clear advantage for both CPVC and PVC. Though, it must also be noted that there is a difference in sulfuric content in both the materials and that makes CPVC slightly superior to PVC.

• CPVC and PVC pipes have the same pressure rating at 73°F (22.8°C), but it must be noted that as the temperature increases, CPVC maintains its pressure rating better than PVC. While PVC can still be used for applications with pressure at 130°F (54.4°C), the material can withstand significantly less pressure at high temperatures (above 73°F) than CPVC.

That's where this nugget of knowledge comes in. With the help of the high mast light pole manufacturers, you'll learn all there is to know about pole lights.

Making the correct choice of determining the light pole's height is crucial and available in variable sizes and Heights. This fundamental task is taken care of by an engineer conducting a survey and confining the perfect height needed for the best possible light distribution across the area. The height of the pole affects the intensity of light, the uniformity of brightness, the area covered, and the relative glare of the unit. Higher placed units provide lower footcandle levels, which offer more coverage, greater uniformity, and a decrease in the glare.

When looking for energy-efficient Pole Lights, consider lumens rather than watts when making your selection. As opposed to watts, Lumens quantifies the quantity of light produced rather than how much energy is needed to illuminate a device. That is to say, the higher the number of lumens, and the brighter the light source. When making purchases, customers should think about how much light the device will provide rather than how much energy it will use (lumens).

You May Like: Applications and Benefits of Using High Mast Lighting

Regardless of the weather conditions, commercial Pole Lights can withstand the elements, such as snow and ice. Hence the consultation with authorities and the gathering of information about the site's wind speeds are essential. With this information, the proper size poles may be installed. Lighting pole manufacturers have an accurate schematic method to judge the correct Pole light according to the weather condition.

Users or responsible authorities are needed to choose the kind of mounts that is used according to the application during the planning stage. Pole Mounts are an important component of pole lights since they are fixed where the lights will be placed. Different pole light mounts are often used in various application areas, including direct installation, slip fitter mount, adjustable mount, and universal mount.

In this case, wattage refers to the amount of energy used by the bulb rather than the amount of light it produces. To provide the same level of brightness, energy-efficient lights require fewer watts (lumens).

Local authorities should be consulted to collect accurate data on the wind speed at the project site and install the proper pole size. Wind-induced vibrations (harmonic vibration behaviour) are more likely to occur on wide, flat terrain and necessitate particular attention. Although it is impossible to anticipate when these vibrations will occur, precautions should be taken to reduce the likelihood of harm.

Throughout the years, pole lights have experienced several transformations. Renewable energy sources should be expanded and realistic for everyone as environmental conservation and sustainability is the call of the hour. LED solar lighting systems are an excellent long-term energy-saving option in this situation.

It's impossible to complete something as critical as a mobile tower installation without adhering to the appropriate paperwork and regulations. Only with the explicit authorization of the sanctioning authority, one can install Telecom Towers.

Start following up with the paper trail to obtain permission for a mobile tower installation:

● A strict protocol adhering to the invigilation of the location and nearby businesses is required. For obvious reasons, it is against the law to erect towers close to educational institutions or medical facilities.

● Site plan displaying the whole plot's size and the number and height of buildings on the plot.

● An engineer's certificate of structural stability showing the towers' height is required. The mobile tower's weight should not be a problem for the structure itself.

● Legal occupancy certificate, as well as a certified copy of the building's approved plan

● Documents proving the owner's right to an object are called ownership.

● The applicant and the building owner have consented to the installation, as shown by the lease agreement indicating their agreement.

● Detailed drawing of a tower's foundation and design specifications

● Elevation data, including the height of the tower, should be provided

● If the proposed location has high or low tension electrical wires, paperwork showing the distance between the tower and the lines is required.

● Measured in metric tonnes, the height of the tower

● Accepting responsibility for incidents caused by this installation and pledging to pay appropriate compensation when necessary are both parts of the indemnity contract

● The fire department's letter of approval

● Copies of all required papers showing conformity with the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986

● A Received confirmation from TERM cells or a similar organization that all public places are safe from exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)

The project's timeline calls for a two-year completion timeframe. If the permission isn't finished, it may be extended for a charge if the request is made before the original permit expires. Within a month, the tower's construction permission should be approved. After mobile towers are installed, they must appear within three months in the official gazette. The tower will be demolished if this action is not taken.

The high mast's height ranges between 50 and 150 feet. The High Mast Light Pole is presently the most successful in illuminating vast outdoor areas due to its ability to produce greater brightness levels (highways, railway yards, parking lots, airports, seaports, stadiums, etc.)

Things to consider before buying High Mast Light Pole

Some of them are technical, but here, attention to detail is a must-

Mast Dynamic Loading

For coastal locations, the mast structure must meet the requirements of IS: 875/1987 (Part III) and be capable of withstanding an assumed maximum reaction caused by wind speeds of 180 km/h (50 m/sec; three-second gust) for inland locations, and 225 km per hour (62.5 m/sec; three-second gust) for coastal locations. The mast must have a minimum design life of 25 years. The technique of construction will dampen wind-excited oscillations, and the associated stresses will be adequately accommodated.

Structure

It is required that the High mast has a 20-sided polygonal cross-section with a continuously tapered cross-section, providing a pleasant and attractive look and dependable performance and service. It is required that for wind speeds up to 50 m/sec, the mast's top and bottom A/F dimensions are 200mm and 540mm, respectively, and 200mm and 610mm, respectively, for winds up to 62.5 m/sec. When the wind speed is 50 m/sec, the plate thickness is 5 mm on the bottom and 4 mm on the top; when the wind speed is 62.5 m/sec, the plate thickness is 6 mm on the bottom and 4 mm on the top. If the ship is going 50 mph, the mast flange should be 650 millimeters in diameter and 30 millimeters thick. If the ship is going 62.5 miles per hour, it should be 730 millimeters in diameter and 30 millimeters thick.

Construction

When used in inland areas, the mast's wind resistance must be at least 180 KMPH (50 m/sec), whereas, in coastal sites, it must be at least 225 KMPH (62.5m/sec). Fabricated from BS EN 10025 or equivalent steel plates, with the minimum yield strength of 355 N/Sq.mm and silicon content in steel of less than 0.06 percent, the mast shall be cut and folded to form polygonal sections with 20 sides, then welded with an automatic submerged-arc welding machine. The steel plates shall meet the minimum yield strength requirements.

The mast must not have any onsite welding or bolted joints. Only one longitudinal weld is required on the High Mast Shaft, with no circumferential weld. The overlap distance must be at least 1.5 times the diameter of the hole at which it will be drilled.

An unlaminated and unincluded full-penetrated flange must be supplied on the mast. The base flange's welded connection must be completely developed to meet the section's strength requirements. The base flange must have additional gussets between the bolt holes. The whole manufactured mast must be hot-dipped galvanized on both the inside and outside. The mast's deflection must be kept to less than a quarter of its design height in winds of two-thirds the design speed.

Considering these few specific dynamics will help you narrow down the course of consideration before buying a high mast pole.

One of the many uses for transmission towers is the transmission and reception of many kinds of radio, telecommunications, and electricity-related signals. According to their intended use, transmission towers may be classified as either electric or mobile phone towers. Power transmission towers may be seen throughout the industrialized world.

For electric vehicles, transmission towers act as expressways for large quantities of high-voltage current. In addition to connecting power plants to a series of substations, these transmission towers also link one bulk power area of the grid to another, all while standing 55 feet or higher. Transmission voltages typically range from 23,000 to 765,000 volts. A clothes dryer or stove range will need a lot more electricity than a 120-volt outlet does since they use so much more power. Power lines have a far larger impact than the voltages found in your own house.

