🔬 Covid-19 Safety Guidelines for Construction Sites

 WCCE members are fully aware of the need to slow the Covid-19's virus spread. Bearing in mind that quite a large number of countries are considering construction as an essential activity which is labour intensive, it is the responsibility of our professional to prevent the spread of the virus in the workplace. On such grounds, WCCE has become to compile safety guidelines for construction works from different jurisdictions in order to help other professional organizations which lack them or have not been put in force yet. 

For the time being, 36 guideline documents from 31 countries have been collected but we expect that with everybody's collaboration, we would be able to build a relevant repository on the topic.

💡 Defining civil engineering - A column by Jorge Abramian, WCCE President Elect

A previous research about the civil engineering profession sparked the interest to investigate how different countries define this practice. The mentioned research related to the number of civil engineers available in different countries, and showed a correlation with population, being the average of the 38 sampled countries close to 1.050 civil engineers per million inhabitants.
However, the data scattered and its standard deviation was somewhat large. Interestingly, some of the respondents pointed out that in their countries the definition of civil engineers was generally broader than in the rest of the world – those countries were not taken into account in the mentioned investigation as would bias the results.

In these cases, they explained, civil engineering was understood as the opposite of, for example, military engineering. Hence, civil engineering was an umbrella that covered construction, mechanical, chemical, transportation engineering and others as specializations of civil engineering.

🏢 2020: the Year of the 3S Buildings Safe – Sound – Sustainable

The European Council of Civil Engineers has declared the 2020 as the Year of the 3S Buildings – Sound – Sustainable. The official opening event was held on 14th December 2019, at Nicosia, Cyprus during the 27th General Assembly of the Cyprus Association of Civil Engineers. As you are aware, the idea of the announcement of the year 2020 as the year of the ECCE 3S Approach "Safe, Sound and Sustainable" derived from the relevant Position Paper titled "The need for integrating Structural / Seismic Upgrade of Existing Buildings, with Energy Efficiency Improvements” which is being elaborated by ECCE.

The Manifesto that you will find attached highlights the need for integrating Structural / Seismic Upgrade of Existing Buildings, with Energy Efficiency Improvements. The new trend nowadays is…smart financing for smart buildings. But a building can only be called smart... once it fulfills the 3S approach “safe, sound and sustainable”.

We request WCCE Members to promote this idea and give our initiative publicity through your communication channels (webpage, newsletters, e-journals, etc.) so that we make our voice heard to the public. Some of our members have already started campaigning on the 3S approach which seems to be finding acceptance. Moreover, FIEC has adopted our approach supporting that energy efficiency retrofitting needs to be done in parallel with other necessary repairs and maintenance, such as those aimed at structural reinforcement and safety improvements.

Code of conduct

The two currencies that players can play on the Uptown Ace's pokies are dollars and pounds. There is no real way to tell the difference except to play on the casino and decide which one feels most comfortable with. Both of these currency rates are in actuality very stable. When you play on the internet you do not have to worry about what is exchanged as well as how it is exchanged. In a real casino, any of the currencies that are dealt with would fluctuate greatly. According to the https://aucasinoslist.com/casinos/uptown-pokies/, the Uptown Ace's website features a VIP program. There are various different types of bonuses that players can become involved in. The highest level of VIP program includes a 100 percent match up to a specific amount spent. In addition to this, players will receive comp points whenever they spend money on the site.

Os bônus de recarga são similares aos bônus de boas-vindas, mas a porcentagem é normalmente menor. Eles são dados aos clientes existentes, e não aos novos clientes. Em outras palavras, um cassino oferece um bônus de 30% em cada depósito às sextas-feiras, enquanto um bônus de recarga às sextas-feiras pode oferecer 30% em cada depósito. Esta é uma forma de recompensar os clientes fiéis por seus negócios contínuos, mesmo depois de terem depositado. De acordo com o https://casinosnobrasil.com.br/, se você já esteve em um cassino de verdade antes, você pode estar curioso sobre como os jogos de dealer ao vivo diferem dos jogos online regulares. Jogos de dealer ao vivo oferecem a conveniência de um dealer de verdade, mas podem preencher a lacuna entre cassinos online e cassinos de tijolo e de morte. Eles também acrescentam uma camada extra de legitimidade à experiência do cassino online, o que pode ajudar a atrair novos jogadores. Os jogos de dealer ao vivo estão disponíveis em vários sites de cassinos online. A seguir estão listados os principais jogos disponíveis nesses estabelecimentos.
