Answer: The image is of the lower portion of a crane boom, showing two hydraulic driven pumps that control the primary lift cable and the heavy lift cable. It is a 150 ton crane that was designed for […]

If you are dealing with a built-up roof (BUR) or a “bald” single-ply membrane that has aged several years, you should have good success using one of two basic strategies in which the wet insulation reveals itself thermally due to its higher heat capacitance or its […]
Hope you all enjoy this week’s teaser image! We’re doing something a little different this time around: a 2 part series. See if you can guess the theme.