Transmission tower conductors — the energized lines — are composed of steel-reinforced aluminum wire and are always in threes. There may be one conductor line, two-conductor lines, or even more than that, depending on the group. Three people will always be in each group, no matter how it is organized (or a multiple of three).

You May Like - A Brief Introduction Of Transmission Towers

When it comes to overhead transmission lines, the most important job they perform is to serve as a reliable and constant source of electricity. However, in extreme weather and natural disasters, overhead lines can go down. During a hurricane or other severe weather event, the design limits of a power line may be exceeded. Transmission tower failure can cause major power outages, resulting in huge financial losses for customers, utilities, and power plants. To avoid and minimize the power supply interruption caused by extreme weather events, transmission system operators (TSOs) should take the necessary precautions.

If there is a major event, utilities and TSOs may have to build temporary transmission towers to bypass damaged transmission towers and operate at the design voltage of the damaged circuit in order to avoid further damage to those towers. Additionally, temporary towers are sometimes used to help construct a new transmission line or replace old ones with new conductors and insulators.

Fiber-optic cables used to transport telecommunication data are sometimes seen bundled with overhead earth wires. Fiber-optic cables, which are mostly composed of glass, cannot carry electricity and are thus unaffected by lightning.

A fiber-optic cable running a few feet below the transmission wires is another option. These cables seem much smaller when compared to the others. With the enormous expenditure required to construct transmission networks, adding communications connections maximizes returns. To run fiber-optic cables, utilities may either own them or lease them to other service providers, such as cable or phone companies.

Transmitter towers that also serve as meteorological data aggregators are quite common. Another piece of meteorological gear may be seen, such as the spinning cups on the anemometer.

For the support of transmission lines, several items are used. In comparison to earlier poles, their physical dimensions are significantly increased (used for distribution purposes). Mechanical strength is increased in transmission towers because of the lattice structure they have. Their lifespan is extended by galvanizing or painting them. These may be utilized for longer spans because of their greater mechanical strength (100 to 300 m). Footings are appropriately earthed at the bottom.

You Know More- How Are PVC Pipe Fittings Made?

The ends of the PVC pipe are seldom threaded. Slip ends are joint on PVC fittings for a variety of reasons. While "slip" implies a slippery connection with PVC, it means the fitting will slide directly on top of the pipe. Even if the connection between a pipe and a slip fitting seems tight, it must be sealed to transmit liquid media. PVC cement binds plastic parts together to form a watertight seal on pipes. PVC primer and PVC cement are required for a reliable seal on a slip fitting. The primer prepares the fittings inside for bonding while the cement ensures that the two parts remain firmly attached.

It is necessary to seal threaded fittings differently. Threaded components are popular because they allow for easy disassembly. PVC cement forms a seal in threaded connections but damages the threads because it binds the pipe together. PTFE thread seal tape works well for sealing threaded connections and keeping them operational. To maintain the connection sealed and lubricated, just wrap it around the male threads a few times. The fittings will still unscrew if you need to return to that junction for repair.

Fixtures for joining PVC piping and fittings

Fasteners (screws) may be used to temporarily provide a solid structural hold to PVC pipe and fittings while keeping them secure without using PVC cement. The fittings may then be reused or repositioned at a later time. There are some limits to this technique. It isn't as firm as PVC cement, and it won't work for internal-fit components like couplings and dome caps because of the way they are designed to be connected.

Here's how you use fasteners to join PVC pipes together- 

The fitting should be inserted into the pipe. Use a mallet if required to ensure it is thoroughly entered and that it is firmly seated. Into the fitting's side, drill a pilot hole approximately halfway between the pipe and the fitting. The screw will go in much more easily now. Using your drill or driver, drill a pilot hole and then put a self-tapping screw into it. If the screw is too short, the fitting and pipe will not fit.

Both of the techniques described above will help you build a solid PVC construction that you may use for many years to come. Even if none of the above techniques appeal to you, you may just press the pipe and fittings together until they stay attached. However, this method can result in parts that are too loose owing to manufacturing variations. Using the fastener connection approach to attach any loose parts is highly recommended if this is the case.

A transmission tower is a tall structure that is made from steel to support an overhead power line. The transmission tower in electric grids helps in carrying voltage transmission lines which carry bulk electricity from generating stations to substations. The transmission towers are installed at sufficient height from the ground to carry high-voltage power.

Components Of Transmission Tower 

The Cage Of The Tower

The area between the body and the peak is the cage of the transmission tower. The vertical section of the tower which has a cross-section design is the cage. The design can take the shape of a square or triangle according to the height of the tower. 

Peak Of The Tower

The portion at the top of the tower which is above the top cross arm is called the peak of the tower. For the supply of electricity from tower to homes, an earth shield wire is connected to the top of the peak of the tower. 

Cross Arm Of The Tower

The side arms of the tower on both sides hold the transmission conductor is called the cross arm of the tower. The dimension of the cross arm depends on the transmission voltage, angle, stress distribution, and configuration of the wires. The cross arm of the tower helps in connecting wires from one tower to another. 

Transmission Tower Body

The distance from the lowest cross arm of the tower to the ground is called the transmission tower body. It is necessary for towers, as it provides the height of the tower required for ground clearance.

Other Components Of Tower Design

Circuit

Depending on the design of the tower it has one or more circuits. For voltage up to 200KV, it is generally a single conductor which contains 3 circuits, and when the voltage goes above 200KV which has bundled conductor that means it has more than 6 circuits which enhances the capability of the power lines and reduces the loss in power during transmission.

Ground Wires

The ground wires are strung along the top of the tower to protect it from lightning strikes. The high-voltage system has two ground wires for reliable communications. 

Things To Consider In Tower Design

=> There should be a good foundation as the foundation is the basic structural support for the tower.

=> The minimum ground clearance is the lowest wire conductor above the ground level.

=> The clearance is required for consideration of the dynamic behavior of the conductor and the lightning protection of the wire lines.

Functions Of W Beam Crash Barrier

The W beam crash barrier is a type of semi-rigid crash barrier which has the capacity of absorbing the shock from the vehicles without getting deformed.

1. Absorbs Impact: The W beam crash barrier has either two or three rails that absorb the impact when the vehicle crash with high energy. During a crash, the barrier flattens out laterally to restrain the vehicle from rolling over the bridge.

2. Visual Guideline: The crash barriers are marked with fluorescent paint, so even in pitch dark or poor weather conditions drivers can see the marking of the crash barrier. At Utkarsh India, we have a color coating option available, to make the crash barriers safe for every situation.

3. Slows Down The Vehicle: When a vehicle crash with high impact to the W beam crash barrier, the impact energy of the collision is reduced to the maximum possible extent. This happens due to the friction between the W Beam crash barrier and the vehicle. This slows down the vehicle, preventing it from skidding back into the pathway.

4. Enhances Safety On-Road: These crash barriers protect the traveler from hazards such as steep slopes, blind turns, which have the possibility of collision or rollover crashes. W beam crash barriers are either installed on highways to protect the vehicle from falling into the abyss.

Along major highways, or on the cross-sectional roads, high mast poles are luminaire pole structures that are seen every 100-200m. These poles are manufactured from stainless steel, to enhance the strength, ductility property, and wear resistance. However, to prevent the issue of fatigue and reduce wear and tear of the poles, it is important to have proper installation and maintenance of the poles.

Process of Installation of High Mast Poles

Preparing The Mast For Installation

Before installation of high mast poles, it is important to check all accessories are at the erection site or not. Check the pitch circle diameter (PCD) and diameter of the foundation bolts for installation.

