EBENSBURG - Ebensburg Borough and Cambria Township have agreed to replace a pipe near Candlelight Drive to alleviate flooding issues in exchange for county liquid fuels money.

Borough Manager Dan Penatzer compared the flooding to a stoppered bathtub; when the rain stops, the plug is pulled, and flood waters quickly recede from flooded areas.

The problem, however, is that the area floods every time it rains - not just during heavy storms.

Engineering studies indicate that a 36-inch pipe under Candlelight Drive needs to be replaced, he said. There is a 54-inch pipe under Center Street and another 54-inch pipe near a Uni-Mart store that crosses under Route 22.

Penatzer told council Monday the borough had reached a trade agreement with the county, which couldn't afford the work, while both the borough and township already have equipment and available manpower.

"The county has the ability to accomplish some paving projects. The borough has the ability to do construction and add a retaining wall," President Commissioner Douglas Lengenfelder said.

"We could not afford to go in and just [do the construction], especially with the size of the pipes and the

type of drainage that they need."

Penatzer said the borough needs construction easements from two private property owners who might be reluctant to let the project move forward.

One of them, Jason Jacoby, told council "adding a 2-foot bigger pipe [running] 25 yards isn't going to work."

Agreement reached on pipe replacement

Paradise Valley, Arizona (PRWEB) April 30, 2014

Frequent colds, allergies, or asthma can all be caused by poor indoor air quality and high pollution inside the home. With summer heat approaching, Arizonans are sure to spend up to 90% of their time indoors, according to AAA Cooling Specialists, an HVAC company providing AC repair in Paradise Valley AZ. With so much reliance on regulated indoor temperatures to stay comfortable, AAA Cooling Specialists also informs indoor air can be cleaned with a few household tasks. AAA Cooling Specialists offers the following tips to Paradise Valley homeowners to consider while conquering spring cleaning duties.

Clean with microfibers

Towels and dusters do their job to attract dust, but by cleaning with microfibers, the dust and pollutants cling to the dusters instead of redistribute through the air. Properly clean or discard microfiber products according to the manufacturers suggestions.

Vacuum floors and clean blinds more frequently

With more time spent indoors, the need to clean high traffic areas becomes more important. The air conditioner can circulate cleaner air if the dust and pollutants are kept to a minimum.

Change air filters once a month

Even if the air conditioner hasnt been turned on yet, a new filter will ensure the cleanest air possible is flowing through all vents and ducts. Call a professional if a leak in the duct system is suspected as this could lead to large amounts of dust coming from the attic.

Bathe and brush animals outside

Most homeowners are committed to keeping windows and doors closed during the summer to save money on energy bills, but trapping pet dander indoors will give it no place to go. Groom animals outdoors in the early morning or evening and only let pets inside once their excess fur has been brushed off as much as possible.

Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett is recommending the county direct about $41.3 million more than he originally proposed toward school construction projects.

The extra funds would produce a total of more than $1.5 billion for Montgomery County Public Schools capital improvement program for fiscal years 2015 through 2020, compared to Leggetts original proposal in January of about $1.1 billion.

Leggetts recommendation to increase county funding for the school system follows unsuccessful efforts in the General Assembly to give Montgomery $20 million more a year in state funding for school construction projects.

School board President Philip Kauffman said Monday the extra money Leggett is recommending would help the school system somewhat, but still leaves a significant funding gap.

There still will be significant delays to projects across the county, he said.

Before Leggett released his recommendation, the County Councils Education Committee approved Monday a plan aimed at addressing the roughly $230 million gap between the school systems request for capital funds and Leggetts original proposal.

Council President Craig L. Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown said the recommended funding which come from school impact tax revenue might alter that plan.

Were right now in feverish meetings to see what in fact this means for us, Rice said Tuesday.

Under the plan the council committee approved, the school system would cut about $170 million over the six-year period through one-year delays to all projects including additions, revitalization and expansion projects that dont have construction funds in fiscal 2015.

Larry Bowers, the county school systems chief operating officer, said the plan wouldnt delay any project that is either already under way or going to get under way in fiscal 2015.

The Roxtec Transit Designer is a free, web-based tool that simplifies both product selection according to needs and requirements and the process of designing, purchasing and installing cable and pipe transits.

Giuseppe Principato is an Instrument Designer in Italy and one of thousands of designers and engineers in more than 80 countries who have already discovered the benefits of the new design software. He works with tasks such as developing material requisitions for bulk materials as well as with preparing cable routing, cable entries, wiring, installation details and job specifications.

"I use the Roxtec Transit Designer every time a multi-cable transit is accepted or requested by our customer," he says. "It is easy to use and understand, and it helps me save time. You can customize cable transits and easily change the arrangement of the transit whenever you need."

