FISHER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT warning tips: Triad Boiler Room Systems Launched New Commercial Boilers
Triad Boiler Room Systems Launched New Commercial Boilers
Fisher Capital on Boiler Room Equipment, Inc: Triad Boiler Systems manufactures uniquely rugged small-footprint hot water boilers, steam boilers, and radiant heating systems. All our boilers use 12 gauge firetubes in compact vessels that fit through very small doorways! Inputs range up to 2,000,000 BTU's. Create a highly efficient system with millions of BTU's by sequencing a string of these modular vessels.
TRIAD's commercial boilers and industrial grade Hot Water Heating, Domestic Hot Water, and Steam boilers are used in a wide variety of applications. Our commercial boilers are used at schools, universities, apartments, hospitals, office buildings, retirement communities, and churches. Industrial uses have included bakeries, smelting operations, food processing, quenching systems, and various heating applications for manufacturing. Triads’ modular boilers and radiant heating systems can be natural gas fired, oil fired, or dual fuel fired. For simplicity of operation and maintenance, all controls on our boilers are well known, off-the-shelf products. There area no proprietary parts on these boilers! This simplicity of operation is part of our philosophy, and an important reason why our customers return to us again and again.
TRIAD has been manufacturing high-quality boilers since 1926, and developed the modular boiler concept with primary/secondary piping, receiving a patent for it in 1967. We put this experience, knowledge, and expertise into every boiler.
We believe in quality - it is the overriding characteristic driving our company. This is why we manufacture extremely rugged, well-designed hot water and steam boilers that can provide decades of dependable service. We welcome your inquiries.
Benefits of Modularity
TRIAD's elegantly simple design maintains consistent water volume where heat is required.
• Boilers are activated sequentially, drawing water from the main loop into the next hot water boiler until the heating need is meet.
• firing boilers remaining isolated, so no heated water circulates through cold boilers.
• During most of the year the unfired boilers provide additional backup.
• Outdoor temperatures and loop water temperatures are constantly monitored.
Fisher Capital on Boiler Room Equipment, Inc: The efficiency of this design is most apparent during warmer months, when a conventional hydronic heating or steam boiler could still be operating at full capacity.
Primary-Secondary Piping
TRIAD integrates modularity with a single pipe primary-secondary system. TRIAD was the first company to employ a Primary-Secondary concept. It operates with two loops, (i) the primary loop, or building main loop, and (ii) smaller secondary loops off of each hot water boiler, which supply heated water to the primary loop.
Upon a call for heat, the boiler pump begins pushing the return water into the boiler and out through the secondary loop, supplying this hot water up into the primary loop (the main header), where it mixes with the cooler return water from the main loop of the building.
• Supply and return water are blended, avoiding the need for expensive and unreliable mixing valves commonly used in two pipe systems.
• The secondary loop isolates each hot water boiler, resulting in a very efficient system that minimizes thermal shock.
Control Panel
TRIAD Boilers can be sequenced by the use of our control panel that provides many attractive features:
• Temperature set-back when less heat is required, such as nights and weekends.
• Adjustments for latent heat, to take advantage of hot boiler water that retains heat after the burner shuts down.
• Outdoor reset based on atmospheric temperatures.
• Monitoring of return water temperatures to maintain accurate heating output.
It is also very easy to sequence our boilers using the panel of any other major manufacturer.
Packaged Product
Fisher Capital on Boiler Room Equipment, Inc: All TRIAD hot water boilers and steam boilers are fully assembled, packaged products, which offer several advantages over boilers that must be assembled at the jobsite
• Onsite labor costs are minimized.
• Quality control is higher at the factory than at the jobsite
• The ease of installation of a packaged boiler allows for quicker start up.

Easy to Clean
To maintain boiler efficiency, heating surfaces must be kept clean and free of combustion by-products. All TRIAD heating surfaces, especially the firetubes, are easy to access. It is impossible to clean all the heating surfaces of a cast iron boiler, and what can be reached is difficult to clean.
TRIAD also makes it easy to maintain clean water surfaces. The cleaning of the interior of a cast iron boiler is a major undertaking, and even then only the vertical surfaces can be cleaned. The inability to clean the horizontal surfaces can have a significant impact on operating efficiency.