The bottom section and middle section of the pole are laid on the round wooden block. The middle section is then inserted into the bottom section keeping a distance of 20mm. The chain pulley block is fixed at the base plate of the mast, after that the pulley is fixed with the flange and the hook is fixed with the top end. After that, all sections are pulled by the chain block.

Mast Head Assembly

The head frame of the high mast poles is fitted with wire ropes and cables inserted inside the mast with the help of nylon rope. The nylon rope is inserted in the longitudinal section of the pole during the assembly of other sections.

The wire ropes and cables are passed onto the pulleys of the head frame. The pulley is a non-corrodible material that has a self-lubricating brush bearing attached with a stainless steel spindle of a diameter appropriate with rope and cables. When the wire and ropes are passed on the pulley, it is attached to the stopper clamp that is welded on the base section of the mast.

The poles have either three-point suspension or two-point suspension. In the case of three-point suspension, a part of the cable pulley of the heard frame assembly arrangement is kept behind the door side, while in tow-point suspension both pulley arrangement of the head frame is kept on the sides of the door.

Foundation Bolt Assembly

To ensure the foundation of the poles is right and it does not fall over during harsh weather conditions, it is necessary to have proper foundation assembly. As foundation bolts are important for structural safety, it is critical to check whether or not the bolt threads are greased and cleaned. The nuts are fixed 15mm above the ground at the same height to ensure nuts are in one place.

Elevation Of Assemble Mast

After assembling each part of the mast carefully, and checking the nuts and bolts of the mast, the final point is to elevate the structure above the ground. The center of gravity is determined and a sling is placed in that position. A straining of rope with shackles is secured with the sling to adjust the crane hook with it. Finally, the assembled mast is lifted.

Electrical System

At the masthead, cables are attached to the lantern carriage. This is fitted with luminaires, CG box, and junction box.

Maintenance of High Mast Poles

Periodic maintenance of Utkarsh's high mast poles is vital for preventing any damage. Here are some of the checkboxes for regular maintenance of the high mast poles.

1. The feeder pillar box has to be checked for any loose wire connection, flash marks, and heated parts.

2. The door of high mast poles has to be opened and cleaned regularly.

3. If any flash marks are found then light load and lose connection to be checked.

4. Luminaire box, control gear, and junction to be tightened adequately.

5. All screws and nuts have to be checked regularly.

6. Gearbox oil must be checked frequently, it must be replaced with new oil every year.

7. Motor chains and sprockets have to be checked, it should neither be too loose nor too tight.

High-mast lighting poles (HMLs) are elevated fixtures that illuminate a large area uniformly. The pole is generally 40 to 150 feet high, with multiple fixtures to distribute adequate light. Sports venues, airports, and highways are examples of a few locations that require high-mast lighting pole. Moreover, such areas are prone to accidents post-sunset making HMLs a mandatory inclusion.

HMLs Structure

Before you plan to install HMLs, you should know the structure and how it fits into your requirement.

The HML system includes three primary categories:

·        Structure of the mast

·        Headframe

·        Luminaries

The headframe comes in several designs and is either mobile or fixed.

Mobile structures involve a winch mechanism to manoeuvre and maintain the luminaire. Moreover, these headframes also come with a latching mechanism that supports the weight of the headframe and lighting fixtures.

Benefits of High Mast Light Pole

Here are some reasons why you might require installing high mast light pole for outdoor areas:

Environment Friendly

Earlier, it was more common to use HIDs lamps for high mast light pole. However, it was not environmental-friendly because it generated high-pressure sodium, mercury vapour, and metal halide. On the contrary, LED lights are free from such toxic gases, making them harmless for users and the environment.

Saves Energy

LED lamps used for high mast light pole save energy and offer durability. These range from 209 to 750 watts and are manufactured in a way to reduce energy consumption by 50 to 80% compared to HIDs.

Cost-effective

LEDs manufactured for high mast light pole increase longevity. Moreover, the process ensures that the generated voltage degrades slowly and gradually. It extends the lifespan of the LED lights and makes them cost-effective for the user.

Quality

Every high-mast lighting pole will have at least 4 to 6 fixtures for LEDs. The multi-point design evenly distributes light in different directions. Moreover, high lighting levels offer maximum coverage. If you avail LEDs in various colour temperatures, it increases brightness.

Durability

Consumer inclination towards LED lights is primarily because of durability and cost-

efficiency. LED floodlights are robust and long-lasting. They last 10 times longer than filament or gas-based lighting solutions.

With approximately 50,000 hours of longevity, LEDs make high mast light pole an excellent investment for corporate solutions. Since the stress of regular maintenance reduces, it also saves money and time.

Controlled Heat Emission

High mast light pole generate a significant amount of heat due to the floodlights. Further, it is the most potent lighting appliance and contributes to the rise in temperature around the location installed. Previously, HIDs lamps created a significant hazard due to this. However, the heat emission from LED lights is restricted due to active thermal management.

Road safety is a critical issue for all drivers, but it is especially important for those who operate heavy vehicles. Due to their size and weight, heavy vehicles can cause serious damage. Accidents involving heavy vehicles are often severe and result in serious injuries and even fatalities. That is why heavy vehicle drivers need to follow all the necessary safety precautions while driving. As one of the leading crash barrier manufacturers, we share a few road safety tips for heavy vehicle drivers:

1. Heavy vehicle drivers must stick to speed limits

Heavy vehicle drivers must stick to the speed limit. Exceeding the speed limit is not only against the law but can also jeopardise the safety of the drivers and others on the road.  As heavy vehicles need time and distance to come to a halt, it's important for drivers to drive within the speed limit. This becomes all the more important if the weather conditions are adverse. For instance, driving slowly on slippery roads can help heavy vehicle drivers avoid heavy braking and prevent ramming into other vehicles.

2. Heavy vehicle drivers must wear a safety belt while driving

Wearing a safety belt is important for all drivers.  In case of an accident, wearing a seat belt can reduce the risk of a fatal accident. Heavy vehicle drivers must ensure that seat belts are secured properly. Seat belts that are loose or are not properly positioned can significantly increase the risk of injury, in case of an accident. 

2. Drivers should keep a safe distance from other vehicles

Heavy vehicle drivers must keep a safe distance from other vehicles. This will give drivers enough time to stop if necessary and help them avoid any potential accidents.

3. Heavy vehicle drivers must not drink and drive

Drinking and driving is against the law. Alcohol impairs drivers’ judgement, reaction time and coordination. According to a government report,  drunk driving is among the leading causes of road accidents in India.

4. Heavy vehicle drivers must maintain the vehicle in good condition

Heavy vehicle drivers must ensure that their vehicles are in good condition. This means regularly checking the tyres, brakes, lights, and other parts of the vehicle to ensure they are all in working order.

5. Practise defensive driving

Heavy vehicle drivers need to be extra vigilant on the roads. Defensive driving is a proactive approach to driving that anticipates hazards and reduces the risk of accidents. It involves being aware of the surroundings and anticipating what other road users might do.

Here are some defensive driving tips for heavy vehicle drivers:

• Heavy vehicle drivers must be aware of their blind spots. Make sure the driver checks mirrors regularly to know what's happening around them. 
• They should leave plenty of space between their vehicles and others on the road. This way they will get space and time to apply brakes, when required.
• Drivers should always be ready to apply brakes if the traffic slows down or stops unexpectedly.

Black mould is a pervasive problem that can cause extensive damage to your property. If you have recently experienced a water leak, it's important to take measures to prevent the growth of black mould. Exposure to black mould not only damages furniture and furnishings but may also trigger allergies among those suffering from asthma or have a weakened immune system. As one of the leading CPVC pipe manufacturers in India, we share with you a few useful insights on black mould: 

What is black mould?

