A Las Vegas multifamily development comprising two sites and 778 apartments integrated dual-utility submetering by leveraging LoRaWAN wireless networking and a dual-channel pulse counter, enabling unit-level gas and water monitoring without added infrastructure complexity.The ChallengeOriginal spec planned gas metering only, leaving water unmonitored at the unit ...
Membranes are thin coatings made of special materials that are generally resistant to water, moisture, gas or other external factors. These materials may consist of various components such as polymer-based synthetic products or bitumen-based materials. Membranes are usually sold in rolls and are designed to meet the specific needs of the application ...
As the construction industry becomes ever more complex, building owners and developers are increasingly recognizing the importance of waterproofing. Waterproofing is a critical construction strategy that aims to create a sustainable living space by increasing the durability of buildings while protecting them against water ...
In today’s construction sector, the focus is on the durability and longevity of materials used in engineering projects. In this context, polyester geotextile stands out as a frequently preferred material in construction projects and infrastructure works. In this article, you will find answers to questions such as what is polyester geotextile and what are its ...
Geomembranes are versatile materials used in construction, environmental protection, and water management projects. This specialized material is widely preferred, particularly in regions prioritizing water resources, such as South Africa, for applications like waterproofing, erosion control, and waste ...
Today, the long-term durability and sustainability of buildings depends on a solid foundation of waterproofing. Water is known to cause serious damage to building materials and therefore waterproofing has become a key element of protecting buildings from water ...
Today, the variety of materials used in the construction sector is an important factor for the durability and longevity of the structures. One of the prominent among these materials is PVC waterstop tape. These special tapes help protect structures against water by providing an effective solution for waterproofing. ...
Leak detection in industrial environments rarely relies on a single technology. Most mature inspection programs are built around layered detection strategies, where different tools support one another depending on the type of leak, operating conditions, and inspection goals. Within this framework, thermal imaging to detect leaks is widely used as a complementary method. Rather than replacing ...

Flood protection products are everywhere—but not all flood barriers are created equal. When you’re protecting valuable property, vehicles, or business entrances, choosing the right flood barrier isn’t just about price—it’s about strength, durability, and performance when it matters most. That’s exactly where our aluminum flood barrier system stands head and ...
When looking for flood protection for a garage door, many property owners are presented with two very different solutions: garage door threshold kits and aluminum flood barrier systems. Although both are described as “removable flood barriers,” they are designed for very different levels of flood risk. Understanding the difference is essential for choosing the right ...
Flooding is becoming increasingly common due to heavy rainfall, storms, and poor drainage. Garages are often one of the most vulnerable entry points for floodwater, especially in residential and commercial properties. One of the most effective and reliable solutions is the use of aluminum flood ...
An oil water separator system is designed to solve this problem by separating oil, grease, and petroleum-based fluids from water before the water is reused, treated, or discharged. ...
As winter sets in, pest pressures don’t go away—they shift. For facility managers, property owners, and pest control professionals, cold months introduce a different set of challenges, especially when it comes to birds. As temperatures drop and food sources disappear, birds become more reliant on buildings for shelter and warmth. That makes winter bird control a critical priority for ...
In recent weeks, severe flooding across Western England has once again highlighted how vulnerable homes and communities are to extreme weather events. Prolonged heavy rainfall has caused rivers to overflow, streets to disappear under water, and thousands of homeowners to face costly damage to their properties. As climate patterns continue to change, flooding in the UK is no longer a rare event ...
This increases the risk of: Porosity (gas pockets within the weld) Hydrogen induced cracking, also known as hydrogen assisted cold cracking, which can appear hours or days after welding Brittleness and reduced ductility, leading to unexpected failures in service Sources of moisture contamination Moisture can enter the welding process in more ways than many operators expect: Shielding gases ...
A Homeowner’s Guide from MICRO Finding mold in your home can be concerning—but with the right information, it’s a problem that can be addressed safely and effectively. At MICRO, we focus on educating homeowners about mold, moisture, and indoor environmental quality so they can make informed decisions that protect their homes and families. If you suspect mold in your house, ...
A geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is a type of geosynthetic material specifically used for waterproofing and leak prevention in artificial lakes, landfills, underground garages, rooftop gardens, swimming pools, oil depots, and chemical storage facilities. ...
Fairly or unfairly, the water sector gets a rough ride when it comes to a reputation for running with new ideas. It’s regularly highlighted for slowness to adopt advanced technologies. The industry has only given rise to two tech unicorns (a startup valued at over $1bn), compared to more than 380 in the finance sector. I recently wrote how differences in structure and governance create ...
When winter sets in and temperatures drop, many pest bird species shift their behavior in search of shelter, food, and warmth. For warehouses and industrial facilities, this seasonal shift brings heightened risk of infestation. Large, open indoor spaces—often with high ceilings, exposed rafters, and ongoing human activity—offer birds ideal roosting conditions during colder months. If ...
