We are not only consumers we are creators - We are constantly creating the world we live in by the choices we make.
At Organic Leather it is our intention to return reverence to the practice of working with leather and to live in dominion with our animal friends and the earth. The world we choose to create is one we inhabit in full consciousness and integrity by actively honoring our sacred relationship to the land and her animals and in so doing respecting the artistry of our crafters and the style of our customers.
Controlled blasting techniques can be used to mitigate adverse impacts of blasting in mining and construction. These include line drilling, trim blasting, smooth blasting, pre-splitting, optimizing blast design parameters, accurate timing delays, and muffle blasting. Signature hole analysis uses monitoring of a pilot blast to model blast vibration and optimize delay timing to reduce vibration energy at structural resonance frequencies. Adopting controlled blasting techniques can help restrict ground vibrations and overbreak while improving safety, environmental, and economic outcomes.
The document discusses swing angle-clearance combinations specified for transmission lines in India. It analyzes how the combinations impact tower configuration and whether all specified combinations are necessary. The analysis shows that for most line voltages, only two judiciously selected swing angle-clearance combinations are sufficient to determine optimal tower configuration. The remaining extra combinations specified do not affect tower design and could be removed without compromising reliability. Using only two critical combinations could simplify transmission line design processes.
This document provides guidance on site sampling and testing of concrete according to British and European standards. It discusses safety precautions when working with concrete, describes the standard procedures for sampling concrete from delivery trucks and performing slump and flow tests, and lists the necessary equipment. Key points include:
- Protective clothing should be worn as alkalis in concrete can harm skin and eyes.
- For sampling, scoops should be taken from four different parts of the load as it is discharged.
- For slump tests, the sample is remixed and placed in three layers in a slump cone, which is then lifted and the slump measured.
- For flow tests, the sample is placed in two layers in
The document provides guidance on site sampling and testing of concrete, including procedures for sampling, slump testing, flow testing, making cubes, storing cubes, and safety information. The key points are:
1) Sampling should be done according to BS1881:Part 101 or BSEN 12350-1 by taking scoopfuls from four parts of the load and mixing in a bucket.
2) Slump testing involves mixing the sample, filling a cone in layers and rodding each layer, lifting the cone and measuring the slump distance.
3) Flow testing uses a similar process of filling a mould and tamping layers, but then lifts the mould and counts drops to measure spread
This guide provides information on working safely near overhead power lines. It outlines key precautions including assessing safe distances, using a safety observer, and calling the electricity supplier before working in restricted zones. If contact is made with power lines, the guide instructs workers to call for help and not touch any equipment until the lines are deactivated. Employers and workers both have legal responsibilities to ensure a safe work environment when near overhead power lines.

The document provides a risk register for an overhead transmission line project. It identifies 5 main risks:
1) Changes to the approved foundation design could delay the project.
2) Introducing new foundation design software not specified in the contract could lead to delays from additional engineering work.
3) Selecting the route alignment without a proper survey could result in delays from suboptimal tower positions.
4) Using an incompetent project team without experience in overhead line construction in hilly areas could impact the project.
5) Not deploying sufficient machinery for civil works like access roads and excavation in hilly terrain could slow progress.
This document contains a risk register for an overhead transmission line project with 16 identified risks. The top 3 risks are:
1) Changes to the approved foundation design after work has commenced could delay the project due to changes in scope.
2) Introduction of new software not specified in the contract could delay the project as it would require additional engineering work and study time.
3) Passing new comments on design revisions may lead to design delays and delays in execution if not properly managed.
The document describes a series of dynamic centrifuge tests that examined methods to reduce settlement of power transmission tower foundations during earthquakes. The tests modeled four isolated tower footing foundations on a liquefiable sand layer. Three countermeasure types were examined: 1) a base plate connecting the footings, 2) a surface plate connecting the footings at ground level, and 3) a surface plate with surrounding sheet piles. Test results showed that the base plate reduced settlement by up to 70% while the surface plate reduced it by 30%. The surrounding sheet piles showed relatively small effectiveness due to inadequate length compared to the foundation width.
