Automotive Lift Institute Introduces Check360™ Certified Lift Inspection, New Inspection Label

CORTLAND, N.Y., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) has developed a new lift inspection process for the more than 500 ALI Certified Lift Inspectors across North America to follow when inspecting any car lift, truck lift or other vehicle lift. The <a target="_blank"…

CORTLAND, N.Y., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) has developed a new lift inspection process for the more than 500 ALI Certified Lift Inspectors across North America to follow when inspecting any car lift, truck lift or other vehicle lift. The Check360™ Certified Lift Inspection is a comprehensive examination of the lift structure as well as its electrical and mechanical components. The inspection also includes a review of training logs, operating instructions and safety materials. Check360 lift inspections meet all the requirements of the national safety standard governing lift operation, inspection and maintenance, ANSI/ALI ALOIM (current edition).

The standard requires that all vehicle lifts be inspected by a qualified lift inspector at least annually and provides extensive guidance on what must be inspected. The ALI Lift Inspector Certification Program was introduced in 2012 to provide a resource for standardized lift inspection procedures and qualified lift inspectors to perform them. It was the first – and remains the only – program to establish lift inspector credentials and to independently test and certify inspectors who proved qualified to inspect any type of lift.

With the introduction of Check360, ALI has updated the inspection procedures for all lift types and has made it easier for customers to confirm that the inspection they receive is complete and meets all industry standards.

«As the ALI Lift Inspector Certification Program has grown, we’ve seen an increasing number of inspection companies offer multiple tiers of inspection and apply misleading inspection labels to lifts inspected outside of our program parameters,» says R.W. «Bob» O’Gorman, ALI president. «To make it easier for customers to have confidence that they’re getting what they paid for – an inspection that meets all the requirements of the national safety standard – we developed a new lift inspection process customers can ask for by name and a new lift inspection label that’s harder to counterfeit. Check360 is the only lift inspection backed by ALI, the organization that’s been protecting lift operators for more than 75 years.»

To ensure consistency and compliance, only ALI Certified Lift Inspectors can perform a Check360 lift inspection. At the conclusion of the inspection, the inspector will provide the customer with a thorough report of the results and will apply a new Check360 Certified Lift Inspection label to every lift that passes. The label features the Check360 mark in the center, the ALI Certified Lift Inspector hologram, a serial number matching the inspection report number, and the inspector’s individual four-digit ID. There is a new label color every year (2021 labels are orange) and all unused labels must be accounted for at the end of the year. Check360 labels can be applied exclusively by ALI Certified Lift Inspectors.

The Check360 inspection label provides assurance to the customer that the lift was thoroughly inspected from top to bottom in compliance with the national safety standard. It also gives code enforcement officials instant proof of the last time the lift was professionally inspected and deemed in proper working order.

«Remember, there’s only one lift inspection backed by ALI: the Check360 Certified Lift Inspection,» says O’Gorman. «Ask for it by name.»

Resolution Copper maintains public access to Oak Flat campground

SUPERIOR, Ariz., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Resolution Copper will maintain public access to areas within Oak Flat including the campground and recreational trails and climbing, after completion of the land exchange mandated by bipartisan legislation that passed Congress in 2014.

<div id="divReleaseHighlight89f5" contenteditable="false" style="BORDER-TOP: gray 1px solid; WIDTH: 200px; BORDER-BOTTOM: gray 1px solid; POSITION: relative; FLOAT: left; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: gray; COLOR: gray;…

SUPERIOR, Ariz., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Resolution Copper will maintain public access to areas within Oak Flat including the campground and recreational trails and climbing, after completion of the land exchange mandated by bipartisan legislation that passed Congress in 2014.

Resolution Copper will maintain public access to areas within Oak Flat including the campground and recreational trails.

Resolution Copper today published a management plan on its website detailing how it will continue to operate the campground in keeping with current Tonto National Forest practices. Community groups and Native American tribal representatives will continue to provide input on how the area is protected and managed after the land exchange.

Resolution Copper has contracted with 4 Winds, a local small business part-owned by members of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, to maintain the campground areas infrastructure and access trails.  

