my little town of renfrew

Thousands see opening of revamped Renfrew Town Hall THOUSANDS gathered in Renfrew on Saturday to enjoy the reopening of the town hall. An afternoon of entertainment was laid on to celebrate the completion of a £5.2million revamp of Renfrew Town Hall, which dates back 140 years. A parade from the town’s Robertson Park started the celebrations, followed by a performance from Renfrew Burgh Band. Former X Factor star Gamu took to the stage alongside children’s entertainers, The Singing Kettle. A Clyde One roadshow and funfair rides kept the crowds entertained before the A-listed town hall was officially declared open by Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Provost Celia Lawson and Derek Mackay MSP. A spectacular fireworks display after the official opening was the highlight of the day and attracted a huge crowd to the High Street. Over 150 people took the opportunity to see inside the restored town hall and newly-created Renfrew Community Museum. Provost Celia Lawson, said: “Everyone involved with the £5.2m modernisation aimed to reflect how much the town hall means to the people of Renfrew. “That was clearly demonstrated at the opening ceremony where the community got behind the event and we had a big turnout of people enjoying a landmark occasion. “I’d like to thank everyone who supported the project.” Councillor Eileen McCartin, Convener of Renfrewshire Council’s Community and Family Care Policy Board, said: “The modernisation of the town hall has preserved its heritage and also given Renfrew a top-quality facility. “It’s like having a new building inside the traditional exterior. The new museum is also an exceptional feature which does full justice to Renfrew’s proud past.” Designed in 1872 by Paisley architect John Lamb, the building at the end of Renfrew’s High Street has been completely reworked with ornamental devices like cornices, plasterwork and decorative urns around the rooftop parapet repaired or replaced to their original standard. External landscaping was complemented with the use of Caithness flagstones, granite ramps and steps. The building was given a new steel frame structure and the flat roof was replaced. The new community museum was built alongside the hall to display the town’s history, and takes visitors through the history of Renfrew from medieval times to the present day using objects, pictures, film and people’s own words.

electrica car charging stations

ABB installs UK’s first privately owned DC rapid charging station Transport Minister Norman Baker opens electric vehicle rapid charger at Midlands printing company RCS ABB has delivered the UK’s first privately owned direct current (DC) rapid charging station for electric vehicles. The charger was installed in Retford, Nottinghamshire and has been officially opened by Transport Minister, Norman Baker, underlining the UK government’s commitment to promoting ultra low carbon transport. The Terra 51 charger was recently installed at the offices of printing company RCS in Retford, just three miles off the A1 that connects London and Edinburgh. RCS, a fast growing company that aims to become the greenest producer in its industry, bought the charger with financial support from the Midlands Plugged-in Places (PiP) project, part of the UK government’s wider programme to develop EV charging infrastructures across the UK. The rapid charge station is being used by RCS to recharge its electric fleet of sales and delivery vehicles, but will also be part of the Plugged-in Midlands public charging network. 'We know there is public appetite out there for plug-in vehicles and we’re doing everything possible to make them a real option for both motorists and industry,' said Mr Baker. 'The installation of this charging station will not only make it easier and faster for electric vehicle owners to recharge away from home, but demonstrates how our Plugged-in Places programme is helping to stimulate private investment in vital infrastructure. There is no doubt that low carbon vehicles are here to stay, and we will continue to work with the industry to create a world leading charging network that really reflects the needs of its users.'