Fisher Capital to Distribute Steam Boilers
TRIAD offers both Low Pressure and High Pressure packaged steam boilers. Warning: These are ready-to-install systems management featuring a perfectly matched powerful and efficient burner/boiler combination ideal for Space Heat and Industrial Process applications. All steam boiler controls and secondary plumbing are in place and pre wired and most TRIAD vessels are designed to easily fit through a three foot wide doorway resulting in a very quick start-up. Warning - TRIAD Steam Boilers heat very rapidly and thus create dry steam quickly.
Fisher Capital to Distribute Steam Boiler Rooms - TRIAD Low Pressure boilers represent an excellent choice for schools & universities, healthcare facilities, apartments, office buildings, and historic landmark buildings. TRIAD High Pressure boilers can support most industrial processing applications. Industrial operators gravitate to TRIAD's authentic firetube design because it is manufactured in a way similar to larger horizontal industrial boilers. The rugged construction allows for inexpensive long term maintainability and reliability.
Modular boilers are an ideal solution to any facility where redundancy is critical such as health care and processing applications. The small footprint is the perfect solution for universities, and other campus situations that require heating in many diverse buildings. TRIAD boilers are also perfect for decentralizing a large central steam heating plant. Uncomplicated off-the-shelf controls allow for quick and simple maintenance operations.
TRIAD uses burners that fire gas, oil, propane, or dual fuel. Gas trains can be stage-fired via on/off, low/high/off, low/high/low or fully modulating with sizes ranging from 300 MBH to in excess of 2100 MBH.
These are modular boilers, so many can be linked together to create a highly efficient system to satisfy the heaviest demand for steam, yet cycled independently to provide exceptional efficiency during turndown scenarios.
Fisher Capital to Distribute Steam Boiler Rooms - Series 300 Steam LP. Overview: The Series 300 Steam Boiler is available with firing inputs from 300,000 Btu/hr to 375,000 Btu/hr. However, many millions of Btu's can be delivered by creating an efficient, fully modular system of up to 24 vessels operated by our computerized control panel.
Design: The Series 300 Steam Boiler is manufactured to exceed ASME Section IV standards and typically is used to provide operating pressure of up to 15 psi with nominal operating temperature of 218°F to 240°F.
These vessels contain 37 vertical firetubes, each of which is 1½" diameter, each fitted with a high-efficiency turbulator for maximum heat transfer. The combustion chamber is fully water-backed, with burners that are UL listed.
This boiler qualifies as a Category I gas appliance with industry standard controls wired to NEC specifications.
Safety: A well-made, heavy vessel is naturally a safer boiler. But TRIAD Boilers also have a firebox design that is completely backed by water, along with extra safety controls on the boiler that results in a very safe and secure package.