Resolution Copper project director Andrew Lye said: «Resolution Copper will maintain public access to areas within Oak Flat including the campground, recreational trails and climbing after the land exchange is complete, as permitting and studies to shape the project continue. We will continue to consult and seek community input as we refine and shape the Resolution Copper project over the coming years, to minimize any impacts on Oak Flat.

«Resolution Copper is committed to fostering constructive relationships with the local community and Native American Tribes in Arizona, especially those with a historical connection to the land in and around the project area. We are encouraged by the direct and positive engagement of the local community and many Tribes throughout the permitting process. Resolution Copper will continue to engage with the local community and seek the consent of all 11 Native American Tribes that have historical connections with the land involved in the project before any decision on development, consistent with the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) Statement on Indigenous Peoples and Mining.»

Completion of the land exchange is expected in March, transferring 5,459 acres of high-value conservation land to the Federal Government in return for Resolution Copper taking ownership of approximately 2,422 acres around the project site. The land exchange requires Resolution Copper to maintain public access to the Oak Flat Campground for as long as it is safe.

The US Forest Service is currently undertaking a public review and comment period on its Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Resolution Copper project. Its final record of decision is expected in the second half of 2021. More information can be found on the Forest Service’s website at www.resolutionmineeis.us. After the US Forest Service process, further permitting will be progressed with other authorities and a detailed feasibility study completed over several years to inform investment considerations on the project. When an investment decision is made, Resolution Copper is expected to take around 10 years to build infrastructure to prepare for mining.

About Resolution Copper

The Resolution Copper Project is operated by Resolution Copper Mining, which is a limited liability company owned 55 percent by Resolution Copper Company (a Rio Tinto PLC subsidiary) and 45 percent by BHP Copper Inc. (a BHP PLC subsidiary).

Pandemic Causes Average Assisted Living Price Per Unit to Plunge, Skilled Nursing Values Also Dip, According to New Acquisition Report From Irving Levin Associates, LLC

NEW CANAAN, Conn., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the seniors housing and care industry in 2020, causing average values to drop across each sector, year over year. The average price per unit for seniors housing communities, which comprise both assisted living and independent living, fell to $196,200 per unit in 2020, a 20% decrease over 2019’s average, according to new acquisition data from Irving Levin Associates. That market…

NEW CANAAN, Conn., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the seniors housing and care industry in 2020, causing average values to drop across each sector, year over year. The average price per unit for seniors housing communities, which comprise both assisted living and independent living, fell to $196,200 per unit in 2020, a 20% decrease over 2019’s average, according to new acquisition data from Irving Levin Associates. That market was driven by a large number of sales of lower quality assisted living communities, which led to the average assisted living price plunging by 30% from $248,400 per unit in 2019 to $174,700 per unit in 2020. Meanwhile, independent living saw a more modest decrease in average price from $233,600 per unit to $232,500 per unit, year over year. «As census and cash flow plummeted at senior care facilities across the country throughout 2020, many owners of struggling properties decided that now was the time to divest,» stated Ben Swett, Editor of The Senior Care Acquisition Report, 26th Edition. «But compared with independent living, the assisted living sector was generally in worse shape going into the pandemic, with existing census, rent discounting and labor issues stemming from overdevelopment only getting worse.»

The average seniors housing cap rate in 2020 rose 40 basis points from a record-low of 7.4% in 2019 to 7.8%. This further explains the decrease in average price and was a result of the lower quality properties that sold in 2020. Separating out the assisted living and independent living markets, both sectors reported jumps in their average cap rates, with the assisted living market gaining 30 basis points to an average of 7.9% and the independent living market increasing by 90 basis points to average 7.6%.

Skilled nursing values fell in 2020, with the average price per bed dropping by 14% from $93,000 in 2019 to $79,700 in 2020. Accordingly, the average cap rate rose by 60 basis points to 12.7% in 2020. «The skilled nursing industry arguably bore the brunt of the pandemic, particularly when it came to the media glare,» added Ben Swett. «These facilities care for a frail, medically complex population, which was very susceptible to COVID-19, but the industry will still be an important part of the acute care and post-acute care continuum going forward.»

