The Trans Mountain pipeline people are using horizontal drilling as well as other methods to cause less disturbance in the laying of the extension of its pipeline to the Coast of BC.

The project is said to emplyee 2200 people and is building on 60 some years of reputation operating the existing line.

We will use trenchless construction techniques, where appropriate, to minimize disruptions. This may be used where the pipeline crosses roads and railways, for select watercourse crossings, and places with restricted workspace such as in some urban areas. Multiple trenchless construction techniques are employed with the selected methodology based on geotechnical conditions, available working space, and length of the trenchless crossing.

There is an antimated display on Trans mountains site for viewing and comment. The company included water courses in the employment of horizontal methods.

October 31st 2020 Blue moon

The time between one full moon and the next is close to the length of a calendar month. So the only time one month can have two full moons is when the first full moon happens in the first few days of the month. This happens every two to three years, so these sorts of Blue Moons come about that often.

Happy National Poetry day…

Along a short the horn blew,
tomorrow is near to be clear.
One more day you have spent,
not able or sure to repent.
Closer ever closer the bitter stuff,
lost time to regret and never forget.
Permanent pose is your life ,
no mercy in past stance to give.
Buck up my friend the horn looks waiting,
closing on que and thinking of you.

Super computer on Burnaby mountain: BC Hydro.

There is a new bird on the perch at Burnaby Mountain, a state of the art academic computer. The project replaced transmission control center and is a asset in the quiver of Simon Fraser University as well as the country.

Simon Fraser University’s Cedar supercomputer is the most powerful of its kind in Canada, and it comes with some impressive green credentials.

“It’s one of the most energy-efficient data centres in North America, and in the world for that matter,” says former BC Hydro media spokesperson Geoff Hastings, now a CTV news anchor in Edmonton. “It’s an intellectual juggernaut that really puts SFU and the Lower Mainland on the map when it comes to research computing. And it’s an opportunity to really advance our civilization in a lot of ways.”

Data linked to CERN collider in Switzerland.

The project has a manager and is a partnership between BC Hydro and SFU.