Geithner Says Financial System Stronger Than Before Recession
The U.S. financial system is in better shape than it was before the recession and is well placed to provide the funding needed for the economic expansion, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said.
“The core of the American financial system is in a much stronger position than it was before the crisis,” Geithner said today during a Bloomberg Breakfast with reporters in Washington.
U.S. banks had net income of $87.5 billion in 2010, the highest since 2007, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said today. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has jumped 64 percent since March 2009, and corporate bond spreads have narrowed.
“We can say with much more confidence now that the U.S. banking system and the U.S. capital market are much more likely to be in a position to finance the capital needs that come with a recovery,” Geithner said.
The world’s largest economy is projected to grow 3.2 percent in 2011, the most since 2004, according to the median forecast of 61 economists surveyed by Bloomberg from Feb. 2 to Feb. 8.
Two weak spots remain, Geithner added. Housing finance is still “overwhelmingly dependent” on government support, while smaller community banks are working their way through soured commercial real-estate loans.
The Treasury Department this month put forward a series of proposals for attracting private capital back into the $11 trillion mortgage market while shrinking the role played by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored enterprises that have been sustained by U.S. aid since September 2008.
‘Very Encouraged’
“I’m very encouraged by the reaction so far” to the Treasury’s proposals, Geithner said, while adding that it will take a couple of years to reach a consensus with Congress on the needed changes.
Commenting on the standoff in Congress over spending for the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30, Geithner said that “both sides have an interest in working to avoid” a government shutdown.
Congress needs to enact a new spending plan by March 4 to avoid a government shutdown, and congressional Republicans and Democrats are preparing competing plans to prevent that outcome. Congress is in recess this week.
The Treasury secretary defended the President Barack Obama’s budget for the coming fiscal year against Republican criticism that it doesn’t do enough to cut the deficit. He argued that the budget plan puts government finances on a sturdier footing over the next 10 years.
Energy Cuts
Obama’s budget aims to reduce budget shortfalls by $1.1 trillion over a decade. The plan, his first since Republicans took control of the House of Representatives, includes cuts to energy, transportation, housing and other programs popular with Democrats.
Republicans have said the president’s budget doesn’t go far enough to address long-term deficits because it fails to tackle spending on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
Geithner played down concerns that the surge in oil prices will derail the U.S. recovery. “By almost any measure you look at, the economy is gradually getting stronger,” he said.
Oil prices rose for a fifth day, approaching $100 a barrel in New York, as Libya’s uprising threatened to disrupt crude exports. Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi vowed yesterday to keep fighting the rebellion with a crackdown that Human Rights Watch says has left almost 300 people dead.
Consumer Confidence
The increase in oil prices comes at a time when the global economy is emerging from the deepest recession in more than 50 years. U.S. consumer confidence rose to its highest level in three years this month.
Geithner said that the U.S. is ready to help Egypt and Tunisia overhaul their economies after the ouster of their leaders in popular uprisings.
“There is going to be a very difficult and important economic reform challenge in those countries,” he said. “Where there is a good case for financial assistance, we’ll be very supportive alongside other countries in providing that.”
Egypt after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak inherits a legacy of incomplete attempts at change, including a sale of state assets and an overhaul of the tax system. The political costs of needed steps such as shedding state workers or levying new taxes likely will challenge the country’s next leader.
Geithner repeated his call for China to allow its currency to appreciate faster and said the U.S. has gained backing from other countries for that campaign over the last six months. “We’re seeing broader support,” he said, adding, “It is in China’s interest to move faster.”
China has allowed the yuan to appreciate about 3.8 percent against the U.S. dollar since June, or at a 10 percent annual rate in real terms, Treasury Assistant Secretary Charles Collyns said in a speech last night in San Francisco.

Fisher Capital Updates - Bechtel-Enka Completes Albanian Motorway -
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alabama, Alabama, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) November 10, 2010 --
Fisher Capital Equipment Management News Updates - TIRANA, ALBANIA - Bechtel and joint-venture partner Enka today completed construction on the Albanian Motorway, a 37-mile (61-km), four-lane highway that stretches from central Albania to the to Kosovo border. The motorway is now open to traffic.
Construction Project Management and Civil Engineering Careers scams. Keep posted and don’t be a victim.
The end of construction was marked by a ceremony to open a second tunnel bore, the final section of the motorway. Ministers of transport from Albania and Kosovo, and additional senior officials from both countries, attended the opening. Speaking on behalf of the Albanian government, Sokol Olldashi, the minister of transport and telecommunications, thanked Bechtel-Enka for its commitment and the quality of work performed during construction of the motorway.
The motorway is the central leg of a 106-mile (171-km) highway traversing the country from the Adriatic Sea to the northeastern village of Kalimash near Kosovo. The new roadway cuts travel time along the route from six to two hours, boosting coastal trade and northeast tourism. The motorway also provides a vital connection within Albania and across the region, linking markets to the Adriatic port of Durres and contributing to economic growth as Albania prepares for accession to the European Union.
The Albanian Motorway is one of the largest-ever infrastructure projects in the country and presented many engineering challenges due to complexities of the geology in the region and the fast-track construction schedule. The motorway includes a 3.4-mile (5.5-km) twin bore tunnel and 29 bridges built in a rocky, mountainous region.
During construction, the project was the largest employer in the area, with Albanians accounting for two thirds of the workforce.