jobs in greenock

A GREENOCK business is set to create up to 30 new jobs, the Tele can reveal. Social enterprise company Solas is currently looking for three customer service staff and an energy saving technician and says that a further 26 workers are expected to be taken on over the next six months. Half of the workers will be based at the firm's Greenock office at Lynedoch Industrial Estate and the others will work at their site in Dumbarton. The extra staff are needed to help with the company's plans to install solar technology which takes energy from the sun to create electricity that will operate electrical appliances. Jim Percival, energy advice and community participation manager at Solas, is delighted with the new plans for the future. Mr Percival said: "As other companies are finding it difficult to make ends meet we are trying to help. "This opens a whole new area for Solas and it is extremely exciting for us. "We are a small company but our aim is to become a world leading social enterprise. "It's very exciting - every day is an adventure." Solas already has 40 staff working at its Greenock and Dumbarton bases and its core business involves home insulation installation, expert energy advice and the provision of energy performance certificates. The firm says that the solar technology it will be able to install thanks to the new jobs boost will allow property owners to accrue an income for generating electricity. The organisation, which was set up nearly 25 years ago to create sustainable high-quality employment and fight fuel poverty, is also involved in a new partnership that will offer support to the non-domestic market on energy issues. The scheme is set to be launched at the Scottish Parliament at the end of this month

electricians strike

Electricians stage second strike Action is focused on high-profile projects like the Dome Electricians across the country are staging a second day of action over pay. The action has been led by workers on prestigious projects such as the Millennium Dome, the Royal Opera House and the Jubilee Line extension (JLE), and similar construction sites across the UK. The BBC's Stephen Evans: "The strikes signal a militant mood" The action comes just a week after thousands of electricians downed tools in their first 24-hour stoppage last Tuesday. The strikers are angry at their own union, the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union, which is currently negotiating the annual national pay award for its 40,000 members. Strikers say the union has made too many concessions during negotiations. Workers want to "use their muscle" while they have it They are also furious at union statements that electricians on the JLE, the underground line which links central London to the Dome, are earning £1,800 a week. One strike leader said most electricians earned about £1,000 less than that, and the union was trying to discredit the activists by claiming such a figure. On Wednesday, the strikers also angrily denied claims that there have been further incidents of sabotage on the JLE. Police were called to the project last year to investigate incidents, including the cutting of wires. The Jubilee Line Extension is already behind schedule However, both the strikers and JLE managers said on Wednesday that they had no knowledge of any further incidents. The AEEG's general secretary, Sir Ken Jackson, criticised the strike action as "unnecessary". He said discussions with employers had not been finalised, and that he believed an "excellent agreement" on pay would soon be reached. Strike organiser Tony Miller told the BBC the strikers had been reluctant to take action, but felt that they had to be heard. "Let's face it, while we've got a bit of muscle we've got to use it," he said.

Not so surprising as cable management systems represent a significant cost in labor and are key to the networks distribution strategy. One could think that cable trays in steel wire or in sheet metal have reached a peak in innovation. Manufacturers are always launching new functions or new assembly methods in order to stand out in a very competitive market. The overall trend is the simplification of ranges and thus the speed of installation. Distributors (who want to stock references and accessories always more polyvalent and less bulky), installers and their subcontractors (in permanent search of saving time on the worksite) are directly concerned. Intuitive and no cut-out assembly CTS : stored flat, this angle will be quickly shaped when the time comes. CTS with its brand CES, proposes for example intuitive assembly solutions while trying to limit the need for cut-outs as much as possible. Cut-outs constitute indeed a waste of time and increase the risks of accidents. Besides, this manufacturer should soon launch a significant improvement for the standard rail 41x41mm, integrating more functions… and fewer accessories. Gewiss offers a variable-angle elbow named Maricurve that adjusts without cut-outs. A plier or a hammer are sufficient to initiate the needed deformation and to adapt the angle at the worksite. All this based on one single element delivered straight. This accessory ensures an automatic coupling and guarantees ground continuity.

The variation range of their internal temperature remains acceptable through the seasons and stays within the limitations imposed by the incorporated devices. However, some electrical switchboards should deal with extremely cold temperatures (technical rooms in the mountain) or with very warm or humid atmospheres (installations in Africa, in the Far East,…). Without going that far, some electrical switchboards contain a high density of power electronics devices. These electronic devices are more and more compact and generate a high level of heat dissipation. It is particularly true as examples for transformers, and for variable speed drives too. This situation is also frequent in little or big computing rooms. So, what are the solutions for electrical switchboards? Read the rest of this entry » Join the forum discussion on this post