Black mould is a type of fungus that can grow in damp and humid conditions. One of the most common causes of black mould is water leakage. There are different types of water leaks that can lead to growth of black mould.  We will discuss them later in the blog. 

Why black mould is problematic? 

Black mould can cause serious health problems, especially for people with respiratory conditions or allergies. Black mould is often found in homes and buildings with poor ventilation and moisture control. If you think you have black mould in your home, it's important to have it removed by a professional.

When a person with asthma or a weakened immune system is exposed to black mould, he or she may experience a range of symptoms. These can include:

• Respiratory problems such as difficulty breathing, wheezing and coughing
• Eye irritation, such as redness, watering, and itchiness
• Skin irritation, such as rashes or hives
• Nose and throat irritation, such as a sore throat or runny nose
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Memory problems
• Concentration problems
• Mood changes, such as irritability or depression

Types of water leaks

There are three main types of water leaks:

1. Leaks from pipes or fittings

These leaks are usually caused by a break or crack in the pipe or fitting. These types of leaks can be difficult to detect, as they often occur in hidden or hard-to-reach places.

2. Leaks from appliances

Appliance leaks are usually caused by a problem with the appliance itself, such as a faulty gasket or seal. These types of leaks are usually easy to spot, as they often result in water pooling around the appliance.

3. Leaks from the building envelope (walls, roof, etc.)

Leaks from the building envelope are usually caused by a hole or crack in the exterior of the building. These types of leaks can be difficult to detect, as they often occur in hidden or hard-to-reach places.

Tips to prevent black mould

Water leaks can be a major problem in any home, causing extensive damage and mould growth. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to prevent water leaks from happening in the first place.

• Seal the leaks: One of the best ways to prevent water leaks is to make sure that all pipes and fixtures are properly sealed and caulked. Check for any cracks or gaps around pipes, fixtures, and other potential leak points, and seal them with caulk or another appropriate material.
• Signs of leaking water fixtures: It's also important to keep an eye on the condition of water fixtures and to get the repairs done as soon as possible. Keep an eye out for signs of leaks, such as water stains on walls or ceilings or puddles of water around fixtures. If you notice any of these, call a plumber to have the issue fixed.
• Keep an eye on your water bill: If your water bill has sudden spikes for no apparent reason, there's a good chance you have a leak somewhere in your home. It is best to call a plumber before water leaks cause extensive damage to your home.

Use leak-proof CPVC pipes and fittings in your home 

As one of the leading CPVC pipe manufacturers in India, we offer a wide range of CPVC pipes and fittings that are designed to meet our customers' varied needs. Unlike ordinary pipes, our CPVC pipes do not leak or burst easily. Our CPVC pipes and fittings are easy to install, durable and are known for their features such as corrosion resistance, chemical resistance and weather resistance. Also, they are bacteria-proof and offer superior insulation. 

There are no two ways that water is a precious natural resource. At a time when the agricultural sector is facing challenges such as water scarcity, groundwater depletion, and water conservation becomes more of a necessity than a choice. By adopting water-saving practices, farmers can not only reduce their water usage but also promote sustainable farming. We, as one of the leading agriculture PVC pipes manufacturers, share with you some useful insights on agricultural water conservation: 

1. Check for leaks and damage 

Make sure the irrigation system is in a good condition. If there’s any leak or cracks, you will lose water before it reaches the crops. Irrigation pipes and fittings get damaged or blocked. Thoroughly checking them for leaks and repairing them can help reduce water waste. 

Use our reliable agriculture PVC pipes and fittings for irrigation systems  

If you are planning to upgrade your irrigation system, install our agriculture PVC pipes. Made using high-grade PVC materials, our PVC pipes and fittings are corrosion resistant, chemical resistant, and UV stabilized. Our agricultural pipes and fittings are known for their durability and high strength. They do not prematurely fail like ordinary pipes and fittings.  Our agricultural PVC pipes play a vital role in large-scale agricultural facilities, making irrigation more efficient and sustainable. Even the small agricultural spaces and home gardens can be irrigated with our PVC pipes.

2. Use drip irrigation systems

Drip irrigation systems are an efficient way to deliver water directly to the roots of plants. This type of system could save a lot of water lost through evaporation if traditional sprinklers were used.

3. Mulch your plants

Mulching is the process of covering the soil around plants with material such as bark or straw. This helps to reduce evaporation and keeps the roots of plants cooler in hot weather.

4. Grow crops as per local weather conditions 

All the crops that you grow are required to be ideal for your local climate. Plants that are native to your region will not require too much extra care and will thrive under local weather conditions. For instance, drought-tolerant plants are ideal for dry and arid climate conditions. 

5. Rainwater harvesting

Rainwater harvesting is one of the effective ways to conserve water. It is simply the act of collecting rainwater. After collecting the rainwater, it is stored for reuse. 

6. Irrigation scheduling

Scheduling irrigation is a critical part of water conservation for agriculture. By properly scheduling irrigation, farmers can reduce water usage while still maintaining crop production. There are several factors to consider when scheduling irrigation, including weather, soil type, and plant type. There are many websites and apps available that can help  with accurate weather predictions. Based on these alerts, farmers can schedule irrigation and avoid excessive irrigation. 

7. Water fields in the morning 

When the mercury is rising, it is best to water your crops in the morning or in the evening. This avoids water loss from evapotranspiration Evaporation happens most in the midday sun.

Problems related to drainage are expected for most homeowners. Drainage problems and issues can come in many forms, requiring different solutions. As one of the leading SWR pipes and fittings manufacturers, we share with you common drainage problems and their solutions that you as a homeowner will find helpful: 

1. Blockages

Clogged drains, slow draining washbasins, and toilet bowls with poor draining functions are a few signs of blocked drainage. They are caused by hair, tissues, coffee grounds, fat, and other oil residues flushed inappropriately. Liquid cleaning solutions can help unclog drains. Applying suction and pressure with a plunger can also help unclog the drain.  However, when these things do not work, it is best to call a plumber. 

2. Broken or displaced joints

The ground movement, which can be caused by drainage repairs or ground instability, can cause damage or displacement in SWR (soil, water, and rainwater) pipes. These result in leaks and structural damage. Poor quality SWR pipes are more likely to get damaged easily. 

The effective way to prevent leakage is to buy leak-free SWR pipes and fittings. Our SWR (Soil, Waste, and Rain) pipes and fittings come with Leak proof Gold Seal for better fitment. Manufactured with the highest degree of dimensional accuracy, our pipes are strong and rigid. Our ISI-certified pipes are corrosion resistant, chemical resistant, and come with leak-proof joints. 

3. Fractures

Fractures are a common drainage problem, particularly in areas with high water tables. They can occur in any type of rock but are most common in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and limestone. Fractures occur when the rock is subjected to stress, which can be caused by changes in temperature, pressure, or moisture content. The stress causes the rock to break, forming a fracture.

Fractures can be a problem for drainage because they can act as conduits for water. This can lead to increased water levels in the ground and may eventually cause problems with flooding. Fractures can also cause problems for foundations, walls, and other structures built on or into the ground.

4. Root Intrusions

Root intrusions are one of the most common drainage problems. They can occur in any drainage system but are most common in sewer lines. Root intrusions can cause blockages, leaks, and overflows.

Root intrusions are caused by tree roots growing into sewer lines. The roots are attracted to the moisture and nutrients in the sewer lines. Once the roots penetrate the sewer line, they can grow quickly and cause problems. Root intrusions can be prevented by regular maintenance of your sewer lines. Tree roots will not be able to penetrate a well-maintained sewer line.

