    Brand Development Brand Development in the Canadian Cast in the Canadian Cast Iron Stove Industry in the First Half of the Iron Stove Industry 20th Century 288 Lisa Baillargeon ESG, Université du Québec à Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada, and Patrice Gélinas York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Introduction From the turn of the 20th century and up to the 1950s, many manufacturers operated in Canada during what has been labeled as the “glorious and golden age” of cast iron stove manufacturing (Laberge, 1980). Famous brand names remain in collective memory to this day, including Bélanger, McClary, P.T. Légaré, Moffat, and l’Islet. This paper studies brand development in the Canadian cast iron stove industry over this period to fill a void in the Canadian literature and to add to the very few U.S. papers that comprise the North-American literature. Several clues point to the existence of deliberate branding activity at the largest Canadian foundries beyond efforts to differentiate stove types, models, sizes, names and designs. Canadian stove branding would have followed in the 19th century’s footsteps of the largest U.S. manufacturers who managed “to sell customers a full line of stoves covered by a unifying brand name that conveyed a promise of common quality” (Harris, 2008, p.720). This paper is the first to explore cast iron stove brand development in Canada. Literature and Research Hypotheses Few papers exist on cast iron stove brand development and the thin literature covers mainly the U.S. market over the 1815-1875 period (Harris, 2008). Branding development has been investigated in several other historical contexts at the firm level, including Colgate (Foster, 1975), Quaker (Thornton, 1933), Proctor & Gamble (Petty, 1985), General Mills (Gray, 1954), or Listerine (Lambert, 1927) and at the macro level in whole industries like firearms (Witkowski, 2010), brewing (Tremblay and Tremblay, 2005) or automobile (Rao, 2006).

  • An Energy Model for Sustainable Decision-Making in Road Construction Projects

    An Energy Model for Sustainable Decision-Making in Road Construction Projects

    AN ENERGY MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE DECISION-MAKING IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Jan Krantz, Weizhuo Lu, Tim Johansson & Thomas Olofsson Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. ABSTRACT: Road construction operations often require considerable amounts of energy in the form of fossil fuels, thus generating substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While fuel efficiency of the heavy construction equipment is extensively studied, limited attention is given to how the construction process can be planned in order to reduce energy use and GHG-emissions. In this study a conceptual model is proposed for the assessment of energy use and GHG-emission on-site at road construction projects. The model is applied to a road construction project to evaluate production alternatives in the early planning stages of the project. As a result the most favorable alternative in terms of energy use and GHG-emissions could be selected during the construction phase. This demonstrates the model’s ability to quantify environmental effects and energy use of different production alternatives. KEYWORDS: Earthworks; Energy estimation; Greenhouse gas emissions. 1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Road construction generally requires extensive earthworks operations such as excavations, hauling, and depositing of materials as well as crushing of rock. These operations require large and energy intensive equipment and thus generate considerable amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Apif M, Phil 2013). (Stripple 2001) estimated that the amount of fuel needed to construct a road is about 5% of the total fuel consumption of all traffic, of 5 000 vehicles per day, using the road during its expected lifetime of 40 years. Energy efficiency, as a measure for mitigating GHG-emissions, has become one of the most important centers of attention for the Swedish Transport Administration (STA).

Very often gravel surfaces are not limitations appropriate, affordable or sustainable for rural roads. There are for example serious problems related to the maintenance and sustainability of gravel surfaces (or ordinary earth roads). Although the initial construction costs of gravel roads are low, the maintenance costs are very high. The suitability of graveling roads depends on a range of factors. These include for example the road gradient, rainfall, material quality, haul distance and maintenance regime. Gravel should NOT be used if any of the following conditions, or a combination of them applies: Gravel quality is poor; Situations Compaction & thickness cannot be assured ; where gravel is not suitable as Haul distances are longer than 10km; surface option Rainfall is very high – Gravel loss is related to rainfall; There are dry season dust problems; Technical Guidelines for Supervisors Technical Traffi c levels are high, i.e. more than 200 vehicle equivalents per day; 49 Road gradients are more than 6% (with < 1,000mm rain per year) or more than 4% (with 1,000 – 2,000mm rain per year); If rainfall is more than 2,000mm/year; Adequate maintenance cannot be provided; Sub-grade is weak or soaked; Gravel deposits are limited or environmentally sensitive.

  • Steel-Tired Rollers

    Steel-Tired Rollers

    Steel-Tired Rollers CHARLES F. PARKER, Chief Engineer, W. H. Hinman, Inc., Westbrook, Maine • THE STEEL-TIRED ROLLER was one of the first types to be used in highway con• struction and it still plays an important part in the construction of base courses and flexible-type pavements. The correct use and improvements in the design of these rollers to better accomplish a specified purpose is important. The use of pneumatic-tired, vibratory and other types of rollers is recognized. However, this paper is confined to steel-tired rollers of the static type. There have been many important developments in vibratory rollers, many of which are steel-tired. However, vibratory rollers, even when steel-tired, are not considered in this paper. Application of the use of steel-tired rollers in this paper is limited mainly to the construction of crushed stone macadam-type base and surface courses and bituminous concrete base and wearing course pavements. Webster's dictionary defines a tire as "a hoop or band of metal, rubber, air-filled rubber tube, or the like, placed around a wheel of a vehicle to form the tread." Tread is defined as "the part of a wheel, tire or runner which bears on the road, rail, etc., or any of various things or parts on which a person or thing treads, stands or moves." Although this type of roller is commonly called "steel-wheeled," a more accurate term would be to describe it as a "steel-tired" roller. HISTORY OF THE STEEL-TIRED ROLLER Although it would be appropriate if this paper could be started by stating ]ust who invented the first steam roller, the best that can be said is that this has been a con• troversial item for many years.

World manufacturers constantly improve their products, renewing up to 30% of the manufactured equipment. New items are aimed at improving functional and technological parameters, allowing to raise the productivity and quality with account to scientific developments. Today the road sector needs the road roller able to implement the multiplicative effect, provide the “intellectual” compaction with quality control in real-time. By now over 600 models that differ both in their major parameter (weight) and in design have been created. Such an abundance represents a significant statistical material that is used to determine the dependencies between the parameters of road rollers in the form of regression equations with the correlation estimate. The new comparative evaluation is offered – the sealing capacity indicator (SCI), allowing to evaluate the ability of compaction of road concrete mixes by road rollers. The effectiveness of using the road roller with the new type of operating device – perforated rollers allowing to automatically change the amount of contact pressure and able to operate at all stages of the compaction process was found out.

The process is often begun with the removal of earth and rock by digging or blasting, construction of embankments, bridges and tunnels, and removal of vegetation (this may involve deforestation) and followed by the laying of pavement material. A variety of road building equipment is employed in road building. After design, approval, planning, legal and environmental considerations have been addressed alignment of the road is set out by a surveyor. The Radii and gradient are designed and staked out to best suit the natural ground levels and minimize the amount of cut and fill. Roadways are designed and built for primary use by vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Storm drainage and environmental considerations are a major concern. Erosion and sediment controls are constructed to prevent detrimental effects.
