Faircloth Skimmer
The Faircloth Skimmer surface drain floats on the surface of the sediment basin as it fills and drains, releasing the cleanest water near the surface instead of draining muddy water from the bottom of the basin as conventional outlets do. The skimmer drains the basin slowly over several days at a constant rate to maximize settling. The adjustable orifice regulates the filling and drawdown of the basin and improves efficiency. Check out www.FairclothSkimmer.com for additional information, including cut sheets, a sizing template, detailed installation instructions and pictures.

Applied Bolting Technology
Applied Bolting Technology produces DuraSquirt DTIs (Direct Tension Indicators) that supply a bright orange indication when bolts have been tensioned, making tight bolts easy to see. DTIs are load cells that ensure compliance with bolting standards and specs. Torque, Turn-of-Nut and TCs can all produce false-positive tension and regularly do: Torque scatter is ±40% for new bolts, and worse for weathered. Relying on torque is optimism, at best. TCs are torque bolts that are adversely affected by cold or wet weather. Turn-of-Nut can be defeated by misrepresenting turn angle, regardless of turn applied. DTIs read load. If a bolt is tight, a DTI will show it, independent of weather, torque, angle, tool or skill.

EJ
Making sure your manhole assembly is to final grade with the road surface is an essential part of a new manhole installation, rehabilitation or road resurfacing project. The INFRA-RISER multi-purpose rubber composite adjustment riser by EJ is engineered to adjust manhole covers and catch basins to grade. Due to the compression properties of the adjustment riser, traffic loads are uniformly distributed over the entire supporting structure, rather than concentrated in specific high-stress areas. The INFRA-RISER separates the rigid surfaces of the manhole structure and access assembly, preventing water infiltration and traffic vibration damage to the structure. These adjustment risers are available in standard and custom shapes and are made in the USA from 92% recycled materials. Learn more at http://ejco.com or call 800-626-4653.

Lindapter
Established in 1934, Lindapter designs and manufactures unique steel-to-steel connection systems, which provide a faster alternative to drilling or welding in the field. ICC-approved Girder Clamps are ideal for use on bridges, as new steel components can be lifted into position and quickly clamped onto the existing structure using standard tools. Lindapter’s product line includes the ICC-approved Hollo-Bolt for HSS as well as floor fasteners such as the Grate-Fast. Typical applications include securing reinforcing steel frames to the underside of a bridge deck, supporting pipework from the structural frame and attaching open bar grating to form maintenance walkways.
Bridge projects include Manhattan, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Walt Whitham and Goethals bridges. No drilling or welding results in unparalleled flexibility and time savings during installation, but also eliminates hot permits and associated costs.

mBrace3D
mBrace3D is a state-of-the-art finite-element software specifically designed for plate girder and tub girder bridges. Its purpose is to invite steel bridge designers and erectors, together with state DOTs, to adopt 3D shell analyses in their daily practice. This is the most-refined analysis method and captures bridge behavior more accurately than 1D line girder or 2D grid analyses, including potential instabilities.
This improved level of accuracy and safety does not come at the expense of increased modelling time, as complex, curved and/or skewed bridge systems are generated parametrically in a user-friendly fashion.
mBrace3D covers all phases of the bridge lifecycle: erection of the steel superstructure, placement of the concrete deck, vehicle load optimization and load-rating analyses.

Portadam
For more than four decades, Portadam has been utilized as an effective temporary cofferdam solution, providing contractors a dry work condition while saving time and money. Traditional cofferdam and water-diversion approaches are often specified to allow the work to take place in the dry, but these can be very cumbersome—from a cost, environmental and scheduling perspective. Subsurface conditions, site conditions, site access and logistics often pose significant challenges to identifying the optimal design of a comprehensive engineered solution.
Our engineered system has been used in more than 5,000 water-related projects nationally and internationally. The Portadam system has no environmental impact due to its freestanding nature. Additionally, no ground penetration is typically required, thereby minimizing subsurface risk (environmental, cost and schedule) usually associated with sheet piling.
