Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Post

Ever wonder what it takes to modernize a historic Air Force base? It starts with understanding what’s beneath the surface—every pipe, line, and connection. At F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY, Merrick is completing a multi-phase utility designation project to map, analyze, and model underground systems. Currently in phase 3, we’ve previously identified and verified underground utilities for more than 26,500 feet of roadway, helping to streamline future operations and improve infrastructure efficiency across the base. #wearemerrick

Port Recovery Update 7.10.24 Noon The PCT held a call this morning for port recovery efforts: 1. All ports are open with restrictions (MSIB with restrictions described attached). 2. The Army Corps is processing surveys from yesterday and conducting additional surveys today and tomorrow. Draft limitations will be re-evaluated as surveys are reviewed. 3. Nighttime transits for Galveston, Texas City, and Houston will be tested tonight. 4. VTS remains at limited capabilities due to extensive damage to sensors at Lynchburg and Morgan's Point. Traffic will be limited to ensure safe traffic patterns. 5. Facilities still need to submit their checklist or complete the checklist. a. The main issue is missing Box 4. Soundings. Per USCG, the facility can use any method the facility feels comfortable with, but there must be some method used and explained in the comments. If you only list the draft of the dock without the method of measuring the current draft, the form will be rejected. USCG may or may not require official hydro surveys based on the response. b. List of outstanding facilities: https://homeport.uscg.mil/... COTP%20facility... c. Form: https://lnkd.in/gpuJfbXq... 6. Power issues: Facilities can be prioritized for power restoration. Contact David.wade@oem.hctx.net for support. 7. Expect multiple MSIBs/updates to be issued in the new few days as more restrictions are lifted. #Houstonport #HurricaneBeryl #portcondition #posthurricane #HoustonShipChannel Greater Houston Port Bureau Houston Pilots Galveston Wharves at Port of Galveston Port Of Freeport WGMA San Jacinto Maritime Training Center Texas A&M University Galveston Campus Darren Shelton 🚢 Eric M.

Did you know.....that EVs are actually LESS likely to catch on fire compared to traditional (or ICE) vehicles? Despite the noise in the media, various surveys concluded that EVs represent FAR LESS of the overall vehicle fires reported. Per BILLION MILES driven, there were 55 ICE vehicle fires compared to just 5 EV fires. And EVs exhibited 61 TIMES FEWER fires per 100,000 sales than ICE vehicles. All of that is backed up but the City of Phoenix Assistant Fire Chief Tim Kreis. It was awesome to learn about how proactive and forward thinking Tim’s team and the City of Phoenix has been with these new trends. In fact, that hoverboard or scooter sitting in your garage is more likely to catch on fire than your neighbors EV 🔥🛴 Thank you Arizona Technology Council and the AEEE committee for another great event Deborah Zack | Victor Atlasman | Brett Dooley Thank you Legacy EV for hosting at your new facility Mavrick Knoles | Rob Ward Learn more about the future of #electrification #batterytech #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatetech at the next AZ CleanTech event June 3rd.

One more short piece before Association of Defense Communities (ADC) Installation Innovation Forum #IIF24 starts next week. Why is base planning struggling to keep pace with rapidly shifting battlespaces? The UFC’s primary concern remains “facility and infrastructure development” rather than charting innovative responses to the fact that “the primary characteristics of modern and future operating environments are accelerated decision making and rapid operations.” I think that means we all need to stop assuming that every need can or should be met with a building. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/eiFQ7RS8

When push came to shove, King Richard III was willing to give up his entire kingdom in exchange for a horse, just to win one battle.