Numerous headwinds faced the seniors housing and care market in 2020 and were only made worse by the pandemic, so deal volume fell from a record-high level of 453 publicly announced transactions in 2019 to 352 deals in 2020, for a 22% drop. Based on publicly disclosed prices, dollar volume also declined by more than 50% year over year, from $16.95 billion in 2019 to just $7.9 billion in 2020. All of the market statistics will appear in the soon-to-be-published report from Irving Levin Associates, The Senior Care Acquisition Report, 26th Edition, 2021.

The Senior Care Acquisition Report, 26th Edition, 2021 contains statistics on the skilled nursing facility, assisted living, independent living and CCRC merger and acquisition markets in more than 70 charts and graphs, including prices per bed or unit, capitalization rates and income multiples, in more than 250 pages. The Report also includes transaction information on each of the 352 publicly announced seniors housing and care acquisitions in 2020. The Senior Care Acquisition Report, 26th Edition, 2021 may be purchased for $795. For more information, or to order the report, call 800-248-1668. Irving Levin Associates, LLC was established in 1948 and has headquarters in New Canaan, Connecticut. The company publishes research reports and newsletters, and maintains databases on the health care and senior housing M&A markets.

Burns & McDonnell Projects Across the U.S. Earn Excellence Awards

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Three Burns & McDonnell projects have received 2021 Engineering Excellence Awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) in the organization’s respective regions.

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Three Burns & McDonnell projects have received 2021 Engineering Excellence Awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) in the organization’s respective regions.

Below are the award-winning projects and their stories.

ACEC California
Commendation Award
Delta Air Lines Ground Support Equipment Maintenance Facility
Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles International Airport diligently has been working on improvements to prepare for the 2028 Summer Olympics. As such, Delta Air Lines recently relocated and rebuilt its ground support equipment (GSE) maintenance facility to accommodate its current and future fleet. Burns & McDonnell was selected to design and construct the new 27,000-square-foot GSE facility.

With the schedule demand, an integrated design-build project delivery method was used to rapidly progress the project, which included assisting the airline with moving management operations from the existing facility to the new building. During pre-construction planning, the team developed design packaging strategies to determine appropriate methods for a smooth move, limiting operation downtime.

Burns & McDonnell also designed and built aircraft-rated Portland cement concrete apron pavements. The design team evaluated the aircraft fleet intended to use the facility and revamped the structural pavement section to support nose gear loadings and the loading from the GSE vehicle fleet. 

ACEC Missouri
Grand Award
More’s Lake Coal Combustion Residuals Impoundment Closure and Restoration Project
Columbia, Missouri
In 2015, Columbia elected to close the More’s Lake coal combustion residuals (CCR) site to focus on removing and decontaminating all areas affected by coal ash to meet new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations regarding the disposal of CCR in landfills and surface impoundments.

Burns & McDonnell was brought on to develop closure plans, design and construct the site groundwater monitoring well network, perform groundwater monitoring and reporting, provide regulatory submittals, and certify the closure of the facility. The firm also performed the engineering design and completed the construction plans and specifications so the city could beneficially utilize the coal ash as an embankment fill to create a new landfill access road. This unique approach saved the city 13,000 cubic yards of landfill airspace and approximately $600,000 in saved tipping fee revenue while also conserving valuable landfill cover soil.

Upon closure, the city retained Burns & McDonnell to continue restoration of the site by designing a public park featuring walking trails with benches, a picnic shelter, a fishing pier and green spaces. The park also includes a bioretention cell to manage stormwater drainage from the roadway and parking area.

ACEC Missouri 
Grand Award
Portneuf River Culvert Replacement
Lava Hot Springs, Idaho
This culvert replacement project used partial tunneling with tunnel liner plate to replace a severely deflected corrugated metal pipe (CMP) in the Portneuf River in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. The team chose a trenchless replacement method, a first for the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The method was used to replace the 262-foot-long, 10-foot-diameter culvert because of multiple project constraints, including tall mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls with 45 feet of fill and geofoam above the culvert.

Environmental constraints included wetland impacts and mitigation, aquatic organism passage, presence of migratory birds and bats, protection of vegetation, and turbidity. Hydraulics challenges included performing a no-rise analysis, obtaining acceptable velocities for the pipe and avoiding a decrease in the hydraulic opening. In addition, the Portneuf-Marsh Valley Canal Co. limits the time frame for reducing river flows with an upstream flow control structure from October through March, when low flows are anticipated.

