Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - PLUMBING IN THE MIDDLE EASTHow a desert that should be empty learned to drink the seaThere is not a single permanent river on the entire Arabian Peninsula. By every rule of geography, cities like Dubai and Riyadh should not exist. Yet millions live there, the taps run, and the towers climb - because in the Persian Gulf, plumbing isn't a trade. It's the thin, humming line between civilization and empty sand.This book follows an American plumber across that line. Everything he knows gets turned inside out: at home, you fight to keep water out - off slabs, out of basements, down the storm drain. Here, the whole world is built to bring water in - lifted from the sea by reverse osmosis, pushed across open desert, hoarded in a tank on every rooftop, and re-pressurized building by building.Along the way you'll learn why the world's tallest building once flushed into a fleet of trucks, why a $22-billion sewer tunnel is really a 3,000-year-old idea reborn, why every toilet has a sprayer beside it and faces a particular direction, and why the green plastic in the walls is welded with a hot iron instead of soldered with a torch. You'll meet the Abu Jambo wrench, the squat toilet's hidden trap seal, the booster pump that dies three ways, and the brutal heat that organizes every workday.Built for working professionals but written for anyone curious enough to follow a pipe from the sea to the sink, Plumbing in the Middle East is part field manual, part travelogue, and part argument that the most important systems in any city are the ones we never see. Every concept is taught in four clear moves - the fact, the breakdown, the interpretation, the context - and grounded in real photos, real failures, and real engineering.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever wondered how water reaches your home, how firefighters get water from a hydrant, or how entire cities control the movement of millions of gallons of water every day The answer lies in a hidden world of valves and appurtenances-special devices that start, stop, direct, and protect the flow of water and other liquids through underground pipes and utility systems.In Valves and Appurtenances, readers journey beneath streets, inside buildings, and through vast pipeline networks to discover the mechanical devices that make modern life possible. Through vivid photographs, diagrams, cutaway views, and step-by-step illustrations, students learn how different types of valves work, why they are needed, how they are maintained, and what happens when they fail.The book begins with the major valve families used throughout the world and then follows water through real utility systems, exploring meter valves, curb stops, valve boxes, backflow preventers, underground vaults, and other important components that are often overlooked. Readers also discover how modern technology is transforming infrastructure through sensors, remote monitoring, automation, and smart control systems.Written for curious students, future engineers, skilled trades professionals, and anyone interested in how cities work, Valves and Appurtenances reveals the hidden systems that quietly keep communities safe, healthy, and running every day. Once you understand the world of valves, you will never look at a street, hydrant, or water meter the same way again.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - EVERY DROP is a 148-page, full-color textbook that explains how to capture, store, treat, and use rainwater, taught the way real engineering deserves to be taught. It opens with the science-the water cycle, the math of how much a roof actually yields-then moves systematically through the hardware: roofs and gutters, first-flush diverters, rain barrels, above- and below-ground tanks, sizing for a household, gravity head and pumps, irrigation and indoor/potable use. Later units cover sensors and automation, solar-powered systems, and the U.S. laws, incentives, and backflow standards (including ICC 805) that shape what's legal. A standout Chapter 22 surveys the world's ground-based and traditional methods-sand dams, johads, Brazil's cisterns, Australia's BASIX scheme-each illustrated with original engineering diagrams. Every core concept follows a Fact ? Breakdown ? Interpretation ? Context structure, and each unit ends with worked examples, key terms, and review problems. The book finishes with a complete worked build for a 2,000 sq ft home in the Houston/Southern Plains region, plus a glossary and a real-sourced bibliography. Roughly 43,000 words, aimed at readers 12-17 and the adults who learn and build with them.Key facts at a glance- 148 pages, 8.5 × 11, full color, 43,000 words- 22 chapters in 6 units + Builder's Supplement + appendices- Fact ? Breakdown ? Interpretation ? Context teaching method- Original engineering diagrams throughout; worked examples, key terms, review problems, unit assessments- Current U.S. law, incentives, and ICC 805 backflow standards- Complete worked build (2,000 sq ft, Houston/Southern Plains)- Audience: ages 12-17 and adults- UGK Publications - Hidden Infrastructure Series.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Here's the book in a nutshell: Trenching and Excavation: The Hidden Infrastructure of the Modern World - Volume IV of the Hidden Infrastructure Series, by Felix Powell (UGK Publications). It's a 258-page, full-color, 8.5×11 college-level guide to the trade of opening the ground safely, putting pipe in it, and putting the ground back.The arc is the book's spine - it follows a real job from start to finish rather than jumping around by topic, marching chronologically through the work across seven units and 20 chapters: - Before you dig (Unit I) - It starts where a job starts: understanding the ground itself, then finding what's already buried in it. Read the soil, call 811, mark the lines. Nothing gets opened yet.- The law and the worker's protection (Unit II) - Before the first cut, the rules and the safety logic: OSHA Subpart P, the competent person's authority, PPE, and the air in the trench.- Holding the ground open (Unit III) - Now the cut is open and the central danger appears: the walls. Sloping, benching, shoring, trench boxes - keeping a trench from becoming a grave.- The machines (Unit IV) - The iron that moves the earth: excavators, backhoes, and the discipline of working safely around them.- Putting pipe in the ground (Unit V) - The point of the whole exercise: line and grade, bedding, the pipe itself, embedment, then backfill and compaction to close the trench.- The hard cases (Unit VI) - When the ground fights back: water (dewatering), rock, and trenchless methods that avoid the open cut entirely.- Finishing and the trade (Unit VII) - Closing it out: work-zone protection, restoring the surface, inspection and pressure testing, the final sign-off - and then the career itself, pay and outlook.So the arc runs locate ? protect ? open ? dig ? lay pipe ? close ? finish ? sign off ? build a career. Each unit hands off to the next the way the phases of an actual excavation do, which is why the book reads as one continuous job rather than a reference grab-bag. That same logic carries into the back matter - the Glossary and Bibliography sit at the end as the reference shelf you reach for after the work is understood.The teaching style is plain, flowing prose aimed at apprentices, competent persons, and instructors alike - with Fact/Breakdown/Interpretation/Context cards, 'Why This Chapter Matters' boxes, per-chapter Key Vocabulary, and chapter reviews. It's heavily illustrated with real field photography matched to each topic plus original engineering diagrams, and the bibliography draws on the actual governing standards (OSHA, AWWA, ASTM, NIOSH, MUTCD).The through-line: every pipe, cable, and conduit beneath a modern city was placed by someone who first had to open the ground - and hold it open - safely. The book is the complete guide to that work, from the first cut to a skilled, essential, debt-free career.…
