High-water mark
Article Abstract:
Water quality, water supply, application rate, soil conditions and planting materials are the issues that have to be dealt with when planning irrigation systems for retail, office or commercial buildings. On the other hand, zoned systems, quick-coupling valve systems and valve-in-head irrigation are the three basic irrigation designs. Sprinkler heads, piping, valves, backflow preventors, controllers and irrigation pumps are the common elements of a standard irrigation system.

Power parlay: a lock
Article Abstract:
The 3,036-suite Venetian Resort-Hotel Casino is equipped with a redundant electrical distribution system to ensure continued operation even at unpredictable times. The redundant distribution feeders designed by MSA Engineering could automatically sustain and protect itself without manual intervention as well as operate locally and regionally if the global communications failed. Manual operation is possible if the automatic systems failed.