Fisher Capital Management Reports: International Equities
The third quarter saw double-digit returns for the world¹s equity markets. U.S. large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, rose 16.07%, bringing that index’s year-to-date return to 21.08%. Mid-cap stocks were the best performers overall, with the Russell Mid-Cap Index gaining 20.62% for the third quarter and 32.63% for the year. Value stocks bounced back during the quarter, outperforming growth stocks across the full range of market capitalizations. Small-cap value stocks were the best performers for the quarter but still lagged their small growth counterparts by almost 13 percentage points for the year.
International Equities: Fisher Capital management, Korea reports: International equities posted double-digit gains for the third quarter as well. The MSCI EAFE IMI Index gained 19.82% in the third quarter, with local-currency average market returns of 15.10% boosted by the weak performance of the U.S. dollar.
Emerging markets produced another strong quarter, but one that was more in line with developed market returns than was the case during the second quarter of 2009, as the MSCI Emerging Market IMI Index rose 21.30% for the third quarter. Both developed and emerging markets were driven higher by the strong performance of European equity markets, while Asian markets, particularly in Japan, lagged.
Fisher Capital Management Outlook: At the end of the quarter, markets reacted negatively to mixed economic news, signaling a potential correction off the recent highs. The strong rally since the market’s low of March 9, 2009 has left observers wondering whether rapidly-rising stock valuations have become prematurely rich and earnings expectations somewhat stretched.
While we are cautious about the performance of the market in the short term, we continue to expect a slower, but more robust and sustained, “smile-shaped” economic recovery in the long run.

Market Overview December 2009: fisher capital management - Stocks closed lower in October for the first time in seven months, as investors questioned whether the huge rally off the March lows had exceeded the economy\'s ability to generate growth in output and profits. Indeed, equities capped off a volatile month (the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) experienced triple-digit moves in ten trading sessions!) with a volatile week, as the S&P 500 Index experienced its worst five-day span since early July. For the month, the DJIA eked out a fractional gain, while all the other major equity market indices suffered losses.

The third quarter saw double-digit returns for the world¹s equity markets. U.S. large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, rose 16.07%, bringing that index\'s year-to-date return to 21.08%. Mid-cap stocks were the best performers overall, with the Russell Mid-Cap Index gaining 20.62% for the third quarter and 32.63% for the year.

U.S. Equities: Fisher Capital Management Reports
As mentioned previously, stocks finished a volatile month in October with a volatile final week of trading, as investors began to question whether the market¹s impressive rally had surpassed the economy¹s ability to generate growth in output...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 26, 2010 – As mentioned previously, stocks finished a volatile month in October with a volatile final week of trading, as investors began to question whether the market¹s impressive rally had surpassed the economy¹s ability to generate growth in output and profits.
To be sure, throughout the market’s impressive rebound, the technical picture for stocks gathered steam, as excess liquidity helped drive the market higher.
Fisher Capital Management, US Equities Reports: As one technical achievement passed another, we began to postulate that the market’s technicals appeared significantly better than its fundamentals.
Some of these concerns may be coming to fruition over the near term, as a few technical strengths appear to have softened in recent weeks. Indeed, as the S&P 500 Index approached the 1,100 level during the middle of October, the market ran into strong resistance, falling by approximately 5% from that high by month-end.
Fisher Capital Management, US Equities Reports: This may prove to be an important development because at 1,100, the S&P 500 was within about 20 points of achieving a 50% retracement, whereby the market could have recouped 50% of the loss from the October 2007 high of 1565 to the March 2009 low of 666. Given all the cash parked in money markets and shortterm Treasury bills, another surge or two above 1,100 is certainly possible. Yet 1,121 is a number that should be on the radar for all investors, because if it is achieved, very little technical resistance exists on the path to 1200.
In addition to the strong resistance, stocks failed to hold a key support level on the last day of October. The market’s 50-day moving average (DMA) was 1,052 heading into Halloween weekend, but investors were spooked by poor readings on personal spending and consumer confidence, resulting in a close (1,036) below the important 50- DMA level. An important test will be in the first several trading days of November to see whether or not the market can sustain its rally above this key support level.
Fisher Capital Management, US Equities Reports: This weakness was exacerbated by a surge in the market’s “fear gauge” toward the end of October. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, or VIX, which measures the cost of using options as insurance against declines in the S&P 500 Index, surged in the final few days of trading last month.
While the VIX had been at a 14-month low in the middle of October, the 25% jump at the end of the month suggests investor skittishness about market direction over the next several weeks, particularly as the catalyst of earnings season draws to a close.
Fisher Capital Management, US Equities Reports: Fortunately, the fundamental picture has brightened. Better than expected economic data suggests the possibilities for an improvement in corporate performance. Interest rates and inflation remain low, providing a healthy backdrop for corporations that have been very aggressive cutting costs from their expense structures.
Indeed, recent earnings news has been somewhat positive, with 70% of the companies in the S&P 500 Index having reported an average decline in earnings per share (EPS) of 12% for the
third quarter, exceeding expectations.
Fisher Capital Management, US Equities Reports: Given our projections for a “less spectacular” economic recovery in 2010, though, we continue to believe that consensus estimates for corporate profit growth of up to 35% next year are too high. Consequently, our operating EPS projections remain more than 12% below consensus expectations ($75.00) for 2010.
Businesses can’t cut costs forever, and at some point we believe revenue growth is a necessity to help justify valuations for a market that is already trading at a price/earnings (P/E) ratio of 16 to 17 times our $65.00 estimate for next year. Until we begin to see an improvement in the longer-term trends for housing, employment, credit, sales, and profits, we suspect the market will be unwilling to pay anything more than historically average P/E multiples (16 to 17 times) for a dollar of earnings. Therefore, we continue to believe the market, as defined by the S&P 500 Index, will likely be fairly valued within the current range of 1,050 to 1,100 over the next six months.

