Electrical systems supply energy to buildings, plants, and other loads. The electric current travels through transformers, switchgear, feeder circuits, and branch circuits to the eventual load served.
The primary purpose of HVAC systems is to heat and cool working fluids (typically air or water) that in turn heat, cool, and/or ventilate spaces in buildings and plants.
The technical fundamentals described in this Executive Insight provide a foundation for an increased rate and depth of learning related to the design and construction of structural steel work.
Properly modified soils are the most economical solution for many constructed facilities. To meet structural support requirements, soils at some project sites may require treatment such as the addition of water, lime, or cement.
When designing a structure for the marine environment, it is essential to first envision the means, methods, and equipment needed to build the structure.
The purpose and scope of concrete work differs for various types of constructed facilities. In the case of infrastructure work, the main applications of concrete are highways, bridges, canals, dams, and tunnels. For buildings, footings, columns, beams, and decks are often constructed of concrete.