5. Collapsed sections of pipe

A collapsed SWR (soil, waste, and rainwater) pipe may disallow the wastewater to flow, and it can cause leaking in your surrounding area. It raises some other problems like weakening the ground structure, promoting mould growth, and attracting pests such as mosquitoes, rats, and flies.

If you are designing and installing a new lighting system or retrofitting an old one, there are key factors you need to take into consideration. Lighting systems for industrial facilities is not as simple as turning a switch on and illuminating the workplace. There are many factors that need to be considered in terms of safety of those who will be working there.  As one of the leading high mast pole manufacturers in India, we share with you some industrial lighting safety tips: 

1. Make sure that the work area is well-lit. This will help the staff see potential hazards and avoid accidents.

2. Use the proper light for the job. Be sure to choose an industrial light that is appropriate for the task at hand.

3. Lights must be inspected regularly. They should be checked for any damage or wear and tear that could potentially cause an accident. Bulbs should not be changed bare hands as this can lead to accidental burns. 

4. Reducing glare from lamps

• Select lamps with a lower colour temperature. 
• Use diffusers or reflectors to reduce glare. 
• Position lamps so that they do not shine directly into workers' eyes. 
• Install shades or filters on lamps to reduce glare. 
• Adjust the light output of lamps to reduce glare. 
• Encourage workers to report any problems with glare from lamps. 
• Regularly inspect lamps and lighting fixtures for signs of wear or damage. 
• Replace any lamps or lighting fixtures that are not working properly.

5. Install GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters)

The GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters)  device is an important part of any electrical safety plan. It provides added protection against electrical shocks and electrocution by interrupting the flow of electricity in the event of a ground fault. While GFCI devices are not required by law, they are highly recommended for any outdoor lighting or industrial lighting installation.

When installing GFCI devices, it is important to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. Pay close attention to the ground fault circuit interrupter's rating and always use a device with a higher rating than the circuit it is protecting. It is also important to install GFCI devices in areas where there is a risk of shock or electrocution, such as near swimming pools, hot tubs, or in damp or wet locations.

6. Electrical maintenance work should be carried out with utmost caution. The main power supply should be shut off during electrical maintenance.  

Note: Keep a first-aid kit nearby. In case of an accident, it's always good to have a first-aid kit close by. All employees who work with the lighting systems or are part of the electrical maintenance team should be trained in emergency first aid.

It will not be wrong to say that the railways are the lifeline of our nation. It connects states and people from one end of the country to another. As one of the leading manufacturers of railway electrification structures, we have curated facts on railway electrification in India that you will find interesting:

1. The first electric train ran from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to Kurla: The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), earlier called Victoria Terminus (VT), is a historic railway station as it is from here that India’s first electric train ran in February 1925. The Mumbai suburban section was electrified on 1500 Volt DC.
2.  The first electrically-operated railway service began in 1931: In 1931, Chennai (then Madras) got the first electrically operated rail service between Madras Beach and Tambaram.
3. In 1957, India adopted the 25 kV AC system of electrification like the rest of the world: Railway electrification systems using 25 kV AC are used worldwide, especially for high-speed rail. However, at the time of Independence, India adopted 3000 Volt DC during the period of 1st Five year Plan. But later it was realised the 25 kV AC system was more economical. In 1957, Indian Railways adopted the 25 kV AC system of electrification as a standard. In 1960, the first section was electrified on the 25 kV AC system.
4. Production of Electric locomotives got a boost: As the Indian railways were gradually adopting the 25 kV AC system,  the production of electric locomotives was increased. In 1961, the first 1500 V DC electric locomotive was launched in Bombay Area (Mumbai).
5. Indian Railways have electrified 52,247 Route kilometres (RKM) so far: It is interesting to note that when it comes to railway electrification, India has made great strides. By the second Five Year Plan, the country had completed electrification of 216 RKM (route kilometre) on 25 kV AC traction only. Today, the figure stands at 52,247 Route kilometres (RKM). This means,  80% of broad-gauge routes are electrified with 25 kV AC electric traction. The Indian railways aim to electrify the entire rail network by 2024.

1. W Beam Crash Barriers: W Beam Crash Barriers are called so because they have a thick 'W' shaped beam rail element.
2. Thrie Beam Crash Barriers:  Thrie Beam Crash Barriers feature a triple wave shape beam rail. Compared to two-wave shape products, this design has a stronger construction and higher impact endurance.

Here are some advantages of crash barriers:

1. Road safety: With accidents increasing alarmingly, road safety has become top priority for administration,  infrastructure and EPC contractors. Proper crash barriers can help prevent accidents and help minimise the extent of risk and damage to vehicles and passengers in case an accident occurs.

Here’s how crash barriers ensure road safety:

• When installed along the median strip, a crash barrier prevents the vehicles from colliding.
• It protects the commuters from roadside obstacles or hazards such as boulders, large storm drains, water bodies and steep slopes.
• When installed on a bridge, crash barriers can help prevent pedestrians, trucks, buses and cyclists from rolling over the barrier and falling over the other side – be it roadway, river or a railroad below.

2. Help in  minimising the impact of collisions: During a highway collision, vehicles tend to go sideways. In the absence of a crash barrier, the vehicles involved in the accidents can cross-over to the other side, putting other motorists in danger. If it’s a bridge, the vehicle can fall off it and lead to fatal accidents. However, when the vehicle hits the crash barrier the vehicle gets redirected back onto the road. A crash barrier absorbs the impact energy, reducing the extent of damage.
3. Streamline traffic: When installed along the median strip, it prevents motorists from taking wrong lanes, thereby streamlining traffic and reducing chances of  traffic congestion.
   
4. Prevent accidents at night: As crash barriers have reflectors on them, this makes them easy to notice during the night. They are effective in avoiding accidents and preventing vehicles from going off the road in the dark.

1. Little or no upkeep: Metal crash barriers withstand high impacts easily and yet require very less maintenance, especially when  compared to other road safety barriers.

   • Find out whether the manufacturer has in-house testing facilities or not.
   • Another important factor to check is the product certification - check whether the selected column riser pipe manufacturers have certifications from different monitoring agencies. It goes without saying that products that undergo several evaluations and tests before they are certified by reputed regulatory agencies are reliable.
4. Select a manufacturer with sizable production capacity:  If the scale of your project is big, make sure that the manufacturing company you choose can match your needs. Check the production capacity of the manufacturer. Ask them about the minimum and maximum scale of order.
5. Make sure the pipes are easy to install and use: At the time of selecting a column riser pipe manufacturer, make sure that the products they offer are not only of superior quality but also easy to install. Pipes with a difficult installation process can increase the cost of the project.
6. Ensure the manufacturer doesn’t use lead: Good column riser manufacturers do not use lead, making the pipes safe to use. Lead contamination is a serious problem and in many countries the use of lead in water pipes has been prohibited. Utkarsh Column riser pipe  pipes are not only lead free but are also made from virgin raw materials and are bacteria proof. As uPVC is immune to galvanic and electrolytic erosion, our pipes do not affect or contaminate water that is being transported.

Be it radio, mobile phones or landline phones, telecommunications towers ensure smooth connectivity. They are the backbone of a communication system. Such critical assets need routine inspection and proper maintenance. As one of the leading suppliers of engineering products, we share with you some useful telecom tower safety and maintenance tips: 

1. Trained technicians should maintain towers:
Employees maintaining the telecom towers should be well-trained. They must receive adequate training where they will learn about the safety risks and hazards involved in maintaining telecom towers and preventive steps that can be taken.

2. All the equipment must be inspected before use
Telecom maintenance employees should have access to all the required equipment such as pole climbers, body belts, positioning straps, adjustable positioning lanyards and safety harness.  Before maintenance  work is started, the condition of these tools must be inspected properly.

