Pay as you grow

Article Abstract:

Florida has adopted a concurrent policy for its development programs. This is in compliance with the state's Growth Management Act which aims to address the swift population increase, environmental concerns and the existing infrastructure. The law also deals with the provision and maintenance of the required levels of service for Florida's facilities. However, the law' implementation requires more flexibility for transportation facilities. The Florida Department of Transportation has adopted the necessary measures to make the law work for an efficient transportation network.

The roads ahead

Article Abstract:

The Strategic Highway Research Program recently developed 50 products for road construction, repair and maintenance. Among these products were the Robotic Pavement Crack Sealer, a model demonstrating the effect of asphalt chemistry on binder performance, a specifications manual on three new types of high-performance concrete and the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program. The Robotic Pavement Crack Sealer combines sensor processing hardware, video imaging and repair tools to perform its task while the LTPP is a wide-ranging pavement performance test.

US sludge digesters: from pancakes to eggs

Article Abstract:

Egg-shaped sludge digesters have recently been accepted as an alternative to their cylindrical conventional counterparts. These digesters are used extensively in Japan and Germany. Although construction costs are higher, these egg-shaped devices are able to provide better mixing of sludge, are easier to maintain, requires lesser amount of energy to operate and are space savers compared to typical digesters. Means by which these equipment could be restricted from public view and be given a decorated look are discussed with individual cases for examples.