"I recommend the Roxtec Transit Designer," says Giuseppe Principato. "I think it can be very helpful globally."

The Roxtec Transit Designer is available free online and on touch screen devices. It helps designers and engineers select the right sealing solution. They can filter by application, certificate and sealing requirements. It saves time and money and can speed up the entire process and design a transit in minutes.

It also reduces risk. The project team gets it all right from the start 3D models, drawings, material lists and installation instructions.

Simple enough that Designers just enter cable schedule, sealing requirements and installation preferences and the tool generates documents such as Bill of Materials and CAD drawings. They can share their work with project teams anywhere in the world. And the chat function offers them instant access to the Roxtec expertise.

Using the pushbuttons, a user can configure Series IO ultrasonic sensors to use numerous modes, including pump-up/pump-down, rising/declining analog slope and beam width adjustments, among others. The pushbuttons also configure trip points, output function, output behavior, and even the shape of the sound cone, says Marcel Ulrich, Product Manager. High-visibility green and yellow LEDs verify power and target status, and also assist with pushbutton programming.

Series IO ultrasonic sensors have UL, CSA and CCC approval, and feature a completely sealed, IP67-rated housing, making them suitable for use in outdoor application environments. Additional features include two programmable switch outputs, latching mode and window functions, synchronization options and temperature compensation. They are available in switch point and analog versions, both available with 500 mm, or 2, 4 or 6 m sensing ranges. All units are 30 mm diameter by overall length of 93 mm.

For expanded parameter access and programming, Series IO sensors are also configurable through IO-Link and PactWare software. In fact, for users with an IO-Link controller, one of the most significant benefits of IO-Link is the ability to modify and monitor sensor parameters on the fly, says Ulrich.

IO-Link opens up an entirely new dimension of configuration and communication of and with sensors, enabling them to be uniquely customized to the application at hand. IO-Link is based on an intelligent point-to-point connection system on the field level. IO-Link systems offer intelligent sensing without being tied to a proprietary system, and operate independent of the field bus.

An IO-Link master can have one or several ports, with one IO-Link device connected to each port. Thus IO-Link is point-to-point device communication, and allows I/O-signals to be connected to standard systems via the IO-Link master. Additionally, for the use of intelligent sensors, IO-Link offers advantages such as: Simplified installation Replace parallel wiring Replace analog signal types Standardize interfaces and cables Modular machine support

Fieldbus Installations - Benefit from Superior Diagnostics and Increased Plant Uptime with the All New FieldBarrier Isolated Device Coupler from Pepperl+Fuchs

TWINSBURG, OH The Pepperl+Fuchs fieldbarrier revolutionized the fieldbus industry - the all new FieldBarrier R4D0-FB-IA is a diagnostic-enabled isolated device coupler for FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA instruments. The very compact FieldBarrier is DIN rail mounted in Zone 1/Div.2 environments and connects 8 12 instruments with intrinsic safety in Zone 0 1/Div.1 environments. The FieldBarrier provides advanced fault diagnostics and isolation at the spur, enables live work on the trunk or spurs and supports plug-in surge protectors. The result is simplified installation, improved troubleshooting and maximized plant uptime.

At the spur, advanced fault protection isolates conditions such as short circuit, jabber or bounce, and Advanced Diagnostics detect installation quality issues for optimum segment availability. Internal components such as the terminator are connected without wiring, and connections requiring maintenance are minimized. Critical components are designed with redundancy or monitored for degradation to ensure high product integrity.

"The all new FieldBarrier manages load by turning the Spurs on in sequential order (1, 2, 3, 4) to limit the effects of in-rush current and power supply overload upon segment startup. The entire process takes less than one second per channel," says Kristen Barbour, Product Marketing Manager. "For load shedding, Starting at the highest spur count (12, 11, 10, 9), devices are disconnected one by one in case of an overloaded power supply due to a device fault (ex. water ingress) that would cause a device to draw more current than it would under normal operating conditions. In this case, critical devices would be placed on the first spurs with the least critical devices occupying the last spurs," explains Barbour.

The FieldBarrier also supports diagnostic-enabled accessories such as enclosure moisture ingress sensors and surge protectors. They all transmit fault and diagnostic information to the control room indicating the affected spur.

About Pepperl+Fuchs Pepperl+Fuchs is a world leader in the design, manufacture, application and support of a broad range of robust solutions to varied process automation markets and applications.

A perennial Control and Control Design Reader's Choice Award winner for intrinsic safety equipment and purge & pressurization systems, Pepperl+Fuchs has also been named by Control magazine and the ARC Advisory Group as one of the Top 50 Global Automation Companies.