3.  The surrounding area must be kept clean clear of debris:
It's important to keep the surrounding area of the tower clear of debris. Not only does this help prevent accidents, but it also helps keep the tower itself clean and free of potential hazards. One way to do this is to create a buffer zone around the tower. This can be done by clearing a space of at least 10 feet around the base of the tower. This will help ensure that any debris that falls from the tower will not land on people or property.

4.  The tower should be properly grounded:
Telecom tower grounding is essential for two reasons: safety and performance. A properly grounded tower provides a safe electrical environment for both workers and equipment. It also helps ensure that the equipment works as intended. There are a few different ways to ground a telecom tower. The most common method is to use ground rods. Ground rods are driven into the ground and provide a good electrical connection to the earth.

5. Maintenance should be avoided during extreme weather conditions:
Severe weather conditions are serious safety risks, so it's important to be proactive in monitoring the forecast and taking steps to ensure the maintenance staff’s safety.

When severe weather is in the forecast, take the following steps:

1. Avoid scheduling maintenance work during severe weather conditions.
2. If the workers must work on a tower during severe weather, extra precautions must be taken to ensure their safety.

Radio, television broadcasting, mobile phone communication, global position systems (GPS) and WiFi are all examples of wireless telecommunications. Wireless technology enables voice and data transmission without wires. From telegraph to Wi-Fi, wireless telecommunications technology has come a long way. As a leading telecom tower manufacturer, we share with you some useful insights on wireless telecommunications: 

The first wireless conversation took place in 1880: Much before the invention of transmitter and telegraph, the first wireless telephone conversation took place in 1880 between Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter who together invented the photophone, a telephone that sent audio over a beam of light.

1. A radio transmitter used the Morse code: The first wireless transmitters used the Morse Code or other coded signals to communicate. Later, it became possible to transmit voices and music via wireless. Around the 1920s, the word ‘radio’ replaced the term wireless telegraphy.
2. Modern wireless technology is concerned with data transmission: Modern wireless technology enables data to be communicated over distances without the need for a physical wire.
3. Types of wireless networks: There are multiple types of wireless networks that are used for communication. Here are the different types of wireless networks:
   • Metropolitan wireless network (MWN): It is a network that covers a bigger area than a single building local area network (LAN).  Located in a single geographic area, it is smaller than a wide area network (WAN). It provides access to users across a given geography.
   • Wireless local area network (WLAN). A WLAN links devices in a particular local area such as home, school, computer laboratory, campus or office building.
   • Wireless personal area network (WPAN): A WPAN links devices over short range. For instance, it connects phones to bluetooth and connects devices such as keyboards, mouse and headphones to a laptop.
   • Wireless wide area network (WWAN). It uses mobile telecommunication cellular network technologies to transfer data.
4. Types of cellular networks: There are several types of cellular networks used to enable data and voice communications with smartphones. The two primary types are: GSM and CDMA. The primary difference between the two is GSM supports transmitting data and voice both at once, but CDMA doesn’t. Also, in GSM, the customer information is put on a SIM card which can be moved to a new mobile device. Whereas only mobile phones from a set of companies can be used with a CDMA network.
5. Difference between Wi-Fi and wireless telecommunication technology:  Wi-Fi is a sub-category of wireless technology.

Road accidents are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organisation, every year almost 1.3 million people are killed in road crashes. Despite advancements in vehicle technology, car accidents still happen. As one of the leading crash barrier suppliers, we have listed some common causes of road accidents:

1. Distracted driving:
Distracted driving is one of the common causes of road accidents. Motorists often get distracted when they drive while answering a phone call or eating or fidgeting with the vehicle’s controls. Even daydreaming can be a form of distracted driving. Distraction takes a motorist’s focus off the road , reducing reaction time.

2. Over speeding:
A vehicle moving at a high speed will have a greater impact during an accident, leading to severe injuries. When a motorist is driving at  high speed, the ability to judge the hazards on the road gets reduced.

3. Intoxicated driving:

Consuming alcohol or drugs can lead to serious accidents as it impairs a person's ability to drive safely. Motorists who drive in an inebriated state have to pay significant fines, lose their licence  and face higher insurance costs.

5. Driving in low-light conditions:
It can be risky driving at night when there are no street lights. With low-light conditions, It can be difficult to notice certain things such as speed breakers, curves on the roads and potholes. The motorist has to be more aware of the surroundings while driving at night.

6. Breaking traffic rules:

There is no question that breaking traffic rules is one of the causes of accidents on our roads. By speeding, running red lights, or failing to yield the right of way, motorists are putting themselves and others at risk. And all too often, these careless mistakes result in serious injuries.

7. Animal crossing:
It is a common sight to see stray animals on the city roads, streets and even on highways. Most accidents involving stray animals occur either due to poor light conditions when motorists cannot see the animal or when the animal suddenly comes in front of the vehicle.

How can a steel crash barrier reduce road accidents?

Metal beam crash barriers play an important role in reducing road accidents. They make roads safer for motorists as well as pedestrians. When used as a centre line divider, they prevent cross-over collisions. They also prevent the vehicles from skidding off the road.

There are no two ways that the Indian Railways is the lifeline of the country. For inter-state movement, it remains the principal mode of transportation for passengers and freight. As of today, 80% of broad-gauge routes have been electrified. By 2024, the Indian railways aim to electrify the entire rail network. If you are looking for railway electrification structures, here are some FAQs on railway electrification that you may find interesting and useful:

Question 1: When did railway electrification start in India?
Railway electrification started in February 1925. The first electric train ran from Bombay VT to Kurla Harbour.

Question 2: Why was railway electrification started?
Electrification is being done to reduce the nation’s dependence on petroleum-based energy. Moreover, electrification is environmentally friendly, pollution-free and energy efficient. It is an excellent alternative to fossil fuels as a source of energy.

Question 3: How many railways have been electrified in India?
In 2020-21, Indian Railways electrified 6,015 route km, the highest ever. So far, 64,689 route km have been electrified.

Question 4: Which zone of the railway is fully electrified?
Kolkata Metro, West Central Railway and East Coast Railway have been fully electrified.

Question 5: What are the different systems of railway electrification?
Three main systems of railway electrification are as follows:

1. Direct Current (DC) electrification system
2. Alternating Current (AC) electrification system
3. Composite system.

Railway electrification systems use 25 kV AC worldwide, especially for high-speed rail. At the time of Independence, India adopted 3000 Volt DC. However, later on, realising the benefits of the 25 kV AC system, it switched to it.
In 1957, Indian Railways adopted the 25 kV AC system of electrification as a standard.

Question 6: Which country has a fully electrified railway?
Switzerland was the first country in the world to have a fully electrified railway. The other country to achieve this feat is Armenia. China has so far electrified 70% of its railway network. There are many countries where no railway electrification is done at all.

Question 7: How does railway electrification work?
Electricity is generated in power stations, transmitted to the railway network and then distributed to the trains. Power is supplied to moving trains with the help of overhead lines or a third rail which is mounted at track level.

Question 8: Which company does electrification of Indian Railways?
The Central Organization for Railway Electrification (CORE) along with other organisations are responsible for planning the electrification of broad-gauge network routes. The CORE is a unit of Indian Railways. The CORE aims to achieve 100% railway electrification work by December 2023.

Be it big cities, small towns or villages, street fighting is essential everywhere. Street lighting makes the roads safer for motorists, pedestrians and others. Besides promoting safety, it also increases the quality of life by extending the day. If you are an infrastructure and EPC contractor planning to buy, here we, as a reputed street light manufacturer in India, have curated some FAQs on street lighting and their answers that you will find useful:

Question 1: Which type of lighting is used for street lights?