Fisher Capital Management Reports: International Equities
The third quarter saw double-digit returns for the world¹s equity markets. U.S. large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, rose 16.07%, bringing that index’s year-to-date return to 21.08%. Mid-cap stocks were the best performers overall, with the Russell Mid-Cap Index gaining 20.62% for the third quarter and 32.63% for the year. Value stocks bounced back during the quarter, outperforming growth stocks across the full range of market capitalizations. Small-cap value stocks were the best performers for the quarter but still lagged their small growth counterparts by almost 13 percentage points for the year.
Fisher Capital Management Report Part 2- The UK has had an emergency budget and it could have been much worse. The heavy lifting is being done by a rise in VAT bringing in £13 billion. On the spending side the cuts are achieved by freezing public sector pay, indexing state benefits to the CPI rather than the faster-rising RPI and freezing child benefits. State pensions will be indexed to the higher of wages or the CPI but the pension age will be raised to 66 fairly soon.
Interest rates are projected to remain low, with inflation absent; and it is possible that Quantitative Easing will need to be resumed but on present prospects this seems unlikely to be necessary. Another concern is with the regulative proposals. There is an antibank mentality developing in this coalition government, which is most unfortunate; much of it seems to emanate from Vince Cable and the Lib Dems. Yet a moment’s thought should be enough to convince one that we need bank credit expansion and a return to competition on the bank high street in order to foster recovery and enterprise. Ever tougher bank regulation is what was needed before, at the peak of expansion, not now in the slough of recession giving way to recovery.
Talk of breaking up banks fails to recognise the natural economics of banks, which favours scale and risk-spreading. Talk of capping mortgage lending at modest percentages of income is also unfortunate when the UK want to see a revival of it’s housing market, now once again back in the doldrums. A last area of concern is the state of the labour market. The UK do have near ‘full employment’ if one discounts the modest temporary effect of recession. But this only applies to those normally looking for work. : There is now a large group of people who are claiming benefits of various sorts in order to stay out of the labour market. Disability benefit is one route; nother is the having of children in order to get child benefits and related parenting allowances, with tragic consequences for some children.
Tightening up of this has been signalled in the budget but this has happened before, with no proper follow-through. Another UK labour market problem is the resurgence of union power as Labour loosened the union laws passed before 1997. One key loosening was the 12-week rule, which allows workers to breach their contracts with impunity when on strike until 12 weeks of strike have occurred. When strikes are designed for short periods for maximum disruption, this 12 week period can take a long time to trigger. During it the employing firm is unable to defend itself by recruiting a different labour force.
Under the pre-1997 legislation firms were able to dismiss workers in breach of contract, provided they did so in a non-discriminatory way. This led to a huge reduction in strikes and a large rise in UK productivity, to the great general benefit. As we have seen in recent years, certain unions are exploiting this 12-week rule to damage the economy — the classic case has been the BA dispute where UNITE has persisted in attempting to defend well-above market wages for cabin crew. In sum the budget was a decent start in restoring fiscal sanity. But only a start. The UK now needs urgent attention to the creation of a proper tax system with low marginal rates but generating a reliable revenue source — the two are perfectly compatible. It needs sense and restraint in regulation. Finally they need to reform their labour market yet again.

