Is Cambridge pavers a good paver?

I've installed all kinds and brands of pavers. Cambridge, is by far the best product on the market. To the point that I've been certified as an installer through them and will not install anything else, anymore. Remember, you get what you pay for. You can go the home depot route and expect to replace them in a few years. Cambridge costs a bit more, but they do look like new forever. The Armortec is not a farce.. good luck.

What size BTU natural gas heater should you buy for a 30'x50'x24' work shop?

Typically, use 5 * the volume in cubic feet to get BTU/hour for natural gas heaters. For this shop, that works out to 180,000 BTU/hr. Lower ceilings would make a big difference here...

What are the difference between direct subcontractor and nominated subcontractor?

a nominated subcontractor, with various provisions for obtaining indemnities by the subcontractor (or Employer) but under the main contractor responsibility and coordination, or

** another contractor, which FIDIC provides the incumbent Main Contractor is required to give site access, etc, etc to but coordinated by the Employer

My own understanding, very simply put is that a nominated subcontractor is actually a "normal" subcontract between Main Contractor and Subcontractor, BUT that the nominated subcontractor is selected by the Employer and price agreed with the Employer directly. That would mean that the Main Contractor has the accountability for the subcontractor, notwithstanding any indemnities.

The Consultant has stated today that in their opinion:

** the nominated subcontractor is selected by the Employer and signs a contract direct with the Employer

** the Employer will secure assurances, bonds / performance sureties and warranties direct with the subcontractor, and

** that the Main Contractor DOES NOT sign a subcontract with the subcontractor

** that the main Contractor will not be held liable for certain specified warranties

My understanding is that the Main Contractor still should sign a subcontract with the nominated subcontractor and assumes the responsibilities of a Main Contractor over the Subcontractor - though the Employer states that the Main Contractor has no liability specified warranty issues and quality (only).

I would believe the Main Contractor still has a number of responsibilities in respect of the subcontractor and their general performance.

The Consultant assures they have checked FIDIC and it is normal for the Employer to sign a subcontract direct with the Nominated Subcontractor.

I would believe in that case it is not a "Nominated Subcontract", but instead a direct supplementary contract between the Employer and their Contractor (secondary contractor)

Can you kindly advise quite simply, the contractual position of a nominated subcontract under FIDIC ...... ie does the Employer sign the contract / subcontract with the Nominated Subcontractor, or is it a subcontract between Main Contractor and Nominated Subcontractor with the normal (in general terms) obligations by the Main Contractor for the Subcontractor, to the Employer.

What is setting-time?

That varies from mix design to mix design and in highly influenced by the weather (temperature and humidity). Concrete can be made to reach initial set in under and hour, or can be delayed for days if needed.

A typical mix on moderate conditions may take a 2 to 3 hours to reach initial set.

Initial set is just the first 500 psi... it will continue to hydrate and "set" as long a moister is present. Concrete can continue to gain strength for months, years and even decades (though less and less and time goes on).

Is 180 credit hours equal to MBA?

The number of credits does not determine equality to any specific program of study. Each program will have specific requirements. Once you are accepted to that program, successfully complete the requirements of that program, and the registrar indicates you have completed the program and have graduated, then you have that degree.

What is 162 in unit weight of tor steel?

Let us consider a tor steel of diameter 'd' mm and length 1 m

d mm=d*10^-6 m

Area of cross section,A=(3.14*d^2*10^-6)/4

Volume of steel bar of length 1 m=((3.14*d^2*10^-6)/4)*1 m

Sp.Weight of steel=7850 kg/m3

so,Weight of tor steel=((3.14*d^2*10^-6)/4)*7850 Kg

Hence 162 is nothing but a constant used for calculating weight of all type of tor steel and it is found out from;

(4*10^6)/(3.14*7850)=162
