    Polygon Viewport

    Hi Folks We have just changed over from one CAD system to AutoCAD 2008 LT. (Yes I know its not 2008 yet...but AutoDesk seem to always be one year ahead--they must operate a different calender to everyone else) I can't seem to insert or configure a polgonal viewport in paperspace. It only lets...

    cleanroom pressures

    Balancer 2 There are a couple of things that you need to clarify. What grade is the clean room. Basic class 100,000 systems for example can sometimes have floating room pressures since the process is none critical. When you get to class 1000 for instance, you will need a lobby which has the...

    Pipe Thread Compatibility etc between USA and UK

    Kepharda It has been suggested that I ask for blank flanges with major plant items. That way I can drill and match any flange to it and make the necessary connections. Thats the theory any way Friar Tuck of Sherwood

    Sprinkler-Fire Systems for Domestic Use

    Your regs sound similar to ours I thought with it being residential they would be more relaxed I think we are going to need to dig a big hole (to put a tank in) or find a space for a big water tank (I don't think the Architect is going to be very happy) Thanks for the excellent info Tucky...

    Sprinkler-Fire Systems for Domestic Use

    Hi Folks I am doing a holiday village with restaurant/small hotel in Antigua I thought I would start this new thread as the old one is not relevant to this problem (See thread on 'water' problem ) Has anyone done a domestic sprinkler job. We don't get them in the UK, they tend to be...

    Water Problem

    Abbynormal It's interesting that you mention having the tank (cistern) outside with a raised section (0.5 metre above ground) In the UK our water regs are quite strict about water tanks and backflow prevention. (i.e. stopping water contamination getting from the users end back into the utility...

    Water Problem

    Hi Folks Thanks for the assistance I am interested in how water is delivered by road?? In the UK, this concept is unheard of. Presumable a truck arrives with a long hose pipe and each property has a special fill valve located outside with a fill alarm to prevent over filling the tank...

    Water Problem

    Hello fellow engineers I have a problem that needs some serious thought. We are involved with a new holiday facility in Antigua. It comprises of about 25 holiday homes and restaurant (each home will probably contain 4 or 5 people) The island appears to have a low rainfall and water is at a...

    Buildings in Hot Climates

    Abbynormal Where do you live? Antigua or somewhere nearby. Sorry for being nosey. I tried the link on one of your replies but couldn't access those retirement houses you talked of. (perhaps the link has been removed??) Never heard of Frogs being a nuisance, that sounds quite funny. I ate...

    Buildings in Hot Climates

    Great ideas. Really helpful, thanks. Solar Panels Are there any preferred solar panel people in the area. We normally use German manufacturers such as Viessmann, but they might not be suitable since they have glass panel fronts.(Easily breakable in high winds/hurricanes) Perhaps a simple...

    Buildings in Hot Climates

    The project is a mixture of holiday homes (single storey and 2 storey) with a central restaurant/bar and a swimming pool. (Very posh) Air-Conditioning I have looked at a few manufacturers, but can you suggest any American suppliers/manufacturers that might be ok to use. I am concerned that if...

    Buildings in Hot Climates

    Abbynormal Thanks for the reply, No, we are building services designers only, but the Architect might need a bit of help. With regards to air con, I was thinking of using Daikin or Mitsubishi 'splits' which have a special dehum cycle so we can get rid of some of the humidity. My concern is...

    Buildings in Hot Climates

    I am interested to know how buildings are constructed in hot humid climates. (Jamaica, Bermuda, Antigua) Is it beneficial to insulate them against heat or is that a ridiculous statement. My theory is that if you have a poorly insulated concrete or wooden roof, it will let more heat in. So by...

    Regulations in Antigua

    Abbynormal You say you are a mech engineer. Is this designing HVAC systems. If so, I would be interested to know where you have worked and what sort of projects. Have you worked on offices, houses, factories, hospitals etc. Do you have consultants where you are or do you have design and build...
