Storm drains, lining

Fuel, power, water, lubricants, and consumables for welding and gas cutting. Electrical, instmmentation spares and civil repair jobs (flooring, support beams and columns, and storm water drains lining). 

An electric and gas utility ( 1.5 billion in annual revenues) reduced the number of services providers it used for utility line clearance and storm drain damage repair from many to one. As a result, it reduced its costs by 15 percent.

The flap valve should be operable, be chain, at the curb or dike wall and should be closed at all times except to drain surface water from the enclosure sifter rain storms. Instead of the flap valve, a gate valve may be used for containing contents of the enclosure. The gate valve should be installed in the sewer line, outside of the enclosure and be provided with an extension stem for operation at grade level. 

Short-term blackouts, for a period of hours instead of days, are more common, especially in Europe. These can occur from something as trivial as the extra power drain from the millions of kettles being flicked on during a break in a high-profile football game to the power lines being tom down in a localised storm.
