INSTALLATION COST [19 records]

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO

CONT

The cost of baiting was reduced with the installation of a... longline system[. The] system... consists of [a] slack taker [that is mounted on a pedestal and] articulated at low tension to pull the groundline from the main hauler to a convenient position at the magazines. The line therefore moves from the hauler to magazines in a safer [and] more convenient manner than could be done by hand.

Take, for example, a decision to upgrade from double-pane to triple-pane windows. The windows will add thousands of dollars to construction costs[, but] they could eliminate the need for a warm-air register in front of each window, and the savings in labor and duct installation could offset the additional cost of the windows.

  • Oil and Gas Distribution Facilities
CONT

The Department received comments suggesting that commercial cardlock and keylock facilities should be exempt from the proposed Regulations due to the variety of commercial vehicle types and large skid tanks filled at these facilities. It was also suggested wholesale purchaser-consumers of fuels should be excluded on the basis of their small contribution to the desired benefits. Finally, one commenter suggested that given the relatively low cost of flow-limiting devices, their installation should be required on all fuel dispensing nozzles, including those used to refuel heavy-duty vehicles.

Le Ministère a reçu des commentaires selon lesquels il faudrait exempter du règlement proposé les installations commerciales à carte d'accès et fermées à clé à cause de la variété des types de véhicules commerciaux et des gros réservoirs sur patins remplis à ces installations. On a aussi suggéré d'exclure les grossistes acheteurs-consommateurs de carburant à cause de leur contribution minime aux avantages visés. Enfin, un intervenant a laissé entendre que, compte tenu du coût relativement faible des limiteurs de débit, il faudrait en imposer l'installation sur tous les pistolets distributeurs de carburant, y compris ceux qui servent à ravitailler des véhicules lourds.

CONT

The fiber optic cables will run through a physically secure underground duct bank from certain buildings designated as hubs to the buildings surrounding them. The fiber will enter each building through a room called an entrance facility, which will be connected by cable to telecommunications closets, which, in turn, connect to each user’s outlet.

CONT

Installing cables in conduit is the recommended method for underground placement... This method provides the best protection and, when conduits are in a concrete encased "duct bank"..., additional cables can be added later at a low cost. On some campuses the conduit duct bank system may be extensive and will include manholes and handholes. Manhole locations can be used for distribution equipment, splice points, and cable installation access points.

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
CONT

The oversteer device needs to be custom-fitted to the pickup truck. ... this [includes] test runs to adjust the settings so that the truck oversteers at about the same lateral acceleration as a T-3000. ... The custom fitting usually requires manufacture or modification of some adapters, so needs access to a drill press and metal cutting equipment, and an assistant on-site to work with the equipment and assist NRC/CSTT with the installation.

CONT

The average cost for refitting a pleasure craft is approximately $1, 500. Refitting costs range anywhere from $400 to $4, 000. Costs reflect the size of the watercraft, the type of holding tank required and whether labour costs are incurred for installation. Costs are often higher in older vessels that do not have the under deck space for standard sized holding tanks and require custom fitting.

Le dispositif de survirage doit être installé sur mesure sur la fourgonnette. [...] cette opération [...] comprend le temps nécessaire pour effectuer des essais d'ajustement, afin que le survirage de la fourgonnette permette une accélération latérale semblable à celle d'un T-3000. [...] Comme l'installation sur mesure nécessite habituellement la fabrication ou la modification de certains adaptateurs, il est nécessaire d'avoir accès à une perceuse à colonne et à des appareils de coupe du métal, ainsi qu'à un assistant, sur place, qui pourra se servir de cet équipement et seconder le CNRC/CTTS au niveau de l'installation.

CONT

Le coût moyen du réaménagement d'une embarcation de plaisance se chiffre à environ 1 500 $. Les coûts de réaménagement peuvent varier entre 400 $ et 4 000 $. Les coûts sont fonction de la taille de l'embarcation, du type de citerne de retenue nécessaire et de l'addition ou non de coûts de main-d'ouvre aux fins de l'installation. Les coûts sont souvent supérieurs dans le cas des embarcations plus âgées dépourvues de l'espace de cale nécessaire pour les citernes de retenue de taille standard et nécessitant une installation sur mesure.

The Fypon Deluxe Entrance Systems are low cost reproductions of Colonial millwork. They will enhance any door entrance. For ease of installation the Crossheads and Pediments are molded as one complete unit. The Fypon Pilaster features a fluted casing, top molding and plinth block, all molded as one complete unit. The Pilasters butt into the Crosshead and can be adjusted for varying jamb conditions. Because it accommodates non-standard openings, the Fypon Deluxe System is ideal for home remodeling/do-it-yourself application.

The graph... shows that for missions lasting more than a month the use of a remote keyset will result in a cost saving. It can also be seen that if the installation for the communication link has already been done then the cost saving occurs almost immediately, so mission planners should consider whether or not to de-install equipment after completion of a mission if an operations site is likely to support near future missions.

  • Transmission Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

A variation of the CVT [continuously variable transmission] is the IVT or toroidal transmission, where a pair of rollers rotate between an input and an output disc. Modifying the angle of the rollers changes the gear ratio. This transmission system is capable of handling higher torque while providing greater driving comfort and faster gear ratio changes. However, it is limited by disadvantages such as increased cost, installation space, and weight. However, Getrag is already working on IVTs for BMW.

Les compagnies Fendt, ZF, Claas, Steyr (Case IH) et John Deere se sont lancées dans le développement et la commercialisation de transmissions qui offrent une variation de vitesse infinie entre 0 et la vitesse maximum. Peu importe le manufacturier, le secret de ce concept réside dans l'utilisation simultanée d'un système pompe-moteur hydrostatique et d'un train planétaire. [...] [Le rôle du train planétaire] est de combiner la puissance du moteur à celle de l'hydrostatique et de l'acheminer aux roues. La vitesse dépend de la contribution de l'hydrostatique.