ITD partnered with Burns & McDonnell to solve these complex challenges. Ultimately, a partial tunneling solution was selected and included shoring of the existing culverts, sequentially removing sections of the existing CMP and constructing a new pipe inside the existing one.  A galvanized steel tunnel liner plate and timely pressure grouting of the new culvert sections were used for the project. All culverts were retrofitted with a beveled headwall to improve hydraulics, and the overflow culverts’ inverts were repaired with concrete as preventive maintenance.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Three Burns & McDonnell projects have received 2021 Engineering Excellence Awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) in the organization’s respective regions.

Below are the award-winning projects and their stories.

ACEC California
Commendation Award
Delta Air Lines Ground Support Equipment Maintenance Facility
Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles International Airport diligently has been working on improvements to prepare for the 2028 Summer Olympics. As such, Delta Air Lines recently relocated and rebuilt its ground support equipment (GSE) maintenance facility to accommodate its current and future fleet. Burns & McDonnell was selected to design and construct the new 27,000-square-foot GSE facility.

With the schedule demand, an integrated design-build project delivery method was used to rapidly progress the project, which included assisting the airline with moving management operations from the existing facility to the new building. During pre-construction planning, the team developed design packaging strategies to determine appropriate methods for a smooth move, limiting operation downtime.

Burns & McDonnell also designed and built aircraft-rated Portland cement concrete apron pavements. The design team evaluated the aircraft fleet intended to use the facility and revamped the structural pavement section to support nose gear loadings and the loading from the GSE vehicle fleet. 

ACEC Missouri
Grand Award
More’s Lake Coal Combustion Residuals Impoundment Closure and Restoration Project
Columbia, Missouri
In 2015, Columbia elected to close the More’s Lake coal combustion residuals (CCR) site to focus on removing and decontaminating all areas affected by coal ash to meet new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations regarding the disposal of CCR in landfills and surface impoundments.

Burns & McDonnell was brought on to develop closure plans, design and construct the site groundwater monitoring well network, perform groundwater monitoring and reporting, provide regulatory submittals, and certify the closure of the facility. The firm also performed the engineering design and completed the construction plans and specifications so the city could beneficially utilize the coal ash as an embankment fill to create a new landfill access road. This unique approach saved the city 13,000 cubic yards of landfill airspace and approximately $600,000 in saved tipping fee revenue while also conserving valuable landfill cover soil.

Upon closure, the city retained Burns & McDonnell to continue restoration of the site by designing a public park featuring walking trails with benches, a picnic shelter, a fishing pier and green spaces. The park also includes a bioretention cell to manage stormwater drainage from the roadway and parking area.

Grand Award
Portneuf River Culvert Replacement
Lava Hot Springs, Idaho
This culvert replacement project used partial tunneling with tunnel liner plate to replace a severely deflected corrugated metal pipe (CMP) in the Portneuf River in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. The team chose a trenchless replacement method, a first for the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The method was used to replace the 262-foot-long, 10-foot-diameter culvert because of multiple project constraints, including tall mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls with 45 feet of fill and geofoam above the culvert.

Environmental constraints included wetland impacts and mitigation, aquatic organism passage, presence of migratory birds and bats, protection of vegetation, and turbidity. Hydraulics challenges included performing a no-rise analysis, obtaining acceptable velocities for the pipe and avoiding a decrease in the hydraulic opening. In addition, the Portneuf-Marsh Valley Canal Co. limits the time frame for reducing river flows with an upstream flow control structure from October through March, when low flows are anticipated.

ITD partnered with Burns & McDonnell to solve these complex challenges. Ultimately, a partial tunneling solution was selected and included shoring of the existing culverts, sequentially removing sections of the existing CMP and constructing a new pipe inside the existing one.  A galvanized steel tunnel liner plate and timely pressure grouting of the new culvert sections were used for the project. All culverts were retrofitted with a beveled headwall to improve hydraulics, and the overflow culverts’ inverts were repaired with concrete as preventive maintenance.
