You work for a general contractor experiencing increased rate of “high frequency, low impact” incidents. Specifically, the company has observed an increased rate of incidents associated with overexertion, slips trips, and falls at the same level, back pain, sprain and strains, and fatigue. You are asked to propose a solution to this problem. Your boss mentioned that they are open to implementing technologies or a combination of technology and effective safety practices. In about 300 to 500 words:

A grit chamber is designed to treat an average wastewater flow of 1 m3/sec at an overflow rate of 4752 m3/m2 –d to capture sand with the following particle size distribution:
% by wt. Diameter (mm)
30 1.0
30 0.5
30 0.2
10 0.1
The design overflow rate is such that 100% removal of the 0.5 mm diameter particles will be achieved. The operating temperature is 20°C and the specific gravity of the sand particles is 2.65. Assume that the stickiness coefficient (k) for sand is 0.04 and the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor (f) is 0.03.
a. Determine the surface area and vertical cross-sectional area of the grit chamber if only the 0.1 mm diameter particles will be scoured away
b. Calculate the removal efficiency assuming that only the 0.1 mm diameter particles will be
scoured away.
c. If the ratio of peak to average flow is 1.4, calculate the overall removal efficiency at the peak flow.

Introduction
Transportation accounts for a signification amount of the total energy consumed in any country, and Trinidad and Tobago is no exception. The bulk of the energy so used comes from burning fossil fuels.
The Task
You are required to determine the reduction in energy consumption if electric vehicles are used instead of internal combustion engines.
You must also determine the reduction in carbon dioxide generated if the electricity used to charge the vehicles comes from the power stations burning fossil fuels or from solar power.
Finally, you must do an economic analysis to determine the reduction in expenditure with the present subsidy on fuel and if instead the subsidy is given as a subsidy on capital expenditure for electric vehicles and solar panels (CAPEX) and not on fuel (OPEX).
