The National Pipeline Mapping System: A Innovative Tool for Locating Pipelines
Whether they are emergency responders, city planners, pipeline operators, homeowners, students or just curious neighbors, it’s important for community members to know where pipelines are located so they can be avoided or found, serviced and monitored. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) offers an excellent resource for learning more about local pipelines. The National Pipeline Mapping System’s (NPMS) Public Map Viewer includes...

Waste Water Treatment Design Tool Available on The Water Network
ZURICH and PRINCETON, N.J. - AquaSPE AG from Zurich Switzerland announced today access to an open source Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) design tool and WWTP knowledge sharing community on The Water Network. WWTPs are complex. "To get a traditional activated sludge design can take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars. This makes it difficult to innovate and compare technologies," says Trudi Schifter CEO of AquaSPE. The Water Network is dedicated to driving the innovation of Wast...

Vibrating RO Membrane System Solves Leachate Problem for Colombian Landfill
EMERYVILLE, Calif.- In the lush Southwestern highlands of Colombia sits the picturesque Cauca Valley. The verdant landscape is owed to its ample rainfall, which at nearly forty inches per year rivals that of Seattle. And in the town of Yotoco lies the Colomba El Guabal Landfill, which receives most of its 2,000 tons of solid waste per day from Cali, a city of 2.4 million people about thirty-five miles to the south. Managing a landfill in a bucolic setting with high rainfall is extremely chall...
Pattern Energy Pilots Uptake’s Software at Wind Site
CHICAGO—Uptake, the industrial data science and artificial intelligence (AI) software leader, today announced that Pattern Energy Group Inc. (Nasdaq & TSX: PEGI) will pilot Uptake’s wind software. Pattern Energy, the seventh largest wind operator in the U.S., will pilot the predictive analytics software at its Logan’s Gap Wind farm in Comanche County, Texas.

High-strength Concrete Developed at MSU Could Save State Money, Time
BOZEMAN - In a lab at Montana State University, researchers use massive hydraulic pistons to crush samples of concrete in order to determine the material’s strength. To test what’s called ultra-high performance concrete, they’ve had to ratchet up the force. “One little square inch of this concrete will carry about 20,000 pounds,” said Michael Berry, a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering. That’s about five times stronger than regular concrete, he said. During the past two years...
New VC500 Controls for ROVVER X Makes Sewer Inspections Accessible on the Cloud
RANDOLPH, NJ—February 21, 2018— Envirosight’s new VC500 controller for the ROVVER X sewer crawler is the industry’s first to allow an operator to build a PACP-compliant inspection, then upload it wirelessly to the cloud for instant access anywhere, on any device with a browser. The new controller also includes a suite of tools to measure pipe diameter and bend, crack size, obstructions, flow level, lateral diameter and angle, and inclination. In addition, it brings drag-and-drop simplicity to th...
