Hidden Drainage System Revealed in Bath

Modern Engineering: Historic Setting

Beneath the pedestrian areas of modern day Bath lies an example of clever engineering not actually invented until fairly recently. Ingenious as the Romans were, it fell to the specialised engineers at Gatic to come up with a surface water drainage system that was not only highly efficient but practically invisible to the untrained eye.

 Rapid surface water disposal

Gatic Slotdrain shows only as a deceptively discreet, continuous 10mm slot on the surface but underneath, its unique profile means it can rapidly dispose of surface water, whether a trickle or a torrent.

Slotdrain's straightforward installation process is complemented by our rapid design service and the availability of FREE design software. The concept's flexibility and adaptability mean that bespoke design requirements can be easily accommodated. Even the Romans would have been impressed.

Tradition of Jaffna

Here I have shared some photographs, which are reflecting the tradition of the Jaffna Peninsula. Jaffna located north part of Ceylon. 

Seychelles

Seychelles is an island country spanning an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, some 1,500 kilometers (932 mi) east of mainland Africa, northeast of the island of Madagascar.

Other nearby island countries and territories include Zanzibar to the west, Mauritius and Reunion to the south, Comoros and Mayotte to the southwest. Seychelles, with an estimated population of 86,525, has the smallest population of any African state. It also has the highest Human Development Index in Africa.

Seychelles is one of the famous tourist places in the world. I have got some photographs which are taken around 2010. Just I shared here.

Transparent Concrete

New Architecture in Concrete... ... from translucent blocks and photo-engraved building fronts to revolutionary materials that promise to change the rules of construction as we know them today. We all know that concrete can be concocted to look like many things, but who would have thought that the rock-solid substance could be a substitute for a window? As it turns out, a handful of academic and commercial researchers are not just dreaming of this, they are busy making it happen.