High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps are the most commonly used bulbs for street lighting. They produce white light and are preferred because they are low maintenance. Metal halide light bulbs are also popular as they emit true white light. This makes it suitable for sports fields and stadiums. HPS and metal halide lamps are more preferred over mercury lamps as the latter is hazardous. 

Question 2: Are all street lights the same height?

The street lamp’s height is usually 6 meters, 8 meters, 10 meters, 12 meters, or 15 meters. The street light height is decided by the breadth of the road surface.

As one of the reputed street lamp post suppliers, we can custom-engineer street and road lighting solutions of different styles, heights and materials to meet your specific requirement.

Question 3: What are the factors that determine the height of the street light poles?

Here are some factors that need to be considered when determining the height of street light poles:

1. Width of the road: The width of the area illuminated is equal to the height of the street light. A road that is 5 meters wide needs a 5 meters high pole.
2. Vehicle density: The lamp's height is also decided by the vehicle density on the road and the kind of vehicle passing. For heavy vehicle routes, high-end street lights are needed. For light vehicle routes, low-level street lights are installed. 
3. Spacing between street lights: The distance between street light poles should be 3-4 times the height of the poles.

Question 4: How to choose a street light?
When selecting a street light, consider the following options:

1. Mounts: Street lights are available in different mounts such as pole mounted fixtures and slipfitter and trunnion mount models.
2. Lumens: The more lumens, the brighter the light source is. You should consider how much light you need for the end use.
3. Wattage : Wattage is the measure of how much energy a bulb consumes. Energy-efficient bulbs such as LED lamps use less energy to give off the same amount of brightness (lumens). As LED lamps are brighter and consume less energy, they are often preferred over incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
4. Durability:  Street lights are often exposed to extreme weather conditions, and, therefore, it is important to select on the basis of wind testing rating.  

Looking for street lamp post suppliers? 

As one of the reputed street lamp post suppliers, we offer a wide range of standard and custom-engineered street and road lighting solutions such as light poles, steel tubular poles, high mast light towers and lamp posts.

Businesses where workers spend time behind the wheel as part of their job, driver safety should be the top priority. The loss of human lives and the financial and reputational costs of motor vehicle accidents are too high to be ignored. As a reputed road safety crash barriers manufacturer, we share strategies how businesses can promote safe driving:

1. Have a clear policy on what is safe driving

To promote safe driving at the facility, businesses need to give their employees a reference point on what safe driving is. This document should be detailed and should be kept up-to-date. All employees should have access to this document so that they can refer to it from time to time.  The document should define the speed limit. It should also set a realistic goal for the number of miles that a driver can drive safely each day. It should tell in detail how drivers can reduce stress by planning the route ahead of time.

2. Reward good driving

Driver safety programmes have to go beyond flagging risks and issues and communicating these to drivers. Rewarding the employees  ensures that they are happy and engaged drivers. By rewarding good driving a culture of safety will be built in the organisation.

3. Disciplinary action for driving infractions

Just like good drivers should be rewarded, have a disciplinary action plan to address the problem of preventable work-related accidents.  Employees will be more likely to adhere to the safety guidelines if they know there will be a consequence if they don’t.

4. Proper vehicle maintenance and

Vehicles that are not well-maintained are more prone to accidents. Businesses must make sure all their vehicles are maintained.

5. Make driver training an ongoing part of safety programmes

Motor vehicle training should be an off-one training. After initial driving safety training, there should be regular training to sessions to reiterate standard safety procedures such as wearing seatbelts, and avoiding distractions such as talking on the phone, adjusting the radio or other controls, eating or drinking.

6. Reduce driver fatigue

One of the most common causes of work-related driving accidents is driver fatigue. Businesses must ensure that they have adequate staff. The work should be scheduled in such a way that the drivers are well-rested before there’s change in shifts.

7. Carry background checks before hiring drivers

Before hiring a driver, businesses must make sure to check their driving record. There should be regular checks on the drivers’ performance and feedback should be shared with them.

Public spaces are a part of the culture of a city. They provide people opportunities to come together and engage as a community. However, for public places to promote a sense of inclusiveness they must be designed as per the growing needs of the city as well as the local culture. As a reputed designer light supplier, we share with you useful insights on creating vibrant public spaces

1. Keep it simple and adaptable
   When you are in the initial stages of your project it is important to keep the design of the public space simple and adaptable. The reason being public spaces are always evolving. For instance, In Indian metro cities since the metro train has come the public life is getting more centered around transit routes and metro stations.  Therefore, a good design should be one that can be later on changed.
2. Make it inclusive for everyone
   A good public space should not just be welcoming and aesthetically pleasing but it should be accessible to all. This means public space should be designed in a way that it is safe and finding  the way around isn’t difficult.  Pavements and signages should be there to improve accessibility. A good public place enables everyone, including people with physical disabilities, to move around the city safely.
3. Create multi-use spaces
   Spaces function differently at different times of the day. Public spaces can be designed in such a way that they can be used in multiple ways at different times of the day. For instance, a city square can integrate the market, culture and food.  It can be used by retailers and food vendors to do their business and at the same time, artists can use it to showcase their talent. Skyline, pathways with sitting arrangements, parks and cultural centres are some vibrant public spaces.
4. Install designer street lights
   Although the primary purpose of street lights at night is to provide illumination for security and safety, street lights are an important part of the character of the city. Illuminating the city squares, archways and areas outside retail stores calls attention to the uniqueness of a place. This brings a sense of drama to the experience of being in such places.
5. Choose durable and simple materials
   When you choose materials for designing public spaces, they should be defined by the simplicity of design and layout as well as quality. To choose appropriate materials, you must bear the following things in mind:

1. Choose materials that have a lower carbon footprint. As public spaces are high-traffic areas, use materials that can be replaced easily.
2. To focus on quality and cost, chalk out a detailed plan.
3. Make sure that material is chosen keeping design and aesthetics in mind.

Question: 7Which are the best HDPE pipe manufacturers?

A substation is an invaluable part of an electrical generation, transmission and distribution system. Its primary function is to transform voltage from low to high and from high to low, but it also performs a number of other important functions. Transmission substations step down high-voltage power and pass it on to distribution sub-stations, where the voltage is further reduced suitably before being supplied to different types of consumers. Substations are also used to route power to different destinations, such as factories or homes. As a manufacturer of transmission and distribution of electrical power structures, we share with you tips for substation safety:

1. Securing perimeter area:

Perimeter security is critical to the safety and well-being of any site or facility. Installing a fence is one of the most effective ways to deter trespassers and protect against potential hazards. There are a variety of fence materials available, each with its own advantages. Metallic fences are strong and durable but can be expensive. Non-metallic fences are less costly but may not provide as much security. Warning signs should be posted on all fences to deter would-be trespassers and ensure that everyone is aware of the potential dangers. Regular maintenance is also essential to keep fences in good repair and prevent washouts or other damage. By taking these simple steps, you can help minimize safety threats from the outside environment.

2. Restricting or prohibiting visitor access:

Substations are critical components of the power grid and they must be treated with care. Visitors can pose a serious safety hazard, as they may not be familiar with the equipment or the dangers involved. To prevent accidents, it is best to either restrict or prohibit visitors from entering substations. If it is absolutely necessary to allow visitors, they should be accompanied by experienced personnel and given proper safety gear.

3. Monitoring/ guiding vehicular traffic:

Monitoring and guiding vehicles that enter substations are critical to preventing accidents. Clearance between the roof of the vehicle and overhead lines must be ensured, as well as between the vehicle and elevated equipment within the substation. Drivers must be proactive in ensuring safe navigation. Additionally, mobile hoisting equipment and cranes must be supervised and controlled by substation personnel.

