The fumes are highly corrosive," said Platoon Chief [Stephen Sumka]. "It's not something you want to immerse your skin in, either. Workers at a construction equipment factory next door were among 100 people in the area evacuated because of the spill. Some of the workers said they saw the acid "sizzling" and "smoking" on the pavement. "We have suits that encapsulate members to protect them with self-contained breathing apparatus so they're not exposed to the fumes," said Sumka.
THE 'HOW TO GUIDE'
One of the key barriers public authorities face when implementing SPP is how to include environmental criteria into the tendering process. Therefore Procura^sup +^ is based around assisting public authorities to apply a set of ready prepared and easy-to-use sustainable criteria for six high-priority product groups - electricity, buses building construction and renovation, IT equipment, food, cleaning products and services. The criteria have been designed to be legally compliant and straightforward for any procurer to apply and verify, requiring minimum time and effort and not leading to a significant increase in costs.4 Much of the Procura^sup +^ work has been undertaken in Europe and is based on regulations in Europe. Accordingly, the focus of this article is generally restricted to in...

The province plans to change its truck permit system, hoping it will spare its aging bridges and roads that are being pounded by increased truck traffic that features new designs that strain highways. The cost of the permit varies with such factors as the distance travelled and size of the truck, he said, explaining the province wants to make the change because it's not confident in the strength of bridges and other structures in light of new truck designs.Those trucks are slightly larger than regular tractor-trailers units and carry such loads as construction and excavation equipment.
These zones are inherently dangerous, when you start narrowing lanes and putting up barricades and there's construction equipment there," Staff Sgt. Wayne Hodgson said. "In an effort to slow people down in construction zones, especially ones that are very, very dangerous, we're obviously monitoring these zones with photo-radar units," Hodgson said. "We have (put up signs), we think in an appropriate fashion, so we've reduced speeds around these construction zones in an effort to get people to slow down. "I don't think we'll be changing that policy," said [Gord Steeves], who is also the chairman of the city's protection and community services committee.
With modern earth-moving equipment and talented construction guys, no longer is anybody intimidated by flat sites," McBroom said. "In Florida and Arizona, they're all flat. I've been spoiled with some great sites in my career, but I'm totally bullish on the new Southwood. McBroom on his first Manitoba project: "It's not the first time I've dealt with a flat site. It just means I have to work more creatively, work harder to create great golf holes. We've got a big piece of land, a lot of room out there, and room to work with. When you have room, you can create effects. I'm not intimidated by this site." Says [Ian Shaw], Southwood's project steering committee chairman: "Our purpose was always to relocate the course, replace the course we have. That's our vision and we've never been int...
