Question 2. (Minimum 450 and Maximum 750 words)
Assume that you are a CEO of an international architecture/ landscape architecture firm and due to the COVID 19 outbreak all over the world, your company is facing numerous challenges such as:
• No face to face meetings (direct dealing) with clients, contractors and other stakeholders etc.
• Employees not being able to have site visits or full time/ physical presence in the office
• Lack of supplies/ late deliveries due to the lockdown situations in the market
• Financial, managerial and other problems due to uncertain and unusual circumstances
• Any other issues (you may assume yourself)
Under these circumstances, what plan would you make for your company that goes in the interest of the Company but without compromising the safety and security of your employees and other stakeholders involved?

8. A water treatment plant with a surface water intake source is being designed for a municipality that has a water demand of 18 million gallons per day (MGD). It has been determined that the maximum daily summertime water temperature is 20oC, and the minimum daily wintertime water temperature is 5oC. It has been determined that the design of the disinfection system must achieve 2.5-log credit for Cryptosporidium removal or inactivation. Ozone will be used as the disinfectant with a concentration of 0.4 mg/L. If the contact basin is designed with three separate tanks in parallel, what volume should each tank be? In formulating your answer, use the Ct table specified in LT2ESWTR (provided below). Assume that the contact basins will behave as ideal plug flow reactors.

A facility emits 18 g SO2 /s at an effective height of 60m. On a cloudy night, an anemometer at a height of 10 m above ground measures the wind-speed at 3.2 m/s.

  1. Predict the ground-level SO2 concentration 0.4 km directly downwind. (60 pts.)
  2. What does the plume look like? Sketch a plot. (20 pts.)
  3. What would the plume look like if there were an inversion layer at an elevation of 100 m? Sketch a plot. (20 pts.)

CASE STUDY: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
GPM was established in 2010 by three young entrepreneurs. You and two friends registered a closed corporation (GPM-Consultants cc), and the core deliverable (or service offered) is managing projects on behalf of medium to large organizations and enterprises.The assignment that needs to be submitted for marking is about you managing a project on behalf of a GPM-Consultant cc client: TECNI Wholesalers. TECNI Wholesalers' brief (what they want done) to you is as follows: TECNI Wholesalers is currently only operating in the major provinces of South Africa. These are – Gauteng, Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal. They have just completed a major investment process, and organisation expansion. TECNI Wholesalers has obtained the services of GPM-Consultants cc to manage 'Project Infiltration', which will result in TECNI Wholesalers operating in all nine provinces of South Africa, and increasing their supplier base from 68 retail stores to 850 retail stores country wide. TECNI Wholesalers currently has a staff complement of 147; 72 at the head office in Sandton, Gauteng, and 25 each in a distribution depot per province, and this includes the drivers. They have 14 medium-sized trucks for deliveries (6 in Gauteng, and 4 each in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape). TECNI Wholesalers cc has allocated R4.8 million to 'Project Infiltration'. This amount includes GPM Consultants cc fee (10% of gross project value), with the following specifications: Setting up and staffing distribution depots in every one of the six provinces they are not currently operating in. This includes the expansion of head office to accommodate the servicing of the additional depots country wide.
 Suitable premises acquisition in Mpumalanga; Limpopo, Eastern Cape
 Suitable premises for rent, with a paid upfront 12 month contract
 Recruit suitable staffing requirement for each province
 Purchase suitable vehicles and trucks for each depot
 Furnish and equip depots
 Arrange for suitable insurance cover
TECNI Wholesalers has allocated an additional R5 million for stocking the warehouses with the products that they sell and distribute.

Problem 2: A rectangular concrete beam measures 350mm wide and has an effective depth of 425mm. Compression steel consisting of two # 25 is located 65mm from the compression face of the beam. If f ′ c=28MPa and fy = 420MPa, what is the design moment capacity of the beam, according to the ACI code, for the following alternative tensile steel area. (a) As = 3 # 32 bars in one layer, (b) As = 5 # 29 in two layers, (c) As = 6 # 32 bars in two layers? (Note: check for yielding of compression in each case.).

Based on research, list (3) specific considerations for use of steel, reinforced concrete (precast or site-cast), OR wood structural elements in design. In other words, list specific situations in which a particular material would be a good or bad choice.
Don’t simply list a characteristic of the material.
Be careful to describe in what specific situation, building type, or project type that particular characteristic would be beneficial or detrimental.
For example: When using precast concrete, you must have adequate laydown space to store components between the time they’re delivered to the site and lifted into place. Therefore, precast might not be a good option for very tight/cramped or sloping construction sites.

City Q has an average water consumption of 22000 m3 / day. Jar tests have indicated that 33 mg / L of hydrated aluminum sulphate "alum" [Al2 (SO4) 3.14H2O] is the optimum dosage required to treat the water supply to this town. The additional alkalinity used is HCO3-. The natural alkalinity in the untreated water source is 57 mg / L as CaCO3. Use the coagulation reaction to:
a. Determine the amount of coagulant used per day (in kg / day)
b. Determine the amount of precipitant generated per day (in kg / day).
c. How much alkalinity is being consumed during the coagulation / flocculation process (in mg / L CaCO3)? Is the natural alkalinity level adequate?
