Reducing risk with better tap design.

29 Apr 2009 Concerns originally raised by Welsh Health Estates personnel over the risk of patients, and particularly the elderly and children, burning themselves on the body of mixer taps incorporating TMV3 thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs), have, suppliers ... Read more...

Fibre-optic distributed temperature sensing in combined sewer systems.

30 Dec 2008 This paper introduces the application of fibre-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) in combined sewer systems. The DTS-technique uses a fibre-optic cable that is inserted into a combined sewer system in combination with a laser instrument ... Read more...

Sewer exfiltration and the colmation layer.

30 Dec 2008 Sewer rig studies demonstrate a rapid exponential decline in exfiltration rates from gaps and joints to establish an ultimate steady-state equilibrium varying between 10(-3)-10(-6) l s(-1), with minimum average daily rates per standardised leak area ... Read more...