Fisher Capital to Distribute Steam Boilers
TRIAD offers both Low Pressure and High Pressure packaged steam boilers. Warning: These are ready-to-install systems management featuring a perfectly matched powerful and efficient burner/boiler combination ideal for Space Heat and Industrial Process applications. All steam boiler controls and secondary plumbing are in place and pre wired and most TRIAD vessels are designed to easily fit through a three foot wide doorway resulting in a very quick start-up. Warning - TRIAD Steam Boilers heat very rapidly and thus create dry steam quickly.
Fisher Capital to Distribute Steam Boiler Rooms - TRIAD Low Pressure boilers represent an excellent choice for schools & universities, healthcare facilities, apartments, office buildings, and historic landmark buildings. TRIAD High Pressure boilers can support most industrial processing applications. Industrial operators gravitate to TRIAD's authentic firetube design because it is manufactured in a way similar to larger horizontal industrial boilers. The rugged construction allows for inexpensive long term maintainability and reliability.
Modular boilers are an ideal solution to any facility where redundancy is critical such as health care and processing applications. The small footprint is the perfect solution for universities, and other campus situations that require heating in many diverse buildings. TRIAD boilers are also perfect for decentralizing a large central steam heating plant. Uncomplicated off-the-shelf controls allow for quick and simple maintenance operations.
TRIAD uses burners that fire gas, oil, propane, or dual fuel. Gas trains can be stage-fired via on/off, low/high/off, low/high/low or fully modulating with sizes ranging from 300 MBH to in excess of 2100 MBH.
These are modular boilers, so many can be linked together to create a highly efficient system to satisfy the heaviest demand for steam, yet cycled independently to provide exceptional efficiency during turndown scenarios.
Fisher Capital to Distribute Steam Boiler Rooms - Series 300 Steam LP. Overview: The Series 300 Steam Boiler is available with firing inputs from 300,000 Btu/hr to 375,000 Btu/hr. However, many millions of Btu's can be delivered by creating an efficient, fully modular system of up to 24 vessels operated by our computerized control panel.
Design: The Series 300 Steam Boiler is manufactured to exceed ASME Section IV standards and typically is used to provide operating pressure of up to 15 psi with nominal operating temperature of 218°F to 240°F.

Fisher Capital to Distribute Steam Boiler Rooms - TRIAD Low Pressure boilers represent an excellent choice for schools & universities, healthcare facilities, apartments, office buildings, and historic landmark buildings. TRIAD High Pressure boilers can support most industrial processing applications. Industrial operators gravitate to TRIAD's authentic firetube design because it is manufactured in a way similar to larger horizontal industrial boilers. The rugged construction allows for inexpensive long term maintainability and reliability.
Modular boilers are an ideal solution to any facility where redundancy is critical such as health care and processing applications. The small footprint is the perfect solution for universities, and other campus situations that require heating in many diverse buildings. TRIAD boilers are also perfect for decentralizing a large central steam heating plant. Uncomplicated off-the-shelf controls allow for quick and simple maintenance operations.
TRIAD uses burners that fire gas, oil, propane, or dual fuel. Gas trains can be stage-fired via on/off, low/high/off, low/high/low or fully modulating with sizes ranging from 300 MBH to in excess of 2100 MBH.
These are modular boilers, so many can be linked together to create a highly efficient system to satisfy the heaviest demand for steam, yet cycled independently to provide exceptional efficiency during turndown scenarios.

Fisher Capital Equipment Management - Significant Progress on Dulles Metrorail
Avoid internet scams, get the latest news update from Fisher Capital Equipment Management. Construction of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Extension project, which is being built near Washington, D.C., is moving forward above and below ground. Crews have made significant progress on the elevated guideway structure that will carry the Metrorail over I-495, the region's primary highway, as well as Tysons Corner, one of the area's most congested business and retail districts. At the same time, a 2400-foot tunnel is being built under the intersection of Route 123 and International Drive as the traffic continues through Tysons Corner, and as the businesses and residents are going about their daily routines.
The progress of the project was highlighted on W-USA 9, a Washington, D.C. area TV station. The report featured interviews with Bechtel construction managers. Watch the video.
Construction of the project began in March 2009, with the signing of a $900 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The project is being constructed by Dulles Transit Partners, a team of Bechtel and URS, and will include five new Metro stations and 11.5 miles of new track.

