Aside from health concerns that may arise, serious environmental repercussions may also come about if the chemicals and other forms of toxic waste are not disposed of accordingly. Chemicals like mercury and lead from batteries can contaminate and destroy lakes, which will ultimately have an effect on people. With tools like the CalEnviroScreen, things can still be changed for the better. Meanwhile, municipalities, companies, and industries should work together alongside waste disposal companies, like Green Clean Water & Waste Services, that conduct proper discarding of toxic waste. Additionally, all stakeholders should partner with a company that practices safety measures like traffic control along San Diego streets, when conducting their services. Though pollution and other forms of environmental challenges continue to rise, there is still time to control them and turn things around for the next generations to come.

Traffic Control Equipment: What You Need To Know

Making sure that your roadwork project in San Diego is undisturbed is your company’s primary responsibility. Road contractors use an arsenal of traffic control devices to keep the roads safe for motorists and their workers. Here are a few of them:

Traffic Cones

One of the more recognizable traffic control devices, these bright orange cones made of plastic are intended to warn away drivers from dangerous areas. They are quite visible even in the dark and effectively used at night. They are placed strategically around the work or danger areas as a warning for motorists to keep out.

Barricades

Barricades are a more definite way of saying that a place is off-limits. Often made of metal, they are used actually to hold back pedestrian, more than vehicles. However, they can be heavy enough to deter an automobile from attempting to crash into them.

Signs

Signs indicating that work is ongoing ahead of them are posted at least a kilometer away from the work area to serve as an early warning to motorists. This gives drivers advance knowledge and enough time to adjust their speeds and proceed carefully and safely.

Flags/Lights

Sometimes, active warning is implemented to ensure a more effective warning broadcast to motorists. An employee or a team of workers with guide flags or flare lights are posted on the road to warn motorists of ongoing work in the area. This is usually performed during inclement weather or at night.

How Wastewater is Treated

Wastewater is made clean again generally through a basic four-stage filtration process. Here’s a quick explanation of how each process works, leading to previously filthy wastewater clear-worthy enough to flow through the rivers again.

Stage 1: Pre-treatment screening

In the first stage, wastewater goes through a network of huge screens that remove larger contaminants, such as diapers, plastics, broken bottles, and rags that can block or damage the filtration equipment.

Stage 2: Primary treatment

After the screening process, the water moves into large tanks where it is kept to allow suspended solids to settle into the bottom. Once the contaminants go down, they’re called sludge, which is “digested” to produce methane gas—harnessed later with the help of special chemicals, to use to fire up your stoves.

Stage 3: Secondary treatment

The water then goes into large, rectangular tanks called aeration lanes. Air is pumped into the water to encourage bacteria to “eat up” the tiny bits of sludge left out from the settling-scraping process. Chemicals are sprayed onto the water to aid the bacteria for a faster filtration rate.

Stage 4: Final treatment

More chemicals are sprayed onto the water to allow more sludge to settle to the bottom of the tanks, in a sense, duplicating the primary treatment phase. After the sludge is settled and collected, the water is pushed through a bed of sand to remove additional contaminants. By this time, water is virtually harmless, and is released into the natural water systems.

Tools of the Trade: Traffic Control Devices

Projects being conducted on the road are a source of frustration for many motorists since the developments tend to affect and seize up traffic flow. Thus, those handling the projects will need to properly employ traffic control measures in order to minimize the effect they have on traffic. One such method of traffic control is through the use of traffic control devices, such as signs, cones, constructions drums, and so on.

Traffic control devices come in all shapes and sizes, each suited for particular functions. One of the most basic of these devices is the traffic sign. Capable of depicting messages, warnings, or temporary traffic regulations, these devices can direct motorists capably, and sometimes without the need for traffic personnel for additional instruction. Barricades are also an essential traffic control device for keeping cars and even pedestrians away from project areas.

Since transportation project developments will eventually complete and hinder motorists no longer, traffic control devices need to be both portable and temporary. Thus, devices such as safety cones, sandbags, concrete roadblocks, and construction drums should be quick to set up initially and easy to take away once the project finishes. Contractors should choose the right traffic control devices based on their project needs.

Protect the Environment with Waste Water Management

Everyone is taught in school about the importance of preserving the environment, especially the importance of conserving water. We are taught not to pollute existing water sources, avoid throwing waste in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Another lesson we are taught is to never use water in excess of what we need.

As we grow older however, we also learn that we should do more to preserve water sources. As property owners, we produce a great amount of wastewater on a daily basis, which when not properly disposed of, can be hazardous to ourselves and our homes, or can find its way back to the general reservoir.

Fortunately, there are several laws that have been established to serve as guidelines in how we can manage the wastewater that we produce daily. By making sure that we follow these guidelines, we can make a significant contribution in the preservation of our water supply and the environment.

It is understandable, however, if one does not understand all of the laws and regulations that go with proper wastewater disposal. Thankfully, there are professional plumbers and specialists who we can turn to in making sure our homes and properties are compliant with waste water regulations. They can also provide us assistance when we encounter problems and emergencies related to waste water management.