4. Providing PPEs:

Working in a substation can be quite dangerous. That's why Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be provided to all workers.

Workers should weararc-rated and flame retardant clothing, shields, gloves, face masks, hard hats, safety glasses and insulated footwear while working in a substation, especially when they are exposed to live electrical parts are all essential parts of the PPE made available for workers. The infrastructure must also be equipped with gas detectors, scaffoldings and rescue equipment to assure the safety of everyone.

5. Securing battery stores:

Battery storage rooms are sources of chemical hazards and should be secured with authorized access. Following these tips can help keep people safe when working with or near battery storage rooms:

●      Ensure the room is well-ventilated and equipped with a ventilation system that exhausts to the outside.

●      Regularly inspect batteries for damage, leaks or other irregularities.

●      Make sure only authorized personnel have access to the storage room.

●      Post signs prohibiting smoking, open flames or electrical sparks in the area.

●      Use proper personal protective equipment when working with batteries, including gloves, safety goggles and a face shield.

For many, there’s nothing like hitting the open roads on a highway. But driving on the highway can be dangerous as driving on the local roads isn’t the same as driving on the interstate roads. Moreover, in India, road conditions can be unpredictable. Therefore, drivers must be even more cautious while driving on highways. As one of the reputed highway crash barriers manufacturers we share with 5 things that drivers should never do on highways:

1.    Not staying within speed limits

Speed is one of the most common reasons for accidents on highways. It is easier to maintain high speeds on highways because roads are wider and traffic is generally light. However, driving at a high speed can be dangerous especially on highways that have many curves. It is for this reason there are set speed limits for highways. Drivers should stay within the set speed limit even when the roads are empty.

Note: Drivers must assess the road conditions and drive accordingly. If the roads are wet roads or there’s low visibility, drivers must slow down and drive cautiously.

2.    Switching lanes

One of the common mistakes that drivers make on highways is switching lanes too frequently. When drivers change lanes, they must recognise the speed differences between the lanes and accordingly drive. If drivers need to change their lanes, they must make sure to give the appropriate signals and keep an eye on changing speed.

3.    Overtaking heavy vehicles

Heavy vehicles carrying goods are driven at high speeds on highways. Drivers must avoid overtaking heavy vehicles. The consequences of an accident involving heavy vehicles tend to be serious.  Drivers must wait for a signal from them in case they want to overtake. Drivers must be extremely cautious of the distance they maintain while overtaking heavy vehicles as they tend to be quite long.

4.    Not reading the road signs

Highways have many important road signs pertaining to speed limits, intersections ahead, turns and bridges. While on the highway, drivers should always read these signs so that they know they are driving within the speed limit and they adjust their speed for intersections, turns and bridges ahead.

5.    Not making pit stops

Highway driving can be tiresome and therefore, drivers must stop at regular intervals. Accidents due to driver fatigue are among the common causes for accidents on highways. Drivers must not push themselves to make up time.  The continuous driving can lead to fatigue. Drivers must take breaks and keep themselves hydrated. They should also keep switching between ‘recirculating’ and ‘fresh-air’ modes so that a change in temperature helps them to stay more alert. If drivers are feeling drowsy, they must take a quick nap. If drivers are accompanied by fellow drivers, taking turns to drive can help reduce fatigue.

One of the effective ways to save water is to establish a water savings plan.  As one of thereputed HDPE pipe manufacturers, we share with you some common ideas to streamline water conservation in commercial buildings

1.    Install low-flow plumbing fixtures

One of the easiest and effective ways to save water is to retrofit the building with water-conserving plumbing fixtures such as tap aerators, high efficiency toilets, and low-flow shower heads.  Though this would require initial investment, in the long run, it can help save water and reduce utility bills.

2.    Switch to low-flow toilets

Bathrooms are water-guzzlers.  However, by switching to low-flow toilets, you can reduce overall consumption of water in the building. Low-flush or dual-flush toilets use 5 to 6 litres of water per flush compared to 9 or 10 litres for standard toilets.

3.    Use grey water:

Earlier, it was thought that the water used in most commercial buildings was in terms of clean clear water coming in, and sewage—or black water—going out. Grey water is something in between. Grey water is water used in the washing machines, showers, and bathroom sinks. It is not sanitary enough that it can be used for drinking. But it’s also not toxic.   Treated greywater can be used for

●      Watering garden

●      Toilet flushing

●      Cleaning

●      Cooling equipment

4.    Use HDPE pipes for leak-free plumbing system:

Leaking pipes can lead to wastage of water. The best way to avoid water wastage due to leaking pipes is to install high-quality pipes that do not crack or break easily. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe has gained acceptance as a non-ferrous alternative to metal pipes. As HDPE pipes are  corrosion-resistant and strong, they offer leak-free performance.

5.    Install a rainwater harvesting system

Commercial rainwater harvesting systems can be a viable option for buildings that have a high demand for non-potable water. Capturing and storing rainwater is an easy and effective way to conserve water through a commercially viable point of view. Stored rainwater can be used for laundry, toilet flushing, car washing, and ornamental water features.

6.     Insulate piping

In many commercial buildings, hot and cold water are used. However, when piping is uninsulated or not insulated properly, the user will wait for the hot water to flow, resulting in significant water waste. Properly insulating the piping system can ensure that the heat losses can be reduced and hot water can be made available immediately. The user is less likely to waste cold water in such a scenario.

Every commercial building requires a sound plumbing system for supplying clean water and also draining waste out of the property. But even, a sound plumbing system has an expiry date and needs to be upgraded or repiped. Repiping refers to replacing or removing all the hot and cold water pipes in the building. As a manufacturer of PVC pipe for agriculture, we share with you signs that your commercial building needs to be repiped:

1. Water leaks:

Water leaks are one of the common plumbing issues. It is easy to identify the water leaks from the pipes in the appliances. However, it is challenging to detect water leaks within walls, ceilings and slab foundations. By the time you notice water leaks, the damage could be more, which needs to be addressed immediately. Green patches on the walls, a sudden spike in water bills and a musty smell could be signs of the water leak.

2. Smelly or discoloured water:

When pipes are old or in disrepair, they can release chemicals and other contaminants into the water supply. This can cause water to smell foul. This can not only lead to serious health problems but also to the plumbing system in the building. If you notice that the water coming from the taps is cloudy or sediment-filled, it’s a good idea to call a professional plumber to find out the source of the problem.

3. Water pressure problems:

Over time, corrosion can have a significant effect on the performance of the plumbing system of the building. Not only does it cause visible damage to the outside of pipes, but it can also lead to a build-up of rust and sediment on the inside of pipes. This can reduce the flow of water through the pipes and lead to a drop in water pressure. While this process happens slowly over time, it can eventually have a noticeable impact on the plumbing system.

4. Visible corrosion:

 Corrosion is a common problem with exposed pipes. If you see signs of corrosion on the exposed parts of the pipes, the pipes should be changed as soon as possible. Corrosion can make the pipes weak and brittle. They are more prone to damage and leaks, leading to costly repairs. Not just that, corrosion also affects the quality of water the pipe is carrying. Corrosion can make drinking water unsafe for consumption.

5. Noisy pipes:

One way to avoid plumbing problems is to regularly check the pipes for signs of wear and tear. However, you may not always be able to spot visible damage, which is why it's important to pay attention to the sounds the pipes make. If you hear gurgling, rattling, or other unusual noises from the pipes, it is best to call a professional plumber. These noises can indicate air access, leaks or pipe damage.