Fisher Capital News: European Union Combats Pollutant Emissions from Non-Road Mobile Machinery
With such close scrutiny on pollutant emissions from road vehicles, what measures are in place to regulate emissions from non-road mobile machinery (NRMM)? Get educated, avoid scam and learn from latest news update from Fisher Capital Equipment Management Leasing.
NRMM refers to any transportable industrial equipment or vehicle with or without bodywork that is not intended to be used to carry goods or passengers on the road, in which an internal combustion engine is installed. This includes any vehicle fitted with a diesel engine and covers numerous construction vehicles and equipment such as excavators, front loaders and compressors.
Do NRMM contribute significantly to pollutant levels?
NRMM are not currently subject to as tight controls as road vehicles and investigations undertaken by the European Commission estimate that off road machinery accounts for approximately a quarter of the emissions of oxides of nitrogen and a third of PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) emissions of mobile sources in 2000.
Oxides of nitrogen and particulates are the most significant pollutants emitted by diesel engines and are the two pollutants of most concern to the United Kingdom in terms of air quality. Oxides of nitrogen can have adverse effects on health, particularly among those with respiratory problems. In addition, they contribute to acidification, and to ground level ozone formation. Particulates are also damaging to health, particularly those suffering from cardiovascular and respiratory complaints.
What has been done to control these emissions?
Directive 97/68/EC was passed by the European Parliament and the Council of 16 December 1997 to approximate the laws of Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery. Several amendments have been made to this directive including, 2001/63/EC, 2002/88/EC, and 2004/26/EC to include technological advancements and to extend the scope of the directive to cover agricultural and forestry tractors, small spark ignition engines, locomotives and inland waterway vessels. The directive identifies the necessity to control emissions of air pollutants that have recognised health risks such as nitrogen dioxide, particulates – black smoke and other pollutants such as carbon monoxide.
How does it work?
The directive approximates laws of the Member States with regard to emission standards and has established a ''type approval' procedure for engines intended to be fitted to NRMM. Type approval is a procedure whereby a Member State certifies that an internal combustion engine 'type' or 'family' meets the minimum technical requirements specified in the directive with regards to its level of emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants. Through certification, engine 'types' or 'families' can be approved with the assumption that, as a result of similar design, the expected exhaust emissions will comply with requirements of the directive.
What does this mean for the Construction Industry?
The Mayor of London’s 'Best Practice Guidance' already recommends minimum standards for off-road vehicles associated with increasing numbers of construction sites in London and large high profile demolition and construction sites, more commonly being asked by local planning authorities to specify exhaust emission controls for NRMM within their Construction Environmental Management plans.
In instances where the existing poor air quality exists upgrading NRMM to the latest engine 'type' or 'family', where budget allows, can not only reduce the impact construction activities have on local air quality but also have climate change benefits through efficient / clean engine technologies. As an alternative a range of exhaust after-treatment technologies is also available as a retrofit or as an original equipment option. Where upgrading to the latest technology or retrofit is not possible, other simple changes to on-site operations can be made to reduce the impact of NRMM. Such changes as using ultra low sulphur equivalent diesel and routinely maintaining/servicing an engine can hugely reduce levels of pollutants. Moreover, careful consideration of where to locate stationary construction plant equipment such as generators and cranes can also minimise the impact of exhaust emissions i.e. away from pedestrian walkways or areas where members of the public may be exposed for any length of time. A cost effective way that companies with sizeable stocks of NRMM can minimise their impacts on air quality at the most sensitive sites would be to distribute only there newest NRMM to sites with existing air quality issues.
With ever increasing pressure on the construction industry to tighten up their environmental practices, emissions from NRMM should not forgotten and through planned equipment renewal and on-site management companies can help protect the general public and employees against recognised health risks from air pollution and improve their environmental credentials.
