Charles Fazio & Associates was hired to redesign a condominium unit in the Bratenahl 2 residential tower overlooking Lake Erie. The original layout did not take advantage of the lake views. The redesign opened up the space by eliminating two bedrooms and reconfiguring rooms to maximize water views. Rich woods, custom furnishings, and architectural details were used to create a transitional contemporary design. The renovation improved the functionality of the space to better suit the owners' needs.

This document provides guidance on installing high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. It discusses:
1) Proper installation requires using the right pipe class, backfill material, and compaction to at least 90% maximum density. Classes IA, IB, and II are preferred over Class III.
2) The pipe must be surrounded by compacted backfill material to distribute loads and provide resistance to deflection. Acceptable backfill ranges from coarse granular to borderline clean/fine grained soils.
3) Trenches must be stable, backfill placed in layers and compacted, and construction loads protected the pipe with sufficient cover. Proper installation is essential for the pipe to perform as
